His heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest as he nervously tapped his fingers on the Breadstix's table and waited for Blaine. It was the day after Blaine had proposed, the day after he had said yes and the day after he had decided to break off the engagement. Blaine thought they were having dinner together to discuss wedding plans which if you thought about it was ridiculous because he was still in high school. But really Kurt was just meeting him to tell him that they weren't getting married, ever and to give Blaine back his ring. He wanted to make it quick, tell him his reasoning for breaking up with him before he left and drove to the airport to catch his rescheduled flight. He just hoped that Blaine didn't put up a fight but knowing his now ex-fiance, he knew Blaine would.
Kurt watched in slow motion as the restaurant door opened and Blaine walked in, his ring beaming under the lights. He saw Kurt sitting at a table in the far back corner and made his way over, smiling as he bent down to give Kurt a kiss. After trying to kiss him on the lips but only succeeding to reach the cheek and to get a tight smile from Kurt in return, Blaine sat down in front of him with the hand he had his finger on laying not so nonchalantly on the table.
"Hello future husband," Blaine said jokingly. "How does it feel so almost be Mr. Kurt Anderson?"
"Funny you should mention that," Kurt said, gritting his teeth, "Blaine we need to talk…" He started to say but then Blaine cut him off.
"So I already got a head start on wedding venues and I found a really great one in New York…"
"Blaine listen to me…"
"It's kind of expensive but it's nothing I can't handle…"
"Blaine look…"
"Oh and that reminds me, Kitty and Tina helped me look at food venues too. We'll have to go cake taste testing one day like they do in the movies, that'll be fun,"
"GOD DAMMNIT BLAINE, I'M NOT MARRYING YOU," Kurt finally yelled, loud enough for Blaine to notice but not too loud to acknowledge the rest of the customers around them.
"Well of course we aren't right now baby," Blaine smiled. "We just got engaged, let's wait a while,"
"No, look Blaine, I'm not marrying you period. Ever. I wouldn't marry you if you were the last person on Earth and that's putting it nicely. I've had some time to think things over and I don't want to marry you. I just agreed to have dinner with you tonight to tell you the news and to return your ring. So here," Kurt said, slipping the ring of his finger and sliding it across the table to Blaine. "Give it to someone who actually wants it,"
Blaine however just sat there with a confused but still chipper look on his face, obviously not getting what Kurt was telling him.
"Kurt, don't say that," Blaine laughed. "You're just nervous, it's okay. I'm nervous too but we'll get through it together. Take back your ring," He said, sliding it back over to him but when Kurt looked at him with a stone cold stare, Blaine's expression changed drastically. His smile turned into a frown and his eyes flashed angrily before filling with tears.
"Please tell me you're joking. I mean this is so sick of you. After all I've done for you... "
"Oh please Blaine, just save it," Kurt snapped angrily. "What have you done for me besides manipulating me into saying yes at that shame of a proposal?"
"I worked hard on that performance, it took weeks for me to gather up all the show choirs so we could plan that,"
"And I feel bad that you wasted everyone's time rehearsing that but I'm not going to fall for another one of your games. And that's all this is, a game,"
"It wasn't a game to me," Blaine cried dramatically. "What we have is real Kurt. We're Klaine, high school sweethearts, soulmates,"
"You make me sick," Kurt said, swiping his hand off the table when Blaine tried to reach for it. "First of all it's really crappy of you to cancel my flight back to New York when I have a job to do and an education to get because contrary to what you think, I need way more than just love Blaine. I'm not going to sit back and let you prevent me from achieving something great just because all you see me as is your housewife and your possession. All you're going to do is hold me back and I'm not going to let you. Second of all it was a game Blaine. You think that you can dedicate this big, elaborate spectacle to me in front of all my friends and my dad and then you ask me to marry you knowing that I would have to say yes because if I said no then I would look like the bad guy. Well guess what, if it takes me being the bad guy to get out of this crappy relationship then I'll be the worst person in the world Blaine, I really don't care as long as we aren't together. So you can go ahead and tell everyone about how much of a crappy, horrible person I am and all that crap but we both know who the real problem is. I should've never agreed to get back together with you,"
"Kurt I love you, you know that and you love me too. So if this is about me cheating on you then why can't we just put it past us? You weren't innocent in that situation either,"
"But that's the thing Blaine," Kurt said, shaking his head as the tears formed in his eyes, "You never even loved me. You may think you love me as a person but the only thing you love about me is the idea of being with me. And I certainly don't love you, I barely even like you and I'm sorry if that hurts you but I've been hurt by you way too many times to come running back into your arms. It's not fair to me,"
"How have I hurt you?" Blaine asked, narrowing his eyes at him. "How have I hurt you worse than you hurting me right now?"
"Umm let me see," Kurt mocked, tapping his fingers on his chin. "You led me on, going after a guy that wasn't even out of the closet and who was way too old for you when I was right there, soulmates my ass. Then I come out and specifically tell you that I like you and you give me that "I'm not good at romance" bullcrap, brushing me off but then you come to a party with me, with my friends and get drunk before making out with Rachel? Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? That you'd rather go out with a 20 year old when you're only 16 and then when that fails a girl when you're gay then me?"
"I was drunk," Blaine defended himself.
"Whatever, it doesn't even matter anymore. You asked me how you hurt me and I was just answering you. Anyway after that you say I'm not sexy, which okay that's not a big deal but after that, just when I'm starting to pull away from you, just when I'm starting to get over you and on with my life, you finally realize that you're in love with me. You were just playing mind tricks with me the whole time and whether you realize it or not, it still hurts and it's still wrong. It still goes to show that you need to take some time for yourself and learn how a proper relationship works because obviously you don't know what's right and what's wrong. And that's just the surface, I haven't even mentioned how you almost raped me, how you stole a role in a school play for me when I specifically told you that I needed it for NYADA and you told me that you wouldn't audition for it, how you flirted with another guy right in front of me and then sent flirty text messages to. But then god forbid I text another guy when I'm just trying to make a friend because when I do it I'm cheating. And then you go and you bring all of our friends into it, only telling your side of the story and not mine so that everyone takes your side. And then you actually go and physically cheat on me when I was in New York for less than a week. I mean after all of that how would you even think that I would still want to be with you? How could you even consider proposing to me when we had just gotten back together? Just… why?"
Blaine didn't answer. He just sat there glaring at Kurt who glared back. The match between them lasted a few moments before Kurt spoke up again.
"So like I said I'm not marrying you. I don't care what you tell everyone because at this point they're your friends, not mine. Don't contact me and if you do, don't expect me to answer. I don't have any of your possessions and if you have any of mine you can keep it. I don't want anything to do with you. If and when you come to New York, if and when you get into NYADA you stay far away from me. Don't come up to me, acting all friendly like you don't remember what has gone down between us. We're through,"
And with that Kurt forcefully stood up and walked away from the table, leaving Blaine and his ring on the table. He felt free, like a huge brick had been lifted off his back as he walked out of the restaurant and to his car. Could he have been a little bit gentler with Blaine? Honestly no, he had felt that way for too long and he deserved to be able to tell that to him and to express how he felt. And there was no nice way to express how he felt about Blaine.
When he got to his car he admittedly took out his phone, going onto his FaceBook page and sealing the deal of his break up by changing his relationship status from "Dating Blaine Anderson" (he had never changed it to engaged) to "Single". That would let everyone know that he was officially over him whether they liked it or not.
It was his turn.
Notes:
First off all let's give it up to Kurt for finding his backbone 👏👏 Honestly I still think that Blaine's proposal was ridiculous and not because I don't like Klaine but because a) Blaine was still in high school and he knew about Kurt's views on young marriages and b) they just got back together, I mean Blaine took the definition of go big or go home way to seriously, you don't ask someone to marry you when you just got back together with them after cheating on them. It's just OOC to me for Kurt to actually say yes, he had a good thing going with Adam (yes I know it was only supposed to be temporary ) and I thought that he was actually start to grasp the idea that he deserved better than Blaine. That being said along with the teen marriage thing back in season 3 I just don't see how he would've realistically said yes. He better take that ring off 💍💍 I imagine that they get divorced post canon and that Kurt gets together with Elliot, Adam or Sebastian because that should happen.
That's all I really have to say. I can't believe I'm already halfway done with this because usually it takes me months just to get to chapter two lol. The next three chapters are just sad, like sad sad sad so don't say I didn't warn you. I just feel bad writing something like this because usually my stories have happy or at least bittersweet endings but this one doesn't. I think I originally got this idea when I listened to Rachel's version of Jar Of Hearts (I literally cry everytime I listen to it) and then I found out that the song was about abusive relationships and my mind went straight to Klaine. But it wasn't supposed to be like this, originally Sebastian was supposed to come in chapter 5 and it was going to be a Kurtbastian endgame but like, isn't that so predictable? I feel like it doesn't really happen like that in real life and I guess it doesn't really matter because when you write you can literally play god and do whatever you want but I guess this is me doing whatever I want
Anyway thanks for reading, hope you like it so far, get your tissues ready if you cry easily (aka if you are me 😥😥) because the last 3 chapters get pretty dark and please leave any comments, questions or feedback for me in the comment section down below. Have a great day/night! 😁😁
Peace✌️✌️
