Kurt and Blaine were spending an evening cuddled on the couch in the Hummel-Hudson household watching a movie. It was quite peaceful until they heard Finn's truck pull up in the driveway. Finn came into the house, took one look I the living room and groaned. Kurt and Blaine gave each other a confused look. This wasn't the first time Finn had come home to find them cuddled together on the couch so why, all of the sudden was Finn so upset?
"Is there a problem, Finn?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. Why is he always here?" Finn asked.
"What?" Kurt asked, clearly confused.
"Blaine is the problem. Why do you two always have to be here?" Finn asked. Finn was definitely staring to get annoyed that he actually had to explain himself.
Kurt thought about the best way to answer that. There was a good reason why they were always at the Kurt's house, but based on the way Finn was treating Blaine, they didn't think it was the best idea to give the details. "IS there a problem with us always being here?" Kurt asked.
"I have no problem with you being here, Kurt. You live here. But, Blaine is always here. Seriously, aren't you guys together enough at school? Especially now that he transferred and joined our glee club," Finn explained.
The way Finn emphasized "our glee club" didn't sit right with Kurt. "Really, Finn? What do you mean our glee club? Blaine is part of New Directions. He transferred. Big deal. Why are you being such a jerk about it?"
"Because he doesn't get it, Kurt."
Blaine finally spoke up. "What don't I get? I thought I was part of this group."
"You need to realize that New Directions is not the Warblers. McKinley isn't your fancy private school. You aren't everything. This is a team, not the Blaine Anderson show."
"I never –" Blaine started, but he was cut off by an angry Finn.
"Bull shit. You came to McKinley, joined New Directions, and expect us to treat you like the Warblers did. Well guess what? I'm not. Everyone else may, but I won't. Just because you went to some fancy private school and have parents who are rich and give you anything you want doesn't mean you are better than any of us."
Kurt could feel Blaine tense up beside him, but Blaine didn't say anything.
"Finn. You are being completely unreasonable," Kurt said.
"Don't stick up for him, Kurt."
"Finn—"
"No, Kurt. Just listen –"
"Stop," Blaine said, interrupting Kurt and Finn. "Just stop. Finn, I'm sorry for anything I may have done to offend you. That was never my intention. But, I thought the transfer itself would be enough to show you that I am dedicated to New Directions. Clearly, it didn't. You can have your glee club back. I quit. Good luck at Sectionals."
"Blaine –"
"Kurt. I'll talk to you later," Blaine said before turning around and walking out of the house. Kurt shot a quick glare at Finn before running out of the house after Blaine.
Blaine made it to his car, opened it, and got in before he couldn't hold in the tears anymore.
Kurt saw Blaine get in his car, knowing that Blaine was in no condition to drive. Kurt quickly ran over to the driver's side and yanked the door open. He knew Blaine was upset and pissed off, but he didn't expect his boyfriend to be completely sobbing. This was the first time Kurt had ever saw Blaine completely break down. "Oh my God. Come here," Kurt said while bending down to hug Blaine, who was still sitting inside the car. They stayed like that with Kurt whispering into Blaine's ear until Burt and Carole came home.
Burt and Carole got out of their car and were definitely confused. Blaine was trying to stop himself from crying as they came over and Burt asked, "What's going on?"
"Finn is being completely and unreasonably rude to Blaine and now Blaine quit glee club," Kurt explained.
Burt and Carole both sighed and Carole immediately went inside to talk to Finn. "I'll go talk to him. Why don't you boys come inside? It's got to be cold out here."
"I'd love to, dad, but I really don't think that being in the same room as Finn is a good idea right now."
"Just this once, you guys can go upstairs."
"Really?" Kurt asked. He really couldn't believe his dad was giving him and Blaine permission to go upstairs. It would have been awesome if it weren't for the circumstances.
"Thank you."
Burt nodded and headed inside to talk to Finn, leaving Kurt and Blaine. Kurt eased Blaine out of the car with Blaine was heavily leaning on Kurt for support. Kurt and Blaine slowly made their way in the house and up to Kurt's room.
They finally made it upstairs and settled down in Kurt's bed. They sat there in silence for a while until Blaine said, "Why does Finn feel that it is ok to make all of these assumptions about me?"
"I don't know, Blaine. I really don't."
"It's just that he thinks my life is perfect because my parents are rich."
"Blaine, he doesn't know about your parents and how they act."
"But it's not ok. He just can't make up assumptions about people."
"He doesn't know about your parents or anything that happened before Dalton."
"That shouldn't matter!" Blaine yelled as he jumped off the bed. "The point is that he preaches about being a team and then jumps down my throat and makes me feel like crap. And I don't eve know why!"
"Blaine, I realize that you are upset, but you really need to calm down."
Blaine knew Kurt was right. Blaine took a deep breath and sat back down on the bed. Kurt immediately moved over to Blaine and wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist. "It's going to be ok. It'll all work out in the end."
"How do you know that?" Blaine asked.
"Just trust me, ok?"
Blaine leaned back into Kurt and Kurt took Blaine's answer to be a yes. The boys got into a more comfortable position and eventually fell asleep.
Burt must have been feeling very kind because when Kurt and Blaine woke up they realized it was morning. Quietly, they got out of bed and went downstairs where Burt and Carole were already up. "Morning boys," Burt said.
"Good morning, dad," Kurt said.
"Good morning," Blaine said as he yawned.
"I know that this is probably nor what you want to talk about right away in the morning, but Carole and I talked to Finn last night," Burt explained.
Blaine tensed up. He knew that it had to be discussed, but that didn't mean he actually wanted to discuss it.
"And?" Kurt asked.
"Well, that's it. We talked to him, but now it's your turn seeing as his issues lie with Blaine."
"Ok. We'll talk to him this morning, if that's ok with you, Blaine? I don't know about you, but I'd rather not put it off," Kurt said. Blaine just nodded.
"Ok. Blaine, are you doing ok?" Burt asked.
Blaine just shrugged his shoulders. Honestly, he wasn't quite sure how he was feeling, but he did know that he had to talk to Finn soon.
Thankfully though, they didn't have to wait long because less than a half hour later, Finn came stumbling into the kitchen. Burt and Carole considerately excused themselves from the kitchen so the boys could talk.
Kurt was the first to speak up. "Finn, we really need to talk."
"Look –" Finn started.
"Finn, just be quiet for a few minutes," Kurt said, anger rising.
Finn shut his mouth and looked between Kurt and Blaine waiting for one of them to start talking.
"Look, Finn," Blaine said. "The way you have been treating me is not ok. You have absolutely no right to make assumptions about me and my life, just as I have no right to make any type of assumptions about yours. I thought we had become friends over the summer and that you would be ok with me transferring to McKinley and joining New Directions. I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you, but if I did, please just talk to me about it instead of constantly beating me down in glee club."
"I'm not making assumptions about your life –" Finn started.
"Yes you are –"
"There you go again. Trying to tell me that these things aren't true and –"
"JUST STOP!" Blaine yelled. "I tried to talk about this with you reasonably, but clearly that's not going to happen. I'm done." Blaine turned around and stormed out of the room and out of the house.
Kurt was already mad at Finn after everything that happened yesterday, but now Kurt was furious. "I cannot believe you."
"Kurt, I –"
"For once in your life would you use your brain? Blaine did nothing wrong, you are just attacking him for no reason. He just wants to talk to you and you won't do that. You can't blame him. If you would maybe just stop and listen for once in your life, maybe Blaine would still be here. And frankly, I don't blame him for leaving."
Finn just stood there in shock of what Kurt just said. Kurt had never once raised his voice, and that made it even scarier.
Kurt turned to leave the room, but turned around and said, "And Finn?"
"Yeah?"
"You better figure out a way to fix this. And to put it into terms that you can understand, I wouldn't be surprised if Blaine quit glee and we're already short handed."
