AN: I'm sorry this chapter took longer than the others to get out. This site was being weird and then my internet connection was down. This chapter is a little bit choppy, I think, so sorry in advance. I do try to make things as smooth as possible but it is challenging. I got so many reviews/favorites on this fic and it makes me happy! (: Just thought you should know. And also, the mood changes suddenly in this chapter, I'm not proud of it, but I wrote this chapter over a couple of days, my mood was drastically different every one of those days, so sorry about that! I hope you enjoy this chapter! (:
The rain was pouring down outside. It was another lonely night filled with nightmares and lost love. Kurt sat in the middle of the sidewalk, drenched with rain. His hair was dripping into his face and Kurt couldn't tell what part of the wetness on his cheeks was rain and what part were tears. He gasped for breath, the broken sobs controlling him. Thunder crackled around him but he made no attempt to go inside. He clutched his knees closer to his chest, trying to hold in the pieces of his heart.
It had been two weeks since Kurt had caught his one love cheating on him. Anyone could see that Kurt was still absolutely heartbroken. Even though Blaine had confessed his love profusely to Kurt, he just didn't have the strength to take Blaine back. After all, Blaine had demolished Kurt's trust. What is a relationship without trust? Hardly anything worth suffering for.
Kurt just couldn't seem to grasp reality. To him, he was stuck in a horrible nightmare, just waiting to wake up from the images that haunted him. If it was even possible, the rain poured even harder than before. Thunder clapped and Kurt vaguely registered a bright flash of lightning in the distance. Why me? Kurt thought sadly. Why is it always the one who loves the hardest that gets hurt the most? I put out all of myself, my emotions, my love to Blaine and he cheated on me. How could he care about me if he cheated? I wish I could go back... change everything. Maybe it would be better if I had never even met... him.
Kurt was struck with a painful stab in the chest. He clutched his chest and cried harder, missing Blaine so much it physically hurt.
Just as Kurt thought he was never going to be whole again he looked up and saw a hand reaching down to help him out of the freezing rain.
Kurt reached up and grabbed the warm hand, happy that someone cared enough to help him out of his misery. When Kurt looked up and saw the face attached to the hand, he staggered back. What? No. There's no way he came here to save me...
"I know it doesn't make sense for me to be here... but let me explain... Let's go to my dorm and get you cleaned up, okay?" The face connected to the sweet voice smiled at Kurt encouragingly and wrapped a comforting arm around Kurt's shoulders as he led him to the dorms.
Kurt leaned into the boy, happy to finally be in a warm embrace. They were both soaking wet but the situation made Kurt's heart swell. Someone had cared enough to go out into the pouring rain to help the small, broken boy. That meant so much to Kurt.
It should have crushed Kurt's already broken heart to be in this room with him. Surprisingly, it did the opposite. Kurt felt strangely at peace and calm. More calm than he had felt since that absolutely dreadful day. The two boys had stopped quickly at Kurt's room to gather some dry clothes for Kurt to change into. Thankfully, Blaine wasn't in the room when the two boys got there. Blaine and Kurt still roomed together, but they did their best to avoid each other.
Kurt sat in the unfamiliar dorm and looked up at the blonde boy. Kurt had wide innocent eyes as he asked the boy, "Why did you come out in the pouring rain for me?"
"I made a mistake, Kurt. I couldn't see it then, but I know that now. What I did was wrong, so wrong. I thought I loved Blaine. I truly didn't want you to get hurt, I just wanted to be with the guy I thought I loved" the boy finally met Kurt's eyes. "You know how Blaine is... he has this charisma that just pulls you in. You can't get out until something truly awful happens. That something was for me was being the other man. I've never felt so guilty in my entire life. It kills me to know that your heart is shattered and it's all... my... fault..." he was whispering now, getting too choked up to speak.
"Kurt- when I saw you outside. I knew this was the exact moment when I could try to make things right. I should have never agreed to Blaine's advances... but you know how he is... he draws you in."
A faint smile ghosted at Kurt's lips for the first time in two weeks.
"Josh..." Kurt paused to think about how he wanted to continue. "I understand. I know the feeling you get when Blaine makes you feel wanted. It feels like you could do anything! So I understand how you got sucked under his spell. That doesn't make what you did okay... at all. I finally found someone who I could love and you ruined it!" Josh looked surprised at Kurt's outburst. He tried to comfort Kurt by placing his hand on the smaller boy's shoulder. "I know I did. I suck."
Kurt dropped his head into his hands and thought for a moment. His head snapped up a minute later and Kurt had an excited look on his face. "You hurt me, but I think I have a way to fix this." An evil smirk spread across Kurt's face. "You have to help me show Blaine how hurt I am- was. I think it's time Kurt got a bad streak!"
/-/-/-/
Blaine missed Kurt. Yes, they did room together, but ever since Blaine cheated on Kurt, they weren't exactly on speaking terms. And quite frankly, Blaine was getting annoyed. It had been two weeks since the incident. Two weeks of begging, pleading, and groveling at Kurt's feet and Kurt didn't show any sign of forgiving Blaine. Blaine just wanted that boy back in his arms and he was getting impatient about it! Blaine realized that what he did was wrong, but if Kurt really loved him he would forgive him, right? Wrong. Blaine thought. You're a bitch, Blaine and you know it. You're getting mad at Kurt for not taking you back after you cheated on him. That's pretty messed up. Blaine had so many conflicting emotions; he just didn't know what do with himself.
/-/-/-/
Josh starred in shock at Kurt. Kurt wants to be a bad boy? What? Kurt looked at Josh expectantly. "So, what do you think?"
The brown eyed boy considered that for a minute before he replied, "I think that's brilliant, Kurt! You could make Blaine feel like shit after what he did to you! I have so many great ideas that we can put into action! But first, you're gonna need to be seductive, Kurt!"
Kurt grinned slyly. "I can do that. No problem. What should we do first?"
"Great! Well, I've noticed Dylan drooling every time he sees you. Let's start with some harmless, flirting, okay?" Kurt nodded enthusiastically. "That would make Blaine so jealous! ...But the thing is, I've never really flirted before... Maybe we could practice?" He looked down as he said this, embarrassed to even have to say this. "There just weren't any openly gay guys at my old school for me to flirt with."
Josh understood completely. Kurt was adorable, he hardly thought he needed practice but agreed to it anyway.
"Okay, Kurt. Pretend I'm Dylan and work your magic on me!"
Kurt blushed but dutifully obeyed. "Hey there" Kurt said in a sultry voice followed by a wink. "You're cute." Kurt was now playfully running his hand down Josh's arm. "I heard you had a thing for me and I was wondering if you wanted to go to a party with me this weekend." Kurt ruffled Josh's hair and smiled charmingly.
"How was that? Terrible? God, I know I sucked." Kurt crossed his arms across his chest uncomfortably.
"What? No Kurt, that was amazing! Now you just need to flirt with every guy in sight!" Kurt smiled appreciatively and squeezed Josh's hand. "Thanks, Josh. You rock" Kurt turned and flounced out of the room, leaving Josh starring open-mouthed at the doorway.
/-/-/-/
The next day in Warblers practice Kurt was determined to make Blaine feel awful. He pranced over to where Dylan was sitting and did exactly what he practiced with Josh. He smiled, laughed, touched his arm, and ruffled his hair, all the while asking him to join himself at a party. Dylan just smiled dreamily, not quite sure this was happening. He had been in love with Kurt for months and Kurt finally took notice!
Blaine, on the other hand, was not so happy. He looked at Kurt getting all friendly with another guy and scowled. It especially stung because everyone happened to know that Dylan was gay. It was also no secret that he was in love with Kurt. Well isn't this just great... Kurt's over there getting his flirt on with some whore and I'm stuck here watching. I'm supposed to be his boyfriend! Why is he over there flirting with that guy?
Kurt leaned over and whispered in Dylan's ear, "I'll see you tonight at 7." Dylan nodded and watched as Kurt walked saucily out of the room.
While all of this was going on Josh just stared at Kurt. He was mesmerized by the way Kurt nonchalantly pushed his hair out of his eyes. His smile was sweet like candy. He loved the way when Kurt wore casual clothes they seemed to hug very part of his body perfectly.
"Dude, what's up? You look like you just stepped off a rainbow!" Josh was suddenly jerked out of his thoughts by Nick's voice. "You've been staring off into space for like ten minutes! Is there something I should know about?"
Josh shook his head and brushed off Nick's comment. He couldn't have been that distracted by Kurt... could he?
/-/-/-/
Kurt was in his room getting ready to go clubbing with josh and Dylan when Blaine walked into the room with a scowl etched into his face. He took one look at Kurt's skin tight pants and fitted shirt and almost fainted.
"Blaine, are you okay? You look kind of ill..."
Blaine moved his gaze away from the perfect curve of Kurt's hip to his actual eyes. "What? Oh no. I'm fine just distracted. Are you doing something tonight?" Blaine asked as he gestured to Kurt's get up.
"Yeah", Kurt said with a smile. "I'm going out with some friends. We're going to the new club that opened like half an hour away"
"Oh, that's nice" Blaine said with a tight smile and walked to his closet.
Kurt finished primping and walked towards the door. "Bye, Blaine"
Blaine swore he detected sadness in Kurt's voice but it was so faint that Blaine could have very well made it up. Blaine frowned and then an idea came to him. Get ready, Blainey Boy. You're about to go clubbing.
/-/-/-/
Five drinks later, Kurt was drunkenly standing on a table in the club. "I LIKE BOYS!" Kurt shouted over the music as he danced around like a crazy drunk. He grabbed Josh and started grinding with him. "Hiiii, Joshie. I don't wanna dance with Dylan. He's no fun." Kurt pouted and looked and looked at the boy sitting at a table, nursing a Sprite.
Josh grinned at Kurt. He loved the ways their bodies were moving together. To Josh, they fit perfectly together as they danced with such intensity. Kurt was smiling and looked truly estatic. Josh was also smiling, loving the way that Kurt was looking at him. He didn't know when it happened, but he found himself falling for Kurt and all his quirky ways. ever since that night in Josh's room, he just couldn't get Kurt out of his mind.
Blaine walked into the club and immediately saw a drunken Kurt dancing with his arms over his head. Blaine was shocked at how happy Kurt looked and then he noticed who Kurt was dancing with. He seethed as he saw that Kurt was grinding on Josh. So Kurt can forgive Josh but not me? God, this is messed up. Blaine sauntered over to Kurt and Josh and tapped Kurt on the shoulder. Kurt's eyes were closed, enjoying his moment of closeness with Josh. "Go away, Dylan. I don't like you"
"I'm not Dylan" Blaine said firmly and Kurt's eyes fluttered open.
"It's Blaaiiinneee! My kind-of-boyfran! I think we're on a break now though." Kurt looked deeply confused and Josh wrapped his arms protectively around Kurt's waist. "What do you want, Blaine? Kurt is finally happy. Let him have one night out without breaking his heart , please." Josh pleaded with Blaine, trying to get him to leave Kurt alone.
"Nooo, Joshh. I want Blainey to stay heree and watch meee." Kurt then proceeded to go around and dance to five different songs with seven different guys. Blaine and Josh watched Kurt with wide eyed horror as Kurt flirted and danced with guys neither of them knew. Blaine hated to admit it, but he was shattered. His heart ached and his eyes stung with unshed tears. He put a hand on Josh's shoulder and said to him, "Do you see how he's dancing with them! It's like he doesn't even care about me- Like he never even loved m-" Blaine choked on his words and he turned to leave. Josh, who was completely sober, grabbed Blaine's wrist. "I'll take care of him for you." Blaine nodded a thanks, too choked up to speak, and practically ran to the door, tears streaming freely down his face. He whispered to himself, "I actually thought he still loved me..."
/-/-/-/
Josh grabbed Kurt by the waist and attempted to pull him out of the club. "Noooo, Josh! I don't want to goooo! I'm having fun without Blaine for the first time!" Kurt swiveled his hips and tried to get Josh to dance with him once again.
"I'm glad to hear that, Kurt, but we really need to get you back to your dorm. You're drunk." Josh pulled on Kurt and he reluctantly agreed to go with Josh, rapidly becoming tired. Josh tucked Kurt into the passenger seat of his car and drove them back to Dalton. He carried Kurt into the building because Kurt was so uncoordinated. Kurt whined when Josh set him down to open Kurt's door. They walked into the room to find Blaine sound asleep on his bed. His eyes were red and puff so Josh figured that he had been crying. He picked Kurt up and set him down on his bed. He helped Kurt dress himself for bed because Kurt was too drunk to do anything but fumble with the buttons on his jeans. Josh laid Kurt down on the bed and tucked him in. "Good night, Kurt. You're going to have one hell of a hangover tomorrow..."
"Noooo, Joshie. Stay with me I don't want to be alone..." Kurt whimpered softly so Josh laid down beside Kurt and pulled the brunette into his arms. "i'm only dong this because you're drunk" Josh whispered into Kurt's hair.
"That's okay... I just couldn't bear to be alone with Blaine again." Tears trickled down Kurt's cheeks and Josh wiped them away with his thumb. "It's going to be okay, Kurt... I promise"
He repeated those last words as a mantra until Kurt fell asleep in his arms.
/-/-/-/
Blaine awoke in the morning to see Kurt and Josh wrapped up in each other on the bed across the room from him. Blaine shut his eyes against the burning of tears. He remembered when he and Kurt used to sleep like that. His heart hurt so much. He knew right then that he needed to be with, Kurt. And only Kurt. Kurt was the only one he would ever love. He couldn't give up now. Blaine walked over to Kurt and placed a chaste kiss on his forehead. Kurt stirred and his eyes fluttered open. "Blaine? Why did you just...?" He trailed off his sentence and Blaine looked at him through tear filled eyes. "Because I love you. And it breaks my heart to see you here like this..." Blaine motioned to Josh, who was slowly waking up.
Kurt detangled himself from Josh and ran to the bathroom. Josh woke up fully when he heard the sound of Kurt retching. He ran to go see if he was okay. Kurt's head was pounding and he felt like hell. He definitely couldn't deal with his feelings for Blaine now.
/-/-/-/
Josh and Blaine worked together to take care of Kurt all day. Kurt was never any good at holding his alcohol so he needed a lot of pampering throughout the day. Not that he minded. Once he was finally feeling better he decided to make Josh and Blaine leave him alone. He sat in his room reflecting on his failed attempt at being a bad boy. All he wanted to do was forget Blaine. He wanted to take away the hurt that he felt every time he looked at Blaine or heard his voice. It killed him not to be with Blaine anymore.
Kurt wandered out into the hallway to look for Blaine and he found him leaning against the doorway to Josh's room, talking to Josh.
"I know. I know he was drunk but my heart still hurts. He just acted like he didn't even love me anymore." Kurt could tell Blaine was crying by the sound of his voice. "I just hate what we did to him! I'd do anything to change it- to take it back. I'd do anything for Kurt. I'd do anything to get him back." Kurt felt the warm tears on his cheeks as he approached Blaine.
"Blaine"
Blaine turned around, startled. "Kurt! When did you-"
Blaine was cut of by Kurt throwing himself into Blaine's arms and sobbing heartbreakingly. "I miss you, Blaine. I miss you so so much. I can't breathe without you. I need you to be with me but I don't know if I can trust you anymore..."
Blaine looked lovingly at the boy in his arms. "Kurt, Baby. I swear to you that I will never ever do anything like that again in my entire life. I love you too much to ever let anything come between us again."
Kurt collapsed into Blaine's arms, his knees giving out. He sobbed into Blaine's chest, letting out all of his pent up emotions.
Blaine tilted Kurt's face up to his own and kissed him. "I love you more than anything. Don't you ever forget that." Kurt smiled and said, "I love you too, Blaine. I missed you"
The coupled hugged for a long time, trying to memorize the way if felt in each others' arms.
They may not always be a perfect couple, but for now they were happy just to be together.
/-/-/-/
There always seems to be one person in a happy situation that is always hurt. Josh knew he made a mistake with Blaine and felt absolutely terrible that he liked Kurt now. He hated himself for loving Kurt. It was so wrong. Especially because he just got back with Blaine. Josh knew that everything was never perfect in a relationship. If Kurt ever ended up broken again he would be right there waiting to put the pieces back together again.
AN: So tadaa, Klaine is together again. I know I probably should've waited longer for them to get together again but I just felt like this was right... Kinda. Thank you to everyone who reviewed!
