Kurt was sitting on the couch. He couldn't think, speak, and could barely breathe. Each breath was like he was one step closer to death. It was like he had completely checked out after his heart shattered deep within his chest. No tears fell from his eyes. No sobs came from his throat. He was just gone. He did not move. He did not blink. In one moment everything was taken from him. The person he had loved had destroyed his world.
Finn stood and watched as Blaine told Kurt everything. Blaine wasn't going to show him the things on his phone but Finn forced him. Finn wanted Kurt to know everything that had gone on between Blaine and Puck. It wasn't the affair that had ruined things. It was how Blaine looked in the photos of him and Puck. He had love in his eyes in the first few. Then Kurt saw something else. It was more animalistic. He could tell he was using Puck so that he could just have another person to screw. Kurt saw nothing but love for Blaine in Puck's eyes in every single picture. He knew from the texts that Puck wanted Blaine to confess to the affair and just be with him. Kurt knew that Puck while guilty of being a part of the affair wanted to do the right thing, but Blaine wouldn't let him.
"Kurt, please say something." Blaine's voice was his same sweet self. Kurt knew this was a lie, the Blaine he knew was long gone. He was now a distant memory.
"I forgot to get cilantro for the chicken. I need to go back to the store. When I get back you won't be here anymore." Kurt's voice is monotone as he stands to his feet. The lights are still on but no one is home. Finn cuts the oven off and walks over to his brother. He can't help but hurt for him. He can feel every bit of pain Kurt should be feeling, but he knows that the severity of the pain has caused his brother to become numb.
"Come on Kurt I'll go with you." Finn says wrapping an arm around Kurt.
"Kurt I…." Blaine tries to speak, but Finn cuts him off.
"He said when he gets back you won't be here, and trust me when I say this, you'd better not be here when we get back. So get your crap and get out of our apartment." Finn's voice is projecting what he thinks Kurt really wants to say to Blaine. Finn, himself wants to beat the living crap of Blaine, but his focus is on making sure that Kurt is ok.
The two boys leave and Blaine is left sitting on the coffee table alone. He buries his face in his hands and weeps over the loss of his first love. He gathers his things and packs them quickly, knowing full well Finn will deliver on any threat he makes. He's gone within less than two hours and not a trace of his existence can be found within the apartment, save for a letter he wrote quickly before putting the last box into his car. He drove off into the night not knowing where he should go. He'd hurt Puck, but the guy was so in love with him that he could probably move in with him until he found something better, or someone better.
….
Sam found Puck at the mall. Puck played the cut on his forehead as him tripping over his own two feet trying to run after Blaine. In Puck's mind he thought Sam was buying everything he said. He didn't want Sam to hate Blaine. He wanted Blaine to be happy, even if he wasn't the person Blaine chose. He hoped that someday Kurt would forgive him for what he'd done and he hoped that he'd forgive Blaine too. Blaine deserved a guy like Kurt, he knew who he was and what he wanted out of life. All Puck knew was that he wanted Blaine back. He wanted the guy he fell in love with. Sam just sits there holding his friend as they sit in Puck's car.
"I think I'm gonna go home now Sam. I just need to sleep." Puck's voice is rough from all the crying he's done. He's never liked crying in front of other people, especially his friends, but he was willing to make the exception this time. He remembered the first time he cried in front of Blaine. They'd just hooked up and Blaine was so loving and gentle with him that he began to feel like he was loved. It was like he was finally worthy of having someone in his life that wanted him for him, and so he broke down not knowing how to handle that emotion. That was also the first time that Blaine had told Puck he loved him.
"Ok, but I'm gonna follow you in my car. I don't want to see you getting hurt." Sam says giving Puck a tighter hug.
"You're a good friend Sammy. Finn's lucky to have you." He says honestly.
"Thanks Puck, that means a lot." Sam's goofy grin makes Puck smile.
"Maybe someday I'll have what you two have." He says taking his eyes off of his friend.
"You will, it just takes time and patience. The right guy is out there for you." Sam kisses Puck on the cheek and he can see his friend blush.
Sam follows Puck back to his apartment. He walks Puck inside and stays until Puck falls asleep. Sam leaves and drives home. He checks his phone and sees a text from Finn. He checks it at the red light.
KURT BROKE UP WITH BLAINE,
GOT HIM OUT OF THE APT FOR A WHILE.
BE HOME SOON. LOVE YOU!
Sam checks and the light is still red. So he replies quickly.
HAD TO TAKE CARE OF PUCK.
I THINK BLAINE MAY BE MORE ABUSIVE THAN WE KNOW.
GOTTA FIND A NEW BEST MAN!
The light turns green and Sam speeds off towards home.
…..
"Finn, I'm ok now, so you can go home. I'll take a cab. Go get a Pizza and have a nice night in with Sam, someone in our apartment ought to be in a happy relationship, might as well be the engaged couple." Kurt says trying to cope with the loss of his boyfriend.
"Kurt, I don't think you should be alone." Finn says as he and Kurt turn down a grocery aisle.
"Finn, I've got a ride home. I'm not going to do anything stupid. I just need to clear my head, now go be with Sam." Kurt's demeanor has changed dramatically, although Finn knows its nothing more than a façade. Still he complies with his brother's wish.
"Fine, I'll go home and eat pizza with Sam, but you have to promise me that you'll call me when you're coming home, or if you leave the store." Finn sees the look Kurt is giving him. "I…I just want you to know that I'm here for you. You're my brother and I love you Kurt. I don't like seeing you get hurt like this."
Kurt hugs Finn quickly. "Finn I'll be alright tonight. I just don't want to cry right now. I just want to wrap my head around how all of this happened and the only way I can do that is to shop, and since the mall is closed, Walmart is all I have left."
Finn smiles and Kurt ushers him out of the store. He drives home and finds Sam waiting on him. Sam runs over and hugs his fiancé tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Whoah, Sam, are you ok?" Finn asks holding the man he loves.
"I just never thought something like that would happen to them. They just seemed so perfect together. I don't know what I'd do if that were us." Sam's eyes begin to well up, but Finn wipes the building tears away.
"That will never be us. Because we don't cheat on each other, sure we've kissed and hooked up with other people on occasion, but it was only with people on our Glists. Sam you know I love you right?" Finn says with a smile.
"I love you more." Sam whispers as he rests his head on Finn's chest.
Finn loved the way they told each other that they loved each other. It was different and unique. It had started one night after Finn had first told Sam he loved him, after the rape, but before the cancer. From that point on it was their special thing. Nothing would ever come between them. Their love was forever. Finn knew this because, though he had loved in the past, he'd never loved anyone more than he loved Sam.
…..
Puck wakes up to a knock at his door. The knock is hard and loud, as well as frantic and pleading. He opens the door to see a sad Blaine standing before him holding a suitcase. "Its over between me and Kurt. He ended it, but as he was ending it, all I could think about was how badly I'd messed things up with you. Noah, I love you. I don't want anyone else. I'm sorry that it took me so long to realize it. Can I please have one more chance, baby?"
Blaine knew exactly what to say to make Puck melt into his words. Puck wanted to yell at Blaine for how he'd treated him, but he could see sincerity in Blaine's dazzling eyes. He steps aside and lets Blaine into the one room apartment.
"Thank you." Blaine says stopping in the doorway, giving Puck a quick kiss before putting his stuff down.
The second Blaine's bag hits the ground Puck is on him like a dog on a bone. He kisses him passionately. He's so overcome with happiness he wants nothing more than to celebrate with Blaine. They can finally be the couple he wants them to be. He kisses his way down Blaine's chest and stomach, before freeing and devouring Blaine's cock. Blaine doesn't last long and he comes within seconds. Puck doesn't care that it was a short lived moment, all he cares about is that he made Blaine feel good. Blaine proclaims that he's tired and doesn't reciprocate for Puck.
Blaine climbs under the covers and Puck gets in next to him. He cradles his body into Blaine's side. Blaine drops an arm over Puck's shoulder and Puck falls asleep quickly.
God I can't believe I have to put up with this Lima Loser. This better be a temporary thing. Blaine thinks to himself before falling asleep.
