(Ok guys sorry that it has taken so long to get this chapter out but there have been things in my life that have unfortunately taken precedence over this. Now that that is over, onto what I want to say about this chapter. This chapter is what I think many of you have been waiting for. We finally see what exactly Blaine did. Now I am not going to spoil it here in my note but please note that I am fairly sure that it has been done by other writers and I apologize to those authors if that is the case but it is what I am fairly sure that Blaine would have done and not what they alluded to in the show. Speaking of the show was anyone else annoyed with the Klaine cliffy?)

The car ride passed in silence, both boys content to just to be together again. Kurt sat in the car stealing glances at Blaine out of the corner of his eye and noticed how much he had changed since he had last seen him. The biggest thing that he noticed was that he seemed more buff. This worried Kurt since that meant that he had been doing a lot of boxing. He was also afraid of what Blaine was going to tell him during their talk.
Blaine spent the drive in awe of his boyfriend. His heart soared at the fact that he could call him his again. He wanted to look at the older man but knew that Kurt would yell at him for not paying attention to the road if he did. But that didn't mean that he hadn't spent the entire practice more than slightly distracted watching Kurt take command of the stage each time he was on it performing. He didn't want to relive the night that he had ruined everything but he knew that Kurt needed this if he was going to trust him again.
Soon the car ride was over and the two young men exited the car. Kurt noticed that Blaine's parent's cars weren't in the driveway immediately. Blaine ever the gentleman opened the door and let Kurt enter before him. He then put Kurt's and his own coats in the hall closet and said nervously,
"Make yourself at home; there is water in the fridge. I need to go check something upstairs." Kurt nodded in agreement and watched Blaine head up to his room. He wandered into the kitchen and on his way to the fridge he noticed the note from Blaine's parents. Kurt shook his head sadly wishing once again that Blaine had better understanding parents. He grabbed two bottles of water from the fridge and wandered back into the entranceway to wait for Blaine not sure where he would want to have this conversation.
Blaine meanwhile was checking his bank account to see just how much money had been deposited into his account because it was always a sign of how long his parents were going to be gone this time. He had learned a long time before that the notes they left may say that they would be gone a certain amount of time but they were almost always gone longer. He shook his head noticing that his parents had deposited about 3500 dollars into his account. He decided to send his mother a quick text asking why so much had been left in his account.
To mom: I just checked my bank account and noticed how much you left. May I ask how long you are going to really be gone this time?
He sent the text and headed back downstairs knowing that it would be some time before she responded. He gave Kurt a small smile seeing him holding the two bottles of water.
"You could have sat down you know." He told him with a small chuckle. Kurt gave a smile back and said,
"I wasn't sure where you would want to talk. I mean I know from experience that you don't like to spend too much time down here but I wasn't sure that you would want me upstairs in your room since we just got back together and I want to make this as easy for you as possible." Blaine grinned before grabbing Kurt's hands and leading him upstairs and into his room. He sat in his computer chair and gestured for Kurt to sit wherever he liked. Kurt gave a sly grin before sitting in Blaine's lap. Blaine looked startled but relaxed almost immediately.
"Now why don't you start with what led to you doing whatever it is you did. I know you Blaine you love me and you wouldn't just cheat on me." Kurt told him softly worried that there was a major problem with him. Blaine gave a sigh and started to speak.
"OK but you have to promise me that no matter what I say you will wait till I finish before you say anything." Kurt nodded his agreement and Blaine gave him a hug and started to speak again.
"You know that while I am the one who told you to go to New York that it was really hard for me to do, but I did it knowing that you are too big for Ohio. At first it was great we talked so often and skyped frequently. But then you got the internship and Kurt while I am so proud of you for getting it you started skipping our Skype dates and ignoring my phone calls, or if you did answer you commandeered the conversation and once you ignored my question about what bowtie I should wear. Then the night came that I won class president, you didn't answer my call and kept sending it to voicemail. The next day you called me back but hung up before I could tell you that I loved you."
Here Blaine paused but Kurt knew that he wasn't done so he didn't say anything yet. But he was in turmoil because he realized that no matter what Blaine was going to tell him next he was just as much at fault as Blaine. He knew that Blaine needed to hear that he was loved and that him not giving Blaine the chance to tell him that had probably been the last straw for Blaine. He was so lost in his thoughts that he almost missed Blaine start to speak again.
"It was a random guy on Facebook. His name was Eli. He had started talking to me on there on day and I figured he might make a good friend. That day he asked if I wanted to go to his house and I was so lost and feeling like you had moved on from me that I agreed. I made it to his door and knocked but when he answered and I realized what I was doing I started to cry and left. I booked the first flight to New York that I could get and you know the rest."
Kurt shook his head a few times to try and register what he had just heard. He took a deep breath and stood up. Blaine stared at him trying to figure out what he was thinking. Kurt started to pace and started to speak.
"Let me get this right you in a moment of serious loneliness that was completely my fault said yes to going over to some guy's house but when you got there you realized what you were doing was wrong and LEFT before you actually did anything and then flew to New York to tell me that you cheated and me being the ass that I can be didn't want to hear what happened and broke us up." He stopped pacing and looked at Blaine with a blank stare.
"You got the parts about me right but your wrong when you say that it was your fault and that you are an ass." Blaine said softly looking down at the floor, "To me what I did was cheating on the love of my life and you had nothing to do with my actions." Kurt gave a small smile and knelt on the floor in front of Blaine. He reached out and gently lifted Blaine's head so that he could look at Blaine while he spoke.
"Blaine this is my fault. I know you; I know how lonely you get in this house. Your parents are hardly ever home and when they are home they either ignore you or try and get you to be something that you aren't. Blaine I never meant to make you feel like I was leaving you behind but you know how easily excited I get. I realize now that I have been a horrible boyfriend to you and I will spend a very long time trying to make up for it. And I want you to know that I now consider you and me never broken up in the first place." Blaine started to tear up and collapsed in Kurt's arms and started to sob.
Kurt rubbed Blaine's back knowing that the younger man needed this. After a few minutes Blaine pulled away and smiled at Kurt gratefully. Kurt smiled back and wiped the few stray tears from Blaine's face. Kurt stood up and held out a hand to Blaine to help him up. Blaine accepted it and stood staring at Kurt lovingly. The moment was ruined by the ringing of Blaine's phone. Blaine sighed and grabbed his phone looking at the caller id. He saw that it was his mom and answered.
"Hello?"
"Blaine I got your text and decided that I would call you. You know how I hate text messaging." His mother replied.
"Of course mom but you have to admit I was well within my right to ask how long you will be gone. Your note said a week but you and I both know that it will be much longer than that since you deposited so much into it." He replied starting to get upset. Kurt noticed this and started to rub his back to try and sooth him. Blaine gave a small smile to him for it and listened to what his mother had to say.
"Your father and I are going to be attending to business this week and then we are going on a vacation. We don't actually know when we will be back but I will be depositing more money into your account before we become unreachable next week." Blaine pinched the bridge of his nose and said that he understood before exchanging goodbyes with his mom and hanging up the phone. Kurt stopped rubbing his back and said,
"I take it that they are going to be gone a while?"
"They don't know when they will be back but I can assume that it is going to be quite a while since they are giving me more money before becoming unreachable next week." He said slumping back into his chair. Kurt studied his boyfriend for a moment trying to think of a way to make him feel better when he came up with an idea. He pulled out his phone and hit the speed dial.
"Hello?" his dad answered.
"Hey dad it's me." He told him softly. Blaine looked up at him wondering what he was up too.
"Hey kiddo what's up?" Kurt quickly explained what was going on.
"Ok and I are guessing that you would like him to stay here while his parents are out of town." Kurt smiled and said yes to his dad knowing that his dad loved Blaine and wouldn't want him in the house all by himself.
"Well tell him to pack a bag and you guys get on home for dinner. Blaine has school in the morning and I don't want you both out late tonight." His dad said gruffly. Kurt agreed and said that they would see him soon before hanging up.
"Well love you are going to be staying at my dad's house till your parents get back and no we aren't taking no for an answer." Blaine smiled before grabbing a suitcase and started packing for his time away from the house. They soon left the house headed for the Hudmel home. They got to the house and Kurt grabbed Blaine's suitcase and shoulder bag and brought them inside where Carole was waiting.
"Welcome home boys. Kurt you take his things up to your room. Blaine, Burt is in the living room and wants to talk to you." She told them and they headed off. Blaine headed into the living room and sat on the couch.
"So whatever happened between you and my son is between the two of you but I want you to know that if you hurt him again you will see the shotgun come out you hear me?" Blaine agreed and they sat watching basketball waiting for Carole and Kurt to call them to dinner. Soon the Hudmels and Blaine were eating dinner and Kurt told his family everything that had been talked about. Finn said at the end,
"Wait he didn't actually cheat?"
Kurt shook his head and laughed as Finn sat shocked for a moment before going back to his food. After dinner Kurt and Blaine did the dishes while Finn headed upstairs. Carole shook her head and said,
"You boys know that he is now texting every one of your friends and telling them what you told us right?" The boys nodded ok with it. Kurt had a thought and grinned.
"Blaine dear." He said softly. Blaine gulped knowing that he was going to hate whatever came out of Kurt's mouth next.
"Yes Kurt?" He asked.
"You owe me nice date for making me think that you cheated on me next weekend. It had better be good to and you can't use it as part of Valentine's either." Kurt told him with a smile. Blaine nodded his head and thought that he was getting off lightly. The rest of the evening past quickly and the boys headed to bed knowing that the next day was going to be long.
(And that's it for this chapter. What do you think? I will try and get the next chapter out soon but I have a lot of stuff going on right now.)
