A/N: I wanted to get this chapter out before I started getting too busy. I unfortunately have a surgery coming up on Thursday (it's nothing too serious). This is probably the last chapter of the year. I hope you all have a fun and safe New Year! Please review and thank you all for the reviews and alerts that I've gotten.
Chapter Four- This Is The Part Where The End Starts
Charlie grabs Blaine's upper arm, pulling him outside the café and into the alleyway.
"Blaine Anderson I can't believe you!"
"What Charlie? What is your problem now?" Blaine put his arms out.
"What's my problem? What could possibly be my problem with my boyfriend who has been with his ex in my absence?"
"I'm not cheating on you if that's what you're thinking. We were in love a long time ago. "Were" is the keyword in that sentence," Blaine shook his head. "Fo is getting along-"
"Of course she is!" Charlie interrupted. "She doesn't care who you're with as long as it's not me. She only wants you and Kurt back together because she hates me."
"Maybe if you didn't have such a condescending attitude towards her you two would actually get along!"
"Are you taking her side?" Charlie cocked his head.
"This isn't about sides! There are no sides Charlie!" Blaine said exasperated.
"Blaine you need to choose. I refuse to share you with them. If you're going to be with me I need all of you."
As Charlie stormed off Blaine kicked a trashcan.
….
"LET THE RAIN FALL DOWN AND WAKE MY DREAMS!" Blaine sings drunkenly. "LET IT WAS AWAY MY SANITY!
Kurt and Folshi were under each one of Blaine's arms helping him walk down the hallway of his apartment complex.
"CAUSE I WANNA FEEL THE THUNDER I WANNA SCREAM!"
"Seriously Blaine? You're really singing Hilary Duff?" Folshi gave him a weird look.
"Blaine you need to be quiet. People are sleeping right now," Kurt said.
"Oh that's right," Blaine nodded. "Sorry people who are sleep!" He yelled.
They get to his apartment door, Folshi unlocks it, and they stumble in. Blaine makes his way to the couch and falls down.
"He is so lucky he doesn't have to work tomorrow," Kate says to Kurt. "I need to get back home before my roommate starts worrying about me," Kate says on her way out the door.
Blaine pulls up his pant leg and stares at his black and pink checkered socks. "My socks are totally awesome!"
"C'mon Blaine let's get you to bed," Kurt grabs Blaine's hands helping him to his feet.
They walk to Blaine's room. "Okay Kurt let's go to bed!" Blaine falls back onto the bed.
"Honey, no," Kurt shook his head. "I'm not going to bed with you. Let's get some pajamas for you."
Kurt through Blaine's drawers to take out a white shirt with a set of black and red pajama pants.
"Why aren't you staying Kurt?" Blaine whined. "Charlie can go to hell if that's what you're worried about. He shouldn't make me choose."
Blaine takes off his shirt but gets stuck halfway.
"Make you choose between what?" Kurt helped Blaine take off his shirt trying not to stare for too long.
He has a boyfriend; we're just friends, Kurt's inside voice repeated.
"Choose between having him as a boyfriend and having you and Katey as friends," he slurs. Blaine then takes off his pants and lies back down on the bed. "I just got you back into my life. I don't wanna lose you again," Blaine looks over at Kurt.
Kurt puts the clothes on top of the dresser and turns back to Blaine. "I don't wanna lose you either," he smiles sadly. "I'm gonna go."
"Noo!" Blaine grabs Kurt's arm and pulls him down.
Just friends, just friends, just friends! The voice inside Kurt's head grew louder. Kurt looked down at Blaine who is only in his boxers, his face growing red.
"Stay with me tonight." Blaine shifts so he and his friend lie side by side looking at each other. He puts his arms around Kurt's waist bringing him in closer and nuzzles his head into the other's shoulder.
"Blaine, I don't think this is a good idea," Kurt says unconvincingly.
"Hmm… Goodnight Kurt. I love you and I know you love me, cause you still wear the ring I gave you."
Kurt looked down at thing on his hand. After a few minutes of silence Kurt continues to look down at the sleeping boy. "Blaine? He half whispered, but got no reply. "I love you too."
….
Did I get hit by a truck last night? –Blaine
Ohhh the side effects of emotional drinking. Take pain reliever and go back to sleep (: –Fo
She puts her phone in her pocket and continues to look at the rack of clothes in front of her.
"How's our boy doing?" Kurt smirked from the opposite side of the rack.
"He'll be better later on. I still cannot believe that asshole would make Blaine choose like that."
"Can I ask you a question?" Kurt put back the shirt and looked up. "Why does Blaine stay with him?"
"Well, I think it's because he's just been lonely. Maybe he just wanted to know there's someone who cares for him romantically."
They walk out of the store arm in arm.
"Kurt, I know I haven't known you that long. There's something you aren't telling me though."
He shook his head and chuckled. "Last night Blaine made me stay with him. Of course I left by the time he woke up so didn't freak out. But he said that he loves me and I said it back," Kurt groaned. "Ugh I don't know what to do. I'm just so damn confused! To add on to it there's this guy named Samuel and I kind of like him. We're going to the café tonight after we catch a movie."
"Is that such a good idea?" She raises an eyebrow.
"It was his idea actually. Everyone in the cast keeps talking about the café and how amazing it is so he wanted to check it out for himself."
Folshi stopped in her tracks and pull Kurt back with her.
"What are you doing?"
She pointed up to the sign.
Kurt looks up and to see a sign saying Tattoo and Piecing Shop.
"Oh no!" Kurt shook his head furiously.
"C'mon! Let's go in!" Folshi pulled on his arm.
"I do not think so!"
"Kurt Hummel when was the last time you did something spontaneous and fun?"
Blaine and Folshi sit at the bar area watching the performer on stage. Blaine however was more interested at the table in the center of the room.
"You know," Folshi leaned in towards him. "If you go over and introduce yourself you'd seem like less of a stalker."
"What?" Blaine looked at her. "I could care less that he's on a date."
"The fact that you think you can lie to me and get away with it is very insulting," she sits back.
"Can we talk about anything else?" He rolls his eyes. "Like, I see you got a new tattoo," Blaine pointed to her arm.
"Yes," she nodded. "I did."
The café applauded as the performer walked off stage. Folshi got up, walked a few steps toward the stage before turning back around to Blaine.
"Kurt got a tattoo as well," she smirked and walked on stage.
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
Blaine's eyes went over to Kurt and looked him up and down. He was laughing, probably at something that Samuel said.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Those blue eyes seemed to shine brighter. He looks happy, Blaine thought. Good for him. Blaine saw Samuel tuck a piece of Kurt's hair behind his ear. They started leaning into each other but before Blaine could see what happened next, a set of hands grabbed his face, crashing lips together.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead
Blaine pulled back and saw Charlie smiling at him.
"I thought you were still mad at me," Blaine stroked his cheek with his thumb.
"I couldn't just give up on the man I love," he ducked his head.
Blaine was taken aback.
Should I say it back? Do I even feel that way about him?
You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
"I love you," Blaine finally said.
Charlie hugged him and Blaine put his arms around him. He looked over at Kurt, whom made brief eye contact, before looking away.
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
A/N: Okay, I might as well tell you this chapter was going in a completely different direction. I wasn't going to have the date in it or have Charlie appear but I felt inspired. So that means it's going to take a little bit longer to get out the next few chapters cause I need to rewrite them to make more sense. Hope you all like it and please review.
