AN: I actually wrote this early in the day and I have more I'm going to write today so I can start stockpiling my chapters so that I don't have to rush to write like I have been this past weekend. Hooray! Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 18
Sebastian pulled out the chair opposite Kurt and sat, blocking Kurt's view of the register. "Don't be like that. Really, maybe if you talk to me, you can lose some of that naiveté that I still see in you. Guess you and Blaine haven't done it yet huh?" Kurt just glared, blushing lightly, mouth tight to hold in any words.
Sebastian laughed. "Aww, the baby gay finally got some. I guess it wasn't very good. You still look like a virgin. At least this way when I get Blaine, he will know just how much better I am than you. So innocent. Huh little Kurtsie?" Sebastian sneered at Kurt.
Kurt turned a bright red in anger. "You won't be getting near him. Got it?"
"And who is going to stop me? You? He will get bored of you soon enough and then I'll be right here, waiting." Sebastian gloated, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms, looking smug.
"Blaine will never be attracted to you. Not only are you a jerk and a player, but you are so unfashionable, it's sickening. Honestly, what's with your hair? Looks like you got caught in a shredder. And your outfit, you should just stick with the Dalton uniform because you clearly have no sense of style and at least the uniform is shaped in a way that I don't have to see your love handles flubbing all over the place. Now get out of my face before I puke all over your knock-off, piece of trash boots." Kurt ranted, watching as Sebastian's face grew red in embarrassment. He finished and panted slightly, giving Sebastian a smug look.
Someone cleared their throat behind Kurt and he stiffened a bit. Sebastian recovered from his shock at Kurt's words and gave Kurt a fake hurt look. "Well, sorry for trying to be friendly. I'll just go. Bye Kurt, Blaine."
At hearing Blaine's name confirmed as the person behind him, Kurt froze, afraid to move. He listened as Blaine apologized for him and said goodbye to Sebastian. He watched as Blaine sat across from him in the seat Sebastian had just left. Blaine slid the coffee and muffin he had in his hands across the table to Kurt remarking "I added the cinnamon like you like."
Well, that answered Kurt's question of how Blaine got behind him. The only question remaining was how much Blaine had heard. "Thank you." Kurt said softly, picking a crumb off the plate and eating it.
Blaine just watched silently as Kurt picked at his muffin and sipped his coffee, not looking up to meet Blaine's gaze. Blaine finished his own drink and scone before Kurt was halfway through the muffin. Noticing this, Kurt pushed his own plate away, too nervous to eat anymore. "I'm done. Can we go now?"
Blaine raised an eyebrow but agreed, knowing that Kurt wouldn't be able to eat until they had talked. They grabbed their trash and threw it away, walking back to the car and driving back to Kurt's house.
They entered quietly, Blaine locking the door behind him. He turned to Kurt. "Call Finn. Find out when he is going to be back and let him know what your dad told you yesterday."
"Yes, Blaine." Kurt said quietly as he pulled out his phone. A quick conversation later, he hung up and told Blaine. "He said that he and Rachel will be taking advantage and to not expect him back until tomorrow night at the earliest."
Blaine nodded. "That's good. Gives us some privacy for this. Kurt, what were you thinking? What you said, it was just hurtful. I think you really upset him."
Kurt looked down, blushing at the scolding tone. "I know. I just got so upset with him. You should have heard how he was talking to me and what he said about us." Kurt grew angry and with it came the courage to look up and meet Blaine's gaze.
Blaine gave Kurt a look at his tone of voice. "What did we agree about Sebastian after that night at Scandals, Kurt?"
Kurt huffed. "We agreed that I needed to just ignore him and not sink to his level. But Blaine-"
Blaine cut him off, not wanting an excuse. "No, Kurt. We agreed that neither of us would play into his words again and not even five minutes in his presence and you are already cutting him down. I think you need to think about why I'm upset and why you are in trouble. Go stand in the corner." He pointed at an empty corner in the living room.
Kurt started to move towards it, automatically responding to Blaine's tone of voice. He stopped and turned back to Blaine. "No."
Blaine raised an eyebrow. "No? You really think that's a good idea Kurt?"
Kurt folded his arms, both to look more defiant and to hold himself as he stood up against Blaine. "I do. You aren't listening to me. I told you why I did it and that he deserved it and you are still mad at me." By then end of his sentence, Kurt was whining and near tears in frustration.
Blaine sighed. "I heard what you had to say and I'm planning to take it into consideration when you are over my knee because you are still getting a spanking no matter how provoked you were. You broke one of the agreements that we had in place for how we were going to deal with him as a couple and you made deliberately nasty comments to him. I'm not mad at you. I'm disappointed. Now go stand in the corner before I decide you need help there."
Kurt rushed to the corner, knowing that having his help would not end well, tears spilling over his cheeks at Blaine's words. Disappointed. Kurt bit back a sob at the word. He huddled into himself in the corner, hugging his arms around his body as he cried. Ever since his dad's heart attack and subsequent coma, he did anything he could to not hear that word. And to hear his boyfriend say it hurt. His breathing grew shallow and he started letting out sobs as he stared at the corner through his tears. He quickly became short of breath and was gasping for air between sobs.
Blaine watched as Kurt silently cried in the corner, listening to his muted sniffles. He knew his words had been harsh but Kurt needed to hear them. When he heard Kurt sob a bit, he stood in alarm, not knowing why his words were affecting him so much. Hearing Kurt's breathing change and the sobs continue, he walked over to the corner and turned Kurt around, frowning at the sight of Kurt's tear-covered face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, wiping a bit of the tears off Kurt's face.
Kurt pushed himself into Blaine's arms and buried his head in Blaine's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disappoint you. Please, Blaine, I'm sorry. Don't leave me." His breath was still short and he was hyperventilating a bit. He started crying into Blaine's shoulder, no longer holding back his tears.
Blaine moved them so they were sitting on the couch, Kurt on his lap. He ran his fingers through Kurt's hair as he whispered. "Shh, it's okay baby. Just breathe. I'm not going anywhere. Shh."
Kurt slowly stopped crying as he listened to Blaine's words. His breath steadied and he pulled back a bit to look Blaine in the eye. "Promise?"
Blaine wiped at Kurt's face as he answered. "Of course I promise. I love you. Nothing you do is going to be enough to make me leave you."
Kurt sniffled. "But you said you were disappointed. I-I don't want to disappoint you." Kurt started crying a bit again.
Blaine wiped the new tears away. "Baby, I may be disappointed with something you do but it's only because I know you can do better. It doesn't mean I'm going to leave you. Why would you think that?"
AN: Weird cut off I know but I'm saving the talk for the next chapter. Plus some other stuff depending on how long their talk takes. Please review.
