I know it's been a while but remember, as always, REVIEWS = LOVE!
Defying Gravity plays quietly in the background.
"Are you going to get that?" Wes said pointing to Blaine's ringing phone.
"No." Blaine said silencing his phone.
"You have to talk to him." Thad said.
"I'm not talking to him. There is nothing to say." Blaine said plainly.
"Kurt was trying to help." Wes said grabbing the phone.
"I don't care. All he did was ruin everything." Blaine said trying to get this phone back.
"No, that was Dylan." Thad said. "He's the cheater." Blaine was silent. He know that everything was Dylan's fault, but it was easier to blame Kurt because he was close.
"Can I have my phone back?" Blaine asked Wes, holding his hand out waiting.
"Are you going to call Kurt?" he asked.
"No."
"Then no." Wes said unlocking the touchscreen and he starting typing.
"What are you doing?" Blaine asked.
"Texting Kurt." Wes said nonchalantly. Blaine lunged at him and Wes dodged him still typing rapidly.
"Come on Wes. Give me my phone." Blaine shouted.
"Fine. Here." Wes said handing the phone back.
"You sent it, didn't you?" Blaine asked.
"Yep." Wes said with a chuckle high fiving Thad. "See ya Blaine." he said as he and Thad left Blaine alone in the common room. Blaine opened the sent text and read it.
"Kurt, we need to talk. I know I was mad about everything that happened with Dylan but we need to clear the air." Blaine sighed and awaited an answer.

Teenage Dream plays quietly in the background.
"Oh it's Blaine." Kurt said aloud to Mercedes, Quinn and Tina.
"What's it say?" Mercedes asked.
"He wants to talk." Kurt said in a whisper.
"Well that's good right?" Tina asked.
"Yes. I suppose, but we've been back for three weeks and he hadn't said a word. I've text him like 50 times." Kurt said rereading the message.
"Well I guess he's ready." Mercedes said.
"You have to text him back and tell him you're ready to talk too." Quinn said.
"Ok, ladies. Wish me luck." Kurt said texting Blaine.

"Of course. Lima Bean. 3pm?" Blaine read. He text back, "Sure."
He wasn't sure what was going to happen but he knew that he did want to tell Kurt that he didn't blame him. That he had actually wanted to thank him for looking out for him.

Lima Bean. 3pm.
Blaine sat patiently and waited for Kurt's arrival. As the minutes ticked by his nerves started to sneak up on him. What if Kurt was angry now? What if he didn't want anything to do with him anymore because he was an ass?
"Calm down Blaine." he thought to himself. "Just breathe." he closed his eyes and took a few slow deep breaths.
"Blaine?" he heard Kurt's voice say.
"Hi." he said slowly opening them. "How have you been?"
"Fine. How about you? How have you been?" Kurt asked, concern showing in his voice.
"Ok, considering." Blaine answered. "Kurt, I'm sorry."
"What? Why are you sorry? I'm the one that meddled." Kurt said crossing his legs.
"I should have known that." Blaine explained. "I should have known you wouldn't hurt me. We're friends."
"Is that all we are Blaine?" Kurt asked as he leaned closer to Blaine. "I mean, there aren't any vibes here?"
"Vibes?" Blaine questioned. Kurt looked at his face. He was genuinely confused.
"I thought you liked me." Kurt whispered.
"I do like you." Blaine said grabbing Kurt's hand.
"No. Not the way I mean." Kurt said pulling his hand away.
"Oh." Blaine said quietly, his cheeks turning pink.
"It's fine Blaine, really." Kurt said plastering a fake smile on his face. "You're not mad at me anymore?"
"No I'm not." Blaine answered cheerlessly.
"Then we're good." Kurt said gathering his things. "I'll see you some other time." He stood from the table and turned to leave and Blaine grabbed his hand.
"I don't know what I'm doing." Blaine said wearily. "I mean that's clear isn't it?"
"What are you talking about?" Kurt asked taking his seat again.
"I just jumped into a relationship with a guy I knew for two weeks, I was the other guy, oh and on top of all of that I alienated the one person who was looking out for me during all of the craziness." Blaine clarified.
"Blaine, it's ok. I understand why you did it." Kurt said patting his hand.
"That doesn't mean I should have did it." Blaine said making eye contact with Kurt. "Did you mean it when you said you loved me?"
"I..uh..." Kurt was flustered. He had blurted that out in Canada and he had secretly hoped that Blaine had forgotten. "Yes."
"See, I could never do that. Just declare an emotion like that." Blaine said quietly. "Well at least I couldn't before."
"I don't understand." Kurt said.
"I love you Kurt." Blaine blurted out.
"What?"
"You heard me. I think that I always have. I was just, I don't know, afraid."
"I don't know what to say." Kurt said breathlessly.
"You don't have to say anything. I need to finish this." Blaine said, taking a deep breath before he continued. "I want to be with you Kurt."
"I don't want to be your rebound Blaine." Kurt said.
"You wouldn't be. Whatever I had with Dylan is over. I'm over it. I want to be happy Kurt. I'm happy with you." Blaine said with a smile.
"I need some air." Kurt said before bolting out of the Lima Bean.
"Are you ok?" Blaine asked catching up to him outside.
"What are you doing Blaine?" Kurt asked fighting back tears.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"I've wanted you since the moment I saw you." Kurt said the tears flowing now.
"Kurt I..." Blaine start but Kurt shook his head.
"I can't." he whispered.
"Why?"
"I don't know if this is real." Kurt stated. Blaine smiled and leaned in and kissed Kurt.
"It's real Kurt. I want us to be real." Blaine whispered to him.
"Are you sure?" Kurt whispered leaning his forehead against Blaine's.
"Yes, but only if you want to. No pressure."
"Of course I do." Kurt said with a smile. Blaine returned his smiled and kissed him again.
"I love you Kurt." Blaine said pulling Kurt into a tight embrace.
"I love you too, Blaine."
