AN: And now for the makeup. This one is from Blaine's POV. Inspired by lyrics from "It's All Around You" by New Found Glory


I kept replaying his final words to me yesterday afternoon in my head - "I'm never speaking to you again, Blaine Anderson." I had known Kurt would be a little upset about what I had done but I hadn't expected him to get that angry. I had just been trying to look out for him. Open his eyes to things so that he could make good decisions later. I hadn't thought I would lose a friend over it.

I wasn't ready to give up on Kurt yet though. Kurt was an emotional person but after the heat of the moment past I knew he could look at things more reasonably. Standing on Dalton's front steps waiting for Kurt to show up, I hoped he had been able to do that last night. I didn't want to lose my best friend.

Spotting him amongst the seas of Dalton blazers, I pushed off the column I was leaning against and straightened my own blazer. I watched him as he made his way toward the school, ready to move to intercept him if necessary. It wasn't as Kurt spotted me and headed in my direction, stopping a step from the top of the stairs, looking up at me. Kurt held out a cup from the Lima Bean.

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" I asked, accepting the peace offering.

"I'm still not happy about what you did, Blaine, but thinking about it I realized I'm more embarrassed than angry."

"I was only trying to look out for you."

"I know but next time can you try doing so without involving my father."

It's a promise I know I can't make as I know I would do whatever was necessary to protect Kurt. "Is it enough if I promise it will be a last resort from now on?" I ask, hearing the desperation in my own voice.

Kurt is silent for a moment before he finally sighs. "It's not the answer I was hoping for but at least it's an honest one," he says, finally looking up at me and flashing me a smile.

I immediately smile myself as a weight I didn't know was there lifts from my shoulder. I haven't lost my best friend and that's the best feeling in the world.
