AN: So thanks to supergirl202, this little arc got extended. If you're bored with it blame her!
I was sitting in Burt's office at the garage when my cell phone rang. Picking it up, I wasn't surprised to see my brother's name on the screen. I got at least a daily call from him these days. On bad days he called two or three times.
"Hey, dude. What's up?"
"Finn, I think I made a huge mistake," Kurt blurted out, not even bothering with a greeting. I could tell he was panicking.
"Okay, Kurt just take a couple of deep breaths and stay calm," I replied, my voice taking on a patient and soothing tone. I waited as I heard him take a couple of slow deep breaths. "Now calmly tell me what's going on."
"Blaine's here. He decided to visit during his spring break and I'm glad to see him," Kurt began, nothing at all calm about his explanation. "I don't know how I would have gotten through the last few months without the two of you but I just made a huge mistake. I just had a make-out session with him. I totally forgot about him cheating on me and now he probably thinks we're back together and I'm going to get my heart broken again! All of my relationships end up hurtful yet I keep putting myself in that position!"
I felt anger creeping in. I had warned Blaine to be careful with Kurt's feelings. To not pressure him into anything. If Blaine had made the situation worse nothing was going to save him.
"Did Blaine force you-"
"No. It wasn't like that," Kurt said quickly, interrupting the question that I wasn't quite sure how I had planned to ask. "All we did was kiss. It was tame really. And when I asked him to stop he did but then I kissed him back. Now he probably thinks we're back together and I'm not ready for that!"
"Then tell him that," I replied, feeling a sense of relief. Given what he had been through, I understood Kurt's fear but at least it sounded like Blaine was being mindful of Kurt's feelings.
"I kissed him, Finn! I can't believe I led him on! And it felt right!"
"Kurt, do you want to date Blaine again?" I asked gently.
There was a pause before I heard a quiet hesitant reply. "Yes, but he cheated on me once. What if he does it again?"
"I know it's a risk, but life is about taking risks," I told him. "Yes, he screwed up but I really do believe he is sorry for what he did," I said, thinking of the conversations I'd had with Blaine since last fall. "And he does still love you. These last few months are testament to that."
"So, you think I should give him a second chance?"
"I think that you're going to have to start trusting someone at some point, and Blaine is probably the surest way to go. You two just need to take it slow. Don't let him push you too far too fast. If he isn't willing to do that he isn't worth it."
~And if he breaks your heart or hurts you then he'll be answering to me,~ I added silently, planning on calling Blaine myself to discuss the situation.
