The next day, Thursday, Blaine can't help himself anymore. He loses his patience, his hope maybe too? He doesn't know.
The chestnut haired boy enters school, nose in his history book. He wanted to study last night but felt asleep on the couch so now he needs to finish his homework real quick before class starts. He doesn't even notices how he walks past Blaine without greeting him, without a kiss, a hello or anything. Not even a smile or a look.
When he walks past Blaine something in the younger boy clicks. He can't go one more day feeling like this but Kurt doesn't even seem to notice what he's doing to Blaine. Blaine doesn't catch Kurt before history class but after that, before french he takes Kurt by his arm and pulls him into an empty class room.
"Kurt. Hi" the curly haired boy greets his boyfriend for the first time today. "Blaine hi. What's up? And can we make it short? I need to get to french for my presentation today" the other boy says and Blaine can't supress a laugh. A disappointed laugh.
"You didn't look at me once today and now you don't have time to talk for two minutes?" he asks. "I'm here but you are on another planet. Another universe. You don't kiss me, hug me, greet me or even look at me. I'm here too. I'm your boyfriend for gods sake but right now I feel like we're strangers, like we don't even know each other.
I miss you but I feel like it's not enough. I love you but I don't get anything back and you know I need that. You know I can't go without it. Usually you shower me with affection, little things, because you know me so well. We love each other. You love me and I love you. But now it's just me and I waited for a bit now but I can't go on like that anymore. You didn't see how I felt the last days with wherever your head is. Normally you notice when I'm not feeling well but you don't even pay attention to anything so I have to tell you" Blaine snaps, at the edge of crying in the end.
"Okay. Ahm. Sorry for making my dad my priority? It's not like he's the most important person in my life and the only one I still have from my blood related family. Sorry for taking care of him and constantly worrying about him and that maybe something could happen to him again. Sorry for somehow wanting to get through exams without familing completely. You study hard for A's. Mostly study hard. You're smart. I have to study hard to get C's and B's, now more than ever. Now if you would excuse me I need to get to french and prepare my presentation so I don't fail there" Kurt answers and passes Blaine without another look at him.
He sounded mad and dissapointed. Probably just as much as Blaine sounded. The younger boy saw the tears rising in his boyfrineds eyes but he couldn't react quick enough to say or do anything before Kurt left. Now his own vision gets blurry from his own tears. What did just happen? They both said what they think. They snapped at each other. They fought. Their first argument.
Suddenly Blaine feels sick so instead of going to his next class, spanish, he goes in the other direction. Home. His mom is on a business trip in Seattle since yesterday and only will come back on the weekend. At home Angela greets him. "Blaine, dear, you're home early. Did something happen?" she calls from the kitchen but one look at her nephew is enough.
"What happened sweet boy?" she asks and guides them to the living room so they can sit down on the couch and talk. "Kurt and I had a fight" Blaine says and just like that the tears start rising again. He tells his aunt everything. The way Kurt neglected him lately and how it made him feel, the way Kurt acts and what they said to each other in the empty class room. "We never fought before and I thought we never will. We love each other and we're a really good team" Blaine sobs in his aunts arms.
Kurt is sure he failed his presentation. He forgot half of the stuff he wanted to say but repeated others like three times or so. He couldn't concentrate. His paper has to do the magic now to give him a more or less acceptable grade. Kurt couldn't focus. Not in french anf not for the rest of the school day. He and Blaine fought. How could that happen? He was the reason for this. He and his behaviour. But he didn't want to snap at Blaine like that but the way Blaine snapped at him just made it happen. All the tension, the pressure and his messed up feelings overwhelmed him.
At home Finn says he'll make lunch so Kurt can relax a bit. He doesn't know what happened at school but his brother doesn't look good. He doesn't pressure Kurt into telling him so he just tries to help with giving Kurt some time for himself. Maybe that's just what he needs. Kurt doesn't look good at all. He doesn't feel good. Tired, exhausted, mad, sad, worried, all at once and even more. Finn thinks that maybe Kurt backed out during an exam and looks miserable because of that but maybe it's also his worry for Burt? Maybe both?
Like Burt does on the couch Kurt wants to take a nap but he just lays in his bed and looks up at the ceiling, thinking, overthinking. He can't sleep but he also can't find the energy to stand up again now. In the end he does get up and puts the clothes away that Finn put in his room yesterday. Then he goes down and sets the table for lunch before he wakes his dad so they can eat lunch. He isn't really hungry tho, the fight and his stupid presentation heavy in his body.
He does the dishes after lunch so Finn can have some time to relax too and ends up only doing about half of his school stuff before he and Finn have to get started on making dinner. After dinner the brothers do the dishes together and while Finn sits down next to Burt on the couch to watch a basketball game Kurt goes up to his room to finish his school work and pack his bag for tomorrow.
Once done he changes and lays down in bed. As usually he takes his phone but his thumb hovers over the call button. He and Blaine fought and since he didn't get a text or anythign from Blaine it seems like they aren't talking to each other at the moment. Also a fight shouldn't get solved on the phone. Especially since Kurt still feels too emotional and tired and not in the right headspace. He doesn't want to risk snapping at Blaine again.
Instead he turns on some pusic and takes his book. It doesn't take him long until he falls asleep with the book laying on his chest. Finn, knowing that something is up with his brother, goes upstairs after the game. Maybe it's time for a deep talk night again and now he's determined to find out what happened without pressuring Kurt. Burt Kurt is fast asleep when he comes in so Finn takes the book and puts it away before he turns off the light and goes to his own room to go to bed.
