http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6855517/1/Roomies Kurt wiped his eyes glancing once more at the door to Dave’s room silently wishing the other boy would remember that he loved him. He walked toward Blaine’s room determined to do something right today by breaking up with the boy he couldn’t really trust.
He stood in front of Blaine's room and raised a hand to knock on the door when he heard the unmistakable sound of laughter coming from his current boyfriend.
'No Wes, no one could replace you. That stupid virgin was just a bit of comfort until you came to you senses. Honestly can you really blame him for him wanting me back, it isn't like he has many gay guys to choose from? Are you kidding that jock is stuck in Narnia. Aww...babe don't be jealous you know I only have eyes for you… but can't I play with him a little longer before I dump him like last time? I know it turns you on knowing I'm teasing another guy,' Kurt heard Blaine say through the closed door.
Kurt’s jaw literally dropped to the floor. He wanted to rip the door from his hinges and murder Blaine by sticking his hand down the other boy’s throat and ripping out his heart. It seemed like a fair punishment for what the other boy had put him through over the last few months. Instead he decided to take away the only thing the other boy cared about: his social standing. Kurt pulled out his phone and did what he should have done when Blaine had first cheated on him. 'Blaine Anderson is a lying cheating bastard that will do "anything" for a solo,' he wrote in the text to the New Direction members and Warblers. He sent the same text to Blaine but added to his, 'You're dumped! I heard everything! Thanks for reminding me why we broke up in the first place.' He could hear Blaine's phone buzz loudly from inside his room and his door shot opened.
'Kurt sweetie, is this some kind of joke?' Blaine asked pocketing his phone and trying to take the other boy's hand.
'I'm not an idiot, Blaine. You’re clearly back with Wes, not that it matters because I was going to finish this anyway.' Kurt said pulling away and pointing between them.
'Kurt be serious, this is just a little misunderstanding,’ Blaine tried to assure him. ‘I know you still love me so why don't we forget this happened?'
'Let’s get this straight right now, I may have had a crush on you but I now know I never loved you. There is only person I’ve ever loved and I'm waiting for him to realize he loves me back,' Kurt assured him.
‘I think you’re setting yourself up for disappointment,’ Blaine told him.
‘I dated you Blaine I’m used to disappointment.’ Kurt rolled his eyes walking away.

Kurt adjusted his tousled hair in the glass reflection of the elevator as he made his way downstairs for dinner. He was wearing his tight black jeans, his plain cardigan and his Likes Boys t-shirt. He didn’t know why he had decided to pack this outfit at the last minute but now he was glad he did. There was something about this outfit that made him feel sexy and confident and he was going to need both those qualities to win Dave back. He tried to practice his seduction face in the elevator’s reflection but he just ended up looking constipated. He sighed to himself as the doors opened and he strutted into the lobby making sure to swing his hips in a way he hoped looked sexy. He was disappointed not to find Dave downstairs but his eyes fell on his best friends, Mercedes and Tina sitting in the waiting area. Mercedes gave him a half smile before looking downwards. Kurt shook away his anger at his friend and crossed the room to her.
‘Mercedes…,’ he asked a little unsure of what to say, ‘Can we please be friends again?’
Mercedes glanced at Tina who was nodding her head vigorously before quickly standing and wrapping Kurt in a hug, ‘Yeah, I’m sorry, Kurt. I shouldn’t have made those stupid demands. It’s up to you who you want to date and if dating Karofsky is a mistake, it’s your mistake to make.’
Kurt held her tightly sighing against her shoulder as the mention of Dave made him start to tear up.
Mercedes loosened her grip and looked Kurt up and down, ‘Kurt, are you alright?’
‘Dave and I had a fight,’ Kurt frowned at her, ‘and he won’t take me back.’
‘What did he do to you? Do I need to throw a diva shit fit?’ Mercedes asked taking his hand.
Kurt shook his head gently sitting down next to the girls, ‘No, it was me. I messed up. I made too many demands of him and then when I didn’t get my way I ran back to Blaine. And boy was that a horrible mistake? If I ever think about getting back with him ever again slap me, okay?’
‘Yeah, we saw the text,’ Tina laughed before her eyes settled on Kurt’s outfit. ‘Is this your “look what you’re missing out on” ensemble?’
Kurt shrugged, ‘I was hoping it wasn’t that obvious.’
‘It wouldn’t have been but we saw your catwalk strut when you came out of the elevator and figured it had to be for someone,’ Mercedes assured him.
‘Do I need to tone it down?’ Kurt asked the girls.
‘Not if you really want him back,’ Tina assured him.
Mercedes yanked at his cardigan, ‘Make sure when we sit down for dinner you sit where he can see you and take off you’re cardigan. You rock that t-shirt and those jeans and he’ll be drooling when he sees them.’
Kurt covered his mouth to suppress a chuckle, ‘Let’s hope so.’
The elevator doors opened again and Dave walked out wearing the same red and black checked shirt and baggy jeans as he had on earlier when Kurt had last seen him but now the shirt hung open revealing a white t-shirt underneath. Kurt wanted to laugh at how similarly they were dressed until he caught sight of Santana and Brittany behind Dave. Santana glared at him like a pit bull warning an intruder and even Brittany crossed her arms over her chest and shook her head at him with a frown decorating her lips. Kurt caught Dave’s eyes peeking at him for a moment before wincing and looking in the other direction. He took a step toward Dave but Mercedes grabbed his arm.
‘He’s not ready,’ she warned him.
‘But…,’ Kurt started to say.
‘No buts about it, if you try to fix this before he’s ready you’ll get nowhere,’ Mercedes tried to reason with him. ‘Plus Santana is in attack mode so if you go over there she’s just going to kick your ass while swearing in Spanish.’
Kurt bit his lip collapsing back into the uncomfortable hotel chair, ‘Alright, I’ll wait.’

Kurt picked at his bottomless salad bowl as he watched Dave eat another slice of the Hawaiian pizza he was sharing with Santana and Brittany. All the New Directions were sharing a table but Mercedes’ plan for Kurt to sit near Dave hadn’t gone well. When he had sat down in the seat across from him, Santana had literally growled at him until he moved to the other end of the table. Now he was sat at the opposite end of the table watching his former boyfriend laugh and talk with his friends but was unable to hear what he was saying. He had even tried taking his cardigan off to get Dave’s attention but he only ended up shivering in the cold restaurant. Kurt glanced down the table like a lost puppy at Dave when he heard his former boyfriend laugh at something Sam had said but the only response from that side of the table was an eye roll from Blaine.
Mercedes’ reached across the table placing her hand on his when she noticed he wasn’t eating, ‘Kurt, forget him he’s not worth it.’
Kurt shook his head, ‘No, Mercedes he was worth it but I didn’t see it before.’
Mercedes’ eyes lowered as she stabbed at her pasta as she whispered, ‘I know the feeling.’
‘Do you think…Dave likes Sam?’ Kurt asked Mercedes.
Mercedes rolled her eyes, ‘It doesn’t matter Sam isn’t gay, Kurt.’
‘You don’t know that,’ Kurt said looking uncomfortably toward the boys.
Mercedes nodded, ‘Yeah, I do…and so do you…I think he’s back with Quinn anyway.’
Kurt ran his hand over his face, ‘I know I’m being ridiculous…but I’m jealous but I can’t help it.’
Mercedes sighed looking down the table at the other boy, ‘You know he’s probably ignoring you because he misses you too.’
Kurt rubbed his temple, ‘Or he’s already over me.’
‘Guys, I have an announcement,’ Mr. Schue stood interrupting their conversation. ‘I know we didn’t win 1st place today like we had hoped but I still think you all did an amazing job to come 11th out of 50 teams, so much so that Coach Sylvester and I have planned a special reward for all of you when we get back to the hotel.’
Sue grimaced shaking her head, ‘Lies! I had no part in this.’
Will ignored her and continued, ‘I have arranged with the hotel to hire their hall for the evening. They have been kind enough to lend us their karaoke machine and some instruments so when we get back you all can celebrate and rock out for the rest of the evening. I hope it will be a night to remember.’
Kurt looked away from Mr. Schue and noticed Dave staring longingly at him. He smiled at the other boy as their eyes met and Dave blushed lowering his eyes to the table. Kurt’s eyes softened as he thought, ‘Maybe Mr. Schue was right maybe this would be a night to remember after all.’
