Summary: Kurt wasn't going to lie about it - the fact that Blaine Anderson had a boyfriend hurt. It hurt even more when he realized who that boyfriend was.
Kurt wasn’t going to lie about it - the fact that Blaine Anderson had a boyfriend hurt. It hurt like hell and had come at a time when he really thought that maybe he and Blaine stood a chance. All the signs pointed to perfection really. He and Blaine were both openly gay, of course, and it had seemed to Kurt like they were flirting an awful lot. Kurt, however, was quickly discovering that Blaine was the type to flirt with people and even quicker to discover that he was very much in love with some mystery guy.
Kurt also had to try to be happy for Blaine, because he was about five minutes away from meeting mystery boy. Blaine was all excited about the meeting too.
“I can’t wait for you two to talk,” he had told Kurt, just the previous night on the phone. “I think you guys…really need to.” Blaine was kind of clueless about Kurt’s little crush on him and Kurt figured it was best if he left it that way. Apparently Kurt just had to meet his boyfriend and he could never say no to Blaine.
Kurt had to admit that he didn’t know much about Blaine’s boyfriend, hence him being titled Mystery Boy in Kurt’s mind. Blaine had told him that his boyfriend was an old family friend who had gone off to college the previous year, only to have some issues with severe anxiety and return to Ohio, where he was currently attending a junior college outside of Westerville. Apparently he was a huge charmer and Blaine was madly in love with him. Kurt could not help wonder why Blaine was so vague when talking about his apparent Mr. Right though. If Kurt had such a “wonderful and charming” boyfriend, he’d certainly be dishing details by the bucket load. He just hoped the boy wasn’t crazy or anything.
No, he vowed to be happy for Blaine, no matter what. Blaine loved this guy, apparently, and Kurt was not going to let his jealousy get the best of him. “He’s just perfect…” Blaine had gushed.
Kurt supposed it was time for him to see how perfect Mr. Right was, because Blaine’s car pulled into the parking lot of the coffee shop where they were meeting. Kurt walked over to it, just as Blaine got out. Blaine looked stunning as always, especially outside of the Dalton uniform, as it was a Sunday. He was wearing dark jeans and a grey t-shirt and his hair wasn’t as slicked down as usual. Kurt tried not to drool, especially since the boyfriend was sitting in the passenger seat. He too got out.
It took Kurt a moment to realize he was staring at Jesse St. James.
Kurt’s mouth hung open and he was sure he was staring for way too long before he finally yelled, “What the hell is he doing here?” It was a little dramatic, but seriously, this could not be the boyfriend that Blaine had been gushing about. Blaine knew what had happened between New Directions and Vocal Adrenaline, and to a degree, Jesse and Rachel. Also, Blaine would have let him in on that fact.
“Nice to see you too, Kurt,” Jesse mumbled tensely. He looked different than when Kurt had seen him. He was thinner, a little more pale and worn looking. He did not look quite as confident as he had when he ruled the stage last. He looked exhausted and there were lines of tension in his face, but at the same time, he looked like he was happy where he was.
Blaine took the other boy by the hand and swallowed. “Um, Kurt, Jesse and I are dating.”
Jesse looked down, as if he was nervous. “Blaine didn’t want to tell you until we actually got a chance to talk in person.”
Kurt shook his head. “No freaking way,” he said, almost laughing at the insane situation he was currently in. “Blaine, can we talk for a second? Alone.” He glared at Jesse and dragged the other boy back towards his car.
Jesse rolled his eyes, sighed a little and looked at the coffee place. “I’ll go inside and get a table or something.”
Blaine looked at Kurt. “Please Kurt,” he said, as they walked towards Kurt’s car. “I really need you to be nice to Jesse.”
“Nice?” Kurt asked, outraged. “Nice to Jesse St. James? Oh my god, Blaine. This guy tore us apart - he tore Rachel apart! - He is a ruthless bastard and there is no way that someone like you could be dating someone like him. He’s probably not even gay.”
“For your information,” Blaine said stiffly, “Jesse identifies as bisexual and a lot has changed since you last saw him.”
“It hasn’t even been a year,” Kurt said. “It hasn’t even been a year since Jesse St. James transferred to McKinley, broke Rachel’s heart and then transferred back to Carmel in order to destroy us - which he very well nearly did.”
“Kurt, Jesse graduated last year,” Blaine pointed out.
“Oh god, this is why he dropped out of college. That anxiety story he fed you was total bullshit, Blaine. He is going to destroy you right in time for Regionals so that Vocal Adrenaline takes the win.”
“No offense Kurt, but you sound insane,” Blaine said seriously. “Jesse still has friends from Vocal Adrenaline but he’s a little above fighting for high school show choirs now. Also, I’m really offended by the fact that you would take his mental issues and tear them apart because of some old rivalries. He’s been through so much this last year and college really hurt him.”
"Blaine," he said seriously, "guys like Jesse St. James never leave high school, not in their minds. They were his glory days as the star of Vocal Adrenaline, the big man of Carmel High and that's all there is left for him. He's going to bring you down to make sure that his former club carries on his legacy. It's too predictable."
Blaine looked pissed off, something that took Kurt by surprise. Blaine was never anything but cool and collected. "Kurt, I would like it if you stopped telling me what kind of guy my boyfriend is. I know Jesse well."
"But Rachel -"
"Jesse has told me what he did to Rachel. I have heard the entire story.”
"He told you?" Kurt asked, his eyes wide. "He told you that he used Rachel and broke her heart? He told you that he manipulated her feelings, used her relationship with the mother she never knew, tried to get her to sleep with him, used her for his team, and pulled a horrible prank on her? How the hell could he have told you these things? Why would you still want to be with him?"
"I believe in forgiveness Kurt," Blaine said softly. "I'm also quite a bit more disconnected from the situation than you or Rachel. I doubt that I could ever forgive the kids at my old high school, who bullied me mercilessly, but I am giving Jesse forgiveness, because everyone deserves a second chance. What Jesse did to Rachel broke him to pieces. He spent his first semester of college a wreck, because she was all that he could think about. He's accepted that he will never get a second chance, or Rachel's forgiveness, but one horrible action does not make you a horrible person, you have to understand that. He's also sweet, charming and we have a ton of things in common."
Kurt shook his head. "He's going to hurt you for Vocal Adrenaline Blaine, I know it," he said. "He was the sweetest, most charming bastard when he was with New Directions."
“Give him a chance Kurt,” Blaine said. “Please. Come on. You were going to have coffee with me and my boyfriend.”
Kurt swallowed. What else could he do? He walked back toward the coffee shop. When he entered, he saw Jesse, sitting in a booth with a cup of coffee in his hands. Another one sat on the end of the table. “I ordered your usual Blaine,” he mumbled. “Kurt, I wasn’t sure what to get you.”
“It’s fine,” Kurt said, quickly going to order a drink.
Blaine slipped into the booth with Jesse, leaning up close. Oh god, Kurt was sick to his stomach. He ordered a plain coffee, stomach twisting a little bit. He could not believe that Jesse and Blaine were together. No way, surely Blaine had to see this insanity. It was madness. He was going to be tortured and then destroyed right before Regionals.
He returned when his coffee was paid for and handed over.
“Kurt,” Jesse said, an arm wrapped around Blaine. “I know that we’ve had a bad history with one another. I know that I’ve done some horrible things to you and your friends and I know it might not be easy to like me, but I want to start things fresh.”
Kurt stared at Blaine, then at Jesse and shook his head. “This…I just don’t know how to deal with this.”
