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.
The rest of the coffee date with Blaine and Jesse had gone down just as awkwardly as it started. Jesse was too quiet, too apologetic and he honestly made Kurt a little bit nauseous with the routine. It was such an obvious routine. He made soft references to how sorry he was through the entire thing. He was too docile and too apologetic. It didn't make sense. It was not the boy that Kurt was completely accustomed to, had become accustomed to during Jesse’s stint in New Directions.
He said he was sorry, so sorry, but Kurt knew that had to be part of a larger act.
"Blaine, I'm not sure this meeting was a good idea," Jesse said, and Kurt could swear that he was trying to look teary eyed. As much as Rachel had boasted once upon a time that she and Jesse were Broadway bound, the kid was a horrible actor. It was obvious he was faking in the entire time.
Kurt didn't believe it and he was going to stop this, before Blaine wound up with a broken heart.
His first idea brought him to the Dalton Academy library, where Wes and David were sitting at a table, studying. Wes and David were very affluent members of the Dalton community, being on the Warblers' Council and they also seemed to have a lot of pull with Blaine. "Hey, guys, can I talk to you?" Kurt asked, hesitantly. He knew that the two boys weren't exactly fond of him and to be honest, he kind of thought they were robots, not that fond of them either.
They both looked up, almost at once (see, freaky robots) and David spoke up first, hesitantly. "What is it Kurt?" he asked. Kurt realized that they probably thought he was going to try and rock their boat, once again.
"It's not about Warbler stuff," Kurt said quickly, to dismiss their fears and get to the point. He took a seat at their table, something that made them both look uncomfortable. Kurt fought the urge to roll his eyes. "It's about Blaine's boyfriend. Have you guys met him?"
Wes and David exchanged a look.
"He hasn't introduced us to his boyfriend yet," Wes said, uneasily. "He seems to be rather fond of him, though."
"Yeah," David agreed. "He couldn’t stop babbling about the guy the other day."
"I just met him," Kurt said. "His boyfriend is Jesse St. James, Vocal Adrenaline's lead last year."
Once again, robot looks were exchanged. Kurt practically growled.
"What's the problem Kurt?" Wes asked. "That's an interesting choice in partner, but Vocal Adrenaline's current vocal lead is a young exchange student, Sunshine Corazon. This would lead me to believe that this Jesse guy has graduated, correct?"
"This is bad, guys; bad for Blaine and bad for The Warblers."
“Explain,” Wes said.
Kurt leaned forward on the table as he spoke. “Last year, Jesse St. James took interest in our lead, Rachel. He got close to her and they started dating. Now, we were all convinced that Jesse was a spy and was going to destroy us, so Rachel promised she’d break up with him, but she didn’t. It was a fiasco worthy of its own Lifetime movie. You see, Rachel’s mom, her biological mom was Vocal Adrenaline’s coach.”
“Her mom?” David asked, eyebrow raised.
“Yeah her mom,” Kurt went on. “Rachel has two gay dads and never knew the surrogate they used. So Jesse basically used Rachel for her mom and then he has the audacity to turn on her in the last moment, return to Vocal Adrenaline and crush her heart. He and the other members of Vocal Adrenaline cornered her and pelted her with raw eggs - Rachel’s a vegan and it was really sickening to her.”
“So, the guy is cutthroat,” David agreed, “but Kurt, we’ve all seen cutthroat choir members. The guy is done with high school.”
“Guys like Jesse never leave high school,” he said quickly, repeating what he had said to Blaine. “Did Blaine tell you about his boyfriend’s ‘anxiety attacks’ and how he transferred out of UCLA of all places?”
“He mentioned something,” Wes mumbled.
Kurt nodded.
“It’s obvious that Jesse crumbled under the pressure of actually living a real life,” Kurt said, laughing softly and shaking his head. “Going out there and realizing the real world wasn’t as easy as life in small town Ohio, Jesse crumbled and decided to do what he was good at.”
“That’s an interesting theory,” Wes mumbled and he exchanged a look with David. Kurt knew that he was getting through to him.
“Would you guys at least talk to Blaine?” Kurt asked.
He got at least a nod from the two council members.
Kurt groaned and got up. He knew that he should call Rachel, as much as he hated it. If Jesse was back in the area and determined to take another person down, then his first victim needed to know about it. Rachel was going to be absolutely crushed.
He picked up his phone.
“Kurt! Hi!”
Rachel was always one of the most enthusiastic people, even on the phone. Kurt chuckled a little bit, but answered seriously, knowing why he was calling. “Hey Rachel,” he said. “I’ve got some really bad news.”
“What’s wrong Kurt?” she asked. “Are you okay?”
“I am okay,” he said, “but I just met Blaine’s new boyfriend.”
Rachel sounded sad, instantly. “Oh Kurt, I am so sorry,” she said. “I know you were really interested in Blaine, that must be awful - maybe we can hang out or something this weekend?”
Kurt breathed deep. “I would like that Rachel,” he said. “But that’s not the problem exactly. Blaine’s ex is…Jesse.”
Kurt nearly went deaf when Rachel screamed into the phone. “WHAT THE-? How can Jesse…Kurt…no, how can Jesse be Blaine’s…this makes no sense. “
“Trust me,” he said. “I know. I’m really freaked out right now, myself. I don’t know what to do. Apparently Jesse went to UCLA and had some kind of anxiety related meltdown. He met Blaine again when he came back to go to a junior college near here. They’re old family friends or something. They hit it off really well and started dating. Of course they would start dating right when Regionals is coming up.”
Rachel was quiet for a moment, but finally mumbled, “Jesse is going to destroy Blaine. “
“I know,” Kurt mumbled softly.
“Can you…come down this weekend?”
“I will be there Rachel,” he said. “I may need your help - the whole group’s help.”
