Love, and its Costs

Presentation

It was the day. Kurt and Blaine had been meeting up at the coffee house instead. Because if Sean's suspiciouns. They had to present it that morning.
***
Presentation was done well. They got good feedback from Isabelle. Which was good, considering that she was their boss. Their mentor. Everyone leaves the room, and Kurt cleans up the stack of papers that was passed out. Blaine puts his cross bag over his
Shoulder.

"Hey. Nice job today.I think we did pretty well." Blaine complements.

"Oh thanks. You too!"

Blaine drums the chair in front of him with his fingers.

"Hey um. You wanna go celebrate tonight? There's this great restaurant I know."

"Sounds great!" Kurt puts the papers in his cross bag, and puts it over his shoulder. "But I'm kinda busy tonight. My in-laws are coming over."

"Oh. Okay"

"Maybe some other time." Kurt says trying to cheer him up.

"Yeah. Yeah. Just um. Contact me when you get a chance." Blaine leaves sad. And Kurt feels guilty for denying it. Truth is. The in-laws weren't really coming. He just said that because he was getting nervous of what this is turning into. Kurt is married.... but he feels different around Blaine than his husband.....that's not a good sign. He walks out of the room, and goes to his desk. Finishing up some work. Until one of his co-workers starts to talk to him.

"Hey."

"Hi Meena. What's up?"

"Look. I know you like him."

"Who?"

"Don't act dumb Kurt. You have been my co-worker for 5 years now. I basically know you."

"Yeah. but I don't really know you. Nor do I talk to you." Kurt turns away, and finishes his work.

"Kurt."

"What?" he says annoyed.

"The way you look at him. Your chemistry. It's really cute. and powerful."

"Yeah. but I'm married." Kurt looks up at Meena. "I can't just fall in love with a man that I barely even know. Yeah we went to high school together. but that's it. We were just friends. and that's the way it will stay. Just like I said. I'm married."

"Are you happy?"

Kurt changes his expression from a little furious to caring, droopy eyes. It was hard for him to answer the question. He plays with the pen in his hand. twirling with his fingers.

"Kurt?"

"Um. I gotta finish some work. Can you please go."

"Just think about it. Okay."

"Yeah. I will."

Meena leaves and Kurt is just thinkig about the question she asked. His phone vibrates, and it was a text from Sean.

Sean: You wanna do something tonight? Cause I feel like you've been really distant lately.

Kurt: Yeah! What do you have in mind?

Sean: We can go out to eat tonight.

Kurt: Yeah that's sounds good.

Sean: I miss you.

Kurt: I love you

Sean: :)

Kurt: What time will you be out from work?

Sean: Around 5. Hbu?

Kurt: Yeah. Around that time.

Sean: Good so i'll see u later.

Kurt: yeah.

Sean: Love u

Kurt: i love u too

Kurt places his phone back on his desk and continues working.
****
It was 4:55 p.m. and Kurt was getting ready to go home. Packing up his stuff, and putting on his coat. He turned off the lights. Thinking that he was the only person left. When he walked by the break room. He saw Blaine poring himself a cup of coffee. He was about to knock, but he stopped himself before things got too awkward between them. He went downstairs and waited for a taxi to arrive.

Blaine finished his coffee and grabbed his stuff also. Turning off the lights and heading downstairs. He saw Kurt getting into a cab and was too lazy to call his name. After all. He is married. Why did he ask him to go out with him. Ugh. I'm so stupid. He thought to himself. He walked home.

Kurt arrived at his building. Going up the elevator to his apartment. When he went in, he saw his husband dozing off. He's so cute when he is tired. I guess i shouldnt wake him. He thought to himself. He slowly lowered his husband from sitting on the couch to lying down. He took a blanket at covered him, in case he gets cold. He thought to himself again. He kissed him on the cheek, and ruffled his hair. Smiling and walked to the kitchen to eat something. When he was done. He washed the dishes and checked on Sean. Still sound asleep. And went upstairs to go to bed himself.
