I don't know where you're goin', or when you're comin' home
Who: Klaine
When: Late Saturday night.
Where: The BC.
Summary: Kurt finally figures out what Blaine's been hiding.
Warnings: Ugh everything. Ugly fighting, talkin' about drug use, sort-of-bordering-on-domestic-violence and yeah. Unpleasantness. 8(
'Just... it's the kinda thing guys do when they're up to somethin' real shady.'
Those words had repeated in Kurt's brain like a scratched CD ever since Kanji had spoke them, but he'd done everything he could to push them down, making excuse after excuse for Blaine's increasingly erratic behavior as it gradually worsened. The fight about money had been an off-color moment for both of them, he'd told himself, blaming himself entirely for the way Blaine had reacted that day. I've been too harsh on him. He's stressed. He has a lot on his plate. He's adjusting.
The more time passed, though, the more those excuses seemed to fall thin. After all, they'd both died on that day, and--and Kurt was fine, wasn't he? He thought he was fine, but then-- Blaine had seen me die, he reminded himself. How would I have reacted, if our roles had been reversed? If I had been the one to see-- Right.
It had been enough to calm his unease for the week after they'd made up, but those words were still there in the back of his mind. They grew especially loud when Kurt was alone in the apartment, cleaning the bedroom and stopping short of searching through Blaine's drawers, underneath the bed, the closet.
What would you even be looking for? he asked himself, and went about his business, easily distracted by the everyday goings-on of the Port.
When he finally found them, it had been an accident.
He'd been arranging things in the medicine cabinet, getting rid of old bottles and replacing them with new ones, and he'd came across a bottle marked 'ibuprofen'. The bottle wasn't full of ibuprofen, though. The pills looked wrong. He spilled a few into his hand, examining them, and bit his lip, confused.
It's just medicine or something. Maybe he got them and forgot to tell me. It's nothing. I'll just ask him and that'll be that. It'll be nothing.
Right.
He put the pills back and went about his business, walking into the bedroom to organize and make the bed, and he stopped near the chest of drawers. Before he could talk himself out of it again, he flew toward Blaine's drawer, tugging it open and searching wildly through it. Please please let there be nothing here, there's nothing, they were just medicine, it's--
His hand stopped cold when it brushed against a small box. Slowly he dragged it out, waiting and stalling as long as he could before opening it. When he saw what was inside he threw the box down as if it were a tarantula, springing back in horror.
Another bag of pills, a razor blade, and a mirror. Why. Why why why this isn't happening. This can't be happening. He stumbled out of the room and into the kitchen, downing two glasses of water. A good twenty minutes passed before he went back into the room to retrieve the box, and he tucked it carefully into his jacket and moved back into the living room.
Lowering himself onto the couch, he started to cry.

Lowering himself onto the couch, he started to cry.

He rubbed at his neck as he quietly came into the room and closed it. He was so thankful that he could come back here. It was comforting, with how crazy everything had been for him lately, that he could come back here.
He didn't notice Kurt at first, mostly because he thought everyone would be asleep, but Kurt was sitting on the couch right in front of him.
no subject
Or maybe not, he thought, his stomach falling away. Maybe everyone else knew and I was just too stupid to realize it.
Miserable, he sat there slumped until he heard the door open and straightened up. His stomach lifted from where it had fallen and twisted itself up into knots, and he tried to keep his composure. It wouldn't do to start freaking out first thing, especially if this were some sort of misunderstanding.
He prayed that it was. "Blaine. Welcome home."
no subject
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
no subject
Kurt got to his feet abruptly, needing to put space between him and Blaine. He took the box with him, and lifted it up as he turned to face his boyfriend at last.
"What the hell is this?"
no subject
"You've been looking through my things?" he asked after a moment, before realizing it would have been better to deny knowing what the box was.
no subject
He couldn't help it, though; he just felt so betrayed. How could Blaine do something like this, after everything they'd been through--
"That doesn't really seem like much of an infraction compared to what you've been hiding from me." He took another step back, clutching the box tightly. "How long, Blaine? Tell me how long."
no subject
He didn't want to do this. He couldn't think clearly and they had finally gotten back together after their horrible fight. He didn't want to have another one. This had to be some kind of horrible dream. He was too stunned by coming home and finding his secret laid out to react properly.
"I need them, okay? I was just so tired all of the time. They're the reason I've had so much energy lately. I needed them to work."
Of course, that's what he had told Kurt when Kurt had asked him about the money, that he had 'needed it to work'.
no subject
He walked over to the sink, opening the box as he went.
no subject
There was that panic again. That panic making him react in anger.
no subject
no subject
He didn't even consider that he might have unbalanced Kurt with the shove.
no subject
He forced himself into action, thinking quickly, and ran for the sink again. Grabbing onto Blaine's arm, he tried to pull him back, or at least impede him long enough for the pills to roll down the drain.
It worked, at least for a moment. A few pills disappeared down the drain, though plenty still rolled free.

no subject
Despite the fact that his body was aching, he still pushed himself to his feet--but instead of moving toward the sink he walked to the bathroom instead. Determinedly he grabbed the bottle of pills from the cabinet and unscrewed the lid, intending to dump this one out as well.
no subject
no subject
"Things hurt?" he echoed, his voice shrill and cracking. "You think things don't hurt for me too? For anyone else?"
He unscrewed the cap and dumped the bottle's contents down the toilet, flushing them down. Then he moved toward Blaine, holding out his hand. It was shaking wildly, and Kurt realized it wasn't just from anger-- It was from fear.
"Give them to me."
no subject
He was about to run. His body was already turning to leave. He didn't care that he didn't really have anywhere to go or that it might be dangerous to leave. He didn't want to stay here and let Kurt lay down the one thing he was trying to hide.
no subject
"Were you high then?" he asked, tears streaming down his face. "When we-- All those times? Were you high, Blaine?"
no subject
no subject
"Don't you dare run away."

"You said you regretted running away," he said softly, almost a whisper.

"Give them over and I'll get rid of them, and we can talk about this. We can work it out. Okay?"

Never this.
Kurt stepped forward, reaching for Blaine's hand, trying to take the pills. He needed them gone. Once they were gone and out of the picture, he could calm down, approach this rationally-- He couldn't do that when Blaine was standing there holding something he couldn't understand, something so simple and evil, something he'd been lying about for God knows how long.
no subject
He wanted Kurt away from him, to not be grabbing at him or trying to take away the pills. He needed space so that he could keep them, or for Kurt to be away from the door so that he could run away from facing the truth.
no subject
Too shocked to be aware of the pain in his hands, he just pushed himself up and looked wildly over at Blaine, both horrified and heartbroken.
Silence had fallen, horrible and earsplitting, and Kurt's voice wouldn't have been audible if it hadn't.
"Blaine...?"
no subject
He dropped the pills, letting them fall onto the carpet, and then runs. He can't even bring himself to check on Kurt, too ashamed to face any of this.
The Darkness is bound to be better than this.
no subject
He stared down at his hands, cut up and red with blood, and realized he was shaking violently. Vaguely it occurred to him that he ought to wash out the wounds and bind them, but he couldn't bring himself to care enough to even get off the floor.
It was so, so easy for him to fall in love. It had often gotten him into trouble in the past, and Blaine was no exception--but Blaine had ended up being different. Blaine had loved him back. At first Kurt had walked on eggshells, inherently frightened of losing what he was half-convinced was another one of his daydreams, ready to end at any second. A day became a month, though, and then another, and--and Kurt had started to believe that maybe his heart wouldn't break this time.
Tears beaded in his eyes and spilled over his cheeks, and he let out a tiny, miserable sob. He curled up right there on the kitchen floor and broke down, surrounded by broken glass inside and out.
