Kurt finally decided to call Blaine back, after worrying over their previous phone call and dealing with more of Rachel's comments. He called, listening to the phone ring.

Blaine was lying in bed, hungry, when his phone rang. He jumped up and scrambled across the mattress to grab at the electronic, knocking it to the floor. He dove for it and picked it up, staring at the display for a moment, seeing Kurt's name there, not that he hadn't known, his ringtone was Blackbird. After a second, he hit answer with a shaking hand and lifted it to his ear. "Kurt?" he whispered, like he thought it might not actually be him.

"Hey," Kurt said, voice quiet, "I hope it's okay that I called..."

Blaine nodded frantically before finding his voice. "Yeah, it's fine. I-I wasn't busy." His heart was in his throat. He had been so close to just accepting that Kurt was never going to call him again. But if he was calling back, that meant he'd probably want to talk about Eli. Blaine would do his best to answer Kurt without argument this time and hope that that would be enough.

"I wasn't sure if you'd even answer, after the other day," Kurt admitted, biting his lip. He really did want to know more about the other guy.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." To what? What had he even done? Blaine didn't know how to finish his sentence, but he couldn't leave it hanging like that, either. "Keep stuff from you," he finally said, echoing what Kurt had said the other day. At least that was an offense he could name.

"You... You could always tell me now," Kurt suggested, cooly, trying not to start another argument.

Blaine frowned, face crumpling. He'd tried before. Maybe with an attitude, but he'd tried, and Kurt had hung up. "Well, you could always ask me," he replied, biting his tongue afterwards, irritated that he'd been short. He didn't want to put Kurt on edge, to make him angry again.

"I have asked you, Blaine," Kurt replied, "And you kept avoiding the question." He knew his voice was probably a little hard, sharp with annoyance and frustration.

"Which question?" Blaine begged. "Kurt, I don't know what you want me to tell you." His heart was tight, Kurt was going to get angry again. Why couldn't he just do this right? "Please, ask me again, then, because I don't know."

Kurt sighed, "Why, Blaine? /Why/ did you do it?"
Kurt knew it wasn't an easy question to answer, but he felt like there had to be an answer.

Oh. Blaine was quiet, probably for too long. Kurt wanted to know why. Blaine didn't know. How could he answer, when he didn't know? It wasn't like he'd wanted to do it. He was lonely and hurting, but how could he say that without Kurt taking it as a deflection or Blaine putting the blame on him? "I..."

"Blaine?" Kurt asked, impatient. He really didn't want to be pushy or mean, but his own anxiety was getting to him.

"I..." Blaine sniffed and bit his lip. "I don't know, Kurt. It just happened. I didn't mean to, I only went over to talk to him, and then I ended up staying the weekend. I don't know what to tell you, I'm sorry. I don't know why." He held his breath, listening hard for Kurt's response. Please don't be angry, please don't be angry...

"You were at his place for an entire /weekend/?" Kurt asked, incredulous. He had thought it was a one time thing, but a whole weekend?
