The crisp New York air hung around Kurt and Blaine as they walked through the park. Kurt was used to it now that he lived here. Blaine on the other hand was bundled up in his familiar peacoat, hands in his pockets to keep warm.
They walked in silence together. Kurt listened to the rapping of their shoes against the pavement. He saw in the distance the horse drawn carriages being pulled around taking couples, families and tourists around the park. With the fall air and the dim lights of the lamp posts, it was romantic and beautiful.
"We should do that." Kurt said out loud.
"Huh?" Blaine looked up from the floor at Kurt. He had been distant all during their double date with Finn and Rachel.
"The horse carriages, the ones that go through the park," Kurt motioned to them across the park. "I was saying we should do that at least once on your trip here, what about tomorrow?"
"Don't you have class tomorrow?" Blaine said keeping in step with him.
"You're in town this week, silly! I can skip one class." Kurt linked his arm through Blaine's, who stiffened.
Blaine stopped on the path and gently untucked Kurt's arm from him, placing it back at Kurt's side. Kurt looked at him, cocking his head to the side.
"You are going to miss class tomorrow? You missed it last week to have our Skype date. You didn't turn in your editorial pieces to the fashion company on time two weeks ago because I kept you up all night on the phone." Blaine looked at Kurt seriously.
"You…you haven't gone to any events or parties with you company because you're afraid you might miss our nightly phone call. I mean, Kurt, you…you almost put off COMING to New York this year because I was a senior."
Kurt looked at him puzzled, he laced his hands together nervously, "I…I never get to see you, with us being so far apart. So whenever I can hear your voice or see you on Skype, I want to."
Blaine looked at the ground, "I feel like you're putting too much on hold for me. It's like you're not experiencing New York while you're here."
Kurt's eyebrows came together, "I want US to experience New York together, when you come next year we can look at everything then."
"Kurt…" Blaine said full of emotion.
"What? Why are you saying my name like that?" Kurt felt a panic in his voice.
"Kurt, I think we need to take a break."
Shock rode Kurt's face and he snapped his neck back as if to make sure he knew what he heard. Blaine continued.
"I feel like you're not doing what your destined to do because of me. I'm in Lima Kurt. I'm in Lima every day and we never see each other. You should be out living your life, free in New York and I should be enjoying my senior year but instead you're willing to jeopardize your new job and your chance at a new life for me."
Kurt placed his hand to his mouth, "Blaine, Are you saying…? You don't want this Blaine, we love each other! Distance doesn't matter, none of it matters as long as we are together!"
Blaine looked at the ground. "Kurt, I will always love you. You were my first boyfriend, my first love…"
"Oh my God." Kurt felt like he was spinning. "Blaine. Blaine please don't do this."
"I want us to see other people Kurt, I'm sorry."
Kurt's tears started falling now, "You promised! That you would always love me! Remember!? You said that we belonged together!"
Blaine looked at Kurt fighting back his own tears, "Kurt It's best that we do this now than prolong…"
"Stop it! Just stop it!" Kurt said bursting into more flowing tears. He walked away blinded by the tears on his face. It wasn't until the next morning when he woke up in tear stained pillow that he realized Blaine never followed after him.
