Emmett listened to the younger male attentively as he worked on polishing glasses. He knew too well what he was going through he felt it with Drew and now with Ted, it wasn’t a good feeling. He let him talk for a little while before responding. He gave him a sympathetic look. “Well have you try maybe going to him. Sometimes a surprise visit and a lovely gift could help mend things. He suggested or you could make him something that might be more special maybe write him a song.” He suggested as he remembered Blaine’s mention of their connection with music. “ He looked over at him. “Well why don’t I drive you home, hun? It’s getting pretty late.” He offered.

"I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.  I mean, he won’t even reply to a text message.”  God, he wanted to.  Even thought about it.  Then his nerves would get the best of him and he’d tell himself it was one of the worst things he could do if he wanted to get Kurt to listen.  Knowing him like he did?  Every sign said he wanted to be alone.  Blaine was doing a so-so job listening because he’d end up not able to think or sleep until he gave it another shot.  He was trying so damn hard that he knew it was part of the problem.  If he didn’t rein it in? He was only going to push Kurt away further.  It just wasn’t in him to give up. Not yet.  Home?  He wasn’t done yet.  Not with a head full of thoughts that the alcohol didn’t succeed in drowning.  Some of them really knew how to swim. Emmett was right though.  Hours flew by.  In hindsight?  More of them were spent rambling.  Plus side?  No hangover.  Downside?  Still thinking. Relenting with a groan, Blaine slid off his chair and lifted both hands.  “Sure.. Thanks, Emmett,” he smiled gratefully, “and thanks for putting up with my problems. You could have told me to shut up. I wouldn’t have blamed you.”

Blaine sat the bar with his drink in one hand.  The other tapped his fake I.D. against the countertop.  He knew conversations with bartenders could end up with loose lips saying way more than the person doing the brain dumping should dish out to the poor guy behind the bar only doing his job.  He’d like to think that he was above being one of the wine-o’s that his few trips here had him listening to from the sidelines.  Nope.  Today he was one of them.  Emmett was just forced to take the brunt of it.  They’d talked before but not like this.  Tonight, Emmett was seeing a side of him after half a dozen phone calls went straight to Kurt’s voicemail.  He shouldn’t be drinking. That was only going to make it worse.  The drink he had was a bad idea. Common sense didn’t matter apparently.

“I don’t know what the truth is.  You’re asking me if I’m still in love with someone I never imagined being out of love with.  Yes.  I know he hates me.  I don’t blame him.  I just wish there was something I could do but I’m starting to think there isn’t.  I guess that’s your answer.”
