Boundaries
It was a normal day at McKinley, things have certainly changed since last year, and now, with a chance of a new start, the Glee Club was very optimistic. The choir room was running wildly when Mr. Schue arrived, Rachel was arguing with Finn; Santanna was all over Puck and Kurt and Mercedes were just looking at the other Glee clubbers.
"Boundaries. Who can tell me what that means?" Rachel looked at her fellow glee clubbers and stated:
"It's all about pushing yourself to the edge and doing things that challenge you."
"Right, Rachel… Your assignment for this week is to push your boundaries and do things you're not used to."
Everybody just stood there not knowing what to do; Rachel was pairing with Finn when Mr. Schue stated that if she wanted to go different she couldn't pair up with Finn, what made her obviously mad, Kurt was talking to Mercedes when suddenly someone called his name. He turned around to see a smiley blond guy.
"Hey Kurt… Mercedes."
"Oh, hey Sam."
"Yo!" Mercedes nodded.
"Can I talk to you, Kurt?"
"Sure..." Mercedes said goodbye and went to talk to Mr. Schuster. "What can I do for you?"
"I was thinking if you could help me with my song…"
"Umm, what do you have in mind?"
"I've considered show tunes…" He let out a small smile and Kurt put a large grin on his face.
"Well, other than Rachel, I'm your best option…"
They laughed and settled their partnership with a grin. They spent all the time arguing about songs, and Kurt couldn't help but notice the other boy's eyes, they were so clean and bright, he felt like he could read Sam's soul, but there was no malice on it.
During lunch Quinn and Sam sat together. "So, what you're doing?" She asked.
"Hum, Kurt's helping me with some show tunes. That reminds me, we have an appointment after school."
"Oh, okay…" She sighed. "Call me when you're done."
"Kay…" He kissed her and watched as she went away. After school Sam drove to the Hummel/Hudson house, he knocked on the door when Finn came out. "Oh, hey man."
"Oh, hi Finn. Listen, is Kurt home?" He seemed indifferent.
"Yeah, he's waiting for you… Our bedroom is downstairs… I'll be at Rachel, you guys are alone, so don't touch anything in his closet, I won't be here to save you…" They both laughed.
"Sure, tell Rach I said hi."
Sam slowly went downstairs, Kurt was making Finn's bed; the blond boy knocked on the door. "Kurt, are you here?"
"Oh! You scared me, Samuel. Sorry, I was making Finn's bed… If it wasn't for me this room would be a constant mess." He frowned. Sam grinned.
"It's okay, dude… So, can we start?"
"Sure, let me just… What do you have in mind?"
"I chose Ladies Choice, from Hairspray." He rubbed his forehead as Kurt made funny facial expressions that made him wonder if he had done something wrong. "What?"
"Umm, nothing…" Kurt rolled his eyes. "Really…"
"You didn't like, did you?"
"It's original..."
"What's wrong with it?"
"It's a funny song…"
"But…?"
"Ladies Choice? Can you ever be more arrogant than that?"
"I don't know…"
"Look, most important is for you to find something that makes you comfortable…"
"No… The point is to do something different… I'll find something on my own, don't worry…" Kurt felt a little hurt, but Sam didn't seemed like he was mad or something. Kurt sighed.
"Well, I guess our friendship ends here… I mean our partnership…" Sam stared at the brunette for a second and said with a smile: "I don't think so…"
"What you mean?"
"I still need your help."
"You do?"
"Yes! I need help with French and I heard you're excellent…"
"Well, Merci…"
"You welcome."
"Just tell me… Why didn't you ask Quinn for help? She's a straight A student."
"Because… It feels kinda awkward. I don't want her to think I'm stupid, it'd lead her to dump me…"
"That would make her the stupid one…"
"What?"
"Nothing…"
"Kurt Hummel, are you saying I worth something?" Sam was smiling, he loved to tease Kurt.
"Maybe… But don't get too cocky."
"Okay."
"So, since we're not doing show tunes anymore, what do you wanna do?"
"How do you like Avatar?"
"Sam..."
"Relax, I'm just kidding. Quinn made me promise I would only watch Avatar twice a month."
"Wow, that's what I call power…" Sam blushed and Kurt laughed of how silly he was.
They kept talking for two hours and suddenly Kurt asked: "What was the first thing you've said to Quinn?" Sam spotted Kurt's eyes and how they changed from blue to a deep tone of green.
"Lor Manari"
"Um, what that means?"
"You have pretty eyes" Kurt tried to keep his face from turning red.
"That's sweet… She must've loved it."
"Hum?"
"Quinn… We were just talking about her…"
"Oh, right… Quinn… Oh my God, Quinn… I forgot… I have to go."
"Okay, but don't get too stressed… We don't want any accidents."
"Thanks, it was fun." Sam was about to leave when Kurt grabbed his arm.
"I'm free tomorrow. Bring your French books and get ready to work. We won't be playing around like today." Sam laughed and said goodbye.
He was late when he met Quinn. "Sorry, I'm late…"
"I thought you'd be done by an hour ago…" She sighed hard. "So how was it?"
"It was fun. I got Kurt to help me with French."
"Congratulations. You just got the best teacher at McKinley."
He smiled. "So let's go to your house?" She nodded. The night wasn't so pleasant, they have decided that was Quinn's night, Friday was Sam's night, but it didn't end very well; Quinn was pissed cuz Sam slept during their movie session, in the middle of Titanic, but he couldn't help, he was tired and it got boring.
On the next day, right after, class Kurt saw Sam near his locker and decided to go there and ask about French, but Sam was on the phone. "I-I know Quinn… But… That's not what I said… Fine!" he was so into the fight he didn't even notice Kurt.
"Hey Sam…"
"Kurt!" he gasped. "You came from nowhere."
"Sorry if I scared you. Umm, I couldn't help but notice you were yelling into your phone… Is everything okay?"
"Yes, it was just Quinn… She's mad at me for no reason at all…"
"Right"
"Can we go?"
"You're still going?"
"Of course; besides Quinn blew me off today, so…"
They went to the Hummel/Hudson house and started to study before Finn interrupts them. "Hum, Kurt, Blaine wants to see you."
"Bring him in." In the moment Blaine came in he kept staring at Sam. "Blaine… Umm, this is Sam Evans… Sam, this is Blaine." Sam shook his hand and smiled gently but something seemed to be upsetting Blaine.
"Kurt, can I talk to you in private?"
"I… Guess… Sam keep practicing, I'll be right back." Blaine was nervous and that was making Kurt nervous too. "What's wrong?"
"Kurt, I've made my mind… Remember when you said you liked me and I said I just want to be friends? Well… I realize that I like you and it took time for me to see that, but I did… I like you" Kurt was speechless, it was very confusing; first Blaine seemed to be sending all those signs, but he just wanted to be friends and now suddenly he likes me? He thought.
"Oh, Blaine that's… That's sweet, but I think you were right… The best thing for us is to stay friends."
"But I thought-"
"I like you Blaine, I really do… But now that I analyze our situation, you're important to me but…"
"You like this Sam, don't you?"
"What? I'm just helping him… Besides he has a girlfriend."
"If you say so…"
"Look Blaine, the last thing I want is to destroy our friendship… I care about you."
"I think I can live with that, but if you ever change your mind…" Both of them had a large grin on their faces. Blaine didn't want to stay, but their conversation took an hour and Sam just stood there waiting. After the first half hour he started to feel different things; first he felt bored, then he felt a little worried, then he felt a little mad at Blaine for stealing his time to learn French; in the end he felt nothing, tried not to think about it.
"I'm sorry Sam… But I'm back!" He jumped a little off his seat. "Wow! You always scare me, coming from nowhere…"
"What can I say…? I love surprising people." Kurt said with giggles.
"So, how was it? I mean, is your boyfriend okay? I just had a fight with my girlfriend today and… We're not in the same boat, are we?"
"No. Especially because Blaine's not my boyfriend…" Kurt said directly as his face turned to a vivid tone of pink.
"Kurt, you're blushing…" The jock smiled secretively.
"I'm just… This is embarrassing…" It's cute, Sam thought.
"It's fine, but you like him, don't you?"
"I don't know… I think I did… or…"
"Well, I think he likes you…"
"Yeah, I know that now…"
"Oh. So he… He said he likes you?"
"Yes, but… This has nothing to do with French."
"Fine." Sam smiled and Kurt unsuccessfully tried to contain a smile. They spent hours studying French and occasionally talking about other things, it was quite a good time and it helped Sam forget about his fight with Quinn. He was about to leave when Finn came in.
"Hey Sam."
"Hi, Finn."
"Listen, you're here and I'm crazy to play Halo… Why don't you stay here tonight?" Kurt opened his mouth in perfect O shape, he tried to speak but nothing came out.
"I-I don't know… Let me just call my mom…"
"Kay" Kurt gave Finn a hatred look and Finn smiled.
"Okay, I think I can stay."
"Awesome… Wanna play some Halo?
"Sure… I'm gonna kick your ass."
"You wish, dude."
"Let's see" They were leaving the room when Finn talked to Kurt.
"You come?"
"I think I can watch"
"Good." Kurt sat by himself and saw the two boys play; Finn was good, but Sam was a machine, Finn suddenly asked for help. "Hey Kurt, what's that secret move you showed me?"
"Wait; secret move? Kurt, you play Halo?" Sam was stunned by the idea of Kurt playing Halo.
"Not actually. Finn needs company when Rachel's pissed, so I've done a couple times…" Finn started to chuckle.
"You kidding? Kurt's the bomb, awesome."
"Finn!" Kurt punched Finn in the knee.
"If that's true, you have to play some, Kurt…"
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"C'mon…"
"Ok, it won't hurt much."
The next morning Burt had to leave very early, so Carol was in charge. Finn had breakfast and they kept talking.
"What happened to Kurt and this… Sam…? They just spent the whole morning arguing."
"You're not gonna believe this… Last night we were playing Halo and K. kicked Sam's ass; it was hilarious."
"Really? Wait. Kurt can play video games?"
"He's the best I've seen so far."
"Isn't Sam Quinn's boyfriend?"
"Yeah. Why you ask?"
"Nothing…"
"All right." He finished and called the other two, they went to school and it was even more funny at Glee club. Finn told everyone about the Halo marathon, they were all giggles. That day Sam started to realize that being around Kurt and Finn made him popular, not for the entire school, but for those who really matter, his real friends. That week, Sam Evans had pushed some boundaries and it felt good as never.
