A/N: This is an AU in which Kurt is close with Jeff.

I do not own Glee or any of its characters.

"You're going out tonight?" Burt asked, looking up at Kurt from beneath the hood of the car he was tinkering with.

"Yeah! Remember-"

"Oh, right! The Sound of Music Sing-Along. You said you're going with Blaine?" Burt asked, looking back down at the engine.

"No. No, Dad. I'm going with Jeff," Kurt sighed.

"Who's Jeff? I thought you were dating Blaine," Burt said, looking up at Kurt. Kurt shook his head and heaved a frustrated sigh. He knew his dad could be forgetful, but oh my god. Was he not paying attention to a word Kurt had said earlier?

"I am dating Blaine. Jeff is a friend of ours. He's a Warbler, too. The Sing-Along isn't really Blaine's thing. But Jeff likes it. So we decided we'd go together," Kurt explained.

"Oh. So this kid is a friend of yours."

"Exactly. And I'm supposed to meet him at the theater in ten minutes. Which means I need to get a move on," Kurt said.

"Right. Get out of here. I'll see you tomorrow." Burt sighed. Kurt nodded, said his goodbye, and then rushed out of the shop. Burt watched him go and just shook his head. He wasn't sure what exactly he'd been hoping for. Maybe he wanted Jeff to be more than a friend. At least then thatboy would be out of the picture.

"Hey! I was afraid you weren't going to show!" Jeff called out, grinning as he jogged over to Kurt. Kurt just rolled his eyes and slid out of his car.

"Like I'd miss the Sing-Along," Kurt grinned. Kurt gave Jeff a light shove and the two of them headed into the theater. Kurt laughed and sang with the blond Warbler, forgetting completely about everything else going on in his life. For just a couple of hours, he could come in here and just get lost in the show, the music. And he had a friend to share it with.

Jeff was probably the best friend he had at this point. He was one of the few people in his life that knew everything that was going on. Not to mention that amazing ability to make Kurt laugh like no one else could. Jeff just had a way of making one forget their problems for a little while, and Kurt was perfectly okay with that. Sometimes, forgetting was exactly what Kurt needed.

After the show, Jeff walked Kurt to his car. The two were laughing about something related to the show. Grinning, Jeff opened Kurt's door for him and Kurt climbed in, thanking him. The two shared their goodbyes and left.

Later that night, Jeff woke to his phone. He glanced over at the clock, and then he wondered to himself who the hell would be texting him at two in the morning. He flipped his phone open and was surprised to find that it was Kurt.

Hey Jeff. I'm sorry. I know it's late. I just need someone to talk to. Can we meet up?

"Damn it, Blaine. What did you do this time, asshole?" He sent a quick text to Kurt, saying that he'd meet him at a small park nearby in a bit. He tugged on clothes and rushed off to meet Kurt.

Kurt was already at the park, sitting on a swing. His eyes were puffy from crying, and he rubbed at them, wishing it weren't so obvious. He hated how he looked when he had been crying. He was such a mess right now. He looked up as he saw Jeff approaching him. Jeff walked towards him, hands in his pockets. He took a seat on the swing next to Kurt. He put a hand over Kurt's.

"You alright?" Jeff asked gently.

"Not really," Kurt sighed.

"What happened?" Jeff asked.

"Well," Kurt sighed. "We… I don't know. One conversation led to another and the next thing I know, we're arguing. And then he's saying that we should split up." Tears began to fall and Kurt tried to wipe them away, but they just kept flowing.

"Shhhh. Just let it out," Jeff stood and pulled Kurt to his feet, wrapping his arms around him. Kurt buried his face in Jeff's chest and sobbed. Jeff rubbed his back, whispering to Kurt that everything was going to be just fine.

"No," Kurt said, shaking his head. "I think this is really it. I think it's over. I messed it up." Kurt sobbed harder, and Jeff sighed.

"Kurt, he's the one that broke up with you. He's obviously an idiot, and you deserve so much better than that."

"I don't. I screw up everything."

"No, you don't. You're amazing."

Kurt sniffled and looked up at Jeff. Jeff smiled and wiped the tears from Kurt's eyes, wishing that Kurt's eyes weren't so red and puffy. Kurt had such a beautiful eyes, but more often than not, lately, he only got to see them swollen from crying.

"He's an idiot. He doesn't deserve you," Jeff repeated, looking at Kurt. Kurt just stared up into Jeff's eyes. Kurt's face was just inches from Jeff's, and Jeff was suddenly overwhelmed by Kurt's scent. How fragile he felt in his arms. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to know. He gently pressed his lips to Kurt's, whose lips parted without resistance. Jeff closed his eyes, kissing Kurt deeply.

He pulled back, suddenly, saying, "Oh god, Kurt. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

Kurt looked up at Jeff with wide eyes, unsure of what to say or do next. Jeff shook his head, closing his eyes as he rubbed his hands over his face. He looked back at Kurt and said, "I'm so-" His apology was cut off as Kurt crushed his lips to Jeff's, wrapping his arms around Jeff's neck. Kurt gave Jeff a long, slow kiss before pulling back and asking, "Did you feel it?"

"Feel what?" Jeff asked.

"Fireworks." Kurt whispered.
