(Five times Kurt knew he was straight, and one time he questioned his sexuality. Straight!Kurt (Kurt/Quinn) and one sided Klaine.) Basically I ship Klaine like you wouldn't even, so I hope no one is offended with completely changing Kurt's sexuality. It's all in the name of fiction, people, and that being said, this never happened and I don't own Glee.

When Kurt first meets Blaine, he sighs for two reasons: one, due to relief. Dalton is safe, Dalton is calm, Dalton could most definitely be Kurt's new school. He feels completely useless these days, like he's weak and small, and he fears that his father thinks these things too, but when he enters Dalton and sits down with Blaine and his two friends he feels... free. Karofsky isn't here; the "you're so clearly gay" looks aren't here, and he can be Kurt Hummel, finally. The second reason he sighs is because Blaine is just staring at him, like, right into him and it's creepy and flattering at the same time. Kurt meets his eyes and gives him a small smile, which Blaine returns in less than a second. It feels good to be surrounded by Blaine; he's clearly nice and shows he has talent which the New Directions needs to look out for. But he's a little too smiley and happy, especially when he was singing Teenage Dream which made him feel completely weird.

"Are you guys all gay?" He asks later, because he yes, has a slightly flamboyant way of dressing, and yes, his voice is kinda high for a boy, but no, he's not really that... comfortable with boys ogling over him. Kurt's fine with gay people - he's even met Rachel's dad's who were awesome, and they made the best salad ever at her party that his girlfriend dragged him along too - he's just sick of all the comments he's given. He's sick of the bullying. And he's sick of people telling him he doesn't deserve Quinn because she's hot and a cheerleader and whatever else they say about them.

"No. I mean, I am," Blaine starts, "but these two have girlfriends." Oh. He's got his eyes on Kurt again, like he's some male model and it's comforting for a minute. Kurt's confidence is somewhat smaller than Rachel's body: he's been bullied almost everyday of school, he gets slushied, he's constantly put down because of his voice and because he likes to sing. Quinn's the only girl whose ever really liked him, and that's totally enough for him, he loves her and everything but… sometimes it still feels like part of his confidence is missing a valuable and desired section. So when Blaine stares at him from across the table, he tells himself to be cool about it.

"Well, me too," Kurt smiles, sipping his coffee.

"You're gay?" Wes asks, casting a look at Blaine that pretty much screams "finally, my boy can have a boy." Blaine perks up, his eyebrows rising - and wow, they're really triangular, Kurt notices - and a small smile begins to form on his face.

"No, um, I'm straight," he laughs, "and I have a girlfriend." He feels weird saying it for some reason, though, and he doesn't know why.

Blaine now looks a little offended but gives him a comforting smile. "Kurt, you don't need to lie to us. We'll accept you, no matter who you are."

Kurt nods. "And I appreciate it, really. It's nice knowing a school exists where people aren't bullied based on what sets them apart from others," he tells them. "But... I'm straight."

The porcelain skinned boy feels awkward and out of place, and Wes and David are now exchanging glances and looks as if they're having some sort of telepathic conversation. Blaine slowly tilts his head. "Oh, oh, okay," he says. "I... I'm sorry I stereotyped you, Kurt. I really am. You probably get that enough."

"You have no idea," he lifts the styrofoam cup up in agreement.

"I just assumed you were and I'm... I'm sorry, honestly. Please, let me walk you to your car," Blaine offers, "as a way to show my apologies."

"Oh, that isn't needed-"

"Please," Blaine smiles.

Kurt's totally straight, but even he can't resist that smile.

"Nice car," Blaine comments, his eyes on the Navigator.

"Oh, thanks. My dad bought it for after I-" But he stops, that really won't help him defend his sexuality. "My dad bought it 'cause I'm awesome." And God, that was lame, and God, he's an idiot, and God, Kurt just wants to go shopping or something.

Blaine laughs, his face lights up before he pauses. "Kurt... In all seriousness, I think-"

"I'm straight, Blaine," Kurt interrupts.

"It's just... I was in denial too," the smaller boy says. "I let it build up and it just got to be too much one day and I pretty much exploded. I'm not saying that you're gay or that you have to be gay, I'm just saying that denial is never a good thing and that acceptance is more than okay. This world has four types of people when regarding same sex relationships: people who are, of course, gay, people who accept those who like the same sex, people who show their hate for gays, and people who pretend to be okay with it, when really they're just uncomfortable – no hate is generally felt. You need to figure which one you are Kurt, there are no shades of gray. " Blaine finishes his insanely deep and meaningful conversation which makes Kurt feel a little mediocre.

"Well…" Kurt starts, but he has no idea where he's going so he just gives up.

"You also need to figure out if this girlfriend (he says this a little too sarcastically and with a slight smirk) of yours is fact or fiction," Blaine smiles. "It was nice meeting you, Kurt. I hope you consider Dalton as the school to complete your education." And with that, Blaine leaves.

Kurt's still a little out of it after Blaine's speech, and when Blaine's taken a few feet back towards the school and away from the gate Kurt realises what the dark haired boy said. "Hey, my girlfriend's real! And she's hot!"
