First day of senior year and nothing had changed. Kurt walked into the McKinley halls looking for Mercedes and Artie after a jock already trash canned him—but what else was new? He'd finished putting more cologne on from his locker then checked Mercedes' locker to find her and Artie. "Kurt!" Kurt walked up to them smiling. "I missed you!" Mercedes locked him into a tight hug.
"I missed you too, Mercedes. I also missed my wheelchair boy." Kurt leaned in for a hug and Artie smiled, hugging him in return.
"So what are your guys' classes?" Artie asked; pushing up the bridge of his glasses.
Kurt looked down at his schedule, "I have Biology…"
"Tight! I do too!"
"Aw, I have History, but it's cool. I think Shane has that class." Kurt and Artie smiled at her for comfort. Their conversation was cut short when they saw none other than Blaine walking down the hall with his brown leather bag over his right shoulder, hair gel, red and blue bow tie - and looking cute as ever. Kurt watched him walk down the hall, not taking his eyes off of him. Mercedes and Artie laughed quietly at his obviousness.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You still have a crush on him, Kurt?" Mercedes asked slyly.
Kurt looked down and played with his bag strap and said shyly, ""Yeah…"
"Kurt, It's been three years—"
"You need to do something about it," Mercedes cut Artie off.
"Like what?"
"Like, talk to him. Ask him out."
"Mercedes, I can't just talk to him. He doesn't even know I exist! And how am I supposed to talk to him? Let alone ask him out…" Artie and Mercedes looked at each other and Artie rolled up closer to Kurt.
"You need to have confidence in yourself. Also, I'm pretty sure he at least knows you exist because you are the only openly gay kid at the school and that takes a lot of strength to be where you are right now in your life. Besides it's your senior year, don't you want to make it memorable?"
Kurt thought about how him and Blaine dating; having a wonderful life together. They could spend it together in New York… with children. Whoa, okay maybe a little too far. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"And we'll help you out through it," Mercedes said and the bell rang immediately after.
…
Kurt and Artie were in the cafeteria next to a window close to the corner while they waited for Mercedes. After she had a small chat and kisses with Shane, she walked up to their table, "Hey guys! How are your classes going so far?" They both said, "Fine" and Kurt picked at his lunch. "Boy, you betta' eat," Mercedes said demandingly.
"I'm not that hungry."
"What's wrong?" Kurt tried his hardest to get Blaine to notice him, but nothing worked. He tried everything he had done before but there was no better outcome.
"Kurt, what's wrong?" Artie repeated Mercedes' words, worried.
"I tried to get Blaine to notice me and I literally tried everything! I really did! But nothing ever works…" Mercedes rested her hand on his back to comfort him.
"Don't worry. It's still the first day AND you still have the rest of the day to try."
"Takes time, Kurt," Artie smiled, but Kurt didn't even look up at him. Kurt stayed quiet and looked around the cafeteria, waiting for the love of his life to walk in. Rachel and Blaine walked in holding hands and waving to everyone like they were the royal couple of England. Kurt rested his head on his hand and dreamily stared at Blaine.
"There he is, dreamy as ever." Mercedes and Artie let him have his moment and ignore the couple waving. Blaine looked in Kurt's direction; catching him staring. Kurt thought he was dreaming but noticed he was actually looking at him. Blaine smiled and winked at Kurt, making his eyes go wide and his whole heat up from the embarrassment. "Oh my god, Blaine just smiled and winked at me…"
Mercedes and Artie looked at him with confusion. "Are you sure it just wasn't your imagination?" Artie asked with his mouth full.
"He really did look at you. You're blushing like mad!" Mercedes stared at Kurt then a smile started to spread across her face.
"He noticed me… He noticed me!" Kurt whispered, smiling widely and blushing still. Kurt and Mercedes bounced in their seats and gave each other hugs.
"So does this mean you're actually going to talk to him?!" Artie wondered excitedly.
Kurt looked over at Blaine and smiled "Yeah… that's exactly what it means."
…
The end of lunch rolled around and Kurt wandered to his 5th period class and sat in his normal seat, the middle table on the right side of the classroom—he liked to get to his classes early so he wouldn't have to be stuck next to Stoner Brett or Jacob Ben Israel. Baine walked in and sat at the other table across from Kurt. He felt heat rise to his cheeks and pretended to write in his notebooks to look busy. "I saw you looking at me earlier today" Blaine said, taking out his books; waiting for an answer from Kurt. Kurt sat there with his cheeks red; speechless. "I don't think it was weird or anything… I thought it was… actually really cute. I was also wondering if you would want to hang out some time…" Kurt's heart felt like it was beating out of his chest and was about to explode into millions of pieces.
"Y-Yeah, of course. That sounds great." Blaine and Kurt looked at each other and smiled; not wanting to look away. The bell rang and a crowd of kids came walking in and took their seats. Kurt looked away but he couldn't stop smiling. Blaine couldn't look away from the gorgeous boy, until the teacher walked and made an announcement to the class.
"Good afternoon." During their History class, they shared smiles and winks which give Kurt butterflies. Was Blaine Anderson flirting with Kurt Hummel?
…
Right after class, Kurt ran to go find Finn. Finn didn't care that Kurt was his brother; he supported him every way possible by helping him with NYADA and supporting him by telling him that he should go after Blaine. This is why Kurt loved having Finn as a step-brother, because he was also a best friend. "Finn. Finn!" Kurt called out his name when he saw him at his locker. He ran to him with excitement and a smile on his face. "Hey. What's up, little bro?"
"Guess what just happened?!" He stopped in front of the tall boy and didn't let him speak.
"You—"
"Blaine just asked me if I wanted to hang out some time!"
"Wow. Congratulations, bro!" Finn hugged Kurt and he quickly hugged him back tightly.
"So, what happened? How did it start?" They let go and Finn held on to Kurt's upper arms.
"Well, at lunch, I was watching him walk in the cafeteria with Rachel and somehow he saw me and he smiled the winked at me. Then in History he asked if I wanted to hang out. And, of course, I said yes!"
Finn smiled and was happy to see his step-brother finally happy. "Wow, Kurt. I'm so happy for you. Just be careful, alright?"
"Thanks, Finn." Kurt saw Mercedes and Artie walking down the hall. "Oh I'm gonna go tell Artie and Mercedes." Kurt smiled and Finn nodded his head with a smile. "Bye, Finn!" Kurt ran down the hall towards them and told them everything. Both had big smiles on their faces and gave each other hugs then began walking to class together. They saw Blaine and Rachel walking down the hall with every student making room for them to walk. Blaine smiled at Kurt behind Rachel's back and Kurt smiled right back at him shyly.
"Blainey bear, what are you looking at?" Rachel asked, holding his hand and getting his attention by popping her boobs up with her chest. Blaine wasn't exactly sure if he liked girls or not…
When he was with Rachel, he felt like he didn't belong there, but when he looked at boys on the internet or watched "those movies," he felt himself wanting that instead of what girls have. Maybe talking to the beautiful porcelain doll he's seen a couple of times over the years will help him make a decision on what his sexuality will be. Even though he already feels that he might know what it's going to be just by getting a glance at Kurt… "Blaine?" He looked over to her, forgetting where he was.
"Y-Yeah?"
"What were you smiling at?"
"Nothing!" he responded quickly. "It—It was nothing…"
Rachel smiled and laid her head against Blaine's arm. Kurt overheard their conversation and wondered why Blaine acted so suspicious. Was Blaine trying to hide something? Was he hiding that he might hang out with Kurt? Did Blaine find out about Kurt's crush for him and now is just messing with him? There's only one way to figure out… talk to him.
