DISCLAIMER: I don't own Glee

A few more weeks after the whole make-out incident, Quinn Fabray walked up to Brittany after Cheerio's practice- and it wasn't to make fun of her.

"Hey, you're a pretty good Cheerio, I just wanted to know if you'd like to be friends." The head cheerleader said. Brittany was slightly suspicious about Quinn's sudden change of heart, since she'd never actually done so much as given Brittany a sideways glance before, but Brittany took her up on her offer anyway and the two became friends.

And then there was Santana.

Brittany hadn't really noticed the Latina girl before, she knew she was friends with Quinn, but they'd never really spoken to each other. But now, Brittany was friends with Quinn and Quinn was friends with Santana, and that meant that Santana and Brittany we're going to be friends too.

They didn't hit it off straight away, not exactly, Santana found Brittany annoying because of her 'lack of intelligence' and Brittany didn't appreciate it very much when Santana insulted her and treated her like an idiot (she soon found out that Santana treated everyone like an idiot though, even Quinn sometimes, so that didn't become such a big deal) but the two worked it out and eventually became closer to each other than the two of them were with Quinn, and Quinn didn't really seem to notice.

"Brittany, are you going to join the Glee Club or not?" Kurt asked her one day at lunch, Brittany would usually sit with the Cheerio's and Kurt would sit with his new found friends in the Glee Club, but Kurt had specifically asked for Brittany to sit with him today, probably so they could have this chat.

"I'm going to audition with Quinn and Santana." She replied, "we've called ourselves the Unholy Trinity."

Kurt stared at her for a few seconds and nodded, "okay, so are you coming to my house after your Cheerio's practice today?" He asked. Brittany shook her head, "sorry, can't, I'm hanging out with Santana."

Kurt's smile disappeared, "well what about tomorrow?" Brittany looked down at her salad, not wanting to see the hurt on her old best friend's face.

"I'm hanging out with Santana." She said, "again."

"The weekend?" Kurt said hopefully.

"Maybe next week." Brittany suggested, getting up with her uneaten salad and moving over to the Cheerio's table to sit with Quinn and Santana. Kurt watched her curiously, noticing how the blonde Cheerio sat as close to Santana as she possible could while staying on her own chair.

"Hey, Kurt, come sit with us!" He heard Mercedes call, he got up and carried his tray of food over to the Glee Club's table, and zoned out as Rachel Berry started to go on and on about what they could preform for Sectionals.

"Brittany, are we still friends?"

"Yes."

"The why don't you ever want to come to my house anymore? I had to practically beg you to come today."

"You see me in Glee Club now, and I want to spend time with Santana."

Kurt stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly everything clicked.

"Are you and Santana dating?" He asked seriously.

"No. Sex isn't dating." Brittany said without thinking.

"You and Santana are sleeping together?" Kurt said in disbelief.

"Maybe." Brittany mumbled, regretting what she'd said.

"That's why you're always spending time with her!" Kurt said triumphantly, "I got kinda worried that you didn't want to be friends with me anymore."

"Don't tell anyone!" Brittany blurted out, "Santana said that she wants to keep it a secret and that she only does it because her and Puck are on a hiatus!"

Kurt quietened down and nodded, "I won't tell." He promised.

"Thank you." Brittany smiled, "now can you tell me what 'on hiatus' means? Santana won't explain it to me."

Kurt sighed and flopped down on his bed.

Kurt mostly kept to himself at Glee Club, he only really bothered talking to the other Gleeks if there was a group discussion. Mercedes had tried to be friends with him, and he gladly accepted, but she started to become better friends with Tina and eventually they stopped talking again.

That and he was now being bullied, for joining the Glee Club. He was mostly left alone before because he hang out with Brittany- maybe everyone assumed they were dating -but after he joined the Glee Club and Brittany went and made out with half of the boys in the school it was pretty obvious that they weren't together and suddenly to every jock Kurt was definitely gay.

Yes, he was flamboyant, yes maybe he spent hours doing his daily skin care routine and maybe he sang like Diana Ross but that just meant he was feminine- not that he liked guys. Except now he wasn't so sure.

Look at guys like Puck and Finn for instance- they knew they liked girls. They did all that guy stuff that Kurt found kinda creepy, like talking about boobs and complaining when their girlfriends didn't put out. Kurt knew he would probably never act like that, talking about a girl or a boy.

But ever since that dumb kiss in his bedroom and Brittany's confession to sleeping with Santana, Kurt had been beginning to question everything about himself. The only problem was, now he and Brittany were drifting apart there was nobody to tell his deepest, darkest thoughts to, and that was becoming a pretty big problem.

He decided the only way he was going to get Brittany back was to take her up on her offer from before- pretend to date her so nobody would suspect him anymore. They could lie and say they'd been dating all along- at that Brittany got mad after they broke up and kissed the boys in school to make him jealous, or something. Brittany would probably come up with a better excuse, whether he brain worked in different ways or not.

It was settled then, tomorrow he would tell Brittany he wanted to go through with their plan, the dumpster tosses and name-calling would probably stop, and everything could go back to what it was like before.

Well, almost.

"Brit." Kurt attracted the girl's attention after glee in the choir room. Santana and Quinn had already left and were in their way to Cheerio's practice, Kurt knew he couldn't keep Brittany for long.

"What, Kurt?" She asked, stopped in her tracks and turning to face him.

"I want to go through with our plan- you know, the smart one you came up with?" Kurt figured if he complimented her she'd have a better chance at accepting, not that he thought she wouldn't anyway.

Brittany looked at him in confusion, "what plan?"

"The one you told me about!" Kurt stepped a little closer and lowers his voice, "about us pretending to date so nobody found out about our…secrets."

He stepped back and Brittany nodded like she understood, "okay, so are we dating now?"

Kurt nodded quickly in reply, and Brittany smiled at him, leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek gently, before turning around and running off to catch up with Quinn and Santana.

Kurt stood in the choir room and stayed for a few minutes after everyone had left, clutching the strap of his Marc Jacobs bag and wondering what the hell he'd just gotten himself into.
