I don't own Glee or the characters therein.
Mercedes heard her phone ringing but couldn't find it, of course, until after whoever it was had hung up. She had missed a call from Kurt. She sure missed the boy. She began to dial him but stopped when she received a text message.It was from Kurt.
Call me, girl! Why aren't you by your phone?
She dialed and Kurt picked up right away. "What took you so long?"
"I had to find my phone. Then your texting delayed my dialing."
"Fair enough. I have news."
"You're dating Blaine?"
"Well, no, but I want to."
"Oh honey, that's not news."
"That, surprisingly, was not my news, Mercedes."
"Then what's your news, Kurt?"
Kurt took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Come on, silly boy, what's the news?"
"I'm in love."
"Kurt, he's the first gay boy you've been attracted to. Of course you think you're in love. But you'll see his faults soon enough and the grade school crush you have on him will go away the moment you meet someone more awesome."
"No really, Mercedes," Kurt whined. "I'm in love with him. He makes me feel so special, so cared for, and have you heard him sing?"
"Ok, Kurt," Mercedes replied incredulously. She didn't believe Kurt was actually in love and she didn't want to have to pick up the pieces when Blaine broke her friend's heart. More than that, she didn't want to be ditched anymore by Kurt. She was happy he was somewhere safe, but she rarely got to see him, and she hadn't been able to sing anything really fun without him around pushing glee club to be more diva-focused and fabulous. If Kurt got a boyfriend, would he spend any time with her? Her friend being happy seemed to depend on her future unhappiness. It would be easier for her to hate the situation if she hated Blaine as a match for Kurt, but he was sort of perfect for the boy. Cute, and a little older and wiser. She guessed she couldn't sabotage it, but she certainly felt like it.
