"Kurt! Theo's here." Tyler announced.
"What no. He's early." Tyler left the door open allowing the boy to walk in and sit on the couch. Tyler returned to his bed and began searching for something talking to Theo about some math question. Mean while Kurt was sitting on the edge of the bathtub pulling his legs into his white skinny legged jeans. Then he moved onto his hair.
"Tyler, can you bring me the emergency hairspray." Kurt shouted to his roommate. Tyler stopped looking and got up to get the hairspray from Kurt's emergency pack in his top bedside draw. Tyler had helped his put it together one day when Blaine was at an away game of soccer. It contained everything that a teenage boy would need and everything Kurt would need. Theo who was still sitting on the couch raised an eyebrow towards the can.
"Extra strong hold." Tyler explained as he walked into bathroom. Two minutes later Kurt came out into the room giving the boys a twirl. Tyler sat up crossed legged, a black bag in between his legs, and clapped cheering for Kurt.
"Thankyou Tyler."
"You look amazing Kurt." Theo smiled offering him his hand.
"You're not half bad either." He grinned taking his hand.
"Alright picture time!" Tyler exclaimed taking the camera out of the black bag.
"Nooo Tyler. It's not prom."
"Nooo Kurt, but it's your fist date." Kurt blushed. "You'll regret it if you don't. So will your scrapbook."
"Oh my god Tyler." Theo was standing still holding Kurt's hand laughing at the ridiculousness of the pair's argument. He was hoping to form a relationship like that with Kurt. The last boyfriend he'd had didn't work out. He wasn't his type, too clingy. Besides he found Kurt more promising, there was something about him that was different from most immature teenage boys.
"Aw come on Kurt. Do it for your scrapbook." Theo joked.
"Alright! Say cheese."
"Cheese." Theo smiled, Kurt looked up at him and then back to the camera.
"Cheeeeese." He said sarcastically.
"Okay, let's go Kurt." He pulled him by the hand and soon they were running down the hallway the same way he and Blaine had the first time they met.
Theo spent the first half of their date talking about the food they were eating. Kurt couldn't keep his thoughts on the boy infront of him. He couldn't stop thinking about Blaine, the boy in whom he was meant to be moving on from. Blaine was his friend, and that's where they stood. God Kurt wished he didn't spend so much time thinking about Blaine. He was on a date with Theo, a boy that he actually liked.
"Did you know that there's going to be another show of Cats in New York?" Theo asked suddenly realizing Kurt seemed bored. He shook his head which was still miles away. "Are you alright? You seem kinda distant."
"Fine." There was a silence for a moment while Theo looked around then set his eyes back on Kurt's face.
"Has anyone ever told you, you look beautiful under fairy lights?" Kurt nodded.
"Blaine did." And yet again he was thinking about the curly haired boy who was back at Dalton Academy.
"Did you two date? I know you said you weren't together but…" Theo stopped. Kurt was shaking his head.
"No. We're just best friends. So tell me about yourself Theodore Winston." Kurt said gazing at him, his head resting on his fist.
"Uh, I like comic books and 80's music. My Dad accepts my sexuality, my mum, not so much. I had my tonsils out when I was 14. And after I moved from New York, my friends never contacted me anymore. How about you? What do you like?"
"I love Broadway, fashion and makeovers. As soon as I get out of high school I'm going to New York. I came out to my dad when I was 16 after my football game, but that's another story. He's accepting of it, so much. I had a crush on my step brother before our parents married. And I've broken each of my limbs but not at the same time."
"What about your mum? Doesn't she accept you?"
"She died when I was eight."
"Oh, I'm sorry. You've had it pretty tough haven't you?"
"I guess but my family and Blaine always make the pain better, they make everything alright again." He smiled a sad smile.
"This was fun. We should do it again." Theo suggested checking the time on his watch. It would be curfew soon and if they didn't get back they'd be locked outside.
"I would like to do that. But I get to pick where we go. Blaine introduced me to some pretty neat little places around here and I think you'd like them."
"Deal. When do you want to do it? Tomorrow?" Theo was putting his jacket back on.
"I can't tomorrow sorry. Blaine and I are going shopping."
"Uh okay, Saturday?"
"Um Tyler, Blaine, and I are going to the Movies."
"Alright maybe we won't go out then. Come on get your stuff." Theo pushed his chair in looking at Kurt who was wrapping a scarf around his neck.
"Why?" He sounded devastated. It had dawned on him in the last hour that he and Theo had a lot in common and he was growing on him.
"Because whenever I want to do something with you, we'll have to work around Blaine and if we get together then that's not how it should be. I really like you Kurt, I still don't know you very well but I feel like I've known you forever."
"I like you too Theo. It's just Blaine's my best friend."
"And I understand that. Come on lets go back to Dalton."
"I'll cancel with Blaine." Kurt followed Theo out to his car. "I'll cancel, he can go with Tyler."
"You'd do that for me?"
"Yes. Like I said, I like you. We could have something. I'm going to hug you now." Kurt smiled. What he said was the truth, but how on Earth would he tell Blaine he wasn't going to the Movies with him anymore. It was the last Harry Potter film and Blaine had been looking forward to going ever since last month when Kurt suggested they went together and brought Tyler.
"Kurtie!"
"Blaine?"
"Hi!"
"What are you doing here. Its past curfew, you're meant to be asleep."
"But we're usually on the phone at this time. What's the matter with you? Date not go well?" Kurt slumped onto his bed pulling his boots off.
"It went fine thanks. Look Blaine, Tyler, I'm sorry but…" Blaine was bouncing around, he looked like he was waiting for something. "What Blaine, you're all crazy." Kurt smiled.
"WE GOT THE TICKETS!" He exclaimed picking them up from the desk and waving them around.
"Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk about. So my date went really well, I think I like Theo. But um, I can't go to the movies with you guys. Theo and I are going out. I really feel like we're going- Blaine? Hey! Where are you going?" Kurt asked as Blaine shoved past him.
"You said you'd never cancel on me for a date!" He shouted down the hall.
"I didn't know I would feel this way about him. Blaine, please? Why can't you just be happy for me?"
"Leave me alone Kurt."
"BLAINE!" Kurt spun around in annoyance.
"That was um…" Tyler appeared behind him.
"I stuffed that up so bad didn't I?" Tyler nodded. "I'm sorry are you mad at me?"
"No. I understand. But Blaine, he cares about you Kurt. You know how he feels about you."
"But he doesn't act on those feelings. I'm moving on, is that so bad?" Tyler shrugged. "I have to find him." Kurt was about to run in the direction Blaine had stormed off in when Tyler grabbed his wrist.
"Just give him the night Kurt. He'll have settled down in the morning." He gave in and followed Tyler back into their room. He fell onto his bed with a huff. This was the first argument Blaine and Kurt had ever had. Blaine was distraught, he didn't know who to go to or what to do, but he knew within a couple of minutes Kurt would start sending him sorry messages. Kurt felt his phone vibrate. A picture of Blaine popped up on the screen and Kurt felt his heart skip a beat.
'Don't text me. I just want to be alone. –B.' A tear rolled down his cheek as he smashed his head into his pillows. Tyler stood watching Kurt shaking on the bed before he made his way over to kneel on the ground beside the bed.
"Kurt listen to me. Blaine is over reacting okay? Just calm down. He'll come around, just remember this is your first fight. You're the person he would always come too, he's just confused." Kurt turned to look at him, his puffy red eyes barely held themselves open. "God Kurt, you look dreadful. Go to sleep."
"Thanks." He mumbled. Tyler stood up and turned the light off. Kurt sighed and closed his eyes allowing restless sleep to take over his aching body.
