"Why me?" Jake asked himself quietly as he watched the coffee stain his white designer jeans before he picked up the cup and went to put it in the trash.
"Go get some paper towels and clean up the mess." The teacher stated in an exhausted tone.
"Alright." Jake replied in a whisper as he ran out of the room and into the hall, trying to find a near by bathroom. Jake found the restroom and grabbed a whole bunch of paper towels before running back to the classroom.
"Good thing you brought those extra pants, huh?" Kurt joked as Jake cleaned up.
"I guess." Jake mumbled as he went and threw the towels away.
"Look on the bright side." Mercedes stated.
"What bright side?" Jake asked as he looked at his pants.
"It can only go up from here," Mercedes replied.
"'Cedes, you shouldn't have said that." Kurt muttered as Jake tried to soak up any extra coffee from his pants.
"Kurt what do you have next?" Jake asked after he threw the other paper towels away.
"Algebra 2." Kurt replied as he took hold of Jakes now empty hand.
"Thank heaven." Jake whispered as he looked at Kurt.
"Jake," Kurt asked, "are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Jake replied as he ran his thumb over Kurts knuckles. "It's just... the coffee was hot."
"That's gotta hurt." Mercedes stated as she put a hand on Jakes shoulder.
"It did." Jake muttered. "Hurt my pride more than my skin though."
-/- Kurts P.o.V -\-
"So," I stated as I pulled my bag on and let go of Jakes hand as we walked though the halls, "we'll see you at glee 'Cedes."
"See you white boys." Mercedes stated as I let Jake to math class.
"I found a solution to my pants problem." Jake muttered as he slipped his jacket off, tied it around his waist, hiding the stain.
"That's not in fashion." I muttered as we walked into the class room.
"I know," He replied, "but I'd rather be a bit out of fashion then have a visible stain."
"I guess." I stated as we sat down.
"So, dinner and a movie tonight?" He inquired quietly as he looked at me.
"Of course, just tell me the place and the time." I replied as we pulled out our various math items. (books and calculators)
"How about sevenish?" He asked with a smile.
"I'll let my dad know." I replied, his smile grew wider.
"So it's a dare?" He asked as he grabbed my hand.
"It's a date." I countered as he looked at me, smile still planted on his face. "So you'll pick me up?"
"Um... well... I don't have a car." He replied as the teacher passed out the class work.
"It's review. Get to work." The teacher muttered.
"I'll pick you up then." I said as we began to work on the math review.
"Um... I was kind of hoping to meet your dad before hand." He replied with a slight nervous edge.
"I'd like that." I whispered as he looked at me. "So I'll just take you home with me."
"Sounds good. So... I have no idea what any of this stuff is." He murmured as he glared at the paper.
"Alright. These are Quadratic Equations." I stated.
-/- After Class -\-
"Kurt, I have to go change." Jake whispered as we walked to my car.
"Okay, come on let's get your clothes and then you can change in the bathroom." I replied quietly as I unlocked the back.
"Alright." He stated as he grabbed the duffel bag, opened it, and pulled out an outfit.
"Let's go!" I exclaimed as he zipped the bag back up and closed the hatch to my Navigator.
"Yeah yeah." He muttered as I grabbed his hand and pulled him back into the school.
-/- Jakes P.o.V -\-
"Jake," Kurt exclaimed as I locked myself in the handicap stall and began changing, "glee starts in 10!"
"I'll be ready in 5!" I called back. "What do they have for good restaurants around here?"
"There's Breadstix." He replied as I pulled my shirt off and put the new one on.
"How many stars?" I inquired as I put the seat cover down, sat down, and put my shoes back on.
"I don't know... three." He replied as I unlocked the door and walked out, dirty clothes in hand and jacket on.
"It'll do... I wanted to take you to a four star but it'll work." I stated as I shoved my clothes into the plastic bag I had grabbed from my duffel bag.
"I take it you have money?" He asked as I grabbed his hand and we left the bathroom.
"You could say that." I replied as he led me to the choir room. "I just need to go to the bank."
"Okay." Kurt asked as our interwoven hands swung lightly between us. "Where did you go before?"
"A performing arts school in New York." I replied quietly as I brought our hands up and kissed the back of his.
"So you can dance and stuff?" He asked as we walked.
"Yeah." I replied as we walked into the choir room. "I can dance, act a bit, and sing."
"Impressive." He stated as we sat down.
"So... Who has a song to sing?" Mr. Schue asked after everyone had sat down. "Remember, the theme was secrets about yourself."
"I do." I stated as I raised my hand.
"What song will you be singing?" Mr. Schue asked as I stood up and walked to the front of the room. "And after you can tell the secret if you want."
"Reflection." I replied as I looked at everyone.
Reflection lyrics
Look at me
Through my think you see
Who I really am
But you never no me
Everyday
It's as if I play
A part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all times
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
There's a harp that must be free
To fly
That bird
Has the need to know
The reason why!
Why must we all conceal
What we mean
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I wont pretend that I'm
Someone else
For all times
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
When will my
Reflection show
Who I am
Inside
"Would you care to share your secret?" Mr. Schue inquired as I looked around.
"The song was pretty self explanatory." I replied as Kurt gave me a knowing look. "I don't see me when I look in the mirror.
"Who do you see?" Asked a freakishly tall looking person from a few seats down from Kurt, 'I think his name's Finn' I thought.
"A small scared boy." I replied as I walked back to my seat.
"Why?" Asked Mr. Schue from his own seat.
"Because my parents died alright?" I exclaimed, more mad at myself for not thinking ahead then at them for asking. "DROP IT!"
"Jake," Kurt whispered as I sat down, "they didn't know."
"I know." I whispered back as I grabbed his hand and held it to my chest. "I'm mad at myself."
"Everything will be okay." Kurt whispered as he looked at me.
"Jake. As a teacher, I have to ask. Do you need to talk about it?" Mr. Schue asked.
"Not to a psychologist." I replied as I held Kurts hand tighter.
"Jake it may help you get through whatever is wrong." Mr. Schue stated.
"No." I replied as I looked at Mr. Schue.
"Does anyone else have a song?" Mr. Schue asked as he stepped out to the front of the room.
"I do." Kurt stated as he stood up.
"Okay. What song?" Mr. Schue asked as he stepped off to the side.
"I'll be singing "You Rock My World"." Kurt replied as I let go of his hand.
You Rock My World lyrics
You Rock My World lyrics
Ho...oh...

"Thank you Kurt." Mr. Schue stated as he took the front again.
"No problem." Kurt replied as he sat back town.
"So... Does anyone else have a song?" Asked Mr. Schue as he looked around.
"I do." A badly dressed girl with strangely nice hair replied as she stood up.
"Good. What song?" Mr. Schue inquired as he sat in his chair.
"I Know What Boys Like." The girl replied as she took the front.
I Know What Boys Like lyrics
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
I've got what boys like
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I see them looking
I make them want me
I like to tease them
They want to touch me
I never let them I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
But you you are special (I might let you)
You're so much different (I might let you)
Ooohh would you like that? (I might let you)
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
I know whats on their minds
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
They talk about me
I got my cat moves That so upsets them
Zippers and buttons
Fun to frustrate them
They get so angry
Like pouty children
Denied their candy
I laugh right at them
I know what boys like
I know what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
Nah nah nah nah nah,
nah nah nah nah nah
I see your sad now (I will let you)
Sorry I teased you (I will let you)
This time I mean it (I will let you)
Anything you want (You can trust me)
I really want to (You can trust me)
How would you like it? (You can trust me)
SUCKER! hmhmhm
I know what boys like
I got what guys want
I know what boys like
Boys like, boys like me
Nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah,
nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah,
nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah
"I forgot to ask. Kurt do you want to share your secret?" Mr. Schue asked.
"I'm deeply in love." Kurt replied as he grabbed my hand.
"And what was your secret Rachel?" Mr. Schue asked.
"I'd rather not say." The girl, Rachel, replied as she sat back down.
"Alright. Any others?" Mr. Schue asked. Nobody else raised their hands.
"The rest of you, keep thinking." Mr. Schue stated. "You can go." We all got up and left the room.
"So Jake," Kurt stated as he lead me out of the room by the hand, "why do you see a small scarred boy?"
"It's what I see." I replied quietly as we walked out to the parking lot.
"Why?" He asked softly as we reached his car.
"I know I look strong and stuff." I replied before I started to tear up. "But I feel like a little kid on the inside, its all because..."
"Jake it's alright." Kurt whispered as he held me, I began to feel oddly safer as I was hidden by his vastly larger body. "Let it out." (A/N: Jake's only about 5'4" to Kurts 5'10" or 5'11")
"It's just... I feel helpless." I whispered into his chest as I placed one hand there and wrapped the other arm around him. "I see a scared boy because I was a scared boy." I felt tears stream down my face.
"Let it out." He whispered as I felt him pull away and wipe the tears away. "Lets go shall we?"
"Sure." I managed to get out as I opened the door to the car.
"How about we do homework before you meet my dad?" Kurt asked as he got in and started the car.
"Definitely." I replied as he drove out of the lot.
-/- At Kurts House -\-
"Dad I'm home!" Kurt called once we were inside. "And I brought Jake!"
"Okay son." Kurts dad stated as he came into the room. "So uh... Jake... you're looking better."
"I'm feeling better Mr. Hummel." I replied as I looked at him.
"That's good." Mr. Hummel asked as Kurt grabbed my hand. "So uh... you kids going to do homework?"
"Yes Dad." Kurt replied as he dragged me toward the stairs.
"Leave the door open boys." Mr. Hummel stated as Kurt pulled me toward what I guessed was his room.
"Alright Dad!" Kurt called as he opened a door and pulled me inside.
"So could you please explain the math to me?" I asked as we sat on his bed and pulled out all our stuff.

"We should probably go talk to my Dad." Kurt stated as the two boys put their school stuff away.
"Yeah." Jake replied as he stood up.
"Be prepared for an interrogation." Kurt stated in a joking tone as they walked up stairs.
"No problem." Jake replied as he grabbed Kurts hand.
"Hello boys." Burt asked as the boys walked into the living room. "Jake are you staying for dinner?"
"Well actually," Jake replied as he looked at Burt, "I was going to ask if I could take Kurt out on a date."
"Kurt, could you leave us for a few minutes?" Burt asked as he looked at Kurt.
"Please don't scare him Dad." Kurt replied as he walked toward the kitchen.
"No guarantees." Burt stated as Kurt disappeared into the kitchen.
"So where did you intend on going?" Burt asked as he looked Jake in the eye.
"Breadstix and possibly a movie." Jake replied as he looked at Burt. "But only if Kurt wanted to."
"Do you intend to stay with Kurt?" Burt asked as he put a hand on Jakes shoulder.
"As long as he'll let me stay with him." Jake replied. "I'll never push him into anything either, he determines where this relationship goes."
"Well all right then." Burt stated with a smile. "But, if you ever hurt him..."
"I'll never intentionally hurt Kurt." Jake replied confidently as he stared Burt in the eye. "I would rather hurt myself then hurt Kurt."
"That's good." Burt called as he took his hand off Jakes shoulder. "Kurt you can come back now!"
"So you approve?" Kurt asked as he walked back in.
"Yeah, I do." Burt replied with a smile. "Go have fun."
"Thanks Dad. I'm going to go get changed," Kurt stated.
