"Blaine, why are you here so early?" Kurt had taken Blaine's hand to retreat into his bedroom while the rest of the guys of Glee Club looked on in suspicion.
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. I know I was supposed to come after lunch, but…" Blaine sighed and carded his hand through his mess of curls. Kurt felt the urge to just ruffle them, but he knew he couldn't do that.
"What's wrong?" Kurt questioned him in a sincere and soft voice.
Blaine sighed and shook his head. He looked at Kurt with a sort of pleading look, and looked on the verge of tears. Kurt had a knot in his stomach looking at the poor boy.
"Let's just do this paper." Blaine suggested getting more comfortable on the bed.
Kurt wanted to protest, but judging from the look of pure agony on Blaine's face, it was better to leave the matter alone. Kurt agreed to Blaine's request reluctantly.

Rory couldn't keep his eyes on the game. He saw Blaine walk in, and from the look on his face, Rory just wanted to run over and hug him. Kurt was shocked, and had immediately taken Blaine's hand and went to his room.
Rory knew he shouldn't feel it, but there it was. Jealousy was clawing at his insides again. It came up every time Kurt and Blaine smiled at each other. They were only on good terms because of Rory anyway.
In Rory's mind, it wasn't fair. He's the reason they smile and laugh with each other. Rory hates it that he can't do anything about their growing relationship except watch, as they grow closer.
Rory mentally sighed, and leaned forward slightly so it looks like he's focusing on the video game. Most of the time, he just pushes random buttons. He has no idea how to play video games. Sam nudged him with his shoulder.
"Hm?" Rory glanced at his friend.
Sam let go of his controller, and slapped Rory's out of his hands. Rory looked at him in confusion. Sam grabs him and they go near the kitchen.
"Sam, what-?" Sam shushed him and looked around. What he's looking for, Rory has no idea. Sam turned back to him with his lips pursed. Rory just stares at Sam confused.
"You are so miserable." Sam observed. Rory was actually starting to panic. Does he know about my crush?
"I-I am?" Rory hated that he couldn't keep the stutter or the panic out of his voice. Sam sighed and slung his arm around Rory's shoulders.
"Yeah! You can't hide that from me, man. I know how much you hate video games. Especially the Call of Duty ones." Sam grinned at him. Rory mentally sighed in relief. Sam was talking about the video games.
"Yeah. Yeah, I do hate them…" Rory said in what he hoped was a sad fashion. Sam nodded at him.
"Well, there was something Kurt wanted done. Kurt doesn't care who goes get him, but he's needed for the next meeting." Sam mentioned vaguely. Rory cocked his eyebrow at him.
"Who am I getting?" Rory questioned curiously. Sam frowned in annoyance.
"Sebastian Smythe. He goes to Dalton. He's a great pain in the ass." Sam rolled his eyes.
Rory tried to hide his excitement. He had heard stories about this Sebastian. Everyone apparently really thought he was a cocky ass. That's why he was rarely ever present at meetings that the Glee members held.
After all the stories that Blaine had said about his friends and time at Dalton, Rory was looking forward to seeing what it was like.
"Rory?" Rory snapped out of his thoughts, and looked at his friend. Sam wore a confused expression. "You okay, pal? You zoned out."
"Yeah… sorry. I was thinking." Rory grinned shyly, and Sam's smile returned.
"Alright. Well, if you need any help with Mr. Jackass, just call." Sam howled as he rejoined the guys with Rory following slowly after, shaking his head fondly.

Kurt had tried so very hard to keep his focus on the project. His eyes kept falling onto the dark haired boy sitting right next to him, re-reading the play, and typing a little too harshly on the poor abused keyboard.
Blaine scowled, and hit the delete button a couple of times. Kurt kept glancing at him worriedly. Thank goodness Blaine didn't catch him, being too caught up in trying to distract himself with the paper.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked softly, eyeing Blaine thoughtfully. Blaine's eyes met his, and they immediately softened.
"I'm doing my half of the paper." Blaine answered just as softly. Kurt could tell he was trying to contain himself.
Kurt put his laptop down, and scooted closer to Blaine. Kurt grasped Blaine's laptop, and placed it gently down next to his own.
"Kurt…" Blaine sighed, and looked at Kurt pleadingly with his eyes.
Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand after a moment of hesitation, and started to massage it slowly. Blaine's breath caught in his throat.
"What's wrong?" Kurt asked softly never ceasing in his massage. Blaine's skin felt warm under his own cold hand. Blaine sighed.
"Nothing. Let's just-" Kurt squeezed his hand, and Blaine found it oddly reassuring.
"It's not nothing, Blaine. You're miserable. It's not a good look for you. I much prefer your smile." Kurt smiled slightly. Blaine felt slightly comforted, and smiled softly back. He wanted to trust Kurt, he really did…
"It's… family problems. My house isn't really a comforting place to me." Blaine explained slowly.
He decided to go with the short version of what really happened that morning. Kurt stared at him sadly for a bit, before squeezing his hand again, and giving Blaine his laptop back.
"I'm sorry. Well, we can take however long we need on this. That way you don't have to worry about going home for a while." Kurt suggested as he began writing down different points of Othello on a piece of paper.
"…Thank you." Blaine smiled at him in gratitude. Kurt nodded at him with another bright smile.
Baby steps, Hummel. Baby steps…

Carole had called everyone to lunch a while ago. Kurt and Blaine made their way downstairs. Blaine was in a much better mood than first arriving there, and Kurt was just happy to be talking to him.
Kurt had warned Finn about making a mess in his and Carole's kitchen. Most of the guys had left with the exception of Rory, who had wanted to stay for a bit longer before going home to the Pierce's.
Carole had gone with Finn back to the living room to get him to pick up the mess. Finn had whined the entire way, but reluctantly went. The three of them were sitting in a comfortable silence before Rory broke it.
"Kurt?" Rory asked after a minute of hesitation. Kurt looked up from his magazine.
"Yeah?" Kurt questioned. Rory glanced at Blaine.
"Sam told me about a mission to go and get… a Mr. Jackass?" Rory explained curiously with amusement evident in his voice. Kurt dropped his magazine on the table.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. We do need him." Kurt muttered softly before nodding at Rory, confirming the mission was still on. Blaine looked between the two in curiosity.
"What mission? And who's Mr. Jackass?" Blaine inquired curiously. Rory grinned. Kurt scoffed at him.
"No one and nothing that you need to worry about." Kurt said dismissively. Blaine felt his annoyance and curiosity grow at the curt dismissal. Rory cleared his throat, before Blaine could retort.
"Puck also wanted me to tell you that he borrowed some of your clothes." Rory mentioned slowly. Kurt glared at him with an eyebrow cocked.
"What do you mean 'borrowed'?" Kurt hissed through clenched teeth. Rory smiled sheepishly.
"He just said 'Tell Kurt, I'm taking some of his pants, okay?' I asked him why and told him he couldn't fit into them, and he said he wasn't going to wear them." Rory shrugged.
If looks could kill, Kurt's expression would cause the entire world to implode. No one ever messed with Kurt's clothes. Kurt's face was no longer pale, and was bordering on red. Kurt's eyes started glowing blue. Rory's eyes widened before he grabbed Blaine and told him to duck.
At that moment, the faucet on the sink started to run on it's own, before the faucet blew off due to the amount of water pressure. Rory shrieked, before grabbing Kurt's arm.
"Kurt! Kurt! You have to stop! You'll flood the house!" Rory shouted, desperately shaking him.
Kurt calmed down slightly, and looked towards the sink. At least his face went back to its normal color, although maybe a little paler. Kurt growled.
"Shit!" Kurt swore before stopping the water.
He sighed in frustration as he looked at the huge puddle near the sink, and the detached faucet on the floor. He couldn't believe that he was stupid enough to allow his powers to break free.
Rory sighed in relief as Blaine's wide eyes found Kurt's own. Blaine stood up slowly on shaky legs as Carole and Finn ran in.
"What happened?" Carole gasped at the giant puddle, and looked at Kurt. Kurt blushed as everyone's eyes were on him.
"Um… I may have gotten mad. I'm sorry, Carole. I couldn't control myself." Kurt sighed, and scowled in disappointment at himself. Blaine's eyes never left his face.
"I can fix it." Finn muttered before taking the faucet and screwing it back into place. Finn walked carefully over the giant puddle.
"I don't get it…" Blaine said softly. Everyone turned their attentions onto him. Blaine looked at Kurt with a cautious and guarded expression. "You made the sink explode."
Kurt wanted to roll his eyes at the obvious observation. But then he realized, Blaine's a human. Of course, he doesn't understand! Kurt bit his lip.
"Y-yeah…" Kurt muttered looking him back in the eyes.
"What are you, Kurt?" Kurt felt his heart drop.
