Sorry for the radio silence I've written another chapter but that didn't seem to fit in yet so I had to write some chapters in between the old and the new one. I really like getting these messages from you guys so please keep sending me some feedback, it helps .

Chapter four

While Kurt and Blaine drove back to Dalton Kurt had the feeling that this had been the best date ever! Blaine had not only been the perfect gentleman, he had also been more than willing to speak up in order to protect him, wasn't that sweet of him? Blaine seemed to have enjoyed the date as well and while Kurt thought of that the surround system switched on automatically. Unlike the songs on the way to the restaurant this one seemed to be all about friendship instead of love, which was what had Kurt thinking; did I misinterpret this evening? Kurt's insecurities returned, perhaps Blaine wanted them to be just friends…..

When you're down and troubled

and you need a helping hand

and nothing, oh nothing is going right,

close your eyes and think of me

and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest night.

After all, Blaine seemed to have everything planned up to the smallest detail so Kurt wasn't sure what to think as he heard the chorus of the song:

You just call out my name

and you know wherever I am,

I come running to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

At least he could say that it sounded like his relationship with Blaine at the status quo, as he knew he could always count on him and Blaine would do about anything for him but this song wasn't at all the love song Kurt would have liked to hear. It wasn't a terrible song but it wasn't really good either, what had seemed so close seemed to be long gone again, Kurt was sure he would never get to be with Blaine and he felt like crying. How was he ever supposed to be happy if he could only fall in love with people who were out of his reach?

Blaine could feel the atmosphere was changing rapidly but there was little he could do about it. Perhaps it had nothing to do with him and although he knew he might have been a better friend to Kurt if he would address the matter but he knew that despite the fact that it would be well meant, it could lead to disaster. Blaine tried to get a conversation up and it worked, Kurt brightened up a bit, he felt good about that, perhaps it really had nothing to do with him.

It was getting late and they nearly ran out of time, it was about two more miles and they had a mere two minutes left to get home and into bed in order to be in time for the evening curfew. Yet like a true gentleman Blaine helped Kurt out of the car, no matter what would happen spending time with Kurt was worth way more than not getting a warning.

Kurt had really wanted to kiss Blaine back at the restaurant but at the moment he was just confused, he wasn't sure what to think anymore. They walked to the entrance of the dorms and hugged each other, that seemed so much safer to Kurt, he wouldn't spoil his chances with that, or so he thought.

Before heading inside Kurt looked back and said: "you've really been grand" Blaine had a big grin on his face while his mind wondered off to the last time Kurt had sung that line….. Kurt was pleased with his first date but he felt sorry for the fact that they still hadn't kissed, was it ever going to happen he wondered.

He didn't have much time to think about that as Wes quickly made his way towards him. He was looking enthusiastic as he said: "so, how was your date?". Kurt needed a second to process what had just happened, was Wes really interested in these things? He had ruined his kissing opportunities on more than one occasion so it was quite hard for Kurt to process. This was a bit strange but it couldn't hurt him in any way, so he shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Kurt sat down on the bed and Wes quickly joined him. Wes could see that Kurt seemed to be sceptic so he said: "I know that I might have stopped you from kissing Blaine but I didn't intend to." "it's just something I have to get used to, but that doesn't mean that I don't want you to be happy and I like the both of you so please tell me what happened…"

Kurt was a bit moved by this and he felt reassured, what a tremendous difference in attitude, if someone at McKinley had issues with two boys being together they would bully them all of the time but the boys at Dalton were so much more sensitive. Kurt smiled to Wes and said "Okay, I'll tell you". Wes' face lit up and he began asking: "Where did he take you?" and "How was it like?" Kurt really liked the enthusiasm, perhaps they would finally truly get along after this. Kurt began talking; "Well, he took me to the Bel Lago Waterfront Bistro and he had reserved a table next to the window", Wes sighed and said with a sheepish grin: "I wish I had come up with that when I had a date, that's just so romantic". Kurt laughed and thought yes it was… Perhaps Blaine was into him but Wes interrupted that with another question: "So, what did you order?" "Well, Blaine had pre-ordered the meal so it would be a total surprise" Wes smiled "That's typically Blaine, he plans everything up to the tiniest detail, did he knew what you liked?" Kurt thought of that for a moment before he answered: "amazingly, yes he had picked three courses and I loved every course, each one better than the last, but the thing I liked the most was that he was with me" Kurt had a red blush on his face while he said that last phrase. He didn't mean to be that frank but it just came out, Wes seemed amused by Kurt's embarrassed expression, he put his arm around Kurt and sang:

Don't worry about a thing

'cause every little thing is gonna be all right

Kurt giggled, I didn't know that a Warbler could be a Bob Marley fan. Wes smiled and said: "I'm not but it just seemed to fit the situation"Kurt laughed and asked: "Shall I tell you a secret?". Wes looked hopeful and nodded so Kurt said: "I've always thought that I could use another of Marley's songs if my father wouldn't accept my sexuality" Wes laughed out loud and they were having a good time.

When Wes had stopped laughing he said: "Sorry Kurt for being such a jerk to you, I never truly gave you a chance" Kurt laughed and said: "Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing is gonna be all right". Wes sighed and said: "Thanks Kurt, let me know if I can help you with anything.." "I will" Kurt answered. Wes looked at Kurt and said: "I know that you have been through a lot and that it's hard to confide in someone but if you ever feel like it please feel free to talk about anything you want with me, I'll be there" "thanks Wes" Kurt answered, "Is there anything you would like to know before we get some sleep?"

"Well, I was wondering Kurt, could you tell me something about you're past? I could tell you some things about Blaine's in exchange…" Kurt's face was glowing, the thought of getting to know more of Blaine was very tempting but he had to do his daily routines so he answered: "I'd love to but would you mind talking about that in the bathroom? I have to do my moisture routine before we get to sleep you know….." Wes laughed at him and said: "You're unbelievable, but I can see why some people love you so much, you're absolutely adorable just the way you are"

As they walked into the bathroom Kurt realised how much his life had changed in the last month. Even though Wes wasn't gay nor his boyfriend it did feel different than his friends from McKinley simply because he was a male friend that would listen to him. Wes would never mean as much to him as Blaine did but it was nice to have some more friends to confide in. Even though he had had a good time during Glee practice and Glee trips at McKinley and the fact that he missed his old friends, he knew that he became stronger every day and he finally felt some of the things he had hoped for to find at Dalton. He knew that he wouldn't be bullied, he knew he had some friends to rely on and he knew that he'd manage to be liked and accepted by most Warblers. He would fit in for once and that was something he had to learn for himself. As time went by Kurt shared more of his past than he had done with any other than Blaine and he could see that Wes was a better person than he first expected him to be. He might not be the cleanest roommate around but he had a good heart and that was way more important…
