A/N: Evening everyone. :) Here we are to chapter 4. I'm relatively satisfied with this chapter. I'm sure there are areas that could be way better so I apologize beforehand. Again, feel free to let me know of any and all criticisms, ideas, suggestions, or anything else you may want to throw my way. Enjoy! =)

Chapter 4: Don't You

This was a mistake. Kurt never should've agreed to this. He knew that now without a doubt. Yes, Mark was a nice guy, but this just felt wrong. Sitting here in a beautiful Italian restaurant, part of Kurt wanted to end this date here and now, but he couldn't do that to Mark. Mark really was a sweet guy. It wasn't his fault Kurt wasn't attracted to him. Then why'd you say yes you idiot? Mark was rambling on about something. Lacrosse maybe? Who knows. All Kurt could think about was getting home, curling up under his blanket, and maybe popping in a movie. He finally forced his attention back to Mark. Not even two seconds later, the waiter showed up with their food. They ate in relative silence for awhile. Mark was the first to speak up.

"Man, this food is good. How's yours Kurt?"

"Delicious. I don't think I've ever had spaghetti that tasted so good."

Mark grinned, "if you think their spaghetti is good, then you should try this lasagna. It's to die for."

"Thanks. I think I'll just stick to this for now."

"Okay." Kurt closed his eyes for a quick moment, and then the sigh that sounded more like a moan slipped out. Damn. He had held it back all evening. It was too much to hope that Mark wouldn't noticed but of course he did. "Is something wrong Kurt?"

Yeah I don't want to be here! His mind screamed it, but instead he only said, "got a migraine is all."

"Why didn't you tell me? I would've take you home. I don't want you sitting here in pain."

"It's okay. I didn't want to ruin your evening."

"It wouldn't have ruined anything," he waved his hand signaling for the waiter.

"What can I get you sir?" the waiter asked.

"May I get the check please?"

"Certainly sir. Was everything to your liking?"

"Oh yes, it was wonderful."

"Great. You gentlemen have a pleasant evening."

"Thank you." The guys got up. Mark went to pay the bill, and Kurt waited for him by the door. After everything was set, the guys headed on a quiet ride back to Dalton. To Kurt the ride seemed to take forever, but after only 20 minutes they reached their destination. When it looked like Mark was going to walk Kurt back to his room in Landon Hall, Kurt stopped him.

"I think maybe we should just say our goodnights here," Kurt said.

"How come?"

"Well, your room is on the other side of campus. I wouldn't want you to have to walk to my room and then all the way to yours."

"Um...okay. If that's what you want to do."

Kurt gave him a slight grin and held out his hand for Mark to shake. "Thanks for dinner. It was delicious."

"You're welcome. Night Kurt," he replied as he shook his hand briefly before turning around and walking away.

"Night." Kurt let out a sigh of relief as he hurried back to his room. His relief, however, was short-lived. He skidded to a halt just inside Landon Hall's common room, just barely able to stop himself from running into Blaine.

"Hey Blaine!" Blaine just stared at him, gave a subtle shake of his head, turned on his heel, and headed to his room. "Blaine?" Still no response. "Cat got your tongue?" he tried to tease as he walked after Blaine. Blaine's only response was him slamming the door in Kurt's face followed by a loud clicking of the lock. Kurt was in utter shock. What the hell happened?

Kurt barely slept that night. He was too busy tossing and turning while wondering over and over in his head what he did to Blaine. He couldn't figure it out. After Kurt finally got himself out of bed and ready for that day's classes, there still had been no sight of the adorable curly-haired boy. He spent the day in a haze, having no idea what happened in any of his classes. Before he knew it, it was time for Warbler practice. At least I'm sure to see Blaine there. Just as he thought. Blaine was there. Kurt wanted to go up and talk to him so bad, but Blaine was unusually surrounded by a bunch of people. Besides, there was no room for Kurt anyway. He went and grabbed an empty seat in the back. The council called the meeting to order. The minutes from the previous meeting were read. Nothing new there.

"Okay, guys, can I please have everyone's attention? Warbler Blaine has a number he wants to share with us. Blaine? The floor is yours," Thad said. Blaine got up to get a guitar, and took a seat on a stool to the left of the council's table. Blaine was then joined by Wes, David, Jeff, and Nick. I wonder what he's going to sing.

"Thanks Thad," Blaine murmured. Without any hesitation, he began to play the beginning notes of the song.

Say...
Wasn't that a funny day.
Gee you had a funny way, a way about you
A kind of glow, of something new

Kurt was struck by the beauty of Blaine's voice, just like every other time he's heard him sing.

Sure...
I'll admit that I'm the same
Another sucker for a game kids like to play
And the rules they like to use

Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel for you

Blaine locked eyes with Kurt for the briefest of moments before looking away. It happened so fast that Kurt almost thought he imagined it.

The sun...
Telling me the night is done
I refuse to let it – stop our fun
Close your eyes and make it dark again.

And kiss...
There's a thought so how 'bout this
Let's pretend that both our lips are made of candy
After all we need sweets every now and then

Once again, Blaine looked at Kurt. Except this time he held his gaze throughout the chorus.

Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel for you

Here we are two strangers in a very different place
Who knows what will happen...to us next
Here we are with nothing but this little spark
It's too cold outside to lay this fire to rest

Kurt's jaw dropped in shock.

Go...
How so very apropos
A goodbye just as soon as I said hello
Well all right, I'll see you later

It's true...
It's just a fantasy for two
But what's the difference if it all could have been true
I guess this is better,

Kurt kept asking himself: Is he singing to me? For me? Blaine was completely overwhelmed with his emotions. He closed his eyes, singing the rest of his song straight from his heart.

But don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel for you

Oh don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel
Don't you want the way I feel for you
Don't you want the way that I feel for you

As the song came to an end, the Warblers were on their feet clapping wildly. Kurt was in utter awe and couldn't take his eyes off Blaine. When Blaine finally opened his eyes, he saw the tears slide down his cheeks. Without saying a word, Blaine put down the guitar and quickly left the room. All Kurt could think was Oh God. What did I do?

Dave

"I'm gay." The room was silent. The pounding of my heart is echoing in my ear. Az hasn't moved. Not even a hair. "Az? Did you hear me?"

"Yes I did."

"Well?"

"I'm glad you told me."

"That's it?"

"It doesn't change anything. You're still my bro."

"Wow." Dave was shocked. Yes, he knew Az said nothing would change, but a small part of him had still expected Az to beat him up or something. He was staring down at his hands, oblivious of the room he was in, when he felt someone sit next to him.

"Dave? Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I – I guess so. I wasn't expecting that."

"What did you expect? That I'd beat the shit out of you?"

"Honestly? Yeah."

Az slapped him the back with a chuckle. "Well dude, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going anywhere. Now what game do you want to play? I'll even be nice and let you pick." Just like that the subject was dropped. He came out to his best friend and nothing bad happened. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all.

A/N: The song used was Don't You by Darren Criss.
