Since that night, Kurt and Blaine had grown even closer, they understood each other even better now.

"…and he's just so perfect." Kurt sighed happily, spooning his raspberry yogurt into his mouth.

"Boy, you have got it real bad." Mercedes said, smirking.

"Yeah." Kurt said dreamily.

"But you've only been dating for a couple of weeks." Mercedes pointed out. "I don't want to see you get hurt again."

"Mercedes," Kurt said, rolling his eyes. "Blaine would never hurt me."

Mercedes stilled looked worried. "I just don't want you to go off the deep end for Blaine and then get your heart broken."

"I think it's already too late. He has gone off the deep end." Finn walked up to the lunch table and dropped his tray on to the table. Kurt cringed and the pile of fries and the greasy hamburger.

He took a bite of his burger and a swig of soda before saying to Mercedes, "You should see him after Blaine leaves." He chuckled and put on a high pitched voice, "'Oh, Blaine said the sweetest things….' 'Blaine gave me this…' Blaine did that' it's horribly sickening actually" he swallowed the rest of the burger and started shovelling fries into his mouth.

"Blaine's on the way out, by the way, he's still showering, I think." Finn frowned slightly. "Tough practice today actually, Coach Bieste is a little tense about the game coming up. I don't know why, we're playing really well."

The door to the cafeteria opened and in walked Blaine. Kurt's eyes lit up when he saw the boy. Azimio walked in behind him and the spark died off almost immediately.

It stayed dead as Azimio followed Blaine over to the table and sat down next to Finn while Blaine scooted closer to Kurt. "What's he doing here?" Kurt hissed. "He's nice, Kurt." Blaine whispered, as if Azimio was a puppy that he wanted to bring home. Kurt scoffed.

"Listen dude." Azimio said loudly. Mercedes and Finn turned to look at him as he spoke to Kurt. "I'm sorry about all the times I shoved you into lockers and bullied you and stuff." Kurt's eyes narrowed dangerously. "It was mean…of me. And you really are kinda cool. And Blaine is awesome. So, I'm sorry." He held out his hand for Kurt to shake.

Kurt, eyes significantly less menacing, reached out and grasped hands, his almost disappearing in Azimio's large burly ones. And then he smiled. "Thanks."

Blaine sighed with relief and twirled his fork in his pasta. His hair was still wet, little drops of water clung like beads to the dark curls. Kurt reached up and fiddled with the one at the nape of his neck, before dropping his head on to Blaine's shoulder and finishing his yoghurt, oblivious to the chitchat at the table.

"Welcome to the sectional show choir championships, first of we have…" the overly cheerful voice was muffled by the door that Rachel shut behind her. "Alright, team, I have a few words I want to say before we go watch the losers outside." Everyone groaned, including Mr. Shue. She cleared her throat, "Now…."

"Is she always like this?" Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear. "Yes, yes she is."

Blaine looked thoughtful, "Hmm, reminds me of Wes." Kurt snorted.

"…and that is all. Thank you." Brittany was the only one who clapped.

The green room lights flickered.

"Is it time already? Rachel you talked through the first performance!" Tina exclaimed.

"Quick guys! Out now! Go!" Mr Shue said.

With no time to be nervous, Kurt practically stumbled on stage and opened his mouth to sing and just like that it was over. He didn't remember a single thing about the performance.

He was introduced to Blaine's friends the warblers after the performance, he remembered that. Wes and David were funny.

And the next thing he knew, he found himself riding on the bus back to school. Rachel holding the trophy and Blaine wrapping his arm around his shoulders laughing loudly.

Walking to Blaine's car, the two boys were basking in the after glow of winning, talking about the competition. They were going to hang out at Blaine's house, down by the lake.

But when they got there, there was an unexpected surprise.

"Oh my God." Blaine whispered, he was shaking. "You."
