The step forward in Roman and Kurt's relationship seemed to affect the dynamic of the group the following day.
Kurt made certain to hold Roman's hand any chance he got and Roman did not seem to mind. The pair even returned to their usual seats besides one another as Allison finally seemed to understand the pair's relationship.
She had been surprised to see Kurt so open about his relationship with another boy as the latter had always been wary about it ever since discovering his sexuality.
Kurt liked the term pansexual. Felt that it described him properly. Sarah was the first person he told followed by Allison who was his girlfriend at the time of his self discovery. Reade, Tasha, Patterson, and David were the next ones told. Everyone supported him wholly and saw no problem with Kurt being true to himself.
The only person who had yet to be told was Kurt's father. His father wasn't an unkind man but when it came to the topic of sexuality, the man was quick to preach straight from the bible.
It was such actions that had prompted Kurt to not tell his father as he knew it would only cause further trouble.
After having decided that they wanted to be an official couple, Kurt had told Roman about his pansexuality. Roman, in turn, had told him about his bisexuality. Jane eventually caught up to them in the hallway and was beaming from ear to ear when she saw the pair of boys holding hands.
"Problem solved?" Were her only words before she fell in step besides them.
Lunch the following day had been an interesting event as Allison was the only one who had yet to be told of Kurt and Roman's relationship.
Patterson, David, and Sarah had been informed by Roman during first period while Tasha had been informed by Jane. Reade was filled in by Sarah as soon as she was able to.
The whole group was awaiting Allison's reaction the moment Roman and Kurt walked over hand in hand. Allison had beamed at the sight of Kurt before her gaze dropped to his hand which was firmly grasping Roman's.
Eyes widening and a little gasp had been her first reaction before she jumped to her feet and smiled. "I'm so happy for you." Had somehow escaped her lips before she grabbed her tray and darted away.
Roman had pulled away from Kurt and nodded after Allison before he settled at the lunch table. Kurt had only nodded before rushing off to speak to Allison in hopes of fixing whatever damage he caused.
An awkward silence had then settled over the group until Kurt returned. He assured them all that Allison was fine and the situation had been handled.
But one look into Kurt's eyes told a different story.
"Everything's not okay between you and Allison. Is it?" Roman asked as he faced Kurt.
They both were sitting in sixth period and had been working on their respective projects when Roman had finally decided to ask his question.
Kurt sighed as he placed the carving blade down and wrapped his other hand tightly around his wood carving.
"No. She was heartbroken because she felt I strung her along, made her believe we had a chance of getting back together. I never told her about us so that was my own stupid mistake."
Crinkling his nose, Roman looked down at his hands before raising his gaze. "You should have told her when she started her obvious advances."
Kurt angrily pounded the table with his right hand causing everyone in the classroom to jump in their seats.
"Everything alright, Mr. Weller?" Mr. Woodley called out from the front of the classroom as he pushed his glasses back up his nose.
"Yeah, just saw a spider." Kurt lied, forcing a smile. Mr. Woodley simply nodded before returning to the manual he had been reading.
When Kurt turned to look at Roman, he found the blonde glaring at him. "I was only telling the truth. No need to get mad about it."
"I know, I know. I'm sorry." Kurt ran his hand through his short brown hair as he sighed yet again. "I should have seen that she still cared for me and I should have made it clear that we were a thing."
"A couple. The word you are looking for is a couple, Kurt." Roman retorted before swiveling back around in his seat to return to his work.
The low screeching of Kurt's chair filled the air as he drew himself closer to Roman. Placing the wooden carving before the blonde, Kurt began to speak.
"I was going to give you this when I was done but I think right now is a good time."
Turning green eyes towards the carving, Roman studied the small carving that had been placed there. It was a dragon with its head thrown back in an open roar with its wings expanded fully on both sides. A dragon. Kurt had given him a stuffed dragon that he won at the mall's arcade when the first inklings of their relationship had began.
Turning his gaze towards Kurt, Roman found the other teen smiling.
"For you. A reminder that this wonderful relationship is just as magical as this here dragon."
Roman couldn't help the bubble of laughter that left his lips upon hearing Kurt's words.
"Cheesy but cute. Very cute." He cooed as he pulled Kurt into a kiss with a hand tightly curled in the front of his shirt.
And as Kurt's hands wound themselves around Roman's waist and their kiss was deepened, the moment was shattered by Mr. Woodley's raised voice.
"Mr. Weller and Mr. Kruger! This is woodshop not a make out session!"
The classroom burst into whistles and laughter as a flushing Kurt and Roman pulled away awkwardly.
"Our apologies sir." Kurt muttered as he cleared his throat.
Roman simply ducked his head and couldn't help but smile when Kurt's hand found his.
When the school bell rang signaling the end of another school day, Roman was already all packed up. Kurt was still dusting off his side of the table so Roman decided to wait for him outside the classroom.
Roman had been so busy messing with his phone and hadn't noticed when Kurt exited the classroom. He was taken by surprise when Kurt suddenly pulled him into the shaded part of the hallway.
"What the-" Roman's words were cut off by Kurt's mouth pressing hungrily against his.
"Trying to make up for lost time last period." Kurt managed to mumble out before Roman's mouth was back on his.
Pocketing his phone, Roman then threw both arms around Kurt's neck before drawing him into a deep and heated kiss. Kurt let out a sound of appreciation as he drew the blonde in by the hips.
The two continued their steamy make out in the school hallway until a departing teacher caught them and scared them away.
And as Kurt and Roman ran away hand in hand, they couldn't help but smile at how happy and content they both were in that single moment.
