There is a slight M-rating here at a point when Chris tells them something. So über sensitive readers beware
Part 11
Oh my God he'd just kissed Wes… Wes! His best, after Blaine, friend at Dalton! He couldn't focus on what Blaine was telling him, all his focus was still on Wes. Why had the senior kissed him? Gaga, why had Kurt kissed him? Did he love Wes? Was Mercedes and Rachel right after all? Sure Wes was always there for him when not even Blaine was. Wes was kind, smart, understanding, caring, funny, handsome, wonderful… amazing… cute… the perfect boyfriend…
"Oh my Gaga", Kurt said as it dawned on him.
"I know right", Blaine said. "Who would've thought that Jeremiah would change his mind?"
"Huh what?" Kurt asked and looked at him in confusion.
"Jeremiah", Blaine said rolling his eyes. "I just told you he called and wanted to go on a date with me. Isn't it wonderful? A girl at the GAP told him to man up and go out with me on a date! Isn't it wonderful?"
"Oh… yes wonderful…"
"Oh I'm sorry Kurt", Blaine suddenly said. "I know you said that you kinda like me but… well I-"
"Don't. Not now. Go on your date Blaine and we'll talk later... okay?"
"Uh… sure… what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to deal with something I should've known a long time ago", Kurt said and walked out of his room.
He looked everywhere for the senior but didn't find him at any of his usual hiding places. Kurt needed to talk to him. He needed to figure something out. Wes hadn't kissed him and Kurt hadn't kissed Wes… they'd just kissed each other and what did that really mean?
Did Wes actually love him, was that what it meant? And did Kurt actually love him more than as a friend? The kiss had told him so and his thoughts when he hadn't been listening to Blaine... and his thoughts while he kissed Wes told him so.
As he searched he came to think of all the things he liked about Wes… and what Wes had done for him, how they touched, how they talked… how they acted around each other. Suddenly he saw Chris further down the hall. The younger boy was looking at the ground looking angry.
"Chris", called and ran up to him.
"What", Chris snapped angrily.
"Uh… Um… Have you seen your brother?"
"Which one I have three of those."
"I mean Wes Chris."
"Why do you ask?" Chris nearly spat.
"Because I kissed him well he kissed me no we kissed each other and then Blaine showed up and wanted to talk to me and he made it sound as if Wes and I could never be anything else than friends and Wes left and I started to think about him and realized I might love him and then I realized he might love me too but I'm not sure and Blaine talked about Jeremiah so I've decided to give up on him but I have to tell your brother and now I can't-"
"Kurt!" Chris snapped and slapped him on the arm. "Breathe! I don't understand a word of what you are saying! Actually… how did you say all that without breathing?"
"Never mind that!" Kurt said and grabbed Chris by the shoulders. "Your brother. Where is he?!" Kurt had something almost crazy in his eyes.
"In the old abandoned music room on the third floor", Chris said just a tad afraid, but he still had that cold glow in his eyes. "He goes there when he wants to be alone."
"Show me!" Kurt demanded and Chris took off down the hall, Kurt following.
They soon got to the room Chris had meant and when Kurt was about to open the door Chris grabbed his hand. Kurt looked at him cocking an eyebrow in question. Chris moved a finger to his lips and then leaned in on the door. Kurt understood and did the same. He heard soft piano music from the inside and then Wes started singing:
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in and they fly
He could be that boy
But I'm not that guy
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that guy
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
He who's winsome, he wins him
Brown hair with a gentle smile
That's the boy he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that guy
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the soar eye
There's a boy I know
He loves him so
I'm not that guy...
Kurt was aware of Chris glaring at him.
"What", he whispered.
"What did you do", Chris growled.
"I… look it's between me and Wes and I want to talk to him about it… I made a mistake and I'm gonna make up for it."
"What kind of mistake?"
"I um… kissed him and then uh kinda said, to Blaine, that there would never be anything between me and Wes… while Wes was still in the room."
"And this was just after you kissed?" Chris asked darkly.
"Um… yes… can-"
Chris pointed a finger at his face.
"Fix it", Chris growled. "I know Wes loves you and that you love him. So if you don't fix this I will lock you both into that room until-"
"Chris it is against regulation to threaten other students", a very familiar voice said and both boys looked up to see the door open and Wes standing there. Chris and Kurt both blushed but Wes smiled.
"Kurt come inside and we'll talk", he said and stepped aside and Kurt hurried inside. Chris made to follow but a look from Wes stopped him. Chris smiled though and whispered something in Cantonese before he ran off. Wes rolled his eyes and closed the door.
"I'm sorry", Kurt hurriedly said. "About what I said when Blaine was there I… I…"
"No I'm sorry Kurt", Wes said. "I shouldn't have kissed you when I know you love Blaine."
"What are you talking about? I kissed you!"
"No."
"Wes I…" Kurt sighed and sat down and leaned against the wall Wes sat down beside him. "I think I have feelings for you."
"You think?" Wes asked sounding almost hurt.
"Well I… I mean I thought I had feelings for you… Now I know I do." He looked at Wes and Wes looked at him.
"But you told Blaine that-" Wes began but Kurt cut him off.
"You know how I get around Blaine… he's been my crush for a while but… I… I think that today it became clear to me that there will never be anything between me and Blaine. I did have some help figuring it out though… my friends Mercedes and Rachel pointed out small hints about my true feelings for you."
"Like how you clung to my arm during the football game", Wes asked smiling gently and Kurt blushed.
"I… I… I… well… um-"
"Kurt", Wes said and took his hand, gently running his thumb over the back of it. "I have feelings for you too… for quite some time actually."
"Since when?"
"Since you put my sweater on", Wes said and laughed, while blushing. "I just saw how adorable you were and my heart melted right away."
"But… why didn't you say something", Kurt said and intertwined their fingers. He looked at their hands as well. He and Blaine had hold hands before… but never like this. When he held Wes' hand it was so gentle and sweet, not full of need… because when Blaine held his hand it was always because he needed something. Wes never needed something from him. Kurt was so deep in his thoughts that he nearly didn't hear Wes say:
"Because I was sure you were in love with Blaine."
Kurt held Wes' hand a bit tighter.
"I guess I was…" he mumbled. "At least back then. But with some help from my friends and actually Jeremiah I realized it wasn't so."
"Jeremiah? You spoke to that prick?"
"No, no… just… when Blaine decided to sing to him I got angry, maybe just a little bit jealous and… and then when Jeremiah asked you out I got furious with jealousy. I also got angry at that manager for hurting 'my Wes'…"
Wes chuckled and held his hand just a little bit tighter.
"Well that's how I felt when I heard about everything Karofsky did to you. No one hurts my Kurt and gets away with it."
Kurt smiled and scooted a little closer to Wes and Wes smiled and pulled him to his side. He let go of Kurt's hand so that he could put an arm around his waist instead. Kurt smiled and rested his head on Wes' shoulder.
"I should've realized sooner", he mumbled.
"I should've told you sooner, Chris told me so."
Kurt's brow furrowed when he remembered that discussion he'd overheard after his solo audition.
"You have got to tell him", Chris said angrily.
"No", Wes answered.
"But why not? What's the worst that could happen?"
"You know how he feels about Blaine, it wouldn't be right to tell him that-"
"Oh stop defending that hobbit and stop putting others before yourself", Chris sounded frustrated. "You always do this! You care too much about others and not enough about yourself. I saw how he looked at you today. When you laughed at his joke, when you shot down his ideas in that harsh-"
"I had no choice."
"Of course you have a choice! You don't have to listen to Blaine and you don't have to put him first!"
Kurt then came to think of the look on Chris and Wes' faces when he entered the room and spoke to them.
Kurt smiled a little but then the door opened and Chris did a double take before blushing.
"Kurt", he said. "How… how long have you been standing here?"
"Not long", Kurt said and walked inside. Wes was looking at him, looking a bit pale and nervous. "I heard you talk and wanted to wait till you were done."
"Did you hear um… anything", Wes asked.
"That Chris want you to tell me something and that you don't because of Blaine", Kurt answered and put his bag on his bed. Chris still stood in the door and Wes was sitting by his desk, chair turned so he was facing the door. The two Asians were quiet and Kurt smiled.
"And it's okay", he said and looked at Wes over his shoulder. "You don't have to tell me, I already know."
"You… you do", Wes asked sounding confused and Chris grinned widely from the door.
"Yeah, I heard Blaine and you talk this morning", Kurt went on with a small smile. "I heard him ask you to stay away from me and act all 'professional' around me. I didn't know he was the jealous type. That means he likes me back."
"Oh", Wes said and smiled a bit strained. "Yeah… he uh can get kind of clingy. Wouldn't you say Chris?"
Kurt turned and looked at the younger Asian, who wasn't smiling as bright anymore.
"Um… I… he… yeah", Chris said. "Yeah he can be a bit clingy to people he likes… um I gotta… go."
"Oh Gaga you were talking about loving me", Kurt exclaimed and Wes looked at him confused.
"Pardon?"
"When I overheard you and Chris talk in our room after my audition for a solo", Kurt explained. "And Chris smiled so wide because he thought I knew you were in love with me and most likely felt the same… but then I shot that down didn't I? Oh I'm such an idiot!"
Wes only smiled and held him a little tighter.
"No you're not", he said. "I wasn't showing that I loved you more than a friend so it's just as much my fault. But I do love you more than a friend."
"I'm… I'm sorry for what I said before… when Blaine interrupted us. I don't know what happened! I don't even understand what I meant with: 'or why would I go for someone like Wes?'!"
Wes smiled gently.
"When I heard you say that I thought that maybe you meant that I'm a coward that doesn't dare to tell my friends I'm gay… or maybe I'm a hypocrite. I mean… I keep telling you that I'm out and proud but still… none of my friends here know that I really am gay. I mean… the only reason I confessed to been having sex with a guy during 'never have I ever' was because I knew they'd never remember it the next day."
"Maybe… maybe you're just afraid that they will be angry at you?"
"Or laugh and think I'm joking… oh wait that happened."
Kurt sighed. "I'm really sorry about that. I can understand why you don't say anything."
"But I want them to know… but they don't believe me."
"We'll figure something out… but first we have to figure this out", he gestured for the two of them.
"It won't be too hard", Wes said smiling. "I love you and… you love me?"
"Yes", Kurt said and blushed, but he smiled too. 'Yes, oh Gaga I love you! I love you I love you! Why didn't I understand that until now?'
"So", Wes said and moved so that he was on his knees in front of Kurt. "What do you say about going out on a real date with me tomorrow night?"
"Wesley Mon… Wait what's your full name?"
Wes smiled gently.
"Wesley Yao Montgomery Chang", he answered. "Montchang for short."
"Wesley Yao Montchang", Kurt said smiling. "Are you asking me out?"
"I believe I do Kurt Oliver Hummel."
"You know my middle name? How?"
"Carole is such a gossip when overwhelmed with emotions... and wine", Wes said grinning. "At the wedding I was taking away dishes when she talked to Burt about the wedding. She was a bit tipsy and took my hand and told me that: 'Kurt Oliver Hummel you are the best stepson a woman can have'. Your dad took her hand and told her: 'Love that's is the boy from the catering firm.' She blushed and asked forgiveness before trying to find you… she did I hope?"
"Yes… but neither of them told me that… oooh the blackmail."
"So", Wes asked taking his hand. "Will you go out on a date with me Mr. Hummel?"
"Why Mr. Montchang I think I will."
Wes grinned happily and kissed him gently on the cheek and Kurt blushed. But then put on his best queen bitch face.
"What was that", he demanded.
"Sorry?" Wes asked confused.
"On the cheek? I thought you knew better than that!"
Wes smiled and leaned in and kissed Kurt gently on the lips. Kurt grinned before kissing him back. Wes pulled back and got up, holding his hand out to Kurt and Kurt took it. He felt a small jolt of electricity go through his arm at the touch and he looked at Wes.
"Did you feel that?" he asked and Wes nodded.
"Come on", he said and led him towards the door. "Let's get back to our room… but I fear we won't be alone."
"Are you talking about Chris?" Kurt asked and they walked out, still holding hands.
"Yeah… he's been really cold and angry. It is mostly aimed at Joseph. He started just before the show at Breadstix started."
"I noticed it too… he didn't even smile fully at Tina or Mike."
When they got to their room, still holding hands I might add, they noticed the door being open just slightly. Wes smiled a sadly and opened it. Kurt understood the sad smile when he saw who was inside the room. Chris was sitting at the foot of Wes' bed, his knees pulled up, arms around them and crying slightly. Wes gave Kurt's cheek a kiss again before he walked over to Chris and put a hand on his knee. Chris' head snapped up and both older boys could see that he had been crying.
"Baby what's wrong", Wes asked and sat down beside him. Chris' lower lip trembled and he started crying again. Wes sighed and pulled Chris into a hug. Kurt hurried over, sat down on Wes' other side and took Chris' hand in his. Chris squeezed Kurt's hand, the way you do when you need comfort and Kurt squeezed back.
"What happened honey", Kurt asked gently.
"It's…" Chris sobbed. "It's Layla."
"You're girlfriend", Wes asked.
"Yeah… she wanted to *sniffle* meet me before our performance so that we could *sniffle* have a short date and then go out tomorrow."
"I see", Wes said and rubbed his brother's arm. "Then what happened?"
"I… I went to her dorm room at Crawford", Chris said and rubbed at his eyes. "The dean let me in because she know me, I'm never there after curfew so she trusts me. I… I went to her room and it was a bit open. I… I heard sounds from in there…"
"What kind of sounds", Kurt asked gently.
"Moans, groans and the sound of skin hitting skin… She doesn't have… a roommate so I opened the door."
Kurt blushed when he realized what must have been going on. Chris suddenly looked angry again.
"And there I found Joseph fucking her from behind and she looked so happy", he growled. "She… she saw me and only smiled and moaned on and… and… Joseph didn't see me at first. Not… not until she put her hand up and forced his face towards the door."
Kurt could see that Wes was furious but when he spoke it was with calm.
"And what did he do", he asked.
"He… he backed off and put a pillow in front of his dick", Chris said angrily but then he sniffled again. "Layla just smiled and asked me to join. So I ran away, shouting to her that it was over." Chris started to cry. "I loved her and she cheated on me." He sobbed in a heartbreaking way.
Kurt felt anger overcome him and he sat on Chris' other side and put his arms around the younger boy. Wes smiled at him slightly while he hugged Chris too. Chris sobbed into his shoulder but he put a hand on Kurt's arm. After a bit Chris fell asleep and Wes and Kurt put him to sleep in Wes' bed. Kurt texted John and Luke to come keep an eye on him if he should wake up… then he stormed out.
"Kurt!" Wes called and ran after him.
The other Warblers were gathered in the Warbler Hall telling each other of their plans for dates the next day or how dates earlier that week had gone. Joseph who was usually boosting around about his latest conquest or dates was way silent. After a bit Luke and John left, saying they had to do something important. The other boys kept talking for a bit.
"Say does anyone know what's up with Mont-junior", Trent asked, it was their nickname for Chris, that or Bubbles or Sunny.
"No", David said taking a bite from an apple. "What do you mean by the way?"
"Oh come on", Nick told him. "You must have noticed that he's been moody since the Lonely Hearts Club Dinner."
"Well before it actually", Thad pointed out. He was sitting on Fred's lap while Fred played with his fingers a bit.
"He was in a bad mood", James asked.
"Yeah I've never seen Sunny act cloudy", Jeff said trying to joke a bit. "He was as bad as Trent after Wes got hospitalized."
"Hey!" Trent objected.
"What it's true!"
Joseph was chewing on his lip. He knew what was up… but he hadn't known that the Layla he'd met outside of Crawford was Chris' Layla. There must be dozens of Laylas at that place right? He was also a teenager and horny and she had been too. He had enjoyed having sex with her… up until he saw Chris in the door. The boy had looked as if someone had hit him or stabbed his heart. Joseph had seen the anger aimed at him… but also the hurt and betrayal.
He didn't mean for it to happen! He couldn't help that girls threw themselves at him right? Right? Oh sweet Jesus he was in trouble. When Wes found out… God when Wes found out… Joseph could predict a lot of pain in his future. Wes would kill him and when the others found out they would take care of what was left after him when Wes was done with him. But… maybe if Joseph asked for forgiveness and explained himself to Chris it wouldn't be so bad? Right?
"-you know Joe", Nick asked him.
"Huh what", Joseph asked and looked up.
"What do you know Joe", Nick repeated. "Do you know anything about this?"
"No", Joseph said and looked at his feet. He stood leaning against the wall just opposite the doors. He and the rest of the Warblers jumped when they were slammed open and Kurt stormed in. The countertenor was angry, so angry he was red in the face. Kurt let his eyes sweep through the room and when he saw Joseph he stormed up to him.
"Kurt", Blaine asked confused just as Wes appeared in the door.
"Kurt!" he shouted and ran forward.
*SLAP* Kurt had slapped Joseph across the face so hard the taller boy stumbled. Wes hurriedly threw his arms around Kurt's waist and pulled him back.
"You complete and utter asshole!" Kurt yelled and clawed at Joseph. "Just wait until I can get my hands on you!"
Joseph felt on his stinging cheek and grimaced before turning to Kurt with wide eyes.
"What the hell", Fred yelled.
"A hand here!" Wes snapped as he could barely hold Kurt back.
"Oh I am so gonna kill you Joseph McElroy!" Kurt screamed.
"What did I do", Joseph asked but the death glare that Wes sent him told him what he had dreaded. "Oh…"
"Oh", Kurt screamed as Fred and Frank helped Wes hold him. "That's all you can say about it? 'Oh'?!"
"What is going on here", David asked and looked between Joseph and Wes and Kurt. "Guys?"
Wes sighed and let go of Kurt slowly, to make sure that Fred and Frank had a secure grip on him. He then fixed his tie and blazer before he turned to Joseph.
"Want to tell our friends what you did to my little brother Joe", he asked with such a chilly tone the boys were amazed that frost didn't come out from him mouth.
"I… I… I", Joseph stuttered when he felt everyone look at him. "Please Wes! I didn't mean it!"
"Oh so you didn't mean to fuck my brother's girlfriend on Valentine's Day?"
"WHAT?!" everyone in the room shouted and Joseph blushed.
"I didn't know it was her! She didn't mention a boyfriend when we started kissing so I guessed-"
"Did she tell you her name", Wes cut him off sharply.
"Yes but I didn't-"
"You were at Crawford looking for a date and found a girl named Layla there and you didn't think twice about it maybe being Chris' girlfriend?"
"There must be dozens of girls named Layla at Crawford", Joseph defended himself. "I didn't know it was her until Chris showed up! You gotta believe me Wes!"
"Why", Wes asked as he slowly inched closer.
'Find the right words to say idiot', Joseph thought.
"I would never go for a friend's girlfriend if I knew who she was."
"Oh so you would go for other guys' girlfriends and you would go for a friend's girlfriend if you didn't know who she was? Oh that explains why you fucked Layla." Wes looked furious.
'Okay that went wrong', Joseph thought.
"No", he hurriedly said. "That's not what I meant! I… I… I would never go for a girl that doesn't want to have sex with me!"
"Oh so you would go for girls that do?"
"Yes!"
"Even when they aren't single?"
"No!"
"But you just said you would. Make up your mind McElroy." Wes crossed his arms.
'Oh shit', Joseph thought. 'This keep going wrong! I must find something smart to say and quick!'
"Uhm", he said. 'Oh yes really smart.' "I… I meant that if a girl is single I would go for her, unless she is the ex-girlfriend of one of my friends." Wes' narrowed eyes seemed to un-narrow a little. 'Yes!'
"So care to explain what happened this evening then", Wes asked calmly. Joseph sighed.
"I can't help it Wes…" he said. "I was horny, she was horny and willing. I can't help that she and most girls want to jump me and have sex with me." Too late he realized that might've been the wrong thing to say, but when Wes' eyes narrowed again he realized it. "Uh I mean she seemed to enjoy it since she kept smiling and um… she didn't care that the door was open a bit and she just… loved it. I can't help it that she loved getting fucked by me." He saw Wes' face darken.
'Uh oh', Joseph thought and then… a fist connected with his nose and he went down. He heard gasps and terrified shrieks. Wes stood above him, his hand was still a fist. His face looked impassive but his eyes were angry… no furious. Wes leaned down.
"Come near my brother again, without intentions of apologizing", he growled. "And I will not go so easy on you." Joseph nodded fearfully and Wes turned to take in what the rest of the room looked like. Kurt had stopped struggling in Fred and Frank's arms, all three looking at Wes with big eyes. The other boys in the room also had various looks of shock on their faces. Wes blushed slightly, cleared his throat and fixes his tie again.
"Excuse me", he said and walked out. Kurt broke out of the grip on him and ran after him.
"You were fantastic", Kurt said and took Wes' hand in his as they walked towards their room. "How you spoke to him and that punch… you didn't hurt yourself did you?"
He hurriedly stood in front of Wes, stopping him from walking and then he looked at Wes' hand… but it seemed to be okay, except for busted knuckles, but they weren't really bleeding. Wes chuckled and kissed his cheek gently and Kurt blushed again. How was it that Wes could make him blush all the time when he couldn't make Wes blush? Maybe the older boy was better at covering it.
"I'm fine Kurt", Wes said and smiled. "But I must say that you impressed me by slapping him so hard." He started to laugh. "The look on his face after you slapped him. Priceless. That's a reason to why I love you so much, you always surprise me."
Kurt blushed again.
"And a reason as to why I love you is that witty tongue of yours", he said and Wes blushed just a little bit.
"Come, let's go tell Chris", he said and took Kurt's hand in his and they walked towards their dorm. They walked in silence, just happy to be able to hold each other's hand. When they'd walked for a bit and stood just outside of the dorm house Kurt smirked and said:
"So how often do you punch people Elfie?"
Wes stopped walking, but he still held Kurt's hand so Kurt was pulled to a halt. He smirked and turned to Wes, who had a look of pure shock on his face.
"How did you know that", he asked.
"Ah ha!" Kurt said triumphant and opened the door. "So I was right! You've played Elphaba in Wicked!"
"Shh not so loud", Wes said and pulled Kurt with him into the abandoned-for-the-night kitchen. Kurt lit the lamp as Wes leaned against the counter and covered his face with his hand. "Gaga how did you find out?"
"I actually guessed", Kurt said and stood opposite him. "When I saw that black and grey ugly sweater in your wardrobe I started to wonder… and when I saw some green on the inside of the collar… added to the fact that you know every song and line that Elphaba has… well it was obvious."
"I curse the day Mike and Chris hung that thing in my wardrobe here", Wes muttered. "They want to humiliate me."
"What do you mean? Is it humiliating to play in Wicked?"
"No… it's what happened afterwards." Wes sighed. "All my parents sent me to a musical camp in LA between my freshman and sophomore year. It was a huge group and we had lots of fun. We got divided into groups and there was this boy there… Josh. He was nice and good looking and he kept flirting with me. The camp put up musicals all summer, for a few days. It was a challenge each time. Then our teachers got the idea to make a competition out of it. Girls vs. boys in a battle of the musicals. To decide which musical to do we pulled names out of a hat. The girls pulled Les Mis and the guys pulled Wicked. So the boys had to take girl parts and so on… I got to play Elphaba and Josh played Fiyero."
"Oh I think I can figure out where this is going", Kurt said and smiled. "You fell in love with him?"
"Yes, but not only me. He flirted around with six other guys and got to kiss and have sex with everyone."
"You too?"
"Me too… I loved the camp and to perform in Wicked. We won the competition and it was decided that we would use the boy's musical to close the camp, show the parents and such… I still had to play Elphaba and Josh Fiyero. During the time I had started to get suspicious about him and when I saw him with another guy I demanded an explanation, that's how those six others and I found out about each other… he then told us that he was in fact not gay at all… he was straight and was practicing his acting skills. He's good."
"Aw come here", Kurt said and pulled Wes into a hug. "I'm sorry honey."
"Don't worry darling I'm over it. Besides I have you now so what does the past matter?"
Kurt smiled and they kissed. It was warm and sweet and full of love. Wes was holding his arms around Kurt's waist and Kurt had his around Wes' neck.
"Uh hum", they heard from the door and looked up. Chris, Luke and John stood in the doorway. Chris was grinning like a madman, while Luke and John looked dumbstruck.
"Finally", Chris said happily, his own troubles forgotten for the moment. "I've been waiting for you two idiots to get together since Kurt and you went to see RENT!" Kurt looked at Wes and smiled at him, still holding their arms around each other. That's when Chris realized his two best friends had gotten really quiet. He turned around and saw the look on their faces.
"Uh… hello", he asked and waved in front of Luke's face and then John's. "Anybody home?"
"I think we broke them darling", Wes said to Kurt.
"I believe we did honey", Kurt answered and smiled. "What's with you two? Never seen a gay couple before?"
Chris laughed and slapped his friends on their arms. That seemed to shake them out of their stupor and John blushed dark red. Luke shook his head.
"So Wes really is gay", he asked.
"Yes", Chris, Kurt and Wes said.
"It's not a joke?"
"No."
"Damn I didn't see that one coming."
"Oh please I act as gay as can be", Wes said and waved with his hand. That's when Chris saw that his knuckles were burst.
"Wesley Yao Montchang what the hell have you done?!" he shrieked and grabbed Wes hand and looked at his knuckles.
"Punched Joseph", Wes said and the three freshmen stared at him. "What he got on my nerves and he hurt my little bro. Kurt started it though, he slapped him."
"I did", Kurt said happily and then nearly toppled over when Chris hugged him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you", Chris said over and over again and the entire group laughed.
"So if these two guys know", Kurt whispered to Wes. "Will they be taken seriously?"
"Who knows", Wes said. "We are school free tomorrow so the only boys around will be the Warblers."
"Not me", Kurt confessed. "I am going home in the morning."
"We too… well to mom's place", Wes said. "Need a ride?"
"Hey", John cut in. "How about a movie night to cheer Chris up? You guys can tell us what you did to Joseph and Chris can forget slutty Layla!"
"Sounds like a good plan", Kurt said. "Our room?"
"You know it", Chris said and took their hands and pulled them there.
McKinley also had a school free day and Wes told Kurt that he'd pick him up that evening but he had some planning to do, so Kurt could hang out with his girls. So Kurt and the Glee girls, save Lauren because he didn't know her and Quinn who was sick, sat in Mercedes' room talking.
"Kurt slap that hobbit for me when you see him tonight okay", Santana asked. "I don't like being talked to in that way."
"I will, when I see him… but that will probably be tomorrow because I have better things to do tonight."
"Oh", Tina asked sipping on a soda. "What exactly?"
"I got a date."
The girls stared at him, then smiled and started to ask a billion questions and hour. Kurt only laughed and held up his hands.
"Ladies, ladies one at a time", he said.
"Is it a dolphin", Brittany asked.
"Yes Britt it's a dolphin", Kurt answered.
"Where will he take you", Rachel asked. "Somewhere romantic?"
"I don't know, he hasn't told me yet. He asked me out yesterday."
"Yesterday", Mercedes asked. "Why not before yesterday?"
"Because before yesterday he thought I was still in love with Blaine."
"And are you", Tina asked.
"No it keeps fading away and he starts to annoy me just a bit."
"So who is it then", Santana asked.
"Oh just a boy at Dalton."
"Have we met him", Rachel asked.
"Yes."
"Did you ask him or did he ask you?"
"He asked me."
"What's he like", Tina asked smirking a bit, she was sure she knew who it was. Chris and Mike weren't the only Changs that could nag.
"Oh he's nice, kind, compassionate, funny, smart, charming, cute… in one word: perfect."
"Is he like Santana's boyfriend", Brittany asked. "She keeps telling me how he would be perfect for you."
"Uh…"
"It is Wes isn't it", Tina said smirking and Kurt blushed. "Awwww I knew it!"
"Looks like we were right", Mercedes told Rachel.
"Oh yes, we rule", Rachel answered and they high fived.
"Ladies", Kurt began.
"Oh put a sock in it Hummel", Santana said happily. "I know my Homo loves you so it has to be him." Then her face darkened. "It better be him or I'll cut you."
"Santana down", Mercedes said. "But seriously White-Boy is it Olive-boy or not?"
"Yes", Kurt said with a sigh. "It's Wes, now don't you girls get any spying ideas."
The girls looked at each other and grinned, they were so spying.
"Good evening Mr. Hummel-Hudson", Wes said when Burt opened the door.
"Evening", Burt said and stepped aside. "You're a bit early."
"Yes, well I wanted to ask for your permission to take your son on a date."
"Hm… it depends on what you are planning", Burt crossed his arms.
"Well I plan to take him to a restaurant in town, not Breadstix, but Le Musico."
"Hm… sounds Middleterranean."
"Do you mean Mediterranean sir?"
"Don't sir me kid… call me Burt."
"Yes sir."
Burt rolled his eyes and noticed the flowers.
"Sunflowers", he noted. "Not Kurt's favorite flowers."
"I know… they are for Mrs. Hummel-Hudson. I have something else for Kurt."
"Carole is in the kitchen."
"Thank you sir."
"It's Burt."
"I'm sorry sir."
The boy hurried towards the kitchen and Burt closed the door with a sigh. He had some work to do.
"It was so thoughtful of you to give Carole those flowers", Kurt said as they got into the car. "I thought you'd bring flowers for me."
"Well I have something better for you", Wes said as he started the engine. "It's in the backseat." Kurt looked back and saw a package that was neatly wrapped.
"Get on open it", Wes teased as he started to drive. "I think you will love it. But not as much as your own outfit, baby you look amazing."
"As do you, smart and stylish."
Kurt was dressed in black trousers, a white shirt, a grey vest, a red jacket and a black fedora. Wes was dressed in black trousers that hugged his body in all the right places, he wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest, shoes that matched perfectly and a black fedora on his head. His trousers also had thin suspenders, but he'd let them hang. Kurt took the package and opened it and smiled. It was the sweater he'd wore when Mrs. Chang put that sauce stain on his shirt, the first night he spent with the Montchangs.
"I love it", he said smiling wide. "Oh I love you!" He bent over and kissed Wes on the cheek. Wes took his hand and gave it a kiss. His eyes never leaving the road. They drove for a little bit and Kurt gasped when he saw what restaurant they were going to.
"Le Musico", he asked. "Oh Wes I've always wanted to go here!"
"I guessed as much", Wes said, jumped out of the car and walked around to Kurt's side opening the door for him. "After you my dear."
"Why thank you good sir", Kurt said and took Wes' hand. The older boy closed Kurt's door and then his own, locked the car and walked them over to the restaurant. None of them realyy carrying about the car that held five girls pull up on the parking lot.
"And that was what happened after we sang after we sang at regionals", Kurt said while taking a bite of his dessert. "But I guess you already knew all that…"
"I did but it is fun to have someone other than my brother telling me that story", Wes said. "Mike tend to exagerate a bit... well this time he didn't so I guess I have to apologize."
Kurt laughed and Wes smiled at him.
"I still think you should've won…" he said. "But it may just be my hate for Vocal Adrenaline."
"Yeah Mike mentioned you being up against them these past four years. David also said so during sectionals. He said it was the first time since the 60's that the Warblers went past sectionals."
"That is not… completely true", Wes said and blushed.
"What", Kurt asked and stared at Wes. "What do you mean?"
Wes bit his lip. "Well um you see… when I was in freshman year the Warblers kinda… made it to nationals."
"What?! But-"
"We lost there to Vocal Adrenaline and they saw us as a threat so they made sure to meet us at sectionals instead. The guys who are juniors now… when they started our seniors didn't want to give them too much hope so when we lost at sectionals they said it hadn't happened since the sixties."
"And then it continued to this day?"
"Yes", Wes mumbled. "Chris knows the truth of course… I mean he watched me perform but he's swore to not say a word… can I trust you to keep quiet too?"
"Of course", Kurt said and took Wes' hand. "So… who was the lead back then?"
"Um… me actually."
"No way?! Are you kidding why aren't you still lead?"
"I got voted chairman sophomore year so it wasn't fair that I would keep singing lead. We had one of our juniors do it and he continued until Blaine arrived the year after."
"Wow… so does any Warbler know this except for Chris?"
"I only tell the ones I love the most… only you and Chris."
"Aw you are a charmer Mr. Montchang."
"Only for you darling."
"Aw you're so cute." They kissed.
"By the way Elfie", Kurt said. "Are there any videos of you in Wicked?"
"Yes", Wes muttered.
"I would love to see them."
"Now you won't. The stage is horrible and some of the actors were as well. And don't get me starting on hair, clothes and some of the makeup."
"Oh please, pretty please with sugar on top." Kurt gave him his best puppy eyes.
"No Kurt please… and if you ask Chris for any videos your shoe collection will suffer."
"Eeep", Kurt said. "I better back off then."
"Good boy", Wes said and kissed his cheek and Kurt blushed. "I love you."
"Love you too."
"Awww", Rachel and Tina cooed from the girls' hiding spot. A few tables away from the duo.
"They are so sweet I'll get diabetes", Santana remarked, but she had something soft in her eyes. Finally her homo seemed to be happy.
"I think they're cute", Brittany said. "And Kurt is happy and that other dolphin is cute. But I thought he was a shark. Satan didn't you date him?"
"I did but it didn't work since he's a dolphin." The girls looked at her curiously. "Oh hell no I won't kiss and tell… but I can say Kurt is in for good sex."
Rachel covered her ears while the others sniggered, not kiss and tell ey?
"Oh this is exiting", Tina said peaking over her menu.
"Excuse me", their waiter said and the girls looked up. "Are you ready to order yet?"
"Yes but we actually need these so that our friend who's on a date won't see us", Brittany said and the guy looked intrigued.
"Who", he asked and Mercedes discretely pointed at Wes and Kurt. "Oh I see… cute. So I'll come back later then?"
"Yes", Rachel said. "Now go something is about to happen."
Wes had gotten out of his seat and was holding Kurt's hand. He gently kissed it before he headed to the piano in the middle of the room. Le Musico was famous for letting their guests play when they wanted to. There was a band and they always stopped to play when someone sat by their piano. Wes knew this and intended to use it. So he sat down by the piano and turned the mike on.
"Testing", he said. "Good evening everybody I hope everyone is having a nice evening, especially the spies at table seven."
The girls noticed Kurt look smugly in their direction and they lowered their menus while blushing. Wes smiled at them and warmed up his piano fingers by playing some scales as he spoke.
"This song I'm going to sing is dedicated to my beautiful date this night", he said and looked at Kurt who blushed. "And I hope I won't slaughter it completely."
A few customers giggled and then Wes started to play and sing:
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side – He looked at Kurt who was smiling.
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my heart
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years - "Wow", Rachel said. "His voice is amazing. Why didn't he sing at sectionals?" The other girls hushed her.
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like a shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear – The band also knew this song so they joined in playing.
I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls
And when just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all
And I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear – Wes got up from the piano and walked over to Kurt during the trumpet solo and held his hand out to him. Kurt took it and got up. Wes continued to sing and Kurt joined in: (Both, Wes)
I swear (I swear) by the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse, till death do us part
I'll love you with every (single) beat of my heart
I swear, I swear, oh, I, swear
The crowd cheered and the girls smiled wide. Wes turned to Kurt.
"Kurt Hummel would you like to be my boyfriend?" he asked and Kurt smiled.
"I would love that", he said and they kissed.
"Awww", the girls cooed and Kurt pointed at them and then at the door, they ran off. An angry Hummel was not a funny thing after all.
