an: Right, so, now that I have a new laptop, I can maybe get back into routine. Sorry about the last chapter being short and all, but like I said I was in my math class on a school computer. I ran out of time in class. I got what I could and updated. Here's a new chapter. Don't hate me too much? I'm trying my best. I may also add a new story soon - maybe Daltonverse or something, I don't know yet. I haven't decided. I might switch over to Harry Potter for the new story, since I've got back into that series again. Thanks to one of my friends. Anyways, that's enough of a rant from me for now. Hope you enjoy the chapter.

The performance ended softly. Kurt gained quite a few smiles. Nick and Jeff were just surprised he'd used the song they'd suggested for him to do. Wes gave a slight smile, though it was a bit concerned. He knew that Kurt always meant what he sung, and maybe it was just him being a worrywort, but he didn't like the undertone he'd gotten from the song and the countertenor's voice. But he didn't speak up to ask in front of everyone. He'd ask later, he decided. It was better than embarrassing Kurt about it in front of everyone, after all. At least, it was in his opinion.

After that, Kurt took a seat with the others, only to gain a few odd comments on the song and performance. But he didn't shrug it off. He responded to the people. It was something that most people wouldn't do. It was a nice change, at least it was in the Warblers at that time. While they leaned on each other and helped each other out, a lot of times, opinions on performances were overlooked in times like this. Kurt wouldn't do that. He never had done that. Not even in the New Directions.
Once the meeting was over, Kurt headed out. He didn't go back to dorms. Instead, he headed out to his car and left. Wes didn't ask. Kurt had managed to tell him right before the meeting ended that he had to go home to help out with something. With what, he didn't ask. It wasn't any of his business. If Kurt wanted him to know, he'd tell him.

But when Kurt returned a few hours later to the dorm room, looking upset, Wes didn't think that was going to hold up. He got up and dropped the conversation he was having with Blaine and David . "Whoa, Kurt, what's going on?"he asked.

Kurt looked up and met Wes's eyes for a moment before he shook his head. "It's nothing,"he answered, sitting down on his bed and playing with a bracelet he had on. Wes was certain that he hadn't had that bracelet on when he'd left. But he recognised it. It was one of Finn's bracelets that he'd gotten when he was younger. It was normal for the brothers to share things like that. Finn still had one of the bracelets that Kurt's mom had made. Puck had another one, Kurt had one of her necklaces that he always wore. It was a sign that he trusted them that he gave the bracelets to the two boys.

"It is not nothing."Wes countered. "You wouldn't come in here looking like someone just died if it was nothing. What's going on?"

As Wes said this, he moved to sit with Kurt on the edge of the countertenor's bed.

Kurt shook his head. Wes sighed softly. He wasn't going to get an answer and he knew it. Kurt wasn't one to talk very much when he was upset.

"C'mon, man, I wanna help, but I can't if I don't know what's going on."

Kurt shook his head again, but spoke. "It's nothing for you to worry about, Wes."he said softly. "Just let it go."

Wes didn't argue. He didn't want to fight with Kurt right now over something like this. He only shook his head and gave Kurt a hug. "Just know if you want to talk about it, I'm always here for you."he said softly.

Kurt half smiled. "I know."

Wes let go of Kurt then and let him be about it. "So, Finn exchanged bracelets with you again?"he asked, motioning to the bracelet.

Kurt smiled faintly. "Yeah. He was having the guys in New Directions over for a gaming marathon and as soon as I walked in, he handed the bracelet to me."he said. "Unfortunately, I got stuck having to referee the game they were playing because they kept arguing over something."

Wes laughed lightly. Blaine and David had gone back to their own conversation to give the two a bit of privacy, so Wes didn't bother explaining. "That sounds about right."he commented.

Kurt nodded in agreement.

That night, after Kurt, Blaine and David were asleep, Wes got to thinking. Maybe things wouldn't be as bad as he had originally thought. As soon as things settled down, it'd get easier to keep up and it wouldn't be so bad.

an: And that, my friends, is all I have for you right now. I'll see if I can't get a better update up soon. As well as that new story. Tell me what fandom you'd like to see a story for - Harry Potter, regular Glee, Daltonverse, etc. I value your opinions. It helps me become a better writer, after all. Hope you enjoyed it.
