Disclaimer: If I owned, Jesse would have been given at least one song per episode where he appeared. I'm so sad he only sang once….I love Jonathan Groff's voice. And I like St-Berry and dislike Finchel…so yeah obviously own nothing.

Chapter 14

Blaine sat quietly, looking out the window, David's words echoing in his mind. What to do now? What was he supposed to do? David had mentioned going back to how he first was with Kurt….Suddenly, Blaine knew what to do. He took out his cellphone and quickly wrote a message.

Kurt was having fun chatting with his old friends when suddenly his phone indicated he had received a message. He lifted his eyebrows.

"So who's it from boo?" Mercedes asked

"It's…it's actually from Blaine" he replied, surprised to see the name he hadn't seen in on his phone for weeks. Mercedes turned to Rachel who smiled like the cat that ate the canary and had cream afterwards. Kurt looked at her with suspicion.

"Rachel…." Kurt said with a warning in his voice. "What did you do?"

"Me?" She answered still smiling brightly. "Nothing at all. Noah however…."

"Someone called me?" Puck said

"Great job Puckerman. You're useful when you want to." Mercedes said. Kurt looked between them with a frown. What was going on?

"Ah so it worked then? Alright! The Puckausaurus strikes again baby!"

"Really Puckerman, can you be any fuller of yourself?" Kurt asked.

"Hey don't hate on me when I just got your boy-crush finally getting his head out of his ass."

"Wha…What?"

"I told you all you needed was a guy hitting on you for him to make his move and I was right. Look at this" Puck said taking Kurt's phone "Kurt. I know we don't talk anymore but there's things I need to tell you. Please meet me outside in five. Looks like someone has a declaration to make"

"Blaine doesn't like me like that" Kurt said sadly. Mercedes and Rachel looked at each other sadly. Surely Blaine liked liked Kurt?

"Are you kidding me Hummel? If his eyes were throwing daggers I'd be death 20 times over by now. The dude kept glaring and making fists every time I came within touching distance of you. I didn't even need to touch you for his eyes to be all green. Trust me Hummel, I've seen my fair share of jealous partners. I know a 'how dare he touch what's mine' look when I see one. Now go get yourself a boyfriend already instead of wallowing in self-pity."

"Noah's right, Kurt." Rachel said. "This is the big moment so go out there and get your man. But remember what Brit says; be hard to get but not too much."

Kurt blushed as his friends physically pushed him out of the room and encouraged him to go speak to Blaine. Taking a deep breath, Kurt opened the doors and went outside.

"Hello Blaine" Kurt said to the boy who had his back turned on him. Blaine's breath was caught up his throat.

"Hello Kurt" he said almost shyly. "How….you….you look good today. Happy."

"Yes well it's not every day almost the entire New Direction group comes to visit me and sing songs with me."

"Yeah, I saw you out there and I have to say Kurt, you looked and sounded amazing. I mean…that song Defying Gravity, I never thought you could pull off things like that" Blaine said, awe in his voice. Kurt felt himself blush.

"I…when…Gosh this is so hard" Blaine said looking to the ground. "I… I asked you to meet me because today has brought to light many things for me and I need…." Blaine looked up at Kurt blushing. Blaine sighed. This was really hard. He wanted Kurt to understand he was sincerely sorry and sincere in his intention of being his friend again and maybe more.

"What is he saying?" Rachel asked Mercedes and Brittany from where they were hiding to spy on the boys.

"I don't know but this is fun. We're like spies. I've never been a spy before." Brit said.

"Really, I thought that's why you joined Glee in the first place. To spy on us for Sue." Mercedes said.

Birt frowned. "I joined Glee because San joined Glee."

"Ah, yes of course" Cedes said.

"But seriously what's wrong with this boy?" Rachel said. "He needs to apologize to Kurt and here he is just stumbling every word. I should kick his butt, or better, ask Noah to go and do it for me."

"Calm down white girl. Give the poor boy the time to make it right."

"I just…I saw how happy you were out there and I realised that….well you weren't happy with the Warblers and I….I understand now."

"That's….great" Kurt said slowly. Inside of him, many things were going on. When his friends had pushed him to see Blaine, he had been shy and nervous but now standing in front of Blaine, all the hurt, bitterness and anger he had felt since joining Dalton brewed deep inside of him.

"What are you really trying to say Blaine?" Kurt said rather abruptly. He couldn't help it. It's just….Blaine had hurt him so much and so deep.

"Ouch boo that sounded mean"

"Oh please, if I were him, I would have kicked him in the balls for putting me through all the shit he's put Kurt through."

"Yeah right" Mercedes said. "Like you kicked St-James in the balls for making an omelette on your head or Finn for that article."

"First of all, everyone, you and me included, were way too busy trying to stop Noah from beating Finn and getting sent to Juvie again to even think about kicking Finn anywhere. As for Jesse….it….it wasn't the same thing at all" Rachel said, a faint blush appearing on her face.

"I think it was." Brit said and Rachel glared at her. As for Mercedes, she looked suspiciously at Rachel. Since when was St-James back to being Jesse exactly? And did she hallucinate or did Rachel blushed when she had said St-James' name. Uhm. Strange. Mercedes shrugged. Oh well. She'd just have to see if Rachel acts weird again or if this is just one of those one time weirdness of Rachel Berry.

"I…I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry Kurt. I'm so sorry. I…the way I acted with you, it isn't how I act with the Warblers."

"No really? I hadn't noticed at all" Kurt said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Blaine looked like Kurt had run over his dog…twice in a row.

"I…look the way I'm with Blaine and Wes, this is the way I am with them and I'm happy with that. But I'm not happy with acting like that with you because with you, it's just not how I am. I…I can be many things Kurt. I don't have to act with you like I act with them and vice versa, right?"

Kurt thought about it for a second. He found Warbler!Blaine diluted compared to his Blaine but….if that was what made Blaine happy who was he to say that Blaine should change. After all, wanting the other to change had been what had put a stop to their friendship in the first place.

"Alright, I can accept that." Kurt answered.

"Good…..that's good."

"Wow, they're really taking this slow. It's like watching a soap opera; it takes three months before the good part of a story finally comes about." Mercedes said.

"I know. It's excruciating, it means very painful Brit, to watch" Rachel said.

"Look Kurt, I'm just really sorry. I should never have asked or expected you to change how you were to fit in because…." Blaine had tears coming to his eyes. "Because there isn't anything wrong with you. Not a single thing I would ever change about you. You're….You're perfect Kurt, just the way you are."

"Awwwwww" the three hiding girls said simultaneously. " Why can't I have a guy like that?" Rachel asked. "Oh please white girl. You've had two guys in one year, let the other girls have a guy for a change."

"I…uh…well thank you" Kurt said, red like a tomato.

"I mean it. You're…an extraordinary person and I lo..like you just the way you are and I'm sorry I didn't understand what you were going through and that I wasn't there for you. I'm sorry I made your adaptation period worse instead of making it better. I'd…I'd really like for us to be friends again."

"No!" Rachel exclaimed. "You don't want to be friends you want to be boyfriends! Just tell him already. I swear if this is just a 'I want to be your friend again' meeting, I'm going to go and punch that guy."

"Girl you're way too invested in this"

"Yeah well I have no love life of my own, excuse me for wanting one for my best friend" Mercedes almost cringed. It was just weird to think that her best friend was also Rachel Berry's best friend. But she was getting used to it. Beside, unlike her, Kurt was pretty much the only person Rachel was truly close to.

"So you want to be friends?" Kurt asked. Was that it? Was friendship really all Blaine wanted? Was Puckerman wrong about the jealous glares?

"I uh" Blaine felt himself flushing. "Yes" he finally said. 'Darn it' Blaine thought. 'No I don't want to be just friends.'

"Alright. Friends then" Kurt said hiding his urge to cry behind a smile. "If you'll excuse me, I'll go back to entertaining my other friends since they'll soon be leaving. I'll see you later." Kurt added rushing to get back inside. He was in such a hurry that he didn't even notices the three girls spying by the door.

"That's it!" Rachel said after seeing Kurt's eyes filled with tears. "I'm going to kill this jerk" She said walking quickly and determinedly to where Blaine was.

Blaine was feeling like shit. He hadn't been able to admit to Kurt than what he felt for him was more than friendship and that he wanted Kurt to be his. Suddenly, the brown headed girl Kurt sang Defying Gravity with was walking straight for him and before he knew it, Blaine found himself slapped….hard.

"You…..You are a jerk. An unworthy jerk who doesn't deserve someone as uniquely amazing and awesome as Kurt." Rachel was pissed. Really, really pissed. How dare that boy hurt Kurt again when it was obvious the jerk liked Kurt back! Argh! She could slap him again! Or better kick him in the balls. But she didn't have the time because Brittany and Mercedes had joined her and were restraining her from hurting him.

"Rachel calm down." Brit said. "It's not his fault he's stupid. I should know"

"Mercedes" Blaine said. "Can you tell me what's going on?"

"Oh don't get me started on what's wrong white boy. You messed up big time again boy"

"No" Rachel said, getting an idea. "Actually this is perfect. Kurt is now certain that he has no future in this way with Blaine and is therefore all open for Noah to make his move. It's good, can you see Mercedes? Kurt will heal from this and in the meantime Puck will be there for him and then both of them will be happy" she said, then tuned to Blaine and said. "together" Blaine's eyes widened. Crap, he had been so shy at the idea of asking Kurt out he had completely forgotten about the guy who kept touching Kurt everywhere. Darn, darn, darn!

"I'll call Noah right now! Hey Noah? Guess what? Kurt and Blaine talked and now you're all free to make a move on Kurt because Blaine wants to be 'friends'."

"Already in on it, Rach. Making a move right now"

When Noah Puckerman had seen Hummel entering the school alone and ready to cry, he knew instantly that it fell on to him to fix this mess and wasn't surprised at Rachel's call. Oh well, it's not like flirting wasn't fun.

"Hey Hummel wait up" Noah said

"What do you want Puckerman?" Kurt said harshly.

"Man, Rach told me, I'm so sorry. Come here dude" Puck said, bringing Kurt into his arms and hugging him. It was an attestation of the devastated state Hummel was in that he let Noah do it at all. And suddenly, the Blaine guy arrived and Puck offered him his most self-satisfied smirk.

Blaine was frozen after Rachel's call but quickly woke up and rushed inside to stop that…that jock from taking advantage of his Kurt. Wait did he say his? Yes he did say his because Kurt was his darn it! And when he saw the jerk with his arms all around Kurt, touching Kurt with his hands and with that smirk like he now owned Kurt…..Blaine lost it. Completely lost it. He ran towards the two and pushed the jock off of Kurt as hard as he could.

"Blaine what the hell?" Kurt exclaimed, wiping the tears that had fallen from his eyes.

"I…I ….I can't take this Kurt. I can't see this…guy with his hands all over you, it makes me sick. It….He has no right. He has no right to touch you like that."

"Oh really?" Kurt said getting angry. "And why not? Did hear me complaining about it?"

"I ah…no but you…you should. I mean he can't just act like you're his, you're not!"

"Then whose am I Blaine?" Kurt asked "If I can't be Noah's boyfriend, whose should I be, huh?"

Blaine looked at Kurt's angry eyes and summoned as much courage as he could find in his body and answered. "Mine. I want you to be my boyfriend Kurt." And just like that Blaine found himself being slapped for the second time that day.

"How dare….argh, you jerk do you have any idea what you did to me. Trying to change me, not talking to me, and saying you only wanted to be friends, you couldn't have simply said this earlier and saved me the heartbreak of you not loving me like I love you?"

"I…I'm sorry Kurt. I'm so sorry. I was scared. I…I'm not used to doing this I could never take the risk at my old school and here no one really interested me until this new lost kid appeared out of nowhere." Blaine said giving Kurt doe eyes that made all Kurt's anger disappear. Kurt hugged Blaine who hugged right back. "So is that a yes to being my boyfriend Kurt" Blaine asked just to be sure. "Yes silly, it's a yes!" Kurt said.

Then suddenly, a huge squeal was heard. Rachel and Brittany just had to expressed their joy. Rachel rushed to Noah and hugged him. "Noah Puckerman, you're amazing. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Thank you so much for doing this!" And then she turned to the new couple and congratulated them and went to tell everyone else in Glee Club the good news. The Warblers had seen how amazing New Directions were, Blaine had finally taken his head out of his butt and asked Kurt out…..Oh yeah! She was awesome!
