Sorry for the slow updates, guys. I've been busy with school lately. Midterms are coming up next week so I've got a lot of stuff to get done.

-.-.-.-

The weekend passed by way too quickly for Kurt's liking. Before he knew it, he was walking through the halls of Dalton, on his way back to his dorm room. He opened the door to his room and saw that his roommate was still out. He entered and set about putting his things away. Once his clothes and bag were out of the way, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He had turned it off before they went to Carole's birthday dinner and didn't bother to turn it back on for the rest of the weekend. He needed time to think without distractions.

A knock on his door interrupted the silence of the room. Kurt stood up from where he had been sitting on his bed and opened the door to see Tyler standing there. The taller boy stuck his hands casually into his pants pocket and gave him a tentative smile. "I noticed your car in the parking lot."

"I just got back," Kurt shrugged. He didn't move from the doorway, so it left Tyler to awkward stand in the hall in front of his room.

"I called you a few times and sent you a couple of texts," Tyler looked at Kurt with an unsure expression on his face.

"My phone died and I forgot to bring my charger."

"Oh," Tyler looked down at his shoes before looking back up at Kurt. "Did you get my call on Saturday, though?"

"I did," Kurt nodded. He realized this was probably not the kind of conversation they should be having in the hall where anyone could pass by and over hear them, so he moved further into the room and gestured for Tyler to enter. "That was one of the last phone calls I had, actually."

Kurt sat down on his bed and crossed his legs. Tyler looked around the room before taking a seat on the desk chair. He bit his lip nervously before turning to Kurt. "And?"

"And, I'm sorry for not believing you when you told me." Kurt noticed a frown on Tyler's face. He must have also noticed the coldness in Kurt's tone.

"Did you hear everything?" Tyler asked tentatively. "I was kind of hoping to talk to you afterwards but the call ended.

"No, not everything," Kurt leaned back on his hands and looked at Tyler. "I stopped listening at the part where he doesn't regret the bet? Or something like that."

"He said he didn't regret it because if it hadn't been for that bet, he might have never gotten to know you," Tyler offered.

"I thought I left all this stupid relationship drama when I left McKinley," Kurt said more to himself.

"But he apparently really cares for you," Tyler added. "He said he loves you."

"How do I know he's being honest this time?" Kurt raised a shape eyebrow at Tyler, who could only shrug in response. "He's apparently quite the actor."

"Maybe—"

"You know what?"Kurt interrupted. "It's not even this stupid bet that pisses me off the most."

"Really?"

"It's the fact that he lied to me," Kurt responded angrily. "I asked him about the bet and he told me that you were making it up or some kind of bull like that. And I believed him. And he lied to me."

"But he called off the bet. Everything is okay now, right?" Tyler asked timidly.

"No, it isn't." Kurt answered coldly. "If he had just told me about this when I asked him the first time—I'd probably be upset, but I wouldn't be as livid as I am now. He lied. And, apparently the first part of our relationship was a lie too because it was all part of some bet. If he could lie to me then, what's stopping him from lying to me again? How do I even know he wasn't lying when he told me he loves me?"

"Don't you think you're overreacting a little?" Tyler asked hesitantly.

"Honestly, I don't know," Kurt shrugged. "I've been told I tend to act irrationally sometimes, especially when I get emotional. I dressed like a trucker for a week and sang Mellencamp once because I thought my dad found himself a new son."

"So what are you going to do?" Tyler asked after a while.

"I don't know," Kurt shrugged again. "I do love Blaine. And I do want to believe that he means it when he says he loves me, but I don't know if I can do that right now."

"Are you going to break up with him?"

"No, or, I don't know," Kurt sighed. "I'm still trying to figure things out right now."

"But you do want to be with him." It was a statement, not a question.

"I do," Kurt looked up at the other boy. "I'm just so confused right now."

"I'll leave you to figure things out then," Tyler stood up and made his way to the door. "Don't let it bother you too much, though."

-.-.-.-

"Why haven't you checked Kurt yet?" Blaine looked up from his book at Wes.

"He's here already?"

"I saw his car in the parking lot," Wes answered. Blaine sat up and frowned.

"He hasn't said anything," He stood up from his bed. "I'll go check on him now then."

Blaine bid goodbye to Wes and made his way to Kurt's dorm. It was really weird. Kurt had stopped replying to his messages and didn't answer his phone calls all weekend. Blaine had just assumed that he was busy spending time with his new family so he didn't think much about him. But, the fact that Kurt had come back and still hadn't text him was starting to worry him. That wasn't like Kurt.

He was just down the hall from Kurt's room when he saw a door open and someone walk out. Blaine's eyes widened when he saw Tyler exiting a room he was pretty sure was Kurt's. Tyler didn't seem to notice Blaine and just kept walking. Blaine waited until he was out of sight before he went up to Kurt's room. He knocked on the door and waited impatiently for it to open. He couldn't' help but smile when he saw Kurt open the door.

"Hey, you," Blaine stepped closer to Kurt and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "I haven't heard from you all weekend."

"I'm sorry," Kurt walked into the room and Blaine followed him. "My phone died and I didn't have my charger on me."

"Its fine," Blaine smiled and sat beside Kurt on the bed. He wrapped his arm around the other boy's slender waist and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "So how was your weekend?"

"It was alright," Kurt shrugged. Blaine frowned; something didn't seem right with Kurt.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Kurt smiled at him, but there was something that seemed wrong with it.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay," Blaine smiled at him. "I saw Tyler coming out of your room while I was walking over."

"Oh, yeah, he came to talk to me." Kurt casually inspected his fingernails.

"About what?" Blaine hadn't talked to Tyler after their last confrontation. He wasn't too sure if Tyler believed him or not and had no idea what he would tell Kurt.

"He wanted to apologize about the whole bet thing he told me about before," Kurt turned to Blaine with a raised eyebrow. "He said he was sorry for saying you don't love me because you obviously do."

"Of course I do," Blaine grinned at Kurt and the smaller boy smiled back. Blaine's smile lessened in degree. Something wasn't right here. He wasn't sure what was off, though.

"I still don't know where he came up with that stupid bet idea, though." Kurt said nonchalantly.

"He probably just made it up," Blaine looked over Kurt's shoulder so he didn't have to look at the smaller boy when he lied. He made a mental note to thank Tyler for not ratting him out. The guy was nicer than he thought.

"I know," Kurt shrugged and pulled away from Blaine a little. "But he could have easily said something else, you know? He could have said you were cheating on me or something like that. But a bet? Where did that idea come from?"

Blaine felt his heart skip a beat, and not in a good way. Was there a chance that Kurt knew? Kurt was looking at him with an expression that Blaine couldn't read. He looked curious, but there was something else there that Blain couldn't place. He kept his face straight and his voice even when he answered.

"I don't know, maybe he saw it on TV or something?"

"Maybe," Kurt nodded with a wry smile and sent up red flags in Blaine's mind.

-.-.-.-

Sorry for ending it here, guys. I just didn't want to keep you guys waiting too long. I'm actually about ready to crash right now. I drank so much coffee earlier to stay awake during class and get my projects done. Midterms are next week so I've got a lot to do. I want to keep my GPA up. Lol.

I wrote a quick one-shot last night! It was my first time at a 5+1 story, but I came across the prompt in the glee fluff meme and wanted to try it out. It's called Take As Long As You Needif any of you are interested. It's a Kurt/New Directions type thing. And in it I put my love for Kurttany and Purt friendships. XD

DUUUDE, this episode of glee…I have a few things I want to say, but I'll save it for tomorrow because I'm falling asleep as I type. And yes, that means I'll be updating again tomorrow, and with a longer chapter. I've been neglecting this story a little—or, neglecting it compared to how I used to update it daily when I first started it. So, I'm going to devote some time to write tomorrow. That, and any more reading for class and I'll probably burn out.

Anyway, throw some suggestions my way, will you? I'm not all too sure how I want to approach this Kurt knowing about Blaine thing fully.
