Kurt made his way down the grand marble staircase and into the living room. As he passed through the doorway of the lounge he spotted Marie lying on the floor like a starfish. She had one arm covering her eyes and the other absentmindedly tickling Mulan's ears. Her sketch pad and numerous pencils scattered the floor around her.
"You alright there Marie?" Kurt asked her chuckling.
Marie jumped at the sound of the boys voice. She lifted her arm away from her eyes and seeing who had startled her she flopped her arm back down to the floor next to her. "Oh Kurt! Where did you come from? You startled me!"
"Sorry. What are you doing on the floor anyway?" Kurt asked as he walked over to the curly haired girl and tabby cat and sat down cross legged next to them. He smiled when Mulan got up and walked over to him nudging his hand with her head obviously wanting his attention. He happily obliged and petted the cat while he waited for Marie reply.
"I don't even know!" Marie giggled as she threw her arms up in the air dramatically. She sighed and sat up so she could look at Kurt. "Where's B?" She asked with a little smirk on her face.
"Getting dressed…" Kurt replied uneasily. "What's with that smirk?"
"Nothing." She replied angelically.
"Maarieee?" Kurt drawled wanting an answer.
"I may have… accidentally… popped my head in on you two snuggled up together this morning." She said grinning at the boy sitting across the carpet from her.
Kurt's eyes went wide and his face blushed a deep red as he ducked his head trying to bury his face his Mulan's fur.
Marie laughed. "There's no need to do an impression of a tomato Kurtsie. I think you and B are adorable together!" She said smiling brightly at him.
"Really?" Kurt asked in disbelief as he raised his head to look Marie in the eyes to see if she meant what she said. He didn't find any hint of her lying. "But you only met me less than 24 hours ago and your willing to just hand me over to your best friend?"
She smiled warmly at him, placing her hand over his and squeezing reassuringly. Kurt relaxed immediately at the look in her eyes and the touch of her hand. But she still spoke to reassure him anyway. "Kurt, when Blaine first told me about you I knew straight away that he liked you, a lot. His eyes lit up, like I'd never seen before, every time he said your name. He had this dopey smile on his face the whole time he was describing you to me. Then when I spoke to you over the phone that night, it was clear to me that you were just as fond of him." Her smile got a little larger when she said that causing Kurt to blush. "And then when I finally saw you both in each others company yesterday and literally as soon as you stepped through that door I knew you were perfect for B. You bring out the best in each other. You make him happy, Kurt. I don't know what is going on between you two relationship wise but I just want you to know I'm supporting you both no matter what and I'm here if you need me. Okay?" She said smiling as she looked into Kurt's eyes and gently squeezed his hands between her own.
"Thank you." Kurt choked out as tears began to brim in his eyes.
"Come here sweetheart." Marie said softly as she motioned for Kurt to come in for a hug.
Kurt leaded forward and hooked his chin over Marie's shoulder as he gladly excepted her hug. "You really think I'm good for him?" He asked his voice watery from trying to keep in the sudden wave of emotion.
"The best. And don't you let anyone tell you other wise!"
"Okay I won't."
"Glad to heard it K."
Kurt smiled at the use of just his initial and let the happy, relieved tears fall silently down his cheeks as he clung tighter to Marie. This girl who had only just met him, but she was so willing to love, accept and care for him just the way she did for Blaine. And she supported him and Blaine without pressing him for details. She was exactly the type of friend Kurt needed right now.
They stayed in the embrace for what felt like hours Kurt's tears had stopped falling just leaving wet trails over his cheeks and his eyes slightly pink. They were pulled away from each other by the sound of Blaine's voice.
"Heeey, where's my hug?" He whined as he entered the room smiling at the two sitting in the middle of the carpet.
Kurt pulled away from Marie and turned to face Blaine as he wiped to dry his cheeks with his hand.
Blaine's smile came crashing to the floor when he saw Kurt's red eyes and tear stained face. He rushed towards the chestnut haired boy franticly trying to work out what could be wrong. "Kurt? What's the matter? Are you hurt? Did I do something wrong? Should I call your dad?"
Kurt giggled at the stream of babble coming from Blaine's mouth. "I'm fine Blaine, honestly." He reassured as he cupped the boy's worried face in his hand.
"Then why were you crying?" Blaine asked his voice still full of concern.
"I'm just so relieved that we have a friend like Marie, I got a little emotional that's all. I'm not upset, I'm happy." Kurt said smiling at Blaine.
Blaine smiled and ducked his head. "I feel silly now."
"I think it's adorable." Kurt whispered as he lifted Blaine's chin to look him in the eye.
Blaine blushed causing Kurt to chuckle and lean in and press a kiss to the blushing boys lips.
Blaine deepened the kiss, running his tongue along Kurt's bottom lip. Kurt opened his mouth, allowing Blaine's tongue to slid alongside his own. Blaine let out a deep moan from the back of his throat, at the sensation, causing Kurt to smile into the kiss. After a while they broke apart for air, letting their foreheads rest against one another.
"Wow!" Blaine whispered when their breathing had returned to normal.
Kurt smiled and brushed his nose against Blaine's.
"Kurt… there's something I've been meaning to ask you…" Blaine said hesitantly.
"What is it sweetie?" Kurt asked, smiling, as he pulled back just a fraction so he could look into Blaine's honey hazel eyes and watch the flecks of green dance around his pupils.
"Um… I was… I was wondering if um… if maybe you would want to… go to dinner with me on Tuesday?" He asked nervously.
"Like on a date?" Kurt asked smiling.
"Yeah." Blaine breathed nodding.
"I'd love too." Kurt whispered smiling at the adorable boy in front of him.
"Really?" Blaine said his eyes lighting up.
"Yes! Come here you big softy!" He chuckled, as he flung his arms around Blaine's neck knocking the boy backwards so they were both just a pile of giggles on the floor.
