The plan to leave Kurt and Sam be and to let them figure out their feelings on their own was going better than expected. Ever since Sam had come out to Kurt they had been much, much closer to each other and this time it wasn't by force. They willingly sat with each other everywhere now, worked together on projects for glee together willingly and were always seen together. Finn and Puck were happy to note that they also spent a great amount of time together at home too but everyone made sure not to question them about their relationship as to not ruin the progress they were making.

For Kurt he knew he liked Sam and it was better that he knew he was bisexual but he still wasn't sure about the possibilty of them having a romantic relationship. If Sam had been attracted to men the whole time then why hadn't he told him anything before. Now it wasn't like Kurt wanted to force him out of the closet or anything, that wouldn't have been fair but he couldn't help but feel hurt that Sam hadn't told him before. And he couldn't help but think that Sam hadn't said anything earlier because he didn't want to go out with him. So he wasn't going to do anything to ruin what they did have with each other until he was 100% sure about Sam's intentions and feelings for him.

For Sam he knew he liked Kurt and it was better that he knew Kurt liked him (even though he didn't know if it was like or like-like) but he still wasn't sure about the possibility of them having a romantic relationship. If Kurt really did like- like him then why hadn't he said anything before? He knew he hadn't been necessarily out of the closet until a couple of weeks ago but he wasn't exactly the definition of a straight man. He thought he made it pretty clear that he had a crush on Kurt from the way he looked at him and the way he acted around him. So Kurt probably didn't feel the same way and he didn't want to ruin what they did have with each other until he was 100% sure about Kurt's intentions and feelings for him.

That didn't stop them from trying though. They were practically inseparable, going everywhere with each other. They ate lunch together, studied together, walked in the hallways together, went to the classes they shared together, went to glee club together, they even waited for each other to finish their practices so they could ride home together. And while they were together they joked around, talking about their days and doing fun things together. They wouldn't call their joking flirting per say (even if it was on the borderline of that category) but they definitely had fun together.

They still longed for the other to take the next step, to make the first move but it never came. There were times when there was so much tension between them, like there was something to be said that neither one of them dared to say. And they both knew what it was but they just couldn't bring themselves to do it, to admit their feelings. They didn't want to get hurt by the other one and they didn't want to make things awkward so they accepted the tension. But except for that little (big) problem, they had a good thing going on.

That's when things took a HUGE step in the RIGHT direction for the both of them.

Glee rehearsal was held in the auditorium that day because they were going to map out the choreography for their set list for Regionals. Everyone gathered around on the stage once they arrived, waiting for the directions from Mr. Schue.

"Okay everyone, you know what time it is," Mr. Schue exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "Choreography day,"

Some people like Finn and Puck groaned in dread while others like Kurt and Sam cheered in excitement.

"I know, I know but if we want to win we have to be the best at not only singing but also dancing," Mr. Schue laughed. "So I want you to pair up and spread out so we can get started,"

Everyone started pairing up as they were told to, Brittany with Santana, Mike with Tina, Mercedes with Arite, Rachel with Finn, Quinn with Puck and…. Kurt with Sam. No one said anything out loud about it when they saw the two smile and blush at each other, agreeing to work together but they exchanged looks, raising their eyebrows and smirking. Bingo!

They all spread out in their groups of two and watched as their teacher demonstrated the moves they were to copy. Some copied better than others but they all managed well enough to move on to harder, show stopping moves.

"Now everyone pay close attention to this sequence," Mr. Schue explained. "You have to master the footwork with this one and you have to work with your partner or else you're going to lose balance and control,"

He demonstrated an advanced set of moves, moving forward and backward with his imaginary partner, then spinning them and tilting them back, adding notes to his students about what the other should be doing.

"Now ladies are probably going to want to go back and when you do you bend back and lift your leg in the air. Make sure it's straight and that your foot is pointed, you want it to look controlled and graceful,"

"Mercedes you and Artie won't be doing this due to the height difference, instead I'll have a duet in this part for you two," He said, excusing the both of them,

"Now the stronger of you will lift the other up but this doesn't excuse the one who's down, you will have to tighten your core muscles to help your partner, you have to work together,"

He finished demonstrating the moves before letting everyone try on their own, coming over to each pair and giving them pointers.

"Okay," Sam said, getting himself mentally prepared to try the sequence. "You ready?"

"I think so," Kurt answered him, going over the moves in his head. "It can't be that hard, right?"

"Right I mean I've tilted you back before,"

"Yeah but we have to hold the position, before it was just a quick back and up thing," Kurt explained. "But I'm getting nervous now so let's just do it,"

"Right," Sam said. "But don't be nervous, you're great at this dancing stuff, you should be nervous about having me as a partner,"

"Don't be silly Sam," Kurt assured him. "I'm happy to be your partner, you're pretty good,"

"Only because of you,"

"You're too modest. Let's do this,"

They stood in front of each other, their hands on each other and then they started moving.

"He went back, back," Kurt noted, leading Sam into the movements.

"And then it was that little step thing he did," Sam said.

"A ball change," Kurt told him. "And then forward,"

"And then that turn," Sam said, twirling Kurt around him while moving with him.

"And now this tilt,"

"Let's just go slowly,"

"Right,"

So Sam slowly tilted Kurt back while Kurt bent his back and lifted his leg up into a straight line. They held the position, letting each other get used to the feeling when they met eyes. They stared into each other's eyes and suddenly forgot everything they were doing. They were probably drawing the attention of everyone to them but they didn't have the choice not to care, they were frozen like that.

"Amazing," Mr. Schue exclaimed, obviously not noticing the returning tension in the room. "Perfect,"

"Umm Sam?" Kurt finally managed to whisper.

"Yeah?"

"Are you stuck?"

"What?"

"Can you like- let me up?"

"What? Oh yeah sorry,"

And Sam tried to lift Kurt up but he still wasn't completely out of his haze and neither was Kurt so instead of coming up from their pose, they both fell down onto the floor, Sam on top of Kurt. It took a few minutes for everyone to realize what happened but once Kurt and Sam did, Sam quickly pushed himself up so that he was above Kurt, no longer on top of him. They made eye contact again and held it again, giving each other looks of confusion and love while everyone else watched their interaction like it was a suspense movie.

"I'm sorry," Sam told Kurt, not breaking eye contact.

"Nope, it was totally my fault," Kurt told him.

"I tripped,"

"It's okay,"

And then they felt each other starting to move towards the other, Kurt up and Sam down as everyone realized what was about to happen. They watched intently as they moved closer and closer until Sam tightened his grip around Kurt before pushing back onto his knees and helping him up.

They stood there awkwardly, everyone's eyes still on them from their almost kiss, even Mr. Schue seemed intrigued by the two and their fall. But Kurt and Sam pretended like nothing happened between them, ignoring the sparks and their nerves and deciding to try the moves again.

"Let's do that again," Kurt suggested. "And don't drop me this time,"

"Well don't stare at me like that then," Sam joked.

"Like what?" Kurt asked, smiling.

"You know, with your eyes and your smile, it makes me nervous,"

"I make you nervous?" Kurt asked, surprised. "You make me nervous,"

"How?"

"I don't know, you just do," Kurt shrugged.

"Well you don't have to be nervous around me, I'm the one who's always making a fool out of myself around you,"

"No you don't, it's cute," Kurt assured him. "And if I don't have to be nervous around you then you don't have to be nervous around me,"

"That'll be hard to do," Sam laughed. "We can just be nervous together,"

"That sounds easier," Kurt laughed along with him. "Are you ready to try again?'

"Yep," Sam nodded, getting into position. "And I promise not to drop you,"

"And I promise not to look at you that way,"

"You can if you want," Sam told him. "I mean now that I know you're nervous too, you look cute,"

"You flatter me Sam," Kurt smiled at him.

"I'm glad," Sam smiled back. "But let's do this,"

And they did do it again. And Kurt looked at Sam some more in the way that made him nervous. And Sam fell on top of Kurt some more. And they laughed and joked (nearly flirted) some more. And every time they laughed or fell they fell more in love.

Why couldn't someone just make the move already?

Notes:

This is definitely my favorite chapter. I'm a dancer and I love the headcanon I have that Kurt can dance even though I know Chris Colfer isn't much of a dancer. I guess Sam's body rolls are cute too but I didn't put that in here. 💃💃💖💖

Anyway we got some flirting in there so more improvement. This is the last "awkward situation" so next chapter is where they admit it and let me just say that I can not wait, I might even post it tonight if I get it done! 😳😳

So that's really it so please leave any comments, feedback or questions for me in the comment section and have a great day/night! 😁😁

Peace ✌️✌️
