Chapter 47: That Girl

Kurt pulled into the driveway of Sam's house.

"Are you going to give me an answer?" Sam asked.

"Hmmm?" Kurt said, distracted.

"You know, about the promise ring?" Sam said. "Will you accept it? I had planned to give it to you at Christmas, but you seem like you needed a pick me up right now, so I thought maybe this would work."

He pulled the box out of his jeans pocket, and opened it again.

"I stand by everything I promised on the Ferris Wheel." He said. "Do you accept?"

Sam gave Kurt a hopeful look. Kurt looked at the ring, and up to Sam's face.

He licked his lips before speaking.

"Sam, I want to accept. I do. But..."

"But what?" Sam asked, the hope falling at his feet.

"But giving me this ring is a huge step in our relationship." Kurt said, closing the box gently. "I'm not saying 'no', but I'm not saying 'yes' either."

"What are you saying then?" Sam asked, Kurt had confused him.

"It's a 'maybe'." Kurt said, pushing the box and Sam's hand back. "You should get inside. I have to get home soon."

"Okay. But I'm gonna tell you this," Sam said, hooking his finger into the collar of Kurt's shirt and pulling him close. "I'm gonna find a way to get you to accept."

Sam pulled Kurt closer, and pressed his lips to the soft ones attached to Kurt. He licked along the seam of Kurt's lips, asking for entrance. Kurt obliged without much hesitation, and Sam slipped his tongue inside lightly; his tongue dancing with Kurt's. He drew back, holding Kurt's bottom lip between his teeth lightly and tugging before letting go.

"I love you." Sam stepped out of the car.

"I love you, too." Kurt says.

Sam shuts the door of the car.

"Sam, wait! Your jacket!" Kurt said, reaching to tug it off.

"Keep it." Sam said. "It looks good on you, and you wearing it will let everyone know you're my man."

Kurt was silent as he watched Sam start to walk away.

"Hey, Sam? I just want you to know," Kurt called out to Sam. "I DID have fun tonight."

Sam have a half smile as he turned back.

"I did too."


The next day at school, Kurt was thinking about Sam's proposal when Sam came up to him.

"You're wearing my jacket." He said, coming up behind Kurt and wrapping his arms around his midsection.

"You said to keep it, and wear it." Kurt said, leaning back on the muscular torso behind him. "I thought it would go with my outfit as well."

"Mmm, it totally does." Sam said, pressing a kiss to his boyfriend's neck.

"And you forgot this in my car last night." Kurt gestured to the red and black lion he had won for Sam the previous night.

"Mmmm, be sure to remind me to take it home after school." Sam said, before kissing Kurt's neck again.

"Have you changed your mind yet?" He asked, removing his lips from Kurt's skin once more. "About the ring?"

"No. It's still a 'maybe'." Kurt said, pulling out of Sam's embrace and walking past him after closing his locker. Sam followed him down the hall.

"Look, I know it was probably scary to think I was proposing to you for marriage, but that's a long way off for us." Sam said, grabbing Kurt's arm and turning him so they were face to face. "I'm sorry if that scared you, but that's no reason not to accept."

"That's not the reason I didn't accept, Sam." Kurt said. He looked around and pulled Sam into an empty classroom.

"Sam, we love each other, I know we do. But that could change at anytime for you. I mean, I know it won't for me. And we've only been together for two weeks."

"But I've loved you for longer." Sam interjected.

"I know, and it's the same for me." Kurt said. "But marriage is a long way off, like you yourself said. If we ever get to that, I want you to know without a doubt that you love me more than life itself, and that I can trust you with my heart. That's when want you to ask me to marry you."

Kurt went on.

"BUT, until then, anything can change. I don't want to accept the promise ring because I know things can change in an instant. Anything could happen, and I do mean anything. Life throws curve balls at us all the time, testing us. If I were to accept, who knows what would happen? We could fight, argue, and begin to hate and resent each other. I don't want that to happen to us."

Sam listened to Kurt, his head and shoulders slumping forward.

"Hey," Kurt said, bringing his hand to Sam's cheek, and lifting his head. "I still stand by the 'maybe' I gave you. And trust me on this: if you did manage to do something that warranted my belief that nothing I said could actually happen to us, I would gladly accept the ring. But until then, please don't mention this again."

Kurt leaned in and gently kissed Sam.

"I have to get to class." Kurt said, turning and walking out the classroom door. Sam stood still for a moment before following.

"Hey, Kurt!" He called. "Challenge accepted!"

Kurt froze.

"I don't care what you say, I will end up making you say 'yes'. You can count on it!" Sam said, grinning as he watched his boyfriend walk off quickly.


"Listen up, guys!" Mr. Schue called out, getting the attention of his students as they took their seats in the Auditorium. "Before Quinn performs her song, Sam has something he'd like to sing."

"Thanks, Mr. Schue." Sam said, getting up on the stage. Sam looked out at his Glee mates.

"So, I've recently set this song as a ringtone for someone special. And I hope that someone," Sam looks at Kurt, and everyone looks back too. "Gets my meaning with it."

The whole time Sam sang and danced, he only had eyes for Kurt. By the time he finished, he was out of breath, and hoped Kurt would accept his promise ring.

"Awww, he was so cute singing to his Dolphin." Brittany said.

"Sam, I don't know what to say except: wow." Mr. Schue said.

"Thanks, Mr. Schue." Sam said.

"I'm guessing this song was for Kurt?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Yes, he knows what I meant by singing this. Right, Kurt?" Sam said, turning to his boyfriend.

"I do, Sam. And the answer is still 'NO'." Kurt said.

"'No' about what?" Rachel asked, as Sam's face fell.

"Mr. Schue, could I be excused to the washroom?" Kurt asked after a moment.

"Sure, Kurt, but hurry back so Quinn can give her performance." Mr. Schue said, and Kurt made his way up the stairs.

"Hey, wait a minute! Trouty-Mouth, is he wearing your jacket?" Santana said to Sam, as Kurt left the Auditorium.
