Chapter 2: The Word is Out

Kurt had wanted to keep their arrangement quiet until after regional's which were only a few days away. It was hard since they both were frequently caught daydreaming by the other Warblers and could hardly wait to steal a moment alone. Luckily they were able to pass it off as stress over the upcoming competition. Finally regionals were over and their duet had gone well. They were sad that they lost but excited to finally take their relationship public.

Blaine

Blaine practically ran down the hall and banged on David and Wes' door. He was bouncing up and down with excitement when he heard the music shut off and Wes opened the door.

"Hey Blaine, whoa are you high or something?"

"No. Why?"

"Well you've got this really dopey grin on your face."

"I'm just really happy. I actually came to share some good news with you guys."

"Come in and share away. David press pause on that game. Warbler Blaine has some news to share and from the look on his face it's good. You better hurry or he may spontaneously combust."

David pressed paused and turned to give Blaine his undivided attention.

"I have a new boyfriend." Blaine blurted out.

"Who?" David asked looking worriedly at Wes.

"Guess!" Blaine replied.

"Well if it's anyone other than Kurt then you're an idiot." David said.

"What?" Blaine asked his enthusiasm slipping a bit. "It is Kurt, how did you guess so easily?"

"Well it's been clear for some time that you two were in love with each other. If you didn't do something soon we we're going to have to take matters into our own hands. If it was anyone but Kurt we may have had to have you head checked. It's obvious Kurt worships the ground you walk on and that you're pretty smitten yourself." Wes replied.

"Oh, God. Am I the only one who didn't know how I really felt about Kurt? How did you know?" Blaine asked.

Wes and David looked at each other before saying in voices made to imitate those of tween girl and clasping their hands dramatically to their chests as they spoke.

"Kurt did the most amazing thing today."

"Did you see the shirt Kurt was wearing today?"

"Kurt and I did this."

"Kurt and I did that."

"Kurt isn't feeling well I better stay and take care of him."

"Who's that guy talking to Kurt" David said crossing his arms and putting a grumpy look on his face.

"Are you seeing a pattern?" Wes asked.

"We're happy for you man now sit down and play Call of Duty with me. I need more of a challenge than Wesley over there."

"Hey!" Wes yelled. "Where is Kurt anyway?"

"He went home for the weekend to tell his family. He's going to text me as soon as he's done."

Kurt

Kurt practically bounced through the door when he arrived home that night.

"I'm home" he called out dropping his bag by the door.

"I'm in here honey" he heard Carole call from the kitchen.

"Where's everyone else?" he asked walking into the doorway leading to the kitchen.

"They'll be here soon. Are you ok, you seem anxious?" Carole said sounding concerned.

"I'm fine. I have some news actually."

"Well why don't you take your things upstairs and clean up for dinner. You dad and Finn should be home any minute now and we'll eat."

"Yea, ok." He dragged his suitcase upstairs and unpacked his clothes so they wouldn't wrinkle and moved his large bag of products into the bathroom. He had just finished when he heard 2 male voices downstairs and Carole called up to him to come down for dinner. Courage he reminded himself before taking a deep breath and heading downstairs.

Kurt grabbed a plate and sat down with the rest of the family shifting nervously.

"Kurt has some news he wants to share with us." Carole offered as an opening noticing how nervous he was.

"Ummm, yea, so I'm sort of dating someone." Kurt said quieting talking to his plate.

"That's great sweetheart. Do we know him" she asked sweetly. Kurt looked up and saw that Burt had frozen with his fork halfway raised.

"Ummm, it's…it's Blaine." Kurt managed to squeak out.

"What?" Burt asked dropping his fork with a clatter. "The same Blaine that insisted I give you 'the talk'. Did he pressure you into this Kurt? Are you scared is that why you're so nervous to tell us"

"Burt just calm down and let him explain." Carole said placing a calming hand on his arm. "Why don't you tell us about it Kurt."

"Well as you know we've been friends for a long time and I've had a crush on him and he finally realized that he has a crush on me too. He's amazing and no Dad he's no forcing me into anything but thanks for that vote of confidence." He said angrily.

"Look Kurt, I'm sorry. This is all new for me and you tell me your just friends and then he tells me I need to educate you about sex and now suddenly you're dating, you can see where I may have gotten the wrong idea. It's a lot to take in ok. If you're happy I'm happy. Are you happy Kurt?"

"Ecstatic!" Kurt squeals.

"Well ok then. But I want to meet this guy properly. You invite him to join us for dinner tomorrow."

"Well I don't know Dad, he may have plans or…"Kurt cut off as he noticed the stern look on his father's face. "I'll text him right now."
