This chapter was not planned but was inspired by a review by Violethillbeautiful so I'm not sure how well I pulled it off.

Chapter 5 – Scarves and Slushies
Kurt got up Monday morning and looked in the mirror to find that the hickey had faded a little but was still very noticeable. He was surprised to find that he kind of like it, he was proud to have a love mark from his boyfriend, but not so proud that he wanted to chance his family seeing it. Luckily Burt hadn't questioned Kurt's decision to wear a scarf with his coveralls while helping him with some work in the garage on Sunday afternoon; apparently his father had thankfully given up on questioning his fashion decisions. He chose a lightweight scarf to tie around his neck this morning as he dressed for school. He hoped since it was lightweight no one would think it was odd when he didn't take it off in class.
He made it through the day without any complications. But as he was walking down the hall towards the choir room for Glee rehearsal he felt a sensation he knew well, that of a cold slushie hitting his face. Grape he thought licking his lips.
"OMG Kurt" he heard Finn exclaim coming up behind him with Puck in tow. "At least that crazy scarf caught most of it instead of your shirt" Finn said. Come to the bathroom and we'll help you clean off.
"Ummm, thanks, but its fine really. I've had tons of practice doing it myself."
"Dude, just let us help you." Puck said giving him a light push in the direction of the nearest men's room.
"Just help me get it out of my hair and I can take it from there." Kurt said as they entered the bathroom.
"Kurt your scarf is soaked in purple nastiness, you have to rinse it out. Puck can do that while I help with your hair." Finn said.
"It's fine really. I can deal with it." Kurt protested. If Finn saw the mark on his neck he might tell Burt and Puck would never let him live it down.
"What's the problem dude, you got something to hide under there?" Puck asked jokingly.
Kurt sighed realizing this was now unavoidable. He reached up and slowly untied the scarf handing it to Puck.
"What happened to your neck?" Finn asked.
"That's a hickey." Puck explained. "A nice one too, high five man, I didn't think you had it in you." He said raising his hand, Kurt ignored him.
"What?" Finn began. "No way, that means, that you, with Blaine, last night, ewww. We were all home man. Burt is going to kill you, or at least Blaine."
"No he's not. Because he's not going to find out Finn" Kurt replied looking at him seriously. "If you say anything to my dad your xbox is going to experience an unfortunate accident."
"Ok" Finn said raising his hand defensively. "Just…I don't want to see or hear anything I shouldn't ok. And you better be careful because if Burt catches him giving you one of those there's gonna be trouble. Are you sure it's ok, do I need to have a talk with Blaine about the way he's treating my brother?" Finn said concerned and protective of his brother.
"OMG Finn, no one is having a "talk" with Blaine ok. It's fine. Why does everyone seem to think I can't say no. I kinda like it…and I definitely liked getting it." Kurt finished smiling mischievously and seeing Finn's eyes go wide.
"That a boy" Puck said enthusiastically. "Now let's get this done before we're late for Glee.
Puck and Finn helped him rinse the purple goo out of his hair and his scarf. While Kurt fixed his hair with a bottle of gel he always kept in his backpack for emergencies Puck dried the scarf under the hand air dryer. While it still had a purple tinge to it at least it was dry and no longer sticky. He wrapped it back around his neck before they all headed for Glee rehearsal.
When they got there the rest of New Directions were already assembled and Mr. Shuester was about to start class. "Thank you for joining us guys." Mr. Shue said.
"Sorry Mr. Shue. Kurt here got a slushie facial and we had to help him clean up his hair and that scarf so he can continue to hide the huge hickey on his neck" Puck said glancing mischievously at Kurt who gave him his best bitch glare in return.
"What? Did you just say that Kurt has a hickey." Lauren said. "There no way Kurt is so innocent, like a bunny rabbit or a stuffed animal."
"Plus he's never let someone mar his perfect skin" Tina added.
"And Blaine is way too dapper to do something like that" Mercedes said.
There were sounds of agreement from the club after each statement. Kurt got angrier after each statement. He marched to the front of the room before launching into a tirade. "I am not some sort of innocent little bunny rabbit. I'll have you know that Blaine and I can be just as…just as…sexual as any of the rest of you." He paused there to unwrap the scarf from around his neck. "And I'll have you know that yes he gave me a hickey last night." Kurt said pointing to the mark on his neck. "You see this; this means that someone loves me, and finds me, yes me attractive. It means that we were fooling around last night and I enjoyed it thank you very much." The room was silent until Brittany spoke.
"Is Blaine a better kisser than me?" Brittany asked. "You never let me give you a hickey."
"It's just different Brittany. Don't you enjoy kissing Santana more than kissing me?"
"Yes, but sometimes I make out with Lord Tubbington also."
"Ok" Kurt said not really knowing how to respond as he took a seat next to Mercedes so Mr. Shue could start rehearsal. The room had lapsed into an awkward silence after Kurt's declaration and Brittany's questioning. As Mr. Shue started talking about their new assignment Kurt discreetly got his phone out of his pocket to text Blaine.
OMG you will not believe the day I had – K
Good or Bad? – B
Good I think. – K
I got slushied so I had to take my scarf off and Finn and Noah saw the bruise on my neck – K
Was Finn mad? Is he going to tell your Dad? – B
Well he did threaten to have a talk with you. But he won't tell my Dad, I threatened his gaming equipment. – K
Ok, Good –B
Then Noah told everyone in Glee about the hickey – K
Lol. How did that go? – B
Well I had to straighten them out a little but I think they're all ok with it. Why does everyone think I'm some innocent little creature that needs constant protection from all things sexual. – K
Maybe because you blush such a bright shade of red every time it's mentioned and you don't like to talk about it. – B
Well apparently that's changing as I announced to the whole club that you gave me that hickey last night and that I enjoyed getting it. – K
So you enjoyed it? –B
Of course I did ;). And honestly I kind of like having a mark of your affection, but maybe we can keep them below the neckline of my shirt next time so I don't have to wear a scarf all the time – K
So there is going to be more hickey giving? – B
I certainly hope so – K
I miss you.–B
I miss you too. I should probably try to pay attention to rehearsal. I'll see you for coffee in a bit? –K
Definatley – B
Kurt tried to focus on what Mr. Shue was saying instead of the events of the previous evening or his upcoming date with Blaine. But it was a losing battle and he was soon zoned out wondering if he and Blaine could sneak away somewhere for a quick make-out session after their coffee date…
