Kurt stared blankly at the ground as his worn out, hand-me-down sneakers scraped the cracked concrete one after another in a repetitive cycle. It was his free period and he was on his way to the court yard to meet Blaine and Quinn. His dream had shaken his confidence. He'd decided not to tell Blaine anymore than he had, besides, Blaine was straight, he had a freakin girlfriend anyway. However he did decided maybe it was time to clue in his other friend, the lucky bitch who got Blaine, he really didn't blame her, she was after all his best friend since first grade, when she had pushed him off that swing.
He was distracted momentarily by Sam Evans getting bullied in the corner, everyone bullied that kid, Kurt had begun to feel bad, but kept walking none the less. Kurt wrapped his arms around his own small shoulders and continued towards the back picnic table where Quinn sat alone, blonde hair in front of her magazine buried face.
"Kurtsie!" She smiled when she saw him, using her obnoxious nickname.
"Sup Quinn?" Kurt replied, nodding to her.
"Oh, stop trying to act cool." She laughed as he sat down next to her.
"Where's Blaine?" Kurt asked, noticing his absence. Quinn laughed,
"Got sent to the principle to get lectured on his like 70 detentions or something. Won't be back 'til next period." Kurt laughed, swallowed and tried to summon his courage.
"Did he uhh, tell you about our, y'know like, talk...yesterday?" The small teen stuttered, looking up at his friend.
"No, why?"
"Ok, well I think I should tell you, but please, uh, don't tell anyone else, not yet..." He trailed off.
"You gonna tell me you're gay Kurtsie?" She laughed. Kurt paused. Quinn laughed more. "Damn Kurt I figured that one out like two years ago or somthin'." Kurt stared at her, wide eyed.
"Wha-how-" He tried.
"Please kid, we've been friends how long now? I know you." She said and smiled. Kurt got up and hugged her.
"Then would you...would you do me a favor...?" Kurt said, staring at his thumbs.
"Whataya need?" She said, confused.
"Well uh I was wondering if you'd like...y'know, kiss me, uh it's just that I really haven't kissed a girl in a while, so ummm, what if like, I'm, y'know, wrong, and I-" Kurt was cut off by Quinn smiling and shaking her head.
"Sorry Turky, but I'm dating Blaine, what would he think if he walked out and saw us, he'd be mad at both of us then. But I think you should just be happy with who you are, cause you're pretty awesome in my opinion." She said cutely and smiled, ruffling his hair. Kurt nodded and looked at the ground.
"And well, there's, uh, one more thing..." Kurt mumbled, eyes still fixed on a leaf on the ground. Quinn looked down at him, questioningly. "I like...like someone." Kurt said flatly. Quinn giggled,
"Who?" She questioned. Kurt sighed.
"Your fucking boyfriend." Quinn gave Kurt a shocked, then understanding look, but said nothing as Blaine was strolling down the courtyard towards them.
Kurt tried to control his tears as he walked home from school alone that day. Rain was beginning to fall and leaves leaped around him. After Blaine had come over everything had been normal, seemingly at least. Kurt knew that at some point he would have to tell Blaine, even if he didn't feel the same way, it was not one of those 'crushes' that faded.
Blaine walked down the street, arm hooked around Quinn as he thought silently about his best friends announcement. It had gotten Blaine thinking a lot. In some ways he'd rather not be thinking. The realization that he could be attracted to Kurt hit when he saw him sitting underneath that tree, scared out of his mind. The way his face just opened up, beautiful eyes growing and glinting in the moonlight, choppy brown hair staggering his face adorably, his tight tiny form seated comfortably in dark gray skinny jeans and an old replacements t-shirt hanging perfectly beneath his collar bone underneath his well fitted blazer that was uniquely Kurt. Blaine tried to shake these thoughts as he remembered his girlfriend in his grasp. They turned at sat on the bench of a covered bus station as the rain began to pound down on them.
"You should tell him." Quinn said abruptly, looking out at the rain.
"wha-what?" Blaine responded.
"You should tell Kurt how you feel, you've been thinking about him this whole time, right?" She said plainly and shrugged. She didn't seem upset, just bored. Blaine sometimes wondered how she did that all the time, completely knew them, inside out. He figured it was just a girl thing.
"...I will." Blaine said and hugged Quinn. "I love you, but I think we should go back to being best friends." Blaine said hesitantly. Quinn smiled.
"I'd like that Blainey."
