Hey guys! I just wanted to say thanks so much for reading my story! I love feedback so if you can leave a review telling me what you thought/are thinking of the story so far that would be great!
Kurt's phone rang and he stopped his nightly moisturizing routine to see who was calling.
"Hi hun!" Kurt's chipper voice said into the phone.
"Hi Kurt! I saw that you called- Huh? Oh, Sam says 'hi'." Mercedes voice said into the phone.
"Tell Sam I said hi! By the way how are you guys?" Kurt said
"Oh we're doin just peachy. Still stuck in the honeymoon phase, so we'll see how long it is before he does something stupid. Haha" Mercedes giggled half to herself then continued on. "But I would know that tone of voice anywhere. You didn't call me to ask about my marriage. What's goin on?"
"Oh nothing much, just...Blaine." Kurt said sheepishly.
"Ahhh Blaine problems."
"Yeah. I swear he's the only man on this entire earth- no the entire universe that doesn't understand he's being hit on. Today he said he wasn't dating anyone because he doesn't know any other single gay men."
"Are you kidding me? He knows you're single, and you ooze gay. There shouldn't be a problem" Mercedes said.
"I don't know 'Cedes. Maybe he's just not into me?" Kurt mused.
"You are Kurt Hummel any man would be lucky to have you.- What? Haha ok I'll tell him.- Sam said if he was gay he'd try to marry you."
"Ha! Well that's very nice, but Sam isn't gay." Kurt said
"Look honey. Blaine is very talented, and very very nice; but I feel like he's one of those guys that just needs to be told straight up, 'I love you'."
Kurt took a heavy sigh before he continued on. "I've just never really been good with that. I can flirt my ass off, but just telling someone? That's too much. What if he doesn't like me back? What if this ruins the friendship we have? If I can't have him as a boyfriend, I don't want to lose him as a best friend too."
"Sweetheart. Love is all about taking risks. What if I told Sam no? What if I let Sam's financial status in high school affect whether or not I wanted to be with him for the long run I probably wouldn't be happily married right now. Marcus wasn't the right one for me. Sam was, and I had to take that chance myself. I knew that I loved him and that was all that mattered. Rich or poor I wanted to spend my life with him." Mercedes confessed.
"I guess you're right. I'll give some more thought to what I'm gonna do and how I'm gonna do it. I can't let Blaine go," Kurt inhaled sharply. "but right now I have to wash this face mask off. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Ok darlin. Night."
"Night." Kurt said as he hung up the phone.

Blaine finally made it to Kurt's office door and rhythmically knocked on it.
"Come in." A voice said.
"Hi Kurt!" Blaine said.
"Oh hey Blaine. Here let me make some room for you." he said as he cleaned off a chair for Blaine to sit in. "Sorry. I had the kids sight reading tests to grade."
"It's ok. I know the feeling."
"So. What's up?"
"Well. I came here because I wanted to talk to you about something kind of important."
"Ok."
"It's has to do with what we talked about at lunch yesterday."
Kurt's heart was doing flips. Blaine was smiling, and wanted to talk about yesterday. This could mean a future for them. This meant Blaine liked him back. He felt like they were back at McKinley, and it was Kurt and Blaine the two teenagers again. Butterflies were in his stomach. Or was that sushi. It didn't matter. All that matters is that this is the beginning of a beautiful life with Blaine.
"Go on." Kurt said casually.
"Well, Kurt. You're amazing. You. Are. Perfect. Every little thing about you. Especially your singing. You have the voice of an angel. I mean, come on, you've been in three different Broadway shows already. Basically what I'm trying to say, Kurt, is...I need you."
"Oh Blaine! I'm so happy you said that;" Kurt jumped up and gave Blaine a hug. "and I'm glad you feel the same way because honestly, I need you too."
"That's great! What do you need me for? Because I was going to ask if you'll come in tomorrow during the auditions and help me judge!"
"Ohhhh you were?" Kurt said as he pulled out of the hug. "I forgot we talked about your class' auditions yesterday." Kurt said. His heart was crushed but he was determined to not make a bigger fool of himself than he already has.
"So you'll do it? You judge with me?" Blaine asked excitedly.
"Yeah of course."
"Great! Kurt, you don't know how much this means to me." Blaine pulled Kurt back in for another quick hug before pulling away again. "Oh, what was it that you needed me for?"
"Oh, um. I just needed you to help look at my car. It's broken."
"Broken how?"
"Um... I don't know." Kurt said. "I just figured since you know how to work on cars I would ask for your help."
Luckily Kurt didn't have to lie about his car being broken.
"Sure. I can't look at it until after the auditions though. It's gonna be tough trying to make the right decision. I have a lot of talented kids and a Rachel Berry in my class. Haha."
"Oh." Kurt stumbled over his words. "Ha. ha. That's- that's funny."
"Yeah." Blaine said as he headed for the door. "Ok I'll call you when I can come take a look at your car."
"Ok see ya." Kurt said, still somewhat flabbergasted at the whole situation.
Blaine closed the door to the office. Leaving Kurt alone with his thoughts.
