Mercedes knew from the moment she saw Kurt that something had changed. She didn't know what it was, but she sure as hell was going to find out.
As she sat next to him in their first class, he was quite and subdued, like he was lost in his thoughts. While this would have been concerning, he held a broad smile across his face the entire time.
When class was over, Mercedes followed him to his locker. "So what has you so smiley today?"
Kurt look up from his locker, as if just noticing that he wasn't alone. "Nothing. I just feel really good today." He continued to smile, his eyes getting that same glazed over look they had held during class.
Mercedes was both confused, and strangely happy. What had changed over the past twenty four hours?
It was then that she noticed Kurt's eyes flicker to the right, as if he was looking behind her. When Kurt turned back to his locker to grab something, Mercedes chances a look behind her, only to find a pair of Amber eyes staring back.
She smiled to Blaine before turning back to her best friend. Her smile stayed in place.
"I'm very happy that you're having such a good day." She said, speaking the truth. She was overjoyed, and it was obvious on her face. Even if the boys weren't dating, they were becoming friends, and that was all she ever wanted for him.
Kurt grinned back again as he closed his locker. Together, they walked off towards their next class.
Lunch came quickly, and Blaine was very happy about that. While he didn't mind his classes, he wanted to spend time with Kurt, and maybe even become friends with the other people in the Glee club.
He quickly grabbed lunch, and then entered the cafeteria. When he got there, he became a little hesitant about walking to the table and joining the others.
This thought was completely erased from his mind when he saw Kurt sitting at the table. At that exact moment, the boy looked up and caught Blaine's eyes.
With some sort of boost of confidence, Blaine walked across the cafeteria towards the group. When he sat down beside Kurt, he was greeted by many others.
"I would like to personally welcome you into the Glee club Blaine." Rachel said once the cheerful hello's died down. "I don't believe we've officially met. My name is Rachel Berry."
Blaine shook her extended hand from across the table. "Thank you. Blaine Anderson."
Rachel smiled. "I was wondering if maybe you would like to do a duet with me. After hearing you sing yesterday, I realized that our voices would sound amazing together. Perhaps a ballot, or a jazz song..."
"Rachel!" Kurt interrupted, causing many people to sigh in relief. "He only just joined yesterday. Give him some breathing room."
Blaine nodded in agreement. "Thank you for the offer Rachel, but I was thinking I would do my first duet with Kurt instead." He said as he cast a shy glance to the boy sitting next to him.
Around the table, all conversation halted to a stop. Everyone turned their attention to the two boys looking shyly at one another.
Mercedes saw Santana begin to say something, so she cut her off immediately. "Sounds good. And if you want Rachel, I'll sing a song with you."
The atmosphere was still uneasy, but conversation continued as if nothing had happened. Blaine sent a thankful look to the girl sitting beside Kurt. Mercedes winked back before turning to talk to Tina.
The rest of lunch was uneventful, with the exception of Finn spilling his soup all over his back pack. When the bell rang for the end of lunch, everyone headed their own way, leaving Blaine and Kurt behind.
"See you at Glee club Blaine!" Kurt said as he shouldered his bag and began heading for the door. Over his shoulder he said, "we'll talk about a song to sing together later."
Blaine smiled brightly. "Sounds perfect. I'll see you later."
The two headed off in the direction of their next class.
