a/n: This one has no shouting in it. that's a good thing, right? And on we go to chapter, what are we up to?, four. Almost halfway :P . Big thanks goes to mrs. graciecriss4eva and the reviewers. because reviews and fun and happy and nice and something that I should learn to do more. because I suck at reviews. probably because I love most of what I read so I may have sort of come to expect that... and I never cry. So I feel bad reveiwing if I didn't cry and other people did. and I doubt anyone is still reading this. I natter on far too much.

disclaimer: If I were to own Glee we'd be up to season 7 already because I would have had the hindsight to start it when they were in primary school (elementary school) so that we could all watch little Klaine grow up. And then finally meet. because we'd know they were destined to but it would still be cute. and I'd have to put in the others so that it had, you know, a PLOT. but it would be mainly plot-less Klaine.

So.

Wow, that was a lot to think about. I am glad that you told me because I feel hurt for every day you didn't. It tells me thst you didn't trust me and I don't understand why. But we can't change the past, so I want you to know that, of course, I still want our friendship to continue but I don't think it can go straight back to the openness of before. I trusted you completely and, to find out you didn't feel the same, messes up that trust. But I do want to help you so please tell me what happens. Preferably when it happens.

It's going to take time but I hope that we can go back to the way we were.

Blaine.

Blaine had stared at his eLetter for half an hour after he finished writing it making tiny changes. All he'd really been doing, as he had known at the time, was procrastinating. Avoiding the final moment when the message would be gone and he was no longer in control. Because control, no matter how small, made him feel safer.

But he'd finally sent it. And he was now going to be late to see Kurt. He was worried about what David had told him during this morning's embarrassing incident, but really he just needed to relax. And when he was with Kurt that was so much easier.

Rushing to the coffee shop, he made it just as Kurt was leaving the counter. Smiling at the extra cup in his hand that he knew was for him, he rushed over. Apologising as he sat down he was comforted by Kurt's laughter.

"You're not that late. The way you're acting you could have missed your own wedding or something."

Neither of them noticed the others slight blush as the both laughed. Simply enjoying each other's company. They discussed anything and everything, both important and trivial. But Blaine never mentioned Dave. He almost forgot about him, or at least, he pushed him to the edge of his thoughts. And Kurt seemed so happy, he didn't want to bring up topics that would erase that smile or mute that laugh, especially not selfish ones. Because they did talk about Kurt's problems. About school. And Kurt asked what David had called about. But he'd brushed it off and ignored the slight look of hurt that had flashed across Kurt's face when he did. It would, Blaine decided, be selfish to discuss his own issues; Kurt didn't need more burdens.

Courage

It was the fifth of such texts Blaine had sent over the last two days since Kurt had told him of his situation at school. He didn't really know why he sent them, but whenever he wished Kurt was here, even just to brighten the atmosphere and make things less dull, he'd tried hundreds of phrasings and none had worked. So he'd just send him courage and hoped that wherever he was and whatever was happening he'd feel better. Because worked for him. And he wanted Kurt to remember that someone cared about him.

Smiling to himself he went back to the homework he'd decided to focus on this lunch period. Soon after he glanced at his phone, tired of the boring workload, to find a new message from Dave. He looked at it in confusion before typing a quick reply and packing up. He wasn't going to be able to focus until Dave's next massage cleared this up for him.

I kissed him.

a/n: So. Guess what happens next :P
