Kurt stood outside of the school, waiting for Blaine to come out. He saw the curly hair and pushed his way through some seniors, to get to him.
„Blaine, wait up!" he yelled, and watched as Blaine stopped up and turned around. „Really, I don't get why there's so many people at the school right now, doesn't people usually go home now?" Kurt asked as he reached Blaine.
„No, not everyone." Blaine said and started walking besides Kurt. When he didn't say more, Kurt looked concerned at him and asked: „Is something wrong?" Blaine made a crinkled smile and shook his head slowly.
„No. Nothing's wrong." Blaine said. There were silent in a few moments, before Kurt spoke again.
„You're just so quiet." Blaine shrugged.
„I don't know what to say." He answered and stopped as they reached the bus stop. Kurt felt his mouth getting dry as he realised he had to say goodbye. His car was back at the school, so he couldn't even take the bus with Blaine if he wanted to.
„Do you want a ride home?" Kurt asked smiling.
„No it's fine, thank you." Blaine said and took Kurt's hands. „I'll just talk to you tomorrow." He said and kissed Kurt's cheek.
„Yeah, see you." Kurt said. He looked at Blaine for a moment, before letting go of his hands. „I can't hang out after school, though." Not that you asked. He thought and continued; „I'm going to try and recruit new people for Glee Club with Sebastian." Blaine's reaction somehow satisfied him.
Blaine felt his heart sink. He was about to say something, but his throat felt like sandpaper, and he only managed to get a half-choked croaking out. He took a deep breath, but tried to be subtle so Kurt hopefully wouldn't notice his reaction. It didn't seem like it worked though, he could almost see that Kurt had hoped for this reaction. Why? Blaine thought and was relieved as he could feel that his throat was getting back to normal.
„Okay. I hope you have fun." Blaine said and tried to sound indifferent. Kurt turned around and was about to walk away, when Blaine grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.
Kurt felt Blaine's hand on his shoulder, and quickly turned around.
„I think I know what I want to be… You know, the us-thing." Blaine said, and Kurt made the surprised expression that only he could do.
„Do tell." He said.
„I want to be your boyfriend." Blaine said and Kurt could see that he was very nervous. „What do you think?" He asked. Kurt smiled really big and made a small jump.
„You have no idea how happy this made me." Kurt said and laughed. Blaine smiled at his boyfriend, and turned around as he heard the bus coming.
„Bus is here." Blaine said. „Talk to you later." Kurt nodded and waited for Blaine to go inside the bus before leaving.
Blaine was sitting in the bus and thought about what had just happened. He knew he wanted to be Kurt's boyfriend the moment he had said he was going to be with Sebastian. That feeling, he had felt. He knew he didn't want to lose Kurt, it didn't matter to who or when, but he wanted him to himself. He still felt that pressing feeling against his chest, when thinking of Kurt and Sebastian together, which also was the result in his repelling behaviour earlier. He's mine now. Blaine thought and smiled, as the bus drove over a small bump. Only mine.
Kurt stood by his locker, waiting for Santana to join him as he saw Sebastian walking over to him.
„Hey Kurt." He said in a superior voice. „I was just wondering when we should meet up later? To find new Glee-members." He looked at him with a big smile and sparkly eyes.
„As soon as possible." Kurt said. „I'm dreading this, Sebastian." He said and started walking, Sebastian following. „What are people not going to think?" Sebastian laughed and looked down in the ground.
„It's gonna be fine. I have a plan." He blinked at Kurt and walked down the hallway and into his class. Kurt looked after him with a wondering look. We barely know each other. Kurt thought while walking down the hallway. He blinked at me. He seems so different, somehow. More outgoing and… Interesting. His thoughts stopped as soon as he saw that familiar brown curly hair. He was about to shout something when he felt a poke on his shoulder. He turned around and faced Santana.
„Santana!" He burst out. „Hi!"
„I thought we were going to meet by your locker." She said and lifted her left eyebrow.
„Sorry, I was talking with Sebastian." Kurt said and quickly turned around just to see that Blaine was gone.
„Well how're things going? We haven't had a normal conversation in forever." While she was talking Kurt's thoughts flied away to other places. What was Sebastian's plan? Blaine's hair… He tried to imagine the way it felt against his skin, but snapped out of it as Santana shouted something to someone passing by. „Watch where you're going, Karofsky!" Kurt almost laughed at her tone. He had somehow missed her denigrating talk, and the way she just said whatever was on her mind. Santana returned to Kurt and continued talking. „… I just mean, how could you even consider joining Glee to start with?" Kurt shrugged and was about to say something, when she continued. „That Sebastian guy is cute though." Sebastian's smiling face popped up in his head.
„Yeah, I guess." Sebastian's face changed to Blaine's and Kurt felt his lips shivering as he tried not to smile. „He looks a bit like a meerkat though." He said and sighed. The belled rung and Kurt smiled at Santana. „I have to go to class. Let's talk soon, yeah?" He then walked away and into Math-class.
The first thing he saw as he entered the room was Quinn and Brittany sitting besides each other, talking about something he couldn't hear. Him and Quinn got eye contact for a few seconds before she looked at Blaine and then back at Kurt. Kurt raised his eyebrows and mouthed the word „what?" Quinn looked around the filled up classroom. Kurt noticed many people who normally weren't here. Most of them skipped math. Like Noah Puckerman. He was sitting besides Finn, and talking about his job really loud. Finn? Kurt thought as he moved to let some students pass. Does he even have math now? He caught Quinn's look and she once again looked at Blaine before returning to her conversation with Brittany.
Kurt looked over at Blaine who was sitting besides Artie as usual. Kurt looked around the room for an empty seat, and felt stressed as he saw one besides Sebastian. There was one besides Rachel too. He casually walked over to Sebastian and put his books at the table. „Can I sit here?" Kurt asked and sat down as Sebastian nodded. „Thanks." They sat in silence until the teacher came in.
„Morning kids." Mrs. Hugberg said in a monotone voice. Kurt heard a few mornings here and there, but they were all lazy and sluggish. Mrs. Hugberg looked around the class, first looking surprised then suspicious.
„Why are you so many today?" Her look ran over the whole class and stopped at Puck. „Noah? Noah Puckerman? I haven't seen you here in years." She joked and looked at Finn afterwards. „Finn? I didn't know you had math now." Finn made a crinkled smile and shrugged.
„I switched with someone. Mr. Figgins said it was okay." He said. The teacher shook her head and turned around to face the blackboard.
„All those names…" Kurt heard Sebastian whisper. Kurt turned his head and laughed subtle.
„What about them?" He asked. Sebastian looked at Kurt like he didn't think he'd heard it.
„Oh. Nothing it's just…" He laughed and sighed. „There's just so many." He looked down in the table, before looking up at Kurt. Such intense look. Kurt thought as he answered.
„I can try to teach you some." Sebastian went his fingers through his hair and smiled.
„I know some." He said superior. „Like I know that, that guy over there…" He looked at Blaine. „Is Blaine Anderson." Of course you do. Kurt thought.
„Who else?" He asked. Sebastian looked at some of the people from Glee club.
„Artie and Rachel." He said. „Rachel should be a really good singer." He said as if he didn't believe it.
„Maybe she is. I haven't heard her yet. I only just joined. Like you." Kurt said and opened his book at the page the teacher said.
„Read these pages. No talking." Mrs. Hugberg said and gave Finn, Puck, Kurt and Sebastian a serious look. Kurt tore out a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote on it.
„The table in front of us: Sam Evans and Mike Chang. Both on the football team, very popular. The table in front of them: Noah Puckerman ("Puck") and Finn Hudson. Both on the football team too, popular. And Finn is my brother. To the left of them: Rachel Berry. You know her. Behind her: Quinn Fabray and Brittany Pierce. Both on the Cheerios, don't mess with them, they basically control the school." He looked down at himself and on his own Cheerios uniform. He didn't feel comfortable in it anymore. He continued writing. „Behind them: Rory Flanagan and Tina Chang. Both in Glee, you know them. To the right of us: David Karofsky and Azimio Adams, both on the football team too, as the others: popular. In front of them: Blaine and Artie, as you know. And then in front of them a really sad spot without a table." He read the note through, handed it over to Sebastian and started reading the pages they were supposed to read.
After a moment he saw a note land on his book. He picked it up and unfolded it. With a really neat handwriting Sebastian had written: „I'm never going to remember those people. There's a lot of popular people isn't there? We should try and recruit some of them for Glee club." Kurt pictured Karofsky singing and dancing on a stage, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh by the thought. He turned the note around and saw there stood more. „You told me about all those people. What about you?" Kurt chuckled and started to write. „Kurt Hummel. I'm on the Cheerios, but I'm far from popular anymore, now that I'm dating Blain-" He stopped writing and grabbed the eraser. „… Far from popular, because I'm in Glee club. What about you?" He put the note on Sebastian's book and read the last lines of the first page, before the note came back. „Sebastian Smythe. Transferred from Dalton Academy. In Glee club. Not much to say." Kurt nodded to himself and put away the note.
„Okay, has everyone read it?" Mrs. Hugberg asked, and some agreeing murmuring filled the room.
Blaine shut his book and looked up at the blackboard.
„Good, then look up here and pay attention." She said and gave Puck an extra look. Blaine was scribbling down notes, as he heard a familiar laughter from behind the room. Kurt. He thought and turned around discretely. His heart dropped as he saw Kurt laughing about something Sebastian obviously had just said. He turned back and looked down in his notes without really seeing them. Mrs. Hugberg shushed at them and went back to writing on the blackboard. There were quiet in two seconds before he heard Sebastian bursting out in laughter. He tried to ignore it, and it seemed like he was the only one it was annoying to.
„I can't concentrate with the laughing." Blaine said to Artie and pressed his hands against his head.
„You can barely hear it." Artie said, and smiled.
„Are you serious?" Blaine said and laughed nervously. „They're so loud!" Artie looked around in the room, and then at Blaine.
„Doesn't seem to bother anyone else, bro." he whispered and continued writing notes. Blaine wanted to smile as he heard Kurt's laughter again. That sweet sound… But then he heard Sebastian giggling and shushing at Kurt and he felt like someone had just thrown a brick at his stomach.
