So, apparently Finn had a big mouth. Kurt knew that he wasn't deliberately doing everything wrong, but he'd 'accidentally' let it slip that Kurt had a boyfriend for the second time.
Rachel, Finn and Sam were the only people in Glee Club that knew about Blaine. Kurt wasn't hiding the fact that he had a boyfriend, but he hadn't told his friends anything, and nobody had seemed to notice that something was different.
It happened while Rachel was in the middle of one of her solos. Finn had recognised the song instantly as he'd heard Blaine singing it and playing it every time he was at their house.
"Hey Kurt, doesn't Blaine like this song?" Finn had asked, loud enough for the whole Glee Club to hear. Rachel pouted, crossing her arms over her chest as all of the attention was focused on Kurt.
"Yup..." Kurt said awkwardly, swallowing and knowing that people could tell that something was up.
"Who's Blaine?" Mercedes asked, raising her eyebrow.
"I..."
"He's Kurt's boyfriend." Finn said nonchalantly.
"Finn!" Kurt and Sam both exclaimed as the room erupted in cheers and woops, eliciting a groan from Kurt.
"Boyfriend?" Mercedes asked. "What boyfriend?"
"Wanky!" Santana all but shouted, receiving a glare from Mr Schue.
"Huh...who knew Hummel had it in him..." Puck muttered.
"Is he a dolphin?" Brittany asked, causing everyone in the room to stare at her strangely. "What? Dolphins are gay sharks, guys. Duh."
"Oh for crying out loud..." Kurt mumbled. "Yes, I have a boyfriend - called Blaine, if you didn't pick that up - we've been going out for two months -"
"Two months!?" Mercedes exclaimed. "And you didn't tell me!?"
"Let me finish," Kurt groaned. "We've been going out for two months and before Finn opens his big mouth again, he has a stutter and he's really shy, which is one of the reasons I didn't tell you guys because I know that you're all going to want to meet him."
"Hell yes, I want to meet him!" Mercedes said. "I can't believe you've been keeping this a secret."
"Kurt," Sam said in a whisper, although the room was silent, so people heard him anyway. "Blaine's gonna freak out when you tell him about this."
"I know." Kurt groaned, covering his face in frustration.
"Wait, Sam knew about this? Of all people..." Mercedes asked.
"Yes, Sam knew. Sam knew because he's known Blaine practically since birth and he's the one that set us up in the first place. Actually, you guys already know who he is anyway."
"He's the lead singer in The Warblers," Sam supplied. "Short, kinda dorky, helmet of gelled black hair..."
"I'm telling him you said that." Kurt laughed.
"Woah, slow down," Santana said. "You're dating our competition?"
"He's not 'our competition' to me Santana," Kurt snapped. "Yes, he's part of an opposing team, but our relationship has literally nothing to do with Glee Club. He's not dating me to get information about our Glee Club, and I'm not dating him to get information about his. He's been best friends with Sam this whole time, you just didn't know it, so don't start ganging up on me for dating somebody who's part of another Glee Club."
"Gee, calm down," Santana commented. "No need to get all defensive."
"This is exactly why I didn't tell you guys about it!" Kurt exclaimed, completely ignoring Santana. "I knew I'd just get snarky comments and judgemental replies from everyone. Rachel nearly scared him away, Finn's told practically everyone that I'm dating him and he's insulted Blaine several times already -"
"Kurt," Sam said softly. "Calm down."
"No, Sam," Kurt said. "I'm not going to 'calm down.' All I want is a friend who I can talk to about how freaking amazing my boyfriend is and I can't because the only thing people in this club care about is what school he goes to!"
"Kurt -" Mercedes was cut off by Sam putting a hand on Kurt's shoulder and gently pushing him off his chair.
"You're coming with me." He said, directing Kurt out of the room.
He lead Kurt to his car and sat inside with him. Kurt leaned his head against the headrest and let out a groan, closing his eyes. "I'm so stupid."
"You're not," Sam assured him. After a few minutes of silence he spoke again, unable to stop himself. "You're in love with him, aren't you?"
Kurt opened his eyes, turning his head to look at Sam, smiling a tiny bit. "Am I that obvious?"
"If you toned it down on the shouting a little, you probably wouldn't have been." Sam teased, smiling at Kurt.
"I couldn't help it," Kurt said. "I'm sick of Finn telling everybody stuff that's personal when I wanted to tell people in my own time. And then everyone's reaction...I knew they'd be like that. Why can't they be like Blaine's friends? They teased us, sure, but you could tell that they were happy for us."
"Because Blaine's friends are practically inhuman," Sam laughed. "Seriously, they're the strangest people I've ever met and that's really saying something."
Kurt laughed a little before sighing. "I just...I kind of wish I had a friendship like yours and Blaine's. I mean, I'd say Rachel and Mercedes were my 'best friends' and I could probably talk to them about whatever I wanted to, but it's not the same. You and Blaine are like...it's kind of like your one person split into two, and I've never been that close to anyone."
"You're so blind," Sam laughed. "Kurt, Blaine is your best friend. I mean...not in the same way that he's my best friend because he's practically my brother and I couldn't wanna like, make out with him and stuff, but he's the person that you're that close to. He's the person that you can talk to about anything, you silly, silly person."
"I guess but...what if Blaine and I had an argument and I needed to talk about it to someone? Then who would I go to?"
"You'd go to me so that I could hit you both over the head with something really hard." Sam laughed.
"Noted." Kurt laughed.
"But in all seriousness - I love Blaine. Other than my parents, he's probably the person than means the most to me, and I know that you're starting to feel that way about him too. There was a reason I set you guys up together, Kurt. I knew that you guys would be perfect together, but I also knew that I could trust you to look after him. You know as well as I do that he hasn't been accepted his whole life, and I experienced first hand how badly that hurt him, but I knew that if anybody was going to accept him it was going to be you. I know that you and I aren't close in the same way Blaine and I are, but you know that you can talk to me, right?"
Kurt smiled softly at Sam. "Thank you."
