Ok- I hope this chapter is good as well! I appreciate the warm fuzzies and hope for more of them/ some constructive criticism, please.

"So, your boyfriend has another man. He's even wearing his clothes," Wes commented to Blaine over breakfast the next day. It was Saturday and students were allowed to go home if they wished, but the Warblers had a meeting scheduled to select songs for Regionals so they were all required to stay. They were, however, allowed to wear their own clothes on the weekends.

Blaine Glanced over at Kurt and Luce sitting a little ways down the table and chatting animatedly. They were both decked out in the most fashionable clothes he had ever seen. Blaine thought that Kurt was wearing one of Lucian's scarves. (Kurt had made use of Lucian's fantastic wardrobe that day, though Blaine was not aware of the promise made the previous night). Even so, it didn't bother him.

"They're just friends." He said confidently. He was still a little sad, though. Kurt never talked like that with him.

Kurt noticed Blaine's gaze and waved with long, delicate fingers, causing Blaine's heart to skip a beat. Blaine beckoned Kurt with a finger and pointed at the empty space beside him. Kurt then nudged Luce and muttered something that made the other boy blush profusely.

Kurt and Lucian moved down and sat across from each other, Kurt beside Blaine and Lucian beside Wes. Blaine was still wary of Lucian, probably out of jealousy, but made an effort to participate in their conversation.

They were talking about clothes, and if Blaine was slightly out of his league, Wes and David were completely lost. They were just too different from Kurt and Luce to be close friends with them. When Kurt had first moved to Dalton they made an effort, and they clearly liked the boy, but they just couldn't keep up with some of his hobbies and conversations.

Suddenly, Blaine felt the bench he and Kurt were sitting on vibrate. Kurt pulled out his phone and tapped on the screen to view a message.

Kurt, when are you getting your white ass back to Lima this weekend? We need to go shopping. –M

Blaine read the text over Kurt's shoulder.

Sorry Merce, the Warblers have a meeting. I would totally be there if I could. I have a new friend to bring with us too. –K

A friend or a 'friend'?-M

You'll find that out when you meet him! - K

Well, that had better be soon. I'm making it soon. PS Tell Blaine I said HI- M

K- K

Kurt looked over at Blaine and said, "Mercedes says hi," unaware that Blaine had read the entire set of messages already. He went back to conversing with Lucian about clothes.

"Luce! Mercedes wants to meet you! By the way did you read that article about…"

Blaine was left to ponder over that ambiguous response to "A friend or a 'friend?' " It almost made him doubt his earlier conviction.

No. NO. They are just friends. Lucian likes someone else, He managed to reassure himself through his thoughts.

Kurt was lounging around the common room reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for what was possibly the fifth time. He May not have looked like it, but he loved books just as much as fashion magazines and the Harry Potter series was one of his favorites. Lucian was busy texting someone, though Kurt didn't know who since Luce didn't appear to have many other friends. He never talked to anyone besides Kurt and whoever Kurt was talking to, which really made Kurt wonder how the boy knew so goddamn much about the school and everyone in it.

He heard a slight commotion outside the door. He didn't know why so many people had decided to stay over the weekend this week, or why they had decided to make noise right outside the door while he was trying to read, but it was going to stop.

He had just slammed the book shut and gotten up to give someone a piece of his mind when the door burst open and he found himself tackled along with a squeal of, "KURRRTTTTTTTT!"

He pulled back from the insanely tight hug to look at who had just assaulted him. Mercedes beamed back at him. Behind her, stood Tina, his stepbrother Finn, and Rachel (who Finn had apparently forgiven because their arms were linked). He knew why there was so much commotion now. There were GIRLS in the dorm. Everyone HAD to freak out. He rolled his eyes.

"Hi guys. What are you doing here?" He asked Mercedes when she had finally let go of him completely.

"Well you said you couldn't come shopping, and I had to get my Kurt time in somehow," Mercedes said.

"By the way, I brought you a little something from home that you might have been missing. Finn, the package!" Finn looked startled and pulled out a hastily wrapped something. He had obviously wrapped it himself, and Kurt and Mercedes both sighed at the same time at the sight of it.

"He's hopeless, isn't he?" Kurt asked Mercedes as he took it. He opened it up to reveal his favorite Marc Jacobs cashmere plaid scarf with the purple and the brown that almost matched his hair color. He made a little excited shriek and hugged both Mercedes and Finn.

"You don't know how long I had to talk to him before he could pick out the right scarf from your closet. He seemed to have trouble distinguishing between plaid and checkered, and couldn't remember what shade your hair was. I was half afraid he was going to show up with your other brown and purple scarf." Mercedes and Kurt both laughed while Finn looked slightly indignant.

"They're very similar, ok!" He exclaimed. Kurt placated him with a "sure, sure" and then turned to Luce.

"Isn't this the most gorgeous scarf you've ever seen, Luce?"

Luce looked up from his texting, which was causing him to frown slightly, and his face brightened, "Oh! Marc Jacobs! Good choice!"

"Is this the new friend you told me about, Kurt?" asked Mercedes with a sly grin.

"Yeah." He said as she looked Luce over. He could tell she equated him to a friend and not a 'friend' because her grin changed to one of plain happiness rather than the sly one she had been wearing.

"Hi, nice to meet you. My name is Lucian." Mercedes squealed a bit at his British accent and hugged him too, catching Luce by surprise. He looked happy, though.

"I'm Mercedes," she said, "You take care of my boy and tell me if I need to come cut any of the other guys here."

"Will do," He replied.

"He's really cute," Mercedes commented to Kurt and he nodded in agreement.

They began conversing and covering all the things that had happened at McKinley since Kurt left, with the others throwing in comments periodically.

"…and Dave is extremely pissed that he was kicked off all the sports teams because he had in school suspension." Mercedes was telling him, "serves him right, though he should have been expelled."

Kurt was so caught up in the conversation and being around his friends that he didn't even notice Luce look down at his phone, assume a stricken look, and run out of the room about to burst out in tears.
