a/n: I don't own glee, or any of the characters mentioned. Blah blah you know the drill, don't sue me.

I'm still not entirely sure where this is going, but the rating should go up later, weee!

Once again, not beta'd, if you see anything wrong can you let me know so I'm not making a complete ass of myself for very long?

Kurt's weekend had gone by with only a few note worthy events, the main one being that he managed to score a McQueen jacket with a discount because a button had fallen off. It would take Kurt no more than five minutes to sew new buttons on, so the discount was worth it because other than that, the jacket was perfect. It had a nautical feel to it, and it would go with a pair of jeans he's bought the week before.

Meanwhile, he'd followed Santana and Brittany around the mall, trailing behind as their pinkies were interlaced and they walked in to almost every shop imaginable, only really bringing Kurt in to the conversation when they needed an opinion on an outfit.

His day had been pretty dull, to say the least.

That was until the trio had stopped for lunch in the food court, and a familiar pair of golden eyes caught his attention through the plethora of people stuffing their faces with food. Kurt was surprised that the hideous bow tie didn't catch his eye first.

So Blaine was here, great. Kurt's mind began to travel at a hundred miles an hour relaying the dreams of last night and the events of yesterday. Oh, and he was with Rachel Berry, great. How anyone could stand to be around her for extended lengths of time, Kurt would never understand.

"Are you staring at the dolphin over there, Kurt?" Brittany asked after taking a sip of her drink, looking over at Blaine as well.

"No, I... Uh..." Kurt began to mumble before realizing the significance of what Brittany just said. "Wait Britt, he's gay?"

He knew it.

She nodded back, taking another sip before speaking again. "Mhm, that's why he got a slushy facial yesterday, you saw that didn't you?" she asked, turning her attention back to her drink so she could mix it with her straw.

Kurt nodded, looking back over at Blaine with his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Okay so Blaine was gay, that didn't need to mean anything, right?

Santana seemed bored with the whole conversation as she began to file her nails, one of her legs crossed over the other and she winked at group of guys that just passed their table.

"Look Hummel if you want that ass, go get it" she shrugged, turning her focus back down to her nails when she realized the group wasn't going to stop for her.

Looking at Santana for a second, Kurt realized she was right. With his level of popularity, he could do what he wanted and not be questioned for it. As long as he didn't trail after Blaine, he would just have to... Strongly pursue him, yeah that could work, couldn't it? Their first impressions had been good enough, and besides, being gay and looking how Blaine did, he was going to need all the popular help he could get.

Monday rolled around soon enough, seeing as Kurt's Sunday was either spent working in his Dad's shop for a little extra money, or a half attempt at studying. He was usually a good student, but Kurt just hadn't felt the motivation to well, do anything lately. The only class he was still excelling at was French, and that was only because he was more advanced than the teacher, and if he was anything less than perfect for Coach Sylvester, he'd get kicked off the team. Or put at the bottom of the pyramid.

Frankly he didn't know which was worse sometimes.

Kurt was walking down the hall towards his calculus class—well strutting would be a better word for it—when he was stopped by a hand tapping his shoulder.

"Hi- hi Kurt, can I talk to you for a second?"

As Kurt turned around, he raised his eyebrows in curiosity. It was none other than Blaine that had stopped him, causing him to lightly bite his lip in interest. What would Blaine want to talk to him about?

Kurt nodded to indicate they could talk, folding his arms and leaning on one leg as he payed attention to the shorter boy.

"So, Coach Sue called me in to her office earlier today. She said well, a lot of things..." Blaine gripped the satchel hanging over his shoulder, twisting the strap nervously. "She started talking about my hair and how she thinks if you hit it gently with a hammer it would crack down the middle, then she went on about my bow tie and I-"

"Blaine you're rambling, get to the point" Kurt interjected, he'd heard stories like this many times and frankly they got boring after a while.

"Sorry... Well she said your grades were slipping in a few of your classes, classes that I'm doing well in, so she wanted me to tutor you... And she to tell you that if you say no then you'll be washing pom-poms and sweat rags until your grades are back up to standard- Please don't shoot the messenger"

Blaine added the last part at the end before Kurt had the chance to shut him down; he knew that bad grades could be embarrassing. He'd been there before.

Sighing, Kurt rubbed the back of his neck and rolled his shoulders as he thought. He could use the tutoring as a way to get closer to Blaine... But he had to admit his grades had seen better days. The only thing he didn't understand was, why did he need a tutor when Brittany didn't?

"I guess I sorta have to take you up on that offer, don't I?" Kurt said with a small chuckle, smiling a little at Blaine to try and calm the tension. He could tell Blaine was nervous, maybe Coach Sue had intimidated him too much.

Then again, maybe it was Kurt and his uniform that was intimidating.

"Cool! I can help you a lot. If you want we can meet in the library after your Cheerio's practice tonight? I have Glee club at the same time so it's not that big of a deal. Unless you want to study somewhere more private- I don't mean you know, intimate private or anything. Just like, I know you have a reputation or whatever so-"

"Blaine?"

"Yeah?"

"You're rambling again."

"Sorry..."

Kurt continued smiling at Blaine, the way he continued rambling was endearing. With his bowtie and suspenders, Kurt would almost say he was adorable on top of being attractive. But that made him wonder what he was like underneath the gel and the plaid button ups...

"Is the library okay then?" Blaine asked nervously,

"The library is fine Blaine" Kurt chuckled, hooking a finger under Blaine's suspenders and pulling it back a little before letting it snap back against Blaine. "I'll see you then"

Turning on his heel, Kurt continued his walk to his calculus class, shaking his head in amusement as he thought about Blaine. Tonight was going to be interesting to say the least, if he was like that in public what would he be like when it was just the two of them?
