Chapter 2: Lucky
Before you read this: the Blaine-Mercedes-Kurt date hasn't happened. She doesn't really know him, but she has heard Kurt talk about him.
"Hey, Mercedes!"
She turned around and smiled as she ran to the person who owned this voice. "Kurt! Could the Warblers live without your talent?" She pulled him in for a hug. He sighed and chuckled. "I gave them a few recordings of my songs. They'll have to do it with that 'till I am back."
They let out a laugh. "I'm so happy to see you!", she said, "You seem happy! How's it going at the Warblers?"
"I am always happy if I see you. And about the Warblers... I was thinking I could tell you all about them during a lunch. And I really need shopping," he sighed and put his hands on his hips, "Like really... That uniform at Dalton's... Not my style."
"Shopping? I'm totally into that. And hearing about al those Warblers... Yeah, I wanna hear about those hotties! Let's go." They linked arms and jumped on a bus to the city. It had been a long time since these best friends had gone shopping together. And Kurt had a lot to tell about one Blaine.
At the little restaurant where they were eating, they caught up on a whole bunch of gossip. About Santana who was now dating some jock at school. Kurt was laughing his guts out when his friend told about the epic Finn fail with Rachel. "Oh my god, he really said that?" Mercedes just nodded while she was trying to hold back her laugh.
Kurt breathed and lay his hand on his stomach. "Oh gosh, I have a stomach ache from the laughing... He never tells about this things at home... I understand why though... He can act so stupid around girls... But I'm glad he's back with Rachel. I don't know what, but she has a good influence on him."
"Yeah, I know. He's better with a girlfriend. Most of us are better with girl or boyfriends.", Mercedes said.
"That's true.", her best friend said. And then he smiled way too big for this conversation. "A boyfriend is really important. You know, just someone who loves you and who cares about you... Yeah, that's really important.", he said as his voice drift of. He couldn't help smiling when he thought of his boyfriend. As soon as he realized that he was dreaming, he lokked shyly down.
"Tell me everything about him, Kurt."
He tried to look surprised. "About who?"
"So first you show up at school out of nowhere. Normally you text me first. Next thing: you look extremely happy and good. And now you're doing this talk about the good facts of love. So tell me about your boyfriend.", she smiled.
His face lit up. "Okay... So you know last sectionals? When we both won?" Mercedes nodded.
"Okay, so the guy who sang Hey, Soul Sister. That's Blaine. It's the guy who talked to me before I decided to go to the Dalton Academy. He's so handsome and he is really nice." Het let out a little giggle after that. "Oh and his eyes... he has the most gorgeous eyes. Oh his hair... If he doesn't put hair product in it, he has curls. He used to have a big curly head or that'w what he told me."
"So have you kissed him already?", she asked.
"Yeah, about ten thousand times... We were singing one day, and I've been in love with him for ages... well since the first time I saw him anyway. And his head was so close to mine, because we were singing. So I just went for it.", he said. Thinking back of that moment made him feel warm inside. His first intentional kiss and his first boyfriend. Going to spy on Dalton had been the best decision in his life. But he was away from his friends. "But I don't want to stay at Dalton."
Mercedes looked confused. "What? But you have your boyfriend there? And what about the no-bullying thing? And Karofsky?"
"Well I actually... I want Blaine to come too. Cause he regrets it... that he left his school and ran away from the bullies. And with him next to me... I think I can face Karofsky. He'll have to come out some day." As soon as he realized what he said, he put his hand in front of his mouth. Mercedes' eyes got big. "Come out? You mean... he's gay?"
"Now he's going to kill me. Please don't tell anyone," Kurt begged. "But one day when he shoved me in the lockers, I followed him to the changing room. And after some screaming and threatening, he kissed me. He tried to kiss me a second time actually, but stopped him."
"Oh my god... Are you serious?", she asked, "Karofsky kissed you?"
Kurt nodded. "I was so in shock and he ran away. Blaine tried to talk with him about it, but pushed him against the railing." He shrugged his shoulders. "But I don't want to talk about it. He has the same problem as I had a few months ago, so I won't force him to come out, that's something he has to do on his own."
"Okay," Mercedes said, "Then, what about Dalton? You don't like it there?"
"I love the school. Everybody is nice, but you know, I don't fit there. They are kind, but they're not my friends. And I need my friends more than I'm afraid of Karofsky. Besides that... That costume we have to wear... It's horrible. It's not ugly, but so not my style... I need to choose my own outfit. And I need to wear scarfs, you know how well I do with scarfs."
She chuckled. Kurt might have a boyfriend, but he was still himself. "Yeah, I know that! Have you talked with your parents about it? It's a big decision, you've only been there a few weeks. And are you really sure? Because you and Blaine can't be together for that long."
He shook his head and grinned. "Noo... 3 weeks now. And two days, to be exact. The best 3 weeks and two days of my LIFE... I really never got the whole boyfriend and sweet love thing... But now, oh I love love."
"You are really falling for him, aren't you?", she asked. A question that just needed to be answered with one of Kurt's big smiles. "Oh, have you done something with the Anthony guy? Sorry I have been talking about Blaine the whole time..."
"We have been to the movies a few time... So we are dating, but no kissing or something else", she said kind of dissapointed, "But we'll get there."
"He hasn't kissed you? Geeez... Maybe you have to take the first step? Just see how he reacts. He obviously likes you!", Kurt answered, "Oooooh... what do you think about a double date? You, Anthony and me and Blaine."
"Okay. That's on! I really want to meet him and see you two together. Have you intrpduced him at home yet? And does Finn know already?", Mercedes asked excited.
He shook his head and smiled. "Carole will love him, I know that for sure. And about my dad, I think he suspects something. You know, I'm at an all-boys school and I think I've talked already a lot about Blaine. I am a little afraid of Finn's reaction though... He's okay with the whole gay-thing, but seeing his stepbrother with a boy, I think that's going to be a lill' weird for him."
"Yeah that's probably true. He is still a guy," just to be sure, she added: "and I mean a macho, straight guy. I didn't mean it offensive."
Kurt chuckled. "None taken, Mercedes! I know what you mean."
"Anyways, he'll probably have to adjust to the idea. But seems like Blaine an okay guy. Finn will like him," she smiled reasuringly, "Just don't start making out in front of his eyes the first few days, that's just never really appropriate."
They paid the bill and on their way to the mall, Kurt's phone rang.
"Hi dad!"
"Hello, my boy! How are you doing with those Warblers?"
"Fine. But I'm with Mercedes now, we're on our way to do some shopping. What are you calling about?"
"Just want to know how my son's doing. We really miss you. So, do I have to pick you up tomorrow?"
"No, I'll drive. My car is here and I don't want to leave it for a weekend. Oh dad, do you mind if I bring someone?"
"Not a problem. Good you're making friends! Do I have to tell Carole to set up a bed?"
"Uhm... Probably yes, but I'm not sure yet. I'll text you or Carole, is that okay?"
"Sure, bud! Oh, I've discussed this with her and I know this is hard... But if you want to, you can call her mom. But don't feel any pressure."
"Oh. Ok."
"Just think about it, you don't need to do it if you don't feel that way. I just thought since you really like her and we are a real family. But we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"That's good. I'll be home at 5, so see you tomorrow Dad!"
"Bye Kurt. Love you!"
"I love you too."
He looked at Mercedes. "It was my dad."
"Yeah, I heard that. So you're gonna introduce Blaine?", she asked.
"Yes," he paused a second, "My dad said that I could say mom to Carole."
"Oh. Do you want that?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe. It's just... I mean she is definitely a mother for me, but... I think it'd hurt my mom."
"Can't you just call her Carole?", Mercedes asked.
"She deserves more than that... I want to call her something, but 'mom' is just... that's for my mom," he smiled with watery eyes, "Normally I don't have any problems with talking about her. But you know, bringing my first boyfriend, the singing, shopping... That are things I'd wanted to do with my mom..."
Mercedes didn't know how to react. She had talked about this, but... what can you say in those moments. "I don't really know what to say, Kurt... About your mom... But for Carole... Maybe you can search a nickname? Something like mom, but not that."
Kurt smiled. "Yeah, I am sorry about the depressed mom-talk... Most of the time I'm okay with it, but yeah... The nickname idea is good though! But do you have any ideas?"
"Hmm... no, not really... What about Carmom? Or C-mom? Or momma?", she suggested.
"Hmm, maybe... I'll think about it", they walked into an H&M store and Kurt went straight to this nice, white shirt with a diamont heart on it, "What do you think about this, Mercy?", he held it in front his chest, "Think it suits me?"
"Yeah! That's very handsome! I bet Blaine will like that", she winked in response.
He let out a little laugh. "Do you think? Because... I'm not really sure about us... Blaine is so mature and so handsome. I don't want to be the weak link..."
"Kurt, you the weak link? Serious? You're super hot!"
He made a face. "I look like a kid next to him. It's like he's so much older."
"That's because he needs to lose the uptight Warbler attitude. His hair should be a little bit more normal and he needs to get rid of the costume. I bet he looks better and chiller then. And you look perfectly normal." She put her hand on his shoulder. "C'mon, you need to try on that shirt, cutie. It's a good thing that it is a tight fit, you look skinnier."
He smiled. "I've just grown an inch, so I think I'm just a bit sharper. You look pretty too, by the way. That shirt you're wearing is amazing, girl," he chuckled, "If I wasn't gay, I'd know what to do..."
She laughed. "Yeah, the cute guys... always gay."
They shopped further and at 6 pm, it really was time to say goodbye. Kurt needed to get back to school and Mercedes had to go home. They both had homework to do, but a nice afternoon with friends... That was way better!
"Okay honey, my bus is here. I'll see you on Monday? Just don't tell that I'm coming to the rest, okay?"
"My lips are sealed. And say 'hi' to your baby."
He laughed. "I will," he pulled her in to a hug, "You, go taste the lips of your Anthony."
He jumped on the bus and went back to his school.
