So everybody, just so we're clear. I am a hard core Klaine supporter, but with mounting evidence my hopes were slightly dashed. But as this continues, Flirt is also looking okay, at least in the AU non-canon sort of fashion. So I'm gonna keep this up, even with the episode tonight, though I really can't wait to see what really happens.
Thank you so much for all the reviews, and the story and author alerts that have been made. I am really beyond thankful for it. I couldn't stop smiling when I was going through my mail. Thank you a million times, your support means the world to me, and it's really keeping my updates frequent.

"The green V-neck sweater," Kurt repeated certainly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Blaine I'm sure."
"And the black jeans?" Blaine re-asked, holding the pair of pants up in question.
"Clean, classic and effortless. Trust me, it's the best way to go."
"Alright," Blaine said, putting the chosen outfit on a hanger and setting it back into his closet. "Thanks."
"Happy to help," Kurt said, sitting pertly on Blaine's bed. "So...Sebastian. I didn't know he was your type."
"My type?" Blaine responded innocently, taking a seat next to Kurt.
"You know, blonde surfer type."
"I don't know that I have a specific type. But he's very cute and very sweet. You know when you meet someone and there's just that spark? A natural attraction."
Kurt tried desperately to keep from rolling his eyes. "I'm vaguely familiar with the idea, yes."
Blaine just smiled brightly again. "That's pretty much how it was."
"Alright, but can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kurt asked, unable to keep out the tone of disappointment. "That you meet someone."
"I didn't want to jinx it. In case nothing happened."
"But you had us all help you at the Gap. I'm just wondering why you didn't mention anything before hand."
"Why does it matter?" Blaine breathed out, confused.
"Because it's just the sort of thing you tell your friends."
"Friends don't share everything."
"But best friends share the important things," Kurt burst out, standing abruptly.
"That's not exactly fair," Blaine said, standing as well, his arms folded. "You're suddenly all hung up on Flint and you never mentioned anything to me."
"Hung up on Flint?" Kurt repeated, not approving of the distaste in Blaine's tone as he had said it. "What's that supposed to mean."
"You two ride together on the way back from the mall. And then I find you both cozy-ed up in a practice room."
"We were practicing music."
"Well that isn't what it looked like," Blaine accused. "I Don't care if you like him Kurt but it isn't fair for you to get upset over Sebastian if you didn't feel the need to share about Flint."
"There isn't anything to tell. Flint and I are just friends."
"Fine," Blaine said, holding his hands up in surrender. "Just be careful okay."
"Why? Am I suddenly in danger by becoming better friends with him?"
"Just, be cautious. That's all I'm suggesting," Blaine said offhandedly, his smile tight. "Now, you have homework and I have homework, so go and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Fine," Kurt said, picking up his things. "And try to get to bed early."
"Why?"
"Cause I'm hoping it will cure your bout of grouchiness," Kurt finished smartly, leaving the room.
The next day Kurt and Blaine interacted as usual, the argument apparently forgotten on Blaine's part. While Kurt was polite enough to pretend it hadn't happened, he was still quite upset with Blaine, so he canceled their everyday lunch meeting and studied in the commons. The room was pleasantly deserted, the silence proving very beneficial to the equations he was solving. He only stopped when he felt someone sit down beside him, and it wasn't Blaine, because that wasn't how Blaine smelled.
"Being quite a Book worm today," Flint said, looking briefly at the work laid out in front of Kurt.
"Just less stuff I'll have to deal with when I'm at home," Kurt said without looking up. "And I'm still mad at you for yesterday, don't think I've forgotten."
"And I'm still gonna make it up to you. Starting with tomorrow night being totally on me. Since I got you into it. That's why I'm here actually."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, I talked to Blaine earlier. He want's to do an early dinner and then a movie. We can all just meet at the restaurant, and if it goes totally south you and I can skip the movie or something."
"Alright. Even if we exclude that fact that I think this is a bad idea," Kurt said, setting down his pencil. "This entire thing is a very bad idea."
"You're over reacting," Flint told him, but Kurt plowed on.
"Not to mention the fact that it's given Blaine the entirely wrong idea about us. We got into an argument last night because I expected him to tell me about Sebastian, but since I didn't tell him about you, I had no right to complain. There isn't even a you!" Kurt exclaimed, exasperated.
"Really?" Flint gasped. "I hadn't a clue that I was imaginary."
"Don't get smart with me, you know what I mean."
"He just sounds a little jealous to me."
"Jealous?" Kurt scoffed in disbelief. "Of what?"
"Probably thinks I'm gonna steal you away from him. Nothing bothers Blaine more than if his followers aren't at his beck and call."
"Shut up," Kurt snapped. "That's an awful thing to say."
"Doesn't mean it's any less true," Flint admitted. "I know your close to Blaine and everything, but you forget that I've known him a lot longer."
"I don't want to talk about this, could you go please? I want to finish this before I go home today."
"Just one more thing," Flint said, standing obediently. "I'd hate for you to drive back to Lima just to have to come back tomorrow. I was wondering if you wanted to just stay at my place tonight. I live really close, so I don't board."
"I don't know," Kurt began uncertain. "My dad thought I'd be home for the weekend."
"I'll let you pick out my clothes for tomorrow," Flint offered, exploiting Kurt's weakness for fashion. "Whatever you select I will wear."
Kurt exhaled harshly, trapped. "Fine," he agreed. "But whatever I choose, no matter what."
"Deal," Flint confirmed, and left the room without another word.

Kurt packed an overnight bag and walked down in to the entrance hall to meet up with Flint, who stood there, playing with his car keys.
"Ready?" Flint asked.
"Mmhmm."
"Okay, I'm parked in the South lot."
They walked down the front steps of the school, not getting far when they were halted.
"Kurt!" Blaine called, jogging up to him, pointedly ignoring Flint. "Hey, I wanted to make sure you were in the loop for Saturday."
"Yeah, Flint told me," he said, nodding in Flint's direction.
"Do you need a ride back from Lima tomorrow?" Blaine asked politely.
"No, it's fine. I'm staying at Flint's tonight."
"Oh, okay," Blaine said looking between the two of them. "Fine, then I'll see you both tomorrow."
"Yeah, looking forward to it," was Kurt's awkward reply.
"See you Blaine," Flint said smiling slyly, putting his arm around Kurt's shoulder and guiding him towards the parking lot, leaving Blaine to watch them go.

Push the peace and toss the hate,
