Kurt kept wavering back and forth on whether he should introduce Harry to the Glee Club. Mercedes and Santana had been badgering him, now that they had met him, to introduce his hotness to the rest of the club as well.
Mercedes and Kurt walked down the hallways as she said, "Oh boo, everyone in the Glee Club would be happy to see that you have a new and really close friend who you can share most of your secrets with. Though, you'll have to keep him away from Santana. She would eat him up." Kurt adjusted his coat collar as he said, "Don't worry. They've already met, she invited him for dinner, and he turned her down." A laugh erupted from her, bordering on hysteria. "He must love you if he's still talking to you after he met Santana."
While Mercedes spoke about friendship, Santana spoke about making out.
"You should get up all in that. He's hot, he had a yummy accent, and he's loaded." At his look, she said, "And because he's nice to you, and you can gay it up wherever you go." Kurt sighed, "I think he'll run away if he sees the craziness that is us." Santana stated, "I would beat you up if I didn't remember how Rachel sent that Filipino girl to the crack house. Don't even try to get them together, she'll probably start imagining them having British –American babies. That girl is cray-cray." Kurt just waked away, texting Harry about a fashion choice of denim on denim someone had chosen to wear at school that day.
Over the next few weeks, Kurt saw Harry shying away from most stuff. He let Kurt order the coffee and hot chocolate for them, though he always gave the money and never let Kurt pay. Except for meeting him and buying groceries for the week, Harry never left his house. Kurt had school, Glee Club, working at the garage and meeting Harry twice a week, but Harry only had the last part. Kurt was definitely worried for him. He decided, despite the schedule he had thought up, that Harry should meet some of his Glee friends. Harry should actually get to know the town other than the coffee shop where they stayed all the time, or the skating park. If persuaded, Puck could even take him to bars. Even though Harry was nineteen, he looked old enough to get into bars, unlike him, who people mistook to be twelve even though he was actually sixteen.
He thought he would ask Harry before parading him to the mob, who would definitely crowd over him like crazy. So he texted Harry, "Wanna get off the couch where you've been watching Family Guy marathons and get a coffee with me?" A reply came back instantaneously, "I'm not watching a marathon. I'm doing laundry, and watching Britain's Next Top Model." Kurt giggled, and replied, "Those models look hideous. I can fake an accent if you want to remember how your old place was. Get up, get dressed, I'll meet you there in fifteen." He adjusted his clothes, sprayed his hair with more hairspray till his coif stayed still, and went down to talk to his Dad. Burt was watching the TV, but put it off when he saw the look of happiness that Kurt got when going to meet that British dude. He told Kurt, "You know you can tell me anything right? I don't want you to go back to where we were before; we can be open with each other right?" Kurt saw Finn come to the top of the staircase, give a look at them and go back inside his bedroom. He said, "Don't worry dad, if I ever get to date anyone in a town like this I will definitely let you know, the first thing. Or maybe I'll tell Mercedes first, because she will kill me if I didn't tell her first." Burt laughed and patted Kurt on the back as they hugged. "Go, but come back by nine. You have school tomorrow." Kurt nodded as he took the keys off the wall and drove to the coffee shop.

Harry had ordered a new drink that had come out the previous day. They called it the Big-O, and it had Oreo bits mixed with coffee and whipped cream. As they took their drinks to their usual table, Harry said, "If you are going to convert me to coffee, I'd do it with a concession of chocolate and cream." Kurt just giggled as some of the whipped cream landed on Harry's nose. He took a tissue, but as he wiped it off, the moment felt more important and the air thicker than usual. It all went back to normal when he put the tissue down.
As they finished about half of their coffees and Harry had told Kurt about how much his novel had progressed, Kurt decided to take the plunge. He said, "Santana has been begging me to introduce you to the group." He could see the surprise on Harry's face, seeing how he swallowed a gulp of ice-cream. Kurt rushed to pat his back as the coldness became better. Two minutes later, Harry coughed one last time as he whispered, "Why would she want that?" Kurt drummed his fingers on the table, "So she can say that she got to meet you before anyone else in the group. Mercedes knows about you, but she hasn't met you yet. She would love to rub it in." Harry wondered, "But there was one more girl who was with her. The one who said someone smelled like sunshine." Kurt shrugged, "Her name is Brittany and yeah, she also saw you, but the two of them are like a unit, so she technically doesn't count." Harry seemed a bit dumb-struck as he repeated, "I don't know why she would want that. I'm nothing special." Kurt's heart went out to him as he knew Harry's relatives had done a number on him and said, "You are plenty special, but the main reason for her is because, I don't make friends very easily. Snark and Sarcasm are my two best allies."
Harry coughed again, as he sipped his drink carefully. "You didn't use either of those while talking to me the first time and in very small quantities since then." Kurt detected that Harry was trying to change the subject, and went with it, knowing that he didn't want to push Harry too far. He did know that Harry was slowly, but surely becoming a loner. And it was his duty as Harry's best friend in America, not to let that happen.

The Big O belongs to a coffee shop here called Café Coffee Day. I didn't like it as much because it wasn't too hot, but anyway…
Hope you liked it! As usual, review if you can or ciao till next week!
