New chapter! Sorry I took so long to update. I got pretty sick, but I also have these Royal Conservatory of Music classes once a week, and that takes up pretty much an entire evening. Homework has been a real pain, too. But I'm back, for now. So enjoy!

"Hey Kurt!" Jesse hated seeing Kurt upset. The little boy's porcelain white skin would be littered with tears, and his complexion would go beet red. Combined with his hair and over the top antics, he looked more than strange. It wasn't just the appearance of the bawling kid that upset Jesse, though, but the way that he wanted to give Kurt everything to be happy, but the boy was too proud to accept help. Or at least, that's what he thought. Now he was starting to think he was too afraid. Too afraid it was all a joke, too afraid he was being made a fool, too afraid people would change their minds. Most importantly, too afraid people would leave. Which Jesse knew Charlie would have to do eventually. A distant relative of Charlie's was starting to resurface, so in a few weeks time, his picture would be all over town. It was too risky to be stuck within a family he didn't even know,especially because there was no way the facade of little boy would last forever. He knew absolutely nothing about Charlie's life, let alone the lives of his family members, so he had to promise himself the second his picture went up, he went away. Jesse just didn't know how to say goodbye to Kurt. If he was going to look anything like he did now, how could he be left all alone here? Kurt looked up from his tears after pulling his head out from between his arms, and looked up to see Charlie. Things with Charlie had been getting weird lately. For example, on Valentine's Day, Kurt's teacher asked everybody to write a card to their Valentine; the teacher explained a valentine is someone you love. That when you see them, your heart races, and you want to say the right things, and you always want to be with them. You want to hold their hand, and give them tight hugs. Other girls in the class giggled and whispered about being kissed by the Valentine's, but Kurt knew that wasn't going to happen with his. Because as strange as it was, all of Mrs. Craig's descriptives applied to him and Charlie. After that, whenever the other boy came around, Kurt felt his face go a little read at the thought of what it would be like to kiss him. Today, though, he was too busy crying to really think too clearly. And apart from being incredibly embarrassed that Charlie had to see Kurt like this, he wasn't feeling much.

"Do you think I do girl stuff?" Kurt's voice sounded squeaky and raspy between his tears. "You know, singing, fashion shows, painting nails..." Jesse didn't want to ask who said whatever triggered him. Did it really matter? He was going to come to this realization, that he was different, one day, and at least now he could learn there was nothing wrong with him, and simply his classmates didn't get him.

"I think you do stuff that's cool. I like your fashion shows, and your nail painting. I really like your voice. And- I like you." Kurt blushed furiously, and neither boy knew what to say after that.

"But, does that mean you like girl stuff then?" Jesse didn't know how to respond to that. It was funny, really. Once upon a time, she was happy being a girl; she never really got up in the morning and beamed at her reflection, but she was content. Being a boy, though, was like her eyes had been opened wide for the first time. One of the benefits of who she was, really, is she didn't need modern day surgeries to fix the mistake that was so clearly made when her soul was put in that body; she simply became a he, and that was that. But some part of her smiled when she saw Kurt's more feminine qualities.

"Does it even matter? As long as we can like it together?" Kurt's tears immediately dried up, and Jesse saw where his mistake was made. That's promising a forever. A kind of safety net that wasn't really going to last. So, in that moment, in the body of a 9 year old boy, Jesse promised himself that one day, he would return for Kurt when Charlie's body was unrecognizable, and he would make sure somebody understood him.

"This doesn't change anything, Kurt." Kurt could hear exactly what Jesse was saying, but couldn't bother understanding the words coming out of it's mouth. His mouth? Her mouth? Kurt didn't even know what to think, let alone what to feel. An alien, that's bad enough, but a girl? Why did he invest so much into someone he knew so little about? This wasn't Charlie, this was a stranger.

"I- I don't know who you are." Kurt could feel the tears welling up in his eyes, and could barely feel Jesse reach out for his hand before he snapped. "Don't touch me!" Kurt could almost feel the entire diner go silent as he said this, and he immediately felt horrible. Just a few days ago, Kurt was drooling over Finn, who had no desire to be with him, and treated him like some kind of predator, like he was less than human. And Jesse- wasn't human. Kurt didn't know how to deal with this. Jesse's eyes were filled with burning tears, and you could feel his agony coming right from within him. But Kurt couldn't deal with things right then, so ignoring the choking sob that came from the boy he once loved, he left the alien girl in the body of a boy to wonder how things got so wrong.

"I don't understand, uh-"

"Finn, after everything I did for you and your baby mama drama, I think you kind of owe me this much. I told you already, movie, food, mindless talking. Get my mind off of things." Kurt felt like a ghost around Lima the second he left the diner. He couldn't have been bothered to even dress up for his former crush's coming over. The image of Jesse's face just wouldn't clear out of Kurt's head, so he decided that an evening of movies and nonsense with a total airhead may clear things up.

"Why didn't you just ask Mercedes over?" And it was true, he could have. But the second she saw him, she would know something was wrong, and he didn't know what would be worse. The fact he would have to lie to his best friend, or that he would have to rat out his former love as an alien being.

"Mercedes has family commitments. Come on downstairs, we can pick out a movie. You brought food, oh, wow." Finn brought enough food to feed the entire U.S Military Forces, which would probably all end up in his own stomach. Kurt couldn't help but think about how adorable he was when he was stuffing his face, yapping about Sour Patch Kids, or when they made those cupcakes for Artie- then Kurt decided he had enough problems on his mind without shamelessly crushing on the guy who was bending over his DVD collection. Much to Kurt's dismay, right as he worked up the nerve to check out his rear, Finn swiveled around, and Kurt's eyes went right for his feet.

"So, we have E.T-"

"No."

"Avatar."

"Overrated."

"Men In Black."

"Which one?"

"Two."

"Definitely not."

"Mars Attack."

"Cliched."

"Planet 51."

"Lame."

"Alien."

"What the hell, Finn, do you only own movies with aliens in them?" Finn shrugged sheepishly, as he flipped through the remainder of his DVD's, all of which involved aliens. Kurt was in no need of reminders of his relationship with Jesse, so he waltzed on over to the collection, and pulled 500 Days of Summer out.

"It's a really superb movie. It has romance, comedy, intellect." Finn smiled reluctantly as Kurt put the disc into the DVD player. "Zooey Deschanel is what you might describe as smoking, so you at least have that to look forward to." Finn nodded his head, then, as the menu started up, clumsily played with the DVD case while eating handfuls of Smartfood popcorn, which Kurt wasn't going to bother and say was quite bad in excess.

"After it looks as if she's left his life for good this time, Tom Hansen reflects back on the just over one-"

"Read to yourself, Finn."

"Oh, sorry." The movie started up, and Finn laughed quite obnoxiously at the opening credit, which Kurt couldn't help but roll his eyes at. Was he actually crazy enough to fall for someone so purely invested in finding humor through only the most blatantly obvious methods of slapstick? Kurt found himself even more annoyed, because his dedicated time for gazing at Joseph Gordon Levitt was interrupted when he felt Finn tugging at his sleeve.

"What is it, Finn Hudson?

"Uh, don't take this the wrong way, but this kind of reminds me of you right now."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you're all sad and stuff, and your clothes are all worn out. And you haven't even told me more of those facts you had about how prolonged exposure to girls can cause your hair to fall out." Kurt winced at the last one, which luckily went unnoticed by Finn. Actually, the boy could have been brain dead and he would have worked out by now what his schemes were. The fact he came, though, meant he trusted him, which did invoke a feeling of bliss in his chest.

"Yeah. I have been sad lately."

"Well, I'm here to talk about it, if it's a guy-"

"It's a guy." Finn swallowed loudly, then took a huge chomp out of his licorice.

"Great. Is it someone I know, in Glee Club, does he go to-"

"It's Jesse. St. James." Kurt watched Finn's expression move through an entire array of displays, so instead of watch him kick a chair over, he decided to take matters into his own hands. "Don't worry, I'm not crushing on him or anything, and he isn't harassing me. We used to know each other, a long, long time ago." Finn nodded silently, then went back to eating his food. The silence was unbearable. They shared laughs and little remarks throughout the movie, but after Jesse's name was brought up, it was like someone shot a gun in the Hummel house. In some ways, Kurt felt badly for picking this film, because it reminded him a little of Finn's situation with Rachel.

"Why can't she just be with him, you know?" Kurt looked up from his bag of organic chips to see Finn staring wistfully at the television set. From how it looked, his eyes could have been filled with tears. "I mean, he likes her, she liked him, why can't they just make it work." Kurt was starting to feel a little uncomfortable, and knowing how the movie ended, he felt it best to stop things ASAP.

"That's it. Movie's done." Finn looked up at Kurt like he shot his puppy, but Kurt didn't budge.

"But-"

"No. You want Rachel. I want Jesse. We're letting little distractions get in our way. Why don't you just reach out and fight for her!"

"I tried, but-"

"Tried, as in tried once. Rachel loves you, Finn. She may be too proud to show it, but she does. So just go out there, and show her exactly how you feel." Kurt felt immensely proud of himself. He could have said that his sadness came from the incessant nagging of girls, but he knew for once he had to do the right thing. But it didn't apply just for Finn. Kurt had to do the same. He loved Jesse. If Jesse was an alien, who cares? A girl? He was a boy now, and he would treat a transgendered person just the same. All of these little details were just excuses to try and chicken out of an epic romance. Maybe Kurt was afraid committing so early to so much drama would be a mistake. But the one thing he's learned is that when it came to Jesse, he could always count on him to be the person he fell in love with.

I almost felt like going Kinn, but that would have been a huge betrayal. Hey, I may think him and Jesse have an epic romance thing going on, but if you have something in mind, share it with me. Do you think he should be with Finn, Jesse, or Wes? The jock, the alien, or the alien hunter? It's all very dramatic, isn't it? Well, I guess that's that. By the way, Sky Ferreira is this amazing singer I've followed since March, and she has her first official US single, Obsession. Check it out on iTunes, it's unreal. Seriously, so good that it deserves a shameless plug. Until next time!
