Kurt's POV
I still can't believe I'm actually out with Sam Evans. I've been having a really great time with him tonight. Going out with a guy who I like and actually likes me back is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. He even gave me flowers! He is just the sweetest thing. I don't care if he gives flowers to everyone. He gave me, Kurt Hummels, flowers and that's the only part that matters.
However, although I'm really enjoying myself, there is a tiny part of me that keeps hoping that he will finally make a move on me. Like a real move. Well, ok actually it's a big part of me that wishes that. I can't make the first move or it'll seem like I'm a two timing whore. Besides, I want to be the one being pursued for a change. But after I think about it, he can't really do anything with me since Puck and I are "together".
Great. What am I going to do? Maybe I should tell him now? I glanced across the table over at him. Oh my god, his smile is so cute. Ok, focus Kurt. I have to think of how to tell him about Puck and me.
"So, how's your food?" Sam asked.
"Oh, the food's great. The spaghetti is pretty tasty."
"That's good. I hope you're having a nice time tonight."
"Yeah, I am! It's been a really wonderful evening. The movie was great too." Ok, so superheroes and talking animals don't really appeal to me but it was obvious Sam really wanted to watch that show. And he looked so adorable when he was so engrossed with the show.
"Great. So, um…how…how are you and Puck doing?" He tried to play it cool but I could tell that he started to tense up a little. Oh no. What should I tell him?
"Um, he's doing ok."
"Oh. Um, ok. Well, I've noticed you guys have become much closer recently."
"Yeah…well, I guess you could say that." What kind of crap answer is that? I'm clearly avoiding the main issue here. He looks kind of crestfallen. Shit, maybe now really is the time to tell him the truth.
I took a deep breath.
"Sam, I have to tell you something. How do I say this…um…it's about me and Puck."
The look on his face changed to one of a mixture of fear and hope.
"Well, Puck and I aren't really…together."
He paused for a moment, as if trying to process what I just said. "…You and Puck are not together?"
"No, not really."
"But…but you guys have been so…intimate." He looked really puzzled.
"Well, it was Puck's plan…" How on earth do I continue…
"Puck's plan? What plan? To do what?"
"Puck suggested we pretend to be together to…well…to make you jealous."
"So, all those times you guys were just faking it?" He still had that quizzical look plastered on his face.
"Yeah…" I was starting to get a little nervy.
"You wanted to make me jealous? So…you knew that I like you?"
"Um, I didn't know at first. I only knew after Puck told me."
"Wait. So you're available now?" His face suddenly brightened up.
"Yeah I am. I was hoping that I wouldn't be soon though." I smiled at him flirtingly. If it was even possible, his grin became even wider.
"So you're not mad about the whole set up?"
He looked at me for a moment before smiling. "Nah. I have to say I'm still sort of stunned though. I think I need a minute to take it all fully in."
"I still feel kind of bad for deceiving you though."
"Don't feel bad. I'm actually glad it happened. It gave me the push I needed to finally try and court you."
My heart fluttered when he said he was trying to court me. I already knew he was but there's just something about him actually saying it that kind of sends tingles down my spine.
"I better take you home now. It's getting late. I don't want to worry your dad."
Huh? Talk about anti climax.
"Oh. Yeah sure, I guess I should head home." I tried to hide my disappointment. Everything has been cleared up and the setting was perfect but he still didn't ask me to be his boyfriend or anything of the sort. He said he's not mad so what's stopping him?
We were walking over to the car park when we bumped into some people from school. I didn't know them personally but I recognized them as Sam's friends.
"Hey Sam! Fancy bumping into you here." One of the girls battered her eyelashes at him. I looked her up and down. Hmph. What distasteful clothes. I dress much better than her.
"Who's your friend?" Another girl with long brown hair asked.
"Oh. This is Kurt, my friend from glee club." Friend? Just a friend? Ok fine, I accept that since he hasn't officially asked me to go steady yet.
"Ooh Sam, have you done your history homework yet? I have some trouble with it. Do you think you can help me with it tomorrow?" The same girl who battered her ugly eyelashes at Sam spoke again with a very disgustingly flirty tone. Just read the textbook you dimwit!
"Stop flirting with him. Don't you know he's with Quinn?" A guy from the group said.
"Yeah. How are things between you and Quinn? Still going strong? You guys make a really great couple." The girl with brown hair said.
I couldn't help but frown. Well, they do look good together I guess. But I'm the one he likes and we would make a fabulous couple.
"Um, Quinn and I aren't really an item. We tried going out for awhile but it didn't work out."
"Oh sorry to hear that. Well, is there anyone else you like now?"
"Um…yeah, actually there is." Sam said while rubbing the back of neck.
I feel like I had just been sent to wonderland.
"Ooh really? Who's the girl?" The brown hair girl asked excitedly.
"Oh um…just some girl. You don't know her."
Now it feels like I've been kicked out of wonderland and into the dirt. Not long ago, he just told me that he likes me and now he's telling others that he likes this unknown girl? I thought he would have been comfortable letting others know about us since he already started pursuing me. Well, I guess I was sadly mistaken. All of a sudden, I'm not so sure about being in a relationship with him.
Puck's POV
"Hey, what's eating you?" I asked Kurt who was sitting beside me. He seemed really glum.
He didn't respond.
"Didn't you go out with Sam yesterday? Shouldn't you be jumping for joy?"
He still didn't say anything. He just frowned even more.
"Did Sam do something bad to you? Did he force himself on you or something?" I started to feel anger boiling inside of me. If he did I'll definitely beat him to the ground.
"No he didn't. He didn't even touch me." My anger slowly subsided.
"Well, then what's wrong?"
"He told his friends that he likes this girl."
"You're angry that he referred to you as a girl?"
He just stared at me and gave me a "are you dumb or are you dumb" look.
"Oh. You mean he couldn't tell them that he likes you and lied to them?"
"Unfortunately yes. I told him about how we carried out our plan and he told me he likes me. But he doesn't seem to want to let others know."
"You told him about the plan?"
"Yeah I did. Is that the only part you picked out from what I said?"
"I was just asking. He doesn't want others to know? But he told me about it."
"He did? When?" I could see the surprise on Kurt's face.
"Some time ago. He told me he likes you and kind of asked me if I could let him have a shot of trying to get together with you. So I said to him that he has to fight for you."
"Why didn't you just tell him then that we aren't really together instead? He already decided to pursue me at that time so there wasn't really a reason for us to pretend anymore."
"I don't know. Just in case he backed out after that or something. And anyway it would give him a greater sense of urgency."
"Yeah I guess. Well, if he was willing to tell you about it, then why doesn't he want other people to know?"
"Beats me. Why did you tell him anyway?"
"I just thought that he wouldn't really be able to make a move on me if he thinks I'm with you."
"I see. Maybe he only decided to tell me back then because he was pressured by our plan but now that he knows the truth, he's starting to hold back again?"
"Maybe…" Kurt said dejectedly.
Sam seriously has to man up. What does Kurt see in him anyway? If I were really with Kurt, I would tell the whole world about it so people will know not to fucking try anything funny with him.
What am I saying? Fuck, I already told myself I shouldn't think of Kurt that way. Why do I even like a guy? Wait. Did I just say that I like Kurt? I know I admitted I think he's hot but liking him is like a whole other level. Great. So I'm gay now. Actually its bisexual since I still like girls. Ok not the point.
Ok thinking Kurt is hot was already gay but…somehow I'm only now just realizing the gayness of it all. I don't have a problem with gay dudes but actually being one is different. It's just…I don't know, it's weird. Anyway, Kurt doesn't even like me that way so there's no point thinking about it. Sam better do something to prove he's worthy of being Kurt's boyfriend soon. If not, I'm going to reconsider if I want Kurt to be with him.
