Kurt wasn't sure why his heart leapt at that word, at that thought of him and Blaine being…together. He had just broken up with Danny, a boyfriend right now was the absolute last thing he needed.

"Don't worry about it." He said after a long moment "just politely correct them, and everything'll be okay" he smiled tightly. Blaine nodded and calmed down. This wasn't a big deal, he told himself. So they went back to the party and sat down. Kurt conversed with a few of Blaine's family members, only having to correct someone once, making them both blush. Once they ate and sang happy birthday to Blaine's grandma they headed out to leave.

"It was nice seeing you, Blaine, and it was nice to meet you, Kurt." Donna said and hugged them both tightly. "Drive home safely" she called as they walked out of the fence. Blaine climbed into the driver's side and Kurt into the passenger's. They began to drive and sing along to the radio again, smiling and laughing along with each other.

"That was really fun, Blaine." Kurt said suddenly, looking over at Blaine

"Really?" Blaine asked, "I thought it'd be kinda weird." Kurt shrugged "your family is so nice, and your mom is so sweet, she reminds me of my mom." He smiled

"What's your mom like?" Blaine asked, realizing they'd never talked about her before

"she died when I was six." Kurt said softly Blaine quickly looked over at him in shock. "But she was amazing. She was so pretty, I got my eyes from her. She was so…accepting, even when I was little I think she could tell I'd be…different." He smiled "then she got cancer, she tried to act normal…but she got sicker and sicker." Kurt shrugged

"Kurt…I, why didn't you tell me?"

"It never came up." Kurt shrugged "really, it's okay, I've got my dad and now I've got Carole and Finn." He smiled and Blaine grinned softly back,

"My mom really liked you"

"I'm glad." Kurt said

oOo

They pulled up to the boarding house at around 5 o clock. Kurt climbed out of Blaine's car and instantly headed towards his own.

"Where are you going?" Blaine called

"Just going to check out some stores"

"Want some company?" Kurt laughed

"Nah, it's alright, I know you hate shopping." He said and opened the driver's side door.

oOo

"You took Kurt to your grandma's birthday party?" Wes asked, hopping over the back of the couch and flopping down next to Blaine, who glared at him

"How do you know that?"

"David overheard." He shrugged "did you finally ask him out?"

"no." Blaine said lamely "you have no idea how bad I want to."

"Dude, just do it, what's the harm?"

"The harm is he just got cheated on by someone he loved, I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted nothing to do with a boyfriend right now." Wes shrugged

"You never know." And with that he left Blaine sitting on the couch.

Blaine sat there, thinking about all the times he and Kurt had just sat up late talking to each other. How he seemed so easy to talk to. They liked almost all the same things, sure, Blaine was a little most into sports and Kurt was into fashion, but that didn't bother them. Blaine smiled as he thought of Kurt's dimples when he smiled, and the sparkle in his pale blue eyes. He kept thinking happily to himself until he slipped into unconsciousness, only to dream of those eyes.

oOo

Kurt willed himself to look at clothing until he got his mind off of Blaine. He tried them on and made up outfits in his head…and began thinking about how they'd look on Blaine.

"Shit." He whispered to himself

'I can't do this to myself.' He thought firmly 'I know Blaine's different…he's would never hurt me like that, but I don't know that for sure…hell, I don't even know if he likes me!' Kurt shook his head. And continued looking through the racks.

oOo

Kurt looked at the clock on his phone and cursed, it was almost 10:00. He made his way to the front of the store and wrapped his scarf tighter around his neck. The place was deserted, and he suddenly regretted parking his car so far away. He had felt like walking a bit when he first got there, so he'd parked his car a good ten minute walk away. He pulled out his phone, and didn't think about what he was doing before he did it. He scrolled through his contacts until he found Blaine's number.

oOo

Blaine felt his something vibrating in his pocket and jolted awake, instantly grabbing for his phone, he pulled it out and hit the answer button

"Hello?" he asked, his voice thick with sleep.

"Blaine? Did I wake you?" Kurt asked

"Yeah, no worries, whats wrong?" he asked

"Nothing," Kurt laughed nervously "I'm being stupid, I just parked kind of far away and it's dark and…I don't exactly feel safe" Blaine sat up and rubbed his eyes

"That's not stupid, I'm glad you called. Just stay on the phone with me until you're at your car." He said

"Thanks" Kurt said. Blaine and Kurt talked about where Kurt had gone, and if he had found anything. That went on for about a minute before Blaine heard something, and apparently Kurt did too. Kurt gasped

"What was that?" Blaine asked, instantly worried. "What's happening." But the voice on the other end of the phone wasn't Kurt's anymore. It was slurred, and deep and all too familiar

"Hi, is this kurts new boyfran?" he asked "well fuck you." Kurt yelped in the background and Blaine ended the call and jumped to his feet in an instant, running towards the door.

oOo

"Danny, get away!" Kurt said, shoving Danny away. But Danny took Kurt by the shoulders and pushed him against a tree. He planted a sloppy kiss right on Kurt's mouth. Kurt managed to turn his head away, but Danny just continued kissing down his neck. Kurt whimpered and tried to push him away again, but he was stronger. "Danny!" Kurt cried "you're drunk! Get away from me!" he shrieked, but Danny simply covered his mouth.

Kurt thanked whatever higher power was looking over him at that moment as a pair of bright lights came speeding around the corner. The car screeched to a stop and a man stepped out. As he came closer Kurt recognized him.

"Blaine!" he tried to shout around Danny's hand, but it just came out muffled. Blaine seemed to understand straight away, and grabbed Danny by the hood of his sweat jacket, ripping him away from Kurt. Danny glared at Blaine as Kurt slid down the trunk of the tree

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Blaine growled, pushing Danny away.

(AUTHORS NOTE: dayum, heavy, heavy stuff at the end, mostly because I couldn't exactly figure out how to bring Blaine and Kurt together, and as much as it would seem that something like this would put Kurt off guys…forever, just wait and see!

Ps. Poor Kurt, you guys! I don't know why I have to make him so sad, but that just gives Blaine a chance to fix it! Leave me a review! *heart*)
