I thought I shoud just give some background info:

Everything that happened in Season 1 happened the same way, but it was Kurt's freshmen year. The beginning of Season 2 is similar, but Seth is the character that transfers and Kurt thinks is gay since Sam is actually in Dalton at that point. So basically Seth = Original Sam. And there was no Blaine during Kurt's sophmore year. Blaine and Kurt are both Juniors now.

Thank you for reviewing! I'm excited because this is the longest chapter yet and there are no real songs in it. Yay!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Kurt arrived back at Dalton with Wes and David, the three making it just in time for dinner. The three laughed and joked, taking their normal seats at the Warblers table. Kurt took at his phone and saw that he had received a new text message from Blaine.

Would you like to grab coffee at the Lima Bean tomorrow after school?

Kurt chuckled at Blaine's formal text message, but he was beaming internally. He liked Blaine, he made him happy. And Kurt decided that he deserved some happiness.

I would love to. – K xx

He smiled as he got a near instant reply.

I can't wait. –B

Blaine was slightly freaking out. He had sent that text nearly two hours ago and still no response. They were probably wrong and he doesn't like me. He is probably freaking out, trying to find a way to let me down easy.

Blaine sighed in frustration and flopped onto his bead. Then he heard a familiar tone, signaling he had got a message.

I would love to. – K xx

Blaine quickly replied, but then reopened Kurt's text. He couldn't help but obsess over the two x's. What did they mean?

Kurt's day seemed to be going slower than ever. He had a pop quiz in AP US History and had to give an oral presentation in French. French wasn't too bad since he was practically fluent, but he just couldn't wait for his coffee date with Blaine.

He headed off to Warblers practice when he felt a hand fall onto his shoulder. He turned around and saw Cameron standing there. Cameron was slightly taller than Kurt, with short brown hair and chocolate eyes.

"Hi, Kurt," he said bashfully.

Kurt tried to smile but it came as sort of a grimace.

"Hello, Cameron."

"So, I was wondering, if, maybe after Warblers practice you would maybe like to go-"

"I'm sorry Cameron, but I have a date."

Kurt watched as the boy face fell, a flicker of jealousy in his eyes.

"Oh."

They stood there awkwardly for a minute, before Kurt adjusted his bag and walked into the meeting room. He smiled at his fellow Warblers before taking his seat on the small blue couch in the far left of the room.

The rest of the room watched Cameron walk in with his usual defeated look. But it was slightly different. There was also bitterness in his eyes, for not only was he turned down but Kurt had said yes to someone else.

David and Wes sent a questioningly look to Kurt who simply shook his head.

"Attention Warblers, there is something we would like to show you."

Kurt looked up at Wes questioningly. What is he up to?

"You see," David remarked, "Wes and I recently took a trip down to Lima, the home of our very own countertenor. And while we were there, we met our competition, McKinley's New Directions."

Kurt was getting scared now; he had no idea what they were hinting at.

"And they were nice enough to send us videos of Kurt's previous performances. We feel it would be very beneficial to our club to watch some of them."

Kurt's eyes widened.

"Oh, no I don't think that is necessary!"

But Wes and David just turned on the projector and the clips began to run.

Kurt stared horrified at the screen as Give up the Funk began to play. Not 5 seconds in and the whole room was stunned into silence. He watched with a small bit of amusement all of the boys doing double takes as the video progressed.

Kurt couldn't help but study the old him from the video. He still had those red skinny jeans and they still looked fabulous.

He smiled as he watched him and his friends dance rather ridiculously. He had so much fun doing that number. Videos like these made his chest ache to be back at McKinley. But he knew he was no longer safe there.

As the video screen went black all of the Warblers turned to him.

"Kurt was that you singing the beginning?"

"Yes, Nick, that was me."

"No way. Prove it."

Kurt looked at Jeff, "Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mother, sucker. Tear the roof off the sucker."

The Warblers stared at his mouth in awe, but before any other comments could be made the video started up again.

"Oh my God, Kurt!"

"Is that Mellencamp?"

Kurt cringed at what he was wearing in the video. It was from when he pretended to be straight and he was singing Pink Houses. The clip was barely a minute and a half but when it ended Kurt could feel the eyes on him. He looked intently at his hands in his lap not giving in.

"Kurt…" Wes trailed off in a pitying tone. That pity is what made Kurt finally speak.

"Just because I am out and proud now does not mean I had an easy time actually coming to terms with my sexuality. You guys have seen my dad. Imagine how I must have felt, he's such a man's man, you know. But that week was especially hard because my father was dating a woman named Carole and my father was spending a lot of time with her son Finn. I was jealous and at that time I thought the best option was to act straight. I even went out with a girl."

Wes looked at his friend sitting before him. The Kurt Hummel he knew exuded confidence and was so comfortable in his own skin. He couldn't imagine a Kurt that would ever think about trying to hide himself.

"There's one more. But Santana promised more. She mentioned something about getting some videos of Cheerios, why she w breakfast cereal is beyond me, but here it is."

Kurt held a baited breath. She better not send them 4 minutes…

Kurt watched as he appeared on the video with a black and white outfit and let a sigh of relief. The notes to Le Jazz Hot began playing. Kurt remembered duets week. It was hard for him to be alone that week, for it seemed he would always be alone. And it hurt watching Seth and Quinn sing together without any trouble from the glee club. Kurt had wanted that so badly, to sing a duet with another boy and not be frowned at for it.

Kurt was then reminded of a certain curly haired teen that he would be meeting for coffee as soon as he got out of this meeting. Blaine's hazel eyes and strong arms filled Kurt's mind.

He was just so perfect. He had a beautiful smile and an amazing voice. I would love to sing a duet with him. Something slow, so we can dance again. Gaga, when he was holding me in his arms…

Kurt was snapped out of his daydreams when the performance ended.

"So, Kurt, your self-centered you felt the only person good enough to sing with you was yourself?"

Kurt felt a pang of hurt at Cameron's words. Kurt knew that he was just upset about getting rejected, but that week was still lonely for Kurt. Kurt saw David and Wes turn red, but he gave them a 'cease and desist' look.

"No, Cameron," Kurt answered in a calm tone, "I had a duet partner, his name was Seth, but I decided to end that partnership later in the week."

"Oh, so you just decided to drop him. He wasn't good enough for the great Kurt Hummel?

Kurt felt his eyes sting. He had cried too many tears over worthless people and he was not going to let himself cry over someone as pitiful as Cameron. So Kurt took a deep breath and collected his things. He walked slowly to the door and then turned around.

"Actually, Cameron, I was told by a fellow glee club member, who is now my step brother that I couldn't sing with him. They didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about the new kid and start beating him up for being a fag. Not that they cared when it happened to me."

A few Warblers gasped at Kurt's language but Kurt didn't care. He opened one of the giant doors and left rehearsal. He would not let himself be subjected to jealous cowards.

Kurt let himself loose himself in thoughts of Blaine as he drove towards the Lima Bean.

Blaine entered the Lima Bean tentatively. He was nervous. He always seemed to be nervous when Kurt was involved. What if he doesn't show up? Did he just accept to come here for a pity date? Does he even like me?

Blaine had no more time for his thoughts as he spotted Kurt sitting at a small table by the window. Kurt was clutching a coffee cup in his hand and reading a magazine, so Blaine decided to go up to the counter to order his medium drip. As he waited, he watched Kurt.

He is so gorgeous. His eyes are blue today, like the ocean. That uniform is actually really sexy on him. And his skin looks like it's made out of porcelain. I wonder what it would feel like…

"Medium drip?"

"Thank you."

Blaine grabbed his coffee and walked over to the table Kurt was sitting at. Blaine recognized the article Kurt was currently reading.

"Vogue?"

Kurt looked up, smiling at Blaine.

"Hello, Blaine. And yes."

Blaine sat in the seat across from Kurt.

"I didn't like this issue as much as the last one."

Kurt raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"You read Vogue?"

Blaine smiled widely.

"Of course. But I also like other things, like music and football."

"Oh are you on the team?"

"Yeah, running back."

Kurt snorted at this. From the little he knew about football, the running back had to be fast and Blaine Anderson didn't look fast. He was well built sure, but he was Hobbit sized.

"Don't laugh Kurt Warbler! I am actually very fast, even though I have short legs."

Kurt looked Blaine up and down, causing the other boy to blush. Kurt couldn't help but imagine Blaine in the McKinley football uniform.

He would look so hot in those tight pants…

"I understand. Looks can be deceiving. I used to be on the football team at McKinley."

Blaine's eyes widened.

"Don't look so surprised Anderson. I am a man of many talents. I even got the entire team to perform single ladies during the middle of the game. And I scored the winning point. Might I also add that it was the only game we won that year?"

Blaine looked at the boy in front of him in awe. He was sweet, intelligent, and so talented. Who would ever do something to this boy that caused him to transfer schools? Blaine felt himself fall for the boy a little more.

"Finn, Puck, Mike, Sam, and Artie performed to Single Ladies?"

"Well actually it was back in my freshman year. Sam was still at Dalton and Artie hadn't joined the team yet. But Finn, Puck, and Mike did. I quit the team after the game, but it did give me enough confidence to come out to my dad."

"How did he take it?"

"He told me that he knew since I was three and asked for a sensible pair of heals for my birthday."

Kurt didn't understand the emotion flashing in Blaine's eyes.

"You are something Kurt Warbler. Any other stories of the glee club?"

Normal, happy Blaine was back, but Kurt was still worried.

"They really told you nothing huh? Well New Directions is definitely filled with drama. But it's going to take a while to get you all caught up."

"Well I know about the pregnancy, April Rhodes, and many other stories about the current members of New Directions but I have not heard a single story about the infamous Kurt Hummel."

Blaine watched pain flash in Kurt's blue eyes, but it was gone as fast as it had come.

"Well you know how Finn's my step brother?"

Blaine nodded his head.

"I had the biggest crush on him in freshman year."

Blaine couldn't help but laugh. It was just odd to imagine. Finn was popular, sure, but not exactly the brightest crayon in the box.

"Yeah. It was pretty bad. But now that I think about it I think I just liked him because he was the nicest of my bullies. He would let me take off my more expensive accessories before he, Puck, and the other jocks tossed me into dumpsters."

Blaine looked at Kurt incredulously. When Kurt had visited, he had seemed really close to Puck and Finn. Why would they throw him into dumpsters? Finn's his brother!

"Blaine, it was before they joined the New Directions. The big happy family that exists today did not exsist early freshmen year. The original glee club consisted of Cedes, Tina, Artie, Rachel, and myself. Finn, Mike, and Puck used to be the one's throwing the slushies, not getting them. We've been through a lot together, but we weren't always friends. Finn's my brother now, and it's nice. Sometimes it makes me question what I ever saw in him, but it's nice having a brother. I've grown to love the Frankenteen, and I know he's got my back. Glee club helped me survive in that school. We have come a long way."

Kurt paused a moment in thought.

"Oh, there was the first Diva Off. Mr. Shu had just given Rachel the solo in Defying Gravity, a song I have always wanted to sing and I didn't take it too well. Well Rachel and I were told that we would both sing the song and whoever the glee club voted for would win. I threw the high note, but it was the principle of the thing. And thus Diva Off's were born. I mentioned this when I visited yesterday; well I kind of blew up at Rachel. I know Finn will give me shit for that this weekend."

Blaine was once again blown away by Kurt. He not only forgave the kids who probably made his life hell but is now good friends with them.

"Did they tell you about when Mercedes and I were Cheerios?"

Blaine nearly choked on his coffee.

"You were a Cheerio?"

Kurt smirked, "Man of many talents, Blaine. Yes after sectionals, Cedes and I joined the Cheerios. We sang 4 minutes at a school assembly once. It was a lot of fun. But what about you? Where did you go before McKinley?"

Blaine stiffened.

"I went to Brookhaven in Columbus. I got bullied for a while, but I wasn't officially out. When I came out to my father at the end of last year, he didn't take it well."

Kurt wanted to just hold Blaine; the boy looked so sad and angry.

"He gave me thirty minutes to pack and get out of his house. So I called my grandmother and I moved here to live with her where I was registered in McKinley."

Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand in his own.

"Oh, Blaine, I'm so sorry."

Blaine gave Kurt a small smile.

"It's okay Kurt. In Columbus I had no friends. Here I have the New Directions, who accept me for who I am."

Kurt rubbed circles on the back of Blaine's hands.

"You have me too," Kurt added with a small smile.

"Thank you."

There was a comfortable silence, the two simply enjoying each other's company. All too soon Kurt's phone began to buzz. He checked it to see that there were several worried texts from his fellow Warblers. Kurt sighed and stood up.

"The birds are calling me back to the nest, so I must fly off."

Blaine was a bit disappointed; he wanted to spend more time with Kurt. Come on Blaine, you can do this.

"Wait! Uh, Kurt I was wondering… if you would maybe… like to go out with me… Friday night."

Kurt smiled fondly at the nervous boy in front of him. He is adorable.

"Blaine Anderson, are you asking me on a date?"

Kurt held back laughter at Blaine's 'deer in the headlights' look. Kurt walked back towards Blaine who was now standing awkwardly by his chair. Kurt slowly lifted Blaine's head with his hand so that Blaine was looking at him. Kurt gently placed his lips on Blaine's cheek and then whispered in his ear.

"Call me with the details."

Blaine watched Kurt walk out of the coffee shop. He reverently touched a hand to his cheek. Kurt Hummel kissed me. Okay on the cheek, but still. Blaine decided that he would get a real kiss that Friday.

"See you in three days, Kurt Warbler."

Next Chapter: Blaine and Kurt's date! Plus a bit of teasing from both the Warblers and the girls of New Directions.
