Kurt and Blaine were sprawled out on the bed. Blaine was jointing down facts about Shakespeare work from a text book. He was lying on his stomach at the foot of the bed with his legs in the air, his ankles crossed. Kurt was sitting with his back against the headboard, his legs crossed with his laptop on his lap researching the title of the project.

Blaine looked up from his notes, "Anything useful babe?" he asked.

Kurt sighed, "Don't call me baby," he said clicking on a new website and scrolling down the page, "and no not really."

Blaine nodded and then glanced back to the text book, "So I was thinking, maybe we could dress up as Shakespeare for the presentation?" he suggested.

Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Are you kidding?" he questioned "I wouldn't be caught dead in that stuff."

Blaine laughed, "You're adorable," he said smiling at Kurt fondly.

Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Really now?" he asked.

Blaine blushed and shrugged muttering something under his breath that sounded like, "Maybe."

Kurt laughed, "Yeah well you could be if you weren't so annoying," he admitted.

Blaine looked up at him with a smirk, "Thanks then I guess."
"You're welcome then I guess," Kurt smiled back scrolling through another website, he sighed, "Oh Blaine this is ridiculous!"

Blaine sat up, "Wanna swap for a bit?" he asked.

"And trust you with my laptop? I think not," Kurt scoffed.

"Hey what's that meant to mean?" Blaine asked frowning deeply.

"Oh, nothing," Kurt said clicking on another website link.

"You think I'm going to steal it or something?" Blaine asked his anger rising.

Kurt shrugged, "I don't know are you?" he asked.

Blaine let out an angry huff, "That's a bit stereotypical," he said, "which is rich coming from you!"

Kurt looked up at him, "I'm sorry okay?" he said, "I just find it hard to trust people like you."

"Like me? What do you mean 'Like me'?" asked his voice rising to a shout.

"I mean stupid guys who think there better who think there better than everyone else and think it's cool to act like immature pricks," Kurt muttered, his eyes dark.

Blaine's act dropped completely, no one ever talked to him like that! How dare he? He forgot the plan to get Kurt to like him, he forgot he was meant to be a bad ass, "You have no idea what I'm like, what I've been through," Blaine shouted moving towards Kurt and leaning over the laptop so he was right in Kurt's face, "You have no idea how hard I've worked!"

Kurt put the laptop to the side, "Worked?" he scoffed, "Towards what?"

"This!" Blaine exclaimed, "Not being beaten up every five minutes because of who I am! Not…"

"Wincing every time you go around the corner or when a locker door slams?" Kurt finished for him biting his bottom lip.

Blaine let out a long breath, "Exactly," he said sitting back a bit.

"I'm sorry, you're right," Kurt sighed, "I shouldn't have stereotyped you."

Blaine nodded, "You know what it's like," he said, "This was my only way out, and I took it. If I have to look like act like an idiot then so be it."

Kurt nodded in return, "I know how hard it is," he said tracing the scar along the base of his neck, "believe me I know, but you can't let them change who you are. Or it just shows they've won."

"It wasn't just that though," Blaine said, "I was so sick of people treating people who are gay like shit, I wanted to prove to them that we could be popular."

Kurt laughed, "and you certainly did that," he said.

Blaine bit his lip, "I've never told anyone this before," he admitted looking a bit worried, what the hell was he doing? Why was he telling Kurt all this stuff?

Kurt put his hand on top of Blaine's, "Don't worry I won't tell anyone," he said, Blaine looked up at him, "I promise Blaine, you can trust me."

Blaine smiled a small smile, "Thanks Kurt," he said actually finding himself trusting Kurt. Don't, you know trusting people only hurts more when they let you down, Blaine told himself but he couldn't help it. He trusted Kurt.

Kurt nodded, "How about we take a break from all this hard work?" he asked with a grin.

Blaine smile grew, "Sure why not?" he shrugged, "What do you have in mind?"

Kurt shrugged back, "Whatever you want…and you don't have to pretend around me you know."

Blaine nodded, "Well…wanna…I don't know…watch a movie?" he suggested.

Kurt looked over to the huge stack of neatly piled DVD's in the corner, "Sure look over there. Doubt they'll be any you like though. Sorry."

Blaine got to his feet anyway and searched through the DVD's tracing his finger over the titles, pausing every now and again, "Broadway show or Disney?" he asked.

Kurt shrugged, "I'm not bothered, I like both," he said sounding surprised at Blaine's choices.

Blaine laughed, "Yeah I guessed since you have them both on DVD" he said look up at Kurt with a raised eyebrow.

Kurt blushed, "Yeah obviously," he said avoiding Blaine's gaze.

Blaine laughed again, "You really are adorable you know," he said.

Kurt ginned, "Thanks," he said blushing deeper, "I am meant to take that as a complement right?"

"Oh yes, Definitely a complement," Blaine smiled as he grabbed 'Beauty and the beast' and stuffed it in the player in a way that made Kurt wince and then he joined Kurt back on the bed just as the opening credits started to roll.

"You know I really didn't expect you to be a Disney fan," Kurt commented as Blaine shuffled closer to him. A little too close for just friends… (If that's what they were) in Kurt's opinion but he somehow found himself not really caring. He was secretly delighted that Blaine had opened up to him in this way…and was it him or was Blaine looking a lot more attractive now Kurt knew that he wasn't just a hard outer shell? And that's saying something because Blaine was mighty hot before. Kurt blushed realising he'd been staring and looked away to the TV screen.

"There's always a happy ending," Blaine shrugged blushing slightly at his answer.

Kurt nodded in agreement, but he wanted to get something straight between them, "So are we…friends?" he asked hesitantly.

Blaine bit his lip, "I don't usually have friends, just followers," he admitted, damn it! Stop telling him all this stuff! What's wrong with me?

"But wouldn't it be good to have someone you can be yourself around?" Kurt asked grabbing Blaine's hand and squeezing it.

Blaine sighed, "I don't even remember what I'm really like…I'm lost." Why am I telling him this….and why does it feel so good?

Kurt let out a long sad breath, "Just act yourself," he said, "Find yourself again, say what you want too not what other people expect you to say," he said rubbing circles on the back of Blaine's palm with his thumb.

Blaine was distracted momentarily by the motion, was it normal for that to feel so good, so right? "What I want to say is…" he paused, and shifted so he was looking directly into Kurt's eyes, don't do it, it's just an act, don't trust him! Don't do it! "What I want to say is that I've never felt this way about anyone the way I feel about you Kurt. I feel like I can trust you, I can totally be myself around you…I feel safe," Blaine said blushing furiously. Great! Now I've done it, now it sounds like I'm in love with him or something which I'm totally not…am I?

Kurt smiled, "Good," he said, "I want you to trust me."

Blaine bit his lip, "Friends then yeah?" he asked.

Kurt smiled, "Friends," he agreed.

Blaine smiled back, wow he'd just succeeded in his plan to make friends with Kurt and he just had to be himself, which felt amazing. Kurt actually liked him for who he was, not for who he pretended to be…that's….that's weird, and good and bad. Oh God Blaine you're getting to attached, stop it now. Because when you get him into bed and he realises this is all just a plan for it he's not going to want to be your friend...unless he just stayed friends and forgot the plan? No. Blaine Anderson had gotten every guy he tired so far into bed, and he wasn't going to stop now. But being friend with Kurt even in the short run was really going to damage his reputation; I mean everyone in school thought he was a loser. Blaine couldn't have that, "But…maybe only outside of school?" he asked feeling horrible at the expression of hurt on Kurt's face.

Kurt frowned and his eyes turned sad, "Why?" he asked.

"It's not like I'm ashamed or anything," Blaine lied, "I just…I've worked really hard towards this, being popular, I don't want to lose it all."

"But I don't you want to be yourself again?" Kurt asked frowning deeper.

"I do…eventually," Blaine said, "But I need to find myself again first."

Kurt sighed, "Fine," he said throwing his arms up in surrender.

Blaine grinned, his plan was going perfectly! "Thank you, thank you so much Kurt!" he exclaimed wrapping his arms around Kurt's thin waist in a bone crushing hug.

Kurt laughed, "What are friends for huh?" he asked patting Blaine's back slightly awkwardly, "So are we going to watch this or not?" he asked gesturing towards the TV.

"Yeah sure," Blaine said blushing as he unwrapped his arms, "Sorry." What the hell was that? Blaine asked himself.

Kurt chuckled, "Don't worry about it," he said as the two rearranged themselves next to each other at the head of the bed.

Their hands somehow becoming joined halfway through the movie….
