Chapter 16: Silly Love Songs

Love doesn't come in a minute,

Sometimes it doesn't come at all

I only know that when I'm in it

Love isn't silly, no it isn't silly, it isn't silly at all-

Blaine and Kurt's voices were booming as they cheerily sang "Silly Love Songs" on the videoke machine. It brought back memories of the year they first met.

"Zachary!" Blaine greeted as Zach came downstairs, looking sharp in his White Long-sleeved Polo top and Dark Blue Jeans. "Lookin' good," Blaine smiled, "So the dinner with Beth tonight is on?"

"It's not a dinner with Beth," Zach said, "It's a double date with her and Arnold, and then of course, Sophie…"

"Easy," Kurt said, raising an eyebrow, "Why doesn't Beth come over anymore, anyway? I miss that kid."

"She's busy."

"Zachary, she's your friend. Besides, you've never been your usual self since your spur of the moment "Staying in Lima" thing."

"Dad," Zach said, "Not now. Please."

"Do you even love Sophie?"

"Kurt," Blaine said.

"I'm with her, okay?" Zach said, "And even if you don't like Jesse St. James and he has bad history with you guys and all, it doesn't matter."

"Well, it really doesn't," Kurt said, "I'm only worried about you. And Bethie."

"She's fine," Zach said, "We're fine." He took a deep breath, "I've to go. Sophie's waiting for me."

Kurt sighed, "Well, do what you have to do. Happy Valentine's."

"Happy Valentine's." Zach shot back silently.
