Alright, a good chunk of this is just me making stuff up (because Kurt and Blaine only had a few lines in this episode), so hold on to your hats! ;)
(I do not own Glee or any of the characters, dialogue, or songs from the show. It's all just for fun!)
BLAINE
"Hello!" Rachel, ready said brightly as she fell gracefully into her chair and examined her face in the mirror.
"Good afternoon," Blaine greeted her.
So much had changed in the twenty-four hours since they had last occupied these chairs, Blaine thought as he tried to act like everything was still just the same. Begrudgingly, Blaine admitted to himself that Artie had been at least partially right. Blaine felt so alive and so confident that he wanted to jump on top of the piano and tell everyone about what he and Kurt had done the night before. He thought briefly about what Kurt would say...
"What's going on?" Rachel asked. When Blaine looked up at her in the mirror she was looking at him like he might be a little bit crazy.
"What?" Blaine asked.
"What're you smiling about?" Rachel rephrased. She looked as relaxed as Blaine felt. He shrugged.
"Thinking about Kurt," he admitted.
Rachel chewed her lip briefly in contemplation before grabbing her chair and scooting over so she was right beside Blaine. She looked around briefly before leaning in close to his ear.
"Finn and I had sex last night!" she squeaked.
Blaine turned his head to look at her so quickly that they knocked heads.
"Ow!" Rachel gasped, and as they both reached up to rub their heads Blaine started laughing and couldn't stop.
"What is wrong with you?" Rachel hissed, smacking his arm. Blaine could barely breathe, so he just shook his head.
"Hey!" Kurt's amused voice suddenly joined the conversation, "Hands off my boyfriend."
Blaine and Rachel looked up as Kurt walked over and took a seat on Blaine's lap. When Blaine raised an eyebrow at him, Kurt stood up and settled back down, this time straddling his legs so they were facing each other. Blaine tried to get control of his laughter as Kurt grabbed both collars of Blaine's jacket and pulled him into a kiss.
They kissed slowly for a moment, and Rachel was so silent that Blaine briefly forgot she was there.
"Wait," Rachel said suddenly. "Wait, oh god. Did you– we–"
Kurt turned to look at Rachel, and Blaine saw the realization dawn on Kurt as he looked at his friend.
"Oh my god," he moaned. "We are literally the same person."
Rachel tried to repress a laugh, but it escaped from her lips as a weird little burp and Blaine lost it completely. He wrapped his arms around Kurt's back and buried his face in Kurt's chest to muffle his laughter.
"Excuse me!" Artie's frantic voice came from behind Blaine, "Get your makeup-covered face off my police uniform!"
Blaine obeyed, choosing instead to pick Kurt up and stand up, depositing the other boy on the edge of the small table. Kurt wrapped his legs around Blaine's lower half to hold him close for another long kiss. Blaine didn't object; they never did this in public, ever, but he felt completely invincible.
Artie watched them carefully. "Huh," he said after a moment, and he rolled away without another word.
"So..." Rachel began.
"No," Kurt broke the kiss to wave a hand at her. "You don't deserve the details."
Blaine vaguely remembered that Kurt and Rachel were in a bitter dispute over the senior class presidential elections, but he didn't really care.
"Blaine," Artie's voice returned, "I'm happy for this sexual awakening you seem to be having, but we really don't want Tony to look like he's been making out with someone in a back alley at the start of the show, okay?"
"Mmmmm," Blaine hummed in protest as he kissed Kurt one more time before Kurt relaxed his legs and allowed Blaine to take a step back. He had never seen Kurt look so casual and confident before, and it made him feel insane.
"Kurt?" Quinn's voice suddenly called from somewhere out of sight. "Kurt?"
"Yeah?" Kurt shouted back.
"I ripped the seam of my dress!" Quinn called back, "Help?"
Kurt sighed and shook his head in amusement. "Duty calls," he said, hopping down off the table and kissing Blaine once more before hurrying off to help Quinn with her wardrobe crisis.
Blaine returned to his seat and scooted back up to the desk to finish his makeup, and Rachel glanced at him with a delighted smile on her face.
"Tonight's show is going to be so much better than last night," she said.
KURT
After the show, Kurt and Blaine slipped away as quickly as they could. They had considered staying and hanging out with their friends, but had ultimately decided that there would be plenty of socializing the following night at the party Artie was throwing to celebrate the end of the show.
By the time they made it to Blaine's bedroom and slammed the door, their shoes, socks, and shirts were already gone. After their first time the night before, all of the awkward uncertainty had melted away and left only adrenaline and confidence in its place.
"We should switch this time," Kurt said as they stumbled onto the bed. "I mean, if you want to."
"Sure," Blaine said breathlessly.
Kurt squirmed his way up to the pillows as Blaine reached out and grabbed a condom and threw it in Kurt's direction before reaching for the little bottle on the nightstand. But he misjudged the distance, and instead he sent the little bottle flying off the table and onto the floor.
"Ugh," Blaine moaned unhappily. He climbed off the bed and disappeared for a moment as he searched for the bottle on the floor.
"I can't believe we're doing this," Kurt giggled. "I feel like James Bond... sneaking off for a salacious rendezvous with my lover when I should be socializing."
Blaine reappeared and hopped back onto the bed, and Kurt's amusement turned quickly to something else as he absorbed the desire on Blaine's face.
"I –" he started, but it turned into a squeak of surprise as Blaine grabbed the front of the waistband of his pants and tugged him forward until Kurt sat up.
"Shhhhhh," Blaine said as Kurt opened his mouth again. He placed a gentle finger over Kurt's lips for a moment.
"But –" Kurt didn't really want to argue, so he had no idea what he planned to say, but Blaine's lips crashing into his made it impossible to speak anyway. Instead, Kurt reached out and pulled Blaine toward him.
Blaine didn't quite have time to catch himself, so he fell awkwardly into Kurt and Kurt allowed them to fall all the way over onto the bed. Before he could think or move, Blaine's hands were at the fastening of his pants again.
"Okay?" Blaine asked, out of breath with a huge, dopey smile on his face. For a second Kurt considered telling him no just to watch his reaction, but instead he nodded.
"Hurry up," he teased. "We've got to leave time for some sleep if we want to have a decent closing show tomorrow."
BLAINE
"... so thank you all so, so much," Artie said. "To the best musical McKinley High has ever done!"
Everyone clinked their glasses together, and even the staff of Breadstix stopped to applaud. Rachel, who was sitting beside Blaine, leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you," she said.
Blaine tried to ignore the way that Kurt, sitting across from him, and Finn, sitting across from Rachel, were rolling their eyes. "You too," he replied sincerely.
The musical really had been something special for Blaine. All the rehearsals, the late nights spent singing and dancing around his room with Kurt, the hilarity of trying to learn to do his own makeup after school with Rachel and Quinn, the actual weekend of performances. He felt like he belonged in this group. And Rachel, especially, had become a friend.
Finn was a different story. He hadn't been involved in the musical because he was spending more and more time working at the tire shop, and it was part of the reason Blaine had enjoyed the musical so much. Finn wouldn't stop giving him a hard time. About coming from Dalton. About being a new kid. About everything. It was all incredibly confusing for Blaine because when they were in a casual setting Finn was usually pretty neutral toward him.
"Yeah," Finn said, "you guys were great."
He could even be kind of nice. Blaine didn't know what to make of his attitude.
"To the best Tony," Kurt raised his glass in Blaine's direction, "...and Maria that ever graced the stage."
"I'll toast to that!" Rachel said primly as the four of them clinked their glasses together in the center of the table.
Blaine tried not to smile too broadly at Kurt and Rachel's tension. He was unhappy with Rachel's decision to run against Kurt in the senior class presidential election, but he had a feeling that they would find a way to be friends again eventually.
They chatted and ate and had a great time, and Blaine felt a little sad as he and Kurt strolled out the door into the cool evening air.
"That was nice," Kurt commented as they walked into the parking lot.
"Yeah," Blaine said, turning his head to look at the other boy. "Thanks."
"Thanks?" Kurt turned to meet his gaze.
"I know it wasn't easy for you," Blaine said quietly. "Watching me play the role you wanted so badly."
Kurt shrugged. "Watching you play Tony was amazing," he clarified. "But thanks for saying that."
They reached Blaine's car first, and Blaine sighed heavily. They had to return to their respective homes tonight. Blaine's parents would be home a little after midnight, and they had school the following day.
"Next time," Kurt said lightly, "we're doing it at my house."
Blaine laughed. "Deal," he agreed.
Kurt glanced around before risking a quick peck on Blaine's lips. "Congratulations, Blaine," he smiled as he straightened up.
"See you tomorrow," Blaine pouted.
Kurt laughed. "Bye."
KURT
It was strange and also completely normal to be back at school the next day. As Kurt walked down the familiar hallways, he thought about how weird it was that he had experienced a huge, life-changing thing over the weekend and nobody knew. The students in his classes didn't know. His teachers didn't know. Most of the students in glee didn't know, which he found especially amusing as they watched Puck, Blaine, Mike, and Finn perform Hot For Teacher after school.
The best thing of all, Kurt thought, was that nothing was different with Blaine. When Kurt had finally returned home and spent the first night in what felt like an eternity in his own bed, Kurt had let himself worry. He had worried that somehow his emotional relationship with Blaine would change now that their physical relationship had changed. He had spent the night tossing and turning over nightmares about Blaine suddenly losing all interest because there was nothing left to wait around for.
As soon as Kurt had seen Blaine the next morning, though, he had known it was all in his mind. By lunchtime a few days later, Kurt had forgotten that he ever worried at all.
"I'm just saying," he said to their lunch group. "what gives Sue the right to lie about my father that way?"
"She's Sue," Mike said. "She doesn't care."
"Clearly," Kurt huffed. "I tried to talk to her and she just got all 'it's not personal'. Well you know what? Yes it is."
"I'm proud of you," Blaine said, rubbing his back briefly. "For not sinking to her level."
Kurt sighed. "I can't wait 'til my dad beats her," he said.
"I can't wait until we crush the Troubletones at the mash off," Artie said. "I'm sick of them acting like they're so much cooler than us."
"I'll second that," Tina said.
"Hey," Mike said to Kurt and Blaine as the others continued to talk about the best strategies for beating the Troubletones, "Tina and I were wondering... we're heading to the mall after school and we thought maybe you guys might want to come along?"
Kurt glanced at Blaine for confirmation. "Yeah, sure!" he said when Blaine nodded his approval.
"Our first real double date," Kurt sighed happily as Mike returned to the discussion about the Troubletones.
Blaine laughed. "What about all those times we went out with Rachel and Finn?"
Kurt pretended to be annoyed. "Finn's my brother, Blaine," he scolded. "That's not the same."
"Ohh," Blaine teased in return. "I see. Well, then, I'll pick you up by your car after school, sir."
BLAINE
"This is the best thing I've ever eaten," Mike announced as he, Tina, Blaine, and Kurt sat at a table in the mall's food court eating soft pretzels.
"I agree," Blaine said seriously. "Kurt and I get these every time we come here."
"We've gotta beat the Troubletones at this competition," Tina sighed. "Or we'll never hear the end of it."
"I'm more worried about Sectionals," Kurt argued. "How are we going to find enough members to compete at all?"
"Got any blackmail material on any of the Warblers?" Mike teased Blaine. They all laughed.
"We'll figure something out," Blaine said, trying to sound more confident than he felt.
"Here's the perfect scenario," Kurt said dreamily, "assuming that we end up with enough people. Tina gets a solo, Blaine and I sing a romantic duet, and we do a big group number at the end."
"Wait, I can't have a solo?" Mike pouted.
"No," Kurt said.
"What about me?" Blaine asked.
"No," Kurt said. "Romantic duet with yours truly or nothing at all."
"Okay," Blaine said happily. "I accept."
"This is fun," Tina commented, motioning at the four of them together at the table. "We need to do this more often."
BLAINE
"Well, how about this," Finn said in glee practice the next day as the group tried to pick a song to sing for their portion of the mash off. "People think Hall and Oats are famous for their cool puffy hair and that dude's bangin' 'stache. But also they're awesome for staying together over the long haul."
"Just like us," Rachel said. "Despite all their differences."
Blaine liked that idea. But he knew that voicing his support would probably only result in some kind of reprimand from Finn, so he stayed silent.
Finn moved in his direction anyway.
"I think we should give the solo to the new guy," Finn said. "Get him prepared for what's in store when the stakes get high."
As everyone turned to look at him, Blaine felt a surge of surprise and hope. Maybe Finn had just needed to get to know him better and this was his way of apologizing.
"Rory, I think you'll do a good job," Finn added, and Blaine remembered immediately that the newest member of New Directions was sitting directly behind him.
Embarrassment rushed into Blaine's mind, and he was glad that he hadn't said anything before Finn had been able to finish speaking. Of course Finn didn't mean him. He wasn't the new kid anymore.
But then Finn's eyes flickered briefly to Blaine's and Blaine realized Finn had done it on purpose. To get his hopes up.
Rage coursed through Blaine's veins. But, as always, he reminded himself that he was not going to sink to Finn's level. Finn wanted him to explode and make a fool of himself in front of everyone, and Blaine was definitely not interested in giving Finn anything that he wanted.
"Thanks, Finn, but I don't think I'm ready for that honor just yet," Rory replied, and Blaine channeled his rage and disappointment into his sincerest voice.
"C'mon," he disagreed as he twisted around to look at Rory. "You're totally ready, Rory. You'll kill it. We'll all help you."
Rory smiled at Blaine's confidence in him, and Blaine turned back to Finn. "It's a great idea, Finn," he said, locking eyes with the taller boy.
"Thanks," Finn replied.
As soon as glee was over, Blaine snatched his bag and left the room before Kurt could stop him and talk him into doing something nice. He didn't want to ignore it. He didn't want to talk about it. He wanted to rage.
After about ten minutes of pummeling one of the gym's punching bags, Blaine was feeling much better when Mike suddenly appeared in the doorway.
"Hey man," he said, "Kurt didn't want to come in here so he sent me... we're havin' a dodgeball showdown with the Troubletones in the gym in about fifteen minutes if you want to come."
Blaine stilled the bag and reached for his water bottle. "Sure," he nodded. "I'll just –" he motioned in the direction of his locker, and Mike gave him a thumbs-up before retreating to the hallway.
KURT
As Kurt tied his shoes before the dodgeball showdown, Rachel's voice was suddenly chattering away beside him.
"This could be deadly!" She said. "I mean facing our foes head on without any adult supervision..."
Kurt ignored her. She was his competition now, and he was still so hurt by her betrayal that he didn't want to speak to her.
"So, uh, you know that our NYADA applications are due next week," she reminded him. "I only need one more letter of recommendation... I wrote to Patti LuPone on her website but I haven't heard from her yet, so..."
Kurt knew that she was rambling in the hopes that he would reply, so he remained silent. He hated that he wanted to forgive her, and he hated that he missed her. He didn't need Rachel Berry.
"I– I really– I– I really miss you, Kurt," Rachel admitted unexpectedly. "And I just– I just– I really want to be your friend again."
"Well maybe you should've thought of that before you walked all over me in your borderline sociopathic climb to the top," Kurt said. He stood up and walked away, not trusting himself to speak to her more.
BLAINE
"Dude, are you wearing girl shorts?" Puck asked critically as he studied Blaine's gym uniform.
"Fashion has no gender, Puck," Blaine replied, and he saw the corners of Kurt's mouth turn up in approval further down the line.
Puck looked around. "I guess you're not the only dude in those shorts," he admitted. Blaine laughed as Puck gave up trying to understand and walked away.
Blaine hadn't played dodgeball in years, and he had a great time playing against the Troubletones. It also helped quite a bit with his frustration over Finn, and by the end he was once again feeling like things were under control in his life.
KURT
Kurt wasn't a huge fan of dodgeball... it was more aggressive than he preferred. But he played with the rest of his friends, and was secretly glad when it was over.
But as he turned to walk away, he heard the rapid thudding of balls hitting a soft target and turned to see the girls of the Troubletones pelting Rory with as many of the dodgeballs as they could find.
"Stop it!" Kurt shouted as he ran over to stop the attack. "Stop it! For God's sakes, he's bleeding! Maybe that's how the others treat us around here, but we don't do this to each other. We're better than this."
"God, calm down grandma," Santana said.
"This game's over," Kurt said, helping Rory up and leading him away from the girls.
"Thanks, Kurt," Rory said. "Those girls are kinda scary."
"Are you okay?" Kurt asked, turning Rory to face him so he could see if the other boy's nose was still bleeding.
"Oh my gosh, Rory," Blaine suddenly appeared beside them. "What happened?"
"They happened," Kurt said angrily, waving a hand in the direction of the Troubletones girls as they walked out of the gymnasium.
"I'm okay," Rory said. "It sucks that those girls aren't nicer, but my nose isn't even bleeding so much."
He turned and walked away, and Kurt realized that he had found a cause to fight against for his presidential campaign.
KURT
The next day, Kurt wondered if he was having a stroke.
On his way to meet Blaine for lunch, he had overheard two girls in the hallway gossiping about Finn outing Santana in a hallway full of students.
It brought back so many emotions and memories that Kurt never wanted to think of again. But this time, Kurt decided, he had the strength to speak up now rather than later.
Forgetting about Blaine completely, Kurt walked as quickly as he could to Finn's locker. The other boy was there, shoving all of his books away so he could go to lunch. Kurt stormed up to him.
"What the hell is your problem?" Kurt snapped.
"Woah, dude," Finn frowned at him as he closed his locker. "What's up?"
Kurt looked around. They couldn't have this discussion in the middle of the hallway.
"Come with me," he commanded, and he led Finn into an empty classroom and closed the door.
"If this is about Rachel..." Finn started.
"This isn't about Rachel!" Kurt snapped at him, making sure the door was latched properly before turning and advancing on the taller boy. "This is about you dragging Santana out of the closet without her permission."
Finn rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on," he said. "Everyone already knows!"
Kurt suddenly remembered Blaine, and he wished that he had gone to get the other boy before coming to confront Finn. Blaine always knew how to calm Kurt down. And Kurt was nowhere near calm now.
"Are you serious?" Kurt shouted at him. "This is someone's life, Finn. Not some silly piece of trivia like what color underwear she wears!"
"I did her a favor," Finn retorted. "Now she can stop acting like she's not sleeping with Brittany or whatever."
To Kurt's dismay, he felt tears stinging in his eyes. "Didn't you learn anything last year?" he accused.
"Whatever," Finn said.
The other boy's flippancy brought an entirely new wave of fury to Kurt, and he knew he couldn't continue this conversation without things getting really out of hand.
"You had no right," Kurt said furiously. "I hope one day you'll realize what a self-absorbed... jerk you're being. Now get out."
"Wha –"
"Get out!" Kurt screamed at him.
Finn didn't argue again. He walked quickly past Kurt and slammed the door closed behind him as he left the room.
Kurt fell into a chair and burst into tears.
He hated remembering all the shame and fear and worry. The feeling of never knowing how people would act around him or when he might get slammed into a locker or tossed into a dumpster. Or if something worse was just around the corner. He still carried some of that fear – it was why he and Blaine rarely kissed in public – but as his confidence had increased the fear had become more manageable.
The door creaked open, and Kurt frantically wiped at his eyes and prayed that it was just the teacher who belonged in this classroom so he could make up some stupid reason for crying and run away to the safety of a bathroom stall.
It was Blaine.
Blaine didn't say anything, but he closed the door quickly behind him and rushed over to scoop Kurt into a tight hug. The action, and all the things it symbolized, just made Kurt cry harder.
"Tina saw you and Finn come in here," Blaine explained quietly after a minute of just holding Kurt and rubbing his back. "But only Finn came out, so..."
"Thanks for coming to find me," Kurt managed, pulling out of the embrace to look at Blaine.
Blaine pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to Kurt. "Would you like to talk about it?" he offered.
"Finn outed her," Kurt said miserably. "Santana."
"Oh," Blaine realized sadly.
Kurt knew he didn't need to tell Blaine not to mention it to anyone. Blaine had experienced his share of fear regarding his sexuality. In some ways, Kurt mused as he looked at the sorrow on Blaine's face, Blaine's experience had been even worse than his own.
"Let's see what happens," Blaine said quietly, reaching out to fix the front of Kurt's hair where it had been messed up during their embrace. "Maybe it won't be so bad."
BLAINE
"Blaine!" Tina squealed, "Your hair looks adorable!"
Blaine blushed at the compliment as they prepared for their portion of the mash off competition. He was incredibly self-conscious about his curly hair, but somehow it didn't bother him so much when everyone else's hair was big and curly too.
"Thanks," he smiled at her.
"You should wear it with less gel more often," she said sweetly. "I think it's cute."
Blaine laughed nervously. "We'll see," he lied.
She studied him for a moment, and just as he was starting to feel self-conscious she spoke again.
"I'm glad you came here," she said.
The kind words caught Blaine off guard, and he felt a warm rush of gratitude.
"Thank you, Tina," he reached out and hugged her briefly. "I'm glad to be here."
Mike approached the two of them and extended a fist for fist bumps from both Tina and Blaine. "Let's kill this."
BLAINE
Later, as Kurt stepped up to the microphone at the senior class presidential debate, Blaine hoped that Finn (who had, for some reason, decided to sit beside him) couldn't hear his heart pounding.
"Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel," Kurt introduced himself. "Um, the past few weeks, I've tried to address the real problem of obesity at this school. But my opponents chose empty promises and smear tactics. Although she knows it to be untrue, my opponent Brittany stated that my face was used as a template for Hasbro's successful line of My Little Ponies."
"Well," Kurt continued. "I refuse to be bullied. In fact, I refuse to let anyone be bullied."
As Kurt elaborated and used dodgeball as an example of generally accepted forms of bullying, Blaine felt overwhelmed. Almost exactly a year earlier, Kurt had been so afraid of the student body at this school that he had transferred to Dalton. Blaine knew that the fear was still there, but now Kurt's coping mechanism was fighting back rather than running away to safety. Blaine knew that, somewhere in this school, there were students who would notice and who would find their courage through Kurt, and his heart ached with pride.
"... and send a strong message that violence isn't okay," Kurt finished.
Blaine was happy that Kurt got a standing ovation from many of the teachers, students, and parents in the audience. He clapped along, and when Kurt turned to glance at him on his way back to his seat Blaine gave him a double thumbs-up.
KURT
"... vote for Kurt."
As Rachel finished withdrawing herself from the race and urging everyone to vote for him, Kurt didn't know how to feel. Rachel returned to her seat beside him, but they didn't look at each other.
"Thank you, students," Principal Figgins said. "And best of luck to you all."
The room was suddenly buzzing with activity. Rachel jumped out of her chair and disappeared into the crowd before Kurt could say anything, and he stood up to follow her.
"Why'd you do it?" Kurt asked as he found her at her locker a moment later. She was removing her campaign poster from the inside of the locker door.
"I should have withdrawn from the race when I got the lead in the musical," she admitted. "You needed the resume boost to get into NYADA. You're already so spectacular, but being senior class president will just put you over the top."
Kurt was so relieved, and was amused that she had chosen to withdraw herself from the race in such a public way. "Only Rachel Berry could perk up an old, boring high school debate with such a riveting twist," he teased.
"Drama queen, I know," Rachel said.
They smiled at each other, and Rachel continued.
"I just– I hated you hating me," she said. "It was..."
"Me too," Kurt agreed. "Scowling gives you forehead lines and I am way too young for Botox."
"I guess I was just, you know, focusing on my dream of going to New York and getting into NYADA," Rachel said. "But then I realized that part of that dream is going there with you. So, now I am all about helping you win. Consider me your campaign slave."
Kurt smiled at that. He couldn't wait to get to New York and experience everything that they never could in small-town Ohio.
"I'm gonna hug you now, okay?" Rachel said, and she stepped forward to wrap her arms around Kurt.
"Thank you," Kurt said. He was so glad they were going to be able to put this behind them and just be friends again.
"So about the whole 'pasty' thing," Rachel said as they walked arm-and-arm down the hallway, "I –"
"Let's just quit while we're ahead, doll" Kurt interrupted.
"Okay," she agreed.
Blaine and Finn suddenly appeared around the corner, and Rachel released Kurt to kiss Finn hello.
"Hey," Kurt said happily as Blaine hugged him.
"That was amazing, Kurt!" Blaine gushed.
"Thanks," Kurt smiled at him.
"I'm so proud of you," Blaine stressed. "Your courage. Your strength. You're going to be the best class president this school has ever seen, for sure."
Kurt wiggled his head playfully. "Well," he said, "I learned from the most courageous man I know."
"I'm going to kiss you for that later," Blaine replied, gesturing helplessly at the other students in the crowded hallway.
"Noted," Kurt winked at him.
"And what about Rachel, huh?" Blaine said, and Kurt realized that Rachel and Finn had walked away. "She came through in the end."
"Don't even give me any of that 'I knew she was good all along' crap," Kurt threatened, "or I will not be open to any kisses in the near future."
Blaine laughed.
Kurt noticed one of Rachel's campaign posters on the wall, and he stepped over to rip it down.
"I can't wait to rip these all off the walls," he said happily.
"We'll replace them all with yours," Blaine said excitedly. "And soon you'll be ruling this school."
KURT
As the Troubletones finished their number for the mash off competition, Kurt noticed Finn whispering to Rachel.
Santana noticed too.
"What did you just say to her?" Santana snapped as she jumped down from the stage to confront Finn.
"I said I thought you were great," Finn explained.
"No, you're lying," Santana accused.
"No, he literally just said that," Rachel confirmed.
"You tell her too?" Santana asked. Kurt's heart broke as he heard and saw the familiar panic and fear in Santana as she struggled to figure out how to deal with people suddenly knowing her sexuality.
"Santana," Mr. Schu warned.
"Everyone's gonna know now," Santana snarled at Finn. "Because of you."
That was the difference between Kurt and Santana. Kurt had come out on his terms. Santana had not had a choice.
"The whole school already knows. And you know what? They don't care," Finn argued.
"Not just the school, you idiot," Santana screamed at him. "Everyone!"
"What are you talking a –"
SMACK.
Santana's hand slapped across Finn's cheek, and Kurt exchanged a quick, sad glance with Blaine.
"Santana!" Mr. Schu snapped. "Finn! Principal's office. Now."
As the two students left the room with the teacher, Blaine turned to Kurt.
"What should we do?" he asked.
"I don't know," Kurt admitted.
"At least she has Brittany," Blaine said hopefully.
Kurt looked at Blaine and, as he did almost every day, he thanked the universe for allowing them to meet and fall in love. He had no idea where he would be if he hadn't found Blaine.
He nodded. "At least she has Brittany."
I have all the Tina/Blaine friendship feelings, okay? I hope they'll be the leaders of New Directions in season four! They're both so sweet, gosh.
I was conflicted about whether or not Kurt knew about Finn outing Santana before that slap at the end of the episode... but if you look at Kurt's face during that scene at the end, he looks upset but not really surprised. So I decided that he must've heard about it beforehand. And having him fight with Finn about it provided a nice moment for a little reminder of all the crazy things that happened to Kurt last season, plus hugs from Blaine, so... I went for it!
Up next... 'I Kissed A Girl'!
