"Jeff come on you're taking forever" Kurt shouted at his new friend, who was currently going through the men's shirt section again.

"I'm sorry Kurt but not all of us have and innate ability to find fabulous clothes at cheap, cheap prices" Jeff retorted gesturing to the stack of clothes Kurt had already picked out.

All of the Warblers at the coffee shop had decided that the shopping trip was a good idea. Wes had called the other three Warblers who weren't at the Lima Bean (James, Luke and Flint) and they showed up too. They were all at the local mall in the final shop.

So far David had bought a collection of shirts and ties, Sebastian had several pairs of skinny jeans that he said were for "the boys in the clubs" (and to be honest Kurt didn't really want to know) Wes had to be persuaded not to by a new gavel, he had enough at home. Blaine had bought several bow ties much to the warblers distaste, apparently he also had enough at home. Thad and James had just ended up buying food from the different stores selling it and Luke and Flint bought some new school shoes ( jumping on furniture didn't help to keep shoes in good condition) Elliott bought some short sleeved shirts that would show off his muscled frame well- but Kurt was ashamed of thinking like that.

Kurt, Trent and Jeff had bought the most, each boy had bags and bags of clothes that they didn't really need, and somebody-Jeff- wasn't finished.

"Jeff you don't want to max out your credit card again, do you?" Nick shouted across the store

"That was your fault and you know it" Jeff shouted back

"You maxed out your credit card?" Kurt asked pretending to be shocked- it wasn't like he had done that before, several times, no way.

"Yup," Jeff said nonchalantly, before turning to Kurt to explain, "Okay imagine a very nervous Jeff about to go on his first date with that hot boy Nick over there," Jeff pointed at Nick who was pulling faces at Thad behind his back. Trying not to laugh Kurt nodded "Well Nick had never seen me in anything but my uniform before, so I wanted to dress to impress. But I didn't know what to wear, so I ended up going shopping and buy a load of new clothes, maxing out my card, getting grounded and in the end wearing something I already had."

Kurt laughed and Trent rolled his eyes

"Ok, I give in you are worse than me." Kurt laughed walking away and paying for his clothes, his Dad would probably freak out when he saw how much Kurt had bought but he needed bonding time with his new friends.

"Hey Kurt," Elliott said walking up to him, laughing when he saw how much Kurt had bought

"What? I'm stressed; I shop when I'm stressed." Kurt said defensively, that wasn't entirely true but it was definitely safer than his other method.

"How do you afford to buy so much if you don't have much money?" Elliott asked

"Look at what I have bought sale items only-they are cheap but fashionable. And if they aren't I will cut them up and make them into something new." Kurt shrugged

"Jeff come on I'm hungry" Nick wailed at his boyfriend (Kurt had asked Trent-who was the Warbler gossip master)

"We're all getting something to eat before heading to Dalton, you wanna come too?" Elliott asked

"I better not, my Dad is expecting me home soon, and he probably thinks I'm out with Mercedes" Kurt said as Nick finally got Jeff to pay for his things and leave the mall.

When everyone had reached the car park the Warblers said goodbye to Kurt, they all exchanged numbers. Trent, Blaine and Jeff all gave Kurt a hug, Nick whispered "See you later Spy" whilst sticking his tongue out. Sebastian called him cutie pie (he also saved Kurt's number under the name- definitely a player) David high fived him and Wes (not to be out done) fist bumped him. All 11Warblers got into their respective cars (they somehow managed to fit in 3) Just leaving Elliott and Kurt.

"Text me when you get home, Jeff will probably text you some time in the next five minutes and tell me if that Karofsky kid says anything to you ok?" Elliott said

"Yeah I will," he said as his phone vibrated in his pocket

"Jeff" they both said laughing. Elliott pulled Kurt into a hug before kissing him lightly on the cheek.

"Drive safe" he said before walking to the only car left- the one occupied by Wes and David, who were currently fighting, Wes was hitting David with something that looked suspiciously like a gavel, maybe the Warbler had brought one after all.

"Good luck with those two" Kurt said before getting into his own. Whilst he was driving he tried not to think about the kiss, but he did anyway. What did it mean? Was it a friendly kiss, Kurt kissed Mercedes on the cheek all the time, or did Elliott like him? Kurt was confused but deep down he hoped for the latter, because he did like Elliott, he wasn't going to deny it. Kurt hoped Elliott like him too; he didn't want Elliott to be another Finn.

Elliott had helped him so much already, without even knowing him well. Elliott made sure that Kurt didn't hate himself. But as he drove away the dark thoughts slowly crept back into his mind, poisoning him, making Kurt hate himself once more.
