Zaiah was a year older then Kurt but he flunked 8th grade putting them in the class of 2012 together. Zaiah was tall and lean, he had a beard but kept it clean much like his close cut sandy blond hair. He had his eye brow and tongue pierced and soft brown eyes that lit up around Kurt. Today Zaiah had an ADayToRemember concert shirt and a gray beanie on with black skinny jeans cuffed at the bottom and a pair of gray toms.

"I've missed you. I mean there are a lot of things out side my four walls I've missed but you are top 5." Zaiah said as they walked to the front to get their frozen yogurt.

"Oh Zaiah, it was only like 2 weeks," Kurt smiled ordering strawberry.

"Yeah but I still missed you. How did the rest of the show go?" He ordered pineapple and coconut then paid for Kurt's as well even against Kurt's protest.

"The show was great, last two nights sold out." Kurt said.

"That's incredible, you are incredible." Zaiah beamed, "so I was wondering now that Wicked is over and you have time if you maybe wanted to be my boyfriend."

Kurt froze and stared at his yogurt. Boyfriend? They hardly know each other. They went to different schools, and wouldn't be able to talk that often. Kurt didn't want to be anyone's boyfriend, that's not want he planned he was using senior year to get credits for NYADA Zaiah wanted to go west to an art school in the rockies. That's the complete opposite of what Kurt wanted. A boyfriend? Kurt couldn't imaging that being his title. Changing his facebook status to in a relationship with Zaiah Baker would get him in so much trouble with Rachel. And Blaine... what about Blaine. He changed his whole life for Kurt and three days later Kurt is monogamous.

"Zaiah," Kurt started, "I like you I really do but I can't be your boyfriend."

"Why not?" Zaiah asked hurt a bit at Kurt's answer.

"For starters, I've never been someone's boyfriend, and I really just wanted to use this year to get me into nyada. Plus we hardly see each other." Kurt said sympathetically. "Its not a 'no Zaiah I don't want to be your boyfriend', its a 'no Zaiah, lets get to know each other better before I make my choice'."

"Okay, I see where you're coming from." He said then like the last conversation didn't happen he changed the subject. Kurt was happy he was ungrounded.

All weekend Kurt and Zaiah hung out. They saw a movie, went to dinner and sat on the phone all night. They even texted all through their classes Monday morning and during lunch Rachel and Blaine had no idea why Kurt was so cheeky every time his phone vibrated.

"Kurt, how was you're weekend?" Rachel asked.

"Fun," Kurt shrugged and smiled.

"Did you pick your song?" Blaine asked. Kurt shook his head no and answered another text.

(11:47) to Kurt

Zaiah: Walgreens has an entire section just for chapstick. I think I'm in heaven, what kind do you use?

(11:49) to Zaiah

Kurt: Lol(: Green apple. Why do ask?

(11:51) to Kurt

Zaiah: so I buy some and taste your lips.

"And that's when the man eating squirrel ate the broach I borrowed from you." Rachel said catching Kurt's attention.

"What did you do?"

"Kurt you have been glued to that phone since Friday, set it down and enjoy lunch with the people in front of you." Rachel ordered.

"Fine god." Kurt said sending one last message.

(11:53) to Zaiah.

Kurt lol you are silly. Queen bee is making me put my phone away. Ttyl.

"There. now what are we talking about?" Kurt said setting his phone to the side. But it vibrated as soon as Blaine opened his mouth.

"I was so busy this weekend with my niece I barley got my homework done." Blaine said.

"How old is she?" Kurt asked as his phone vibrated again.

"She's three now and a wild thing." Blaine said beaming at Kurt. "Wanna see a picture of her, she looks nothing like cooper but every thing she does reflects his gene." Blaine pulled his phone out and showed Rachel and Kurt his niece, Annabelle. Kurt's phone buzzed again and Rachel sighed reaching for it.

"Who is talking to you?" She asked as Blaine lowered his phone honestly interested.

"Rachel give it back." Kurt said irritated holding his hand out.

"Hold it Hummel, Zaiah? Really? We're doing that again."

"Who's Zaiah?" Blaine asked his heart shattering in his voice.

"My friend," Kurt said passively reaching for his phone, "give me my phone Rachel."

"Oh we need to have a long talk mister." Rachel handed his phone back, "how long has he been back in the picture?"

"Friday, he got ungrounded." Kurt said.

"He's like 20," Rachel said, Blaine shrinking to the background of the conversation.

"He's 7 months older then me." Kurt hissed back.

"He's got a beard. You can do better" Rachel said a little too obviously.

"To late he is my boyfriend." Kurt said suddenly feeling uneasy about his early acceptance of Zaiah's proposal.

"Since when? You haven't told me a damn thing about that." Rachel said.

"Friday night, and I haven't told anyone."

"Why are you keeping him a secret?"

"Because I want too!"

"Bullshit!"

"Where is this coming from? Why are you hoping all down my back about this."

"Because, I want what's best for you and some hipster from west Lima is not what I had in mind," Rachel said harshly. They stared at each other for a long moment before Kurt stood up.

"I don't need this right now." He stated walking away from their table. He sent a quick text to Zaiah

(12:10) to Zaiah

Kurt: yes I will be your boyfriend.

(12:10) to Kurt
