So, apparently Finn had a big mouth. Kurt knew that he wasnt deliberately doing everything wrong, but hed accidentally let it slip that Kurt had a boyfriend for the second time.
Rachel, Finn and Sam were the only people in Glee Club that knew about Blaine. Kurt wasnt hiding the fact that he had a boyfriend, but he hadnt told his friends anything, and nobody had seemed to notice that something was different.
It happened while Rachel was in the middle of one of her solos. Finn had recognised the song instantly as hed heard Blaine singing it and playing it every time he was at their house.
"Hey Kurt, doesnt Blaine like this song?" Finn had asked, loud enough for the whole Glee Club to hear. Rachel pouted, crossing her arms over her chest as all of the attention was focused on Kurt.
"Yup..." Kurt said awkwardly, swallowing and knowing that people could tell that something was up.
"Whos Blaine?" Mercedes asked, raising her eyebrow.
"I..."
"Hes Kurts boyfriend." Finn said nonchalantly.
"Finn!" Kurt and Sam both exclaimed as the room erupted in cheers and woops, eliciting a groan from Kurt.
"Boyfriend?" Mercedes asked. "What boyfriend?"
"Wanky!" Santana all but shouted, receiving a glare from Mr Schue.
"Huh...who knew Hummel had it in him..." Puck muttered.
"Is he a dolphin?" Brittany asked, causing everyone in the room to stare at her strangely. "What? Dolphins are gay sharks, guys. Duh."
"Oh for crying out loud..." Kurt mumbled. "Yes, I have a boyfriend - called Blaine, if you didnt pick that up - weve been going out for two months -"
"Two months!?" Mercedes exclaimed. "And you didnt tell me!?"
"Let me finish," Kurt groaned. "Weve been going out for two months and before Finn opens his big mouth again, he has a stutter and hes really shy, which is one of the reasons I didnt tell you guys because I know that youre all going to want to meet him."
"Hell yes, I want to meet him!" Mercedes said. "I cant believe youve been keeping this a secret."
"Kurt," Sam said in a whisper, although the room was silent, so people heard him anyway. "Blaines gonna freak out when you tell him about this."
"I know." Kurt groaned, covering his face in frustration.
"Wait, Sam knew about this? Of all people..." Mercedes asked.
"Yes, Sam knew. Sam knew because hes known Blaine practically since birth and hes the one that set us up in the first place. Actually, you guys already know who he is anyway."
"Hes the lead singer in The Warblers," Sam supplied. "Short, kinda dorky, helmet of gelled black hair..."
"Im telling him you said that." Kurt laughed.
"Woah, slow down," Santana said. "Youre dating our competition?"
"Hes not our competition to me Santana," Kurt snapped. "Yes, hes part of an opposing team, but our relationship has literally nothing to do with Glee Club. Hes not dating me to get information about our Glee Club, and Im not dating him to get information about his. Hes been best friends with Sam this whole time, you just didnt know it, so dont start ganging up on me for dating somebody whos part of another Glee Club."
"Gee, calm down," Santana commented. "No need to get all defensive."
"This is exactly why I didnt tell you guys about it!" Kurt exclaimed, completely ignoring Santana. "I knew Id just get snarky comments and judgemental replies from everyone. Rachel nearly scared him away, Finns told practically everyone that Im dating him and hes insulted Blaine several times already -"
"Kurt," Sam said softly. "Calm down."
"No, Sam," Kurt said. "Im not going to calm down. All I want is a friend who I can talk to about how freaking amazing my boyfriend is and I cant because the only thing people in this club care about is what school he goes to!"
"Kurt -" Mercedes was cut off by Sam putting a hand on Kurts shoulder and gently pushing him off his chair.
"Youre coming with me." He said, directing Kurt out of the room.
He lead Kurt to his car and sat inside with him. Kurt leaned his head against the headrest and let out a groan, closing his eyes. "Im so stupid."
"Youre not," Sam assured him. After a few minutes of silence he spoke again, unable to stop himself. "Youre in love with him, arent you?"
Kurt opened his eyes, turning his head to look at Sam, smiling a tiny bit. "Am I that obvious?"
"If you toned it down on the shouting a little, you probably wouldnt have been." Sam teased, smiling at Kurt.
"I couldnt help it," Kurt said. "Im sick of Finn telling everybody stuff thats personal when I wanted to tell people in my own time. And then everyones reaction...I knew theyd be like that. Why cant they be like Blaines friends? They teased us, sure, but you could tell that they were happy for us."
"Because Blaines friends are practically inhuman," Sam laughed. "Seriously, theyre the strangest people Ive ever met and thats really saying something."
Kurt laughed a little before sighing. "I just...I kind of wish I had a friendship like yours and Blaines. I mean, Id say Rachel and Mercedes were my best friends and I could probably talk to them about whatever I wanted to, but its not the same. You and Blaine are like...its kind of like your one person split into two, and Ive never been that close to anyone."
"Youre so blind," Sam laughed. "Kurt, Blaine is your best friend. I mean...not in the same way that hes my best friend because hes practically my brother and I couldnt wanna like, make out with him and stuff, but hes the person that youre that close to. Hes the person that you can talk to about anything, you silly, silly person."
"I guess but...what if Blaine and I had an argument and I needed to talk about it to someone? Then who would I go to?"
"Youd go to me so that I could hit you both over the head with something really hard." Sam laughed.
"Noted." Kurt laughed.
"But in all seriousness - I love Blaine. Other than my parents, hes probably the person than means the most to me, and I know that youre starting to feel that way about him too. There was a reason I set you guys up together, Kurt. I knew that you guys would be perfect together, but I also knew that I could trust you to look after him. You know as well as I do that he hasnt been accepted his whole life, and I experienced first hand how badly that hurt him, but I knew that if anybody was going to accept him it was going to be you. I know that you and I arent close in the same way Blaine and I are, but you know that you can talk to me, right?"
Kurt smiled softly at Sam. "Thank you."
