B- So coffee 4?

Kurt was glad to be seated behind an easel in Art class. It was easy to not be seen by a teacher who didn't walk around the classroom. K- of course. What are we doing after?

"You know, you spend more time on the phone than you do paying attention," said Zach. Zach was sitting to Kurt's right for the third time that day. Four if you count lunch.

"That's because I don't have to pay attention to pass certain classes. Classes at Dalton were much harder."

"Dalton?"

"Oh, I went to a prep school for a portion of the year. That's where I met my b- um…that's where I met Blaine."

"Blaine's your boyfriend, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then why don't you call him that? He's your significant other, you shouldn't edit because I may or may not approve, if that's what you're doing. But for the record, I think two people in love, same sex or not, is beautiful."

Kurt's phone vibrated. "Where did you come from?"

Zach chuckled quietly. Kurt thought he looked dazzling when he smiled or laughed. There was a glow to him that Kurt had never seen in anyone. "What do you mean?"

"You're so happy and positive. Are you like this all the time or are you putting on an act for your first day?" Kurt's phone vibrated again as a reminder to answer the text.

"I'm pretty much like this all the time. I'm happy and nothing really bothers me. It tends to bug people sometimes, though, because some people think I'm too nice."

Kurt blinked. Was there such a thing? He moved his eyes away from Zach's and peered down. "I think that's what makes you likeable and easy to be around."

There was a pause between the boys. Zach spoke slowly as if treading lightly through water. "You like being around me?"

Kurt's phone vibrated again. He's smiling again, I can tell. What are you doing, Kurt? Stop flirting! Kurt wanted to tell Zach that he enjoyed being around him very much; that he was surprisingly comfortable about him, but instead he cleared his throat. "I'm supposed to meet up with Blaine and some new guy in his glee club at four, do you want to come?"

"Sure! Your boyfriend won't mind?"

"No, he's bringing someone too."

"I won't start Cheerio practice until tomorrow so, I've got time."

"Great. Okay I'll meet you at my locker after school?"

Zach agreed with a smile. Kurt found himself smiling back and staring at his face. His phone buzzed again and he broke the moment.

B- Anything you want.

In between trying to paint a still life, Kurt and Blaine decided to attend Puck's bonfire party as long Kurt promised to find a dark corner for him and Blaine to hide in.

Zach couldn't help, but grin at the sight of Kurt's blush and shrugged his eyebrows before returning his attention to his painting.

K- Oh! Do you mind if I bring someone to coffee with us? New kid.

B-The one you were ignoring me to talk to earlier?

This sent a pang in Kurt's heart because he had done that very thing for the second time in one day. K- Don't do that, it makes me feel bad. And yes, him.

B- I guess so. I'm bringing James after all.

K-Can't wait to see you.

B- I'm dying to kiss you.

Kurt brushed off the comment even though he loved reading it. He wasn't going to let Blaine sext him while in class, possibly making his pants tighten in a room full of people. After years of being picked on, he really didn't need one more thing to be made fun of.

K- How are you having time to text me all day?

B-I skipped. Too tired, but before you say anything, it was totally worth the exhaustion.

K-What did you do all day?

B- Slept and dreamed of you. Took a hot shower and thought of you. Then took a cold shower and tried not to think of you.

Okay, really? he thought. Fine. I'll play along. Kurt smirked as he typed out his text, thinking it was clever. K-Getting dirty in the shower? Lol

B-Don't laugh! I couldn't stop thinking of your lips…and all the places they went.

Kurt blushed for what seemed like the millionth time since he met Blaine. K- I will kill you if the bell rings and I have to walk with a book in front of my pants. Don't think I won't.

B- After last night, I can now die happy.

K- Stop! I'm going back to my classwork now. I'll text you when I'm on my way. He was just putting his phone back in his pocket when it vibrated again.

B- I can't tell if your mad or not.

K- Not mad. I really have to look like I've done something so I'll text you later. I love you.

B-Love you more than you know.

Kurt smiled and put his phone in his pocket. He turned back to his painting and hummed along to a tune in his head for the last fifteen minutes of class.

Later at the coffee shop.

Blaine and James sat across from each other at the coffee shop that the Warbler's frequented. "Can I ask you a question?" Blaine asked. "Why are you transferring so late in the year? There's only a few months left."

James thought about how to answer. "Um… I got into a lot of fights." He smiled after he said it, so it lead Blaine to think there was more to the story. Reading Blaine's facial expression, James decided to explain. "I'm gay." He shrugged like it was supposed to be obvious. "And a jock… apparently locker rooms aren't for homos."

Blaine understood. "I got into a lot of fights too." He paused. "But I bet you were the one giving the beatings more than receiving them."

"Not exactly. I started them, but about half way through I always found myself outnumbered by multiple men who were as big, if not bigger, than me."

Blaine winced. "Oh. I'm sorry."

James shrugged again. "No big. I'm here now… Can't exactly say I hate it here."

Blaine saw James' eyes look from his eyes to his lips and back again. "Oh my God!" Blaine laughed.

"What?" James asked with a light hearted tone.

"You just checked me out." Blaine was smiling, but he was baffled. "We were talking about being beat up because of our orientation and you found it an opportune moment to check me out." He laughed some more.

James smiled brightly. His eyes sparkled when he smiled. "I can't really help it, to be honest. I thought you were totally kissable the second I saw you this morning."

Blaine was flattered. He smiled slightly and thought of Kurt. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Blaine moved to lean forward a few inches, never taking his eyes off James.

James responded correspondingly and leaned in as well. "You do?"

Blaine licked his lips slowly, an action that caught James' attention and made him lean closer. Blaine's made his eyes appear innocent before he leaned so close he was a only a few inches from James' face. "I think the same thing about my boyfriend every time I see him." He stopped leaning and smiled.

James' expression fell and dropped back into his chair. "Boyfriend?"

Blaine couldn't help, but laugh. "Yep."

"You're a tease."

"You're a horn dog. We were having a serious conversation and you check me out?" He laughed again and shook his head. "You deserved it."

James eyed Blaine slyly with a grin. He'd been played and had to admit he found it humorous. If anything, it made him want to chase Blaine more. He was used to getting what he wanted and Blaine was definitely what he wanted. "Tell me about him; your boyfriend."

"His name is Kurt. He's going to be here any minute, actually, with a friend of his."

"Is he, how do I put this? A top or bottom?"

Blaine curled in his bottom lip and bit down on it only adding a little pressure. "I don't see where that's your business."

"Sorry. I meant, is he masculine or feminine?"

Blaine blinked. "Definitely feminine."

"Wow. Didn't picture you to be with a diva."

"He's not," Blaine responded immediately. He was reminded of the night before when Kurt seductively told him he was a spoiled brat and stifled a smile. He didn't like Kurt being talked about the way James disposed of the word 'diva.' He might as well have been straight calling Kurt a derogatory word with the way he said it. "He's really into fashion, as you'll see, and he's probably the most caring person I've ever met." His eyes drifted towards the door and saw Kurt walking in. In a daze, he said "He's actually quite beautiful."

James clenched down on his jaw and eyed his competition. This will be a piece of cake, he thought and smiled.
