The next morning

Kurt sat in the choir room for their early morning rehearsal bouncing his foot and holding his phone in his hands, waiting for two things: 1) New Directions rehearsal to start and 2) a reply text from Blaine. He was hoping for option two more than the latter.

"You're in a good mood," Mercedes said, breaking Kurt's reverie. "You feeling better? Finn said you were throwing up yesterday."

Kurt couldn't hide his glee from his best friend. "Oh! I'm feeling much better."

"Okay, what's going on? Whenever you use that tone, it means that something else is happening that you're not telling."

Kurt pursed his lips, still not able to smooth out his features. His phone buzzed.

B-Tell me again why you HAD to go back to McKinley. You could be skipping classes with me and fucking like rabbits in my dorm room at all hours.

Kurt quickly typed a response. K- That'd be the life… making love to each other around the clock and flunking out of high school… good plan. :D kidding. Xoxo

"I'm going to take your phone and flush it if you don't spill the beans," Mercedes insisted.

Kurt looked around him, taking note of the proximity of other people around him. "Okay, but you have to swear not to say anything."

"Ooo! Juicy news! I'm your diary. Spill."

Kurt took a breath and leaned in, cupping his hand to the outside of his mouth and Mercedes' ear. He whispered as gently as he could without screaming in gleefulness. "I'm not a virgin any more." He leaned back and smiled into his fist. That was the first time he said that statement out loud.

"What?"

"Shh!" A couple of faces looked at them and turned back to what they were doing.

"When?" Mercedes covered her mouth in awe with her hand.

"Yesterday. I wasn't actually sick, sorry for ditching the group, but the moment kind of raised itself and we took it… twice."

"Oh my god!" The faces looked back again.

"Cedes, stop, you're attracting attention to the conversation."

B- I think you should come over after school.

K- Don't you have a test tomorrow?

B- Nope. All done. Tomorrow's classes are all review for midterms next week. I can study you if you'll let me.

"Wow," she said quieter. "For real? You two…"

"Mmhmm," he mused, still smiling. K- I hope you know studying and screwing me blind are two completely different things.

"What was it like?"

Kurt glanced around again. "Effing amazing. So much better than I ever imagined. My dad had the talk with me months ago, before Blaine and I got together, and he said 'once you start doing this, you not gonna wanna stop.'" He paused for a second and made a face. "Honey, he was right." Mercedes giggled. "I can't get enough of him. We freaking did it twice yesterday. If I didn't think we'd get caught, I would have been begging for more."

B- Call it what you want. Either way I want you in my bed, naked, by 4:30. Any chance of that being a reality?

K- I'll ask Finn for the car and ask my dad if I can go.

"Oh my…"

"I know!"

"Was it, like, weird after?"

"No. Not at all. We were able to talk about it comfortably and everything. Mainly we cuddled a lot."

B- You can always not ask and tell him that you were sleeping walking. I hear that works like a charm for you. Lol

K- Hey it worked didn't it? Would you rather I told him the truth? Sorry I tracked in half the soil in the garden Dad, I was too busy sucking my boyfriend's dick at 2 AM to notice. Yeah, that'd go over well.

B- Please come? You're all I can think about. I need to be inside you.

K- Are you going to make me beg for it again? I'll punch you in the balls if you do.

B- I give you permission to do so if I in any way try to stop you.

"Kurt, phone away. Rehearsal is starting," Mr. Shuester urged.

K- Rehearsal's starting. Talk to you later. Love you! Xoxo Kurt turned the ringer off his phone and put his phone in his pocket. He tuned in to what Mr. Sheuster was saying at the point of him saying that a new member was joining.

"Normally, I'd be a little apt to deny an audition so late in the season. Especially since the end of our competition season will be in a week, but I heard this guy sing and I really think that he can do nothing, but help our odds. New Directions, meet your new Baritone: Zach Jefferson."

Zach waltzed in, smiling his perfect pearly white teeth. Everyone looked happy to have him there. Kurt didn't know if he was indifferent or something else. He'd heard him sing before and knew that he was talented, but he imagined Blaine to be less than enthused having Zach in the same room when they have Warbler/New Direction practice.

"Zach," Mr Sheuster clapped the blonde haired boy on the shoulder, "tradition here is to sing for the group once you join. Got something in your back pocket?"

"Sure." Zach smiled again. Half the girls swooned. Zach walked over to the guitars and selected one. He pulled the strap over his head and stood front and center in the room. "This is called Can't Stand It by Never Shout Never."

Baby I love you. I never want to let you go

The more I think about

The more I want to let you know

That everything you do it super duper cute

And I can't stand it

He began strutting toward the seated choir members and stopped in front of Quinn and Santana.

I've been searching for a girl that's just like you

Cause I know that your heart is true

Zach winked at them and moved on to Tina, who sat in the second row.

Baby I love you. I never want to let you go

The more I think about

The more I want to let you know

That everything you do it super duper cute

And I can't stand it

She blushed and averted eye contact. This made Zach smile and he nodded to Mike. He returned to the front of the room.

Let's sell all our stuff and run away

To sail the ocean blue

Then you'll know

That my heart is true Yeah

Baby I love you. I never want to let you go

The more I think about

The more I want to let you know

That everything you do it super duper cute

And I can't stand it

He slowed his tempo down and looked in Kurt and Mercedes direction.

You, you got me where you want me

Cause I'll do anything to please you

Just to make it through another year

You, I saw you across the room

And I knew that this was going to blossom

Into something beautiful

You're beautiful.

He stopped playing and began doing a series of finger snaps and hand claps while singing the next verse.

Baby I love you. I never want to let you go

The more I think about

The more I want to let you know

That everything you do it super duper cute

And I can't stand it

Zach started strumming again with enthusiasm. He had the run of the room, everyone bopping along to the song in some form.

Baby I love you. I never want to let you go

The more I think about

The more I want to let you know

That everything you do it super duper cute

And I can't stand it

And I can't stand it

No I can't stand it.

He strummed his last chord and smiled brightly at the site of all the New Direction members on their feet and clapping. He looked up at Kurt, who was also standing, but not clapping nearly as fervently as everyone else. He didn't look impressed, but merely satisfied. You really are stubborn aren't you? He thought.

Zach took a seat next to Quinn. When rehearsal was over he caught up with Kurt in the hallway. "You're not easy to impress are you?"

"I've already heard you sing, remember? I know what you sound like. Singing a cutesy song isn't going to bring tears to my eyes." Kurt started walking to his locker with Zach in tow. "Maybe you should stop trying to impress me. I'm starting to get the impression that you're a closet case." He laughed at his joke.

"I'm not closeted. I'm 100% comfortable in my sexuality. I just can't get over you and I not being able to have a conversation that doesn't include you looking annoyed." They reached Kurt's locker. "I aim to please and it bothers me that there's no pleasing you."

"That's because you bug me." Kurt continued to have a big smile on his face.

Zach laughed audibly. "What do I do that bugs you?"

Kurt thought and laughed harder. "You know, I don't even know anymore."

"I must have caught you at the right time because you're in a really good mood. You're usually borderline pissed whenever you see me."

"Well, seeing you is what makes me borderline pissed. I can't help it; it's a knee jerk reaction by now."

"And today?"

"I'm in a good mood today. I could get slammed into a locker and probably not even notice." Both boys started walking towards their first period class together. "So you got a thing for Quinn?" He felt his phone buzzing in his pocket and his mind automatically started tuning Zach out.

B- Is it 4:30 yet?

K- Mmm skipping sounds really good right about now.

B- Talk dirty to me

K- I'm in a hallway, headed to French class, where I sit next to your BFF

B- Don't care. I want dirty sexts.

K- I think you've forgotten that I'm that one who gets what he wants. You get to suffer.

B- Baby, I'm gonna make you feel so good later. Mmnn! I can cum in my pants now just remembering you pounding your ass onto me in the garden.

K- Blaine! What the hell have you done with my boyfriend?

B- I swallowed him whole. Just like I'm going to do to your perfect cock before I fuck you so hard, Baby.

K- asdfghjkl I want you to be fucking me now so hard and deep that I can't stand straight.

K- Was that good enough? Cause that's all you're getting. I'm sitting in class, shaking because I'm trying to think of dead kittens so I won't have a hard on between Zach and Mercedes.

B- Go to the bathroom. I'll totally have phone sex with you.

K- Blaine, please. I'm asking you to stop. I love what you're doing. Really I do, but I am really uncomfortable right now with people around me.

B- : (

K- I'm really sorry. You can talk like that all you want when I'm around, but I'd rather not have someone looking over my shoulder and see the words "fuck, sex, or hard," on my screen.

B- Are you really sitting next to Zach?

K- Yes.

B- Are you two becoming friends?

K- I don't know. We talk now, but our conversations are usually two minutes long total.

B- Do you want to be his friend?

K- I don't know.

B- Think about it and let me know. I'd rather be prepared to hear about him in your life if you told me, than to be surprised.

K- I'll keep you posted.

B- See you at 4:30? X^D

K- We'll see.

B- Love you.

K- I love you.
