"Kurt? Rachel? May I speak to you two outside for a moment?" Blaine asked as he finished passing out tonight's homework. Kurt and Rachel stood and followed Blaine to the door, "Everyone else, please start doing your homework. I'll be back in a moment." Blaine told the rest of his class before leaving with Kurt and Rachel following behind him.
He led the kids to the teacher's bathroom.
"What are we doing in here?" Rachel asked as Blaine closed the door behind him.
Kurt took a seat on the closed toilet lid, "This is where we go when Blaine pulls me out of class."
Rachel jumped up on the sink, "I don't want to know what you do in here." She chuckled to herself.
"Nothing much..." Blaine trailed off.
"Mostly talk. And kiss." Kurt added.
"Awe." Rachel blushed at the idea, "Will you kiss for me?" She asked the men.
"We're not going to kiss on command." Blaine replied.
Rachel rolled her eyes and giggled, "I can't believe my best friend is dating his teacher!" She exclaimed, "It's so unbelievable."
"Don't worry, Rachel." Kurt said from where he was sitting, "I sometimes have to pinch myself because I believe I'm dreaming."
Blaine laughed at his boyfriend, "You must be dreaming? I never thought I would ever be in an illegal situation." He said, "I would always tell myself 'I would only do that in my dreams.' and here I am, dating a boy who won't be legal until the end of this school year."
"It's still incredible!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Okay, okay. I know it's exciting from your perspective but we have to get onto to topic. Kurt told me that he did tell you and that you won't tell anyone. I want to believe it but I want to hear the promise from you. You won't tell anyone?"
"Oh, yeah, totally." Rachel promised, "If this secret is so important to you I will try my very best to keep it that way."
"I'm counting on you to do it." Said Blaine, "Now that I know that she can try to keep this secret is there anyone else who we may be able to tell? Just so we have more people to cover it up. In case we ever get caught."
Kurt scoffed, "I think we can safely say that we won't get caught."
"Well, just to be safe."
"Mercedes." Kurt breathed, "We have to tell her. This is a secret, now, that if one of my friends knows, the other one has to too."
"Okay. Mercedes and that's it?" Blaine asked.
"It should be." Kurt thought about his dad. How he doesn't know and he shouldn't know until after he has graduated high school, "For now."
Blaine nodded. He knew who Kurt had on his mind.
Rachel and Kurt approached Mercedes during lunch the next day. The pair sat across from her. Mercedes looked quizzically at them.
"May I help you?" Mercedes asked as she rested her arms on the table.
"We need to talk to you about something." Rachel whispered.
Mercedes sat back in her seat, "What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Her eyes looked back and forth between Kurt and Rachel.
"No." Kurt assured her, "But if you say anything there will be."
"What are you talking about, Boo?"
Kurt leaned in to Mercedes. Rachel looked around to make sure that nobody was listening then nodded to Kurt. Kurt whispered into Mercedes ear. Mercedes gasped and looked at the two, her mouth still agape, as Kurt sat back.
"No!" She breathed exuberantly.
Kurt and Rachel nodded, "They talked to me yesterday."
Mercedes squealed, "I can't believe it! I can't believe it!" She shouted, causing some kids to look in their direction.
"Shhh..." Kurt shushed the girl.
"When did thi-!"
"Shhh..." He shushed again.
"Sorry, excited." Mercedes apologized in a whisper, "When did this happen?"
"A couple weeks ago." Kurt replied back.
"And when did you tell Rachel?"
"A couple days ago."
Mercedes slumped back, "Why did you tell her before me?" Hurt was all over her voice.
"Because I had to. I had to tell Finn and with fear that he might tell Rachel I had to spread the news in order to make sure her mouth stays shut." Kurt informed her.
"Oh?" Mercedes wasn't so sure, "Who else knows?"
"Other than you, Rachel, and Finn? Carole is the only other person who knows." Kurt replied.
"Your step-mom?" Mercedes furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"She was the first one I told. It was like a guilt-trip. What she was saying when I told her was basically itching at me." Kurt admitted.
"I just can't believe it." Mercedes shook her head in disbelief but a smile was on her face.
"Promise me one thing." Kurt began, "Don't tell anyone. Especially my dad."
Mercedes face fell straight as she became more serious, "I promise."
