"Kurt. We need to talk to you about…" Burt started to say but his son interrupted him.

"You're sending my back to McKinley because you don't have the money. I get it. But can I ask when?" Kurt asked as he leaned up again the counter.

"Next Monday. We talked to the Headmaster. He said that it was completely understandable and that if they had any scholarship money left that they would make it to were you could stay but that just isn't the case. Maybe next year you can get a scholarship and go." Carol said as she stood up and walked over to her stepson. "I know that things are still new and fresh between you and Blaine you can still meet after school. Hang out on weekends. And we'll talk about maybe letting him sleep over a night here every now and then but he would have to sleep on the couch."

"Thanks Carol. I'm going to go let him know what's going on," Kurt ran up to his room and dialed Blaine's cell. When he heard the voice mail pick up he slightly cursed and through the phone on to his bed. How was Blaine going to take the news? He tried again and left him a message saying that he would be at the mall.

Kurt changed his clothes and checked his hair before he left and just went walking around. He started to look into the GAP but he couldn't help sneer at the place. He went on to the other stores and saw that they had the newest Marc Jacobs and it wasn't looking good. He needed to have a new outfit for going back to McKinley but that would have to wait until after the slushies. He always hated the jocks that would do that but then again not all were bad. Walking around some more and then going to the food court he started to think of what he was going to snack on.

Just as he was about to order his phone started to play Animal. "Hey, I'm at the food court," He said as he stepped out of line.

"I know. I see you. So what's up with the sad face?"

"I'll tell you when you get over here." Kurt hung up and looked around for his boyfriend. When Blaine came up to him he got a kiss on the cheek and a hug.

"So clue me in. What's going on that made you so sad?" Blaine said as he placed his order to the pretzel lady.

"I'm going to be back at McKinley Monday. They don't have to money to keep me going until the end of the year. If you think that's bad just wait. Carol said that you could spend the night but you would have to sleep on the cough. I guess Dad told her about us."

"Kurt it's okay. I had a feeling that this might happen. So I'm coming with you. My father won't be exactly happy about it but oh well. Mom won't care as long as she thinks I'm happy. So what do you think? Me and you walking the halls of McKinley?"

"I don't know I don't want you to give up your friends to follow me. We can still see each other just not that much. But you know that you're welcome to come over anytime you want just no spending the night. And I have to leave the door cracked just in case Dad want's to check up on us."

"That's fine." When they were done eating their pretzels they started to walk through the mall holding hands.

Mercedes, Artie and Tina were walking out of the music store when Mercedes spotted Kurt. When she pointed them out they saw that Kurt wasn't alone, that he was talking to Blaine and that they were holding hands.

"Who knew," Artie said as they watched them. When Blaine brought their joined hands up to his mouth and kissed the back of Kurt's Tina gasped.

"Oh that was so sweet. Why hasn't he told us?" Mercedes said as she sent her boy a text message along with a picture of them holding hands, smiling at each other.

=^._.^=

Kurt pulled out his cell when he heard it beep. When he saw the picture and read the message he just smiled. He looked in the direction that the message had come from. He saw Tina pushing Artie and Mercedes had her arms crossed over her chest. She looked upset. He'd deal with her once he got home. He just waved and went back to talking to Blaine.

When they were went into the GAP store Kurt didn't notice. Blaine walked over to a pair of jeans and dragged Kurt to the back where the dressing rooms were.
