It was Thursday morning and Kurt stood in front of his locker and checked his hair in the little mirror inside his locker. He took the can of hairspray which he was always taking with him and sprayed some on his, already perfectly styled, hair.

It had taken him a lot longer to decide for one outfit and to style his hair this morning and Kurt exactly knew the reason for it: Blaine. He really wanted to look good for Blaine and he hoped that he didn't look as nervous as he really was. The whole morning Kurt's heart had been beating a lot faster than usual and Kurt thought it was very stupid. They only hugged one time! But for Kurt this silly, little hug meant a lot. No boy was ever hugging him. The boys in Glee club liked to have a safety distance between themselves and him, the gay boy. They never said anything like that to Kurt but he felt it. Finn was no exception: He was always friendly and it wasn't like they never talked to each other but Finn avoided to have to much body contact like sitting to close to him on the couch or something. And Kurt hated it, he hated that everyone of the boys acted like he was kind of poisonous. So Kurt figured out that his lack of body contact to other boys was the reason for his excitement about Blaine's hug. Nothing more and nothing less. He stopped fixing his hair and shut his locker determined. He started walking towards the class room and tried to clam his nerves with repeating the same sentences over and over again. There's nothing to be excited about! Blaine hugged you and you liked it! But you don't have a crush on him, you just want to be his friend!

But as he entered his classroom and saw Blaine sitting at one of the tables, looking way to gorgeous he knew that he was lying to himself: He totally had a crush on Blaine!

As Blaine, who had been reading something, looked up and his gaze fell on Kurt standing in the door way, his face lit up and he smiled sweetly at Kurt. Kurt felt a flip in his stomach and took one deep breath before he walked towards Blaine to take the empty seat next to him.

“Hey Kurt, nice to see you”, Blaine said when Kurt was close enough to hear him.

Kurt smiled at him: “Nice to see you too! I didn't know we had English together!”

“Oh, me neither but I'm happy to have some classes with you!”, he said.

Kurt raised one eyebrow at that, smiling, and Blaine blushed and looked down at the table.

Kurt felt like he had to say something, so he answered very shyly: “I'm happy to spent some of my school time with you too.”

Blaine looked at him, his checks still a little pink, and smiled very sweetly at him. There was a silence and both of them looked down at their hands not knowing what to say. Just then their teacher entered the room and Kurt felt like he had never been this happy to see his teacher. They started with the lesson and did some of the work together, smiling all the time at each other. At the end of the lesson the teacher told them about a project she wanted to do and said that everyone needed a partner for this. Kurt and Blaine immediately looked at each other and blushed a little bit.

“Uh,do you maybe want to do the project....with me?”, Blaine asked slowly. “But if you don't want to it's okay.”, he added quickly, his gaze dropping to his hands.

Kurt looked at him surprised: “Of course I want to do this project with you. Don't be silly!” He smiled warmly at Blaine when he looked up and the other boy hesitantly smiled back.

When the bell rang, they packed their things and left the classroom to attend their next classes. Kurt had French next and Blaine had physics. After they agreed to spend their lunch break together they said goodbye and headed to their classes.

When the lunch break began, Kurt hurried to the cafeteria to meet Blaine in time. Blaine was already standing in front of it waiting for Kurt. After they greeted each other, they got their food and walked towards the table where the whole Glee club was seating. Kurt took his usual seat next to Mercedes and motioned Blaine to sit next to him. Kurt felt somebody's gaze on him and turned his head to Mercedes who was smirking at him. He nudged her with his elbow and frowned at her. But she only laughed and continued to argue with Rachel who was talking about being the greatest star in Lima. Kurt only rolled his eyes and started to eat.

After a while Blaine asked Kurt: “So,when will we meet?”

A few of the New Directions looked at them surprised and interested, so Blaine, blushing a little bit, quickly added: “For our English project, I mean.”

Kurt ignored the staring eyes on them and tried to not to show his excitement as he spoke: “We could meet today. Maybe in the Lima Bean?”, he asked.

“Yeah, we could get some coffee then. Yeah,that sounds nice.”, Blaine answered happily and smiled.

Kurt smiled back and ate his salad. Brittany then began to talk about her weekend and Kurt quickly joined the conversation. After a while Blaine joined in too. They laughed a lot until the lunch break ended. Kurt stood up then and walked with everyone out of the cafeteria.

“See you in Glee club, guys!”, he said and smiled at them. After giving Blaine a special smile, he turned around and walked towards the classroom to attend his class.

Everybody was already there, when Kurt entered the choir room and Kurt plumed down on the chair between Blaine and Mercedes.

“Hey guys!”, he said smiling at them.

“Hy”, Blaine said smiling back.

“Hey Kurt”, Mercedes said. “We were just talking about you!”

Kurt blushed and looked at her questioningly. “What were you talking about?”

“Okay, actually we didn't talk about you but about the song you're going to sing today”, Mercedes explained and winked at him. “I really want to know what it is!”

Kurt smiled: “You're going to hear it when Mr Shue is here! Until then you've to wait.”

He then turned to Blaine who had been quiet while he talked to Mercedes. “How were your lessons?”

Blaine pulled a face: “In fact okay but in math I had to work with one of the jocks and he didn't know anything so I had to do all the work. And he insulted me for being in Glee club.” He shrugged his shoulders. “But the other classes were okay.”

“Don't listen to the jocks.”, Kurt said. “They just have nothing to do instead of insulting us or throwing slushies at us!”

Blaine looked at him confused: “Slushies?”

“Yeah”, Kurt answered and shrugged. “They like to throw them over your head if you don't watch out! So be carefully and avoid contact with them!” He winked at Blaine.

Mr Schuster then came into the room. “Hey guys, I'm sorry for being late!” He looked at each of them and smiled. “Kurt, do you want to start?”

Kurt nodded and climbed off his chair and walked towards the center of the room. He really wanted to do this number even if normally he would chose something else to perform like a song from a musical or something. He was a little bit unsure what the others would think about his performance but then the music started and he switched into his performer mode and began to sing.

Na, na, na, na, na

Come on!

Na, na, na, na, na

Come on!

He then started to dance, moving his hips to the music. He enjoyed the surprised expression on everybody's face, especially on Blaine's who was watching him with big eyes and Kurt started to feel more confident.

Feels so good being bad (Oh oh oh oh oh)

There's no way I'm turning back (Oh oh oh oh oh)

Now the pain is my pleasure 'cause nothing could measure(Oh oh oh oh oh)

Mr Shue was the only one who knew about his song choice and he smiled at him encouragingly. When the refrain began, Kurt was totally in his element and felt again like he was one with the music.

'Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it

Sex in the air, I don't care, I love the smell of it

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But chains and whips excite me

The surprise on everybody's face had quickly turned to enthusiasm and everybody was clapping in tact to the music and to Kurt's dancing. Blaine looked really impressed and Kurt wanted this moment never to end. He gave everything in the last few lines and ended the song.

S-S-S & M-M-M

S-S-S & M-M-M

S-S-S & M-M-M

S-S-S & M-M-M

Everybody was clapping enthusiastically and Kurt bowed a few times before Mr Shue raised his voice: “Wow, Kurt that was....”, he made a little pause like he was searching for words. “amazing!”, he said still clapping.

Kurt smiled at him and returned to his seat. Everybody was shouting his compliments to him and Kurt felt amazing. Blaine was still watching him with big eyes and I took him a moment to find the right words.

“Wow,that was.......impressing.”, Blaine said. “Perfect. Your voice it perfect and..”, Blaine blushed a little bit. “...I liked the...ühm...performance!”

Kurt then blushed too but smiled at him. “Thank you!”, he said softly and felt his heart beating a little bit faster.

This day had been totally great, Kurt decided. He hadn't had any problems with any of the jocks, he had a reason to meet Blaine again and everybody liked his performance! And to make the day even more perfect, he was going to meet Blaine later, alone!

The smile on Kurt's lips stayed there through the whole Glee club meeting.
