It was Saturday night and sure enough Kurt had agreed to a night with the girls. This, of course, left Blaine moping in his room watching Disney movies and suffering through Kurt withdrawal. As soon a Nick, Blaines roommate, escaped to hang out with Jeff and avoid mopey Blaine, Wes and David knocked on Blaines door.
"Come in!" they heard Blaine call, followed by a murmur. They looked at one another confused, but their thoughts were answered when they opened the door and found Blaine on the phone.
"Yeah, I hope you have a great time. Me? Im watching some Disney and Wes and David just got here so either theyre going to join me or Im going to have to talk them out of something stupid. Yeah." Blaine laughed. "Okay, Ill speak to you tomorrow. Have a great time! Oh and say hi to the girls for me! Okay. Bye... Bye."
Blaine hung up and looked over to where Wes and David stood by the door. "Sorry, that was just-"
"Kurt," Wes finished for him. "Sorry to interrupt your phone call."
"No its cool. He was on hands free and he had just got to Mercedes house so he had to go anyway."
"Right, well, mind if we join you?" David asked.
"Feel free," Blaine said with a smile.
Wes and David looked at one another and grinned, before jumping either side of Blaine on his bed. With it being a small bed, they ended up practically on top of Blaine.
"I swear you guys arent 100% straight!" Blaine laughed.
"Why dont you ask our girlfriends, Mr Anderson!" David smirked.
"Because I really dont want to hear that sort of information about you two, thank you very much!"
"Well, at least we know you dont have those sort of thoughts about us! Now what are we watching?" Wes said.
"Pinocchio!"
Wes and David looked at one another again, both seemingly confused.
"Blaine, I dont know if this occurred to you, but you hate that movie!" Wes reminded him.
"In fact, I remember when you first got here and one of the guys suggested we watched it and you told them that the film should be sued for the crime of sucking and the only person with an interest in someone whose nose grows is Lord Voldemort!" David added.
"A guys allowed to change his mind isnt he?" Blaine said, his focus completely on the screen. David and Wes continued to share confused glances. "And anyway, Kurt wanted to watch it earlier and we never finished it so I said I would and tell him what I thought tomorrow."
That explains.
"So how are things going with Kurt?" Wes asked. Blaine tore his gaze from the screen to look at his friend confusedly, but Wes could see something else there.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you guys seem really close," David cleared up for him.
"Yeah, hes my best friend," Blaine said. Wes and David automatically pouted. "You guys know what I mean. You know youre my best friends but its different with Kurt."
"And thats because..." David prompted.
"Because he gets me. He gets what Ive been through and understands how I think. Hes just... I know I can talk to you guys about anything, but Im always worried that Ill make you uncomfortable or you wont understand something. With Kurt, I dont have to worry."
"As endearing as that is, like you said, you can talk to us. And dont worry, we wont get uncomfortable. So, cmon. Talk," Wes demanded.
"What do you mean?" Blaine asked, crinkling his forehead.
"About Kurt. About the way you feel about him."
"Like I said, hes my best friend..." Blaine started, but David interrupted.
"Cut the crap, Blaine. Wes is my best friend and hey, Wes, what do you do if I suggest a film you hate?"
"I say no damn way unless you want to watch it on your own!" Wes answered.
"And how often do we go on coffee dates?"
"Never. We only normally get coffee if were on a long drive and even then we literally just get coffee and go."
"And what would you do if I asked to sing a cute flirty duet with you?"
"Probably laugh."
"And what would you do in those situations with Maria?"
Wes thought of his reaction to those situations if it was his girlfriend. "Probably the same as Blaine does with Kurt," he admitted.
"You see?"
Blaine looked between his two friends with a raised eyebrow. "And whats the point youre trying to make?"
David sighed. "The point were making is that you and Kurt act more like a couple than best friends. Thats the point!"
"Were just really close," Blaine insisted. "Were comfortable around each other!"
"Do you see Kurt as like a brother?" Wes asked curiously.
"What? No, thats weird!"
"Whys that weird? Davids my best friend and hes like a brother to me."
"Yeah, well thats different. Its weird to think of Kurt as brother."
"Why?" David prompted,
"Because I..."
Blaine paused, his face distorting with thought. And then finally, Blaine got the look that Wes and David were waiting for. The look they had hoped hed get from this conversation.
The look of realisation.
"Oh my God," Blaine muttered. "Shit. Shit. Shit."
Wes and David grinned at each other, before Wes asked, "Blaine, are you okay?"
Blaine, however, didnt appear to be listening. He was too busy muttering incoherently to himself.
"Blaine!" Wes called and Blaines head snapped up. "Are you okay?"
"How did I not realise this before?" he questioned, ignoring Wes question.
"Realise what, Blaine?" David asked.
"That I like Kurt!" Blaine yelled. As soon as he said it, he slapped his hand over his mouth. David and Wes just grinned and high fived one another.
"Wait. You knew?" Blaine asked.
"Blaine. I think the only people who didnt know were you and Kurt," David told him. Blaine groaned.
"What the hell am I meant to do now? Were meant to be watching movies tomorrow! I cant just sit there and pretend I dont like him now that I know I do!"
"Dont you worry your curly little head of Blainers. Were here to help!" Wes assured him.
"Guys. I dont mean to be rude or anything, but remember Thad and Melissa? Covered in flour and still single."
"Oh god. Were going to take that to our graves!" Wes groaned.
"But," David interjected, "thats not going to happen and do you know why?"
"Why?" Blaine asked.
"Because we have some information you may just want to hear!"
"Wheres Kurt? Hes usually the first here," asked Tina when she entered Mercedes room.
"I asked him to come later. And if he asks you all just got here early!" Mercedes explained.
"Why? Whats going on?"
"Okay, girls," Mercedes started. "I need your help with something, but you have to promise you wont tell Kurt."
The girls murmured their promises and Mercedes held her little finger out to Brittany. She knew the only way to make sure Brittany wouldnt break that promise was to pinky swear, because she believed that if you broke a pinky swear then your little fingers fell off.
"So, a couple of Kurts friends called me the other day and asked if Id help them with a plan," Mercedes explained.
"What kind of plan?" asked Rachel.
"I believe they called it The 7 Step Plan To Getting Your Two Oblivious Gay Friends Together."
"Bit of a long name, isnt it?" piped up Quinn.
"Thats what I said."
"So what does this plan involve?" said Santana as she absentmindedly raked her fingers through Brittanys loose hair. "Hopefully, Hummel getting some of the hot hobbit!"
"Well, theyve only told me the first two steps. Step one has been done. I think Wes called step one Attain Allies which basically involved getting me involved so their plan would work on Kurts side too. Now I need your help with step two. Step two is Obliviate The Oblivious."
"Im sorry, but who came up with these names?" Rachel asked, suppressing a giggle.
"I think it was Wes. David, who was the other guy I spoke to, didnt see to know the full plan yet. Anyway. Step two basically involves getting Kurt to realise that he likes Blaine, and if he already has then we need to get him to admit it."
"Cant we just tickle him until he does?" Brittany piped up.
"No, Brit. We need to get him to openly admit it," Mercedes told her.
"Well girls," said Tina, "why dont we just do our open circle?"
"What the hell is an open circle?" Quinn questioned.
"Its something we did when we first started glee," Rachel explained. "Back before you three joined, Tina, Mercedes, Kurt and I used to have sleepovers and one thing we did to get to know each other was open circle. We basically told each other secrets or asked each other questions, but we had to be 100% honest. If you dont feel comfortable saying something, you just dont."
"Wow. This feels more like therapy than a sleepover. Cant we just get him really drunk and get him to admit it?" Santana complained.
"Santana we dont even have any alcohol," Mercedes reminded her.
"I have contacts..."
Before Mercedes could comment, the doorbell rang announcing Kurts arrival. After a quick reminder of the plan and to look as if they just got here, Mercedes rushed down the stairs and flung the door open.
"Kurt!" she cried and jumped into his arms, causing him to drop his bags and he wrap his arms around her.
"Ah, Mercedes! Ive missed you so much!"
"You too, white boy," she said. "Now cmon. Everyone else just got here!"
When they got upstairs, everyone was up and acting as if theyd only just arrived. Mercedes couldnt help but smile at their cooperation.
"Hey, girls!" Kurt called when he entered, and was immediately drowned in a tidal wave of hugs and I miss yous. "Sorry I was a bit late. I was watching a movie with Blaine and didnt realise the time."
A series of subtle knowing looks spread over the girls faces, but went unnoticed by Kurt.
"Its okay. I have everything ready. We thought wed watch movies with our face masks and then maybe do an open circle?"
"An open circle? We havent done one of those for a while," Kurt said.
"Its about time we did one, dont you think?" Rachel said. "Now, get in your pjs so we can start!"
5 minutes, a pair of silk pyjamas and 7 green faces later and the girls and Kurt were on and around Mercedes bed deciding on movie.
"The Notebook!" suggested Rachel.
"What about P.S I Love You?" said Tina.
"The Little Mermaid?" piped up Kurt.
All the girls turned to stare at him.
"What happened to The Little Mermaid is a disgrace for a Disney film. Its just about a girl who goes around in her bra, has hair thats obviously from a bottle- no one has hair that red- and is willing to give up her family and friends for a guy shes never properly met. What does that teach kids?" Rachel rattled off in a bad imitation of Kurts voice.
"Ive watched it a lot recently and its kind of grown on me," Kurt admitted. He was met with the raised eyebrows of 6 girls. "What? Its Blaines favourite film!"
He looked confused at the way the girls continued to stare at him, but Santana broke the silence by announcing, "Screw it! Were watching New Moon. I wants me some half naked werewolves!"
When the film had finished, they started their open circle. They began by sharing anything they wanted to get off their chests, including Mercedes admitting she had a crush on a boy named Andrew in the football team, Tina admitting she wanted she wanted to go all the way with Mike (to which Santana rolled her eyes and muttered something which sounded vaguely like theyve been dating for months, why has that not happened yet?) and Rachel admitting she was worried about nationals and whether or not theyd even place. To the girls disappointment, Kurt didnt come clean to anything, so they thought theyd start with the questions.
"Kurt?" Tina said. "What kind of thing do you look for in a guy?"
Kurt looked thoughtful for a moment, before saying, "Well, the sort of things I look for is someone whos there for me. Someone who spends time with me. Someone who can make me laugh and knows how to cheer me up. I think its cute when guys are slightly dorky and arent afraid to admit theyve seen one too many Disney movies. I like guys who understand me and dont judge me on my obsession with fashion. Someone Im comfortable around and feel like I can be myself with. Someone - what?"
The girls were all grinning at Kurt, apart from Brittany who just looked confused.
"Kurt, you kind of just described Blaine," Mercedes informed him.
"What?"
"You just described Blaine," she repeated. "Everything you just said is what youve told me about Blaine."
"I-I..." Kurt stuttered, before stopping himself and glancing at the floor in thought.
"Kurt, do you like Blaine?" Rachel asked.
"Of course I do. Hes my best friend!"
"You know what she means," Mercedes said. "Do you like Blaine as more then a best friend?"
"I... Yes," Kurt admitted.
A series of whoops and cheers emitted from the girls.
"Get some, Hummel," commented Santana.
"Is Blaine going to be your new dolphin, Kurt?" Brittany asked.
"No, Brit," Kurt replied.
"Wait! No? Why not?" Quinn said.
"Because for that to happen, Blaine would have to like me back. And there is no way he does."
"Right, boo," said Mercedes. "Looks like we need some girl talk!"
