Wes suddenly held his arms out. He looked like a little kid as he did so. Luckily, Blaine knew what he was looking for and went into his arms. He then gave him a big hug, leaning over him, with his forehead touching Wes’ head. He knew that Wes felt secure when someone cuddled him as if he was their whole world. Wes knew that Kurt was most of Blaine’s world, but he still loved that Blaine could make him feel so safe.

            Wes thanked Blaine and said, “I told my parents that being gay was not a disease. But even if it was, I wouldn’t be catching it as I was as sure of me being straight as I was of my parents loving me. I then made them promise not to ditch David as we had promised each other to be ‘bros for life’ which couldn’t happen if they continued with their madness.”

            Jeff and Nick were flabbergasted. They couldn’t believe that Wes’ parents were pressuring him so much that he had to deny the main part of his personality. And then a few more puzzle pieces fell into place regarding why Wes and David could not date.

            Wes gave off a loud sigh. It was obvious to everyone that this part of the story upset him like anything. The others felt bad for him. Jeff said, “Let’s leave the topic for some time. We’ll go out, have lunch and then if you want, we can continue talking then.”

            Blaine tried to make the environment happier by saying, “Does anyone want to listen to the theme I decided for Kurt’s party? Huh?” With no answer of approval, he pouted, only to hear Nick say, “Let him say it. He’ll burst if he doesn’t.” He smiled at Nick and shouted, “BROADWAY!!”

            Wes applauded and said, “A wise choice. You know your boyfriend very well. Anyway, where are we going now?”

Jeff said, “Pasta corner. I’m really in the mood for some lasagna.”

Nick smirked at him and said, “Do you hate Mondays as well?” And immediately got a beating for comparing his boyfriend to an orange tabby cat.

Blaine started to leave, only to be pulled back by Wes, who gestured to the bathroom. He got the hint and told everyone to wait for David to come out of the bathroom before all of them left together for lunch.

            As they waited, Blaine called up Finn. He waited as Finn’s caller tune started playing.  The call duration was about to get over when Finn finally picked up saying, “What’s up, dude?”

            Blaine laughed into the phone and said, “If I were my boyfriend, I would be screaming at you not to call me dude. But I won’t scream, don’t worry.”

            Finn also laughed and asked, “So what happened that you’re calling me? Do you wanna play COD with me and the guys again?”

“No, but…”

“Did Kurt’s phone lose its charge and you want to talk to him? Cuz dude, if you guys are gonna have phone sex, I really don’t wanna listen to you guys moaning…”

“No, Finn! Did Mercedes talk to you about the party?”

“Wait, which party? Oh yeah, the surprise one you’re throwing for Kurt, right? She told me about that. What do I have to do? I can’t keep track of things. You know that.”

“The only thing you have to do is make your girlfriend keep Kurt cooped up. Because he can sniff out a sneak party very easily. I do know him well. So, would you?”

“Sure, anything for my baby bro.”

            What was Kurt doing all this time, you may ask? Well, Kurt was hanging out with Brittany. He had a soft spot for her in his heart. This was not only because she was his ex-girlfriend and was the deciding factor for the fact that he wasn’t even bisexual, much less straight.

             It was because she was the only one besides Finn who had kept in touch with him when he had transferred to Dalton. And Finn didn’t count, seeing how they lived in the same house and most of the texts were about when he was going to come home and whether he would cook waffles for him or something. Albeit the fact that she usually sent texts which made no sense, like some facts about dolphins, or about what she and Santana were doing together (which he would delete immediately because pussy just didn’t do it for him anymore) or the sad ones, where she would state some incident and mention that she wished he would have been there.

            So, he texted her back, asking her how the Cheerios were doing, would give her advice to keep her hands soft after they got slightly calloused and so on. Kurt loved Brittany’s texts because he and Mercedes were slightly drifting apart. Best friends were people who stuck to you, sun, rain, hail or storm. Even now, Mercedes kept a grudge that Kurt did not tell her first that he was transferring to Dalton but told her with the rest of the Club. She did realize it later and tried to make amends, but going for coffee with him and a girl he used to detest was not what he thought as trying to make it right.

            However, Kurt knew that it was his fault in a way. He was blinded by Blaine’s obliviousness to his crush on him and then his returning the same feelings to keep up contact himself. So, when Mercedes called him up saying that she wanted to buy some new clothes for summer and needed an expert eye, he decided to agree and go with her. After all, he didn’t want her to end up buying something similar to the zebra-print jacket she used to love when they had first met.

            As Mercedes came to his house, Kurt couldn’t help but smile, thinking of all the good memories they had together, and he hugged her.
