Quinns little spat with Kitty was a godsend for Kurt.

After Adams hurtful rejection, Kurt grabbed the first guy he saw looking at him and that had been a horrible mistake.

For starters, the guy ended up only being a lowly freshman on the swim team - definitely not of Kurts usual caliber. Then it turned out the guy was either a virgin, straight and curious, or just plain awful at making out because he had no idea how to make Kurt feel good. There was entirely too much teeth and tongue going on and he couldnt align his lips with Kurts to save his life. Then of course, there was the fact that Blaine had been watching.

Kurt as a sophomore in college was so different from Kurt as a sophomore in high school. In high school he would have never made out with random guys, let alone felt confident enough in himself to make any moves on anyone. He was a shy, insecure, baby penquin that couldnt even say the word cock without blushing ten shades of red. High school Kurt thought his relationships would be all romance and sweet kisses and hand holding. Cheer changed that. Popularity changed that. Maturity changed that.

He knew he looked good now, and he knew how to use that to his advantage. Quinn and Brittany had shown him how to flaunt his body, how to dress to impress, and, most importantly, how to make a man desire him and know it.

He could see by the way Blaine looked at him that Blaine wanted him. Maybe not consciously, but Blaines eyes were blacked out and even from across the room Kurt could see way Blaines lips parted, the way he lifted up his chin, and the slight thrust outward of his chest. Kurt had looked Blaine over as the swim team freshman nibbled awkwardly on his neck, wondering if he knew how to use that body of his like Kurt knew how to use his own. Blaine certainly couldnt be any worse than the inept make-out rookie Kurt had gnawing on his collarbone.

So when Quinn and Kitty started going at it, Kurt pushed the kid off him and went to Quinns aid, happy to not have to make up an excuse to get rid of whats-his-name.

"I cant believe you… going at it so publicly with a freshman like Kitty. Whats wrong with you?" Kurt scolded his friend as they left the party, pulling his shirt back on after speaking.

"She brought up things that happened in high school."

Kurt rolled his eyes and kept up the pace, knowing that he and Quinn had a long line of followers. Theyd continue the party at whatever campus club they came by first. Bouncers were not above a little bribery to let the underaged in.

"You need to either get over it or deal with it in a better way Quinn. We have a reputation to consider and you cant let her drag you down like that."

"But Ive been able to start fresh here…. Santana would have never said anything… but Kitty… I cant trust her."

"Well youre either going to have to try and trust her or have an awkward, but civil, conversation with her. Were heading into competition season and I dont want to see you benched for doing something regrettable."

The mostly inaudible grumble beside him was as much affirmation as he got out of Quinn.

"Hey Kurt!"

Brittany had bounded up to his other side, high ponytail bouncing behind her. "Why did we leave? I didnt even get to finish my game of scrabble!"

Kurt chuckled. "Too much drama."

"But youre a musical theater major. I thought you liked drama."

"Not that kind Brit. Anyhow, well find a new spot to continue the party. One with less Spartans to worry about."

"Is this about Santana and Kitty?"

Kurt nodded her way, noting that on his either side Quinn was still silently stewing. Stewing was good for her though. It meant she was thinking seriously. It was when she loud that she was irrational.

Brittany sighed, "I wish we could just be friends with them again."

"Maybe one day Brit… but it wont be today."

"I had the word quixotry ready to go on my game too…."

Quinn looked over, "Thats not a word Brit."

"It totally is."

"Not."

"Kurt. Tell her it is."

Kurt just shrugged between them. "Not getting into another battle of what is and isnt a word. Use the internet to figure it out. I lost last time taking Quinns side on zymurgy and before that I lost taking Brittanys side on vegate. Im not getting into it anymore."

"You know what is a word? Desire. It means to covet, wish, or long for." Quinn said, a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"I think Brit and I both know that one Quinn. Get to the point youre wanting to make."

"As in, I saw the way you and Blaine were making eyes at one another. You desire him."

Kurt blanched and his jaw hung open for a minute before snapping at Quinn, "You dont even know what you saw!"

"Spartans cant date Sirens." Brittany said on his other side, quoting the unwritten rules of SCU cheer.

"I know that! Since when do I date anyhow?!"

"Just looking out for you Kurt. If I saw it, then its possible someone else did too. You cant tell me to monitor myself if you cant do the same."

Kurt groaned and stared up at the stars overhead. "Fine. But I was just looking at him because he was eyeing me up. Not the other way around."

"Just watch it. Wouldnt want people to talk."

Kurt shook his head at the sky. It was SCU. It was cheer. People would talk regardless of whether or not anything or nothing happened.

Hows that? You guys going to fumble and get out of sync even more than usual? Is that even possible?

Statistically speaking, it is possible, but without specific parameters it would be difficult to estimate to what degree. Unless we had a database that accurately recorded individual Spartan skill levels and probabilities of failure, as well as any limiting factors, we could not reasonably hypothesize anything.

It was a jibe Brit….

FondueForMew
Oh! Carry on then.

AuntieSnix
Have I ever told you how endearing you are when you talk mathy Brit?

FondueForMew
Endearing… not as good as bewitching or captivating when it comes to improving your word score. Ill take it though.
