Before I knew it Monday morning was here, and as much as I hated the thought of school anything was better than staring numbly at my ceiling. Which is what I had been doing since I walked in on-THAT! Santana tried to get coherent sentences out of me but my mouth had stopped working somewhere between the house and car, so instead she lay holding my hand until her mum called her to go home.Which then gave me plenty of time to wallow in my own tears-quite dramatic I know but come on!- the results were very puffy eyes, floppy hair and a not very well put together look for my standards. I was on autopilot as I walked through the halls and didn't even flinch as I was shoved back and forwards by jocks pushing past me, when I got to my locker thankfully Blaine or Santana weren't there meaning I could stand with my head shoved inside for a couple of minutes. I'm not quite sure how long I was doing this before I felt a hand grab me by the elbow and drag me backwards into the closest empty class.

"What the hell!" I scream turning for a fight that I'm really not in the mood for when I see Santana standing very close and Blaine sitting sulking to the side on a chair.

"You are going to sit your behind down and we are fixing this now!" She says forcefully putting me on a chair facing Blaine and sitting in between us.

We both tried to argue at the same time but she covered our mouths with her hands. "Don't even try it! As the only female significant other you two have and ever will! I get a say in this! It's senior fucking year! We are meant to be making memories of a life time and all that other shit.... And I want to make them with both of you in the same room because you're the only people that matter to me in this school-now why don't we start with what happened a few weeks ago...." She gives us both a warning look before gently lifting her hands, folding her arms across her body. I catch Blaine's eye for a second and then look away noticing his blushed face. I can do this! Not tell him how I feel but sort this stupid fight out, bending the truth a bit about Sebastian won't affect that!

"Ok.... Well Blaine thought when I said he is to wrapped up in Sebastian that I was saying I didn't like him- which isn't true I don't know him that well- but I don't hate him! I was just trying to say I miss spending time just us three..." I brave another glance at him then and see him looking a bit uncomfortable. "...so I'm sorry for what I said, that's what I was coming to say last night when..." I trail off not wanting to say it, saying it makes it real.

"I'm sorry too I didn't mean what I said I just got defensive! I just want you to be happy for me and like Seb because I like- no I think I love him! And you guys are just as important as he is to me!" Blaine reaches over to take my hand but pulls it back awkwardly at the last minute and this doesn't go unnoticed by Santana.

"Ok apologies are good! Why are you acting all prudish though? You never worry about hugging or touching each other?" She looks between us as we both avoid each other's eye gaze.

"Erm last night I kind of walked in on little Blaine having some..... Fun shall we say." I whisper as quietly as I can, while Blaine's hands fly to his face and he groans, I feel like I'm on fire and shuffle around on my chair as Santana looks confused for a second.

"Oh mi dios!" She looks at Blaine, "You swiped you v card? And THIS is how I find out! Top? Bottom? Position? Good? Is that why you were walking funny?" She starts rambling clearly excited by the news. Blaine on the other hand looks mortified.

"Tan I am not discussing that with you..."

"Why not?! I tell you...."

"And I try my hardest not to listen!"

"Fine!!" She huffs turning her attention on to me "So peachy... When you say little...how little are we talking?"

"Kurt don't you dare!" Blaine whines.

"Oh pipe down bumble! I'm not asking for a word, just say when..." She begins moving her fingers apart slowly watching me. "Seriously?.... No way.... You're shitting me... Ok now that's just getting farfetched!" As her arms nearly stretched out straight.

"I honestly didn't see! But if I did I would tell you-"

"Why!! You are lousy best friends!" Blaine whines and I chuckle as quietly as I can.

"You have to admit its a little funny hobbit!" And then I start to laugh because really it was a bit funny, taking my feelings out of the equation. I walked in on my naked best friend getting it on...if you don't laugh what else can you do?! "You could just give us a show now to let us see how little your magic wand is?"

"No!! And it is not little thank you very much! Kurt don't encourage her!" He jumps out of Santana's grip where she is trying to loosen his yellow belt and I jiggle in my seat trying to hold in the laugh I feel bubbling.

"Bumble lighten up! She's your best friend....you know how she gets!" I burst into a fit of giggles then and Santana follows me before Blaine gives in too. We stay like this, like normal, until the bell rings signalling it's time for home room. Santana grabs both our hands and squeezes them together.

"Friends and gays for life!" She kisses us both on the lips before dragging us out to class. I can't help but feeling that things might just be on the up and I put my Blaine feelings in the box and double lock it for now. What's that saying fake it till you make it? That's what I have to do, it's not that hard I've been living oblivious to my feelings for years! New start from today Kurt Hummel is going to make the most of his senior year!

********************

The rest of the day passes without too much drama, Blaine seemed to be acting normal again and only when Santana tried several more times to get Sunday nights details did it get a bit awkward. Glee club was a bit stressful practising dance routines over and over to get it right but having our little tripod back definitely helped, so when I got home I was relieved the day was over. I still hadn't heard from Dale but that could be easily resolved once Santana's plan was in motion. I sat on my bed with the laptop on my knees and pulled up the new directions chat log.

Santana: listen up boys, girls and everything in between! It's bumbles birthday on Saturday! Me and peachy were thinking scandals at 9! What says you?

Santana: and with that my work is done!

**Santana has logged out**

Kurt: Sorry Finn

Finn: Dad says hurry up for dinner

**Finn has logged out**

I shut down the laptop and move it to my desk picking up my phone on the way out of the room.

Hey chip! How was your day? Surprise party for Blaine on Friday...scandals at 9! You in? Xx

I send off the text and pocket my phone feeling nervous about his reply. But hide my feelings over dinner the last thing I need is Dad starting to ask questions.

After dinner I'm trying to get some homework done when I receive a text and smile seeing it's from Dale.

All the better now I heard from you ;-) sounds good you need a lift? Xx

Ok that was flirty definitely! I smile too myself at the thought of him lying on his couch in his grey sweats and no top with his slight muscles glistening after a bath I know he likes to have after a hard day.

Aww such a softie ;-) actually I'm the DD! Someone has to watch Tan! Want a lift? Xx

Definitely! You can look after a drunk me....just don't let me strip or anything! 8-/ xx

And let everyone miss on a chance to ogle your goodies... Actually that would make your nickname have a whole other meaning......xx

Are you picturing me naked right now floppy? Xx

Me? I'm an innocent young man! You're just trying to corrupt me with your wicked ways! Xx

Hmmmm! If you say so ;-) whatcha up to this week? Fancy grabbing a coffee one night? Xx

I can't! Between glee and this surprise party I'm gonna be busy all week! See you Friday I'll come get you at 8? Xx

Ok I'll survive till then I suppose.... Sob! Why 8? Xx

That means I have time to change whatever fashion crime you will try to commit and still manage to be there early! Xx

I'm hurt floppy! Xx

Night old man ;-) xx

Night perve! Try not to have too many good dreams about me ;-) xx

I put my phone on charge and flop onto my bed, that was definitely flirting via text and it made my heart race thinking about Friday night! It couldn't come quick enough!

**************

By the time I had picked up Dale and got to scandals I was a bag of nerves (10 outfit changes for me and 1 for Dale nervous). So walking in and seeing Santana making out across the bar with a blonde instead if organising our little booth did not help! This had to be perfect for our best friend, you only turn 18 once.... I stood still and screamed over the music.

"Tan!! Get your butt off the bar and help set up we have thirty minutes!!" She heard me but continued anyway. Ok time for the big guns..." How's that itch you've got by the way? The cream work?" Dale chuckled beside me and Aunty Satan appeared in full force.

"Don't think I can't find a good way to make you pay!" She squared up to me and groaned as I kissed her nose.

"You love me really....I'm amazing!" I emphasised as I walked over with my present to the booth as seductively as I could.

"In those jeans who wouldn't? Huh Abercrombie?" She nudged dale as I caught him staring.

"Erm- I just need to hit the head!" He mumbled before stalking to the restroom and Santana floated over to me.

"Phase 3 is well underway...."

"Tan he is just a flirty texter is all! Why would he like me?" True to form Dale's avoidance had started as soon as I got there, after slightly flirty texts all week. I didn't get it.

"Please!! I bet you he's whacking one out thinking of you right now!" She smirked at me.

"Urgh! Tan can you at least check whose around before you talk about my little bro like that...."

"Two months older than you Finn!" But I hug him regardless and the rest of the group as they walk over. "Also make use of these freakishly long arms and pin that in the wall!" I throw Santana a we'll talk about this later look and finish off the balloons we brought.

********************

An hour later Blaine was still sitting shocked (and a little tipsy) looking at us all with a dorky grin. Reiterating over and over that he can't believe we did this!

"Ok bee!" I start picking up my wrapped gift and pushing it towards him. "A little present from me and Tan!" He picks up the card first sliding it out and blushing at the very naked man on front.

"You're welcome bumble!" Tan slurs from behind me. "Read it out!" Blaine groans having already read it to himself. "Stand up to!!" He grudgingly does as she asks and clears his throat.

"To our friend bumble we love so much,

Your gel makes that helmet hard to touch!

This day is special don't you forget

Picturing you naked makes us really wet!

We'll buy you a shot or maybe eight,

If you need too puke we'd rather you wait!

You know that peachy will get really mad

If you're sick on his scarf...Remember Chad!

But that happened before we knew about beers

Happy bday & here's to the next fifteen years......" He took a bow and sat back down unwrapping the box to reveal a photo album filled with pictures of each of his birthdays since he was three, each one different except for the fact they were just of us! My little tripod! There was a space at the back for today's picture and Blaine looked up at us with a watery smile.

"Guys I love it!" He lunged across the table landing in my lap and pulling Santana in for a three way kiss. "Seb take our picture!" He screamed throwing his phone and knocking over a glass on the table. We all turned to face him, heads towered up like a totem pole and pulled a series of funny faces. After which Blaine jumped up and declared the song playing was his jam and all but ran to the dance floor.

"Time for phase 3....." Santana whispered in my ear before running off to join him. As I looked over at Dale he downed his drink, eyes never leaving mine and smiled at me.

**************

At around midnight I decide to take Dale home, but not before he had strutted his stuff along the bar as he stripped like a scene from coyote ugly. I walked up to where Blaine was currently lying on the floor and Sebastian was trying to convince him it was time to leave.

"Bumble bee, I'm going to take Dale home okay?" His eyes fluttered up to me and he smiled that trademark dorky grin of his.

"S'ok peachy! My s'bastian will take me's home! Look at his pretty eyes...." His babbling was highly amusing in my sober state. Sebastian stood looking embarrassed and annoyed and in this moment I was glad I wasn't in his shoes, they were horrid ones as well!

"Ok night night! Love you bumble!" I smiled as he tried to high five me with his foot.

"Loves you to peachy!" He giggled and began to babble incoherently. Sebastian sent me a look that meant I'll be fine but this is your fault and I mustered up my strongest bitch glare before storming away.

After letting everyone know I was leaving and prying Dale off of the top of the duke box and convincing him that no! He didn't need another shot for the road I got him to the car. A full two hour car ride later I got into his drive. In a journey that should take 40 minutes I had had to stop 10 times; twice so he could pee, twice so he could dance at a crossing, three times to buy food and three more times to get his clothes back on after stripping. Drunk dale was very amusing and a bit of hard work but cute enough to get away with it. I managed to get him inside and into bed and then ran to get him a basin and some water. When I got close enough to the bed he pulled me down beside him smiling at me.

"I like you floppy!" He mumbled stroking my face not very gently.

"Good! I like you too chip.... We are friends..." I trail off as he pokes me in the eye.

"No no no! I like you like you!" And I can't help but laugh.

"Did you turn in to a teenage girl at some point this evening?"

"No! I don't like girls there icky and have all the wrong parts" he tried to whisper that last part.... Tried being the main part of that sentence. "I like boys! Pretty boys like you!" His eyes looked into mine and I could see all the flecks of amber burning bright. "You know I don't care that you love bungle..."

"Bumble...... and you do! If you were sober you wouldn't be saying this...."

"Yeah I would! I had an piffany..... I don't care...."

"An epiphany...."

"That's what I said!" His hand returned to my face - that's right my face - stroking over my nose. "That I like you Kurt floppy Hummel and I'm going to make you like me too!" He nuzzled in to the crook of my arm and I sighed, knowing I should go home but really I was quite enjoying the feeling of him snuggled into me.

"Dale I like you too but I don't think this is fair to you, and I don't want you to regret it in the morning you know?" Dale didn't answer so I looked down to see him sleeping drooling slightly on my shirt. "Sleep tight old man..." I whispered hugging him close nod sending a text off to my dad telling him dale was in a bad way and I couldn't leave him. He replied almost instantly, obviously he had been up waiting on me coming home.

Ok kiddo, no funny stuff! Tell Dale I'll see him tomorrow when you guys come over. To the moon and back xx

I felt all warm and fuzzy knowing how lucky I was to have an understanding dad, and possibly the fact that Dale had admitted he liked me helped. I eventually drifted off to sleep knowing that tomorrow could possibly change everything.

***********

I woke awoken by a very loud bang pulling me out of my dreams. Sitting upright and snapping my eyes open I looked over to see Dale wasn't in the bed anymore, that's when I heard a soft groan. Peering over the edge of the bed I saw him star fished face first on the carpet. I had a small chuckle at the fact that he was naked trying to cover his ass up with a small alarm clock.

"Great you're laughing...." I heard muffled into the carpet. He didn't move just stayed there.

"Dale why are you on the floor?" I asked trying to stifle the laughter racking my body.

"....I fell trying to cover myself up..." Still he didn't move.

"Hate to break it to ya babe but after having to force your clothes back on you four times last night.... You're not such a jaw dropping sight..." I bit down on my lip trying to stop the giggles but it was useless.

"This is your fault! I warned you not to let me strip..." His arms flailing in my direction as the rest if his body stayed where it was.

"I didn't know you were serious!!" I chuckle.

"Well now you know! A few drinks has me thinking I'm Dita Von Tee..."

"Oh she doesn't strip in a bar shouting I'm a real man hear me roar!" I break then and try to muffle the gut wrenching laughs with a pillow. Dale however sits up slowly and slides under the covers as much as he can without flashing himself. Then he slumps his head on to his knee. "I also had no idea you were so flexible old man!" That solicited a groan from him and another as his hangover kicked in.

"Please don't tell me I did the splits?" He whined in a very adorable voice.

"You did....but I was talking about the limbo...." Another groan cut through my teasing.

"Kill me now.... I don't care how just do it!" He cried throwing his head and hands up.

"Don't worry the birthday boy caused even more of a scene people won't even remember..." He seemed to relax at that lightly placing his head next to my eye and I winced slightly, which caused him to look at me.

"Kurt!! What happened to your eye?" I reached over to grab a mirror and stared at the swollen eye in my reflection.

"That would be where my head was battered by your foot mid break dance... Don't worry! It not that bad!" He looks genuinely guilty and slightly green.

"I'm soo sor-"

"Dale it was an accident! No need to apologise." A silence filled the room as Dale was sitting fiddling with the duvet. I knew I had to broach the subject, it just didn't make it any easier. "About last night though.... You kind of said some things that I wanted to ask you about?" His head shot up hearing my serious tone. Looking at me with a mixture of nerves, worry and total confusion.

"I'm sorry if I said anything that embarrassed or offended you-"

"You didn't! It just...." I trailed off as his hand squeezed mine causing the army if butterflies to set up camp. "Well last night you kind of said that you like me..."

"Of course I like you! We are friends" dale piped up. Ok so I'm going to have to be blunt.

"No you said you liked me.... And coupled with that kiss last week.... I just wanted to know where your heads at?" I looked at him as he thought for a minute...say something now, anything!

"Well.... I do like you Kurt! As much as I tried to not think about it I- it's always in my mind... I just don't want to force anything on you.... What with... Everything that you have going on just now. I tried to push that kiss out if my head but I can't and if that means we can't be friends anymore then I get it...." He looks devastated as he finishes his speech taking his hands off of mine and playing with the duvet again. I turn to face him sitting on my knees.

"Dale I like you too but... Given the other things I am feeling right now I just don't know if it's a good or fair idea to start anything with us... What if none of my feelings change? What if I get accepted to NYADA? What if-" I'm cut off as Dales lips find mine in a searing kiss. My hands find his hair trying to melt in closer and give as good as he was. This seemed to spur him on as his tongue looked for entrance between my lips which I happily granted with a soft moan, eventually we pulled apart breathless just looking at each other.

"Whoa...." Dale eventually drawled out and it hung in the air between us, I could feel his breath against my face.

"What does this mean-" I was cut off by his hand this time covering my mouth as he lent his nose forward to touch my own.

"Let's save this conversation for when I'm fully clothed ok! Besides we have lunch with your dad in an hour!" As I nod he takes his hand away from my mouth and plants a sweet kiss to my nose, running off to the shower with as much grace as a naked man can. Istare after him until my phone buzzes behind me on the table.

Long-time Tan xox

Bee let's just say you had a very memorable birthday....ask Tan to fill you in ;-) love you <3

Long time.... Was it that bad? <3

A cough from the doorway makes me put my phone down as dale walks back in, dressed in only a towel. His hair sticking up on end, muscles clearly defined and his cheeks were flushed pink. Oh I'm staring! I really need to get a handle on those things! Dale just shuffled about looking busy picking out clothes.

"Sooooo" I drag out not quite sure what I'm saying next until it's out there. "Are you my boyfriend now?" My eyes fly wide open and so do Dales as he rushes to sit on the bed. "I'm sorry! I don't know where that came from!" I mumble trying my best not to look at him.

"Hey! Don't be embarrassed... I would love to be if that's what you want?" He nudges my side but I keep my head firmly in place just in case this is a practical joke. "Kurt?? Look at me?" I cave at his flirty tone and when I see that smirk my heart speeds up.

"I-I-do you really?"

"I think I told you that the first time we met ...."

"That was drunk Kurt! I never trust what drunk Kurt says...."

"Well I happen to love drunk Kurt! Don't mind just Kurt either...."

"Well I happen to love drunk Dale.....you're ok I suppose..." I joke rolling my eyes as he pretends to sob into his hands.

"You wound me! But I will forgive you if you say yes..." Despite the just I can feel the heat rising from his face.

"Does that make you my ball and chain?" I smirk at him with as much sass that I can muster with the way he's looking at me.

"Kurt?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up!" He whispers before closing the distance between us. But I push him back quickly.

"Is this how you treat all your men?" But I give him another peck

"Only" kiss "save it" kiss "for you!" Kisses are peppered across my face and I snort despite myself.

"Dale?"

"Yes?"

"Get ready before my dad kills you for being late and dating his son...." His face turns serious and jumps off the bed.

"Yes sir!" He salutes before throwing on some pants. Then freezing on the spot. "Oh wait I forgot about your dad! Can we just call us quits?" He mimics strangling himself with his hands.

"Fine! Just don't get jealous if I start dry humping strangers in front of you FRIEND...." He's on me like a flash squeezing me tightly to his chest.

"My floppy! Mine!!" He kisses the top of my head. "Even if your dad castrates me!"

"Oh the romance!" I place my hand on my head feigning a faint.

"Hey I'm nothing if not a gent babe!" He slaps my ass gently and gets up to pull on his shoes and coat.

"Oh how lucky I am to have a fossil like you as my boyfriend....." He stops and smiles at me then.

"Say it again..."

"Fossil?" He shakes his head eyes never leaving mine "boyfriend?" He pounced on me once more capturing my lips in a soft kiss that turns heated very quickly.

We could be a little late for lunch.....

******************

Lunch went surprisingly well, Finn avoided my eye for most of it but I suppose texting him about appreciation of all asses would do that to your straight little bro.... Dad was on his best behaviour and sat looking not too surprised when we told him. All in all a good day! It was still hard to let Dale go home, but he had to work unfortunately for me. This was how me and Dad were sitting alone in the kitchen (Finn was at Rachel's and Carole had to work) on opposite sides of the breakfast island.

"So you and Dale huh?" My dad was very good at not giving much away in his facial expressions so u couldn't tell where this was going.

"Yeah pretty much..." I took a swallow of my coffee not knowing how to respond.

"Do we, uh, need to go over anything?" There it was!

"No dad I'm good!" I flush deep red I do not need the talk again! I'm still scarred from the last one!

"Ok- well just remember that- you-"

"Matter I know! I know!"

"Good! Well just so you know... I'm real happy for ya kiddo!" He patted my shoulder and I felt overwhelming love flow through me. "Dales a great guy, just don't rush into anything you hear?"

"Thanks dad! I love you..."

"To the moon and back..." As I hugged my dad I couldn't think if anything better than this. And had a whole new Optimism for how my life was going to work out! Today was a good to be Kurt Hummel!
