Author's Notes: 3 updates in a day. Wow. Let's aim for 4, shall we? ;)
The weekend was going by so slow and it was only Saturday. A part of Kurt wished he had homework to do, any work really, while the other part of him knew that doing homework was one of few very poor ways of dealing with boredom. But when Rachel called Kurt and asked to meet at the school's auditorium to discuss the list of songs for his second solo, Kurt didn't care that it was Rachel he was meeting – he just needed a reason to get out of the house.

Finn was at the mall with Sam and Puck while Burt was working at the car repair shop. Carole had called just this morning to tell everyone she wouldn't be home till Wednesday. Rachel seemed the only one to be able to spend time with Kurt. Kurt would think Rachel would be with Finn, but he found out the two agreed to not only focus on each other and spend more time with their friends. Which Kurt, as much as he couldn't believe he was admitting this, was pretty impressed with.

Kurt closed his laptop and got out of bed, shrugging out of his pajamas to get a quick shower. After applying various creams to his face and various gels to his hair to form it to perfection, Kurt dressed in a black dress shirt, white blazer, black sailors scarf, and black leather jeans along with his new black leather boots. He grabbed his father's car keys and drove over to the school.

The door to the auditorium was wide open as Kurt walked through it, hearing Rachel's voice. She was talking to someone.

“No, that song wouldn't do his voice any justice,” said Rachel.

Kurt walked on stage and found Blaine at the piano and Rachel resting her elbows on the piano, looking through a stack of music sheets.

Rachel looked at Kurt and gave him a big smile. “I was beginning to think you'd never come,” she said. Rachel walked over and handed a list of three songs for Kurt to choose from. One song had been completely scratched out, leaving two songs to choose from.

Kurt blinked at Rachel. “Are you serious? This is what you guys came up with for my second solo?” asked Kurt in a blank voice, finally making eye contact with Blaine only to find himself blushing and immediately thinking about their kiss yesterday.

Rachel rolled her eyes at Kurt. “Just try them out,” she said.

Kurt stared at the two for a brief moment before outstretching his hand to Blaine as a motion to begin playing the piano.

Yeah, I'll tell you something.
I think you'll understand.
When I say that something.
I wanna hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
Oh please, say to me.
You'll let me be your man.
And please say to me.
You'll let me hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand.
And when I touch you, I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love.
I can't hide.
I can't hide.
Yeah you, got that something.
I think you'll understand.
When I say that something.
I wanna hold your hand.

Kurt let out a sigh when he finished off the song. Rachel stared at the ground, her face deep in thought. “Okay, now try the next one,” she said, still in thought. Kurt looked at Blaine, who was smiling at Kurt, beginning the tempo for the next song.

Sit tight, I'm gonna need you to keep time.
Come on just snap, snap, snap your fingers for me.
Good, good now we're making some progress.
Come on just tap, tap, tap your toes to the beat.
And I believe,
this may call for a proper introduction, and well.
Don't you see,
I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue?
Swear to shake it up, if you swear to listen.
Oh, we're still so young but desperate for attention.
I aim to be, your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives.

The song was finished before Kurt knew it. By the time he had belted out the last note, he was smiling, proud of himself. Rachel was smiling as well, widely, as she quickly clapped her hands together. “Gentleman, I think we have found our second solo!”

“Good. That song is perfect for me, in my opinion,” replied Kurt in a sarcastically stuck-up way.

Blaine and Rachel chuckled together.

Rachel's phone then went off as she took it from her dress' pocket and hurried outside to answer it. Kurt took the opportunity and sat down on the piano bench next to Blaine, passing him a neatly folded note.

“My number. You should text me sometime,” said Kurt in his best flirty voice.

Blaine took the note from Kurt, purposely brushing his fingers against Kurt's. Kurt and Blaine just took in the sight of each other.

“You have no idea how badly I want to kiss you right now,” whispered Blaine, slightly shaking his head.

Kurt's cheeks turned red as his heart began to speed up horribly. No one had ever said anything like that before and being that it was the first time, Kurt felt so happy to hear it. Butterflies rattled through his stomach as his lips quirked into a wide smile. Quickly enough, he found himself feeling the same thing, glancing down at Blaine's lips.

Kurt couldn't help himself as he quickly turned his body towards Blaine and grabbed his face as he pulled him forward until their lips were formed together. Blaine sucked in a breath, holding back from the craving of wanting to grab a fistful of Kurt's hair to bring him closer.

Kurt was in heaven. This was just the thing he needed to make up for such a boring Saturday. For Blaine, on the other hand, he was fighting against his will to kiss Kurt back or even wrap his arms around him. Rachel would surely walk in at any moment now and he soon thought of how stupid Kurt was to do this.

“I knew it!” a voice shrieked, breaking their kiss.

Kurt's eyes opened and widened his eyes as he pulled back and looked over at Rachel's alarmed expression. “I-I knew it! You love him!” screeched Rachel, talking to Blaine as she pointed at Kurt.

Blaine sighed a sort of stressed sigh as he buried his face in his hands, his elbows hitting random keys as the piano belted out a series of uncoordinated notes. “Shit,” Kurt heard Blaine hiss under his breath.

Kurt stared wide-eyed at Rachel. “R-Rachel, this is my fault. I am so sorry, Mr. Anderson. I didn't know what came over me,” said Kurt, trying to hint out a game for Blaine to play along with.

Blaine caught on almost too immediately. “Just go away, Kurt. Please,” he said in an upset tone, loud enough for Rachel to hear. “That was very inappropriate of you to do,” he added, his voice rising.

Kurt had to admit. He was enjoying this game. He just huffed a sigh as he shuffled to his feet shakily, feeling the left-over sparks from the kiss. “I'm gonna...go now,” whispered Kurt.

“Wait, so you don't have feelings for Kurt? You were telling the truth?” asked Rachel when Kurt disappeared, a puzzled expression on her face as she covered her hands over her mouth. “Mr. Anderson, I am so sorry for being so assuming,” she murmured. She. Was clueless.

Blaine kept up the act a little while longer as he shook his head. “Just leave me alone.”

* * * * *

Kurt hid in the costume room, waiting for Rachel to leave so he could go back to Blaine. When he heard her hurry out of the auditorium, he peeked his head out the door to make sure it was safe. He straightened his blazer and shook his head at the situation, walking back on stage where Blaine was now gathering scattered music sheets that Rachel had dropped to the floor from shock.

Blaine froze and looked up at Kurt, giving him a stern look. “Kurt, you shouldn't have done that,” murmured Blaine as he looked back down at the papers he was collecting.

Kurt knelt down to help Blaine retrieve the papers. “I'm sorry...” he said in earnest.

Blaine shook his head, stopping again to slap his hand against his lap angrily as he looked at Kurt. “What were you thinking! You knew Rachel would come back in! If she knew about-” started Blaine, his voice rising as he forced himself to stop talking and bite his tongue.

Outside the auditorium, Rachel eyed Kurt's empty car. She sighed as she stood near the opened auditorium door, listening in on what Kurt and Blaine were talking about. She wasn't sure if she should hurry away before she heard anything else or just stand there like the idiot she knew she was. She felt stupid for falling for their little so-called 'game'.

Kurt shrugged his shoulders in a shy and apologetic way. “I'm...s-sorry,” he said, his face reddening with embarrassment. As he placed the pile of papers he had collected for Blaine before him as he got to his feet. “I'm sorry...” he echoed again, shaking his head as he soon hurried away.

“Kurt!” Blaine called after Kurt, his hand going to his face. He shouldn't have gotten so upset. But how else was he going to stress to Kurt how badly they needed to be careful about their relationship, though Blaine didn't even know what to call their relationship. “Kurt, get back here!” Blaine called out, his voice louder as it echoed through the entire auditorium.

Rachel's eyes widened at the fact Kurt was about to exit the door at any second. She tried her best to be quick, ducking behind a random parked car. She secretly peaked a look at Kurt as she watched him run out the door to stop and look around, his eyes reddened and tears beginning to fall down his cheek. She had never seen Kurt cry before. He's probably just confused. It's a natural thing, thought Rachel, making up her mind that it would be best if she just kept this a secret.

Kurt never felt so stupid. He never meant to be that stupid in front of Blaine before. He was just trying to impress Blaine. And God, how he could just tell how badly Blaine wanted to respond to the kiss. It was like he was proud, or something, of himself for making Blaine feel that.

Kurt just shook his head and ran the back of his hand over his nose, sniffing as he wiped his cheeks next. He was falling for Blaine and he just couldn't help it. He ignored Blaine's on-going pleas for Kurt to come back. He didn't want to make any more of a fool of himself as he had already done in half an hour in one day.

So stupid!

He hurried to his car when he heard Blaine's voice come closer and closer. Blaine was running after Kurt. He got in his car, quickly turned it on, and drove away just as Blaine had come through he auditorium door.

Rachel stared, wide-eyed, not sure if she could move yet. Her stockings were getting dirty and that was one of her many pet peeves that really sent her in a frenzy of wanting to freak out about it.

Blaine let out an angry grunt as he kicked at the air. “Dammit!” Blaine hissed.
