“Ah Mr Hummel,” She said. “Nice to be seeing you again, you will be seated next to Mr Houston here”

“Hi, My names Kurt” said Kurt rather enthusiastically.

“I’m Morgan” the other boy smiled.

“Are you new, It’s just I haven’t seen you around”

“Oh yeah I am, I’ve Just transferred from East High in Hamilton, Iowa”

“Ooh, Sounds lovely, I’m sure you’ll love it here”

Then the bell rang signalling the start of class. Kurt couldn’t help sneaking little looks at Morgan throughout the whole lesson.

Kurt and Morgan talked more during classes, Kurt found him charming and hilarious. They had and inside joke on how many times Mrs Hutchinson would say ‘Et ainsi de suite’, then they began hanging out in their study periods, this lead to many a random discussion.

One Day they got on to the topic of the new Harry Potter Film.

“I haven’t seen it yet” said Morgan “I don’t have many friends here, and all my others live to far away.”

“I’ll go see it with you” said Kurt.

“Really? Because I don’t want to make you if you don’t want to”

“Please, like I would turn down the chance to see Tom Felton on the big screen.” Kurt saw Morgan’s puzzled expression “Ah Shit we haven’t covered that yet have we”

“No,” said Morgan flatly. “So you’re gay too”

“Yes, I’m ga- wait what do you mean too?”

“I hide well don’t I” said Morgan flashing Kurt a goofy grin. “I got used to hiding it, because all my friends back home are extremely Christian, they don’t take to kindly to people… well people like us.”

“Oh, yes, yes you do I had no idea, Sorry to hear about you hiding yourself from your friends”

“Oh it’s fine, glad I can be myself around you though” he said grazing Kurt’s knee.

Oh god he likes me Kurt thought, He’s nice and he makes me laugh. Kurt had never had a boy crush on him before, in fact he’d never had a boyfriend before. Sure he’d had crushes in the past, there was Finn (Train wreck) and then there was Sam (probably scared him) and finally there was Felix (Absolute disaster), all these crushes ended in the same way, in heartbreak and a musical sleepover with Mercedes and Rachel.

The following Monday Kurt and Morgan went to see Harry Potter when they’d finished French Class, Kurt felt bad about skipping glee but he felt so much better spending time with Morgan than he did listening to Rachel singing a soppy love ballads to his ex-love interest.

“Want to go get a coffee” suggested Morgan.

“Sure” said Kurt beaming

After their coffee, throughout the movie Kurt kept stealing glances at Morgan and catching Morgan glance at him once or twice too.

“Well I enjoyed that” Kurt sighed

“Yeah it was nice” said Morgan “okay see ya”

Okay, what the hell just happened thought Kurt, was that a date or… he decided to just shrug it off.

They kept up their daily chats and talks about TV shows.

The next month they had a Drama trip to Chicago to visit Team Starkid; they went to see a performance of Starship. On the train there they played pontoon...

“Bust” said Morgan “no wait… what’s 10 and 9, is it 29?”

Kurt laughed “no sweetie it’s 19… anyway, you already said bust so I win”

“Ah Shit” Morgan blushed.

Kurt found it adorable that he could make Morgan blush so easily. They spent all day wondering around Chicago. They bought coffee and had a laugh, Morgan seamed distracted during the play, he was looking for his sisters, Sophie and Emily, he missed them, Kurt knew that.

During ‘The Way I Do’ Morgan turned to face Kurt and took his hand. Kurt’s heart beat ten times faster at the contact and then, in the dark of the theatre, Morgan planted his lips firmly on Kurt’s applying slow pressure. When they parted Kurt’s breathing was shallow Morgan gave him a small shy smile.

The next week they were on a date to go see Gulliver’s Travels, or at least that’s what Kurt thought.

“Hey, Kurt” Morgan said sounding slightly nervous “you haven’t heard my friends say I like you have you?”

“No…Why?” asked Kurt, slightly scared now

“Because it’s not true, they’re just saying that cause I hang around with you a lot”

“Okay… Right, so what was that in Chicago!!!?” yelled Kurt

“I’m sorry Kurt I was just trying something, why are you so upset it not like you like me that way.”

‘Well yeah… I do’ Kurt thought.

“Oh, no, no I don’t sorry for getting worked up”

“It’s alright I bet you haven’t had the right amount of caffeine today have you come on, I’ll get you a coffee and then we’ll go in”

“Sure sounds great” said Kurt smiling, even though inside he was falling to pieces.

Throughout the evening despite what Morgan had said he kept being flirty with Kurt, and it just made Kurt feel worse.

He loved spending time with Morgan; He thought that maybe Morgan loved that too, how wrong he was.

That was the last time for months that he spoke to Morgan. From then on Morgan only spoke to him on his terms and in French class when they had to work in pairs. It pained Kurt to have to see that obnoxious giant around school let alone sit next to him; at least he still had glee club where he’d NEVER see Morgan.

This was the week of the McKinley High Invitational and, for once, Kurt had a solo he was singing Colbie Caillat- Fallin’ for You.

As he took center stage and the song started he scanned the audience for his Dad and Carole, but instead he found Morgan staring at him and smiling.

and as he began singing he realised he was singing this to Morgan.

He was assaulted by memories of the conversations and ‘dates’ .

His eyes began to fill with tears, so when the last chords of the song had played and he received his applause.

He fled from the stage only to find himself in the arms of none other than Morgan himself. He must have slipped off when Kurt’s vision had been blurred.

“Did…” began Morgan “did you mean what you sung?”

Kurt shrugged the truth is he doesn’t know anymore.

“I don’t know anymore, I thought I was but then… but then, you ignored me for months!!”

“Err... yeah about that, I’ve been thinking a lot”

“About what?”

“Stuff…you…my boyfriend”

Kurt was shocked; he could barely hear Rachel singing her soppy Ballad to Finn.

“I think I love you Kurt” Morgan said when Kurt didn’t respond.

“Wait, you think you love me but you’re dating someone else?”

“Yeah, well when I kiss him it doesn’t feel like when I kissed you”

“Okay… right… yeah… hmm…”

“I’m sorry to suddenly tell you all this Kurt”

“Okay, well-”

He didn’t get to finish his sentence because Morgan’s lips were again pressed against his, he could see fireworks behind his eyelids and he hand flew up to clutch at Morgan’s cheek, when they parted Kurt missed his lips.

“Okay, now that was different”

“What, what did I do something wrong” said Kurt panicking.

“No, what, no… it’s just- it’s just that I realised I really really love my boyfriend, thanks for helping me clear that up Kurt.”

“WHAT!!!!” Kurt squealed before he could stop himself. “You what? you come her telling me you think you love me, asking me if what I sung was true and then you kiss me and say you’re In love with someone else”

“sheesh Kurt, Just chill alright”

“No, I will not ‘just chill’ this is the second time you’ve broken me! TWICE you’ve done it… Just, why Morgan Why?”

“It was easy to flirt with you, I thought you knew we were just friends I’m sorry for leading you on I never meant to hurt you EVER, I care about you. You showed me that here I can just be myself and that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be”

“But that doesn’t explain why you kissed me twice, if this meant NOTHING to you” hot angry tears boiled in Kurt’s eyes.

“It does, Kurt” said Morgan reaching to touch his face Kurt flinched and slapped his hand away.

“Do not touch me Morgan.” Kurt said, walking away.

With that Kurt ran and sat in his navigator and turned on his IPod full blast and began to cry. Rachel, reproachfully, walked to his car and tapped on the window, Kurt opened the car door. Rachel Primly sat on the passenger seat.

“Kurt, do you want to tell me what happened back there?” she said turning the music down.

“Well, Morgan kissed me then told me he was actually in love with someone else”

“Oh, Honey” said Rachel as Kurt’s tears began to fall. “I never really liked him anyway… Bad vibes”

“Yeah, Well I did, I let him in and he broke me Rach, He broke me down like I was nothing, like I didn’t matter…”

“But…” she fell silent under Kurt’s severe glare, slowly reached out to rub his shoulder; she didn’t dare start speaking again.

She sat holding him while he sobbed into her shoulder for at least 15 minutes before he spoke again.

“Hey, Rach, do you think your dads would mind you throw an impromptu sleepover with me and ‘Cedes?”

“Not at all honey, I’ll ring them now tell them to get three litre tubs of Vanilla ice cream, then I’ll go get Mercedes, fetch your stuff and tell the other guys we won’t be joining them for the after party, okay?”

“Thanks Rach. You’re a great friend, Thank you”

“Don’t mention it” she beamed.

“Okay,” said Rachel “The phones are off, my dads are out ... Let the Morgan Bashing begin”

“Kurt you go first, you deserve the first strike” Mercedes said, tucking in to her ice cream.

Part of Kurt wanted to bitchy about him, after all he broke Kurt twice, but part of him still pined after him, part of him still loved him, he hated that. He hated that Morgan still had a piece of him, he didn’t feel whole anymore, he’d probably never feel whole again.

“Well, that ponytail is awful” said Kurt at last.

“Yeah and what’s with all the death metal shirts” Mercedes added

“And that ‘Frankie Boyle’ sense of humour” said Rachel “I mean who is he ive personally never heard of him”

As Kurt listened to the Girls bitch about him, he kept thinking back to those kisses how much he felt in them, how he felt loved and cared for, at that moment he was sure he’d never, never find someone who made him feel like that again…

Until he met Blaine, Beautiful Blaine, Funny, Amazing Blaine.
