Kurt was standing anxiously outside Blaine’s Spanish Class. It was his first tutor session with Blaine, and he was now single so he was allowed to have a crush on him. But there was still the problem of Jermaine, Blaine’s boyfriend. Kurt knew that they had a fight yesterday, so maybe Kurt had a shot, Blaine hadn’t said if they’d broken up, but then again, he’d never expressly said that they were together… But they had only known, well properly known each other for a day, so Blaine was unlikely to tell Kurt his entire life story after only knowing him for 24 hours.

“Hi,” said Blaine pulling Kurt from his thoughts. “Ready for some hard core English tutoring?”

“Yeah, what were you planning on studying with me today?” Kurt asked transfixed by the shorter boy’s eyes, they shone so bright, they were so beautiful.

“Well, I thought we could look at the past three assignments and see where you let yourself down and we’ll start from there,” smiled Blaine, oh god, did he have a beautiful smile.

It was going to be hard to concentrate, with Blaine as his tutor. Kurt wouldn’t be surprised if he was half hard just with the thought of Blaine sitting next to him so close, knees brushing past each other… And those pink lips, those perfect pink lips. But Kurt couldn’t do that, he couldn’t help Blaine cheat on his boyfriend, he’d hated how he felt when he’d found out Chandler had cheated. He wouldn’t wish that for anybody, even if they did own the one thing he craved.

“Yeah, sounds great. So err, follow me to my house?” said Kurt.

“Yeah, sure… So how was your day?”

’Pretty sucky since I only had homeroom with you today,’ Kurt thought.

“Oh, it was alright, boring lessons,” said Kurt. Of course all his lessons today were dull - Blaine wasn’t in any of them, Blaine's presence automatically made the class more interesting, he’d sit and stare at the way Blaine sucked on his pen when he was thinking of answers, or the way he’d carefully remove his glasses to polish them.

“Yeah, same here,” sighed Blaine, as they walked to the parking lot.

“Okay, so just follow me okay… Wait,” said Kurt as he pulled out his note pad and a pen. “Here’s my number if you get lost.”

“T-Thank you,” said Blaine, trying to keep calm. It was hard seeing as he’d just gotten Kurt Hummel’s mobile number.

They climbed into their cars and set off to Kurt's house.

Blaine’s Car

‘Calm down, Blaine, you’ll scare him… And you know he’s dating Chandler… He loves Chandler.’

‘but what if-‘

‘No, Blaine, he loves his boyfriend…’
‘But then why is he helping me with the bullies?’

‘Just because he’s doing that, just because he’s being nice, doesn’t mean he likes you. You should know that, Blaine, remember what happened with Jermaine?’

‘Yeah but that-that was different.’

‘Different how?’

‘Jermaine’s not Kurt.’

***

Kurt’s Car

’Kurt! He has Jermaine… You just can’t jump on the kid…’

‘But he’s never said that him a Jermaine are dating.’

‘Come on, are you really that stupid? Look how happy he is when he talks to him.’

‘But he’s never said he is.’

‘Then why was he that upset about the fight… You saw the state he was in.’

‘But- but…’

‘You know I’m right.’

They pulled up outside Kurt’s house.

Oh My God, I’m about to go into Kurt Hummel’s house… Blaine thought.

“Coffee?” Kurt asked as he led Blaine down the corridor to the dining room, really wanting to hold Blaine's hand whilst doing so.

“Err yeah, black two sugars… Thanks” said Blaine as Kurt left him to go make the coffee.

Blaine sat gingerly down at the table and began to take out the English texts. Ten minutes later Kurt arrived with a tray with two large coffee cups and a mountain of homemade cookies on it. Kurt had made them special for today, they were his speciality cranberry and white chocolate cookies.

“So, I thought we’d start with the ‘Great Expectations’ assignment, because that was the hardest and it’s the most dull, and even I say so.”

’and it’s the only text that doesn’t say “Mr Blaine Hummel” all over it’ Blaine thought, taking a cookie off the plate. They tasted amazing.

“Yeah okay,” said Kurt slightly distracted by Blaine nibbling on a cookie, why did he have to be so adorable.

Kurt’s knee brushed briefly against Blaine's, both boys felt the fire flare up beneath their skin, but neither said a thing.

After about two hours of studying ‘Great Expectations’, they decided to call it a day…

“Hey, Blaine,” said Kurt trying to sound nonchalant. “Would you like to stay for dinner? We’re having Carole’s speciality Chicken noodle soup… It is to die for.”

“That sounds lovely, Kurt, but maybe some other time. It’s just that I promised Jermaine we’d go get dinner together… My treat, you know, for blowing him off yesterday,” said Blaine regretfully, but he’d promised Jermaine he’d be there, as much as he’d rather stay with Kurt

“Oh,” said Kurt.

***

’What did I say, Kurt, he’s dating this guy…’

‘Shut up.’

***

’Blaine! You idiot… He’s effectively asked you for dinner and you turn it down what the hell are you thinking?’

‘I know but Jermaine’s friendship means a lot. If I blow him off again, he’ll never speak to me again.’

‘And that’s a problem because…’

***

“Yeah maybe some other time then. Have fun with Jermaine… You know you two could always come and join us in homeroom tomorrow.”

“Really, that’d be great. Well I- we’ll see you tomorrow,” said Blaine.

And there it was the ‘we’ that Kurt had been dreading, the ‘we’ that meant Blaine and Jermaine. Not Blaine and Kurt.
