Jacob Ben Israel approached Dalton Academy with the $200 Coach Sylvester had paid him to do this. He approached the Warbler choir room and knocked. When three boys behind a desk looked at him questioningly, all of the boys in the room turned around the stare at him.

"Hello, my name is Jacob Ben Israel, reporter from McKinley High. I have come here to give you this tape on your competition in Show Choir: The New Directions. The Cheerleading Coach paid me 200 bucks to gather this information, and she gave me the performances. Thank you." He blurted out and gave the DVD case to Blaine.

Blaine stood, blinking. Wes shrugged, "Since they've practically given it to us, why don't we watch it? Besides, we've already done research on all of them…" They glanced at the screen on Thad's laptop.

'The Duets' came up on the screen, followed by 'Mercedes and Santana' The camera slowed to show a jazz band playing the opening notes to 'River Deep/ Mountain High'. Mercedes started out the song. The Latina Cheerleader followed, copying her moves and strutting her stuff. The camera panned to show the reactions of Finn and Rachel. Then, Santana started singing. The camera then showed Artie rocking out, and Brittany looking a bit sad. Mercedes practically screamed the next notes, their voices melded together perfectly. Then, they begun jiggling their butts. As they finished the song, hitting incredible notes, cheers rung out in the footage.

Blaine glanced towards the various straight Warblers in the room who were drooling, and rolled his eyes.

'Sam and Kurt' the screen flashes. The video clip starts out with the jazz band playing a soft song. Sam walked towards Kurt, grabbing his hands as he started singing Peter Gabriel's part to 'Don't Give Up'. Kurt spun around him, letting go of his hands and sitting down on the chair in the room, singing Kate Bush's part. They sung the next part –intended for Sam only- together, Sam's voice in a falsetto and Kurt's voice deep, making a powerful contrast. Kurt stood up when Sam wrapped his arms around the behind of Kurt's chair. Kurt gracefully bound over to the girls and took the hands of Mercedes and Brittany and spun them both around. When Sam powerfully sung his next part, he took the hands of Tina and Santana. Rachel and Finn grinned, stood up and started slow dancing as everyone finished that. Mr. Schuester was in tears, "Great work, guys!" As Sam and Kurt kissed, silencing the group. "Whoa, dude are you two dating?" Finn asked, dumbstruck. Kurt raised both eyebrows as the screen went black.

The Warblers were in shock. The two duets were so different, yet so amazing.

'Mike and Tina' When Mike started out the song, everyone in the video and in the room was in shock. Mike and Tina ran across the room, knocked furniture over and when Mike actually sung his part, everybody giggled. The duet was amazing.

The Warblers all burst into applause, grinning like mad.

'Rachel and Finn'The camera panned over to show both in offensive school-girl and priest outfits. The opening notes of 'With you I'm Born Again' started playing. The camera focused on them half of the time. The other half of the time, it panned over to the other group members. At the beginning of the song, Mr. Schuester's eyebrows were raised, as were Santana, Mercedes, Tina and Mike's. Their offensive choreography left everyone in shock. Rachel obviously had an amazing voice, as did Finn, but the song was too offensive to take that into consideration. The camera glanced over at Mercedes who muttered, "This is not happening" and then to Kurt's shocked face, with Sam glancing back at him, mouthing something. Then, Quinn's face showed disgust, which everyone understood, due to the cross around her neck. Mike started clapping, but Tina stopped him.

The Warblers were in shock, but shook their heads.

'Rachel and Kurt' the screen read, leaving the Warblers confused. Didn't they do their duets? As Kurt started off by singing Judy's part to 'Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy', Rachel continued. Their voices were amazing together. The camera showed Sam staring at the duo in adoration, and Quinn grinning at the two. Then, Mike wrapped his arm around Tina as Finn and Mr. Schuester looked ecstatic. They kept singing, occasionally glancing at each other and smiling. When Rachel grabbed Kurt's hand, the Warbler's were in awe at their voices.

That clip ended. Blaine had heard Kurt singing along to the radio before, but that was phenomenal. Blaine couldn't deny that Sam and Kurt's video made him a bit jealous of Sam, but Kurt was happy, so he wouldn't ruin that.

The camera read 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' as Kurt started arguing with Mr. Schuester that just because he was gay, he wasn't going to dress as a transvestite. Sam started writing something on Kurt's paper to which he looked down and smiled at.

The Warblers watched quietly as they watched 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', 'Time Warp' and 'Sweet Transvestite', but Jacob came onto the screen next and said that all of the other songs' copies were deleted. The Warblers shrugged and kept watching their competition.

Mr. Schuester announced that the girls and boys had to team up separately to do mash-ups. When Kurt walked over to the Girls' side, where they all welcomed him in, Mr. Schuester told him to go to the boys' side. Disappointed, the boy stalked back over to the boys' side and sat down. Then, Mr. Schuester announced that the club had to do songs traditionally by the other gender. A flamboyant boy was pointing at a poster board that couldn't be seen by the camera.

"-And of course, we're singing Diana Ross. Bob Mackie-esque marabou for the boas are a must."

"Isn't this lesson about opposites?" Artie cuts in, "I mean, you in a sequined gown and boa is exactly what you'd expect."

Kurt gave him a disbelieving look. Finn, Puck and Mike weren't interrupting, and were watching with mild amusement. Kurt ground his teeth as he saw Sam dozing off.

"Who said anything about a gown?" Kurt defends himself.

"Uh, dude. Why don't you make yourself useful and put rat poison in the old folks' jello or visit the Garglers?" Puckerman asked.

"The Warblers." Kurt corrects, exasperated.

"Whatever" He mumbled something and continued, "And you can wear all the feathers you want: you'll blend right in." Kurt stared at Puck, mouth agape. Was he really that useless? He spared a glance towards Sam, who had woken up and was twirling a pencil in his hand.

"Fine." He grabs his poster-board and leaves the room, but not before seeing Mike throw Finn a wide-eyed look and Sam looked up. "Kurt?" He hollered.

The Warblers looked at each other in alarm. Kurt was obviously upset at not being with the girls whom he was obviously closer to.
The camera panned over to the panicking members of the New Directions, wondering where Kurt was, as Kurt walked into the room, typing something. He put his phone in his back pocket as he entered the choir room, met to Sam practically jumping him, "Sam… Chill – I'm okay."

Sam glanced at him with a puzzled expression and draped his arm on the back of Kurt's seat as the girls sung 'Start Me Up/Livin' On A Prayer'.

'To Kurt: Courage xoxo Blaine' his phone buzzed.

The Warblers all glanced at Blaine, not knowing that he was actually a friend of a member of the New Directions.

He smiled and typed out, 'To Blaine: Thanks, Blainey xoxo Kurt'.

As the performance ended, "Who the hell is Blaine?" Sam glared at Kurt, stopping everyone's cheering to glance at the couple. "He's my friend," Kurt gritted out.

"Oh? So all friends write 'xoxo' on text messages?"

Kurt crossed his arms, "Santana and Brittany do." The two girls nodded.

"They're screwing!" Sam flung his arms in the air. He was about to say something else before Becky ran into the room with a note, giving it to Mr. Schuester.

The Warblers all looked around at shock. Blaine's jaw hung agape. He didn't want to damage their relationship… Sure he wanted Kurt as more than a friend, but he also wanted Kurt to be happy, and to be his best friend.

Mr. Schuester stated ranting about how the other boys –and Tina- made Coach Beiste quit, because they needed a 'cool-down' technique. He glanced at Sam disgustedly. Quinn shook her head at Puck, who she had gotten back together with, "Oh my god." The next thing he knew, Puck was being pulled out of Glee Club along with Mr. Schuester.

Kurt hung a picture that Blaine had given him in his locker, with the word 'Courage' written underneath.

Blaine couldn't help but smile. Blaine had a matching picture of Kurt in his locker with the word 'Bravery' underneath.

Kurt smiled softly, when Karofsky slammed Kurt into the locker. As Kurt saw Sam coming, he stood up and shut the locker.

"Hey, Kurt… I'm just- really sorry. About everything: the Beiste thing, the jealousy… I'm just afraid you'll leave me."

Kurt took Sam's hand, "I won't leave you, Sam."

Sam grinned and muttered, "Time to make this official." He closed the distance between them and smirked into the kiss as he heard the whole hall quiet down. He leaned back and took Kurt's hand as they walked to the choir room, past all the stunned students. The whole hallway gasped as the Football player turned the chaste kiss into a mini-make-out as the camera zoomed in on them.

"I don't get it: it's boys against girls, but what does the winner get?" Coach Beiste asked, as all the boys were in costume.

"Well, we were all hoping for your forgiveness," Finn announced.

"Yeah, we just wanted to apologize for hurting your feelings," Sam continued, grabbing and squeezing Kurt's hand.

"Coach Beiste, we think you're awesome. And even though you're all hard and tough on the outside, it doesn't mean you're the opposite on the inside."

"Like a chocolate Turtle," Sam stated. Kurt furrowed his eyebrows as Finn agreed.

The Warblers all stared at each other, with similar expressions to Kurt.

"Totally! You're nugget! And we totally get that, now." Artie sent Kurt 'is-this-boy-crazy?' eyes.

"Like a mash-up," Finn stated. "Why don't you guys just get to the song?" Mr. Schuester suggested.

"Totally. This mash-up is dedicated to you, Coach. Hard and badass on one hand, and soft and girly on the other." Artie smiled.

"And we hope it makes you smile, 'cause when you smile, you're pretty; it lights up the room. Seriously."

After the boys finished their mash-up. "That was really good. I liked it. Thank you" Coach Beiste smiled. "Get over here." Artie smiled.

The next thing they knew, they were all in a group hug.

The camera dimmed and then got very bright. Jacob Ben Israel was shown turning the camera on and giving it to his friend.

The cameraman looked around the room as Sam and Kurt walked in to see a few people glancing at them, shocked, and Karofsky glaring at both while Azimio cracked his knuckles. On their way to Homeroom, Jacob Ben Israel blocked their path, holding a microphone, while one of his geeky friends held a camera, behind him.

Sam had his arm slung around Kurt's shoulders and raised an eyebrow, leaning into Kurt and mumbling, "I don't feel like going to class: let's just talk to this kid and then go split. Maybe have a picnic."

The boys in the room were surprised. They could just skip class?

"Hello, J-B-I, here, and I am now talking to the biggest news around McKinley: Resident Gay, Kurt Hummel, and New Kid, Sam Evans. People are talking –and they're talking a lot- can you confirm that you're dating?"

Kurt and Sam glanced at each other and Sam shrugged, " Yeah, we're boyfriends."

Jacob smiled in the creepiest way possible, "And what is your Glee club couple name?"

Sam furrowed his eyebrows, "Glee club couple name?"

Jacob rolled his eyes, "Like Finn plus the gorgeous, talented and beautiful Rachel Berry are 'Finchel', Finn and Quinn were 'Fuinn', Puckerman and Rachel were 'Puckleberry', Brittany and Artie are 'Bartie', Kurt and Brittany were 'Kurttany', Santana and Puckerman were 'Suck', Brittany and Santana were 'Santitany', Tina and Artie were 'Tartie', Puckerman and Quinn were 'Quick', Tina and Mike are 'Chang Squared' slash 'Tike'…. So are you guys 'Hevans' or 'Kum'?"

Trent giggled a little bit at the last option as Lucas elbowed him in the gut. Nick was leaning his head on Jeff's shoulder as the newly-together couple gasped, "Wait- Kurt and Brittany? A girl? Blaine, I thought you said he was gay."

Blaine shrugged, "He is."

Kurt raised an eyebrow, "I'm just creeped out that you know that much about us. 'Kum' sounds too…"

Sam continued, "Sexual. It's like if Puck and Finn were together, they would be called 'Fuck' and-"

Kurt glanced at Sam in horror, "I don't even want to imagine them together: especially with that word, hon. I guess we're called 'Hevans'."

Jacob grinned, "So is Hummel the girl of the relationship? Because everyone seems to think that—"

Jacob couldn't finish his sentence, because Kurt lifted him off the ground and slammed him into the locker, "Listen here, Jew-Fro: Even though Sam is on the football team, it does not mean that I am a girl. If you remember, I used to be a football player. And if you also remember, I was a main factor in winning the Titan's first game. So shut your trap and get. Out. Of. Our. Faces."

The Warblers' eyes were as wide as saucers. Who knew the feminine boy had that much strength? And was on the football team? By Blaine's expression, he didn't know either.

Sam took hold of Kurt's waist, "Honey, put him down: he doesn't deserve your time or effort. Let's just skip class and get some ice-cream."

Kurt smiled, "Okay." And they held hands, walking out of the building.

"Hello, I am Rachel Berry" An obnoxious brunette girl announced, "This is my boyfriend, Finn. I am obviously going to be famous in the near future, so keep this video for 10 years later: you'll get a lot of money off of E-Bay for it from my dedicated fans." The girl rambled on and on as Finn had a faraway look on his face.

"Yo. I'm Noah Puckerman. I just got back from Juvie. These are my homies Mike, his girlfriend Tina, Finn, the lovely Jewish Princess, Rachel, my baby's mama, Quinn, Santana, Brittany, Artie, and you know the rest."

"Dope, man." Artie grinned. "Wait, dude, where are Sam and Kurt?" The rest of the New Directions looked around them until Santana grinned, " Wanky, wanky, do you think they're getting it on in Hummel's car?"

Finn glanced at her in disgust, "Ew, Santana! That's like my almost-brother!"
A few more people started talking about random things, and just when Jacob was leaving the room, they ran into 'Hevans'.

Kurt sighed, "Jew-Fro, don't you have anything better to do than hound the only gay couple at school?"

Jacob smirked, "We've actually hounded everyone in your glee club, so you two are last. Tell me about your plans for Sectionals."

Sam started, "Well, from what Kurt's told me, we usually don't actually come up with a set-list until before-mph!"

Kurt slapped a hand over his mouth, "Sam! That is classified: who knows what Jew-Fro's going to do with that info! Buzz off, Jacob. Come on, Sam."

All the people in the club looked at each other confusedly, as Mr. Schuester stumbled out of the room. Rachel closed the door, and wrote on the whiteboard, 'Me.'

"Class. In Mr. Schuester's absence, I'd like to go around and ask everyone what solos they'd like to hear me perform at Sectionals."

The Warblers all glanced around each other. Rachel didn't perform at Sectionals. They had heard her other breathtaking performances, but what happened?

"Alright, you know- let me at it!" Santana jumped at Rachel, only to be held back by a majority of the club.

Puckerman was scrubbing the floor with butter of some kind and talking about making the teacher slip. Rachel strode into the room and fell down, immediately pushing herself back up. Miss Holliday then entered the room, just to slide across it and start talking to the club.

As Kurt entered Glee club, he saw Puck and Finn staring at Miss Holliday in awe. Kurt slipped on the floor, "Oh!" Sam ran over to him and helped him get up as Miss Holliday asked to start with introductions.

"I'm Finn Hudson- I'm quarterback of the football team," Puck imitated.

"I'm Rachel Berry, his loud, loud girlfriend." Santana grinned as Rachel huffed.

"I'm Mike Chang" Brittany stated. Mike gave her a nod of approval.

"Those aren't your names: you know why I know that?"

"You're psychic!" Brittany guessed.

"I know that because I recently watched a video of you guys performing at Regionals… Where you came in last. Maybe it was 'cause the songs were about 30 years old, but… " Miss Holliday deadpanned. "Those songs are classics," Finn defended.

"Those songs are amazing: but they sounded like somebody else's favorite songs: not yours." Miss Holliday shrugged.

"She speaks the truth." Brittany sounded amazed.

Sam didn't pay much attention, but when Miss Holliday made a small speech that left Rachel Berry speechless, and his boyfriend said something about how Mr. Schuester hadn't listened to the radio since the 80s, he tuned in.

"Cee Lo! That's what I'm talking about!" Miss Holliday snapped her fingers as Artie let a coo of approval out.

"Okay, excuse me, what would you know about Cee Lo? 'Cause you're like 40." Santana asked.

"Like Top 40, sweet cheeks, hit it!" Miss Holliday smirked as the class let out, 'ooh's.

Sam smiled as Miss Holliday sung and grinned when Kurt did a little shimmy with her. Kurt danced with the cheerleaders, Mercedes, Sam and Finn crazily and when Mercedes and Artie sung their part, Sam grabbed Kurt's hands and mouthed the words to him, as Kurt cracked up laughing.

Then Kurt jumped a chair up and tried to get Rachel to start dancing.

Sam looked mildly amused at the next chorus, where Kurt was dancing with Santana, but just shook his head and laughed as Quinn shoved him. The class applauded as Miss Holliday yelled, "Let's go get some tacos!"

As Rachel and Miss Holliday started singing the glamorous song that Kurt recognized from the musical, 'Chicago', Quinn gripped onto his arm from one side excitedly, and Finn looked confused on his other side.

Sam's mouth twitched downwards as he read the text that Kurt quickly typed out over his shoulder.

Blaine could only assume that the frown was because of his and Kurt's little chat about Chicago.

Everybody cheered and Kurt and Quinn laughed at the cool dance moves they did, straight out of the musical. Mr. Schuester made an uneventful speech, and they all did the songs 'Singin' in the rain/Umbrella'.

The Warblers shut the computer off and dismissed their meeting, but not before Blaine got a call, "Hey?"

He could almost hear Kurt grinning over the phone, "BURT PROPOSED TO CAROLE!" He screamed.

Blaine smiled, "That's great, Kurt."

Kurt explained, "You. Are. Coming. Don't bring Wes and David!"

Blaine smiled, accepted the invite and they continued conversing about the daily things that were happening in their lives.

Kurt and Finn were talking about Finn wanting to take charge at Kurt's locker the next day when Kurt made a cute comment about his power rangers getting married and divorced so many times that they were like Fleetwood Mac. He offered to give Finn dancing lessons.

"Thanks! It's a plan!" Finn grins and walks off.

Kurt smiles and closes his locker, grabbing the wedding topper from inside his locker.
Kurt turned around to come face-to-face with Karofsky.

"I don't want you near me." Kurt stated. Karofsky raised an eyebrow.

Karofsky ran a finger down his chest and grabbed the wedding topper, "Can I have this?"

"No." A voice came from behind him. Apparently, coming out of the closet hadn't effected Sam's popularity at all, since he was now quarterback. He grabbed the wedding topper from Karofsky and glared at him, giving the topper, gingerly back to Kurt.

The day after that, Kurt had heard from Santana that Rachel was going to get the glee boys to have a little 'chat' with Karofsky. Apparently, Finn didn't want to defend Kurt for some reason, and 'Frankenteen' and 'The Midget' were having a fight.

When Sam didn't meet Kurt at his car and was 15 minutes late, Kurt strolled over to the Locker room to find him.

"Stop picking on Kurt." Kurt heard Artie demand.

"You mind? I'm changing." Karofsky sneered.

"We're serious!" Mike slammed something. Kurt walked in, stunned. "This is a warning."

"Oh yeah?" Karofsky asked just as Artie said, "From now on, you're going to leave him alone."

"Look, if he wants to be a homo, that's up to him-"

Kurt saw Sam look up at Karofsky in fury an lunge at him. He sat on top of him as he knocked him to the ground, "DO." Punch, "NOT." Punch, "TALK." Punch, "ABOUT." Punch, "HIM." Punch, "LIKE." Punch, "THAT!" And then continued punching him. When Kurt snapped back into his senses, he took a hold of Sam's waist, "SAM STOP!" Sam looked at Kurt distractedly and started to get up when Karofsky attacked him.

Karofsky started throwing punches when Coach Beiste came in and broke the fight up,

"The dude was a wild animal!" Mike fawned at Glee practice.

"A manimal!" Artie described, as Kurt dabbed the bag of ice on Sam's black eye.

"I am so turned on by you." Brittany stated to Artie.

Then, the members of the club started attacking Finn right after Sam asked Kurt how his eye looked and Kurt responded that it was actually hot.

"Lay off Finn, guys. It's not his problem." Kurt stated, tired of the arguing. "It's not any of your problems, actually. Thank you for what you all did, though. Especially you, Sam. I can't thank you enough."

Santana winked, "I could imagine a way you can 'thank' him."

"Hey guys. What's going on? What happened to Sam's eye?" Mr. Schuester questioned, fixing his stare on Kurt, whose legs were draped over Sam's lap as he held the ice onto his face.

"He got into a fight with Karofsky because he was calling me rather rude names to Mike and Artie." Kurt explained.

"All the guys did. Well, except Finn." Tina stated. Finn rolled his eyes, feeling bad as Sam tightened his arm against Kurt's shoulders.

"Is everyone okay? Do we all need to talk to Principal Sylvester?" Mr. Schuester questioned.

"No. I got in a few good hits, too, so we can just call it even. And maybe they can give Karofsky a warning to just back off Kurt." Sam stated. Kurt was so overwhelmed at how much his boyfriend would sacrifice for him, that he leant over and gave him an open-mouthed kiss right in front of everyone.

As Sam kissed him back passionately, Mr. Schuester nodded and didn't tell the boys to break it up or anything, like usual, because he could sense that both boys needed the comfort.

"Okay, guys, let's take our places: we've got a wedding to prepare for." He clapped his hands.

That evening, as Sam walked into the room, his eyes flicked back and forth between the four people, already there.

"Ah, honey-pie, sit over there, next to Finn!" Kurt placed his hand on Sam's back and directed him to his seat. Burt raised an eyebrow as he couldn't help but notice the way that Blaine's eyes trailed on his son and how he looked at the ground whenever Kurt touched or talked about Sam.

He felt sympathetic: the kid had it bad, and watching the couple together –now they were even more lovey-dovey because of Sam taking the hit from Karofsky- hurt Blaine in his heart and Burt could clearly see it.

Sam smiled as he sat down and Kurt pecked his cheek. Burt flicked his glance over to Blaine, who was forcing a wide smile, yet had unshed tears in his eyes. "Now! I would like to thank the three of you for attending the Blaine Anderson and Kurt Hummel learn-to-dance seminar. Dad, you're going to have to pull of your first dance with Carole. And if Uncle Andy's birthday party was any indication, you're gonna need some work."

Blaine smiled at how witty and adorable Kurt was. Burt glanced at him, shaking his head slightly at the love-struck look on Blaine's face. He peered over at Sam, who had a similar expression. Burt now felt extremely uncomfortable. He glanced over at Finn, who was completely unaffected and just watching Kurt excitedly with enthusiasm.

"What are you talking about? My moves were great. Okay, it was the damn sangria…"

Blaine stifled a giggle as he stood up to assist Kurt. "Okay, Sam! Finn! Dad! Pay attention, while Blaine and I demonstrate. Which song were you thinking to do?"

"Either 'Stairway' or 'Sway'." Burt called from where he was sitting on the plastic chair.

"You got that, Blaine? Beat is 1, 2, 3, 4" Kurt asked, making sure that Blaine was familiar with it.

"Yup." As he walked over to Kurt and took his right hand gently. He placed his other hand on Kurt's waist, "I assume I'm leading from our positions, of course."

Kurt grinned, "You got that right. Okay, hit it! 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4…" Kurt murmured.

Burt cast a sideways glance at Sam, who was crossing his arms and shifting uncomfortably. "C'mere, Kid." And Burt begins copying Kurt's movements with Sam.

"No- Dad, hand there." Kurt walks over and places Burt's hand on Sam's waist, as they begin dancing.

"Finn?" He holds his arm out.

Finn looks uncomfortable at the prospect and asks if they can shut the door, to which Kurt replies that Finn's danced a hundred times at Regionals.

As Finn's hand slid into Kurt's, Karofsky walked by and made a hand gesture, implying that they were women.

"What the hell was that?" Blaine, Sam and Burt all questioned, Sam and Blaine sending uneasy glances towards each other, but focusing their attention on Kurt.

"That was not nothing: that guy was making fun of you. What the hell is his name?" Burt questioned.

"Tell him, Kurt." Finn murmured, "Tell him or I will."

"Tell me what?" Burt sounded murderous, now.

"His name is Dave. Dave Karofsky. He's been harassing me for a few weeks, now."

"Harassing you how?" Burt asked, and Kurt turned his stare towards Blaine and then Sam, who were both gesturing for him to tell Burt.

"Just shoving me and giving me a hard time." Blaine and Sam both cocked their heads. Why was he defending Karofsky?

"There's more: there's something else you're not telling me." Burt pushed.

Blaine bounded over to Kurt and whispered in his ear, "I understand if you don't tell him about the kiss, but at least tell him about the threat."

Kurt glanced over at the others. Sam was turning slightly red, but so was Burt –probably for different reasons, though- "Okay," Kurt breathed and Blaine smiled, resting his hand on Kurt's shoulder.

"H-He threatened to kill me." Kurt stated. Sam's first reaction was a double-take. "WHAT?" Sam, Burt and Finn yelled. Sam's second reaction was hurt: why did he tell Blaine, but not him? And then, Sam's third reaction was to kill Dave Karofsky.

Apparently, Burt had Sam's third thought first and had already ran up to Karofsky and shoved him into a wall.

"What the hell have you been doing while this has been going on, huh? Not you two, Finn. Blaine- you've comforted Kurt: at least that's what I can gather from all the sleepovers at our place and the empty tubes of ice-cream. Sam- the bruise on your cheek is enough to tell me what happened. But Finn?"

He stormed away.

"So it seems the situation has reached a boiling point." Sue stated.

Burt replied, "You're damn right it has!"

Sam and Blaine had both wanted to come in, but had been forced to wait outside.

"Nothing happened." Dave lied.

"I'll tell you what really happened: Mr. Karofsky-"

"My name's Paul." Paul Karofsky stated, not looking too happy.

"Paul, your kid threatened the life of my son."

"Porcelain? Is that true?" Sue questioned, tightening her lips.

Kurt nodded. "It's not true- I didn't say anything!" Karofsky pleaded.

"That's what he said." Kurt deadpanned, "He said he'd kill me if I told anyone."

"If you told anyone what?" Sue asked.

Karofsky threw a panicked look at Kurt and Kurt didn't want to out him to his father's face.

"Just… That he was picking on me."

Karofsky breathed an audible sigh, yet tried to continue his lies, "He's making all this stuff up!"

"Oh is that right?"

"Hold on a sec- you have acting differently, lately, David. You used to get As and Bs, now you're talking back, you're acting out… Now you're sitting here. So let me ask you: Why would Kurt make that up?" Paul Karofsky asked.

"Maybe he likes me." Karofsky stated. Hah! In his dreams. Kurt thought as Paul threw David an incredulous look.

"I think we are wasting our time here. It's your job to protect the people." Burt states.

"I couldn't agree more. After hearing both sides of the story, you are hereby expelled. I will not have one student threatening the life of another. If you don't think this is fair, we'll even appeal to the school board. You'll leave campus immediately."

"I appreciate your time." Paul Karofsky sighed after everyone was struck by silence.

As both left, Burt thanked her, to which Sue announced, "Enjoy your wedding." How did she even know? Kurt wondered, but dismissed the thought.

Out in the corridors, Sam and Blaine both watched Kurt as he entered the office with his father, Dave Karofsky and Mr. Karofsky.

Sam glared at Blaine, " So...You're in love with my boyfriend." He stated, raising an eyebrow.

Blaine looked taken aback, "Wha-I-No!"

Sam sighed, rubbing his forehead, "I see the way you look at him, Anderson. Should I warn you to back off?"

Blaine glanced at Sam, an expression of heartbreak on his face, "I'm not… going to tell him, Sam. I'm not going to try and take him away from you. I really, really care about him. You love him, too. And you make him happy. If you two break up someday, I might tell him. But not when he's perfectly happy and in love with someone else."

"But it hurts you." Sam asked, glancing at Blaine and tilting his head to the side.

Blaine nodded, "Of course it does. But you're going to be what he needs –a dorky, loving boyfriend- and I'm going to be what he needs- The best friend," Who is hopelessly in love with Kurt. Both boys add in their minds.

"Blaine… I'm not going to say that I like you- because I'm pretty sure that Kurt harbors some romantic feelings towards you, and no guy wants their boyfriend to care about their best friend in that way… But you're a good guy, Blaine. Thank you."

"You're welcome…" Blaine smiled a pathetic excuse for a smile, his heart shattering.

Karofsky stalked out of the office with his father in tow as Kurt emerged, a big smile on his face, "Karofsky's expelled!" Sam grinned and as both he and Blaine stood up, Kurt jumped in between them for a hug, squeezing both as tightly.

Blaine sat in the front row of the audience, excitement bubbling in him as the opening lines of 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars started playing.

"It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you" Finn sung in a soft voice as he pointed at his girlfriend.

"Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you" Rachel hopped into Finn's arms and they ran over to the front row.

"Well, I know this little chapel

On the boulevard we can go

No one will know" Kurt sung, skipping and having an Eskimo-kiss with Sam, who continued.

"Oh, come on, babe" Sam edited the lyrics for Kurt's sake as Kurt continued.

"Who cares if we're trashed" Kurt sung flirtatiously. They sung the next part together.

"Got a pocket full of cash we can blow

Shots of patron" Mercedes and Quinn skipped down the aisle, throwing a few flowers.

"And it's on, girl" Sam sung to Mercedes as he took her hand and ran with her down the aisle at the same time that Kurt did the same with Quinn.

"Don't say no, no, no, no, no

Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And we'll go, go, go, go, go" Artie and Brittany sung in a cutesy way, sharing loving glances.

"If you're ready, like I'm ready" Artie sung as Puck wheeled him off and Santana and Brittany danced with each other.

"'Cause it's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you!" Mike and Tina sung as all of the New Directions continued.

"Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice?

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you"

"Just say I do

Tell me right now, baby

Tell me right now, baby, baby" Burt ran down the aisle, as Carole danced down the aisle at the next line.

"It's a beautiful night

We're looking for something dumb to do

Hey baby

I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes

Or is it this dancing juice

Who cares, baby

I think I wanna marry you!"

Everybody applauded as Carole and Burt said their vows and were pronounced husband and wife.

The opening notes to 'Sway' started playing as Carole and Burt danced.

Finn started rambling and his adorable words of 'the new union Furt' got everybody laughing.

"You tryin' to steal ma man?" Sam interrupted, starting more giggles.

Finn continued his speech, promising to always protect and be there for Kurt.

"-We had the Glee club –and Blaine- put together a number in your honor. And you're gonna dance it with me, dude." Finn smiled, ignoring Kurt's protests.

The New Direction boys and Blaine all stood behind Finn as he started singing 'Just The Way You Are'

The choreography was splendid, and soon enough, everyone joined in. Finn stopped dancing with Kurt and started twirling around with Rachel. In the chaos, Kurt saw Sam dancing with Brittany and ran into Blaine.

"May I have this dance?" Blaine bowed.

Kurt slapped his forehead, "You are such a dork!" as they started dancing.

They missed Sam glancing at them sadly, knowing that even though Kurt was in love with Sam, there was a good chance that he was also in love with Blaine.

The next day, Kurt gave Sam some Arnica for his facial wounds, and as they headed to Sam's car, Kurt pulled him in for a deep kiss, "I love you." He murmured against Sam's lips. Sam grinned into the kiss, "I love you, too…"

After Kurt was called into Principal Sylvester's office, he came out, obviously shaken.

Sam asked, "What happened?"

Kurt shook his head, "Karofsky's coming back… Burt and Carole offered to give up their honeymoon money to send me to Dalton…"

Sam's heart broke, "But… What? Why? Are you… leaving me?"

Kurt shook his head, "We'll still see each other on weekends and after school… but… it's for my safety, Sam. Please understand that."

Sam nodded and grimaced, "I'll always love you." He stated for absolutely no reason.

"Me too." Kurt answered quickly and smiled brokenly as they entered the classroom.

"Come on guys! The wedding was great, but we have got to get ready for Sectionals next week! Kurt! Good, I want to talk to you about this amazing idea I had for a solo for you at Sectionals!" Mr. Schuester grinned. Sam looked down at the floor as he sat in his seat.

"Can I make an announcement first? First I would like to thank everyone for what you did at my Dad's wedding. Especially Finn. It's nice to know that I have great friends here… as well as a true brother. Which is why it's so hard for me to leave."

"What do you mean leave?" Quinn asked from where she was leaning on Noah Puckerman's lap.

"I'm transferring. To Dalton Academy. Immediately. My parents are using the money they saved up for their honeymoon to pay for the tuition." Kurt uttered, tears streaming down his face.

"Kurt… you can't leave." Tina's voice cracks as Mike shakes his head in denial.

"What the hell, dude? How about you talk to me about this first?" Finn enunciated.

"I'm sorry Finn, but there's nothing to talk about. Karofsky's coming back tomorrow, so that means I won't be."

Finn cradled his own face in his hands as Rachel rested her hand on Finn's shoulder. Sam shot forward and gave Kurt the hugest hug.

"Seriously, we can form a perimeter around you: like the secret service." Puck offers as Quinn nods along.

"The only thing that can protect me is what they have at Dalton: a Zero-tolerance, no bullying policy. It's enforced." As Mr. Schuester nodded.

Rachel looked alarmed, "Does this mean you'll be competing against us at Sectionals?"

"Kurt…" Mercedes mumbled as everyone looked at Rachel questioningly, Santana even crying.

"I'm sorry… I have to go." Kurt mumbled as he left the room, leaving the New Directions looking lost and sad.

"WAIT!" Brittany's voice rung loud and clear. She sobbed, "I'll miss you, dolphin!" as she flung herself into his arms.

He wrapped his arms around her and frowned, "I'll miss you, too, honey."

The New Directions all ran towards Kurt in a group hug.

Sam sent Blaine's number –which he had snatched from Kurt's phone- a text message.

'To Blaine: Take care of him for me. – Sam.'
