Chapter 8

Kurt hadn't realized he had fallen to the floor until he felt the cold, hard ground beneath him. He sighed, cursing the fact that his new jeans were now probably filthy with dirt, and sat down on the floor. He saw a pair of shoes stop right in front of him and he hesitated before looking up.

Blaine.

"Kurt, are you alright?" He asked. His voice sounded concerned.

He watched as Blaine bent down and searched his face. Kurt could feel the blush already starting to rise and he quickly looked away, hoping Blaine would take his blush as embarrassment. He nodded his head at Blaine's question.

"Well then, let's get you off the floor then shall we." He said, standing up and offering Kurt his hand.

Kurt stared at his hand, wondering why Blaine, the king of McKinley as he was so often called, was bothering to help him now. He gave up and grabbed his hand as Blaine pulled him up. He tried to ignore the shock that ran down his arm the second their hands touched. Once standing, Kurt seemed to finally regain his voice.

"Thanks." He said.

"No need to thank me." Blaine replied, smiling.

Kurt turned back to his still open locker, dazed at what had just happened. He finishing grabbing the books he needed and turned around…only to realize that Blaine was still there watching him. Kurt suddenly remembered that he still had his picture of Blaine in his locker and quickly turned to shut it before Blaine could have a chance to look too closely into it.

Blaine looked a bit confused, but his expression soon turned thoughtful and Kurt was starting to wonder what was running through that boy's mind. He had just started to walk away when he heard Blaine calling him.

"Kurt, wait! I umm… I was wondering… if uh... you would like to grab a coffee with me after-school?"

This is not happening…

"And why would I do that?" asked Kurt.

"I umm… was kinda hoping you… could help me out with this assignment for Spanish. I've never been good at it, and I know your one of the top students in class, so I thought why not ask you. "

Kurt hadn't realized he had gotten his hopes up until he felt his heart deflate a little at Blaine's response.

Of Course. Thought Kurt. How could I have been so stupid? Blaine doesn't care. Little Prince was just trying to get on my good side so I would say yes to tutoring him.

Despite the fact the he knew that Blaine just needed him for homework help, Kurt couldn't help but want nothing more than to say yes to Blaine's proposal. He would have given anything to spend time with Blaine, even if it was spent talking about Spanish conjugation. So instead of politely declining the offer like he had planned to a second before…

"I could go for a coffee later." replied Kurt.

Blaine smiled his signature thousand watt smile that never failed to make Kurt swoon.

"Ok, great! Umm… do you want to meet up at the Lima Bean then or I could give you a ride if you want…"

Great. More Lima Bean coffee. At least it's my day off.

"No, no it's fine. I'll just meet you there."

"Ok, I guess I'll see you after school then. See you later Kurt." He said, before leaving. Kurt couldn't help but stare at his retreating figure.

What the hell just happened?!

The final bell rang signaling the end of another day. Blaine grabbed his things and headed down the hallway with his smile on his face. Lately, he had been smiling a lot thanks to one person in particular: Kurt. It had been two weeks since he invited Kurt for coffee and he couldn't have been happier for having taken the risk. Blaine would admit that he hadn't planned on asking Kurt for help on an assignment, but something inside him just couldn't take it anymore. However, he was nowhere near ready to come out or risk his reputation. So, his mind created the amazing idea of having Kurt tutor him in Spanish. Even Rachel didn't think twice about it.

"Oh Blaine, what a good idea! We can't have McKinley's Golden Boy failing any of his classes now can we." She has told him.

It was brilliant! This way no one would get suspicion and he would still be able to hang with Kurt and get to know him better.

His heart did a funny flip at the thought of Kurt.

Kurt.

He turned out to be even more amazing then Blaine had thought. He often felt like slapping himself for not bothering to talk to Kurt earlier. Their study sessions would consist of some Spanish but mostly just laughter and the telling of some hilarious, humiliating story to the other. This went on until school was no longer mentioned and the boys soon became good friends.

Blaine continued walking and stopped when he saw Kurt at his locker.

There he is, breathtaking as always.

"Kurt!" he called out.

He saw Kurt turn and wave at him as he finally reached him.

"Hey stranger." said Blaine.

"Hey yourself." replied Kurt, smiling.

"What are you doing after-school? I was kind of wondering if you maybe wanted to help me with… umm that project that they gave us today." asked Blaine hopefully.

"Blaine, that project isn't due until another two months. And I can't today, I have work." said Kurt apologetically as he shut his locker.

Blaine tried not to let the disappointment show on his face as he followed Kurt to the parking lot.

"Oh. That's okay. Umm… maybe some other day?" asked Blaine.

He has a life too Blaine! Stop being so clingy! Blaine thought.

He watched as Kurt opened his car and threw his bag in the passenger seat. He then turned back to Blaine.

"I'll tell you what. If you're really desperate about starting that project, then you can come to the Lima Bean today during my break and ill see if I can help you in anything, if you want?" said Kurt.

Blaine's mood immediately lit up at this, but his tried to keep his cool.

"Yeah sure. I guess I could swing by later." said Blaine.

"Okay, I'll see you then." replied Kurt. After a final wave goodbye Kurt drove away.

Blaine walked back happily to his car already excited about seeing Kurt again in a few hours.
