Summary: SEQUEL to "Let's Pretend" It's Rachel's turn to take Kurt out but the only thing they succeed in doing is confusing their friends.
"She thinks that I'm not that talented and that she's the better diva? Well I'll show her. I can't believe that I thought she was my friend but this whole time she was talking behind my back!"
Kurt quietly waited for Rachel to finish her rant before telling her the same thing that he had told Mercedes hours earlier.
"Rachel, are you sure that Sue isn't just trying to pit you two against each other?"
"I knew it! You're taking Mercedes' side! You think that your precious Mercedes could do no wrong and I'm the bad guy."
"I'm not taking anyone's side! I refuse to choose between my two girls. So you both need to resolve your issues because keeping up at Dalton is hard enough without getting back to back phone calls from you and Mercedes while I'm trying to memorize the Bill of Rights."
Kurt hung up the phone and tossed it over to his bed. He really didn't want to seem rude but he really was tired and he had early Warbler practice the next morning. He closed his notebook and was about to start his moisturizing routine when he heard music that he never thought in million years would be coming from Finn’s room. Justin Beiber. He walked over to Finn’s room and peeked in. He saw him fidgeting with his hair and wanted to laugh. He knocked on the door and Finn awkwardly closed his laptop.
“Hey, Kurt.”
“Were you just listening to Justin Beiber?”
“Ha, yeah, it’s for glee. I’ve been trying to get my hair to stay down but-”
Kurt held up his finger and went to get some of his hair products. He came back into Finn’s room and motioned for him to sit down on the bed. Finn obeyed and Kurt squeezed the smoothing serum into his hand.
“You need to apply smoothing serum to your hair or else it’ll just sponge up.”
He started styling Finn’s hair.
“You don’t really need a lot or else it’ll just look greasy. It’s pretty simple.”
He finished and took one last look at Finn. He handed Finn a mirror.
“Hey, thanks man.”
“It’s no problem. But can you do me a favor, Finn?”
“Sure.”
“The diva-off between Mercedes and Rachel tomorrow…can you make sure that they don’t kill each other?”
Finn chuckled and nodded. Kurt left his brother and went back to getting ready for bed.
*********************
Blaine walked down the corridor to Warblers practice when Jeff stopped him.
"Hey Blaine, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Is everything alright with Kurt?"
"Um, I think so. Why?"
"Because up until last week, I kind of thought that something might've been going on between you two. Then you wanted to do that Gap Attack and that idea was thrown out the window."
"Okay, just because we're both gay doesn't automatically mean that if we hang out together, we're dating."
"I saw you two singing ‘Baby its Cold Outside’ to each other during Christmas. And that's not a 'let's be friends' kind of song."
"Well, we are just friends."
"Anyways, that's not my point. I saw Kurt with a girl last week."
Blaine rolled his eyes and continued walking.
"Kurt has a lot of friends that are girls, Jeff. That's not a big shocker."
"No, you don't get it. He was on a date with a girl. I saw them walking hand in hand and flirting. I was waiting at this small bakery for my date to get off of work and they walked in. I was in the corner, so he didn’t see me but I could tell that he was on a date. He was calling her ‘babe’ and ‘honey’. It practically looked like they were minutes away from making out."
"What? Are you even sure it was him because that sounds nothing like Kurt?"
Suddenly, Wes came from behind them.
"Hey guys, we need to do some major brainstorming for Regionals. We just received a letter about new requirements and themes for this year’s competition."
Jeff just shrugged his shoulders at Blaine and then followed Wes. Blaine stood by himself and was even more confused. He felt someone brush up against him and he turned to see Kurt.
"Hey there, you alright? You look confused."
Blaine smiled.
"Yeah, sorry, just spacing out. Anyways, are we okay?"
"Sure. Why do you ask?"
"Just making sure because you're my best friend, Kurt, and like I said, I don't want to mess this up."
"We're fine, Blaine. I told you last week, I understand where you were coming from. So don't worry about it because frown lines are not attractive."
Kurt walked past him and into the common room. Blaine just smiled and shook his head.
*************************
Ever since Valentines Day, Rachel had been brainstorming what would boy!Rachel look like. She contemplated whether she would look like Finn or maybe Noah. But would she even look right dressing like a jock when she was so small?
She entered Goodwill and went straight for the men’s section. She rummaged through the flannel shirts before realizing that she was going in the wrong direction. Why was she trying to look like a straight boy? Why not look like Kurt's ‘Knight-in-Shining Warbler’? She didn't really know Blaine that well but by the way Kurt described him, he was a very dapper fellow. The only time that she had seen Blaine out of uniform was when she ran into Kurt and Blaine at the mall. His style wasn’t as elaborate as Kurt’s but the boy knew how to dress.
She decided on a pair of dark wash denim jeans, a black striped shirt, and a red cardigan sweater. As she was walking up to the registers, she spotted the perfect accessory to complete her ensemble, a red fedora. She quickly grabbed the hat and paid for all her items. She rushed home and began to put her plan together. She had the costume but now she needed an activity for their date. As soon as she turned her laptop on, an email popped up stating there was going to movie festival at the Revival Theatre and the headlining feature was Victor/Victoria. Rachel smiled to herself…this was the perfect movie.
********************************
“Dude, I can’t go play Call of Duty today. I gotta pick Kurt up from Dalton.”
“Come on, Finn, you gotta be on my team. You’re the only one who can kick Sam’s ass. I can’t lose to Sam and Artie again.”
Rachel listened to Finn and Puck’s conversation from her locker before confronting the two boys.
“I can pick up Kurt. I was planning on doing something with him afterschool anyways.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. What time does he get out?”
“Around 5:30. But make sure to tell him that this was your idea.”
Rachel nodded and went off in the opposite direction. Finn wanted to question Rachel more but Puck was dragged him towards his truck.
Rachel arrived at her house and immediately started getting dressed. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned.
“I still look like a girl.”
The only thing inhibiting her was her chest. She didn’t have a lot going on there but it was still noticeable that she had boobs. She rushed down to the supply closet and got masking tape. She put on a sports bra and then taped her chest flat. Once she was satisfied, she put her shirt back on and smiled.
“Much better.”
She grabbed her wig and put it on for the overall look. She wanted to laugh. She looked like a twelve year old boy. With makeup, she applied fake stubble but it only made it worse. She huffed and quickly washed her face. Suddenly, it hit her that Kurt wouldn’t want to go in his Dalton uniform. She needed to get some clothes for him. She grabbed her sweater and hat and made her way over to her father’s home office. She knocked on the door.
“Papa, can I borrow your coat?”
He looked up from his work.
“Sure. Is something wrong with your coat that we bought you for Hanukah?”
“No, it's just that it doesn’t really go with my outfit.”
He looked at her closely and was about to ask why she was dressed like a boy but she quickly left the room. She grabbed the coat and the keys to her dad’s Mustang.
“Bye Dad! Bye Papa! I’ll be home later!”
“Be careful, Rachel!”
She made her way to Kurt’s house and contemplated whether she should take off the wig but decided that it didn’t really matter with the hat. She rang the doorbell and Finn’s mother answered the door.
“Rachel? I didn’t expect to see you, sweetheart. How are you?”
“I’m good. How are you?”
“I can’t complain.”
“I came to pick up from clothes for Kurt. I’m surprising him at Dalton and was wondering if I could go up to his room?”
“Um, sure.”
Rachel smiled and ran up the stairs to Kurt’s room. She went into his closet and picked out two outfits for Kurt, knowing that he would want some variety. She carefully placed the clothes in a garment bag and grabbed Kurt’s boots. She rushed downstairs.
“Thank you, Mrs. Hudson-Hummel. I shouldn’t have Kurt home too late.”
“Okay. Have fun, I guess.”
Rachel rushed back to her car just as Finn was driving up the driveway. He got out of his truck and called out to his mom.
“Who was that?”
“Rachel. She came for some clothes for Kurt and…I think she was dressed as a boy.”
Finn just looked back.
********************************
Kurt walked out of Warblers practice and searched for Finn's truck since his car was at his dad’s shop being repaired. It was sunset and most of the other Warblers had left already. When he didn't see Finn, he silently cursed to himself.
"I ask one favor of him and he can't remember to pick me up!"
He turned to go back into the school and maybe ask Blaine for a ride, when someone tapped his shoulder. Rachel lowered her voice, trying to sound more masculine.
"Excuse me; I'm looking for this extremely cute boy I'm supposed to take out. His name is Kurt Hummel."
Kurt immediately turned and did a double take.
"Rachel?!"
She chuckled but quickly tried to compose herself.
"No, my name is Ryan... Ryan Berry."
Kurt started laughing.
"Nice to meet you, Ryan. I wasn't expecting anyone to be taking me out tonight."
Rachel changed back to her normal voice.
"You sounded really stressed on the phone the other night and I wanted to return the favor from Valentines. I was going to pick you up at your house but I overheard Finn saying that he had to pick you up. So I told him that I would pick you up and he told me to tell you that this was my idea and he wasn't trying to back out of picking you up."
Kurt smiled and hugged Rachel.
"Thanks, Rach- I mean, Ryan."
She grabbed his book bag and slung it over her shoulder.
"Let me carry your books for you."
Kurt wanted to laugh at Rachel for the total look of discomfort on her face. He had a history final and had to take his ten pound book home to study. They started walking towards Rachel's car and Kurt stopped.
"Hold on, you have something on your face."
He reached into his bag and pulled out a moist towelette. He began wiping Rachel's face and she just closed her eyes.
Across the campus Blaine was walking out of school when he saw Kurt with a shorter boy. He watched as Kurt was laughing and touching his face. He suddenly felt jealous and confused. Who was this guy? He tried to push away the feelings and slowly walked to the dorms.
Kurt finished wiping Rachel's face and smiled.
"All better."
"I wanted to look older, instead of a twelve year old boy, so I tried to apply fake stubble. I didn't want to make it look like you were dating jailbait."
"Rachel, we're both jailbait. Plus, a year ago I still looked like I was twelve years old, so no pressure."
She smiled and grabbed his arm to link it with hers. They walked to a shiny, black Chevy Mustang.
"Rachel, where did you get this car?"
"It's my dad's car. He rarely lets anyone drive it but I had to do some extra chores around the house and sit through a lecture about driving carefully. But I thought this was better than my papa's station wagon."
Kurt got into the car and it still had the new car smell. Rachel took off her hat and Kurt laughed.
“You’re wearing a wig?”
“Well, I’m taking you to the movies and I can’t wear a hat indoors. I knew that you probably didn’t want to go in your uniform, so I went to your house to get some clothes for you. They’re in the backseat.”
“What kind of clothes? Did you just pull anything?”
Rachel rolled her eyes as Kurt reached back to grab the garment bag. He unzipped the bag and expected to see a black top with brown pants or something else completely wrong. He smiled when he saw black skinny jeans and grey top. The other outfit was dark blue jeans and his blue Marc Jacobs jacket.
“Good job, Rachel.”
“Well, it’s just things that I remember you wearing. I was kind of hoping that you wear the black and grey outfit.”
Kurt smirked.
“Can I ask what’s so special about that outfit?”
Kurt then realized what Rachel was wearing was very similar to what Blaine was wearing last month when they bumped into her at the mall. She was trying to recreate their outfits.
“Rachel, are you supposed to be Blaine?”
She blushed.
“Kind of. I figured if the real Blaine can’t see how amazing you are, my version of Blaine will.”
Kurt immediately hugged her.
“You’re an amazing friend, you know that right?”
She smiled and hugged him tighter. She then pulled away.
“I don’t know if you want me to wait while you change inside or you want to change in the back of the car? I promise I won’t look.”
“Uh, I think I’ll change inside. If I try to change while you drive, I’ll wrinkle my clothes. I’ll be right back.”
Kurt ran out of the car of the car and Rachel took this time to fix her wig. Kurt quickly changed and fixed his hair with the ‘emergency’ finishing spray that he kept in his bag. He looked in the mirror and wanted to laugh because he couldn’t believe he was getting nervous. He exited the restroom and ran into David.
“Hey Kurt, what are you still doing here? I would’ve thought you left already.”
“Yeah, I’m just leaving right now. I just needed to change.”
“Oh, are you and Blaine doing something?”
“No.”
David then noticed a guy waving at Kurt from the parking lot.
“Oh, you have an actual date.”
Kurt chuckled.
“It’s not what it seems-”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to explain. I’m happy for you and he’s good-looking. Anyways, have a great weekend and I’ll see you at practice on Monday.”
“David…”
He just patted him on the back and took off towards the dorms. Kurt rushed towards Rachel.
“Come on; let’s go before everyone wants to meet my good-looking boyfriend.”
Rachel smiled and looked around.
“Who said I was good-looking?”
“Rachel, focus!”
She chuckled and then went to open the door for Kurt.
“If people are watching, I want to make it look convincing.”
“Well ‘Ryan’, if I can give you a quick tip, try not walking like a girl. I know you’re supposed to be gay but-”
“That’s what I forgot! I didn’t practice on my ‘walk’.”
“It’s okay, just keep you arms down.”
Rachel nodded and carefully walked over to the driver’s side. She got in, plugged in her iPod and selected her Broadway playlist. She was about to start driving when Kurt stopped her.
“Wait, I need to take a picture of this because you look too good.”
Rachel leaned in towards Kurt and he took a picture of both of them with his phone. He smiled at the picture and then they left the school and made their way to the theatre. They both sang along to ‘Defying Gravity’ and when it came to the High F, Rachel was surprised that Kurt hit the note effortlessly.
“Have you been rehearsing this song, Kurt?”
“No, why do you ask?”
“Because you hit the High F like it was second nature.”
“Oh yeah, about that, I kind of threw the competition last year.”
Rachel placed her hand over her heart.
“Oh Kurt, you threw the competition for me?”
“Uh no, I threw it to protect my dad. I could only imagine the backlash it would’ve created for him if his son sang a girl’s song in a public venue. He already gets upset when people call and leave homophobic messages. I couldn’t do that to him.”
“Aww, Kurt, you’re such a good son. I don’t know if I could give up a chance to perform a solo for my dads.”
“Whatever, Rachel, you totally would’ve done the same. You adore your dads. That’s all I would ever hear when we were younger; ‘my two gay dads said this, my two gay dads did that’.”
Rachel couldn’t help but laugh because he was right. She would give up a solo for her dads but she really doubted she would ever be in that situation. Why would her dads ask her to diminish her talent for them? They finally arrived in front of a small restaurant near the Revival Theatre.
“Okay, Mr. Hummel, we have arrived at our destination. I was thinking we have dinner before walking over to the theatre to watch what I think is the prefect movie for our situation…Victor/Victoria.”
Kurt laughed.
“Nice choice.”
They exited the car and Rachel held her hand out to Kurt. They walked into the restaurant and right up to the Host.
“Welcome to Crave. For how many?”
Rachel slightly lowered her voice.
“I called earlier about a reservation for two under Ryan Berry.”
The older man looked down at the reservation book and nodded.
“Yes, Mr. Berry, if you would just follow me.”
Kurt tried to stifle a laugh as they were shown to their table.
“You’re waiter should be right with you. Enjoy.”
They both just smiled and waited until he left.
“So, how do you like this place?”
“It’s amazing Rachel, but you shouldn’t have done all of this. I heard this place is kind of pricey.”
“Don’t you worry about that, I have a gift card. So feel free to order whatever you want!”
Kurt just shook his head. The waiter finally arrived and they ordered two raspberry teas and Apricot Chicken for Kurt and a Greek salad for Rachel.
“So, how was your week, Kurt?”
“Uneventful. Except for Warblers’ practice but I’m not going to divulge into that since you technically are the enemy.”
Rachel pretended to be disappointed and Kurt just chuckled.
“Ugh, I’m somewhat afraid to ask how your week went with the ‘Diva-Off’ with Mercedes.”
“Well, fret not my fabulous gay boyfriend because no one won. We realized halfway through the song that we were both amazing divas. Also, you were right about Sue just trying to pit us against each other and that’s another reason why I wanted to take you out tonight. I wanted to apologize because it wasn’t fair of me to ask you to take sides. I know being my friend isn’t always easy.”
Kurt raised an eyebrow and Rachel just smirked.
“But I appreciate you putting up with me.”
Kurt winked at Rachel.
“You’re worth it, babe.”
Their food arrived and they spent the rest of their dinner talking about Patti Lapone. Once they finished and Rachel paid, they walked down the street to the theatre. Rachel took off her hat and her wig almost fell off. Kurt chuckled and helped her fix her ‘weave’. He then took the hat and was examining it while Rachel was getting their tickets.
“I’m going to have to borrow this.”
“You can have it! I really doubt I’ll wear it again and I know you probably already have the perfect outfit for it.”
Kurt smiled at his new ‘accessory’ as they made their way to their seats. The lights went dim and the movie started. Five minutes into the movie, Kurt noticed Rachel fidgeting in her seat. He leaned over and whispered to her.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re on a date and every time I’ve gone to the movies, the guy puts his arm around his date. I wanted to the same for you but you’re too tall.”
Kurt stifled a laugh and gave Rachel his hand.
“We can just hold hands instead. Also, I’m pretty sure guys just do that so that they can touch a girl’s boob.”
Rachel blushed and took Kurt’s hand. Once the movie ended, the lights came back on and Kurt noticed a middle-aged couple just staring at Kurt and Rachel’s body language with disgust. Rachel was raving about Julie Andrews’ performance when she realized that Kurt was preoccupied. She saw the couple scoff and felt Kurt’s grip loosen.
“Kurt?”
“I guess your ‘Ryan’ impression is a success since that homophobic couple over there can’t stop staring.”
Rachel moved closer to Kurt and kissed his cheek.
“Let them stare.”
She stood up and held her hand out to Kurt. He took her hand and smiled as she wrapped her arm around his waist. They walked out into the lobby of the theatre and saw that it was pouring rain outside. Rachel frowned and touched her wig.
“My wig’s going to get wet!”
“You’re going to have to take off your weave.”
She took the wig off and tucked it into her inner coat pocket. Kurt covered his newly acquired fedora and took Rachel’s hand.
“Ready?”
She nodded and they ran to her dad’s mustang. They finally got to the car after almost slipping twice. Rachel was trying to catch her breath but the tape around her chest was starting to feel super tight. She turned away from Kurt and quickly unbuttoned her cardigan.
“Rachel, are you okay?”
She tore off the tape and sighed in relief. Kurt started laughing.
“Oh my god, Rachel, did you tape your chest down?”
“I wanted to look like a boy and not just a butch lesbian.”
“Oh Rachel, that’s why I love you. You never do anything halfway.”
She started laughing and it took them ten minutes to finally calm down so that Rachel could drive Kurt home. They reached Kurt’s house and Rachel turned off the car. Kurt turned towards Rachel who was still soaked with her hair in a messy French Braid. She smiled at him.
“I think we should take a picture of us now.”
Kurt took the picture and started laughing again.
“We look like wet puppies! It’s like Cinderella after midnight.”
“Well, I hope you had fun tonight, Kurt.”
“Are you kidding me? It was probably the most fun I ever had in awhile! Thank you, Rachel. You really are amazing.”
She blushed and looked down.
“Kurt, I’ve never really had a friend like you, a best friend. I know that you and Mercedes have something really special-”
“Rachel, you and I have something very special, too. Sometimes I feel like you are the only person who truly understands me. You’re my best friend, too.”
Rachel immediately hugged Kurt and the both teared up. After a couple of minutes, they pulled away and Rachel walked Kurt to his door.
“I really did have an amazing night, Rachel. You make a really amazing gay boyfriend.”
“Well, I do have a lot of inspiration at home.”
Suddenly the front door opened and Finn stood before them.
“Finn?”
“Rachel, what are you wearing? What’s going on here?”
Suddenly, most of the glee club emerged from behind Finn, including Blaine. Kurt’s jaw dropped.
“Blaine, what are you doing here?”
“I was worried about you.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(FLASHBACK earlier that day)
Blaine was walking to his room when he got Picture Mail from Jeff. It opened it and a picture of Kurt looking into the eyes of a short brunette popped up. He couldn’t tell who she was because it was just the back of her head but it definitely was Kurt. And he was dressed…like a guy. Blaine couldn’t believe his eyes. Kurt looked so different that he briefly considered that Kurt might have a doppelganger. But this had to be Kurt. Was Kurt settling for girls because he was truly hurt by Blaine just wanting to be friends? Wait but wasn’t Kurt just talking to a guy outside? Blaine’s head was swimming when he saw David talking to Kurt. He waited until David was walking away to get David’s attention.
“Hey David, who was that guy with Kurt?”
David smiled.
“That was no guy. That was a girl.”
“What? No, it was a guy.”
“Believe me, it was a girl. That was definitely a girl’s body.”
“Okay, now I’m officially confused.”
Blaine rushed up to his room and began to make calls to Kurt’s friends.
Finn was watching Sam and Artie celebrating their victory when his phone started ringing. It was a number he didn’t recognize.
“Uh, hello?”
“Finn, this is Blaine. Kurt gave me your number when you guys went fishing and he was afraid his phone wasn’t going to have reception.”
“Oh, hey man, what’s up? Kurt’s not with me.”
“No, I know. I was just wondering if he’s okay, like emotionally.”
Finn scratched his head.
“Umm, I think he’s okay, I guess. I really don’t talk to him about those kinda things.”
Blaine closed her eyes. Maybe he should’ve called Mercedes first.
“I think he might be going out with girls.”
“What? Again?”
“Again?! He’s dated girls before?”
“Yeah, well, it was just Brittany but I think he was just trying to impress Burt. Wait, why would you say he was dating a girl?”
“Well my friend saw him on Valentine’s with a girl and they were on a date. I have a picture but I can’t tell who she is.”
Finn then remembered his mom saying that Rachel was taking Kurt out. Was Rachel really dating Kurt?
“Could it be Rachel?”
Blaine looked at the picture again and it hit him like a ton of bricks.
“It’s Rachel!”
“Hey, can you meet me at my house and bring the picture to make sure. Because if it’s Rachel, I have a feeling this might be my fault.”
Blaine agreed to meet Finn and made his way to the Hummel household. Finn turned towards Puck.
“I think Kurt and Rachel are dating?”
Puck laughed.
“Yeah, right!”
Finn didn’t respond and just left the house. Puck looked towards Sam and Artie and they all followed Finn. Within twenty minutes, most of the glee club was at Finn's house. They were all wondering why Kurt and Rachel were sneaking around. Mercedes was probably the most skeptical of Blaine's evidence.
"Well, I'm gonna have to see this picture for myself because I seriously doubt that Kurt and Rachel are an item."
"But what I wanna know is why Rachel was dressed like a boy? My mom said that she came for clothes for Kurt and that it looked like she was dressed in guys clothing."
There were more arguments about how Blaine and Finn were more than likely blowing everything out of proportion. Blaine finally arrived and was surprised to see all of Kurt's friends.
"Hey guys!"
"Okay, Blaine Warbler, cough up the picture."
He handed the printed picture to Mercedes and she gasped.
"It's really him!"
Finn took the picture.
"With Rachel. That's definitely her."
*******************************************************************
"We are not dating you guys! Rachel was upset last week so I took her out and she was just returning the favor. It's as simple as that."
"So this has nothing to do with our conversation last week?"
"Come on, Blaine, I know I can be a little emotional at times but I wouldn't stop being gay just because we decided to just be friends."
"What about last year with Brittany?"
"Who told you about Brit?"
Blaine looked towards Finn and he just looked down. Kurt just shook his head and Rachel finally spoke up.
"As much as I enjoy that our acting as a couple was so convincing, I have to reiterate that we were doing just that, acting. While I do care about Kurt, he is definitely gay. And I am no one's hag!"
Mercedes hugged Kurt.
"Sorry about the intervention, boo. But you did look so different in this picture that we thought you were trying to conform to the norm."
"Okay, did I really look that different?"
There was a resounding 'yes' from everyone. He was handed the picture and gasped.
"I guess I didn't realize how different I looked."
Knowing that nothing was going on between Kurt and Rachel, everyone decided to just go home. Kurt walked Blaine outside.
"So, I guess I should apol-"
"Blaine, if you apologize one more time, I'm going to have to strangle you!"
Blaine chuckled and put his hands up.
"So, I guess I'll see you on Monday."
"Goodnight, Blaine."
"Goodnight, Kurt."
Rachel watched from afar as Kurt waved goodbye to Blaine. He turned to see her smiling.
"What are you so happy about? Is it because finally you were romantically linked to someone who actually knows how to dress?"
"No, because Blaine likes you, Kurt! But like, REALLY likes you."
"Why would you say that?"
"Kurt, this whole debacle was because he was jealous! He doesn't want to admit it but he was jealous that you were 'seeing' someone."
Kurt just looked at Rachel, slightly confused at her power of deduction. She kissed his cheek and waved goodbye.
"Sweet dreams, Kurt Hummel!"
He just smirked and shook his head.
"Bye, Ryan Berry!"
Kurt walked back into his house and just went over in his head the crazy night he just had.

I really hope you liked this story. Right now I’m working on a short continuation where Kurt dresses ‘straight’ again and Blaine joins him. It should be up pretty soon

Summary: SEQUEL to "Let's Pretend" It's Rachel's turn to take Kurt out but the only thing they succeed in doing is confusing their friends.
"She thinks that I'm not that talented and that she's the better diva? Well I'll show her. I can't believe that I thought she was my friend but this whole time she was talking behind my back!"
Kurt quietly waited for Rachel to finish her rant before telling her the same thing that he had told Mercedes hours earlier.
"Rachel, are you sure that Sue isn't just trying to pit you two against each other?"
"I knew it! You're taking Mercedes' side! You think that your precious Mercedes could do no wrong and I'm the bad guy."
"I'm not taking anyone's side! I refuse to choose between my two girls. So you both need to resolve your issues because keeping up at Dalton is hard enough without getting back to back phone calls from you and Mercedes while I'm trying to memorize the Bill of Rights."
Kurt hung up the phone and tossed it over to his bed. He really didn't want to seem rude but he really was tired and he had early Warbler practice the next morning. He closed his notebook and was about to start his moisturizing routine when he heard music that he never thought in million years would be coming from Finn’s room. Justin Beiber. He walked over to Finn’s room and peeked in. He saw him fidgeting with his hair and wanted to laugh. He knocked on the door and Finn awkwardly closed his laptop.
“Hey, Kurt.”
“Were you just listening to Justin Beiber?”
“Ha, yeah, it’s for glee. I’ve been trying to get my hair to stay down but-”
Kurt held up his finger and went to get some of his hair products. He came back into Finn’s room and motioned for him to sit down on the bed. Finn obeyed and Kurt squeezed the smoothing serum into his hand.
“You need to apply smoothing serum to your hair or else it’ll just sponge up.”
He started styling Finn’s hair.
“You don’t really need a lot or else it’ll just look greasy. It’s pretty simple.”
He finished and took one last look at Finn. He handed Finn a mirror.
“Hey, thanks man.”
“It’s no problem. But can you do me a favor, Finn?”
“Sure.”
“The diva-off between Mercedes and Rachel tomorrow…can you make sure that they don’t kill each other?”
Finn chuckled and nodded. Kurt left his brother and went back to getting ready for bed.
*********************
Blaine walked down the corridor to Warblers practice when Jeff stopped him.
"Hey Blaine, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Is everything alright with Kurt?"
"Um, I think so. Why?"
"Because up until last week, I kind of thought that something might've been going on between you two. Then you wanted to do that Gap Attack and that idea was thrown out the window."
"Okay, just because we're both gay doesn't automatically mean that if we hang out together, we're dating."
"I saw you two singing ‘Baby its Cold Outside’ to each other during Christmas. And that's not a 'let's be friends' kind of song."
"Well, we are just friends."
"Anyways, that's not my point. I saw Kurt with a girl last week."
Blaine rolled his eyes and continued walking.
"Kurt has a lot of friends that are girls, Jeff. That's not a big shocker."
"No, you don't get it. He was on a date with a girl. I saw them walking hand in hand and flirting. I was waiting at this small bakery for my date to get off of work and they walked in. I was in the corner, so he didn’t see me but I could tell that he was on a date. He was calling her ‘babe’ and ‘honey’. It practically looked like they were minutes away from making out."
"What? Are you even sure it was him because that sounds nothing like Kurt?"
Suddenly, Wes came from behind them.
"Hey guys, we need to do some major brainstorming for Regionals. We just received a letter about new requirements and themes for this year’s competition."
Jeff just shrugged his shoulders at Blaine and then followed Wes. Blaine stood by himself and was even more confused. He felt someone brush up against him and he turned to see Kurt.
"Hey there, you alright? You look confused."
Blaine smiled.
"Yeah, sorry, just spacing out. Anyways, are we okay?"
"Sure. Why do you ask?"
"Just making sure because you're my best friend, Kurt, and like I said, I don't want to mess this up."
"We're fine, Blaine. I told you last week, I understand where you were coming from. So don't worry about it because frown lines are not attractive."
Kurt walked past him and into the common room. Blaine just smiled and shook his head.
*************************
Ever since Valentines Day, Rachel had been brainstorming what would boy!Rachel look like. She contemplated whether she would look like Finn or maybe Noah. But would she even look right dressing like a jock when she was so small?
She entered Goodwill and went straight for the men’s section. She rummaged through the flannel shirts before realizing that she was going in the wrong direction. Why was she trying to look like a straight boy? Why not look like Kurt's ‘Knight-in-Shining Warbler’? She didn't really know Blaine that well but by the way Kurt described him, he was a very dapper fellow. The only time that she had seen Blaine out of uniform was when she ran into Kurt and Blaine at the mall. His style wasn’t as elaborate as Kurt’s but the boy knew how to dress.
She decided on a pair of dark wash denim jeans, a black striped shirt, and a red cardigan sweater. As she was walking up to the registers, she spotted the perfect accessory to complete her ensemble, a red fedora. She quickly grabbed the hat and paid for all her items. She rushed home and began to put her plan together. She had the costume but now she needed an activity for their date. As soon as she turned her laptop on, an email popped up stating there was going to movie festival at the Revival Theatre and the headlining feature was Victor/Victoria. Rachel smiled to herself…this was the perfect movie.
********************************
“Dude, I can’t go play Call of Duty today. I gotta pick Kurt up from Dalton.”
“Come on, Finn, you gotta be on my team. You’re the only one who can kick Sam’s ass. I can’t lose to Sam and Artie again.”
Rachel listened to Finn and Puck’s conversation from her locker before confronting the two boys.
“I can pick up Kurt. I was planning on doing something with him afterschool anyways.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. What time does he get out?”
“Around 5:30. But make sure to tell him that this was your idea.”
Rachel nodded and went off in the opposite direction. Finn wanted to question Rachel more but Puck was dragged him towards his truck.
Rachel arrived at her house and immediately started getting dressed. She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned.
“I still look like a girl.”
The only thing inhibiting her was her chest. She didn’t have a lot going on there but it was still noticeable that she had boobs. She rushed down to the supply closet and got masking tape. She put on a sports bra and then taped her chest flat. Once she was satisfied, she put her shirt back on and smiled.
“Much better.”
She grabbed her wig and put it on for the overall look. She wanted to laugh. She looked like a twelve year old boy. With makeup, she applied fake stubble but it only made it worse. She huffed and quickly washed her face. Suddenly, it hit her that Kurt wouldn’t want to go in his Dalton uniform. She needed to get some clothes for him. She grabbed her sweater and hat and made her way over to her father’s home office. She knocked on the door.
“Papa, can I borrow your coat?”
He looked up from his work.
“Sure. Is something wrong with your coat that we bought you for Hanukah?”
“No, it's just that it doesn’t really go with my outfit.”
He looked at her closely and was about to ask why she was dressed like a boy but she quickly left the room. She grabbed the coat and the keys to her dad’s Mustang.
“Bye Dad! Bye Papa! I’ll be home later!”
“Be careful, Rachel!”
She made her way to Kurt’s house and contemplated whether she should take off the wig but decided that it didn’t really matter with the hat. She rang the doorbell and Finn’s mother answered the door.
“Rachel? I didn’t expect to see you, sweetheart. How are you?”
“I’m good. How are you?”
“I can’t complain.”
“I came to pick up from clothes for Kurt. I’m surprising him at Dalton and was wondering if I could go up to his room?”
“Um, sure.”
Rachel smiled and ran up the stairs to Kurt’s room. She went into his closet and picked out two outfits for Kurt, knowing that he would want some variety. She carefully placed the clothes in a garment bag and grabbed Kurt’s boots. She rushed downstairs.
“Thank you, Mrs. Hudson-Hummel. I shouldn’t have Kurt home too late.”
“Okay. Have fun, I guess.”
Rachel rushed back to her car just as Finn was driving up the driveway. He got out of his truck and called out to his mom.
“Who was that?”
“Rachel. She came for some clothes for Kurt and…I think she was dressed as a boy.”
Finn just looked back.
********************************
Kurt walked out of Warblers practice and searched for Finn's truck since his car was at his dad’s shop being repaired. It was sunset and most of the other Warblers had left already. When he didn't see Finn, he silently cursed to himself.
"I ask one favor of him and he can't remember to pick me up!"
He turned to go back into the school and maybe ask Blaine for a ride, when someone tapped his shoulder. Rachel lowered her voice, trying to sound more masculine.
"Excuse me; I'm looking for this extremely cute boy I'm supposed to take out. His name is Kurt Hummel."
Kurt immediately turned and did a double take.
"Rachel?!"
She chuckled but quickly tried to compose herself.
"No, my name is Ryan... Ryan Berry."
Kurt started laughing.
"Nice to meet you, Ryan. I wasn't expecting anyone to be taking me out tonight."
Rachel changed back to her normal voice.
"You sounded really stressed on the phone the other night and I wanted to return the favor from Valentines. I was going to pick you up at your house but I overheard Finn saying that he had to pick you up. So I told him that I would pick you up and he told me to tell you that this was my idea and he wasn't trying to back out of picking you up."
Kurt smiled and hugged Rachel.
"Thanks, Rach- I mean, Ryan."
She grabbed his book bag and slung it over her shoulder.
"Let me carry your books for you."
Kurt wanted to laugh at Rachel for the total look of discomfort on her face. He had a history final and had to take his ten pound book home to study. They started walking towards Rachel's car and Kurt stopped.
"Hold on, you have something on your face."
He reached into his bag and pulled out a moist towelette. He began wiping Rachel's face and she just closed her eyes.
Across the campus Blaine was walking out of school when he saw Kurt with a shorter boy. He watched as Kurt was laughing and touching his face. He suddenly felt jealous and confused. Who was this guy? He tried to push away the feelings and slowly walked to the dorms.
Kurt finished wiping Rachel's face and smiled.
"All better."
"I wanted to look older, instead of a twelve year old boy, so I tried to apply fake stubble. I didn't want to make it look like you were dating jailbait."
"Rachel, we're both jailbait. Plus, a year ago I still looked like I was twelve years old, so no pressure."
She smiled and grabbed his arm to link it with hers. They walked to a shiny, black Chevy Mustang.
"Rachel, where did you get this car?"
"It's my dad's car. He rarely lets anyone drive it but I had to do some extra chores around the house and sit through a lecture about driving carefully. But I thought this was better than my papa's station wagon."
Kurt got into the car and it still had the new car smell. Rachel took off her hat and Kurt laughed.
“You’re wearing a wig?”
“Well, I’m taking you to the movies and I can’t wear a hat indoors. I knew that you probably didn’t want to go in your uniform, so I went to your house to get some clothes for you. They’re in the backseat.”
“What kind of clothes? Did you just pull anything?”
Rachel rolled her eyes as Kurt reached back to grab the garment bag. He unzipped the bag and expected to see a black top with brown pants or something else completely wrong. He smiled when he saw black skinny jeans and grey top. The other outfit was dark blue jeans and his blue Marc Jacobs jacket.
“Good job, Rachel.”
“Well, it’s just things that I remember you wearing. I was kind of hoping that you wear the black and grey outfit.”
Kurt smirked.
“Can I ask what’s so special about that outfit?”
Kurt then realized what Rachel was wearing was very similar to what Blaine was wearing last month when they bumped into her at the mall. She was trying to recreate their outfits.
“Rachel, are you supposed to be Blaine?”
She blushed.
“Kind of. I figured if the real Blaine can’t see how amazing you are, my version of Blaine will.”
Kurt immediately hugged her.
“You’re an amazing friend, you know that right?”
She smiled and hugged him tighter. She then pulled away.
“I don’t know if you want me to wait while you change inside or you want to change in the back of the car? I promise I won’t look.”
“Uh, I think I’ll change inside. If I try to change while you drive, I’ll wrinkle my clothes. I’ll be right back.”
Kurt ran out of the car of the car and Rachel took this time to fix her wig. Kurt quickly changed and fixed his hair with the ‘emergency’ finishing spray that he kept in his bag. He looked in the mirror and wanted to laugh because he couldn’t believe he was getting nervous. He exited the restroom and ran into David.
“Hey Kurt, what are you still doing here? I would’ve thought you left already.”
“Yeah, I’m just leaving right now. I just needed to change.”
“Oh, are you and Blaine doing something?”
“No.”
David then noticed a guy waving at Kurt from the parking lot.
“Oh, you have an actual date.”
Kurt chuckled.
“It’s not what it seems-”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to explain. I’m happy for you and he’s good-looking. Anyways, have a great weekend and I’ll see you at practice on Monday.”
“David…”
He just patted him on the back and took off towards the dorms. Kurt rushed towards Rachel.
“Come on; let’s go before everyone wants to meet my good-looking boyfriend.”
Rachel smiled and looked around.
“Who said I was good-looking?”
“Rachel, focus!”
She chuckled and then went to open the door for Kurt.
“If people are watching, I want to make it look convincing.”
“Well ‘Ryan’, if I can give you a quick tip, try not walking like a girl. I know you’re supposed to be gay but-”
“That’s what I forgot! I didn’t practice on my ‘walk’.”
“It’s okay, just keep you arms down.”
Rachel nodded and carefully walked over to the driver’s side. She got in, plugged in her iPod and selected her Broadway playlist. She was about to start driving when Kurt stopped her.
“Wait, I need to take a picture of this because you look too good.”
Rachel leaned in towards Kurt and he took a picture of both of them with his phone. He smiled at the picture and then they left the school and made their way to the theatre. They both sang along to ‘Defying Gravity’ and when it came to the High F, Rachel was surprised that Kurt hit the note effortlessly.
“Have you been rehearsing this song, Kurt?”
“No, why do you ask?”
“Because you hit the High F like it was second nature.”
“Oh yeah, about that, I kind of threw the competition last year.”
Rachel placed her hand over her heart.
“Oh Kurt, you threw the competition for me?”
“Uh no, I threw it to protect my dad. I could only imagine the backlash it would’ve created for him if his son sang a girl’s song in a public venue. He already gets upset when people call and leave homophobic messages. I couldn’t do that to him.”
“Aww, Kurt, you’re such a good son. I don’t know if I could give up a chance to perform a solo for my dads.”
“Whatever, Rachel, you totally would’ve done the same. You adore your dads. That’s all I would ever hear when we were younger; ‘my two gay dads said this, my two gay dads did that’.”
Rachel couldn’t help but laugh because he was right. She would give up a solo for her dads but she really doubted she would ever be in that situation. Why would her dads ask her to diminish her talent for them? They finally arrived in front of a small restaurant near the Revival Theatre.
“Okay, Mr. Hummel, we have arrived at our destination. I was thinking we have dinner before walking over to the theatre to watch what I think is the prefect movie for our situation…Victor/Victoria.”
Kurt laughed.
“Nice choice.”
They exited the car and Rachel held her hand out to Kurt. They walked into the restaurant and right up to the Host.
“Welcome to Crave. For how many?”
Rachel slightly lowered her voice.
“I called earlier about a reservation for two under Ryan Berry.”
The older man looked down at the reservation book and nodded.
“Yes, Mr. Berry, if you would just follow me.”
Kurt tried to stifle a laugh as they were shown to their table.
“You’re waiter should be right with you. Enjoy.”
They both just smiled and waited until he left.
“So, how do you like this place?”
“It’s amazing Rachel, but you shouldn’t have done all of this. I heard this place is kind of pricey.”
“Don’t you worry about that, I have a gift card. So feel free to order whatever you want!”
Kurt just shook his head. The waiter finally arrived and they ordered two raspberry teas and Apricot Chicken for Kurt and a Greek salad for Rachel.
“So, how was your week, Kurt?”
“Uneventful. Except for Warblers’ practice but I’m not going to divulge into that since you technically are the enemy.”
Rachel pretended to be disappointed and Kurt just chuckled.
“Ugh, I’m somewhat afraid to ask how your week went with the ‘Diva-Off’ with Mercedes.”
“Well, fret not my fabulous gay boyfriend because no one won. We realized halfway through the song that we were both amazing divas. Also, you were right about Sue just trying to pit us against each other and that’s another reason why I wanted to take you out tonight. I wanted to apologize because it wasn’t fair of me to ask you to take sides. I know being my friend isn’t always easy.”
Kurt raised an eyebrow and Rachel just smirked.
“But I appreciate you putting up with me.”
Kurt winked at Rachel.
“You’re worth it, babe.”
Their food arrived and they spent the rest of their dinner talking about Patti Lapone. Once they finished and Rachel paid, they walked down the street to the theatre. Rachel took off her hat and her wig almost fell off. Kurt chuckled and helped her fix her ‘weave’. He then took the hat and was examining it while Rachel was getting their tickets.
“I’m going to have to borrow this.”
“You can have it! I really doubt I’ll wear it again and I know you probably already have the perfect outfit for it.”
Kurt smiled at his new ‘accessory’ as they made their way to their seats. The lights went dim and the movie started. Five minutes into the movie, Kurt noticed Rachel fidgeting in her seat. He leaned over and whispered to her.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re on a date and every time I’ve gone to the movies, the guy puts his arm around his date. I wanted to the same for you but you’re too tall.”
Kurt stifled a laugh and gave Rachel his hand.
“We can just hold hands instead. Also, I’m pretty sure guys just do that so that they can touch a girl’s boob.”
Rachel blushed and took Kurt’s hand. Once the movie ended, the lights came back on and Kurt noticed a middle-aged couple just staring at Kurt and Rachel’s body language with disgust. Rachel was raving about Julie Andrews’ performance when she realized that Kurt was preoccupied. She saw the couple scoff and felt Kurt’s grip loosen.
“Kurt?”
“I guess your ‘Ryan’ impression is a success since that homophobic couple over there can’t stop staring.”
Rachel moved closer to Kurt and kissed his cheek.
“Let them stare.”
She stood up and held her hand out to Kurt. He took her hand and smiled as she wrapped her arm around his waist. They walked out into the lobby of the theatre and saw that it was pouring rain outside. Rachel frowned and touched her wig.
“My wig’s going to get wet!”
“You’re going to have to take off your weave.”
She took the wig off and tucked it into her inner coat pocket. Kurt covered his newly acquired fedora and took Rachel’s hand.
“Ready?”
She nodded and they ran to her dad’s mustang. They finally got to the car after almost slipping twice. Rachel was trying to catch her breath but the tape around her chest was starting to feel super tight. She turned away from Kurt and quickly unbuttoned her cardigan.
“Rachel, are you okay?”
She tore off the tape and sighed in relief. Kurt started laughing.
“Oh my god, Rachel, did you tape your chest down?”
“I wanted to look like a boy and not just a butch lesbian.”
“Oh Rachel, that’s why I love you. You never do anything halfway.”
She started laughing and it took them ten minutes to finally calm down so that Rachel could drive Kurt home. They reached Kurt’s house and Rachel turned off the car. Kurt turned towards Rachel who was still soaked with her hair in a messy French Braid. She smiled at him.
“I think we should take a picture of us now.”
Kurt took the picture and started laughing again.
“We look like wet puppies! It’s like Cinderella after midnight.”
“Well, I hope you had fun tonight, Kurt.”
“Are you kidding me? It was probably the most fun I ever had in awhile! Thank you, Rachel. You really are amazing.”
She blushed and looked down.
“Kurt, I’ve never really had a friend like you, a best friend. I know that you and Mercedes have something really special-”
“Rachel, you and I have something very special, too. Sometimes I feel like you are the only person who truly understands me. You’re my best friend, too.”
Rachel immediately hugged Kurt and the both teared up. After a couple of minutes, they pulled away and Rachel walked Kurt to his door.
“I really did have an amazing night, Rachel. You make a really amazing gay boyfriend.”
“Well, I do have a lot of inspiration at home.”
Suddenly the front door opened and Finn stood before them.
“Finn?”
“Rachel, what are you wearing? What’s going on here?”
Suddenly, most of the glee club emerged from behind Finn, including Blaine. Kurt’s jaw dropped.
“Blaine, what are you doing here?”
“I was worried about you.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(FLASHBACK earlier that day)
Blaine was walking to his room when he got Picture Mail from Jeff. It opened it and a picture of Kurt looking into the eyes of a short brunette popped up. He couldn’t tell who she was because it was just the back of her head but it definitely was Kurt. And he was dressed…like a guy. Blaine couldn’t believe his eyes. Kurt looked so different that he briefly considered that Kurt might have a doppelganger. But this had to be Kurt. Was Kurt settling for girls because he was truly hurt by Blaine just wanting to be friends? Wait but wasn’t Kurt just talking to a guy outside? Blaine’s head was swimming when he saw David talking to Kurt. He waited until David was walking away to get David’s attention.
“Hey David, who was that guy with Kurt?”
David smiled.
“That was no guy. That was a girl.”
“What? No, it was a guy.”
“Believe me, it was a girl. That was definitely a girl’s body.”
“Okay, now I’m officially confused.”
Blaine rushed up to his room and began to make calls to Kurt’s friends.
Finn was watching Sam and Artie celebrating their victory when his phone started ringing. It was a number he didn’t recognize.
“Uh, hello?”
“Finn, this is Blaine. Kurt gave me your number when you guys went fishing and he was afraid his phone wasn’t going to have reception.”
“Oh, hey man, what’s up? Kurt’s not with me.”
“No, I know. I was just wondering if he’s okay, like emotionally.”
Finn scratched his head.
“Umm, I think he’s okay, I guess. I really don’t talk to him about those kinda things.”
Blaine closed her eyes. Maybe he should’ve called Mercedes first.
“I think he might be going out with girls.”
“What? Again?”
“Again?! He’s dated girls before?”
“Yeah, well, it was just Brittany but I think he was just trying to impress Burt. Wait, why would you say he was dating a girl?”
“Well my friend saw him on Valentine’s with a girl and they were on a date. I have a picture but I can’t tell who she is.”
Finn then remembered his mom saying that Rachel was taking Kurt out. Was Rachel really dating Kurt?
“Could it be Rachel?”
Blaine looked at the picture again and it hit him like a ton of bricks.
“It’s Rachel!”
“Hey, can you meet me at my house and bring the picture to make sure. Because if it’s Rachel, I have a feeling this might be my fault.”
Blaine agreed to meet Finn and made his way to the Hummel household. Finn turned towards Puck.
“I think Kurt and Rachel are dating?”
Puck laughed.
“Yeah, right!”
Finn didn’t respond and just left the house. Puck looked towards Sam and Artie and they all followed Finn. Within twenty minutes, most of the glee club was at Finn's house. They were all wondering why Kurt and Rachel were sneaking around. Mercedes was probably the most skeptical of Blaine's evidence.
"Well, I'm gonna have to see this picture for myself because I seriously doubt that Kurt and Rachel are an item."
"But what I wanna know is why Rachel was dressed like a boy? My mom said that she came for clothes for Kurt and that it looked like she was dressed in guys clothing."
There were more arguments about how Blaine and Finn were more than likely blowing everything out of proportion. Blaine finally arrived and was surprised to see all of Kurt's friends.
"Hey guys!"
"Okay, Blaine Warbler, cough up the picture."
He handed the printed picture to Mercedes and she gasped.
"It's really him!"
Finn took the picture.
"With Rachel. That's definitely her."
*******************************************************************
"We are not dating you guys! Rachel was upset last week so I took her out and she was just returning the favor. It's as simple as that."
"So this has nothing to do with our conversation last week?"
"Come on, Blaine, I know I can be a little emotional at times but I wouldn't stop being gay just because we decided to just be friends."
"What about last year with Brittany?"
"Who told you about Brit?"
Blaine looked towards Finn and he just looked down. Kurt just shook his head and Rachel finally spoke up.
"As much as I enjoy that our acting as a couple was so convincing, I have to reiterate that we were doing just that, acting. While I do care about Kurt, he is definitely gay. And I am no one's hag!"
Mercedes hugged Kurt.
"Sorry about the intervention, boo. But you did look so different in this picture that we thought you were trying to conform to the norm."
"Okay, did I really look that different?"
There was a resounding 'yes' from everyone. He was handed the picture and gasped.
"I guess I didn't realize how different I looked."
Knowing that nothing was going on between Kurt and Rachel, everyone decided to just go home. Kurt walked Blaine outside.
"So, I guess I should apol-"
"Blaine, if you apologize one more time, I'm going to have to strangle you!"
Blaine chuckled and put his hands up.
"So, I guess I'll see you on Monday."
"Goodnight, Blaine."
"Goodnight, Kurt."
Rachel watched from afar as Kurt waved goodbye to Blaine. He turned to see her smiling.
"What are you so happy about? Is it because finally you were romantically linked to someone who actually knows how to dress?"
"No, because Blaine likes you, Kurt! But like, REALLY likes you."
"Why would you say that?"
"Kurt, this whole debacle was because he was jealous! He doesn't want to admit it but he was jealous that you were 'seeing' someone."
Kurt just looked at Rachel, slightly confused at her power of deduction. She kissed his cheek and waved goodbye.
"Sweet dreams, Kurt Hummel!"
He just smirked and shook his head.
"Bye, Ryan Berry!"
Kurt walked back into his house and just went over in his head the crazy night he just had.
***********************************************************************
I really hope you liked this story. Right now I’m working on a short continuation where Kurt dresses ‘straight’ again and Blaine joins him. It should be up pretty soon
