Kurt silently walked by Bill, still staring at the ground. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been. How could he have really thought it was going to be that easy? When had anything in his life ever been that easy? And how had both Bill and Blaine known how he really felt and he didn't? But he could see it now, how a small part of him was terrified. Scared to death of being that hurt again. Weakly he pushed the up button for the elevator.

As soon as it arrived he slowly walked into it and rested his head on the cold metal wall. All he wanted to do was take a long walk and clear his head but he really did have a lot of work to do. Plus, he didn't want Blaine to know that anything was going wrong with him. Kurt didn't know why, but he really just felt like Blaine couldn't know about what had just happened. He figured it was because he didn't want to see that pained look ever come across his beautiful face again. So for now, Kurt had to deal with this on his own.

Too soon the elevator arrived on his floor and he forced himself off of the wall and out the open door. Keeping his eyes fixed on the wall in front of him, he didn't make eye contact with anyone. Kurt really did not want to be seen crying at work. Again. He felt like he had been walking for miles by the time he finally reached the safe haven of his office. Breathing out a shaky breath he quickly threw himself into his chair and put his forehead in his palms.

What was he going to do? He thought he loved Blaine. But he couldn't be with Blaine because he was afraid of being hurt. He wanted Blaine. But he that wouldn't be fair to either one of them. Kurt had woken up this morning with so much hope for the future and now his heart just felt like a stone in his chest. A stone that was starting to have fissure lines.

"Okay, I'm getting really sick of walking in here and seeing you with your head down."

Kurt hadn't heard the door open but he looked up and met Cathy's eyes. He tried to force a smile but he knew all he was able to get out was a sick sort of grimace.

"Jesus," Cathy breathed, "what's wrong?"

"N-N-Nothing," Kurt's voice shook as tears threatened dangerously again.

Cathy smiled halfheartedly and immediately walked around Kurt's desk. He felt her small hands in his under pits and stood up like she wanted him to. As soon as he was on his feet Cathy threw her arms around him. Kurt was surprised at the action but he quickly wound his arms around Cathy's small body. Not being able to hold it in any longer his body quickly started to shake with tears.

"It's okay, Kurt. Everything is going to be okay. Just let it all out. I've got you."

Tears raked through his body harder at Cathy's words. All she did was hug him tighter and let his tears hit the top of her blonde head. Kurt felt her hands run up and down his back in a comforting gesture and the sobs started to subside.

"Wh-Where's B-B-Bl-Blaine?" He choked out.

"I sent him off on some wild goose chase. I didn't know what happened Friday night and I didn't know if you would want to see him right away or not."

Kurt snuffled but smiled, "Y-You're a really good friend you k-know that?"

"Don't even think about telling anyone," she said as she smiled up at him. He managed a weak little laugh in response before he let go of her and fell back down into his seat.

She took the seat on the other side of Kurt's desk and just waited. Kurt knew she would stay there until he started to talk or told her that he couldn't. He didn't want to go through this alone. And since he couldn't tell Blaine...he launched into the whole story. Starting from Friday night in the club up until what had just happened with Bill. By the time he had finished a few tears were leaking out of his eyes again.

"And now I just don't know what to do! I do love Blaine...I think?" Kurt said miserably.

"Can I pleeeeeaaasssse tell Harvey what that douche bag Bill did to you? That's bordering assault honey."

"No. I don't want to encourage him in anyway. I don't need him stalking outside of work. He'll give up eventually, right?"

Cathy's face twisted into a half smile, "Sure." But Kurt could tell she didn't believe it, she was just trying to pacify him. Truth be told, he didn't believe it either.

Kurt rested his forehead down on his desk, trying his best not to let tears overpower him again. "Why is this so hard?"

"Your desk or the situation?"

"Not that I don't appreciate the attempted humor, but..." Kurt said to his desk.

"I know. I'm sorry. I'm just grasping at straws here to try and make you smile."

He lifted his head off of the desk and grimaced again.

"Nice try," Cathy smiled and shook her head at him.

"What do I do?" he whispered pathetically.

"You love Blaine right? You think? You want to be with him?"

"He makes me feel alive. Just seeing him smile makes happiness flood through my whole body. When we kissed, it was like he erased all of my mistakes and that they didn't matter, that everything was perfect and always would be. Now that I've had him back for one night, I don't know if I could give him up again," Kurt let the words pour out of his mouth, words that he had been dying to say for so long. He meant every single one of them, he knew it.

"Then you keep fighting. Screw Bill. You have to convince Blaine, and yourself how you really feel. If you love him, it'll be worth it."

"Do I love him though? Or did he hurt me too much?" He asked miserably.

"I don't know. That's what you have to figure out. But if you asked for what I see as an outsider, I really do think you love him. And that you're terrified, but I've never seen someone that looks at another person like you look at Blaine outside of a romantic comedy."

"Am I really that obvious?" Kurt laughed, just a bit.

"Yeah, but if helps any, he looks at you the exact same way. You guys are sickeningly cute."

"So I've heard. I just can't wait for the day I can say that about you and the poor bastard that falls for you," he joked, trying to get some of the attention off of him. He was sick of talking about this, it just made his head spin.

To his surprise, Cathy started to turn a light shade of pink at his words. "And what's this? Cathy, you're blushing! You never blush."

"I know!" She wailed and she slammed her face into her hands. "What's wrong with me! I keep doing that!" Her words were muffled by her hands.

"What? Blushing?" The only response he got was Cathy frantically nodding her head, hands still over her face.

"It happens to me all the time, don't worry about it. I am however, curious as to why you are blushing?"

She slowly removed her hands and Kurt saw that her face was now a flaming red color, he smiled in amusement. Cathy scowled at him, "Shut up."

"Ah there's the Cathy I know and sometimes pretend to love. Now cough it up. What's got you like this?"

Breaking eye contact she started to look all around the room and she mumbled something under her breath. Kurt had no clue what she had said, "Come on! It can't be that bad! You know my whole life's story!"

"I met someone okay! Happy now?!" She roared at him.

"Now was that so hard?" he teased and she shot him a death glare.

"I told myself I would never get like this over a guy. Ever. I made it through high school and college without being the girl giggling and blushing whenever she thought about her boyfriend. And now look at me! It's so embarrassing!"

"You should be happy. Okay out with it. Who is he? When can I meet him?"

The color that had faded from her face returned with full force, "Um. You kinda already did. At the club? Do you remember?"

Kurt broke out into laughter, he couldn't help it. Even when he saw Cathy staring at him with anger written all over her features. "I'm sorry," he gasped out, "it's just...leave it to you to find someone while drunk off your rocker."

"Oh shut up," she snapped for a second time, "you don't know him. He's handsome and sweet and loving. I had never been touched so gently. And he cooks, Kurt! He made me breakfast! He is constantly telling me how beautiful I am and how lucky he feels that he met me. How he doesn't want us to be just a one night stand."

As she was talking Kurt felt the smile on his face grow. It was wonderful to see his best friend so happy. She talked a big game, but he knew she was lonely and he really couldn't wait for the day she found someone worth her time that would put up with her sarcasm and attitude. "I'm so happy for you," Kurt said honestly.

"We spent the whole weekend together. We're really going to try to make it work. Even though we did things kind of out of order.

"Doesn't matter the order if you love someone."

"Ugh, don't say that word. I just met him Friday. We are a long way from love."

He laughed a little under his breath, "Whatever. I'm happy for you regardless."

Cathy smiled warmly at him. The last of her blush finally completely disappearing from her face. "Thank you. Hey! I just got a brilliant idea. I ordered two tickets for Greg and I to see that Rent show-"

"You mean the Rent revival they are doing for one week. In the original theater?! Do you realize how hard tickets are to get to that?! That is way more than just 'that Rent show.' I am so jealous."

"Will you just let me finish? As I was saying, I don't really know much about the show or really care, I just bought them for Greg cause he's like...really weirdly into it. But...I'm going to give them to you. Take Blaine. I know you love it and I bet he does to. Go and figure your shit out, 'cause if you guys can't make this work I have no hope for myself."

"Cathy. That's very sweet of you, but I can't accept that. Those tickets are impossible to get, whether you know the show or not," Kurt shook his head sadly. He really had wanted to go to that show.

"I won't take no for an answer. You are taking them. I'm too emotionally invested in you two to see it all be for nothing. Please take them? Please?"

"Okay fine! But only cause you asked nicely. Plus I really wanna go to that show," Kurt laughed.

"Great! You'll go to the show. Blaine will love you for the tickets, you'll love Blaine cause he loves you and then you guys will fuck and everything will be perfect!"

Kurt let out a breathy laugh, "I wish it was that easy."

"It must be driving you crazy though. After Blaine cock-blocked you Friday night...you must be freaking out to get into his pants."

"Who's getting into who's pants and why wasn't I invited?" a loud voice said from behind Cathy.

"Blaine!" Kurt squeaked as he turned an intense shade of crimson. He had just been about to tell Cathy how it actually was on his mind more than he would like to admit...

"Hey babe!" Blaine said loudly as he basically bounded all the way over to the side of the desk Kurt was sitting on. Once he got there he immediately leaned down and pressed his lips to Kurt's cheek.

"Blaine," Kurt reprimanded but he laughed breathlessly anyway, "we are at work!"

"Sorry," Blaine was still leaning down, "seven years."

"Enough said," Kurt whispered before pressing his lips into Blaine's. He heard the intake of breath from Blaine, Kurt knew he had surprised him but soon enough Blaine was kissing him back. It seemed like as soon as they're lips touched they both forgot where they were. Blaine's hand cupped the back of Kurt's neck as his tongue started to try and trace the outline of Kurt's bottom lip. However it stopped and quickly moved back into Blaine's mouth as soon as a loud retching sound filled their ears.

"Go away Cathy. M'busy," Blaine mumbled into Kurt's lips before pressing them down more firmly again. Kurt inhaled sharply and pressed back just as hard. He felt the fingers on the back of his neck tighten, but not in a threatening way, Kurt knew if he tried to get away Blaine would let him. But he didn't want to, he liked the weight and heat of Blaine's palm there. A half choked out moan came out of the back of his throat. However Cathy had started talking again so he didn't think Blaine had heard it.

"Okay, as hot as this is guys. We are kinda not in the best place for you two to start ripping each other's clothes off."

Neither stopped. If anything their lips started to move faster and more insistent at the thought of the kiss ending. Kurt reached one hand up to cup the side of Blaine's face and he could feel the muscles moving below his fingertips. He ached to be closer to the warm body in front of him, the distance feeling heavy and cold. But Blaine had finally worked his tongue into Kurt's mouth and suddenly Kurt didn't feel cold at all anymore.

Kurt continued to get lost in the feeling of Blaine's lips on his until he felt a hard whack on the top of his head. Reacting involuntarily his mouth claimed shut, hard. His eyes snapped open when he realized he was biting down his tongue, but that it didn't hurt at all. However, Blaine's eyes were open wide with tears starting to fill the corners and he was making quiet, little, whimpering sounds. Kurt quickly opened his mouth and Blaine's tongue was immediately gone and he was standing up.

"Thyou bpit bme!" Blaine yelled, his words coming out garbled because he was holding his tongue outside of his mouth.

"Oh my God! I am so sorry! It's Cathy's fault! She hit me in the back of the head!" Kurt yelled back and started pointing to Cathy. When he finally turned and looked at her she was bent in half in her seat laughing.

"Wthat is tho fun-nay?" Blaine still had his tongue hanging out.

"I'm sorry," she wheezed, "that just worked out way better than I thought it would. I mean, I had to do something, you guys were about 30 seconds from doing it on Kurt's desk."

Kurt felt a twinge of arousal sweep through his whole body at Cathy's words but instead of showing that he said, "Give us more credit than that. It takes more than just some light making out to get us there, right Blaine?"

Blaine still had his tongue sticking out but he nodded quickly, looking like a cartoon character. His eyes had darkened just a little and Kurt had to shake himself of the stronger feeling of arousal that the sight had caused.

He sighed and said "Come 'ere," to Blaine who slowly shuffled forward. Kurt looked down at Blaine's tongue, trying to see if he had broken the skin. It was redder than normal and a little puffy but other than that it looked fine. It looked more than fine actually, Kurt's lips twitched at the thought of how much he just wanted to run his own tongue over Blaine's. How Blaine would whimper because of how sore it already was...

"You're fine," he said slightly more higher pitched than normal. Blaine noticed and cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Just put your tongue back inside your mouth. You're fine. I didn't break the skin."

Blaine slowly pulled the muscle back into his mouth and swallowed. "Ow," he said weakly looking at Kurt under his lashes.

"It'll be okay," Kurt reassured and kissed Blaine's forehead. He smiled in response.

"Well if you two aren't so fucking adorable. I'll be in the bathroom sticking my finger down my throat," Cathy snapped and then quickly exited the office. Both men laughed.

"I am sorry I bit you," Kurt said quietly.

"It's okay. It'll feel better soon enough. You've given me worse," Blaine teased. Kurt gulped.

"Soooo," Kurt said awkwardly, "how was your weekend?"

"Uneventful. I missed you though. I jumped out of bed today just knowing that I would be seeing you."

Kurt smiled, "I missed you too. And guess what? I've got something great to tell you!"

Blaine narrowed his eyes at Kurt, "Don't tease me."

"I got us tickets to the Rent revival in two weeks!"

Disbelief washed over Blaine's face followed immediately by overwhelming joy, his eyes sparkling. "You better not be messing with me."

"I'm not! We're going!"

As soon as the words were out of Kurt's mouth Blaine had thrown his arms around him. Enveloping him in a tight and close hug. Kurt laughed breathlessly and hugged back. "I take that as in you'll join me?" Kurt teased.

Blaine moved further away but kept his arms around Kurt, "Do you even have to ask? I'd go anywhere for you. But that! Holy crap, Kurt!" And Blaine latched onto Kurt again.

"Okay, okay," Kurt laughed.

Blaine pulled away again, "I'd kiss you right now, but you kinda killed my tongue."

Rolling his eyes he said, "Kissing doesn't have to involve tongues you know."

"Yes it does. If I'm kissing you."

Kurt blushed and broke eye contact, giddiness filling his body.

"Kurt?" Blaine questioned, his voice sounding more serious all of a sudden. Kurt looked back up to meet his worried expression. "I hate to have to ask this. But...what are we?"

Immediately Kurt stiffened. Sensing his discomfort Blaine broke his hold. He smiled sadly at Kurt. "I just want to know that way I don't overstep my boundaries."

Oh. Relief washed through Kurt. He had been thinking that Blaine was going to think that they were in a relationship. Kurt wasn't ready for that, he palms started to sweat at the thought.

"D-D-Dating. I'd say we are dating," he stammered.

"Okay," Blaine said simply, easily. "And you don't mind kissing people you are dating do you?"

Kurt let out a small laugh even if the unease was back in the pit of his stomach, "Did I seem to mind?"

"No," Blaine laughed himself.

"Is that okay?" Kurt questioned despite himself. "Is that okay with you? That we're just...dating?"

Blaine smiled, "For now it is. I'm not going to rush you into anything Kurt."

Kurt nodded, and smiled. But he couldn't get the troubled feeling out his stomach.
