Only you

Chapter 6

The caption read: Blaine Anderson's New Boyfriend!

"I'm going to kill him!"

"Is that true?"

Kurt dragged his eyes away from the scandalous article to see his father looking at it from where he was standing.

"No Dad," Kurt told him. "Blaine and I are just friends. And besides that Blaine isn't out of the closet even if he were gay."

"Since when have you been friends with Blaine Anderson?" Burt asked in confusion.

"Since awhile now," Kurt admitted. "He joined glee club at the beginning of the year."

"He's a cool dude," Finn added helpfully.

"Well I have to get to work since I do have a business to run, " Burt said turning towards the door. "Carole called your school so you guys can skip today. Hopefully this whole mess will be sorted out tomorrow."

Kurt nodded and walked up to his room and when he walked through the door, he heard his phone ring. He lunged for it, very thankful to see that it was Blaine calling.

"You have some explaining to do," Kurt remarked before Blaine could speak.

"I'm so sorry about all of this Kurt, I never thought something like this would happen.

My publicist is furious and is trying to find out the name of the photographer, though we both suspect that a student is behind it," Blaine said.

"That would surprise me," Kurt said, thinking of Jacob Ben Israel's annoying paparazzi-like antics. "Kids at McKinley like their gossip."

"Are you going to school?" Blaine asked.

"I'm not brave enough to face the hoard outside, much less school," Kurt said. "You?"

"Definitely not," Blaine said, chuckling. "I may be a celebrity but I usually try to avoid the media."

"And you are not modest at all," Kurt joked, but then he sobered. "I'm sorry that you are being forced out of the closet like this."

"I'm not," Blaine replied. "My publicist did damage control and stated for the record that we are just friends."

"Oh," Kurt said, not really sure why he suddenly felt disappointed. "So do you think this will blow over?"

"I think we should just act normally because they will really suspect something if we go out of our way to avoid each other," Blaine said.

"That makes sense," Kurt agreed.

I'm going to face the music tomorrow," Blaine said. "You?"

"If I can get out to my car then yes I'll be there," Kurt replied.

Kurt kept busy for the rest of the day. He spent over an hour on the phone with Blaine, studied for a test, and read the new issue of Vogue.

Midway through the day the paparazzi slowly started to recognize that they wouldn't be able to harass Kurt that day, and headed out one by one.

When most of the crowd left, Kurt was able to persuade Finn to move his Navigator into the garage so that they would be able to escape easily the next day.

At dinner they spent the whole time listening to Burt's complaints about how the reporters followed him for the shop and remained there for a good chunk of the day.

Afterwards, Kurt distracted himself by giving into Finn's request of playing video games with him, where Kurt was actually the surprising victor.

"You hardly ever play, how did you win?"

Kurt shrugged, "I just pressed buttons."

"Beginner's luck," Finn muttered.

The following morning the first thing Kurt did was look outside his window.

Paparazzi were lined up outside the same way they had the day before, but Kurt snapped his blinds back annoyed.

He wasn't going to let them keep him trapped in his house for another day. He showered, dressed, and styled his hair before heading downstairs.

Burt glanced at Kurt over the rim of his coffee mug and took in his son's appearance. "So you are going to brave the wolves today?"

Kurt nodded, pouring himself some coffee. "I really don't want to be cooped up here for another, plus glee practice is today."

"Be careful," Burt warned.

Talk to us, Kurt!"

"Are you in a relationship with Blaine Anderson?"

"Is Blaine Anderson gay?"

Kurt did his best to block out the noise from the dozens of reporters who were standing outside the gate of the school.

He grabbed his messenger bag from his car and walked into McKinley with Finn at his side.

"I'll see you in glee," Finn said and then he headed off towards Rachel's locker.

It was unavoidable for Kurt to notice how the other students were treating him strangely today.

Sure they always treated him differently for being the only out gay kid at the school, and more recently for being friends with Blaine, but this was different.

Whereas before people wanted to get on his good side since he was friends with the pop star, now they were looking at him suspiciously and whispering about him behind his back. Kurt didn't like it at all.

In his classes the difference was even more noticeable when the girls who had been complimenting him, sudden started glaring at him like he had just kicked their puppy.

The jocks showed their animosity towards him by slamming him in lockers and hitting him with two slushies simultaneously.

But it wasn't until he entered the cafeteria that he really noticed how much the school despised him at the moment.

When he walked in the door, everyone turned to stare at him and then moments later whispering and pointing broke out.

Kurt ignored them all and held his head up high as he walked to the glee table.

"Boy, the whole school is talking about you!" Mercedes joked when he sat down.

"I hadn't noticed," Kurt remarked sarcastically.

"It will all blow over in no time," Tina said encouragingly. "They just need something to gossip about."

"I'm glad to be everyone's entertainment," Kurt muttered.

At that moment the whispering grew louder and when Kurt looked up he was glad to see that Blaine had entered the cafeteria.

He looked good, dressed in his normal attire with a 'don't mess with me' expression on his face.

Nobody was bold enough to talk to him, but a group of girls giggled loudly when he walked past.

When Blaine drew close to the glee table, his eyes finally met Kurt's. The expression in his gaze, however, seriously unnerved Kurt.

"Blaine?"

"Don't talk to me," Blaine snapped coldly and walked by quickly.

He went directly over to the jock table and sat down, completely ignoring the stares and whispers that followed him.

Kurt felt betrayed and completely baffled by Blaine's actions. Didn't he just tell Kurt that he wanted them to stay friends? Why did Blaine all of a sudden treat Kurt like he did something wrong?

Kurt felt his anger grow by the second, and was beginning to wonder why he had ever thought it was a good idea to befriend a famous singer.

And then Kurt felt his phone buzz and saw that Blaine had texted him.

He looked down and stared at the two word message and tried to figure out what he did wrong.

I'm sorry.
