Disclaimer: No, I do not own Glee. Sorry.

A/N: This is when Kurt finally realizes that Sam is right for him and not Blaine due to a little talk with Burt and then another chat with Mercedes while at Breadstix with her. Hope this chapter makes up for the last one. Much longer and in my opinion way better. I wasn't proud of chapter two that much for many reasons. I think this chapter is a little cute, especially since you get some father/son interaction and Kurt/Mercedes girl talk.

Point of View: Kurt Hummel

"Alright, dad. I'm going out on my date with Mercedes." Kurt said grinning as he waved his father goodbye.

"I thought you were gay." Burt said sounding serious, yet it sounded like he was joking with him. Kurt stopped before he disappeared out the door and then began to walk in the living room to see his father.

"You know Mercedes and I usually state our outings as dates." Kurt explained with a cheeky atttitude, his father should know better by now.

"I'm surprised you're not going out with Blaine- or Sam. I mean- boy you get around. I thought I told you, you mattered." Burt said giving Kurt a serious look in the eye, however Kurt couldn't help to notice there was a slight smirk between his father's lips. I guess he knew that his boy really wasn't like that.

"Dad! I can't believe you." Kurt shouted dramatically. "Boys are confusing. As much as I always thought girls weren't the same, Mercedes has told me time and time again of boys being just as confusing as girls. However, I never believed her."

"This isn't one of those talks already." Burt asked sounding nervous and Kurt couldn't help, but chuckle a little walking over to his dad and sitting next to him.

"I'll try to keep it clean..." He immediately saw the reaction from his dad and added, "You have nothing to worry." Kurt patted his dad's knee and then placed both of his hands in his lap.

"So what is it?" Burt asked sighing.

"Well Sam is nice... sweet." Kurt began.

"Both of those are the same thing." Burt interrupted.

"You didn't let me finish." Kurt said shooting a warning look at his father. "He's sensitive, romantic, dorkingly charming..."

"That's not even a word." Burt interrupted again, but when Kurt gives him another look he doesn't say anything.

"He's adorable and just..." Kurt sighed. "But he won't come out of the closet. And didn't you tell me to be with someone who is as open and as brave as I am?"

"Kurt..." Burt started. "I don't know about this Blaine guy, however from what you've told me he is out of the closet." He continued. "However..." Burt added and Kurt looked up at his father. "Doesn't it take time? And being open and brave doesn't have to mean being out and proud, like maybe this Blaine guy is. Sam was willing to open himself up to you right?" Burt asked.

Kurt nodded slowly, looking down and then back up at his father. "And he's so brave." Kurt added as he remembered that one time that Sam stood up to Karofsky and he was so willing to show his feelings. Even when he got drunk that one night and told him of his feelings. He didn't act as if it was the alcohol, Sam was willing to explain and tell Kurt how he truly felt even once he got sober.

"Thanks, dad." Kurt said as he got up.

"You don't want to talk about other stuff right?" Burt asked as he looked up at his son, while he was still sitting on the couch.

"No, I'll talk about the dirty-."

"I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!" Burt shouted as he put his hands over his ears.

"Details with Mercedes." Kurt finished and rolled his eyes, "Honestly, dad I don't know why you're worried."

"It's not you I don't trust, it's other boys. You're different from other boys Kurt and it's not because you're gay." Burt explained to Kurt.

"Thanks dad, I don't know if that's an insult, or compliment." Kurt took it as a compliment, but he still wanted to hear his dad say it.

"It was a compliment." Burt said and Kurt grinned.

"Have a nice night with Carole." Kurt said as he walked over to the door and slipped on his jacket. "Now with Finn and I out of the house, you can cook that meal I taught you the other day to impress her. Just don't burn the house down." Kurt added as he opened the door. "Goodnight."

. . .

Kurt found Mercedes and as he approached her he waved and then slipped into the booth as Mercedes said, "Wow, I'm surprised you showed up. Before you'd always make a habit of ditching me."

"I'll make sure to make room for Ebony and Ivory time from now on." Kurt said smiling as he grabbed a menu and began to open it, lying it on the table. "You already know what you want?"

"Not sure yet." Mercedes sounding questionable as she was gazing over the menu. "So how are things with Blaine anyway?"

Kurt sighed, he knew it would come up. He told his father he was going to talk about the dirty details anyway. He'll just make sure if he mentions Sam to make sure he doesn't say his name. "Things are a little- just confusing." Kurt explained, as he was gazing over the menu.

"Confusing?" Mercedes asked as she closed her menu and then the waitress walked up to them.

"Hello, I'll be your server for this evening, what would you like to drink?" She stated as she was ready to write on her note pad.

"Coke- and I already know I want the spaghetti and meat balls." Mercedes said as she handed back her menu after the waitress written her order down.

"Sweet ice tea and chicken alfredo." Kurt said as he handed the menu back to the women and added, "Thank you."

As the waitress walked away finally Mercedes spoke again. "So what's so confusing?" Mercedes asked as she placed both of her hands on the table.

"Well- I kind of didn't like Blaine much anymore- but yesterday he was really sweet to me." Kurt explained as he kept his hands in his lap.

"So that's why you called me?" Mercedes asked with a little attitude raising a brow.

"Of course it is. I need some girl talk, my Mercedes. And... I miss going out on these little... dates." Kurt added and grinned a little while Mercedes smiled back.

"So what's the problem?" Mercedes asked as she leaned in a little more. "Sounds like paradise to me."

"There's another boy..."

Before Kurt could continue Mercedes went, "Kurt I thought you didn't have it in you," adding a gasp at the end.

"It isn't like that Mercedes." Kurt said laughing a little as he took his hand and slapped her hand lightly and Mercedes laughed with him.

"Sure Kurt whatever you say." Mercedes said laughing a little still while Kurt rolled his eyes while smirking.

"It's not like that, I've been a good boy." Kurt reassured her and added, "This other boy is just... Absolutely amazing."

They were then interrupted, by the waitress walking by placing both of their drinks in front of them and gave them a smile. Kurt smiled back thanking her and Mercedes did the same as well and the women walked away.

Mercedes excitedly asked, "Who is it?"

"I can't say." Kurt said sadly. "He's in the closet, which is the problem."

"Oh." Mercedes sounded really disappointed.

"I need to be with someone who I can be with publically. I don't want to have to be in the closet again." Kurt explained.

"You won't be." Mercedes replied.

"But I will be. If I date someone who is in the closet, that means I have to hide our relationship. I'll have to lie about who I am with, say that I'm single. Lie about where I am going. I'll have to resist him-." He was about to say school- which would be a big hint, but said, "When he's around people. He'll literally be in the closet with the whole world."

"It takes time doesn't it." Mercedes replied sighed remember his dad said the same thing. "I mean I thought you were gay, but when I was convinced maybe you weren't, but you finally told me the truth. I mean- it struggled for you to do that right? It wasn't easy."

Kurt nodded remembering, he was in tears and he struggled to find the right words as he explained himself to Mercedes- to his father even. He shouldn't be so quick to shut down Sam. Especially since at one point he even pretended to be straight for his father. Kurt sighed, "You're right."

"I mean- who do you really trust?" Mercedes asked. "They both seem like great guys, but who do you trust Kurt? Whether they're out, or not?"

"I don't know..." Kurt said as he began thinking about it.

"Well how..." Mercedes then she began to look awkward and quiet, "How far have you gotten with them? I mean who do you trust when it comes to those things."

Kurt opened his mouth, but words didn't come out. He didn't want to admit how far he went with Sam and didn't want to admit how he went further with him than he'd ever with Blaine.

"Like tell me how you react when... both of your boys and you make out." Mercedes suggested. "Start with Blaine."

"Well with Blaine- like I don't know... It'll be fine, then just touches my leg and I'll just immediately want to stop." Kurt explained.

"So you don't trust him." Mercedes replied.

"But- I mean... Maybe I want to take things slow?" Kurt asked more to himself out loud then to Mercedes.

"Well... How do you act with the mystery boy?" Mercedes asked.

"He's different... I actually saw him earlier today."

[FLASHBACK]

"No we shouldn't kiss, Sam. I just saw Blaine yesterday, besides we're not dating remember." Kurt said as he crossed his arms looking up at Sam while was sitting on the bed.

"Yet you let Blaine kiss you." Sam defended.

"He was charming, but I stopped him." Kurt shot back at him and slowly Sam got onto his knees in front of Kurt, looking up at him.

"Just one?" Sam whispered and slowly Kurt nodded and felt Sam press his lips against his own. Kurt immediately began kissing back and as Sam slowly rose from his knees and began to lean forward, making Kurt lie down on the bed. Kurt didn't protest.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

"He makes me feel different and I can't resist him." Kurt finished after his explanation, but made sure to not mention Sam's actual name while explaining what happen between him and Sam.

"The answer is obvious Kurt. You trust him and I think you've fallen for him." Mercedes told Kurt, grinning from ear-to-ear. He never saw her smile this much. The waitress finally came, putting both plates of food in front of them and immediately Mercedes grabbed her fork.

"Maybe it's just my boy inhibitions taking over." Kurt suggested as he grabbed his fork.

Mercedes immediately went into a fit of giggles, "If that was so, you would've done the same with Blaine." It was true Kurt thought. "The only problem you seem to have with this mystery guy is that he's in the closet. He'll come around Kurt." She paused. "I can tell you're in love already."

"Shut up and eat you spaghetti." Kurt said quietly as he began to feel his cheeks burning, not helping to smile as he began to twirl his pasta on his plate.
