Chapter Text
They weren't going to show the fact that they were fags at school, that's for sure. They weren't even dating, of course. Kurt wasn't sure what they were. Neither he or Ram wanted to date necessarily, but something about knowing his best friend loved him and he loved him too was endearing. Veronica had mentioned something foreign to the both of them called a "Queer Platonic Relationship", and then suggested they try that.
The word "Queer" still rolled strangely off Kurt's tongue, as if it was wrong. He supposed there was nothing he could do about it. So now, he and Ram address that there is something there, but there isn't much romance. God, who was he? He didn't sound like himself at all. Or maybe he just didn't sound like what he let people see? He wasn't really sure who he was at the moment. Generally, it's just their normal playful banter, mixed with many flirty remarks. The practical definition of "we're just friends."
Weird. It was weird. He was weird. Although, it proved to be alright at the same time.
Veronica was taking a risk and giving JD another chance. He was horrible, Kurt honestly thought he didn't deserve it. When he said this to Ram, the guy just gave him a light punch and laughed. "Look at you taking the moral high ground! Who are you and what have you done with Kurt?"
JD had been going to therapy, and he promised he would never try and hurt people like that again. Not even himself. Actually, he's become pretty chill lately. He got a cat he named Slushee, and she seemed to really calm him down, which was a nice change. Kurt and Ram actually invited the psycho to their next party. They were happy to see he smiled. Really, who were these new versions of Kurt and Ram and what hellhole did the old ones shove themselves into?
Kurt may not be the most likable guy in school. He may not be as popular anymore. But he was satisfied with who he was.
When football practice ended later that day, the two of them got a package of beer and went up to the grassy area behind the school like they normally did to escape. They talked about the dumbest shit they could think of, their cheeks slightly pink and their tones bubbly.
Best friends. Not dating. (But not just friends.)
...
Yeah. Kurt liked that.
He wondered what would happen now that all of it is "resolved". If anything would change. But he guessed that this was another chance. He and Ram decided they were going to be less dicks, which is probably a good idea.
As the sun began to tiptoe beneath the horizon line, hitting the roof of the school, stars slowly began to start peaking out of the sky. Kurt had never appreciated stuff like this before.
...He did now.
Ram's hand slowly made its way over to his, their fingers overlapping each other. Kurt quirked his eyebrows, looking at his friend. "Yes?" Ram shook his head, smiling. "...Nothing."
