Nervous butterflies fluttered in his stomach as Blaine entered the small coffee shop. It wasn't as if he didn't do this every day. He always met Kurt here, always had the same coffee, always talked about the same things, and just enjoying each other's company. It was an easy friendship, which Blaine himself enjoyed. Of course, everything changes eventually. They were people and people evolved just like everything else. He knew a time would come when his feelings for Kurt would change.
As he got his coffee, he looked around, searched for the boy in question. He was at their regular table, as always, and he was looking down at some magazine. Blaine had to smile a sad, little smile. Kurt would get so lost in whatever had caught his attention at the time and it was one of his favorite things about him. He would miss it when everything changed. He would miss a lot of things, actually. Kurt's smile, his eyes, the expression he got when he was exasperated; things he had most certainly fallen in love with.
"Here you go." the barista said, startling him back to the present. He took the coffee, giving the girl a small smile, and made his way over to the table.
When he pulled out his chair, Kurt looked up, a small smile on his face. "Good morning." he said, picking up his own coffee and taking a small sip. Blaine sat down, the butterflies swarming faster, making him feel nauseas. He knew he had to do this, but he didn't want to. He never wanted to have to face this moment. He hadn't said anything and now Kurt was looking at him worriedly. "Is everything alright? You look... ill." he said, reaching across the table to touch Blaine's arm.
"I have to talk to you about something." he said, not looking him in the eye. He felt like a coward, but he wanted to get out of this as unscathed as possible. Kurt pulled his hand back, leaning back in his chair and giving Blaine his full attention. WIth a deep sigh, Blaine began speaking again.
"I said I was bad at romance once, and that obviously hasn't changed." he started, still not looking up from his cup. "I more or less ignored your feelings for me, simply because I didn't know how to approach it. I'm sure by now I've lost my chance, but..." he paused, finally looking up for the first time, "if there's any chance at all, you need to know the truth. I'm in love with you, Kurt. I wish I would have told you sooner, but I can't go back and fix that now. I just wish I had said something and I hope you still see me the way you did before... I understand if you don't and you don't want to see as much of me..."
Blaine trailed off as Kurt grabbed his hand again. Looking up, he saw the smile he was in love with on his face. "Blaine, before you embarrass yourself, shut up." he requested. "Of course I still feel the same way. I'd be crazy not to."
Kurt released Blaine's hand, standing up and grabbing his bag. Blaine watched the movements, slightly confused. Waving for him to stand and grab his own stuff, Kurt led the way out of the coffee shop. "We don't need to be late for school. And I expect you to ask me on a proper date by the end of the day." he said with a wink, taking Blaine's hand in his own as they walked.
The butterflies settled and Blaine could breath a sigh of relief.
