Finally Happy

"Hey Rach, please can you give me a lift to my dad's garage so I can pick up my car?" Kurt asked walking up to Rachel at her locker.

"Yeah sure but why is your car there?" Rachel asked confused.

"I might have possibly driven into a small brick wall..." Kurt explained.

"You drove into a small brick wall?" She replied.

"Well I was texting 'Cedes and I reversed into a small brick wall but it was only like a foot high so I didn't see it." Kurt explained.

"Okay whatever come one let's go."

They drove for 15 minutes making small talk about school and Glee club. Once they arrived they both got out of Rachel's car and headed inside.

"Hey dad." Kurt said walking over to his dad and giving him a hug.

"Hi Kurt, before you ask no your car isn't fixed yet, I've been busy and I need to order a new bumper so it might be a week yet." Burt explained.

"I can give you a lift to and from school." Rachel announced.

"Do you need help dad?" Kurt asked looking around at all the cars his dad had to fix.

"No it's fine I hired Blaine." Burt replied at that moment a curly haired boy slid out from under a car.

"Hi." Blaine said giving a small wave. Rachel and Kurt both stood starring at Blaine. Kurt's eyes trailed over his torso where a white t-shirt clung to his toned abs.

"Hi." Kurt and Rachel both said in unison.

"Erm I'm going to go, do you need a lift home Kurt?" Rachel asked awkwardly.

"No I'm fine; I'll get a lift with my dad."

"Okay well see you in the morning." Rachel said hugging Kurt, waving goodbye to Blaine and Burt and leaving.

"I thought you would've wanted to go home and read vogue or whatever you do." Burt said raising his eyebrow knowingly.

"Well I can see how busy you are so I thought I could help." Kurt explained then walked into the office to put his stuff down. When he walked back out his dad was changing some tires on a car and Blaine was doing something under the hood of another car.

"Need any help?" Kurt asked Blaine.

"Yeah could you pass me that spanner?" Blaine said pointing towards the tools next to Kurt. "Thanks." Blaine said when Kurt handed him the spanner.

Kurt's breath hitched as their hands touched. He looked away blushing as Blaine took the spanner.

"So you read vogue?" Blaine asked trying to make conversation.

"Well yeah I have to find something to do while my dad tries to torture me with football." Kurt replied to which they both laughed.

"I like football." Blaine laughed.

"I like scarves." Kurt said. They went on like that for a while talking and Kurt passing Blaine the tools he needed.

"Done!" Blaine exclaimed as he finished what he was doing on the car.

"Thanks!" Burt shouted from the other end of garage. "That will stop Mr Peters from nagging about getting his car fixed on time." Burt laughed.

"Kurt you may as well go home I might be here quite a while." Burt announced. "And Blaine you can go home, see you tomorrow."

"Can I leave my bag in your car so I don't have to walk with them?"

"Sure go put them in." Burt replied so Kurt went to get his bag to put into Burt's car.

"Are you sure there's nothing else you need me to do?" Blaine asked.

"Bye dad!" Kurt shouted.

"See you later Kurt" Burt shouted back. "No I'm fine." Burt replied.

"Okay bye." Blaine said walking out. "Hey Kurt! Do you want a lift home?" Blaine asked as Kurt was walking away.

"No it's okay thanks." Kurt replied.

"Are you sure it's starting to rain and you wouldn't want to get your hair wet would you?" Blaine laughed.

"On second thoughts..."

"Which way are you going?" Blaine asked. "Okay hop in me too." Blaine said as Kurt pointed in the direction he was going.

"Thank you." Kurt smiled as he got in.

They drove in silence as Kurt directed Blaine to his house. Blaine turned up the radio as Teenage Dream by Katy Perry came on and he started to sing.

"You have a really good voice." Kurt said as the song finished.

"Thanks, I was the lead soloist in my school's Glee club but I graduated a few months ago." Blaine explained.

"Why didn't you go to college? If you don't mind me asking."

"I applied at NYU but didn't get in so I'm going to reapply next semester." Blaine replied.

"Ah right, I'm going to apply for NYADA next month."

"Wow. I can't say I even considered applying for NYADA, I guess I didn't think I was good enough."

"Why not? You are a great singer!" Kurt stated.

"My dad always says singing is for fags and he wasn't exactly very accepting of my 'lifestyle choices'" Blaine said angrily.

"Oh." Kurt didn't know what to say, he didn't know what he would do if his dad didn't accept him. "It's the second house on the left." Kurt announced as they turned onto his street.

"Thank you Blaine, you saved my hair." Kurt laughed as he looked outside at the heavy rain.

"No problem." Blaine smiled

"Bye."

"See you next time you're at your dad's garage." Blaine said as Kurt got out the car.

Kurt ran up to his house and turned and smiled as Blaine drove off. He unlocked the front door and went inside still smiling.

GLEE

The next time Kurt saw Blaine was a week later when he and Rachel went into the garage to see if Kurt's car was ready yet, which it wasn't as the part had only just come in that day. Kurt and Rachel sat talking to Blaine in the office while he was on a break. They were talking about musicals when Rachel interrupted.

"Blaine... I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me sometime." Rachel amnounced and Blaine nearly spat out the coffee he was in the middle of drinking. He looked over to Kurt to find that he was biting his lip trying not to laugh.

"Erm I'm sorry Rachel but I play for the other team." Blaine explained.

"Oh what team do you play for?" Rachel asked dumbly and Blaine and Kurt burst out laughing.

"I'm gay Rachel."

"Oh." Rachel said feeling dumb.

"You're spending too much time with Brittany." Kurt said once he had stopped laughing.

"It's not my fault Mr Schue said we had to do that assignment together" Rachel said sticking out her bottom lip and folding her arms. "I've got to go bye I'll see you tomorrow." Rachel announced as she got up and walked out.

"I finish in an hour if you want a lift home?" Blaine said.

"That would be good thank you." Kurt smiled.

An hour later Kurt and Blaine were sat in Blaine's car on their way to Kurt's house.

"So have you finished your application for NYADA yet?" Blaine asked.

"Yep it's all ready to send in. When do you have to send in your NYU application?"

"In about two weeks but I was thinking about applying for NYADA too because what have I got to lose?" Blaine explained.

"That's great Blaine!" Kurt smiled. "Have you finished your application?"

"Yeah I have but I was wondering if you would be able to read through it to make sure it's okay."

"Sure just bring it along to the garage tomorrow and I'll have a look." Kurt smiled.

"Thanks Kurt."

"No problem."

A few minutes passed in silence until Blaine spoke.

"I can't believe Rachel asked me out today." Blaine laughed. "Isn't it obvious I'm gay?"

"Well I suppose you wouldn't usually find a gay guy working in a garage." Kurt exclaimed. "How did you learn how to fix cars anyway?"

"My dad taught me, I think that he thought if I got my hands dirty it would make me straight." Blaine said sadly.

"Your dad really doesn't accept you then?" Kurt asked to which Blaine shook his head. "I don't know what I'd do if my dad didn't accept me, life would be horrible with that as well as everything at school."

"What do you mean everything at school?" Blaine asked confused.

"Just some homophobic jocks that throw slushies at me, tossing me in dumpsters and shoving me into lockers." Kurt explained looking down at his hands. When he looked up he noticed that they were parked outside his house.

"That's awful Kurt; my high school time was a lot like that too. It turns out bowties attract homophobes."

"Oh my god you wear bowties?" Kurt laughed.

"I like them...and have a lot of them. What's wrong with that?"

"Nothing at all." Kurt said smiling. "Anyway I better go thanks for the lift and don't forget your application and I'll read through it."

"No problem and will do. Bye Kurt." Blaine replied. Kurt got out of the car and waved as Blaine drove away.

Once Kurt was inside he couldn't stop smiling. He was starting to like Blaine but he knew that Blaine would never like him back. Thinking about this Kurt's smile faded.

An hour later Kurt was sat on the living room sofa watching Sex and the City. About 20 minutes into the film his dad came in from work.

"Hey Kurt, Carole has gone shopping she'll be home soon then we'll have dinner." Burt explained as he sat in his armchair and began to read the newspaper.

"Ok." Kurt replied simply. Sensing something was wrong with Kurt Burt looked up from his newspaper and sighed.

"Kurt, what's up?" Burt asked.

"Nothing." Kurt said not taking his eyes off the TV screen.

"Kurt I'm not stupid I can tell there is something wrong." Burt exclaimed. "Is it a guy, if it is you can tell me?"

"I-it's Blaine."

"Blaine?" Burt asked confused. "What's he done? I swear to god I will fire his sorry ass!"

"Relax dad, he hasn't done anything." Kurt said quickly.

"Then what is it?"

"I like him but I don't think he likes me back." Kurt said quietly as a small blush rose up his neck and face.

"Why do you think that?"

"Well look at me why would he?" Kurt asked.

"Kurt." Burt sighed. "He'd be a fool if he doesn't like you and if he doesn't well that's his loss but if you don't do something about it you'll never know." Burt said.

"Thanks dad." Kurt said hugging his dad, he turned off the film he was watching and headed towards the stairs. "I'm going to go and finish my homework."

"Okay, I'll shout you when dinner is ready."

GLEE

The next day after school Rachel dropped Kurt off at his dad's garage. Although she didn't stay like usual as she was a little embarrassed about asking Blaine out and him being gay.

Kurt walked into his dad's office to find Blaine sat down drinking coffee on his break.

"Hey." Kurt smiled.

"Hey, I brought my application for NYADA." Blaine said reaching into his bag and pulling it out and handing it to Kurt. Kurt quickly read over it while Blaine starred nervously.

"This is really good Blaine!" Kurt said smiling widely at Blaine.

"So it's ok?" Blaine asked hesitantly.

"Yep!"

"Thank you." Blaine said happily placing the application back into his bag. "Look I've got to get back to work but I can give you a lift home when i finish if you like." Blaine explained.

"Sure."

An hour and a half later and Blaine and Kurt were once again in Blaine's car on their way to Kurt's house but this time it was silent with just the sound of the radio playing music. Once they stopped outside Kurt's house Kurt turned to look at Blaine.

"You okay?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah erm... I was wondering if...maybe you wanted to go on a date with me. But you don't have to if you don't want to and obviously you won't want to why would you? I mean look at me and look at you and-"

"-Kurt? Shut up yes I would like to go on a date with you." Blaine said cutting Kurt off.

"Really?" Kurt asked unsure if he was joking or not.

"Yep so just give me your number and I'll text you." Blaine smiled.

They exchanged numbers and like the previous times Kurt went inside his house smiling but this time nothing could stop him from smiling.
