'Hey Rachel, wait up!' Blaine called quickly catching up to his sister. 'I need to talk to you, think you can spare me the beginning of your lunch?'
'Of course Blaine, is this about a song to sing for this week's assignment? Because I have already written out a list of potential songs for you, I feel like sometimes you miss the point of the lessons.' Blaine couldn't even focus on the hypocrisy of that statement, and instead just shook his head in answer.
'No, I was hoping I could talk to you about Kurt. More specifically, me dating Kurt.' Blaine could see Rachel shoulders automatically tense before she pulled him into a random classroom. 'Rach, what are you doing?' Blaine asked before tugging his arm out of her grasp.
'What do you think you're doing? You can't date Kurt. No, I simply won't allow it.'
Blaine was taken aback by the anger in her tone, 'What Rach? Really? I mean I really like him and I would love the chance to show him how much he means to me. You know how long I've liked him for.'
'Which is exactly why I've been keeping you apart!' Rachel sighed, 'Have you ever thought of the position you are putting me in? He's my best friend Blaine, what happens if you two break up? Then I will have to pick a side, and I will pick you because you're family.' Rachel stopped her pacing to fix him with a stare, 'And I don't want to lose my best friend. Really you are being very selfish Blaine.'
'Huh? We won't break up, or even if we did, we would never make you choose between us, and you know it. What's the real reason behind you not wanting us to be together?' Rachel opened her mouth it interrupt, 'No Rach, it's not just now, even before we both made our feelings about each other clear to you, you've tried to keep us apart. So what are you really worried about?'
'What I'm worried about Blaine, is you stealing my best friend! You've always taken the things that I have liked most. And Kurt is just another thing you will get. Do you really think that he will want to hang out with me, when he has you?' Rachel was glaring at him now. Blaine couldn't help but feel hurt well up in his chest at how vehemently Rachel was against this relationship. A chance for Blaine to truly be happy in this hell hole of a high school for once. Blaine had made a promise to himself to not guilt trip Rachel into letting them date, he would accept her decision. Though he will point out some flaws in her argument, if just to make her really think about what she was implying.
'What is wrong with you? Of course he will. Do you suddenly not want to hang out with Kurt because you and Finn are back on? No, you hang out with him because he's your best friend. Shockingly, you are also who he relies on. So by you implying that he would ditch you for me, you are just insulting Kurt.' Blaine looked down, 'You really should have more faith in him Rach. Did you know that he wouldn't date me unless I got the go ahead from you. You are the one he cares about most, I'm not worth risking your friendship for.' Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief. She would never have thought that Kurt thought so highly of their friendship. 'But if you really don't want us to date then I will stop arguing and stop pursuing him. You can have him.' Blaine shrugged before getting up to leave.
'Really Blaine? You'd do that for me?' Rachel's voice was quiet and timid.
'Yeah Rach, because I love you, and I just want you to be happy.' Rachel watched him leave, feeling a little guilty about the way she had acted, but not regretting it. She knew that Kurt would choose Blaine over her, it was inevitable. Blaine was just a gay, male version of herself, why would Kurt need her after he got Blaine?
Kurt stood outside the classroom he saw Blaine and Rachel slip into earlier, shocked by what he was hearing. He never though Rachel would think so little of him and their friendship, he kind of wanted to barge in there and tell her off for thinking that he could ever ditch her. Though 10 seconds later it wasn't necessary as Blaine stood up for him, it was then that Kurt decided that he didn't need Rachel's approval. If she was going to deny them this purely because she doubted Kurt's friendship, then he would show her that it wouldn't change anything.
Kurt waited until Blaine left and quickly grabbed his hand a pulled him out of the school and towards his vehicle, 'You don't have anything important on today do you?' Kurt asked, remembering that although Blaine was in the same year, he did take different classes.
'No, but what are you doing Kurt? It's only lunch we still have a couple of hours of school left, and I'm sure from your position outside the door that you heard Rachel's answer.' Blaine was trying to remove his hand from Kurt's grasp, but Kurt just tightened his grip. Didn't Kurt understand that this was just hurting Blaine more, getting a taste of something that he would never have thanks to his darling sister.
'I heard Rachel's answer, and like you, think that her reasoning is extremely flawed. Get in the car, we're going for coffee.' Kurt walked to the passenger side door and opened it for Blaine gesturing for the boy to get in, before closing the door and getting into the driver's seat.
'Coffee?' Blaine queried, Kurt and Blaine used to always have coffee together at the Berry's house when Rachel was running late, which was pretty much every time Kurt and Rachel hung out.
'Yes, coffee. I believe that's the most common first date, yes?' Kurt said, starting the car, and chancing a glance in Blaine's direction, to see an adorably confused pout on his face. Kurt pulled out of the car park and headed towards The Lima Bean whilst Blaine still processed what was happening.
When they pulled into the parking lot Blaine finally broke the silence, 'So, wait. Even though Rachel said we couldn't date, which you said was the deal breaker in this situation, we are still going on a date?' Kurt let out a sigh of relief when Blaine just seemed confused instead of angry or hurt.
'Come on, let's go grab a coffee, I know a great park nearby where we can talk. It's probably not the best topic for a first date, but I guess we can go off plans for a while.' Kurt said getting out of the car, before going around the other side and opening the door for Blaine. 'Are you coming? Or am I going on this date alone?' The teasing glint in Kurt's eyes seemed to get Blaine out of the trance he had been in since he left the classroom where Rachel had told him no, and he scrambled to get out of the car before Kurt could change his mind.
'Okay, so what coffee do you drink when you have an option other than instant?'
'Uh, generally I get a medium Drip.' Blaine was still confused but he figured he would go with it. One date was better than none.
Kurt turned to the barista, 'Can I get a Medium Drip, a large non-fat mocha and biscotti.' He handed over the cash and waited for the coffee's to be ready before handing Blaine his coffee and the biscotti and taking Blaine's hand before leaving the store and leading him toward a small path around the side. 'I found this place once when I was bored and waiting for Mercedes to show up because she was running an hour late. I'll think you'll like it.'
When they got to the clearing, it really wasn't anything special, just a park bench surrounded by trees. Blaine could understand the appeal of it, 'It's quiet.' Kurt smiled, he knew that Blaine would get it. 'Now, are you going to explain? I'm sorry if I'm being pushy Kurt, but you have to know, that experiencing this and knowing that I won't get a second date is kind of killing me.' Blaine's eyes were pleading and Kurt did the only thing he could think of to comfort him and that was to pull him into a tight hug.
'Okay, you need to know, that as long as you want it, there's a second and a third and a tenth and a fiftieth date, there for you to have.' Kurt whispered into his ear, before pulling back, 'But there are conditions, at least for a while. I have a plan you see.' Kurt let a small smile come across his face, and Blaine could see the mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
'What are you planning Kurt Hummel?'
'Well Blaine Anderson-Berry, I was thinking, that since your sister so vehemently turned down any prospect of our relationship based on the terms of me becoming a shitty friend that we would test the theory.' Blaine raised his eyebrows in curiosity, 'You're really cute when you're confused by the way, and really distracting because you're so cute.' Kurt shook his head, knowing that was off topic, but being unable to ignore the adorable pout that Blaine had, had on his face since the car trip. 'So I was thinking, we could date in secret.' Blaine immediately raised his hand to protest, he wanted Kurt, but he wanted everyone to know. He didn't want to be in a half relationship, and he didn't think Kurt would either. 'It's not ideal, I mean ideally Rachel would want us to be happy, and that would be that. But I thought that if we dated in secret and then after a couple of weeks if she hasn't noticed me treating her any differently we could show her that her fears were unfounded.' Kurt could see the doubt in Blaine's eyes, 'Think about it, please. I want to be with you Blaine, so much, and we just need to show her that nothing will change.'
'But it will change Kurt, no matter what you think, there will be a change in dynamics.' Blaine didn't know why he was saying this, he wanted Kurt, and he could have him. 'No actually ignore that, yes Kurt, I want to be with you.'
Kurt was unconvinced, 'If you don't think it'll work Blaine, let me know now. I want you to be comfortable with this idea. I thought it would be a win/win situation Blaine, but I want you to be happy as well. Your happiness means so much to me Blaine.' And that essentially was what made up Blaine's mind. The difference between Kurt and Rachel was that Kurt would put Blaine's happiness before his and sacrifice his wants for Blaine.
'I want to Kurt. But it's only temporary. Two weeks, in two weeks we tell her, if she hasn't figured it out.' Blaine was holding Kurt's hands and staring into his eyes, trying to get across how serious he was on this point.
'Okay, two weeks.' Kurt was cut off by a bird whistling, and that seemed to diffuse the intense atmosphere that had started when they arrived at the clearing. Kurt laughed glancing around and noticing the coffee and biscotti. 'Well I think I have royally screwed up the first date. Our coffee won't be very hot anymore.' Kurt picked up his cup anyway, and took a sip and shrugged, 'Still luke warm. So Blaine Anderson-Berry, will you have luke warm coffee with me?'
Blaine laughed sitting on the seat and pulling Kurt down to sit next to him, 'I would love to Mr. Hummel, as long as you include some of those biscotti too.'
'Well that's a given, I couldn't eat it all myself, that would be rude.' Kurt's eyes were sparking and he had the biggest smile plastered on his face. 'I'm so glad you're here with me Blaine.'
Blaine got caught up in Kurt's eyes, 'The feelings mutual, there's no where I would rather be.' And Blaine leaned over feeling bold and kissed Kurt, it still felt like the very first time, although this time Kurt tasted distinctly of coffee. He raised a hand to cup his face enjoying the heat that flared from wherever he was touching Kurt. Kurt pulled back and took in a deep breath resting his hand casually on Blaine's thigh, before lifting his coffee and taking another sip.
'You're being too distracting, drink your coffee already, there will be time for kissing later.' Blaine couldn't help the smile that spread across his face and he snuck another kiss on Kurt's cheek before dipping some biscotti into his coffee.
'Well I apologise. Thank you for the coffee though Kurt. I think this has been a successful first date after all.'
'I'm not so sure about that, you kissed far too early in the date. We're supposed to do that at your front porch.' Kurt said playfully nudging Blaine's shoulder.
'Hmm, well you did promise me more later. Although instead of the front porch, it's going to have to be in your car at school.' Blaine contemplated this for a few seconds, 'Nope don't think I kissed to early on, I think this setting is far more appropriate place for a first-date kiss.'
'Whatever you say Blaine,' Kurt went to take another sip of his coffee only to notice he had finished it. 'Speaking of school, we really should be getting back, we don't want to miss Glee club.' Kurt sighed, 'If Rachel noticed that we were missing I will just say that you were upset and and that I took you out for coffee to cheer you up. And that we are respecting her wishes'
Blaine already hated dating in secret he hadn't thought about all the times he would have to lie – he had already broken his word to Rachel by agreeing to this plan. Two weeks he reminded himself, just for two weeks and then you can get Kurt for the rest of your life.
