Chapter Three – Coffee?

Kurt is just pulling into the Lima Bean carpark when his phone beeps, he grabs his phone and opens up the message as he walks into the coffee shop. The others are already sitting at their regular table, as he lined up to order his coffee he looks down …

Didn't get a chance to thankyou for showing me around this afternoon. Hope you liked the song ;) – B

He blushes wildly, and smiles just a little. How was he supposed to answer that, he was already horrified that he had blurted out about loving seeing him sing 'Teenage Dream', and then Blaine had turned around and sung it for his audition. And now, Blaine was teasing him, did he have the courage to play back?

My pleasure, couldn't have the new kid getting lost. Although I am sure all you would need to do is serenade a passing pretty blonde girl with that song and she would help you as she swooned. – K

Ahhh but that would imply that I wanted a girl to show me around – B

Well, if not a pretty blonde, then who? – K

Kurt gulped has he sent the message, that was so forward, he was usually so reserved but the freedom of text messaging, was like talking behind a curtain, he gave him just a bit more courage.

Well I did have my eye on a beautiful brunette with blue eyes, wouldn't mind getting to know him a bit better. -B

"What would you like?" Kurt almost drops his phone, and was all of a sudden flustered. He realises the cashier is asking for his coffee order.

"ummm Grande non-fat mocha please" he slips his phone back into his pocket, he would think about how to reply later, he could see Mercedes out of the corner of his eye looking at him questioningly, he guesses he will have some quick thinking to explain his reaction to her, he wasn't sure he was ready to share his interaction with Blaine quite yet, he wasn't really sure there was anything to share.

He takes his coffee and sat down with the group, he could hear Rachel talking about Blaine's audition.

"Well, yes he played the piano beautifully but his voice definitely lacked my years of training, I don't think he is ready for any solos yet." You could almost hear everyone rolling their eyes at once, you could just tell by the tone of her voice that she was worried about him taking the spotlight from her. Kurt loved Rachel dearly, she was one of his best friends, and they had every intention of going to NYADA together next year, but seriously, sometimes she just needed to get off her high-horse.

Tina started talking about cute Blaine was, even Santana admitted he had dreamy eyes. The girls were all gushing about the new boy, the boys on the other hand were all shifting in their seats a little, you could see they were hoping for a change of topic soon. But the conversation continued much in this same way as Mercedes leant over to Kurt and whispered.

"So .. what do you think of Mr dreamy eyes, I saw you leaving the cafeteria with him, and then coming into the choir room together this afternoon." she looked at me with those knowing eyes.

"He's alright, he just needed some directions to classes and we worked out that we shared about five classes all up. We actually were in both French and English this afternoon so that is why we were walking together" Kurt hoped he didn't give anything away "So what song were you planning on suggesting for Sectionals? Do you think Mr Schue is going to let us to perform them?" he desperately was trying to change the subject.

"Don't you go changing the subject on me Kurt Hummel, I know you, something's up. Who were you messaging before when you were in line, you almost dropped your phone, I saw you"

"There is nothing to spill Cedes, we chatted, he is really nice, maybe he flirted a bit, I don't know, I'm not even sure he is gay but we got along great. He just messaged me to say thanks for showing him around, and that he wanted to check on some of the French homework we got, Mr Borman didn't give him all the syllabus and assignments yet so we swapped numbers so that I could get him caught up. That is all." Kurt ended definitively, hopefully Mercedes will get the picture that the subject was closed.

Kurt looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 5pm, he stood up "Sorry Cedes I gotta go, c'mon Finn we are all going out to dinner tonight we have to get home. Catch you all tomorrow" and with that Kurt turned around and swiftly left the coffee shop. Finn had to run to catch up as he muttered a quick goodbye as well.

"What was that all about Kurt, we don't have to be home until after 6, dinner isn't until 7" Finn whined.

"Well I just want to get homework organised and out of the way before we go out so that I don't have to do it tonight after dinner, unlike you I don't leave assignments until the last minute" and, Kurt thought, I want some time alone to think of how to reply to Blaine's last message.

"Ok Ok but next time just give me some warning, I was trying to talk to Rachel" Finn had been trying to work out how to ask Rachel out again after their horrible breakup last year, and wanted to take every chance he could get.

"No problems, you know you should just come clean and ask her to dinner or something, I am sure she would say yes" Kurt said with exasperation, all he had heard from Rachel for the last two months was how much she wanted Finn to ask her out again, he had promised not to say anything, but his patience was running thin.

They got into the car and drove in silence the five minutes it took to get home, you could almost see the cogs ticking over in Finn's mind trying to decide what to do about Rachel. They pull into the driveway, Kurt grabs his bag and rushes inside and quickly makes his way up to his room.

"Sheesh" yells Finn up the stairs "where's the fire?"

Kurt closes his bedroom door behind him and flops down onto his bed. He pulls out his phone and read's Blaine's last message.

Well I did have my eye on a beautiful brunette with blue eyes, wouldn't mind getting to know him a bit better. -B

Did Blaine mean him? How did he reply, he had zero experience at this. Taking a deep breath he types out

Oh is that so, beautiful brunette with blue eyes, sounds stunning, do tell ;) – K

My goodness, Kurt thinks, he can't believe he just sent that. What the hell was he doing, setting himself up to be rejected again. He thinks with horror, maybe it was a typo and Blaine meant to say 'her', oh no, what had he done.

It had been an hour since he sent his last message to Kurt and he hadn't gotten a reply, maybe he went too far. Damn, thought Blaine, he hadn't meant to be so forward on the first day he met him, but Kurt truly was beautiful. With that thought in mind his phone went off, he grabbed it just a little too quickly.

Oh is that so, beautiful brunette with blue eyes, sounds stunning, do tell ;) – K

Blaine almost squealed, ok so maybe he hadn't scared Kurt off completely, but he really did need to be careful. Kurt gave him the impression of being quite shy and maybe a little unsure of himself, which surprised him, the performances that he has seen were so strong and passionate, and he dressed with such flair. He realised that Kurt was quite an enigma, and definitely someone he really did want to get to know better.

Blaine thought carefully, how was he going to reply.

Well, he is taller than I am, and has these clear blue eyes that just make me melt. But we have only just met and I am a little unsure how to proceed. I would love to ask him out for a coffee or something, but am scared he might say no. Any advice? – B

Blaine held his breath and pressed send. He got a reply almost instantly.

Well I was just giving my step-brother similar advice not 15 minutes ago, I think you just need to go for it and take a chance. - K

With that Blaine smiled, and instead of typing out another message he hit 'call'.

"Hello?" Blaine shivered hearing Kurt's voice.

"Hey you, rather than typing out a long message I thought I would give you a call. I just wanted to ask you a couple of things. About that French assignment, seeing as I haven't got the syllabus from Mr Borman yet, do you think you could bring it to school tomorrow so that I could get a copy?"

"Sure Blaine, no problems" Blaine heard a tone of disappointment in Kurt's voice "Did you want me to bring the English one as well?"

"That would be great, thanks Kurt. The second thing was," Blaine took a deep breath "Would you like to join me for a coffee after school tomorrow? I was really sorry I couldn't make it this afternoon, but I really needed to get home."

"I … Yeah I would like that. I'll have to remember to tell Finn that he has to drive himself to school tomorrow"

Finn, thought Blaine, the tall one from Glee Club, they must live near each other or something.

"Kurt, your dad says we are going in 30 minutes" Blaine heard a voice in the background.

"Sorry Blaine that's Finn calling, he is as subtle as a brick wall. I better get moving we are going out to dinner and I need to get ready"

"Yeah, Ok" said Blaine, very confused.

"Haha" said Kurt "You sound confused, Finn is my step-brother, I'll tell you the whole story tomorrow, it is rather amusing. Anyway I really better get going, see you tomorrow."

"Bye Kurt, enjoy dinner and thanks again for your help today"

Blaine hung up the phone and smiled, Yeah maybe this isn't such a bad change after all.

Kurt hung up the phone, he couldn't believe it. Had Blaine really just asked him out, it was probably just so that he could just get all the background stuff from his classes, although he had called him beautiful, well he thinks he did. Kurt's head was swimming, maybe he would have to talk to Mercedes and Rachel about it all, this was all very new to him.

With that thought he quickly got changed and fixed his hair, luckily he had already chosen which outfit he was going to wear so it didn't take him too long. Twenty minutes later he was bounding down the stairs with a broad grin on his face.
