The next morning, Kurt leaped out of his sleeping bag and his heart started pounding as the time edged ever nearer to one o' clock. He had a small discussion with the girls as they ate breakfast and pretended he wasn't bothered when Blaine briefly walked in and made some toast, sneakily sending a wink Kurt's way that made him swoon.

"So you really aren't going shopping with us today?" Mercedes asked Kurt, who shook his head.

"I'm busy, sorry."

"Hummel, you're NEVER busy. What could you possibly be doing?" Santana asked.

"...If you must know, I'm, uh...I'm meeting someone." Kurt said quickly.

Oh, crap.

"WHAT? So you were talking all of last night about my brother and crushing on him and you had a date with some other guy the whole time?" Rachel asked, irritated.

"Well, uh...yeah. Blaine's nice but nothing's gonna happen. It's not like he'd even consider going on a date with me, would he? Plus, you wouldn't be happy about it." Kurt said, lying through his teeth.

"True. It just seems weird pairing you two together. I just don't see it. Anyway, who's the guy?" Rachel asked.

"Um...I'm not giving anything away. You don't know him." Kurt said, desperately trying to cover his lies with even more lies.

"Can we at least get a name?" Quinn asked.

"A name? Oh, uh, yeah...Robbie." Kurt said quickly.

"Robbie...?"

"Williams."

Oh, crap. Again. Nice one, Kurt.

"You're going on a date with a guy called Robbie Williams?" Mercedes laughed.

"He gets that a lot. It's just a coffee anyway, it's not like we're getting married or anything. It's nothing serious yet so it's not a problem, is it?" Kurt said.

Even though in reality I'm having coffee with my best friend's brother and I fancy the pants off him.

"Where did you meet? How old is he? What does he do? Does he go to McKinley?" Rachel questioned.

"Girls, stop! All in good time! If it goes well I'll tell you more about him, okay?" Kurt said and the girls nodded.

"Well, good luck! And remember you don't have to do ANYTHING you don't want to do!" Rachel said. Kurt blushed as he waved and walked out of Rachel's house to get home and get changed very quickly.

Please, Blaine can do whatever the hell he wants to me.

...

Kurt was happy with how he looked considering he had very little time to prepare. He knew Blaine had gotten his toast and then started getting ready and not leaving his room until Rachel and the girls had left to go shopping. As Kurt approached The Lima Bean at 12:56pm, his hands started to shake and get clammy and his heart was beating faster than ever.

You barely know this guy, how can you be so nervous?

Then Kurt remembered he hadn't actually been on a date before, and his first ever date was with his best friend's brother. Plus, his best friend is none the wiser of who he's actually seeing and if she finds out he lied to her all hell will break loose. Kurt tried to remove the negative thoughts from his head as he saw the coffee shop appear in his line of sight. Suddenly, everything got worse and Kurt felt as if he was going to throw up until...

...Him.

Kurt glimpsed Blaine standing outside the shop waiting for Kurt, looking even more nervous than Kurt himself did. Of course, Kurt found this absolutely and completely adorable. As soon as the handsome boy had entered his vision all his worried faded away and all he could see was Blaine. Blaine eventually saw Kurt approaching and gave the warmest grin possible before quickly checking his reflection in a nearby window.

"Hi." Kurt said sheepishly as he walked up to Blaine.

"Hi." Blaine replied, already out of breath at the sight of Kurt. Blaine held out his hand to shake Kurt's but Kurt leant in to kiss his cheek, ending in Blaine punching Kurt in the stomach and Kurt head-butting Blaine.

...

I actually want to die.

Kurt couldn't hide his embarrassment as he sat in The Lima Bean opposite Blaine, who had spent five minutes trying to stop the blood from spewing from his nose with masses of tissues.

"I'm so sorry, I-" Kurt began.

"Don't worry. I think its stopping." Blaine mumbled as he pulled a bloody tissue away from his nose and sighed with relief at the stopping flow of blood.

"I can't believe I did that." Kurt sighed.

"It's fine, really. I'm the idiot; I punched you in the stomach. I'm sorry." Blaine smiled.

"No worries, it didn't hurt too much anyway." Kurt said and looked down.

Silence for a few minutes. Blaine then chuckled.

"Great start, huh?" Blaine laughed.

"I think you have a different meaning for the word 'great' than the rest of the human race." Kurt said, meaning to say it in a jokey way but it came out as a deadly serious comment. The colour left Blaine's face.

"Is it really going that badly? Oh, crap..." Blaine said, disheartened.

"NO! NO! I mean, it's not ideal, but...I...I was just kidding but it came out wrong. Sorry...I'm, uh...I'm not good at this whole dating thing. I'm not good at words." Kurt admitted. Blaine smiled.

"Neither am I." Blaine said and Kurt smiled back at him.

"Well, how about a funny story to break the ice?" Kurt suggested.

...

Blaine couldn't hold his laughter and everyone was staring at the two boys. Kurt, for the first time in forever, didn't care about people watching him as he was focused solely on how hilarious it was watching Blaine laugh uncontrollably.

"ROBBIE WILLIAMS? ROBBIE WILLIAMS?" Blaine kept repeating in between laughs.

"I panicked!" Kurt defended as Blaine settled down.

"Wow...hey, um...so...is this...is this going well? I mean, is this okay? I know it's stupid to ask but-" Blaine began.

"Blaine, its' quarter to two. We've been here for forty five minutes. We came here to get a coffee. We haven't even ordered any coffee yet." Kurt said. Blaine looked shocked and stood up.

"I'm so sorry! I forgot about the coffee! I'll get some now...sorry!" Blaine said in a panic.

"I'll have a non-fat mocha. And Blaine? Us not having any coffee yet...that's a good thing." Kurt said. Blaine smiled at Kurt as he walked over to the counter, hitting a table in the process having not paid attention to where he was walking. Kurt laughed at the clumsy guy in front of him. He was surprised that he wasn't as cool and collected as he appeared to be when they first met, but he loved that Blaine surprised him so much.

Plus, this awkward Blaine is freakin' adorable.

It had been a very rocky start, and Kurt hoped he'd never give his date a nosebleed ever again, but the two boys had gotten used to the company and had hit it off really well, and now the coffee date finally involved coffee. Kurt loved every second of his time with Blaine, but Rachel kept entering his mind.

If this gets serious I'll have to admit I lied to her. My best friend's BROTHER...this would make things so awkward.

...

"Your favourite cover is Marion Cotillard too?" Kurt asked Blaine excitedly, who nodded.

"Yeah! I love that woman. I mean, I love girls, but I can't LOVE them, you know?" Blaine said.

"Yes, I do! That's EXACTLY how I feel. It's so strange to meet someone who really gets it." Kurt smiled.

"I know." Blaine whispered meaningfully. It took a few moments for the boys to realise they were holding hands across the table. Blaine noticed, jerked backwards and fell off his chair. Kurt started giggling before realising Blaine had hit his head on another table and knocked himself out.

...

Kurt held an ice pack on Blaine's forehead as they sat on Kurt's bed, Kurt still trying to hold back some laughter. Blaine noticed this and smiled.

"You know, it's actually not funny." Blaine said.

"Oh no, it was hilarious. You might have concussion." Kurt smirked and let out a small laugh. Blaine looked at him, his eyes full of meaning.

"I think you're adorable, you know." Blaine said quietly.

"In that case, you definitely have concussion." Kurt laughed.

"I can't believe I knocked myself out in front of you. When I first saw you yesterday I was like 'wow' so acted all cool and calm to impress you but I kind of unleashed by true self today. I'm kind of a huge idiot." Blaine admitted.

"No you're not, I prefer the Blaine I met today to the one I met yesterday, and I didn't think that was possible." Kurt smiled. Blaine smiled back before growing serious. He shuffled slightly closer to Kurt, guiding Kurt's hand and the ice pack away from his face.

"I was so scared of saying this and it could be embarrassing but after today's events nothing can top that and if you're still here after I made such a fool of myself then I'm just gonna say it...I really wanna kiss you." Blaine said, whispering the last few words. Kurt stared at Blaine with a sense of awe.

"You really are concussed, huh?" Kurt said, trying to lighten the obvious tension. He wanted to kiss Blaine too. Hell, he wanted to do a lot more than just kiss Blaine, but he kept thinking of how Rachel would react if anything happened between them. He couldn't let it happen despite how much he wanted to.

"I'm really not." Blaine said. Kurt stood up.

"Okay, Blaine...I like you. Lots. You're smart and funny and ridiculous and adorable and attractive and so many other incredible things, but one thing is always gonna stand out...you're Rachel's brother. Today was really fun and I wanna be friends and everything but if anything happened it would be too weird and dating shouldn't be. It shouldn't be about doubts and thoughts of close friends not approving. It should be about, 'did he mean to touch me hand?' and 'is he looking at me?' and first kisses and-"

Kurt's speech was cut off by Blaine gently pressing his lips against Kurt's. Kurt put his hands either side of Blaine's head as Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and edged their bodies closer together. The kiss deepened as Kurt tried to ignore the loud banging coming from the fireworks in his head. Kurt didn't think about Rachel at all for the first time since the date had started. Blaine tasted better than he ever imagined and kissed in an indescribably good way. Even if Kurt wanted to, he just couldn't find it in himself to separate his lips from Blaine's for even a second. Their lips were like two magnets that couldn't be torn apart. Eventually, however, Blaine pulled away and Kurt stood facing him, almost out of breath.

"...and second kisses..." Kurt mumbled before leaping into Blaine's arms as they fell onto the bed and started making out, which ended up lasting for another twenty five minutes. It would've lasted for much, much longer if Kurt hadn't have noticed a figure standing in shock in his doorway.

"Oh, hey dad...have you met Blaine?"
