Chapter three
Even though Kurt was thinking of a world that could only be found somewhere over the rainbow, where he and Blaine were the power couple within Dalton, where he could kiss him whenever he wanted and where he never felt alone, he was easily brought back to reality by Blaine. Blaine whispered in his ear, "I really love sunsets, they're so romantic."
The mere sound of his voice was enough to bring Kurt back to reality. Blaine said, "I don't want to rush you, especially since you looked really cute but if we want to get to the restaurant in time we should leave now."
They stood up and walked, hand in hand, to Blaine's car. Kurt thought if there's a heaven somewhere then this is how he'd want to feel there, as he felt happier than he had ever been. Yet he felt really nervous. It was a combination of feelings he had never felt together. Was that what true love really felt like?
Blaine walked to Kurt's side of the car and opened the door for him. Blaine was such a gentleman and Kurt's face began to glow. He couldn't help it, Blaine was so cute when he was so chivalrous. As soon as Blaine started the engine the surround system turned on and Blaine inserted a CD. Kurt recognized the song immediately:
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
It was one of Kurt's favourite songs, despite the fact that it was no Broadway song and that it was the only song Snow Patrol had ever made that was actually any good. Kurt listened carefully and then noticed that this wasn't the standard version. It was a piano version both played and sung by Blaine… Kurt felt even more in love with Blaine as Blaine sang the final part;
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all
Blaine joined in on the last chorus
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Kurt was smiling as he touched Blaine's hand and he said: "you know I'll always be there for you right?" They were waiting for the traffic light and Blaine bent over to Kurt. Was he really going to kiss him? Kurt was ecstatic, was his dream becoming reality? Kurt bent towards Blaine. The magic was lost when an impatient driver behind them began honking his horn. Blaine focussed on the road again. Kurt thought, if there's a god out there he sure doesn't like me or he has an odd sense of humour.
Blaine parked the car in front of the Bel Lago Waterfront Bistro. Kurt had never been there, and he was amazed when the waiter guided them to their table. They're table was right next to the panoramic windows, and the view was truly breathtaking. Of course Blaine was real chivalrous again as he pulled out the chair for Kurt. Kurt was delighted; Blaine has such an impeccable romantic style. Blaine had prearranged their meals so Kurt was anxiously waiting for the dishes to arrive, yet he was so nervous that he wasn't really hungry. They were classical Italian dishes but they tasted better than Kurt could ever have imagined. This was probably thanks to the fact that everything was better when he was with Blaine. For once Kurt had nothing to worry about, and he could only feel happiness and love. The world seemed to be such a better place, and Kurt felt like time had come to a standstill.
Yet everything comes to an end and so did this date, Blaine insisted that he would pay the bill, and Kurt allowed him to do so as he didn't want to spoil their night. They walked out of the restaurant together. The temperature had dropped dramatically and it had begun to snow. Kurt was wearing a very fashionable but not very warm jacket and Blaine immediately realised that Kurt might needed some warmth. He stood next to Kurt and gave him a warm hug, "This was a lovely evening Kurt," he said as he hugged Kurt, Kurt could smell Blaine's perfume, the scent of his hair and the warmth of his skin. Kurt didn't notice the cold weather anymore, is that what Celine meant with "the power of love"?
Once again Kurt felt the need to kiss Blaine and yet again they were interrupted, this time by an old man. The man shouted, "You're both a disgrace to this country, sinners you are. Your love is satanic!" Kurt wasn't ashamed of his sexuality but having these kinds of insults weren't doing his self-esteem any good. Although he was proud of himself they made him insecure and Blaine noticed that immediately. He spoke up to the old man as he said, "Sir, no human can live the life of a saint but I'd rather live the life of a sinner and be happy than to live up to the expectations of society and die unhappy and alone and with all respect I'm asking you what's a life without happiness and love? We shouldn't judge each other but we should support each other. Isn't that what religion was meant for in the first place?" The old man didn't seem to know an answer and left. Kurt was impressed by Blaine's speech. He was such a multitalented boy. Kurt didn't want to go back to Dalton yet but they had no choice if they wanted to be in time for the evening curfew so Blaine opened the car door for Kurt again and they drove of into the night…
