Alrighty! On to the first date with some Adam POV.
Adam was quite simply crazy about Kurt Hummel.
This minute he'd seen him take the stage at the Winter Showcase he'd felt his heart skip a beat, and when he started to sing? Adam knew he was done for.
While he'd like to say he wasn't keeping an eye out for Kurt the first day of the new semester...he'd be lying. All day he'd walked around in the hopes he'd once again get the chance to see those bright blue eyes and have the opportunity to introduce himself and naturally invite the talented singer to join the Adam's Apples. He hadn't necessarily PLANNED on running into Kurt consistently...it just...happened to work out that way. At least that's what he kept trying to tell himself.
He still couldn't understand how anyone who looked and sang like Kurt could in any way shape or form be shy. But it became clear from the beginning that it seemed to genuinely surprise Kurt that anyone would compliment him, so naturally Adam began going out of his way to do exactly that. It wasn't until he'd heard Kurt brush of his compliment on his plies with the mention that his ex boyfriend was the 'dancer' in his relationship that it clicked for Adam...he saw it, that flicker of pain that let him know whoever this 'ex' was? He'd had something to do with Kurt's apparent lack of self esteem. On the plus side...he now knew Kurt was single.
He honestly didn't even try to hide his interest. If Kurt had trouble believing someone had reasons to compliment him...chances are any attempts at 'subtle' flirting would be dismissed as well, so Adam decided not to be subtle. He'd never liked games anyways and had always thought that if you liked someone then you should show it...or else how would they know? It was pretty simple logic to him.
When Kurt had asked him for drinks he'd seen each emotion of nervousness and fear swimming in his eyes...and the utter and complete shock when he'd said yes. Ever since he'd been obsessively checking his phone waiting for a text or phone call like a love sick puppy and when he finally got a message he couldn't help throw an excited fist in the air and yell 'YES!' before responding back.
Now he was waiting patiently outside the restaurant with his phone in his hand just in case Kurt got lost or well...wanted to contact him for any reason.
The minute he saw Kurt walking in his direction with his hands in his pockets he couldn't help the smile the split his face, and when Kurt met his eyes he saw the slight relief and wondered briefly if Kurt was worried he wouldn't show up.
"You look fantastic" he blurted as soon as Kurt was close enough to hear him and he watched the slight blush redden the tips of Kurt's ear before he smiled back and said "Thanks, so do you...you haven't been waiting too long have you?"
"Not at all, and even if I had...it would've been more than worth it. So are you ready to go inside? I got us a table so it'd be ready when you got here" he saw Kurt smile wider and his eyes give a happy sparkle and felt his heart give a happy *thump* in his chest...seriously did Kurt own a mirror? How did he not see how gorgeous he was?
"Sounds great, lets go"
He opened the door for Kurt like a gentleman and led him inside with a not so subtle hand on his lower back, waving slightly at the hostess who motioned for them to go on ahead and he showed Kurt to their table himself making sure to pull out his chair for him as well before grabbing his own chair and sliding it closer to Kurt's before sitting down. Both himself and Kurt slid out of their coats and draped them over the back of their chairs and while Kurt's attention was diverted in his perusal of the room he took a chance to run his eyes down his frame and took a deep breath because...WOW did Kurt have a nice body. Shaking his head to snap out of it, he plucked a menu from the middle of the table and opened it leaning in close to Kurt so they could share.
"Alright, now I want you to order whatever you want it's on me" he said and saw Kurt whip his eyes over to Adam's face in surprise
"But...I'm the one who asked you out, shouldn't I be the one to treat you?"
Adam gave Kurt a small smile "If I hadn't countered your drink invitation with a dinner invitation I'd say yes...but in this case, I really would like to treat you to a nice night out to celebrate both you getting into NYADA and surviving your first week...and agreeing to join the Adam's Apples...plus you made my entire day when you asked me out for drinks so it's the very least I could do...so let's make a deal...the next time we go out you can treat?" he asked with a slightly raised brow and a twinkle in his eyes.
Kurt himself felt the butterfly's in his stomach flutter happily and took the question for what it really was 'would there be a next time?' and answered accordingly. "Alright deal, next time I'll take YOU out somewhere...now why don't you tell me what's good here?"
Adam flashed Kurt a happy smile and leaned closer as he nonchalantly stretched one arm behind the back of Kurt's chair that did not go unnoticed if Kurt's small grin as he looked over the menu was anything to go by. "Honestly? Everything is good here...do you have any food allergies or special diet restrictions?" he asked curiously and Kurt shook his head "No not really, I try to eat mostly healthy but honestly since I've been in New York I've pretty much just eaten whatever I want. I like everything"
"Excellent...in that case...do you trust me enough to order for you? I'll get a couple different things so that we can have a variety I promise"
Kurt tilted his head to give Adam's face a curious once over before nodding with a grin "I trust you, the only thing I insist on is some sort of coffee to drink"
Kurt ended up more than happy with all of Adam's food choices and had to whole heartily agree that everything was definitely good here, including his date who seemed to actually be interested in everything Kurt had to say. Conversation ended up flowing easily between the two of them, and one thing Kurt definitely noticed was that Adam really made him laugh. Kurt could easily find himself growing addicted to the crinkly eyed smiles Adam couldn't seem to help but shoot in his direction. They spent the entire meal talking and learning about one another, and Kurt couldn't believe just how easy this was. He was honestly having an incredible time. Brody was right, he had nothing to worry about. Just looking at Adam he could tell that the other man had obvious feelings for him, and that he seemed to like him more with everything they learned about one another. With that kind of encouragement, it was easy to stop being afraid and simply enjoy himself.
The music was incredible as well, Kurt had leaned back in his chair after he'd finished his meal to focus his attention to the woman on stage when he felt Adam's thumb begin to brush soothing circles over his shoulder and he glanced over to see that Adam's eyes were fixed on him as opposed to the singer and he gave him a soft smile before leaning closer to him and allowing Adam to place his arm more securely over his shoulders.
When the next song started up he felt Adam move closer to his ear and barely refrained a shiver when he felt his warm breath as he whispered "Would you like to dance?"
Adam watched as Kurt's face lit up, eyes sparkling with a happy smile and he smiled back before standing and holding a hand out to Kurt who placed his hand in his and Adam laced their fingers together before he guided him onto the dance floor. He turned and placed his hand on Kurt's waist pulling him in closer while Kurt laid a hand on his shoulder and he leaned forward to brush a gentle kiss against Kurt's forehead before he began to lead him in a slow dance.
By the end of the song Kurt had his head tucked into Adam's shoulder while Adam was leaning his head against Kurt's with his eyes closed in contentment. As the song ended and everyone began to clap the two pulled away from one another and Kurt was struck by the soft look on Adam's face...struck by the fact that HE was the one who put it there.
"So we can do one of two things, we either have some desert and then call it a night...or we order desert to go and you come back to my place where we can pop in a film and eat our cheesecake on my couch. I promise that if you come over nothing will happen that you dont want to happen, this is only our first date after all."
Kurt grinned and leaned forward brushing his lips against Adam's ear and grinned wider when he felt Adam squeeze him a bit closer in response. "I'm not ready for tonight to end, let's order desert to go and head back to your place"
A/N: Please read and review. Tomorrow will bring the next chapter and Kurt & Adam's movie night over at Adam's apartment. Yay.
I apologize for any typo's or confusion...I'm sorta writing this high as a kite on NyQuil because I have that stupid flu that's going around -_-
