Blaine had eventually drifted off to sleep and was awoken at 11am by putty nuzzling his neck. 'Darn dog' Blaine grumbled scratching putty behind his ear. Realising the time he got up, changed quickly and took putty out for a walk. He couldn't stop thinking about Kurt and what had happened at Amy's the night before. He started to think about Amy, should he call her, explain about last night, tell her the truth, apologise. Shit, what was he going to do?

He was beginning to wonder did he even like girls at all. Or maybe he just liked Kurt in that way. Did he really find boys attractive? In all honesty it didn't scare Blaine to consider he might be gay. It wasn't an issue to him, he was always pretty open about peoples sexuality and learned from a young age not to judge people based on their gender, race whatever, as far as Blaine was concerned people were people and you should love and respect them whoever they were. He had learned that from him Mom, she was a sweet gentle woman who raised Blaine and his brother to be open minded and kind to everyone.

Blaine kept walking and eventually found himself at the Lima Bean cafe he and Kurt loved. He tied putty to one of the benches outside and went in. He ordered a medium drip and returned to the bench outside to drink his coffee. Looking through the window Blaine could see the lima bean was really busy and most tables were full. There were 2 big groups of teenagers talking loudly and laughing. There were a few tables of couples talking quietly or just staring at each other. There were also a couple of single people sitting quietly alone. One girl staring intently at her iphone, and a guy sitting alone reading a book. Blaine's eyes rested on the guy, he kept thinking how familiar he looked, when suddenly the boy looked up from his book and stared straight at Blaine.

It clicked, it was Jeremiah. He had been the lead singer of The Warblers, (the Dalton Academy glee club) the previous year; he had graduated and was now in college. Jeremiah smiled and waved at Blaine, he stood up, picked up his coffee and walked outside.

"Hey Blaine, how are you?" Blaine nodded "yeah I'm good, you?" Jeremiah smiled sitting on the bench next to Blaine. "So, how's life at Dalton?"

Blaine spent the next 15 minutes filling Jeremiah in on all the comings and goings at Dalton, new teachers, the incident with the sprinklers in the gym, and of course the warblers song choices for sectionals. Blaine was now the lead warbler and proud to have replaced Jeremiah.

"Enough about school how are you? Anything new in your life?" Jeremiah raised an eyebrow looking at Blaine. Blaine allowed his cheerful facade to drop for a moment and looked down into his coffee. "Hey, what's up?" Blaine shook his head "you really don't want to know, it's bit of a drama really" "come on Blaine tell me, it might help to get whatever is bothering you off your chest"

Blaine sighed and decided that he really needed to speak to someone about his concerns over Kurt, his doubts about his own sexuality etc… Jeremiah was gay after all and hopefully could give some valuable advice. Blaine looked up and finally spoke "I'm having some .. well… issues with my girlfriend" "ok" Jeremiah laughed "not exactly my area of expertise but hit me with it…. She won't put out?" Blaine rolled his eyes "er…not exactly"

Blaine proceeded to replay the previous evenings events to Jeremiah, Amy's bedroom, the kissing, undressing, and of course the thoughts of his friend Kurt while Amy was, well, doing those things. Blaine finished his story and Jeremiah finally spoke "Jesus Blaine... I mean that's a lot to take in, I never thought you might be …" Blaine laughed and threw his hands up in the air "well it hadn't really crossed my mind until last night..I'm not sure that I am. I mean if I thought about Kurt like that does that mean I am, you know... gay?"

Jeremiah bit his lip for a moment and replied "No, of course not, you and Kurt are obviously really close friends right?" Blaine nodded "when you think about him, what do you really feel?" Blaine's mind drifted, seeing that image of beautiful Kurt once again, perfect smile, porcelain skin and those soft lips.

"hello...anyone home"

Blaine suddenly realised Jeremiah was waving his hands in front of his eyes, "oh sorry I zoned out there for a sec" "I'll say you did" Jeremiah laughed," judging by that silly look on your face I'd say you were thinking about your friend but not in a very "friendly" way" Jeremiah made air quotes over the word "friendly" which made Blaine laugh. "you know Blaine, you shouldn't be afraid of what this does or doesn't mean, just go and talk to him, your friendship is strong enough, what happens, happens. Go with it. Don't be afraid of your own emotions and desires" Blaine blushed a little "and more importantly don't ignore them" Blaine nodded "yeah I know, you're right, I should, I need to talk to him" Jeremiah rested his hand on Blaine's shoulder "let me know how it goes?" Blaine nodded "sure, I will" Jeremiah stood up and buttoned his coat, "good luck Blaine, if you need to talk anytime call me" he turned to walk away and stopped "by the way Blaine, if things don't work out between you and Kurt, maybe we can grab dinner or a movie sometime" he winked and smiled before turning around and walking toward his car. Blaine sat there stunned; did Jeremiah just ask him out?

He took his phone out of his pocket and sent Kurt a text

hey, need 2 talk 2 u, will come over at 7 tonite, ok? B

Blaine looked down at putty who was lying quietly under the bench, "come on putty let's go" he picked up his lead and headed away from the cafe toward home. He began to think, he really should break up with Amy.
