Oh and I don't own Glee or anything, incase that isn't already obvious :P.


Kurt had no idea where he was going. Blaine had decided to leave this part of the evening as a surprise. This was causing him a lot of concern about what to wear. How formal was it, what would Blaine be wearing, endless questions. Blaine had told him smart-casual. Which Kurt hated as it meant he shouldn't go formal, but he couldn't just wear anything. It wasn't even a date, he thought, and he was panicking like mad. Luckily Mercedes was there to help him out. She was in a dress, a perfect smart-casual choice he thought. He was glad to have a friend who was as interested in fashion as he was. She rifled through his wardrobe, picking out items of clothing here and there, full of suggestions, unlike himself, as his mind was drawing a complete blank.

At five to seven, the doorbell rung. Mercedes was ready, but Kurt was still in the bathroom getting ready. "Ah, he's early. How can he be early? He said seven. It's not seven yet!" Kurt flustered.

"Calm down, ok. You're almost done. I'll go and get the door, I think your dad should stay lying down." Mercedes told him, walking out of the bathroom and telling Burt that she would get it and that he was to stay and rest.

Mercedes opened the door, to two gorgeous boys standing on the doorstep. One was Blaine, she recognised the him from the picture in Kurt's locker, but she didn't know who the other one was. Maybe it was Wes or David, she thought, as Kurt had mentioned he had spoken to those two at Dalton. "Hi, I'm Mercedes." she offered her name.

"I'm Blaine." Blaine shook Mercedes' hand, smiling, deciding it probably would be best not to mention she knew him from the picture in Kurt's locker. She didn't know if Blaine gave him the picture or not, but made a mental note to ask Kurt about it later.

"I'm Wes." the other said, also shaking Mercedes' hand. So it was one of the other two, she thought. She wondered if he was gay as well, or not. He was kind of cute, she thought.

"I'll go get Kurt, you can come in if you want." she felt odd inviting the boys inside, since it wasn't her house, but she knew she couldn't just leave them on the doorstep. The would just be rude. The two boys stepped inside as she dashed off to the bathroom to get Kurt.

"Nearly done, there?" she asked as she entered. Kurt was just packing his things away. "Oh do that later, let's go out." she took Kurt's hand and pulled him towards the front door, leaving his toiletries across the bathroom, much to his protests.

"Hi Kurt," the Wes said to Kurt, smiling. Wes thought it was going to be an interesting night, to say the least. "Ok, let's go, Blaine's been talking about this all week." he said wickedly. Kurt looked down at the floor, as did Blaine as Wes said this. Mercedes looked between the two boys, as did Wes, then caught each other's eyes. They both knew the boys liked each other instantly, though they didn't seem to have figured it out yet. Mercedes had been afraid this evening might be awkward, but was prepared to do it for Kurt. Wes seemed nice though, maybe it wouldn't be too bad. At least, she hoped it wouldn't be.

"I'll drive." Wes said, then added to Mercedes, "You sit in the front, let those two have the backseat." he suggested, smiling. He seemed to have a similar mindset to Mercedes, she thought, as she had been just thinking that herself. She had a feeling this evening would be quite a success.

In the car, Mercedes looked in the mirror to see the two boys sitting side by side, doing the whole staring at the other, catching each others eyes, then blushing and turning away rapidly. Mercedes couldn't help but smile at them. She looked over at Wes and raised her eyebrows at him. She was suddenly having an idea.

As they got to the restaurant, Wes pulled up to the front of it.

"Hey Kurt, Blaine, how about you go inside and grab us a table. Me and Wes will catch you up in a sec, ok?" Mercedes suggested to the rest of them, giving Wes a look as if to say disagree with me and die.

"Er, sure, ok." Kurt answered. He would be alone with Blaine for like ten minutes. He had done it before, but it felt different now. He knew Mercedes was trying to be nice and give them their privacy, but he didn't think Blaine liked him in that way. This was going to backfire, he thought. He couldn't argue though, otherwise Blaine would think something was up and he didn't want to explain that to Blaine. He didn't want to risk their friendship over one of his crushes. It wouldn't be the first time it had happened to him, Kurt thought of Finn.

"Yeah, see you inside." Blaine said as he got out of the car. It would be like he actually was on a date with Kurt. For about five minutes, but still, it was better than nothing. The only problem was, he had no idea what Kurt was thinking. Was there maybe a tiny chance Kurt actually liked him? Blaine doubted it, in all honesty. Blaine had just been a friend, someone to talk to, as nobody at McKinley understood anything. Kurt couldn't possibly want anything more than friendship now, with Karofsky and all at school, he thought, even if he did like Blaine, which he wouldn't do. Because he was just a guy who gave advice, which backfired and turned out to be awful advice. Blaine still blamed himself for what Karofsky did to Kurt. He couldn't believe what had happened and felt so guilty about it.


"I don't know much about Blaine, apart from the fact that Kurt can't stop talking about him 24/7." Mercedes began the conversation between the two of them, as they walked towards the restaurant.

Wes laughed. "Yeah, the same goes for Blaine. I mean, talking about Kurt non-stop, that is." he replied.

As the two of them reached the entrance, they saw the boys sitting by the window opposite one another. Mercedes wondered if they might like some time with just the two of them.

"So, how long shall we leave them together?" Mercedes asked Wes, as they stood a bit back from the restaurant and watched them.

"Hhmm, I vote we just watch what they do. I mean, us being there is probably not going to help them." Wes replied, "I mean if they're uncomfortable now, us being there would make it more so." he added.

"Yeah, lets just wait here for a bit. Want a sweet?" she asked, pulling a pack out of her bag. She felt like she was at the cinema, watching the boys from a distance.

"Great idea, I'm sure it will give Blaine and Kurt time to really get to know each other." he agreed with a wicked grin, taking a sweet and leaning back against the wall.


Kurt and Blaine were sitting at one of the booths by the window, which had given Mercedes and Wes the perfect view of them. The first couple of minutes they had just spent awkwardly not saying anything, waiting for the other two to arrive. Then, Blaine decided to break the silence.

"So...what do you want to eat?" he asked, thinking it was a simple question.

"I'm not sure. I can't decide between the chicken or this salad. You?" Kurt replied, not adding much to the somewhat limited conversation.

"The chicken does look good. I'm thinking maybe the curry though." Blaine said.

The silence in the conversation continued for another minute or two. Where on earth were Wes and Mercedes, Blaine thought. It did not take that long to park a car, even if your name was Wes. It then dawned on him what might be going on. It would be like Wes to purposely take his time to leave him alone with Kurt. It was what Blaine had originally intended, and he was sure Wes knew. He was never good at keeping secrets, especially from his friends. Well, he better take advantage of it, before the two showed up, he thought.

"Kurt..." he began, not knowing how to exactly say it.

"Yes..." Kurt replied, mimicking Blaine's tone. He was beginning to wonder where Mercedes and Wes were, but his train of thought got cut of by Blaine's lovely voice. He did have a lovely voice. Especially when he sang, Kurt thought back to the Warblers' performance of Teenage Dream.

"I was...well..." Blaine continued, still not getting much out. "Ok, I just wanted to say, before the other two come, that..." he forced himself not to chicken out now, like he did the last time. Kurt was full of courage, he needed to be strong like Kurt he told himself. "I like you Kurt." he said it. No turning back now. He really hoped he didn't freak out Kurt. He knew Kurt must have a lot going on in his life now. He didn't need another gay guy crushing on him, he really didn't. Why had Blaine told him, why? He was almost regretting what he had said when he heard Kurt's soft, gentle voice in response.

"Y-you do?" Kurt asked, amazed. Blaine liked him. As in, not just as a friend, he properly liked him. Kurt couldn't believe it. Blaine was popular, had a great voice, was smart and gave great advice and was handsome and so much more. What did Blaine see in him?

Blaine simply nodded, watching Kurt's reaction. He hadn't expected Kurt to return his sentiments, so he wasn't too disappointed. Ok, so maybe a little, but still. Blaine watched Kurt's amazement, but couldn't understand it. What was not to like about Kurt? He looked to cute as he just sat there. He wasn't doing anything but being adorable, but Blaine tried not to stare too much at him. He didn't want it to freak Kurt out. But those beautiful eyes...Blaine forced himself to look downwards.

Kurt looked at Blaine. Blaine was perfect. In every way. He was everything Kurt had ever hoped for in a boy, and he was gay too which made a change from his past crushes. Blaine looked down at the floor, though Kurt didn't get why. Then he realised he hadn't actually responded to what Blaine had said. Oh. "Blaine." he said, willing the boy to look up. Blaine did. "I-I really like you too." he said, smiling. Blaine's face lit up as the words came out of his mouth. He looked so handsome when he smiled, Kurt thought.

Blaine reached over the table and took Kurt's hand. That simple gesture showed everything. Everything that Kurt had never had in his life when he wanted it, or only when he didn't. Everything Blaine had longed for for many years now. The two boys smiled at each other. The moment was broken as both of their phones beeped at them.

To: Blaine

From: Wes

-Hey when you are finished call me or Merc for a lift back. I'm sure you'll have a GR8 time. Talk later about EVRYTHNG ;);)-

The boys looked outside to see their friends watching them. They wondered why they hadn't noticed until now. Letting go of each other's hands, they texted their friends back.

Blaine looked longingly at Kurt as he replied to Wes. He was so happy Kurt felt the same way as him, he couldn't stop smiling.

To: Wes

From: Blaine

-Hahaha shut up. No talk later. Or ever. Ever.-

To: Mercedes

From: Kurt

-Will do all of the above. ~K~-

Kurt looked up at Blaine as he finished texting Mercedes. Were they like, dating? Kurt hoped so. He wasn't sure exactly though. All he knew was that this was the start of something. Something he had wanted for so long, something new, something different, something exciting, something else.
