Where: Kurt's room

When: Directly following the scene in Kurt's room when Blaine tries to teach Kurt how to be sexy, episode "Sexy"

"There's a reason I love Broadway musicals so much, where the touch of the hand is as sexy as it gets." The boy looked like he was close to tears.

"Kurt, please. I didn't mean it like that, I agree with you. But no one should have to be afraid of something more, intimacy is supposed to be beautiful. I just want you to see that."

"I can't be sexy!", Kurt squealed, nervously twitching his fingers before him.

"Yes, you can. Kurt…" Blaine stood and took a step towards Kurt, reaching out for his hands and folding them into his own. "I know you can."

Kurt's eyes were focused on their linked hands, and in the silence that fell between them Blaine realized the other boy held his breath.

"Kurt, look at me." Kurt slowly raised his head and met Blaine's searching eyes, and Blaine sank deep in those clear pools of blue. "You don't have to try so hard."

Kurt's response to his words was not what he'd expected. A sudden flicker of anger crossed his face and he immediately snatched his hands from Blaine's grip. His voice was bitter when he spoke. "I know, Blaine, you don't have to tell me twice. I shouldn't try so hard, I should try to blend in."

Blaine shook his head, snapped back one of Kurt's hands and squeezed it firmly.

"No, listen. You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to try at all. Just be the amazing Kurt Hummel I know you can be and you'll blow everyone off their feet." Blaine took a step closer and had to tip his head back a bit to be able to keep eye contact with the slightly taller boy. "Don't try to be someone you're not, Kurt, when the one you truly are is so incredible."

"Sexy?", Kurt asked weakly.

"Incredibly sexy.", Blaine answered.
