After getting coffee the other day, Kurt had brought Blaine back to his house and showed him how to gel his hair back. It was different, and looked like a helmet...but Blaine liked it. He especially liked getting to hang out with Kurt. After finishing their hair makeover, Kurt asked if Blaine wanted to stay over and study, to which Blaine replied yes. They sat together on Kurt's bed and looked at their homework.
"I don't get this calculus crap!" Kurt exclaimed slamming his textbook shut in frustration.
"What are you learning?" Blaine asked, trying to help.
"Derivatives or something." Kurt moaned.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" Blaine asked.
'Be my guest." Kurt said as he handed him the book. Blaine took the book into his hands and looked over the pages.
"Okay, which problem were you trying to do?" Blaine asked. Kurt pointed to number forty three and Blaine started in on an in depth answer about how to do the problem. Kurt just stared at Blaine in disbelief. "What?" Blaine asked, finally realizing that Kurt hadn't really been listening to his math explanation.
"How did you know that?" Kurt asked. "Aren't you in algebra two?"
"Well yeah, but I like math." Blaine replied. "Sometimes I read up on my own."
"You have some willpower." Kurt laughed. "...and you're a little nerdy. But, I like it."
"Just because I like to study doesn't make me a nerd." Blaine retorted playfully slapping Kurt on the arm, which made him giggle. Suddenly, there was a knock at Kurt's bedroom door.
"Hey boys," Burt said. "Dinner's about ready. Blaine can stay too if he wants."
"Oh thank you Mr. Hummel, but no thank you." Blaine replied. "I really should be getting home."
"Then, next time." Burt replied. "Oh and Blaine, call me Burt." he added.
"Sure, Burt." Blaine replied as he gathered his things and put them into his bag. "Well, I should get going and let you guys have your dinner."
"I'll walk you out." Kurt added standing up from the bed. They both went downstairs and Kurt walked out onto the front porch with Blaine. "I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Y-yeah." Blaine said. "I-I actually w-wanted to ask you something." he stuttered.
"Sure, anything." Kurt replied.
"W-would you ummm...like to...maybe see a movie with me tomorrow?" Blaine asked, visibly shaking from his nerves.
"I'd love to." Kurt replied, a huge smile on his face. "I'll see you tomorrow." In disbelief, Blaine nodded his head and then took off down the sidewalk. He could believe that Kurt had really said yes.
The next day after school, Blaine went home immediately and began trying on had to look nice for his….well movie with Kurt tonight….maybe date. He went through his closet and finally decided on a nice pair of blue jeans and a red collared sweater. He gelled his hair back, just as Kurt had showed him and then positioned his black frame glasses on his face. Looking at the clock, Blaine realized that he needed to leave and went into the living room. His mom sat on the couch watching television.
"Mom, I'm going to a movie with a friend, okay?" Blaine said.
"Sure honey, have fun." She replied with a wave of her gave his mom one last smile and then went out of the door and walked to the bus station. Once the bus arrived, he took a seat and rode it all the way to Kurt's house.
"Thank you." Blaine said to the bus driver, as he exited the bus. The driver didn't say anything back before closing the folding doors. Blaine shrugged off the driver's response and then walked towards Kurt's front door. He rang the doorbell and waited in anticipation. Shortly after the door opened to reveal Kurt who looked amazing.
"Hey, " He said a smile on his face. "Let me just grab a jacket and we'll head to the movie." Blaine nodded and followed Kurt inside. Burt and Carole were sitting in the living room.
"Hi honey." Carole said.
"Hello, Mrs Hummel." Blaine said with a wave of his hand.
"It's Carole hun." She replied in correction. Blaine nodded to show that he understood.
"Okay, i'll be back after the movie and I drop Blaine off at his house." Kurt replied.
"Sure kiddo." Burt said. "Have fun." he added before Kurt and Blaine went outside and got into Kurt's Navigator. They rode to the movie theater and then once in the movie theater, they got into the line to buy popcorn and soda.
"Do you want anything?" Kurt asked.
"Umm, whatever you like." Blaine replied.
"I'll just get a large popcorn and two drinks. What do you want to drink?" he asked, pulling money from his wallet.
"I want a coke...and let me get that." Blaine added, grabbing his wallet.
"Hey put that away!" Kurt scolded. "I've got this one. You paid for the tickets." he added with a smile. After getting the popcorn and soda, Kurt and Blaine head into the dark theater and took a seat next to one another. "I'm really excited for this movie. I heard it's really good."
"Yeah,' Blaine replied. "Me too." he added although he was completely lying. He had no idea what this movie was about and had a feeling he wouldn't really be paying very close attention. They chatted for a few minutes before the lights turned off and the movie began to play.
At one point during the movie, Kurt and Blaine each reached for the the popcorn and their hands touched one another, which both of them flinch away. Then, at the end, the main character was dying, his love by his side. Blaine heard sniffles at his side and looked over to find Kurt crying. Wanting to provide some sort of comfort, Blaine hesitantly reached over and placed his hand on top of Kurt's. Kurt looked over to Blaine and smiled before gripping Blaine's hand.
just a little tighter.
After the movie, Blaine and Kurt went out to Kurt's Navigator and got in, so they could drive Blaine home. Once there, Kurt walked Blaine up to his apartment door. "Thanks for tonight." Kurt said. "It was really nice."
"Yeah, I had fun too." Blaine replied.
"Sorry about the crying." Kurt apologized. "I'm such a sap when it comes to movies like that."
"It's okay...I...uhh..though it was cute." Blaine stuttered out. Kurt smiled and an silence came over the two as they looked into one another's eyes. Slowly they leaned closer and closer towards each other, their lips puckered.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opened. "Blaine, get in here now!" Blaine's mother said loudly before shutting the door.
"Who was that?" Kurt asked, quickly breaking away from Blaine.
"My mom…" Blaine groaned. "I- uhh have to go. I'll see you later." he added before disappearing inside. There was nothing left for Kurt to do, but to head home.
So close! But, our boys are making progress!
