The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a weekend, but it worked out well for them, as they were able to get seats in the back corner almost immediately. Half way through the meal, Kurt got a weird look on his face and promptly began wedging himself into the corner.
"What's up?" Blaine asked in confusion, raising his eyebrows.
"Shh," Kurt whispered, glancing past Blaine's head again.
"What's wrong," Blaine repeated, quieter this time, as he leaned across the table towards Kurt.
"Nothing, it's just-"
"What are you doing here Kurt?" a voice said behind them. Blaine turned and saw a somewhat familiar looking girl walking towards them. "Who's this? Secret boyfriend?" the girl looked Blaine up and down while he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"He's not-" Kurt sighed loudly. "Santana, this is Blaine. Blaine, this is Santana."
Blaine extended a hand to shake hers, only dropping it back down on the table when he was met with a raised eyebrow.
"He looks familiar," she replied, eyeing him while speaking to Kurt.
"He looks like a river boat person from one of my books." Blaine's eyes shot to the girl who was now standing next to Santana. "Hi," she said, waving to him with a smile on her face. "I'm Brittany."
"Hi Brittany," he replied, feeling much more comfortable in her presence than Santana's. Kurt he noticed, seemed to be having a silent conversation with Santana.
"I'll leave as soon as you give me the scoop on why you're here with 'Blaine,'" she said to Kurt, finally breaking their silence.
"Promise you'll go away?"
"Yes."
"And leave us be for the rest of the evening, and that you won't bring this up in glee?" he raised an eyebrow in challenge to her.
"I can't promise that I won't bring it up in glee, because I'm not sure just how good this is yet, but yeah, sure, we can leave you alone tonight, Brits and I got better things to do than bother you and gelhead."
Blaine blanched at the nickname, but chose to ignore it seeing at how Kurt was about to make her leave them alone.
"Fine. Blaine and I are on a date, and he's Rachel's brother. Will you leave now?"
A jubilant grin grew on Santana's face. "You're having dinner with the hobbits brother? Yo-"
"Santana." Kurt cut across her speech forcefully. "We can talk about this on Monday if you're so inclined, but for now please leave us alone."
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes at Kurt before turning back to Blaine and smiling sweetly. "Tell Rachel I say hi."
Once she and Brittany had gone to their own table, which was luckily across the restaurant, Blaine turned to Kurt with a slightly stunned expression, noting Kurt's annoyed glare in their direction. "I thought she hated my sister…? Or is Rachel just exaggerating?"
Kurt turned his attention back to Blaine. "I wouldn't say Santana hates her. They certainly don't get along very well, but there really aren't many people that Santana truly hates. She can't put up with her for very long, but I think she's fond of Rachel in her own way."
"Huh." Blaine shrugged. "Moments like these make me glad I go to an all boys school. They all have their drama but it seems less complicated than whatever's going on there."
