With every day, Valentine's Day drew closer, and Kurt's anticipation grew. Alex was going insane hearing him babble about it.

"I wonder what he's going to do," Kurt said for probably the millionth time.

"Kurt, we've been over this. Don't worry. It's going to be perfect; this is Blaine. He IS a hopeless romantic."

"I know it's going to be perfect Alex, I just want to know what he's going to do."

"Okay Kurt, you've forced me to do this. I know that Valentine's Day is next weekend, but we are ditching class today."

"Alex! You're the dean's daughter!"

"Exactly," she said with a wink.

Kurt was pulled behind her down the hallway. It was still before school, and he had barely gotten dressed before Alex barged into the room. Blaine was still in the shower. They had gotten to talking and this was the result. Before he knew it, Kurt was in the dean's office listening to Alex persuade her father.

"Daddy, I have a giant favor to ask," she started.

Kurt could see as soon as she said 'daddy' she had whatever it was she wanted.

"Kurt said he would take me out for my birthday, and I want to do it on my actual birthday, not this weekend. Would that be okay?"

"Of course, my dear. Just be back in time for curfew, and Kurt, no funny business."

Kurt looked up and sputtered.

"Oh no daddy, Kurt is taken. Not by me of course, he is simply a close friend, just like Blaine."

With that Kurt was being pulled out into the hall again.

"Alex, should I text Blaine and tell him to come too?"

"Yes Kurt, because I want your boyfriend to be there while we find something fantastic for you to wear on Valentine's Day. I didn't want to surprise him at all," she said with a roll of her eyes.

"Fine, let me at least text him."

"Don't tell him what we're doing!"

Kurt shook his head at her. Sometimes she could be absolutely ridiculous.

I'm being kidnapped by Alex, I do not know how long I will be her captive, and I highly doubt there is a ransom demand. –K

So that's why she was so anxious to get you out while I was in the shower. Fine, you go out gallivanting and I'll spend French class alone :( - B

It'll be worth it. I promise ;) – K

Woah Kurt, I didn't know that was my Vday Present :D. – B

You wish. –K

I do. –B

Sometimes I wonder where the dapper Blaine went. It was like he ran away after I said yes to him. –K

Dapper Blaine is on a honeymoon with his other boyfriend. –B

I'm hurt Blaine, why would you do that to me? –K

You can't tie Dapper Blaine down Kurt, but Un-dapper Blaine is all yours. –B

I suppose I can live with that. –K

Alex just sent me a text telling me to "leave the hostage alone if you want to live." I'll text you later. –B

Bye Blainey :) I love you. –K

See you later Kurty-bear ;) I love you too. –B

Alex looked up to see Kurt smiling at his phone. Again. How to fix this problem? She pulled out her phone and texted Blaine herself. Your boyfriend is giving his phone that dopey look again. Stop distracting him! I'm trying to benefit you both, so leave the hostage alone if you want to live! – A

Alex, have I ever told you that as much as I adore you, you are absolutely ridiculous? –B

I believe you have mentioned it once or twice, now if you still want my help next Friday, then leave my hostage alone. –A

Fineeeeeeeeeee. :D –B

Thank you Blainey-Bug xDDDDD –A

"Come on Kurt, we have to go," she said linking arms with him and pulling him outside towards his car. "Give me the keys."

"WHAT? ARE YOU INSANE?"

"Yes, now Kurt, fork over the keys."

"No! What if-"

"Do you want my help or not?"

"Yes but-"

"Keys. Now."

Grudgingly, Kurt held them out. She snatched them away with a slight giggle.

"Thank you Kurty."

"Wait, Alex, are you even old enough to drive? Do you have a license?"

"Yep, I just got it yesterday."

They settled in for the 45 minute ride to the closest mall and started from the beginning. The mall was just opening, so they were in luck. At about noon they stopped for lunch and then continued shopping.

By about 3, the time classes were over; Kurt had found everything he needed. This included a silver knitted top that brought out his eyes wonderfully, as well as a new pair of black skinny jeans which fit perfectly. He had a pair of black boots with a slight heel already, and he replenished his skin and hair care products. He had also bought a few things for Alex. She had an outfit that reminded him of Tina, but she wore it with a lot less goth about her.

The dress was similar to Rachel's dress for the theatricality project. The good costume, not the travesty of animals she had stapled together. The bottom puffed out like a tutu, and the torso was a corset top, but the tutu itself was checkerboard. The corset top was black with red ribbon for the lacing. They bought her some babydoll heels that were mostly black, but had red flowers on the toe to complement the dress, and fingerless gloves to accessorize with. The gloves, were Black with ruffles around the wrist and had white lace around the finger holes.

Most people would not have been able to pull off the look in general, and people like Tina would have made it look a lot more punk or gothic, but somehow, Alex didn't look goth at all. She looked whimsical. Her dark brown hair framed her face perfectly, making her look not too childish, but at the same time, not like a hooker on Halloween.

She strutted around him a little bit when they had contemplated buying it.

"It looks perfect Alex! You should definitely get that. It would make any guy swoon over you."

"I like your taste Kurty. I think I will get it."

"Let me buy it for you, we did tell your dad I was taking you out for your birthday."

"Kurty, you don't have to."

"I want to. You did this for me, I want to repay you."

She shrugged. "Don't make a habit out of it then."

Kurt simply laughed. She posed for a picture and Kurt sent it to Blaine.

Doesn't she look amazing? –K

Totally swoon sauce worthy –B

Swoon sauce? –K

Blaine almost laughed out loud in class. He could simply picture Kurt giving him that look with his eye brow raised. Blaine knew some of the things he did made Kurt think he was clinically insane. He couldn't say it wasn't fun though.

Yes swoon sauce. You might reach the status of Swoon Sauce Worthy one day. – B

Blaine. I am shaking my head. You are impossible. –K

I know :DDDDD –B

"Kurt," Alex said waving her hand in front of his face. "You're smiling at your phone again. Leave lover boy alone and help me carry the rest of this stuff. We'll head back so you can swoon sauce all over him as much as you can before the warblers meeting tomorrow."

"What is a swoon sauce? Blaine said that too!" Kurt exclaimed just a little confused.

"Blaine kinda invented it hun. You do it whenever someone mentions him, but you basically explode swoon sauce everywhere when you're with him."

Because that answered so much, Kurt gave her a look conveying this message.

"You are hopeless! The way you smile at your phone when he texts, or when you just kinda leave earth whenever someone mentions him. You just generally swoon."

"He is the hopeless one. Not me," Kurt said with a bit of a laugh. Hopeless though Blaine Anderson was, it was impossible not to love him.

Alex shook her head as they got back into Kurt's explorer and started driving back to Dalton. When Teenage Dream came on the radio Alex shook her head and changed it.

"Hey! I like that song!"

"Sorry Kurty, I don't think you realize how sick of that song I am. It has been on infinite repeat indefinitely since Blaine met you."

What Kurt did then, was what he was sure Alex dubbed swoon saucing, but he didn't care. He had butterflies swarming his stomach and he felt so utterly loved.

"Kurt, we're here."

No answer.

"Kurt! Hello!"

He was still in space. Alright then, how to fix this?

Alex pulled out her phone and dialed a number secretly hoping Kurt wouldn't kick back into reality.

"Get out here in the parking lot I have a plan," she whispered. Then looking over she released a little sigh. Kurt was still wherever the hell he was with Blaine in his head.

Blaine, was out in seconds and he quickly switched with Alex. She walked inside and Blaine took her seat. He left his door open not wanting to bring Kurt back to earth quite yet, and leaned over to whisper in Kurt's ear.

"Kurt, come back to earth baby. I'm here now."

Kurt heard the sexy whisper, and for some reason that knocked him out of his reverie. He shook his head and he looked over to see Blaine sitting next to him.

"I see you were swoon saucing again," Blaine said looking up from underneath his thick lashes. "Alex says you do that a lot."

"I do not!" Kurt was red up to his hairline though, and he was smiling a lot.

Blaine leaned over to whisper in his ear again, " I do."

Then, Kurt's phone rang. He glared at the name on the caller ID.

"Hi Alex,"

"Why don't you two come out of the car? We're getting a little suspicious in here."

Blaine of course, heard this, and his dapper side was still on honeymoon apparently, because he chose at that moment to say very loudly, "Ohhhhh Kurt, don't stop baby!"

"BLAINE!" Kurt shouted with giggles.

There was a click and Alex was gone.

"You did not just do that!" Kurt laughed rolling his eyes.

"He did."

Kurt spun around knowing exactly who the voice belonged to.

"Hello Wes, David."

"You shouldn't do that you know, Alex has bets going on you two."

"Is this supposed to be surprising David?" Blaine rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Why are you so happy?" Wes decided to inquire, "Are we missing something?"

"Nope, I'm just excited for next Friday. I think I put together the best day for us," Blaine said leaning over kissing Kurt.

Wes and David gagged and mumbled something about homework and walked away.

"Just remember, we have dinner with my parents this Friday."

"Yes Kurt I know. It'll be fine. I promise."

Finally, they got out of the car and walked in. What they saw next neither expected.
