CHAPTER 7
Blaine knocked at Kurt's door.
"Hi," the prince opened the door and leaned against it, smiling softly.
"So," Blaine fidgeted nervously, "I figured I should take you out maybe?"
Kurt beamed, "Like a date?"
"Um yeah, if you want to?" Blaine said hopeful.
"Blaine, I kissed you senseless in front of my father mere hours ago. I would love to go on a date with you," Kurt gloated.
"Ok, wow, great," Blaine grinned, "Okay so I'll pick you up around seven?"
"Sure, where are we going?" Kurt asked.
Blaine merely smiled in response, "Let me surprise you."
"Okay," Kurt grinned and closed the door, leaning back against it. He suppressed the urge to squeal. Blaine Would probably hear him if he did. And he didn't want to be too obvious.
Blaine on the other hand, nearly skipped back to his room where Wesley and David were sitting on the bed, waiting for him.
"And?" Wesley asked.
"He said yes," Blaine grinned and fell down on the bad, face first. He held one of the pillows against his chest and rolled onto his side, beaming at both his friends.
"Why wouldn't he," David said matter-of-factly, "You are like, the prince of his dreams."
"Well, I still have to impress him," Blaine said.
"Why?" Wesley asked.
"Well, look at me," Blaine gestured at himself.
"You look fine to me," David said.
"Yes, because I'm a prince," Blaine answered, "I have to live up to those expectations now."
Wesley look concerned, "Blainers, you should just be yourself."
"No way, Kurt will never like me as me. A street rat. A con. A thief," Blaine shook his head in denial.
"That's not all you are," David interjected, "You're also honest, sweet, kind of a dork."
Blaine shook his head, "That won't matter. Nobody ever sees that, they only see the bad. No, I can't let Kurt see that."
"Blaine, you have to be honest," Wesley said, Be yourself."
"Sure, but the prince version of myself," Blaine replied, "Everything has to be perfect and prince worthy!"
David shot a glance and Wes, who looked like he nearly regretted granting Blaine's wish.
Kurt was humming while rummaging through his closet. He was looking for the perfect scarf to complete his outfit. Tonight was a big night. It was his and Blaine's official first date, and he was gonna make it count.
"There you are," he took his favorite scarf out just when there was a knock at his door.
He put in on, gave himself one last glance in the mirror, rearranging a couple hairs, and skipped to the door.
"Hi," he opened it, nearly squealing with joy. He couldn't believe his luck, he'd actually found someone who liked him, and he was a prince. Life probably wouldn't get any better.
"Hi," Blaine answered, "so you ready?"
Kurt nodded enthusiastically, "You'll finally tell me where we're going?"
"You'll see," Blaine said while he led Kurt towards a coach with horses that was waiting for them. Kurt's eyes widened at the sight. He had not expected that. But okay, he had to admit, it looked nice. He got in it with Blaine beside him, wondering where they were going.
Kurt looked around at the restaurant, silently sighing. He had hoped something more private. More of them and less, well, less other people. Especially people like these. He thought Blaine got that he didn't really like his royal status.
But it didn't matter, it was him and Blaine, he wouldn't let anything ruin this evening for him. The ride towards the restaurant had been awkward to say at least. They hadn't know what to do. What's the official thing when you have kissed each other senseless in front of other people, but never been on actual date? Kurt didn't know. But tonight was going to be good. Great! He beamed at Blaine, "So, tell me something."
Blaine smiled back, "You look beautiful."
Kurt blushed and ducked his head.
"Like a real prince,"
Kurt frowned at this, not really what he was going for, but well, "You too," he said. It was true, Blaine looked astonishing. He had a nice suit on. And his hair was gelled back. He looked perfect, not really like the Blaine he had met on the marketplace. But still very handsome.
"So, I heard you were a wild child," Kurt said, referring to what Wesley had told them before. About Blaine running away to explore the city.
"Um yeah sure, I used to be like that. But I grew out of it. I'm much more responsible now." Blaine answered.
"Oh," Kurt nodded, surprised at this answer, "Well I'd love to explore the city. My father hardly ever lets me out of his sight."
"I'm sure he loves you very much," Blaine reached over the table to grasp at Kurt's hand.
"Yeah, I know, but sometimes I'd just like to learn on my own, you know. Not always that protective shell over me."
"You should be glad your father loves you like he does," Blaine said, a little bitter.
Kurt looked up at this with a confused smile, "Your parents seem pretty awesome too, if they'd let you out and explore on your own."
"Um yeah, sure," Blaine answered.
"Didn't they?" Kurt squeezed softly at Blaine's hand, which the boy quickly withdrew.
"Yeah you're right, my parents were great," Blaine looked away. This was harder than he expected. He wanted nothing more then tell Kurt the truth. But an abusing father who left you and your mother when you were barely 10 didn't really fit in the image of perfect prince. He could almost hear Wesley in the back of his head telling him to be honest. But he shook the thought away.
"Hi, I'm Lara and I'll be your server for tonight," a girl interrupted their awkward conversation, "Are you ready to order?"
"Yes, we'll have the lamb stew please," Blaine answered for both of them.
Kurt who had been about to place his own order looked slightly taken aback. He knew it was custom for the men to order for their wife or date. But Blaine and he were equals. It's not because Kurt looked softer and feminine that he wanted to be 'the girl'. But he was sure Blaine had been sincere and was only trying to be polite. He smiled at the waitress who was eying him suspiciously. Like she could feel the tension.
"Okay, it will be right up," she smiled at the men and turned around.
Blaine slowly relaxed. He hoped he'd done the right thing by taking the lead. He hoped Kurt would appreciate that he tried to follow the protocol. But he should change the subject they were talking about before, "So, aren't we lucky we happened to run into each other. Two princes, wondering around at the market."
"Yeah," Kurt looked at him with a frown on his face, "Blaine when we met, what was the place you showed me as your home?"
"Oh um, noting. Just something I accidentally found it," Blaine avoided.
"But it was someone's house? You just broke into?" Kurt looked confused. When he thought about it, a lot of things confused him. The way Blaine had talked about the castle, like it was a dream of his. Not his actual life.
"Doesn't matter, I'll just give them some money, they won't care," Blaine tried to talk himself out of it.
"They won't mind?" Kurt said, "it's their home Blaine, it might not be much to us, but to the people living there it's probably everything."
Why did this Blaine feel so different from the one he had met before. The Blaine that had looked like him like he was the most precious thing in the world. The Blaine that had told him about dreaming of living in the castle. Something was wrong.
"Here you go," the waitress, Lara, put their food on the table.
"Thank you," Blaine replied, dismissing the waitress before Kurt could even say a word.
"Enjoy your meal," Blaine looked at Kurt, who was looking at his plate with his lips pressed tightly upon each other.
"Kurt?" Blaine asked softly.
The brown haired boy shook his head in denial, "I'm sorry, I can't do this." He said while getting up.
"What? Kurt what's wrong?" Blaine's eyes followed Kurt. The boy had gotten up, looking for the waitress.
"Hey Lara?" he said when he found her.
"Yes?" the girl looked up with a confused frown, "was the food not satisfactory?"
"I'm sure it's great. I just, I have to go, sorry. Here," he gave the girl some money to pay for his food, and a royal tip, "I'm sorry my," he looked at Blaine, "my acquaintance was such an **. I'm sure you deserve nicer customers." With that he turned around and walked out of the restaurant, leaving behind a stunned looking waitress and an even more startled Blaine.
Blaine's mind was working in overdrive. What had he done wrong? He had done everything that was expected from him, right? He had ordered the coach with horses. Totally royal worthy. He had taken Kurt to the nicest restaurant in the city. Only celebrity's and royals allowed of course. He had ordered their food, like he had learned was the protocol. The man would order for himself and his date. He hadn't been over friendly to the waitress, after all, she was a server, and he was supposed to be above that and look down on them. So he didn't get it. He had done everything a prince should have done, right?
"KURT," Blaine jumped from his seat and ran after the boy, hoping to fix whatever he broke.
Canadian-23: thanks, yes I liked it better this way. It seemed a bit ridiculous to me that Kurt wouldn't recognize Blaine, just because he's all cleaned up. So I changed it ;) also, as you requested, a diner scene ;) (don't worry, in the next chapter, there will be an actual romantic, fluffy dinner )
tomoyosita: haha, sorry girl, I'm not sure how I would fit that into this story. But I gave you a nice waitress part ;) you'll probably return in another chapter when Blaine gets his head out of his arse, and behaves like a gentleman :)
snape-rules44: ugh, you are amazing, thanks so much for being my beta! I'm so glad you asked it, I can really use one!
teamdelena1: the carpet ride will come soon! It will be slightly different, but it will be there (I love that scene too)
ashleyficator: thank, especially that last sentence meant a lot to me :) thanks for leaving a review! I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the story.
ForgottenPulse: ah yes, that video of Darren might have been my inspiration to start writing this :) I love that boy, singing covers of Disney songs. Can he get any more perfect? ;)
So you guys, I've been struggling with some parts of my story. I'm thinking about changing the way Kurt (Jasmine) finding out the truth about Blaine (Aladdin), with him not being a prince and all. I know in the movie, it's Jafar that reveals the truth. But just before that Aladdin plans on telling them himself. And I might go with that. I like the idea of Blaine telling Kurt the truth, and them both plotting against the Sultan so they can still be together. I just think Blaine HATES the fact that he has to lie to Kurt. I know it would kill me if I was in his position.
So what do you think, do you prefer the movie version? Or the slightly altered version? Let me know!
Also, I have a tumblr, if anyone is interested in talking to me outside of this site. I probably won't put a lot of my writing on there, but feel free to follow me ;)
