Blaine was startled awake by the alarm on his phone ringing. He groaned and tried to turn to shut it off, only to be stopped by a body almost completely on top of him. 'Kurt. SHIT! Think quickly.'
Kurt rolled over and grabbed Blaine's phone and hit the snooze button but opened his eyes nonetheless. Blaine watched with wide eyes as Kurt handed over his phone as he stretched out his long body. Blaine was amazed at how calm Kurt was. Blaine took the opportunity to sit up and scoot away from Kurt to try and show some respect.
"I don't have cooties you know."
Blaine was more startled by Kurt's voice than his alarm clock. He heard Kurt chuckle as he obviously had felt Blaine jump. When Kurt looked up at him, Blaine felt his heart melt. Kurt's hair had gotten messed up through the night and his eyes shone bright with energy. Blaine couldn't help but smile. 'Beautiful.'
"Uh, sorry." Blaine said as he scooted back next to Kurt.
Kurt sat up when Blaine was settled again. Blaine felt Kurt's hand grasp onto his again and his heart began to flutter. 'He still wants to hold my hand? Maybe this can work out after all.'
"C-can you please hand me my glasses?" Blaine asked and Kurt complied, "Thanks."
"No problem."
Blaine put on his glasses and looked at Kurt's face properly. It was even more beautiful when seen in clear vision. Kurt's eyes met Blaine's and Blaine felt his heartbeat pick up again. He saw Kurt's eyes flick quickly to his lips then back to his eyes. Blaine's tongue acted on its own and darted out to wet his dry lips. Blaine felt himself leaning forward slightly and his breath hitched as he saw Kurt do the same. When their lips were mere centimeters apart a shrill sound echoed through the room.
"Damn phone." Blaine heard himself mumble and he blushed immensely as he fiddled with the buttons until his alarm was turned off for good.
He heard Kurt chuckle next to him. Blaine smiled at the sound.
"Okay sir, I think we should get up and gather our stuff and hit the city. It's not every day we get to see so many people and shops all in one small area." Kurt said playfully.
Blaine's heart plummeted, he knew the mood was killed but it still sent a pang to his chest.
"Let's do it."
Kurt's stomach hurt from laughing so hard as he and Blaine walked back to the car after dinner. They had yet to drive back to Lima and Kurt really didn't mind that they were taking their time getting back there. 'I could spend forever with him.'
When they reached the car Kurt reluctantly let go of Blaine's hand as he headed to his side of the car. Once they were on the main highway with music blasting, Kurt reached over and took hold of Blaine's hand from where it rested in his lap. Blaine looked to Kurt and smiled. Kurt moved their hands to rest on the center console so he didn't have to stretch so far. He leaned his head back against the headrest and turned to watch Blaine sing happily to a Katy Perry song. Kurt's heart swelled in his chest again.
The next song to come on the playlist was 'I'll Cover You'. Blaine looked over and Kurt smiled and nodded.
"I'll take Angel's part." Kurt said just before he began to sing.
As the song progressed, Kurt felt tears sting the back of his eyes. He held them at bay but the realization of their meaning hit him like a freight train. 'I'd do anything for you. Please be mine. Please Blaine, give me a chance.'
When the song ended, they smiled widely at each other but the strong tension from the night before was back. They continued to sing the rest of the way home. As they reached the outskirts of Lima Kurt felt Blaine's thumb begin to rub circles on the back of his hand. Kurt looked to Blaine, his face was somber as though he realized the weekend trip was over, thus the comfort they felt together would be over. 'I hope it isn't over Blaine. Tell me it isn't over.'
When they pulled into Kurt's driveway, he tightened his grip on Blaine's hand for a moment before reaching for the door pull. When Kurt stepped out he heard Blaine's door open and he looked over to the boy. Blaine adjusted his glasses as he walked to the back of the car.
"Let me help you bring your purchases up to your house." Blaine said quietly.
They walked to the door and Kurt sent Blaine a sad smile before opening his front door.
When the door was fully open Blaine watched Kurt step inside and he followed suit.
"Hey Kurt! Is Blaine here with you?"
Blaine looked down the hallway to see Burt's head over the back of a couch in the middle of what Blaine presumed to be the living room. Blaine had always avoided going to Finn's 'Glee Dude's Game Nights' so he wouldn't have to see Kurt more than necessary, so it was his first time in the Hudmel household.
"Yeah dad. He helped me bring my bags in from his car."
"Hi Burt." Blaine said, remembering that Mr. Hummel had corrected him earlier in the weekend so it was too soon to be polite again.
"Hey there, kid. Kurt didn't cause any trouble this weekend did he?" Burt said as he entered the hallway where Kurt and Blaine stood.
"Dad" Kurt hissed and Blaine laughed.
"No, sir. We had a good time. Thanks for letting him come with me."
Burt nodded, "How'd you like the performance?"
"It was fantastic. I was in awe the whole time." Blaine said and blushed at his outburst.
Burt laughed, "Good. I'm headed to bed; feel free to hang out if you want. I just was waiting up to make sure my son made it home okay." He said as he turned and walked away.
Blaine turned to Kurt and smiled to hide the pain in his heart. "I should probably go, it's late. I'll see you for tutoring tomorrow though."
Kurt nodded. Blaine looked at him for a moment longer. 'Ask him. Find out what's going to happen. Don't suffer all night to only find out he just wants to be acquaintances tomorrow.'
"Goodnight Kurt."
"Goodnight Blaine." Kurt's voice sounded sad.
Blaine took a chance and leaned forward to wrap his arms around Kurt's shoulders. He felt Kurt sigh and wrap his arms around his torso. He held on for a couple minutes, cherishing the last moments of the amazing weekend that would forever live in 'What Could Have Been' land.
Blaine turned, opened the front door and stepped out into the night. He heard the soft click of the door behind him and sighed. He slowly walked to his car, silent tears sliding down his cheeks. 'I should have known better than let my heart get involved.'
Blaine sat in his seat and took a steadying breath. He turned the key to power up his car and as he was beginning to back out of the driveway he saw Kurt running frantically toward him. 'What did he forget?' Blaine hit the brakes.
Blaine wiped at his cheeks to clear any stray tears and rolled down his window.
"H-hi, did you forget something?" Blaine asked but noticed that Kurt's eyes had tears in them as well, "Kurt, are you okay?"
Kurt shrugged, "That depends, I guess."
Blaine put his car in park and sat back, "On what?"
Kurt's eyes blazed into Blaine's and he felt his cheeks burn as he adjusted his glasses.
"I know I'll see you tomorrow, and like every morning after that, but I'm wondering if maybe you want to grab some dinner with me? Like maybe on Thursday?" Kurt said and Blaine struggled to get a breath.
'Did he really just ask me out? Did that just happen?'
"Y-yes. I'd really like that, Kurt." Blaine said as a wide smile pulled on his mouth.
A huge smile graced Kurt's face as well, "Awesome. We can set up details tomorrow or something, I just wanted to ask tonight or else I'd keep myself up all night with anxiety of not knowing what you'd say."
Blaine laughed lightly, "Sounds good. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
The next day, Kurt woke up exhausted. He hadn't fallen asleep until really late because he was so excited that Blaine had said yes. He got dressed in one of his many new outfits and trudged into the kitchen where Carole sat.
"Hi sweetie. Did you and Blaine have a good weekend?"
"Hey Carole. Yeah, it was great. The show was amazing. What about you? How did Finn like working out with the college?"
"What college, dude? I had summer practice for Mckinley on Saturday."
Kurt looked wide eyed at Carole. 'She lied to me? What is going on?'
"Don't worry out it Finn. Okay, Kurt, listen. We knew you'd probably offer the tickets to Blaine and that he would probably offer for you to go with him. You were the wild card of whether or not you'd say yes. You have been so happy this summer since you've been spending time with him and we wanted to try to get you boys to realize you could have something…special." Carole said quickly while looking at her coffee mug.
'They set me up? They tricked me? They…who's they?'
"Who's we?"
Carole looked up guiltily, "Your father and I. Why do you think he was so happy last night when you both came in and were all smiles? He was so happy when he came in to tell me it was a success. You surpassed expectations when you ask-"
"Stop." Kurt said, eyeing Finn, who was watching them with utter confusion on his face. "As much as I'd like to say I'm angry, I'm really not. Things worked out alright." 'More than alright.'
Carole smiled at Kurt and he grabbed his bag and smiled back.
"Wait. I'm so confused. Was I supposed to be at a college this weekend? Kurt, did Blaine tutor you this weekend? I thought you had weekends off?" Finn said.
Carole rolled her eyes, "Go. I'll explain."
Kurt shot her a warning glance, 'Don't tell him Blaine and I are going on a date,' and she nodded.

When Kurt walked into the coffee shop fifteen minutes later, he looked around and was disappointed to see Blaine wasn't there yet. He ordered their usual coffees and walked to their table. He glanced at the clock, 8:20 am. 'Strange.'
At 8:41 am Kurt decided to call Blaine. 'Maybe he slept through his alarm.'
"Hi Kurt, I'm sorry. I'm on my way. I really should have called, I'm coming. Sorry." Blaine said, but his voice sounded broken and he sniffled.
"Blaine, it's okay. I was just calling to make sure you're awake. Are you crying?" Kurt said worriedly.
Blaine sniffled again, "D-don't worry about it. I'll be there soon. Try to start on your m-math packet if you can."
"But-" Kurt tried, but the line was dead.
He set his phone on the table in front of him and stared at it.
'What's wrong? Please don't regret agreeing to go out with me. Please don't regret this weekend. What's wrong?"
Kurt got up and ordered a fresh cup of coffee for Blaine. As he turned to head back to the table he saw Blaine speed walking through the front door. Kurt gasped and the cup in his hand slipped from his grasp and exploded onto the floor.
