"Everything set?" Blaine asked his boyfriend as soon as Kurt got off the phone.
Kurt smiled. "Yep. I told her that we didn't really get a chance to talk like I thought we were going to do last night, so I'm meeting her at the Lima Bean in one hour."
"And she doesn't know I'm coming?"
"Not a clue." Both boys shared a high five. "Awesome!" Blaine said.
"We have to hold off as long as possible." Kurt warned.
Blaine nodded. "And no physical contact. I mean...no hands touching or anything. Not even under the table."
Kurt agreed, but smirked at Blaine. "You should probably be convincing yourself of that one, instead of convincing me."
Blaine scoffed and feigned hurt. But Kurt started to fret, thinking that Blaine was actually offended. "Oh! Blaine, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"
But Blaine just laughed. "Kurt, calm down. I was just teasing you."
Kurt breathed, relieved, before slapping his boyfriend on the arm and scolded him. Blaine only grinned and leaned closer to Kurt. "Besides, I don't deny that I want to always be close to you. It's just…well, I know it's stupid. But, I have this awful gut feeling that I'm going to wake up one day, and you'll be gone. And I know we're still new at this, but I don't want to lose you, Kurt. Ever."
Kurt ran his hand through Blaine's curls before taking the boy's face in his hands. "It's not stupid, Blaine. But you don't have to worry. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here, for as long as you want me." And Kurt hugged the boy tightly before kissing him. Blaine smiled into the kiss. He loved it when Kurt initiated their kisses; it reassured him that he wasn't the only one who felt the way he did.
"So, are we ready?" Kurt asked, holding his arm out to Blaine.
Blaine nodded. "But, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to go have a word with Finn first. Is that okay?"
"Of course! You don't have to ask for something like that." Kurt replied, giving Blaine another quick kiss. "I'll be in the car."
"Ok." And Blaine went upstairs to find his friend. He knocked on Finn's door.
"Yeah?" a voice came from the other side, and Blaine let himself in.
"Hey, man. Just letting you know, Kurt and I are going for coffee."
Finn looked indifferent and kept his attention on his television.
Blaine spoke up again. "But…when we get back, I was thinking we could have a rematch of that game?"
At that, Finn perked up, looking surprised. "Yeah!" he said, enthusiastically.
"Cool. See ya later."
Kurt sat in his Navigator, blasting Lady Gaga and waiting for Blaine to come out. He knew he was going to have to let Blaine spend equal time with Finn, which was completely fair. Blaine was, after all, Finn's friend before he was Kurt's boyfriend. But Blaine was finally his, and, as selfish as it sounded, he didn't want to share.
Just then, the passenger side door opened and Blaine slipped in. "Ready?" he asked.
"Just a minute." Kurt answered, leaning over and kissing him hard.
When Kurt pulled back, Blaine was baffled. "What was that for?"
Kurt just smiled. "For you being you."
Blaine blushed slightly as Kurt backed out of the driveway and drove in the direction of the little coffee shop. He kept one hand on the steering wheel, while his other hand was clasped with Blaine's.
"Pull around back so she doesn't see us together." Blaine instructed. Kurt nodded and did so.
When he parked, he turned to Blaine. "You'll be okay out here for a few minutes? Remember, I'll send you text when it's time."
Blaine laughed. "Kurt, I remember the plan. Go!"
Kurt started to get out of the car, but before he was half-way out, he pulled himself back in and placed a kiss on Blaine's lips. Before his boyfriend could scold him for making himself late, Kurt slammed the car door shut and walked around to the front of the Lima Bean.
Kurt spotted Santana as soon as he walked in, her vanilla latte already in her hand. He ordered his mocha and sat down across from her. "Hey there."
She put on her 'bitch, please…' look and spoke. "Well? Spill it, Hummel. Are you and Curly-Sue an item now or not?"
Kurt hid his smile carefully. "You really don't want to ask me how I'm doing before you start digging through my personal life."
She smirked. "So you're saying there is something 'personal' in your life?" She asked, still pressing the subject, just as Kurt thought she would. But he delayed her as best he could.
"I never said that, Sweetie." He said innocently. "But I am making quite a few new friends at Dalton, if you count that as 'personal'. Those guys are so nice to me."
She narrowed her eyes at him, and Kurt decided that now was the best time to put the plan in action. He excused himself from the table, and went to the restroom to send Blaine a quick text.
It's time. But watch out, she's in bitch mode today!
He got a reply seconds later.
On my way. Thanks for the warning; I'll be super nice ;)
Kurt grinned and went back to the table. Santana looked at him. "Don't play stupid with me, Kurt. I know Blaine was coming to see you last night. I'm your best friend! I wanna know everything that happened!"
Kurt sighed, still trying to keep a straight face. "San, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Blaine never-"
"Kurt! Santana! Fancy seeing you guys here." Blaine had come up behind Kurt, right on cue. Kurt acted surprised.
"Blaine! I see you had the same idea we had." He said, holding up his coffee cup.
"Yeah, can't function with caffeine."
"Well, why don't you pull up a chair and join us? You don't mind, do you?" He asked Santana, who was staring at them both incredulously. "Not at all." She replied, no emotion in her voice.
So Blaine placed a chair between the two of them and sat down.
"So Blaine, how have you been since yesterday? By the way, I am so sorry for running out on you like that, I just-"
Blaine held up a hand. "Kurt, it's fine. I understand completely." He said, smiling at Kurt.
Kurt spoke again, his attention directed at Santana this time. "You're being awfully quiet." She stared at them for another minute, and then smiled a little too nicely. "Sorry about that. So, Blaine, that was some thunderstorm last night wasn't it?"
Blaine coughed. "Yeah, it sure was. I was soaked by the time I got home." He lied.
Her smile suddenly grew a little bigger and she nodded. "Do you mind me asking, do you happen to own a washer and dryer machine at home, Blaine?"
He looked at her, confused, not knowing where she was taking this conversation. "Uh…of course I do. Why?"
She smiled sweetly. "Oh no reason in particular. I was just thinking that either you don't like using them, or you didn't feel the need to wear something different than yesterday's clothes."
Blaine and Kurt both looked down at Blaine's clothes, and saw that he was indeed wearing the same clothes he wore to Breadstix last night. The thought hadn't even occurred to them that she might recognize his clothes, and now both of them were mentally slapping themselves.
"Shit." Blaine muttered.
"Ha! I knew it!" Santana burst out, alarming everyone nearby them. Kurt and Blaine groaned.
"So," she started, lowering her voice. "Care to tell me what really happened last night?" She lowered her evil eyes at both blushing boys.
Blaine looked at Kurt, and shrugged. Kurt nodded, understanding his silent language and smiled at her. "Well…" he began, before leaning in to place a small kiss on the corner of Blaine's mouth. He pulled away quickly, not wanting to endure any homophobic comments from any of the other customers.
"Oh shit! I so knew it! So, did you get any action last night, Porcelain?"
Kurt gaped at her. "San! We've been together one day! I'm not you, remember?"
She smirked smugly. "Yes, I know goody two-shoes. But I want to know when it happens, got it?"
Kurt could tell that Blaine was getting very embarrassed, so he quickly nodded at Santana, making sure Blaine didn't see, before continuing the conversation. "We want to thank you, Santana. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be as happy as I am now, and we would both still be wallowing in our own self-doubt. So thanks, for everything you did."
Blaine smiled at the girl, nodding his agreement.
"Aww, I'd do anything for my two favorite gays." They all laughed. After finishing their coffee and conversation, they walked out of the shop. Kurt handed Blaine his keys.
"I'll be there in a minute." He told his boyfriend.
"Sure." Blaine kissed Kurt lightly before heading around back, leaving Kurt with Santana.
"Well, you definitely got me back for last night at Breadstix. I'll admit I was fooled for a few minutes."
Kurt grinned before turning serious. "I really like him, San. He's everything I've been looking for for so long…"
"I know, Sweetie. And while I'm glad you and hobbit are finally together after all that built up sexual tension and endless flirting, I still expect my Kurt time. I wanna know what's going on in my baby's life." She said, pinching his cheek.
"Thanks, hon. Your support, it means a lot." She hugged him for a minute before walking toward her car.
He watched her turn around and yell back at him. "And next time, I'm gonna want details, Hummel. Details!"
Kurt blushed and rolled his eyes, knowing that she wouldn't stop her pestering until he told her every spare detail about his personal life. But, she was his best friend, and he wouldn't want it any other way.
