Prompted by musicispoetrywithpersonality, YourEyesLikeStars and Windsorgirl14 - Klaine/Niff double date!

I hope I managed to do this one justice, seeing as it was a relatively popular idea!

And thanks to everyone who's reviewed, read and/or prompted, you're amazing!

If people thought Niff was cute and adorable (Jeff and Nick had gotten used to the Warblers calling them Niff – apparently Kurt had started it when he'd told them New Directions gave each other couple names)), then the newly named Klaine was twice as sweet and tooth-decay inducing. Of course, Kurt and Blaine had no idea that the Warblers had given them their own couple name behind their back, but everyone knew there was something between them. Best friends didn't go on coffee not-dates with each other, watch movies until three in the morning or do any of the adorably gooey stuff that Klaine did (and their main point of proof was of course, Nick and Jeff). So it was decided in a secret Warbler meeting that Kurt and Blaine were most certainly not a part of that someone had to do something about the amount of sugary-sweet romance between the two and it had to get serious. They had to stop skirting around each other or the general consensus was that the Warblers were going to go insane. After much deliberation, the job was put to Niff. After all, they had experience with this kind of thing, didn't they? They were all pretty sure the Niff method of casual mentioning of a not-relationship wouldn't work – they'd already tried it. So Nick and Jeff were faced with a dilemma.

How do you get two incredibly oblivious people to realise they liked each other?

"So you'll do it?" Nick asked, grinning.

"Of course, darling," the voice on the other end laughed "I'm more than happy to help. Though if they're anything like you they'll take forever to figure it out."

"That's why we're doing this," Nick replied "Hopefully it'll kick start something…"

"Good luck! I'll see you tonight then?"

"If all goes well. Thank you so much, I really appreciate this."

"Anything for you, Nick. Talk to you later!"

Nick hung up the phone just as Kurt walked into the common room. Nick quickly slipped his phone back into his pocket and pretending to be working on his Maths homework. He glanced up again as Kurt sat down beside him, rummaging for his own study work to be doing, and smiled.

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you."

Kurt flicked a glance at him curiously, "Yes?"

Nick flipped his pen around his fingers as he spoke, hoping that this was going to work, "A couple of us are going out for dinner tonight – just some of the Warblers. Did you want to come?"

The other boy raised an eyebrow, "Who?"

"Oh, me, Jeff, Trent, Thad. Maybe Blaine, if we can get him to come."

Kurt smiled as Blaine's name was mentioned (could they get any more obvious?) and nodded, "I'd love to come."

"Cool. It's nothing fancy, but we'll meet at the gates around six?"

"Sure."

And with that, phase one was half-complete. Now it was up to Jeff to finish it off.

"Blaine!"

The Warbler turned as Jeff chased after him down the hall, raising an eyebrow at the blonde.

"What's up?"

Jeff smirked, skidding to a stop beside his friend and hoping to any and all gods that this was going to work. It had to. If it didn't, the whole plan was ruined and they'd have to think of some other way to get the two together. Maybe we should just lock them in a cupboard…

"Some of the Warblers are gonna grab something to eat tonight. Wanna come?"

"Who's going?" Blaine asked, though he sounded interested already. One point in favour.

Jeff smiled, "Just me, Nick, Trent, Thad. And hopefully Kurt."

At the mere mention of Blaine's not-boyfriend, the curly-haired Warbler smiled like an idiot. Jeff resisted the urge to snicker or in any way make a sound that could potentially scare Blaine off the idea.

"I'll come."

"Great. Gates at six?"

"I'll meet you there."

And so phase one was finally complete.

Now on to phase two.

"This had so better work," Nick said, glancing in the direction Blaine and Kurt should have been coming from. It was already five past six and they still hadn't turned up.

"It'll work," Jeff said confidently "You got Jen to help?"

"Yeah, she's in."

Just then they caught sight of two casually, dressed students making their way towards them. Jeff and Nick released a sigh as Blaine and Kurt jogged down the path looking apologetic.

"Sorry," Blaine said "Kurt was getting changed."

There was no need for any extra explanation. They all knew how long Kurt could take to get dressed, considering how fashion-conscious he was. Nick had to admit he looked pretty good in black skinny jeans, calf-length lace-up boots, a plain white shirt with black jacket and a white scarf. When Jeff poked him in the side surreptitiously, Nick looked away – the blonde was always having jealousy issues, even when the person he was jealous of was utterly and completely in love with someone else.

"Where's Trent and Thad?" Blaine asked, curiously glancing around as he realised the other two Warblers were missing.

"Oh, Thad realised he had an assignment due tomorrow," Jeff said smoothly, his acting ability coming into play "He couldn't make it. And Trent's girlfriend called him. Apparently he forgot something or whatever, but he's probably going to spend the next three hours on the phone to her. He cancelled."

"So it's just us then," Kurt said, and Nick had to stifle a grin because that is exactly what it is and he doesn't even realise he's being played.

"Yeah. Come on, let's go. You can follow us," Jeff said and grabbed Nick's hand, pulling him towards the boy's car. Kurt and Blaine headed to the curly-haired Warbler's car and the other boys sneaked a grin when they weren't looking. Everything was working perfectly so far. As long as Jen could hold up her end, this was going to be the best plan they'd ever come up with. Not only did they get a date out of it, but they were setting up their totally oblivious friends too.

"It's like a double date," Nick smirked once the doors were closed and the engine started.

Jeff laughed, "Niff and Klaine. Double dating."

It only took them a few minutes to drive to their place of choice. It wasn't anything fancy, chosen more for the fact that Jen worked there and would be able to help implement the final phase of their plan.

Getting Blaine and Kurt alone together.

The four walked in, waiting in the line to be seated. Blaine and Kurt chatted in the background much to the amusement of the other two boys. Admittedly this was what they always did around each other, but by the end of the night Nick and Jeff hoped there would be something more. Said Warblers simply held hands and waited for the line to move up. They knew they would be okay – the place was owned by Jen's family and they all loved the pair to death. Finally they reached the front and Nick had to force himself not to smile as he saw Jen.

"Hello there," Jen smiled, feigning ignorance of her friend's presence rather well in his opinion.

"Hi," Jeff returned the smile "Table for four?"

"Just let me check."

It took all their will not to grin or start laughing as Jen walked off. They both knew what her answer was going to be and it was killing them having to pretend that this was just any other night and they weren't secretly setting their friends up. Finally Jen returned with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, we haven't got any free," she said "But we have two tables for two, if that's okay."

Nick resisted the urge to say 'perfect', instead replying with, "It'll be fine."

Jen led them to the tables, Blaine and Kurt still oblivious to what was going on around them as they continued chatting about something or another – Nick and Jeff had learned to tune out a long time ago. Nick couldn't help his smile now as Jen gestured to their tables – close, but far enough apart for a little privacy. Perfect. He would have to remember to thank her later for her help. Whether it worked or not, she'd been instrumental in their plan and without her, they would have had to think up something else that would have been nowhere near as good as this plan.

Nick slid into one of the chairs as Jeff explained to a confused Klaine what was going on, seeing as they'd been too busy talking to hear Jen earlier. In the end they shrugged, not really minding at all (point in favour, Nick thought with glee). Jeff took a seat opposite Nick and smiled.

"It's working," he whispered, though they doubted it would have mattered if they'd been shouting – Kurt and Blaine were once again deep in discussion.

"I told you it would."

Just then a waitress came to their tables, asking if they'd chosen. Having been to the restaurant a number of times with Jen, Nick and Jeff knew exactly what they would have, while Blaine and Kurt scrambled to find something they wanted.

The sneaky boys grinned. Everything was working perfectly.

Blaine and Kurt seemed to forget that the others were even there, ignoring Nick and Jeff entirely as they all ate. Not that the two schemers minded too much at all – their plan was working and they got a little time to themselves. In fact, by the end of the night they'd decided that they had to do this again – without Kurt and Blaine, of course. It was a little disconcerting that their friends were nearby but they were so absorbed in each other that they probably wouldn't have noticed a plane crashing into the place. Finally, Nick checked the time. They had twenty minutes to get back to Dalton before curfew.

"We should go," he said, pushing his empty plate away.

Jeff agreed with a sigh, "Yeah. Should we tell them?"

His sentence was punctuated with a jerk of the thumb in Klaine's direction. Nick smiled, "I suppose. We don't really want to get them in trouble on their first date now, do we?"

Jeff chuckled, "I suppose not. Come on then."

They stood up and moved to collect their oblivious friends.

"Time to go, guys," Jeff said "We've got twenty minutes to get back."

The two boys stared at Nick and Jeff like they'd just materialised out of thin air. Then Blaine's face dropped in guilt, "We totally forgot you guys were there, now I just feel horrible..."

"Don't worry about it," Nick smirked "We were looking for some time alone anyway. But we seriously have to go."

The four made their way to pay the bill and Jeff and Nick couldn't stop smiling when Blaine insisted on paying for Kurt's meal. No matter how much Kurt protested, Blaine refused to let him pay.

"They're so adorable," Nick whispered to his boyfriend.

"Tell me about it. I'm getting cavities. Just get it together already."

The pair laughed as they followed Blaine and Kurt out to the car park. Kurt glanced over his shoulder at them, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Jeff replied with a smile.

Kurt just shook his head and let it slide, walking back towards Blaine's car. No one missed the instant that Blaine's hand just slipped into Kurt's and the other didn't even seem to mind whatsoever. Nick and Jeff had to fight the urge to do a victory dance - because finally, there was progress! They'd done it! – and instead got into Nick's car, waiting until the others had pulled out before gloating over their victory.

"We did it!"

"They're totally together!"

"I mean, it is just holding hands," Nick said reasonably but with a large grin "But it's something, right?"

"Hell yeah it's something!" Jeff laughed "It's just a matter of time now. And I'm guessing pretty soon."

Neither could stop laughing all the way back to Dalton, and it took them a moment after parking to calm themselves down enough so as not to give the game away to Blaine and Kurt. They spotted the pair at the gates a little way off, chatting casually with each other. Nick and Jeff leaned forward in their seats, watching eagerly as the pair shifted a little closer, moving towards each other…

And then they hugged. With a disappointed sigh, Nick and Jeff watched as the pair hugged briefly before walking back towards Dalton and inevitably their dorm.

"Dammit."

"Almost. We were so close."

"But they have to get together soon, right?" Jeff asked.

Nick sighed, "If they don't, we're going to have to lock them away somewhere until it happens."

Three days later and still nothing had happened, beside the fact that Blaine and Kurt were even more sickening and cute. The Warblers were not happy in the slightest.

But they all knew it would happen one day.

They just hoped it was soon.
