As Blaine fell asleep, Kurt knew that something was on the boy's mind, but he decided to not to worry about it until he got back. Nathan was waiting for him outside, standing next to his car.
"Hey! Sorry I took long, I was just making sure that Blaine was feeling better." Kurt got in the car as Nathan rushed into the drivers seat.
"Oh, you should have told me! I would have given you time, or helped you with Blaine. Is he feeling better at least?" Nathan asked as he turned on the car.
"Yeah, he just fell asleep. So, anyways, where are we going to eat?" Kurt got comfortable in his seat and turned to face Nathan.
"Well, it was sort of a surprise, but there's nothing really special about it. We're going to my mom's restaurant. I figured, why not? And maybe you could meet her!" Nathan smiled.
"Meet her? Your mom?" Kurt bit his lip.
"Yeah why, are you-are you nervous, or something?" Nathan tried to focus on the road in front of him.
"Well yeah, she's your mom. I mean, first impressions are everything, right?" Kurt blushed a little as Nathan took his hand.
"Hey, she's going to love you." He squeezed Kurt's hand before letting it go. They drove into the parking lot, and Nathan rushed to open the door to the restaurant to let Kurt in first. As they waited to be seated, Kurt saw a woman walking their way. She had brown eyes and beautiful curly hair. Kurt's eyes widened as she moved towards them.
"Hey honey, how are you?" She kissed Nathan's cheek.
"Mom, this is my friend Kurt. Kurt, this is my mother-"
"Alice." Kurt shook her hand as she smiled warmly at him.
"Kurt, it's so nice to finally meet you! Nathan as told me so much about you."
Kurt looked up at him. Nathan cleared his throat.
"Yes, well, anyways, we would like a table for two, please," Nathan smiled nervously at his mom.
"Of course!" Kurt walked behind them as she led them to their table, and handed them their menus.
"I'll send a waiter over to get your drink orders." She pet Nathan's hair, giving Kurt a smile before leaving.
"So, what do you feel like eating today?" Nathan glanced at Kurt over his menu as he saw a waitress approach their table.
"May I take your drink orders?" The waitress took out a pen and a small note pad, waiting for their answers.
"Yes, I would like a…coke, please." Nathan looked at Kurt to see his answer.
"Water for me please-" Nathan raised an eyebrow as the waitress wrote Kurt's order down.
"Water? Are you sure you don't want anything else? Just make that two cokes." The waitress nodded. "Thanks"
"Are you gentlemen ready to order or would you like me to bring your drinks first? Nathan looked at Kurt for an answer, but Kurt was still looking perplexedly at his menu.
"We'll just take two plates of spaghetti." They handed their menus to the waitress as she walked away, coming back soon with their drinks.
"I hope my order was okay with you."
"No, yes absolutely. Spaghetti sounds great right now." Kurt smiled at Nathan and he saw Nathan turn pink.
"After this we should go get some frozen yogurt for dessert-unless you want to get to Blaine to see if he is getting better." Nathan bit his lip wondering what was going on in Kurt's mind.
"We could get frozen yogurt, then check up on Blaine later," Kurt smiled. Nathan got comfortable in his seat a waitress put their plates in front of them.
"Enjoy!" The waitress walked away.
"Thanks again for inviting me to lunch. I needed to get out of Dalton." Kurt smiled in gratitude as he picked up his fork.
"Oh, no problem. Besides, I hear you're having some trouble in your classes. Maybe we could meet privately and I could tutor you?" Nathan suggested as he began eating. They sat there in silence for a while eating, beginning to talk after a few minutes about school, friends, or their pasts. Nathan had lost track of time when his mom moved toward them.
"Nathan shouldn't you be headed back to Dalton? You know I don't like it when you drive in the dark." Both boys looked a bit shocked at how the time had flown by.
"Well I guess we should skip the frozen yogurt and get going." Nathan stood up touching his stomach to say he was full.
"Thank you again for lunch! It was delicious Mrs.-" "James" He took her hand.
"I can't believe I never told you my last name!" Nathan chuckled, embarrassed and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks mom. I'll call you when I get back to Dalton." Nathan showed Kurt to the door while giving his mom a wave.
"So did you enjoy dinner?" Nathan smiled at Kurt.
"Yes, thank you." Kurt bit his lip. "I just feel a little guilty for leaving Blaine, I should have been taking care of him." Nathan took Kurt's hand once again.
"Hey, he's fine! Besides, you said he was falling asleep when you left. Either way, if he needed you while you were gone just blame it on me, it's my fault for keeping you late." Nathan chuckled as he saw Kurt smile.
"Ready to go?" Kurt nodded in reply. Nathan drove carefully out of the parking lot as they went back to Dalton. They started talking again and Kurt realize how much he missed his friends. He hadn't had a good, long conversation like this since he ran into Rachel and Finn at the mall. Kurt felt his pocket vibrate with a text from Blaine.
"I love you" Kurt smiled at the message but he didn't respond, since they were driving into the Dalton parking lot.
"We're here already?" Kurt looked surprised.
"Yes, time flies when we're together" Nathan laughed as he got out of his car to help Kurt out.
"You can go to your room, you don't need to walk me to my room" Kurt made a little skip in his walk as he saw his door near.
"Well we are almost there, but alright-" Nathan just looked into Kurt eyes, moving one step closer to him.
"Thank you for lunch again. Your mom is really nice." Kurt didn't seem to notice how small the distance between them was.
Blaine walked out of the bathroom after his shower, still sleepy. He froze, hearing voices coming from the hallway. Blaine slowly opened the door and peeked through the crack, seeing Kurt and Nathan standing so close together and talking. Blaine bit his lip, not knowing what to do. He trusted Kurt, but still felt a surge of jealousy, and didn't know what to do.
"Well, I should go see how Blaine is doing." Kurt said, laying his hand on Nathan's shoulder.
"Take care." Blaine sighed, not knowing why he'd been so worried, until he saw Nathan lean in and kiss Kurt's cheek. Blaine's eyes opened wide and he covered his mouth to quiet his gasp. He closed the door and ran back to his bed.
Kurt blushed, surprised by Nathan's action.
"Goodnight Nathan." Kurt smiled as he slowly walked back to his room, opening the door to see Blaine lying in the bed, asleep. Kurt sighed; he was hoping that he would be awake. He decided to take a shower then head off to bed, so he grabbed his pajamas and headed to the bathroom. Blaine opened his eyes, seeing that it was safe to get up, he lay on his back, not knowing how to react the next day, as his eyes got heavier, he whispered to himself, "I can't lose you, Kurt."
