After being dropped off outside the building Blaine tells Kurt to return around 6 which will give him a few hours to prepare everything for the date. Kurt gives him a short kiss before he gets out of the car and promises to be back in time and that Blaine finally will get to see Kurt dressed up as himself.
"I look forward to it." He replies with a warm smile and then looks after the car as the other man drives off. As he walks up the stairs he decides to take that shower and fix himself to at least normal state before he goes to Jan and Liz to pick up Perrie.
When he enters the apartment he can't help thinking about how incredibly much has changed since he left two days earlier. He has been shot, met the Phantom and most importantly at all gotten a boyfriend. He can't hold back a wide smile at the last thought and then looks around the apartment. Luckily enough he did quite proper cleaning just a couple of days before he met Kurt so all he has to do now is put everything where it should be since he has a habit of placing everything where he uses it which gives one kind of order even though he has to admit that it does look quite messy.
Shower, Perrie, clean and then get ready for the date he adds on this mental to-do list. To be honest he is a little worried since he hasn't seen the wound so he doesn't know what to expect when he starts to get ready for the shower. With a deep breath he removes the bandage and then slowly opens his eyes to look in the mirror. The sight that meets him isn't as bad as he feared it would be.
Sure, it looks a bit odd with such a round wound and that there is one on the opposite side of the arm as well but it's well cleaned and the skin around it doesn't look irritated, at least not compared to other wounds he has seen. This is a bigger relief than he expected because even if Kurt told him that it wasn't infected he had no idea how it would look.
Still thinking how lucky he is that Kurt is so good at taking care of this kind of things he steps into the shower and turns on the water. As the hot water makes his muscles relax his thoughts go in a totally other direction. His thoughts go to Kurt. The beautiful man with the soft lips. After getting Kurt's lips on his mind it's practically impossible to not thinking about doing more than kissing the blue eyed man and when he flashback comes there is nothing he can do to stop it.
The man looks at him and his blue eyes are filled with desire. Blaine leans back from where he was sitting on the bed and a moan escapes his lips when he feels the other man stroke his legs. Now it's his turn to start begging because damn, those hands touching him makes it feel like he's on fire and he can't wait for the other man to make him feel even better.
When his mind returns to the reality he is breathing heavily and without knowing when it happened he's hard and has started to stroke himself. It doesn't take long before he leans against the wall of the shower and moans Kurt's name. As he comes down from his height he turns a dark shade of red from just thinking about what he just did.
"You must be completely insane, Anderson." He mutters and finishes the shower quickly. Once he has put on pants and a long sleeved button up shirt he spend a bit more time than usually gelling his hair since he can't use his left arm properly. When he considers himself looking as much as usually as possible he goes to pick up Perrie.
"Oh, hi Blaine!" Liz says when she opens the door and Perrie comes running to see who came.
"Hi Liz, turns out that you don't have to keep her for another night. I'm sorry to disappoint you." He replies with a smile and then bends down to say hello to the furry dog who just reached them.
"Don't apologize Blaine, it's our pleasure to have her whenever you need someone to babysit this little cutie." She says and smiles towards him.
"It's very kind of you however, it makes my life a whole lot easier to not have to worry about my little girl when I have to work extra." Blaine replies and Liz looks a little concerned.
"Is everything good with you Blaine? You look pale."
"It's been some rough days so I probably just need some rest." He says and tries to avoid more questions because he hasn't figured out how to explain everything that has happened.
"If you would like you can join us for Friday dinner tomorrow? We see way too little of you these days." She says and smiles warmly at Blaine.
"That sounds lovely, just tell me when and I'll be there." He replies thankfully because he has always enjoyed having company by the couple.
"Jan isn't home right now so I can come over tomorrow and tell you when dinner will be, sounds good?"
"It sounds lovely. Thank you Liz." Blaine says and smiles warmly at the woman in front of him.
"No problem, now go home and promise me that you'll get some rest. Otherwise I may have to force you to live here until Jan and I think you seem to take proper care of yourself." She replies with a smile in return but still shows that he's concerned about the young man who her wife and herself has come to see almost as a son since he moved in next door when he got to the city.
"I promise. Come on, Perrie. Let's go home, I promise that I'll let them spoil you soon again." Blaine says and the black dog follows him with her tail wagging.
Once Kurt had dropped Blaine off he didn't really know how to entertain himself for a couple of hours. Without any particular reason he ends up driving towards Manhattan. Since it's usually hopeless to drive anywhere near the city center he decides to leave the car and take the subway to save some time. On his way he thinks about what he will do when he arrives.
It doesn't take long as soon as he figures that he doesn't know what to wear for the night so he makes a mental list of a few basic ideas since money is no problem he can just as well buy something new for this important event. His first date with the guy who he is falling head over heels for and he has an unlimited budget to buy clothes for.
Just imagining how he would have reacted if anyone would have told him that while he was still in high school makes him smile. Teenage Kurt would most likely have either have not believed it for a single second of started screaming from excitement with a voice which would be very high even for him. He really wish there was a way that he could tell his younger self that things really would get better, so incredibly much better. Especially tonight.
The thought of the upcoming night brought him back to the presence so he could start to plan what he would be wearing. He didn't want it to be too much because after all they would just be in Blaine's apartment but he still wanted to look a bit dressed up since it would be their first date after all. As he leaves the subway he has a plan for more or less what he is looking for even though it was quite likely that this plan would be changed depending on what he found in the stores.
Kurt turns out to be right because as soon as he enters the first store he spots a button down shirt with a pattern that most people never would consider to even try to wear but he isn't most people. He is Kurt Hummel, the most fashionable criminal in the country and there is no way he will be backing down from this challenge. In his mind he's already putting together an outfit that will give this misunderstood shirt a chance to shine.
He will need a black vest and some black pants to start with because anything else would make the outfit be just too much. After about an hour he has found all the clothes he needs and is just looking for a brooch to make the outfit complete. Since the details are what it all comes down to he has to find the perfect one. The task isn't easy but there is no way he will go home without it.
He is so determined to find what he's looking for that he almost passes the store that seems to be dedicated to ties and bowties. Luckily enough something catches his eye and he stops to see what it was. It's a bowtie in almost exact the same shade of blue as his eyes. Just the kind of bowtie he now remembers that he promised to get Blaine for being so helpful when getting him into the apartment.
As a wide smile appears on his lips he enters the store to buy it even if the chances of Blaine remembering the event are limited. When he leaves the store he takes his phone from his pocket to send his date for the night a text about the gift but just as he's about to start typing he remembers that he is the only one in the conversation who knows who the other one is. He gets an idea for how to make his entrance to Blaine's apartment much more fun so instead of texting about the gift he decides to make it a bit more fun.
"Having a better day today?" He asks because he actually is curious what Blaine will reply. He's quite sure that today will be considered better but the question is just how much better and how he will explain it.
Just a moment after closing the door to his apartment where he now has Perrie as company his phone vibrates and he takes it up. The name on the screen makes him smile and he quickly unlocks the phone to reply to the message.
"Today is very much better, thank you. Honestly calling it amazing would be an understatement" he quickly types and his smile just keeps growing when he thinks about how great the day has actually been. He finally accepted his feelings and found out that Kurt felt the same way about him.
To make it even better the other man is coming over to his apartment in just a couple of hours for their first real date so they truly can start to get to know each other because to be honest he doesn't know more about Kurt than his name and what he does for a living but of some reason he has been falling for the blue eyed man ever since their first conversation that night almost two weeks ago, it just took him some time to realize it and accept what he was feeling. A text from Blackbird pulls him out of his thoughts and back to reality.
"I'm glad to hear but now you made me curious. What has happened to make your day that incredible?"
"I have a date tonight with someone who I finally dared to accept my feelings for" He replies and now the smile on his lips possibly couldn't grow any wider.
