Tonight is my goodbye 'dinner' with my family. We don't like putting on dinner for everybody so we make them eat first and then do dessert. So tonight, we're having pavlova, lemon meringue pie, one and a half chocolate cakes, fudge, brownies, lollie cake, fruit salad and ice cream. Understandably, I didn't bother with dinner beforehand. If I don't post tomorrow, I died of sugar overload.

This chapter is a little off. Neither Angela or I can work out what's wrong with it, it just is. Sorry guys. Try to enjoy it anyway, okay?

From Jg Rox: You know that coffee shop Kurt and Blaine are always going to? I think one of those cliched scenes where all the regulars have been just waiting for Klaine to get together and then they do and everyone applauds or something (man, this sounds cheesy) would be adorable. You're welcome make it slightly less cliched than that.

Aw, come on! Cheesy is gorgeous and completely necessary sometimes! And I had an idea.. and I'm sorry but I had to do it.

Petition

"Excuse me, boys?"

Kurt looked up from where he and Blaine had been talking together softly. "Yes?"

A tall brunette girl stood before them, holding a clipboard and looking slightly nervous. Kurt vaguely recognized her as one of the baristas and presumed it was her day off. "Um, this is from all of us here." She waved an arm around the coffee shop and Kurt blinked as he realized most of the patrons were staring in their direction.

"What is it?" Blaine reached out a hand for the clipboard.

"Just read it and you'll find out." The girl smiled at them again then moved back to her table. Kurt watched Blaine read, his eyes growing wider at every sentence.

"Blaine, what is it?" Blaine held up a hand, finishing off the last few lines and Kurt was shocked to see a blush spread across his face.

"Um. Yeah, here. You'd better read it too."

Kurt took the clipboard from his now bright-red friend and began to read.

Dear Kurt and Blaine,

First, the fact that the staff know your names means that you come here too often, and, as such, we feel we know you enough to make this judgement, along with the rest of the regular patrons.

We have watched the two of you sit at the same table every day and interact with one another. We know you are both homosexual -

Kurt felt his blood run cold at this. Are they kicking us out?

but are not currently in a relationship with each other. Our question is: why not?

What?

Therefore, we the patrons and staff of the Lima Bean, wish to formally acknowledge our request that you both get your acts into gear and admit your feelings for each other.

Signed,

Below this was a long list of signatures of staff and other regular customers. Kurt's jaw dropped as he took in the sheer number of people who actually wanted him and Blaine to get together. People who didn't let the fact that they were both male distract them. Kurt felt the emotion well up at the understanding shown by a group of complete strangers that refused to conform to the homosexuality of the rest of the world.

But of course it wasn't going to happen. As much as people could assume things, Kurt knew Blaine didn't see him as any more than a friend. Speaking of Blaine -

Kurt raised his eyes to look at his friend who was biting his lip. "What do you make of this?" he whispered, aware that everybody was still paying far too much attention to them.

Blaine swallowed. "I - I think they're pretty smart people."

Wait, what?

"So, it's true? You do like me?"

Blaine chuckled. "Kurt, of course."

Kurt stared at him for a few seconds more, then grabbed his collar and pulled him across the table into a kiss.

Blaine froze for a second, long enough for Kurt to start doubting himself - did I move too fast? didn't he want... And then Blaine was responding, pressing his lips against Kurt's eagerly. Kurt felt himself nearing the edge, about to drop into oblivion and nothing but the feeling of Blaine kissing him -

And then someone started to clap.

Kurt pulled away - suppressing a shiver when he heard Blaine moan slightly - and turned to see the occupants of the restaurant staring at them. The barista had been the first to start the applause, but it grew as the patrons got to their feet and applauded.

"You're kidding me." Kurt ducked his head, feeling the blush spread across his face. Blaine chuckled, grabbing his hand and rubbing a thumb over it soothingly.

"Face it, we're never going to have a normal relationship." Blaine rolled his eyes but couldn't hide the smile on his face. "We'd better get used to it."

And somehow, Kurt was okay with that.

Win for shortest? I think so. Again, apologies for it being a little off.
