I own nothing.


Kurt stopped in his movement when he saw David standing outside of the coffee shop. He took a deep breath, and with his eyebrows scrunched, he walked over to his friend. "David?"

David snapped his head toward Kurt, "Hey!" Kurt licked his lips in awkwardness. "Oh, no! I'm not your date." An excited smile came across his face.

Kurt scrunched up eyebrows rose, "You know Eli?"

"Oh yeah," David said, "Your date is a really good friend of mine."

"Does that mean you'll tell me who it is?" Kurt said, hopeful.

A laugh came from David, "Sorry, dude. No can do. Eli would murder me if I told you." David started to walk away. When he noticed that Kurt wasn't following suit, he turned his head, "Come on."

Kurt shook his head at his friend, "I'm suppose to meet him here."

David sighed, "Change of plans. Now I have to speed, let's go!" David went back and grabbed Kurt's wrist. Kurt pulled out of his grip when he started to pull him down the sidewalk.

David and Kurt ended up at the first man's car. The two got in and Kurt started to feel awkward. "Where are we going, David?"

A kind smile came from David, "Don't worry. We're just going somewhere more appropriate. By the way, you look nice."

Kurt took a look at himself; he had tight pure black jeans on and nice button-up blue shirt that hugged his upper body nicely. Kurt looked back at David, "Thank you?"

David flashed a smile and nodded his head.

Blaine took the car keys that was on his desk and ran down the stairs. "Bye!" he shouted to anyone. He made his way out the front door and stopped suddenly when he noticed his car was missing; all cars were gone, in fact. He looked down at the keys and noticed that they weren't his; they were Danielle's.

"Eli! Dani?" Blaine had run back in the house.

Danielle popped her head out from the kitchen, "Yes?"

"What are you doing home?" Blaine was concerned.

Danielle let the corners of her mouth turn up, "I heard from a certain Eli that you had a date." She winked.

Blaine's eyes narrowed, "Where's my car? And my keys?"

Danielle smiled with innocence, "Had to hide them." She slipped back into the kitchen. Blaine strutted towards the door when Eli popped out.

Eli shook his head, "Sorry, brother. You can't go in there." Eli matched his sister's smile.

"And why not?" Blaine crossed his arms over his chest.

Eli smiled with pride, "We're cooking." Blaine's eyes widened. Eli's smile altered, "Okay, Danielle is cooking, I'm observing."

Blaine shut his eyes, "Eli, I'm going to be late for my blind date – which you set me up on – if I don't get my car… now."

"Ah, so that's what crawled up your ass." Eli turned around and headed towards the kitchen, "Just go to the dining room and sit down."

"What?" Blaine's voice was cold to Eli's ears.

Eli turned around, "Go to the dining room. And sit down. He will be here shortly." Eli said in a firm voice.

"You told him where I live?" Blaine's heart started to race in his chest. "I don't even know him!"

"I'm not that stupid. David picked him up. Now, go!" Eli pointed to the room.

"He knows David?" Blaine asked, curious.

Eli groaned, "The answer is not important. And Blaine, don't you dare try to call him. He's driving and you know for a fact he won't answer."

Blaine gave Eli a playful dirty look and turned his way to the dining room. He smirked and pulled out his phone. David Bradley flashed at him and he called the number.

XxX

Kurt looked over at David's ringing phone that was in his lap, the front facing his leg. "Aren't you going to answer that?"

David shook his head, "He's thinking you'll answer."

"Who?"

"Your date." David smiled. "We know him too well."

"What if it's someone else?" Kurt thought.

David shook his head, "I set his ringtone different than everyone else. I know when he's calling and when others are."

Kurt bit his lip, "This is getting annoying and we've been driving for ten minutes. When are we going to be there?"

"Just a few more blocks, Kurt. Calm your shit." David said smoothly. Kurt's lips disappeared in a thin line.

XxX

"Damn," Blaine clicked the end button on his phone when the call went to voicemail. Blaine placed his phone, as well as Danielle's keys, in his pocket and walked into the dining room.

Blaine's jaw dropped open to find that the huge, long table was nowhere to seen. But, instead, a round table was placed in the middle of the room with two chairs on opposite sides. Around the table, there were tiny ones that were placed with flowers.

Blaine shut his eyes tight and opened them again. "Eli!" He called. His brother came in the room. "Where is the table?"

"Right there," Eli smiled, knowing that wasn't what he brother had meant.

The jaw tightened on Blaine, "Eli…"

Eli gave a chuckle, "Chill, Blaine. You'll blow a gasket before he even arrives." Eli went over to straighten Blaine's collar to his black dress shirt. "You have forgotten that the table can hold up if desired. It's in the kitchen."

"Oh…" Blaine took a deep breath. He knew he had to relax. At least for his brother's sake.

"You're not going to wear a tie?" Eli said as he looked Blaine over.

Blaine looked down to himself; the dress shirt and fitted dark blue jeans with a black belt looked fine to him. "It's a date, Eli. Not a wedding."

His brother shook his head, "Whatever," He looked Blaine over, "You do look nice… even if you don't have a tie on."

"I'm not putting on a tie," Blaine's eyes burned into Eli's as the brothers both nodded.

An inhaled breath came from Eli, "Take you seat. I'll let you know when he arrives." A wink followed and Eli quickly exited the room.

Anderson was written in a brick of stone on the front step. Kurt looked at David, "Is Eli related to this guy?" A smirk came from David and that was Kurt's answer. "This isn't Eli's house, is it? I thought he lived alone…"

"He does. And no, this isn't his current home." David's smirk turned into a gentle smile.

Kurt's eyebrows scrunched together, "Current? So he's lived here?"

David ignored Kurt's question and knocked on the door. Just a few seconds later, a small brunette opened the door.

A smile brightened her face as she brought David in a hug, "Hey David!"

"Dani," he greeted. The two pulled out of their hug, "Dani, meet Kurt. Kurt, this is Dani."

Kurt smiled a kind smile, "Pleasure," Kurt stuck out his hand.

Danielle looked Kurt up and down before she took her hand in his, "Wow, he was right. You are cute."

Kurt looked from left to right and then back at Danielle, "Thank you…" he said awkwardly.

Laughter came from Danielle and David. Kurt looked around the front of the house. He noted to himself that it was a pretty decent size house.

Danielle looked behind her and moved out of the way for the two boys to continue to the house, "Come on in, guys."

David extended his arm out in a message for Kurt to go in first. Kurt made his way past Danielle and David quickly followed suit.

Kurt looked in amazement at how big the house was from the inside. He could see the living room; two couches with a flat screen television that was hung on the wall with an entertainment center surrounding.

In the process of looking over everything, a door opened and Eli walked out. Kurt's eyes widened slightly and his mouth cracked open as Blaine walked out after Eli.

XxX

Blaine stopped dead in his tracks when his eyes met with Kurt's. Blaine's breathe caught in his throat, and his mouth with dry. Kurt's chest felt heavy.

The boys didn't know what to do but just stare. Eli broke the silence, "Blaine, meet Kurt Hummel. Kurt, meet Blaine Anderson." Eli's face was stuck in a smile, along with Danielle and David's.

Blaine took a deep breath and couldn't help but bite his lip, "It's…" Kurt's breath stopped at his throat as Blaine took just a few steps forward to meet Kurt's personal bubble. "It's a pleasure to actually meet you, Kurt Hummel."

A striking smile shinned on Blaine's face and Kurt's face flushed as a smile appeared, "Quite an honor, Blaine Anderson." Kurt replied smoothly.

Kurt's flushed face calmed in relief when he heard Blaine's soothing chuckle fill his ears.

"Well, I think I'll be going." David moved towards the door, "And for a conversation starter, I do, in fact, know both of you. Bye boys!" David made his way out the door and was about to close when he paused a moment, "And Danielle." The door closed and none of the remaining four got to say a word.

Kurt turned back around to Blaine, "We both know David? I went to school with him. How about you?"

Blaine's eyebrow quirked, "When?"

"Uh, his Senior year for almost a semester…" Kurt didn't bother asking again.

Blaine nodded, "I went to Dalton before I had to move." Even with the subject, Blaine's face was fixed in a smile.

Danielle and Eli slipped into the kitchen unnoticed.

Kurt looked in thought, "You're the Blaine Anderson?"

"Uh… depends?" Blaine bit his lip.

Kurt smiled in affection, "The one that started the Warblers Blaine Anderson?"

Blaine let out a laugh, "Oh, yeah, that's me." Blaine allowed a flush to color his face.

Kurt pressed his lips together, "I've heard so much about you." Kurt slightly moved forward, "But I never expected you to be so… cute." Kurt smirked.

Before Blaine could respond, Danielle had to interrupt, "As much as I would hate to stop this flirting fest, there is food to be eaten that I worked extremely hard on."

The two snapped their heads towards Danielle and noticed that she was standing by the kitchen door. Blaine laughed in comfort and turned to Kurt, "We should get settled. Come on," Blaine nodded towards the dining room door. Kurt nodded and followed Blaine to the room.

When Blaine let Kurt enter the room before him, Kurt smiled gratefully and realized that Blaine was quite the gentleman.

And when Blaine's face was struck with shock when he realized Kurt was holding out a chair for him, Kurt gave a small chuckle and winked.

Blaine wasn't used to the treatment, but he was completely in delight that Kurt thought of him as an equal person.

The two were seated when conversation blossomed. Blaine being the one to start it off, "So, were you in the Warblers?"

Blaine voice was hopeful; as in, he was nervous about Kurt's answer. He didn't want to be wrong to just assume.

But, nevertheless, Kurt's eyes glimmered with happiness, "Yeah, I was."

Memories came back to Blaine, "Wait… Are you the guy they were all talking about? The one with the amazing vocal range."

Laughter came from Kurt, "Yeah, I guess that would be me."

The door to the dining room opened and Eli and Danielle came in, carrying food. It was simple: a batch of lasagna and a set of green salad and bread sticks.

Blaine and Kurt thanked the two siblings. But Kurt couldn't help but question, "So, Eli… How long have you known?"

Eli's face was gentle, "Since you mentioned your dad." He gave a smile, "But I think I always knew. That's why we clicked as friends."

Blaine shook his head as the two left, "Those two…" Kurt smiled at the start, "can be such trouble sometimes. Blind date, huh?" The pair laughed.

"So you can sing," Blaine pointed out the obvious.

Kurt nodded his head, "And apparently so can you. Do I get to hear the magical voice?"

The addressed gave a kind laugh, "Only if I get to be honored with yours." The two made the deal.

Kurt took a bite of the lasagna and immediately fell in love. He uttered the words, "Amazing lasagna."

Blaine laughed, "Yeah. She used my mom's recipe. It's pretty brilliant."


The conversation died while they were having lunch. After a while, Blaine had to ask. "So how do you know Eli?"

Kurt swallowed the lasagna in his mouth and took the napkin from the table in patted his mouth, "We were both out walking and I kind of bumped into him. I spilt his coffee and I bought him a new one. And ever since then, we've been coffee buddies." A smile showed on Kurt's face.

Blaine nodded, "I see." Blaine shook his head, "Dalton, David and Wes, and Eli. How did we not meet before?"

Kurt gave a pathetic laugh, "I have no idea."

Blaine decided to change the subject, "So what do you do? Like, job wise."

Kurt cleared his throat, "I help plan weddings. My dad got remarried when I was sixteen and I planned it all. I was told I was good at it, so I continued."

Blaine's eyes shinned with amazement, "That's really brilliant."

Kurt laughed, "I guess so. It's just something I love to do. And what about you?"

Blaine looked down at his plate, "I'm not exactly doing anything at the moment. I've been helping my mom and dad around the house and that's about it."

"So do you live here?" Kurt looked around the room.

Blaine gave a chuckle, "Yeah. Eli's has his own place and Danielle's at college, so I'm the only one left that hasn't fully left yet." Blaine shook his head. "Is that pathetic? I'm twenty and I haven't even moved out."

Kurt shook his head, "No, no of course not. I would probably still be living at home, but I got a job a while back that needed my full attention here." Kurt shrugged his shoulders, "It's not a bad thing, Blaine. This is a lovely home. I would live here," Kurt joked.

The other boy laughed as well. He decided to continue on with family, "So I'm kind of a family guy, so… Tell me about your family."

A nod came from Kurt, "I have my dad. My mother died when I was young. Like I said, he remarried when I was sixteen; I set them up, actually. Her son, Finn, and I get along. He can be trouble sometimes, but he's my brother." Blaine's face stayed the same, but his mouth went dry. Kurt smiled fondly, "He's married to Rachel. She's very… snotty, sometimes. But you've got to love her. She was recently in a play."

Kurt was about to start again when Blaine finally said, "Anything one?" more to himself.

"Huh?" Kurt looked confused.

Blaine shook his head, "I know Finn, kind of. I only met him twice. But I went to Rachel's play, with Josh and Quinn."

Kurt's eyebrows rose, "You know Quinn?"

Blaine let out a laugh, "Josh is my cousin."

The boys shook their heads. Kurt summed it all up, "We both went to Dalton, but I missed you by a year and a half. We've both kept in touch with David and Wes. You know Finn somehow and he's my step-brother. Quinn, who's a good friend of mine, is dating your cousin. And Eli's my coffee buddy and he's your brother."

Kurt shook his head, eyebrows still raised. Blaine quirked an eyebrow and bit his lip, "How did we not meet before? We've heard of each other, you probably from the Dalton Warblers and me from Facebook, but we randomly meet one day at the mall and we have all of these connections. How is that possible?"

Laughter came from Kurt, "I have no idea. It's weird, though." He thought a moment, "But… I think, in a good way."


"I can't believe they hid my car." Blaine sulked while driving Kurt back to his house.

Kurt gave a chuckle and smiled, "I think it was sweet of them."

"To hide my car?" Blaine snapped his head to Kurt a few times. He knew what Kurt had meant, but smirked in amusement.

"No! To set us up." Kurt noted that his face was beginning to ache from smiling all afternoon.

Blaine gave a pity chuckle, "Yeah, I guess it was."

"Your sister can really cook. It was good." Kurt complimented. Blaine's answer was a grateful smile. "It's right up here. Blue house," Kurt motioned to the house.

Blaine pulled into the driveway and held a finger up. He shut off the car, grabbed his keys, and slid of his car and over to Kurt's side. He opened the door, smiling.

"You didn't have to do that." Kurt looked in amusement, but nevertheless, smiled with gratitude.

"I wanted to," Blaine confessed. The pair went up to the porch. "It was really nice getting to know you, Kurt."

Kurt's face flushed even after he told himself not to, "Same goes for you, Blaine." Kurt slipped his hands together and fiddled with them.

Blaine looked around the outside of the house, "Your place looks lovely."

"Yeah, well," Kurt thinned his lips, "It's a mess right now. But… maybe you'd like to see the inside sometime?" Kurt's heart had been racing and continued to race.

Blaine smirked, "Is that your way of asking if I'd like to see you again?"

An embarrassed laugh exploded from Kurt, "Possibly." He announced his answer.

Kurt's laughter stopped when Blaine lifted his hand to grip Kurt's. Blaine ran his thumb over his soft skin. Blaine took a deep breath, "I would love to see you again."

"Oh really?" Blaine's eyes traveled down to Kurt's mouth as he let his tongue slip over his lips.

"Oh yeah," Blaine nodded his head.

Blaine stepped closer as Kurt didn't reply. He mimicked Kurt's actions. The pair's eyes caught each other's gaze.

Kurt let his hand slip from Blaine's as Blaine reached his hand up to softly run his thumb over Kurt's cheek. His fingers softly landed on the neck crease.

The two, as on the same thought wave, moved in towards each other. Kurt was the first to shut his eyes.

Blaine followed suit, but only cringed when his phone rang from his pocket. Blaine sighed in frustration and stepped back – much to Kurt's dismay.

"Hello?" Blaine answered his phone.

"Hey, want to catch a movie?"

Blaine groaned, "Josh, you have extremely bad timing."

"Huh?"

"Just go with Quinn." Blaine glanced over to Kurt who had his hand on his doorknob.

"I can't. She's working on something. Come with me. Please?"

"I'll call you later, okay? Bye," before Josh could reply, Blaine ended the call. "I'm… sorry about that." Kurt nodded. "Josh… uh, not important."

Kurt shook his head, "I should go inside, anyway."

Blaine's face flushed, "Oh, right…" His stomach twisted. "I guess I'll… see you around."

Kurt's eyebrows scrunched in confusion as Blaine turned around to go back to his car. "Blaine?" He let the doorknob go and placed his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah?" Blaine turned around.

"If we're going to see each other 'around', then I suggest we exchange numbers." Kurt smiled gently.

Blaine let his eyes shut, "You're so right. I'm sorry."

The two exchanged numbers and Blaine got into his car. "Call me tonight?" Kurt asked; he tried not to sound too hopeful.

Kurt relaxed as Blaine's smile appeared, "Of course." Blaine shut the car door and turned on his car. He put the car in reverse and was about to go when he rolled down the window on a late thought. "Kurt?"

"Yeah?"

"Next time, I'm shutting off my phone." Blaine gave a smirk and let his eye do a wink. Kurt smiled fondly and nodded his head.


Kurt felt like he was in a dream. And he would wake up at any moment. But even if he did, he would believe he had the most amazing dream in the world. In his point-of-view, Blaine seemed so unreal but extremely genuine at the same thing.

His phone rang; Mercedes Jones. Kurt answered to a person who he did want to talk to.

"Hello, Mercedes."

"Hey… You sound happy. How did the blind date go?"

"It went wonderful, Cedes."

"Details, boy!" Mercedes insisted.

"You know that guy that I helped at the mall? Blaine?" Kurt bit his lip.

Mercedes gasped, "No way!"

Kurt smiled, "He's Eli's brother. And let me tell you, Cedes. It was probably the best date I have ever been on."

Mercedes insisted that Kurt tell her every detail. Kurt didn't bother protesting and told her about all the connections they had.

"Kurt, I am so happy for you." Mercedes giggled.

He smiled nevertheless, "He's wonderful." Kurt mentioned.

"Please tell me you got that boy's number this time."

Kurt laughed, "Of course. I made sure of it."

"Good. So when do I get to meet these brothers?" Kurt took notice that Mercedes sounded quite hurt.

"Soon, Mercedes. I promise." Kurt could tell by the silence that Mercedes was smiling. "He's calling me tonight… well, I think he is."

"Well, I better go then. You two have fun with your phone sex."

"Mercedes!" Kurt got halfway through with her name when the line went dead. He shook his head, but his face was completely flushed at the thought.

The couch didn't look comfy enough and he made his way back to the bedroom. He flopped down on the bed and smiled in glee. The events of the day flashed back in his mind and he couldn't help but feel curious about what the future had to hold for him and Blaine.

Blaine walked in to his house and noticed that Danielle and Eli were in the living room watching television. They turned their heads to Blaine as he walked in.


"Eli, you devil." Blaine smirked.

His brother laughed, "I know."

"You sounded so nervous over the phone, though. Why?"

Eli bit his lip, "Honestly? I was worried you two could hate me for keeping you apart for so long. I wasn't one-hundred percent positive that coffee mate Kurt was car trouble Kurt either"

Danielle shook her head, "You guys are impossible. I should probably call mom and dad." Danielle reached for the phone on the table.

"Yeah, where are they?" Blaine quirked an eyebrow.

"We told them Danielle had to do a photo shoot with cats," Eli smirked. Danielle laughed and Blaine shook his head.

"You guys are really weird." Blaine said. The other two siblings shrugged. Blaine's disapproving face turned into a generous smile. "Thank you, Eli."

The address brother nodded his head, "Blaine, you deserve it. And on the plus side, you don't have to worry about me meeting him."

Blaine's eyes widened, "That is a plus!" Eli shook his head and ignored the sarcasm.

The smile on Blaine's face wouldn't leave without a good reason. And even with that reason, the time didn't last for more than two minutes before Kurt scrambled back in his thoughts.

He felt like a giddy teenager all over again. Except, this time he wasn't a teenager and he was actually getting to know Kurt before anything happened.

Even so, Blaine looked at the clock in his room. 4:40 was blinking at him. He grabbed his phone and scrolled until he found the name. He brought his phone to his ear and waited.

"Hello?" Kurt sweet, caring voice carried through his phones ear piece.

"Hey there, lovely; it's tonight." Blaine smiled when he heard Kurt's charming laughter.


A/N: I'm actually surprised I finished this today. This was the work of a very tired Megan that tried to write and plot it.
As always, there are probably some mistakes. But bare with me!
By the way, THANK YOU for all the reviews and alerts and favorites. You guys are amazing!

Edit: sapphiretwin369 caught my mistake with the Mercedes and Kurt scene. I am so sorry. It is changed and replaced.
