Chapter 3

As Kurt and Blaine walked into Central Park, Kurt couldn't help but think that this was a date. The coffee, the sweet talks and letting each other in on their personal lives, not to mention this walk in the park. It wasn't that he minded it being a date, he just didn't know if it was or not and it was bothering him. Walking further into the park, Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand and looked over to him.
"You okay?" He asked, worried because Kurt had yet to say anything. Kurt nodded. "Yeah. I just, I have a question." Blaine nodded as well, silently telling Kurt to go on and ask. "Well, I was just wondering...I was wondering if this was a date." He said fairly fast, but not too fast so Blaine could hear. Smiling, Blaine stopped in his tracks, having Kurt stop as well.
"Do you want it to be a date?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, grabbing Kurt's other hand. The familiar blush appeared on Kurt's face yet again at Blaine's question. He smiled, nodding. "Then this is most definitely a date." Blaine grinned and interlaced his and Kurt's hands together as they continued to walk. "So, Kurt, tell me more about yourself. Your family, friends, your dreams, talents, anything. I want to know every little thing about you. Don't leave out even the smallest details." Kurt smiled, guiding them over to a clear bench and sat down. Taking a deep breath, he crossed his leg over the other and sat back, ready to tell the puppy like boy all about his life. "For starters, I was born and raised in Lima, Ohio. Quite a small town might I say. Well, I raised by both my parents for the first eight years of my life. Those were the best years of my life. When I was eight years old, my mother died of cancer." Kurt looked down, eyes getting a bit misty. Blaine let go of Kurt's hand and wrapped his arm around his shoulders, pulling him closer to his body to comfort him. "She was my best friend. After her death, my dad and I started to drift apart. I started changing, and my changing I mean realizing that I was gay. I didn't think my dad would like me anymore so I tried to convince myself that I was straight. Worst two weeks of my life." Kurt laughed, remembering those two weeks of his sophomore year. Tragic. Blaine couldn't help but laugh as well.
"I then realized that I was being stupid and that I needed to just be who I was. I auditioned for NYADA and wasn't accepted, sadly, but then I got a full scholarship to come here for music and theatre and I immediately came. Now I'm sitting on a bench in Central Park with an incredibly nice guy. What more could I ask for?" He said, finishing up his life story. Blaine grinned. He was glad that Kurt had trusted him. It was really all he wanted from Kurt, trust. It was their first date and in Blaine's mind, trust is the first thing you should gain on that very date.
"Thank you for telling me about yourself, Kurt." Blaine said, smiling as he looked deep into Kurt's eyes. Kurt looked back, blushing as he looked away. Blaine nudged Kurt again. "Hey now, what did I say about that blush?" He asked, smirking as he lifted Kurt's head so they were eye to eye.
"That you thought it was cute." He mumbled, loud enough for Blaine to hear. Blaine nodded. "Yes, so please don't be ashamed of it." Blaine looked at the time and sighed. "I got a class in twenty minutes. Mind walking me there?" He asked Kurt, hopeful he'd say yes. Kurt nodded with a smile. They both stood up at the same time and started to walk towards the building Blaine's class was held in. Blaine kept his arm around Kurt's waist, as if he was protecting him from harm. They walked in a comfortable silence all the way to Blaine's class. Neither of them spoke, too comfortable with just the company. As the reached the classroom, Blaine turned around to face Kurt, hand on Kurt's hip. "I had fun today." He said, smiling. Kurt nodded in agreement. "I did too, but I want the next date to be about you. I want to learn every little thing about you." Kurt said. Blaine laughed. "Of course. How about we go to dinner tomorrow night and I'll tell you all about my amazing life?" He asked, hoping for a yes. "That sounds lovely. I'd love to. Just call me later and we'll plan something." Blaine nodded, pulling Kurt into his body for a hug. Kurt was shocked, but returned the hug happily. After a few seconds in each others arms, they pulled away from each other and smiled. "I'll call you tonight." Blaine said, squeezing Kurt's arm and entering his classroom with one last glance. Kurt couldn't help the giddiness he felt building up inside of him as he walked away from the building. Whipping out his cell phone, he immediately dialed Rachel's number and told her to meet him at his dorm. He had a lot to inform his best friend.

When Kurt reached his dorm room, Rachel was already outside waiting for him to arrive. He couldn't help but grin when he hugged his best friend. Kurt knew for a fact that Rachel was just as excited as he was. This never happens to Kurt, ever. And having it happen now was a big deal for them. After a few seconds of hugging, Kurt pulled away and unlocked his dorm room. Entering the room, he immediately set his Marc Jacobs bag down and sat down on his bed, legs in the the Indian style. Rachel giggled at her friends giddiness. It was adorable to her. Sitting across from Kurt, she mocked his posture and smiled. "Now, fill me in, boy!" She said, grinning from ear to ear. Kurt blushed but took a deep breath to start talking about his date with Blaine Anderson. "Well, first we went to the campus coffee shop for some coffee and donuts. We talked a lot about me. He wanted to know everything and anything." He smiled. "No boy has ever wanted to know about me." Rachel smiled, putting her hand over Kurt's. He smiled up at her. "Then he took my hand and asked if I wanted to go for a walk in Central Park." Rachel looked at Kurt as if she were asking him if he said yes. "Of course I said yes!" Rachel laughed and nodded.
"Go on." "Well, then Blaine asked me for my life story, so I told him all about my life, including my Mellencamp days." He said, laughing. Rachel laughed as well, remembering the day he had told her about those days. "Wanna know the best part?" He asked as Rachel nodded vigorously. "He asked me out for dinner." Kurt instantly blushed and looked down. Rachel started to jump up and down in her seat. "Oh my God! Kurt! That's amazing! Please tell me you said yes." She said, still jumping up and down. Kurt nodded, still blushing like crazy. A squeal came from Rachel's mouth that could be heard for miles. "Oh Kurt, I'm so so happy for you. You really deserve this." Kurt looked up at Rachel and smiled softly.
"Thank you, Rach." Gathering each other in a hug, they both squeezed tight and held the position for a few minutes. Releasing each other from the hug, they both returned to their previous positions and sighed contently. Rachel looked at her watch and groaned. "I've got to go, Kurt. I promised Quinn I'd go shopping with her." Kurt nodded, understanding, as he got up off of his bed and walked Rachel out. "Thank you for talking about this with me, you have no idea how much it means to me." Rachel hugged Kurt tightly and kissed his cheek. "Anytime, Kurt. Just call me up and I'll be here." With a smirk and a wink, Rachel turned and left Kurt alone in his doorway. Kurt shook his head, laughing, as he closed his dorm door. It had been a long day and all Kurt wanted to do was curl up in his bed with a good book, silently replaying the days events multiple times in his head. The grin on his face never left, even when he fell asleep, dreaming of the one and only, Blaine Anderson.
