The time seems to flow by, and before either of the boys knows it, it's nearly 11 o'clock, and the majority of their friends have gone home except for Kurt, which is reasonable seeing as he's Blaine's ride home.

"Well…I guess we should call it a night too, unless you want an earful from my parents for keeping me out so late," Leo teases, it causing Blaine to smile as they both climb out of the booth, both now ready for home.

Blaine leads the way to the door, notifying Kurt as he passes him that he's just walking Leo home and that it shouldn't take long. Leo says, "Goodnight," to him afterwards, but Kurt appears apathetic and mumbles a barely audible, "Yeah" before looking somewhere else, leaving Leo feel uncomfortable and wondering the hell he's behaving like this.

When he walks outside, he sees Blaine trying his best to warm up his hands as the night had gotten chillier whilst they'd been inside, but to no avail as he'd forgotten his gloves because he was too busy fretting over what to wear for their date.

It makes Leo laugh a little, "Here, let me help with that," he replies softly, grabbing Blaine's hands and rubbing them between his own, trying to warm them by the friction. It works, if only for a short moment.

"Thanks…now let's get you home before your parents start worrying, and I get an earful." They both laugh at Blaine's little joke before Leo takes his hand into his own and leads the way back to his house. Blaine's a little shocked at the sudden PDA, looking at Leo and seeing that he has absolutely no worries about it whatsoever before he quickly relaxes into the gesture, not worrying either.

"I don't think Kurt like me very much," Leo states completely out-of-the-blue, receiving a perplexed look from Blaine who replies, "What? What makes you say that?"

After waiting for a lonely car to drive by, they both cross the road, still hand-in-hand, before Leo answers him, "Didn't you see the look on his face when I said goodnight to him?" He doesn't give Blaine time to answer as he continues, "It was like he didn't even want to acknowledge my presence."

Blaine tries to put on a positive voice as he replies, "I shouldn't worry about it too much if I were you, Leo. He just a little pissed off that he's on his own for Valentine's Day…and I wouldn't blame him. I think anyone would be if they were in his shoes. Just give him a little time…he'll come around, you'll see."

Thankful for Blaine's attempt in trying to cheer him up; Leo can't help feeling down about Kurt's behaviour towards him nevertheless. From as far as he's concerned, he's done nothing wrong. He's never said anything or done anything to hurt or offend him so it definitely couldn't be that.

Maybe, just maybe, it's simply one of those things where not everyone has to like you. Everyone's always going to have that someone who doesn't like them, no matter what. Maybe Kurt's one of them, which would be a real shame because, honestly, Leo thinks that he's one of the coolest people he's ever had the pleasure to meet, and would rather have him as a friend than an enemy.

Not surprisingly, it doesn't take long for them to reach Leo's house, as he doesn't live that far away from Breadstix, as he escorts Blaine up the garden path towards the front door. The light coming from the living room's still on, signifying that at least one of his parents' still up waiting for his return.

"Thank you for such a wonderful date Blaine, really. Not only did we get to hear each other sing tonight, but we also got to know one another a little more…a lot more actually," he finishes with a smile.

"What? Like your love for musicals, as cliché as it may sound, with your personal favourites being Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Singing in the Rain, and Brigadoon amongst several others I might add. You've won championships in swimming; you love to read books, mostly horror, but you like the occasional mushy romance novel once in a blue moon, and your Mom's a retired West End-slash-Broadway actress."

"Well, you're very passionate about Disco music; your favourite coffee is a "Medium Drip"' with cinnamon; you can't live a day without wearing hair-gel; you sadly enjoy watching bad reality shows like The Jersey Shore, The Bachelorette, and other such monstrosities; and the most you're looking forward to is marriage equality in all 50 states."

They laugh softly at each other for remembering what they'd told each other before stepping a little closer to each other, grabbing hold of each other's hands, and glance into each other's eyes.

"So…I guess I should get going or else Kurt's gonna send out a search party to come looking for me," Blaine laughs, it catching on as Leo starts to laugh along with him before he adds, "I'd very much like to do this again... say, tomorrow night? Dinner and a movie, how does that sound?"

"Wow, you don't waste any time do you?" Leo smiles down at Blaine before nodding in agreement, "It sounds perfect and so very Hollywood rom-com. So, where are you taking me to dine, and what film are we watching?" He suddenly has a need to know, but Blaine teases him with a shake of the head, "Oh no, it's going to be my surprise so I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait until tomorrow."

Leo leans back against the front door, crossing his arms over his chest, and replies softly, "Then I'm looking forward to it, and here's something to think about until then," and before Blaine knows it, Leo steps towards him, leans forward, and places his lips upon his in a chaste kiss that takes the Dalton Warbler totally by surprise.

It's not slow, passionate, but neither is it rushed and filled with teeth. It's just a simple kiss, but the two boys can definitely feel the connection going on between them as well as that certain spark which urges the kiss to become more fervent.

The only reason they eventually stop is for the lack of oxygen, and both pull away slowly in order to take in a much needed intake. They look at each other, stealing quick glances at each other's lips before leaning forward for just one more kiss. When they stop, Leo inches back so their lips are barely touching, and replies softly, "Whoa, remind me to do that more often."

Blaine laughs softly as they pull away from each other, Leo reaching into his back pocket to retrieve his keys, Blaine stepping down the few steps on to the garden path, "I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow and thank you again for tonight. I can't put it into words how much I really enjoyed it so thank you." He can't see it, but Leo's blushing a little for sounding like he's reciting something from an incredibly corny romantic comedy, but Blaine doesn't seem to mind in the slightest.

"Don't mention it. It was my absolute pleasure. Goodnight," Blaine says before waving, Leo waving back and stays on the doorstep, watching him as he disappears into the night back to Breadstix where Kurt will be waiting to take him home.

Once he's gone, Leo appears to be in a daze as he opens the front door, closes it behind him, and leans up against it, looking into the distance at nothing in particular. From the living room, it's his Dad who has waited up for him, and proceeds to make his presence known by saying, "Did you enjoy yourself, sport?"

Pushing himself off the door, Leo saunters slowly towards the stairs, still in a world of his own, and replies, "I'm gonna go bed, I'm real tired. I'll talk to you about it in the morning, Mum." He's halfway up the stairs before he utters, "Goodnight," and then disappears into his room, leaving his Dad slightly confused, but with a grin on his face knowing that his son had had a good time.

As Leo flops backward onto his bed, his thoughts keep trailing back to his and Blaine's amazing kiss, and how it'd made him feel. No-one had ever kissed him like that, not even his last boyfriend had made him feel like he was soaring through the clouds, but enough of thinking of him, Leo's enjoying the thought of seeing Blaine again.

Not having the energy now to even move, he closes his eyes, the images of his date with Blaine helping him to drift off into a dreamless sleep…

Author's Note: I know it's been a while, and I know it seems to take me ages to write one GODDAMN chapter, but I'm not abandoning this series for anything! I'm a Gleek, and proud of it! However instead of the next episode being "Comeback", I'm moving onto the next, "Blame It On the Alcohol", as it's one of my favourite episodes and ties in very well with where I'm going with my series.

Enjoy reading this chapter, and I'll see you all later! Chow!
