Kurt had offered to pay, insists even, for he's the one who invited Blaine out to stay, but Blaine declines with a small smile. And eventually Kurt gave in.
So they drink and talk.
Blaine's free hand set innocuously on the table top and Kurt notices.
"New York is so amazing," Blaine said as they move on to the subject.
"Sebastian told me this morning that you were thinking about moving out here, before...you know. That still part of your plan?" Kurt asks with a tiny head tilt.
"Maybe – I don't know," Blaine's answered as he looked down a little nervously before looking back up at Kurt, "I didn't want to do anything, you know, that might impede this delicate relationship we have here."
"You should," Kurt tells him, then quickly adds, "If you want to."
"I want to," Blaine said as he places both of his hands on the table, positions both palms up in a I-don't-know gesture. "I just..."
He looks at Kurt and then drops his eyes.
"It's a scary, and huge decision, I know." Kurt added because he could tell what was going through Blaine's mind.
Blaine nods.
"I'm sure New York would be lucky to have somebody like you here," Kurt said as he blushed and looked down at his own coffee, "and me too."
Blaine ducked his head a little and smiled widely, and when he lifts his head up again, his eyes were shining and he gave Kurt an amazingly bright smile.
"Thank you," Blaine mouths, his voice stuck in his chest.
"Blaine," Kurt said as he reached out towards him and grabbed the hand Blaine let freely lay on the table top. "I think we will have such a good time together here, but if it is too much of a big decision, I understand, don't just move because it will be easier for us to see each other, it needs to be something you really want."
"Okay," Blaine said with a small shrug, "My brother Cooper, he says I drive into things without really thinking about it, but I know, have known for a while that I wanted to be in New York...I love the place."
"Me too," Kurt replies with a grin.
It's right there and then that it hits Kurt, the feel of his heart beating faster and feel of Blaine's hand against his own forces him to really think about things. Their hands are joined casually, loosely, but it feels entirely too intimate and he slowly draws his hand away.
Blaine is staring at his hand on the table, so of course he noticed, he had a little sad expression in his eye, and Kurt hates that he put that there.
"Blaine I-," Kurt starts to explain but Blaine shrugs and retracts his hand.
"You don't owe me anything," Blaine sais brightly and confidently, as he smiled across at Kurt, and Kurt visibly relaxed when he saw the happiness build back up in his eyes, "I'm just glad we're here today."
"Me too." Kurt replied before adding, "Do you wanna go to the zoo?"
"Sure."

Kurt explained to Blaine what Sebastian had told him about moving out, and that he was now giving Kurt his own space to move on with his life. But he also told Blaine how much change scared him, that he always needed to have a plan set out, but Blaine took the reins on that, and stopped him from having another anxiety attack by promising him that when he moves out to New York, he would be over all the time.
Kurt had smiled at that.
They walked around the zoo for hours, chatting and watching the animals playing. Kurt could really see himself with Blaine for the long haul now. It was still scary having no plans for the future and just going along with whatever happens, but he had Blaine now. And with Blaine holding his hand, he knew he could get through it.
"I had fun today."
"Me too."
They entered the apartment after spending all day outside, and unwrapped themselves from their jackets, before wandering into the kitchen. Kurt made a pot of coffee for them as Blaine sat at the table.
"So, what did you want to do?" Blaine asked when Kurt had placed a cup of coffee in front of him, "I mean...I go home tomorrow."
"I know," Kurt sighed as he reached out a hand to clasp Blaine's, squeezing it slightly with a smile, before he pulled away again, "Maybe we could go out tonight, with Sebastian, have a proper send off."
"You mean getting drunk?"
"Is there any other way?" Kurt chuckled and Blaine sighed before agreeing.
"I suppose it's only fair that Sebastian gets to see me drunk before I go."
"Then it's settled, and I know the perfect place to go." Kurt said as they clinked their mugs together.
Later that night, they were walking into a club that Kurt and Sebastian had been regulars at for a while last year, and Blaine found himself really enjoying the happy atmosphere of the place.
"Wow, this is amazing." He shouted over the music to Kurt and Sebastian, who both grinned at him.
"We found this one when we moved here," Kurt explained, "it's magical right?"
"It is."
Sebastian went to buy the first round of drinks, as Kurt led Blaine over to take a seat at a table near the dancefloor, and Blaine was smiling as he watched people dancing, some sensuous, others silly with friends, and he found that this place may become a favourite of his when he does decide to come out here.
"Here you are," Sebastian said as he placed two cocktails and a beer on the table, "I know that none of you are really keen on beer, so drink up and let's party."
"To new changes." Kurt lifted his glass and held it out.
"To a new adventure." Blaine said as he raised his own and Sebastian grinned.
"To life." Sebastian added and they all laughed merrily as they clinked their drinks together.
After their drinks were finished, Kurt and Sebastian dragged Blaine to dance. He had never felt so alive and carefree before and it made him happy that he was surrounded by people that looked like they had the same feeling. It was amazing.
Kurt bought the next round, and then Sebastian added shots to it. After those were finished is when things started getting interesting. Sebastian was a drinker so the alcohol never really affected him, not like Kurt and Blaine.
They both had the giggles. Sebastian tried to hold in his own laughter as he watched them.
"Excuse me," a voice said from behind him as he watched the two giggling drunks he was with and he turned to see a very handsome man behind him, smiling kindly, "I really never do this...but would you like to dance?"
"Sure." Sebastian smiled back as he stood, and with one last look over at the laughing twosome, he left to dance with the handsome man.
Kurt and Blaine wandered to the bar for more drinks, leaning on each other slightly and giggling at each other's stumbles, Kurt ordered them 2 more cocktails and after they were finished he dragged Blaine out to dance again.
"Where did Sebastian go?" Blaine asked loudly as they danced together and Kurt forced his eyes away from Blaine's to gaze around the bodies before he looked back and shrugged.
"Don't worry, we'll find him later."
Blaine agreed and then Kurt pulled him closer to dance, and Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist as the beat of the music changed to a little faster and they swayed to it together. After a while of dancing in each other's space, they were pushed together a little more as more people joined the dance floor, and they couldn't avoid grinding against each other as they danced.
Blaine couldn't help but tighten his hold around Kurt as they danced, and pulling him closer to rest their chins on each other's shoulders as their hips moved together. Kurt started grinding a little more, forcing their hips to press together a little more firmly, and Blaine found himself having to stifle a few moans as their clothes crotches came in contact.
Kurt was daring enough, and drunk enough, to place a thigh between Blaine's bringing their bodies in line as another song came on and they moved together a little more sensually.
Kurt pulled back a little and stared into Blaine's slightly dazed looking bright hazel eyes, and Blaine stared back, before they ended up smiling at each other and then giggling as they continued dancing.
Kurt rested his head next to Blaine's as he threw one arm around the back of his neck, and then one hand made it's way down to the small of Blaine's back, not daring to go any further.
"I'm so happy that I told you everything." Kurt said against Blaine's ear and he felt Blaine shudder a little and felt a chuckle against his neck.
"I am too."
Sebastian found them a little while later and grinded against the back of Blaine's ass, before Blaine laughed and pushed him away, while detaching himself from Kurt.
"Hey guys." Sebastian said as they all continued dancing together, "You will never guess what happened."
"What?!" Kurt and Blaine yelled excitedly over the music and Sebastian pointed to his ring finger.
"I just met him." He said with a grin, and Kurt squealed and flung his arms around Sebastian as he laughed.
"What's he like?" Blaine asked as they all returned to their table to talk.
"Handsome, smart, funny, adorable," Sebastian listed off and Kurt and Blaine smiled dopily at him, "and he's a doctor."
"How old is he?" Kurt asked and Sebastian smiled over at him.
"31."
"Where does he live?" Blaine said and Sebastian laughed before answering.
"East Village."
"Ooooh fancy." Kurt said with a small chuckle and Sebastian rolled his eyes.
"I have a date with him on Friday," Sebastian said and Kurt grinned happily at him, "oh and he's a fantastic kisser."
"You kissed already?!"
"Why not?" Sebastian said with a shrug and then he grinned at the both of them, "Maybe you two should try it...just saying."
"Oh, well sure I mean...I would like to, but we are taking things slowly and getting to know each other first." Blaine explained, copying Kurt's words about their little relationship, but Kurt had other ideas.
"Let's do it!"
"What now?" Blaine asked and Kurt nodded.
"Why not?" He said with a shrug.
"We're drunk," Blaine said as he pouted, "I don't want our first kiss to be influenced by alcohol."
"How about before you leave tomorrow then? I'll send you off with a kiss." Kurt said and laughed with Blaine as he made kissy faces at him.
"If you can remember that in the morning..." Sebastian said with a chuckle and they finished the rest of the night all dancing around each other.
They fell into the apartment at 2am, and Blaine and Kurt slumped onto the couch together and promptly fell asleep all snuggled up. Sebastian rolled his eyes at the adorable duo and covered them with a blanket before heading for his room.
