"I would like a grilled veggie sandwich, a salad with Thousand Island dressing and a water with lemon to drink please." Rachel played with the ruffled collar on her black summer dress that had green and white hearts covering it. She almost had to yell over the pounding music, but even with its loud music, Hard Rock Café was so much better than having McDonalds again.

The waiter nodded and looked up from her notepad and at Kurt. "For you sir?"

Tonight Kurt was wearing a white blouse with puffy sleeves with his blue Alexander McQueen scarf wrapped around his neck. His tight skinny jeans made his legs look very thin. "Can I have a Caesar salad with Ranch dressing on the side and a Diet Coke please?"

"Sure thing. And you?" The curly haired waiter was now looking past Kurt at Blaine.

"I'll take the New York Strip Steak with mashed potatoes and the vegetable plate with a cherry coke please, ma'am." Blaine was looking his normal dapper self sporting a lavender button down, leaving the top two buttons undone, and dark denim jeans with his beloved pink sunglasses in the pocket. His hair was gelled back in its normal way.

Kurt couldn't hold his laughter back any longer after their waiter had walked away. "Blaine Warbler, did you really just order a New York steak just because we are in New York?" The two boys shared one side of the booth as Rachel sat on the other.

He flashed a huge smile. "Well, I have to celebrate somehow."

Rachel laughed loudly at his joke as she looked into his chocolate eyes. "You are so funny, Blaine! But it is such a reason to celebrate! Gosh, I haven't been back in the city since Nationals junior year. You see, one of my two dads is terrified of flying and my other dad didn't want to go without him and I wasn't allowed to go by myself. It was such a disaster." She then found herself staring at Blaine's collar bone where his purple shirt was unbuttoned.

Taking his boyfriend's hand and sitting it on the table in plain sight, Kurt cleared his throat, causing Rachel to turn her attention to him before looking down at the table. He had seen the way she looked at Blaine and his chest. It's her house party from junior year all over again, but this time neither are drunk, He thought. And poor Blaine, he's so oblivious he doesn't even realize what's happening.

Blaine, confused by the sudden silence, cut into Kurt's thoughts. "So Rachel, what are we doing after we eat?"

She looked up batting her eyelashes at Blaine, ignoring the nasty looks Kurt was giving her. "Well, I bought the three of us a flying trapeze lesson at TSNY."

Kurt choked on a sip of his Diet Coke.

"Flying trapeze? Like what they do in the circus?" Blaine was grinning from ear to ear.

Rachel was too. "Exactly! Can you imagine the thrill? I am so excited!"

"So, let me make sure I understand this clearly. You want me to swing on a bar and possibly fall to my death just to get a thrill? I'll pass." Kurt rolled his eyes.

Her smile fell slightly. "There is a net."

"Come on, Kurt! It would be amazing!" Blaine was almost jumping up and down in his seat from excitement.

Kurt felt as if he was a deflating balloon. Blaine was supposed to be on his side, not Rachel's. "Well, I guess I'll try it," He mumbled.


"So, before we let you all try this three hundred feet in the air," The trapeze instructor, Jonathon, said, "We will just let you get comfortable to the bar on the ground. Who wants to go first?"

Blaine looked around and smiled. "I guess I can." He began to walk up to the front of the fifteen people in the lesson.

"Blaine-" Kurt and Rachel said in a concerned tone. They looked at each other, now in sweat pants and t-shirts for their class. Kurt had a sweatband around his forehead. He had explained that it was to keep his facial pores unclogged.

Blaine made it to the front. Behind him was the net for the real trapeze, which was looming high overhead. Beside him was the one they would be starting on.

"Great!" Jonathon's voice echoed off the large gym walls. "What's your name young man?"

"I'm Blaine Anderson."

"Great to meet you Blaine! Now, if you can just grab the bar-"

Jonathon and continued to talk to Blaine and the group as Kurt turned and whispered to Rachel. "Rachel, we need to talk."

"Hmm?" She kept her eyes forward, watching how to properly swing on a trapeze- or Blaine's abdomen tightening and loosening underneath his Warblers t-shirt as he swung effortlessly back and forth.

"Blaine Anderson is gay and he is my boyfriend. If you haven't noticed, he's kinda in love with me."

She turned to look at the boy beside her. "Kurt, what are you talking about?"

"Oh Ms. Rachel Berry don't pay dumb with me." He snapped as he played with the sweatband around his hairline. "I saw the way you have looked at him today. Hell, we were making out in our apartment and you still looked at him like you had a chance."

"A chance? I do have a chance. A city can change people, Kurt. You'll see. I- I'll ask him on a date tomorrow. And if he has less than a fantastic time, then you can have him back and I will never bother you happy couple again."

"God. It's junior year all over again. Do you remember that?" Kurt continued to get louder. "You all were piss drunk and kissing during spin the bottle? But then when he was sober you kissed him at the Lima Bean and he said he was gay? He's gay Rachel. How many times will it take for you to understand?" He realized he was actually screaming.

"Um, do we have a question out there in the back?" Jonathon asked awkwardly.

The two now realized that the whole group was looking at them. Kurt turned a vivid shade of red.

"Um, n- no. Sorry," Rachel stammered.

The group turned back to Jonathon and Blaine, who was now hanging upside down off of the trapeze by his knees.

"So tomorrow, me and Blaine Warbler are going to go out, whether you like it or not," She whispered to Kurt.

Blaine ran up between them, putting his arms on both of their shoulders, laughing. His face was red and he was breathless. "Did you all see that? That was freaking amazing! Can we come back next week?"
