"Please Kurt, pretty please please please!" Brittany begged, climbing onto Kurt's lap and hugging him hard.
"Oh, okay, Brittany, we can go." Kurt grunted, trying to pus the girl off his lap, but she only squealed and hugged him harder.
"Thank you! I gotta tell my mom! Call Blaine, okay?" she said, hopping off his lap and looking at him pointedly, Kurt blushed.
"W-why would I call Blaine? It's for your birthday, Boo." Kurt said, Brittany rolled her eyes
"Cause he's your dolphin. And there's gonna be dolphins at the aquarium." she said "duh." She smiled brightly and flicked her ponytail as she bounced out of the room. Kurt sighed and picked up his phone, dialing Blaine's number. It rang three times before Blaine picked up.
"Hello, Kurt?"
"Uhm yeah...I was wondering if you had any plans today." he said, trying to keep the anxious tone out of his voice.
"No," Blaine replied, and Kurt could hear the smile in his voice "did you wanna do something?"
"Well, I'm going to take Britt to the aquarium for her birthday and she wanted me to invite you."
"Yes! Oh my god, I love aquariums!" Blaine squealed, and then cleared his throat "I mean...uhm. Why did she want me to come?"
"Because you're the other dolphin." Kurt rolled his eyes
"Pardon?"
"She thinks dolphins are gay sharks." Kurt explained and smiled when Blaine laughed on the other end
"That's sweet, yeah, are we meeting at your house?"
"mmhm, wake your way over now, we'll leave as soon as you get here."
"Alright." Blaine said "see you soon."
oOo
Kurt ran to get the door as he heard the knocks from his room. Brittany came running after him. Kurt nearly wrenched the door open and smiled brightly at Blaine. Brittany, on the other hand, ran past Kurt and nearly knocked Blaine down the steps. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, mostly to regain his balance, but then picked her up and swung her a little. Brittany giggled and kissed his cheek, much to Blaine's surprise.
"Blaine you came!" she said excitedly "...it's my birthday."
"I know." he smiled "Happy birthday, Britt" Kurt laughed and walked out of the door
"Alright, let's go." he said and made to walk down the steps, but Blaine grabbed his forearm and pulled him into a hug. Kurt hit his chest with a little 'oof' as Blaine wrapped his arms snugly around Kurt's back. Kurt returned the hug and pulled away with pink cheeks.
"o-okay, let's go." he said and walked brusquely to his Navigator. Blaine insisted on taking the back seat as Brittany sat in the front next to Kurt. He turned on the radio and, like something out of a nightmare, When I Get You Alone was playing. He instantly fumbled to switch stations and glanced up at the rearview mirror to look at Blaine, who looked kind of like he had a stomach ache.
"...you okay?" he asked quietly, Blaine nodded
"Just bone crushing embarrassment." he said and rubbed a hand over his face, Kurt smiled a bit
"It's okay, he was a douche anyway." but that seemed about as far as the conversation would go as a Brittany Spears song came on the radio and Brittany began belting her lungs out and dancing in her seat. Blaine looked at her fondly and Kurt found himself unable to hide his smile. Once they got to the aquarium, Blaine and Brittany hung back while Kurt bought them passes, and they entered through a line of people. Brittany was looking up at the walls, which were painted with whales. She reached down and grabbed Kurt and Blaine's hands. Once they were inside, Kurt took out a map he had grabbed
"Okay, where do you want to go first?" he asked, pointing to the map "the mammals, or the fish?"
"...I wanna see the seals." she said happily "they're so cute, I had a toy one once, but Lord Tubbington scratched him." she shrugged and Kurt shook his head, smiling as he tugged her in the right direction. They looked all around, Brittany squealing and giggling and pointing things out as Kurt and Blaine stood together watching her with fond expressions. At one point Blaine and Brittany went over to touch the stingrays, Kurt hung back and watched them. Brittany whispered something to Blaine, who glanced back at Kurt over his shoulder and quickly looked away. Kurt thought he saw a blush on Blaine's cheeks but shook the thought out of his mind as he continued watching the two.
"...Kurt" Brittany whispered, Kurt looked up and raised a brow
"yeah, boo?"
"I have to pee." she said, bounding on the balls of her feet, Kurt laughed and nodded
"Alright, the bathrooms are..." he looked at the map "right down this hallway, come on Blaine!"
Blaine and Kurt stood leaning against the wall as they waited for Brittany to return.
"You like Brittany." Kurt pointed out, Blaine smiled
"Yeah, it's kind of hard not to." he said "she's like a little kid, sweet and...innocent?"
"More like naive, but yes." Kurt giggled, he took a breath and said "...what was Brittany talking to you about? When you were at the stingrays?"
Blaine's eyes widened and he opened his mouth, but he didn't get the chance to say anything as Brittany came skipping out of the bathroom and draping her arms over their shoulders.
"Let's go to the dolphins!" she said. They nearly ran to the exhibit, a giant glass tunnel under the water. Brittany looked around with wide eyes, and Blaine had nearly the same expression. Kurt smiled looking at him, the blue light reflecting on his face and in his eyes, it was probably the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Suddenly, a dolphin swam up near the glass, and Brittany put her hand up to it, giggling. Blaine smiled,
"Watch this." he said and walked forward, getting as close to the glass as possible
You think I'm pretty, without any makeup on, you think I'm funny, when I tell the punchline wrong
He sang it soft and slow, and when he paused, the dolphin swam around and squeaked back to him. Kurt let out a breathless laugh and Brittany clapped her hands.
"He likes you, Blaine!" Brittany giggled, pressing her hands to her mouth.
As they were leaving, Blaine distracted Brittany while Kurt slipped into the gift shop, when he came back out, he handed Brittany a little box.
"Happy Birthday, Britt, this is from me and Blaine." she smiled widely and opened it, pulling out a little silver dolphin on a chain.
"It's so pretty!" she smiled "thank you!"
Kurt dropped Brittany off on their way home, and rode the rest of the way in silence to his own house. Kurt walked Blaine to his car and stopped, waiting for a hug, but it never came. Blaine was looking at the ground and playing with the hem of his shirt.
"Kurt...at the aquarium...Brittany said," he looked up and swallowed "uhm...she said that you liked me." Kurt's eyes widened
"Oh my god." he said, cheeks reddening "I can't believe this, Blaine, I'm sorry-"
"No! Kurt, it's okay, really...it's okay." he smiled and clasped the tops of Kurt's arms, suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed Kurt. His hands slid from Kurt's arms to the sides of his face and Kurt rested his own hands on Blaine's hips. When they broke apart, Blaine smiled
"Kurt...will you be my dolphin?" Kurt laughed and rested his forehead against Blaine's
"Of course."
