I Know You're Out There Chapter 6, a glee fanfic

"Kurt darling, could you bring this to the lady at the table over there?" Ella asked poking her head out from the kitchen holding out a plate of cookies.

"Yeah of course, just a second" he answered before turning back to the costumer he was helping, handing him his muffin, "there you go sir, hope you'll like it" he said smiling before turning to get the plate of cookies and heading to the table to the costumer who ordered them.

He went to go back to the counter when the door opened. Looking over, he saw the head of curly hair he'd recognise anywhere close the door to the shop.
He smiled at the man when his eyes fell on him as he walked back to behind the counter.
"Well, hello good sir, don't you look chipper today, and without gel, who are you and what have you done with the real Blaine Anderson?" Kurt said happily in a sarcastically mocking shocked tone as Blaine approached the counter.
Blaine shot him a glare that quickly returned to his usually charming smile, "I received some splendid news in the mail today" he answered with a jokingly English accent to his words, "and I was just wondering, if you would possibly, hopefully be free tonight?" Blaine said, giving Kurt his best puppy eyes, which of course, Kurt couldn't say no to.
"Yeah, yeah of course, oh, there's a costumer behind you, I get off from work in like 10 minutes, how about you wait at a table and I join you when I'm done here?" Kurt asked.
"Sure, where do you want to sit?"
"Hello, what can I do for you today miss Andrews?" Kurt asked the elder kind-looking lady, "Uh, by one of the windows? That's always so nice" He answered quickly as he wrote down what the lady ordered.
Before he got any further, he looked up and smiled at the sight of Blaine at one of the table by the window.
"Who is that handsome young man you're making heart eyes at?" miss Andrews asked breaking Kurt from his trance.

Kurt snapped his head towards miss Andrews, "I'm sorry?" he asked, his voice raising to a slightly higher pitch.
Miss Andrews chuckled, "oh you know what I'm talking about sweetie" she said in a knowing tone.
Kurt sighed and bowed his head, trying to hide his blush, "yeah, yeah I know" he looked over at Blaine with a dreamy look.
Miss Andrews tilted her head and smiled at him, "you really like him, don't you?" she asked knowingly.
Kurt looked over at Blaine, who seemed busy trying to take in everything that was happening in the street at once like a puppy experiencing the world for the first time.
Kurt couldn't help but chuckle a little at the sight, "yeah… I do" he said as he sighed.
"What's wrong sweetie?" miss Andrews asked.

Kurt frowned, he really wasn't sure what was wrong, he really liked Blaine, he might even be in love with him, but Kurt knew they'd both been through some things. What happened with Kurt was a long time ago, so wasn't he supposed to have forgotten about it? He was silly for still being affected by it, wasn't he? The words they always threw at him were practically carved into his mind though, and Karofsky… He wouldn't even go there.
But that's not important, the important one was Blaine, Kurt wasn't sure whether it would be a good idea to tell Blaine how he felt, what if Kurt ruined it? What about what happened in the subway? What if Kurt lost Blaine completely if something went wrong? No. He had to wait, if he was lucky, maybe he could suppress his feelings, maybe they'd go away. But what if Blaine likes him? No, stop it.

"Kurt?" His head snapped up at the sound of Miss Andrews voice. She looked at him oddly, "you with me honey?" she asked with a teasing tone to her voice.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, uhm your order is ready, Ella wanted me to give you a muffin, it's a new recipe so let us know what you think next time you come here" he said as he smiled at the Miss Andrews. She looked at him confused but quickly covered it with a sweet smile.
"Well tell her thank you, I'll be sure to remember it, but we all know it's great, her recipes always are. I'll see you around sweetie, have a nice day" she said as she started to walk out of the shop.
"You too Miss Andrews!".

"Is there anything else you need me to do Ella?" He asked as he peaked his head into the kitchen. He smiled at the sight of Ella doing what he knows she loves, covered in flour with music playing softly in the background as she was making her famous muffins.
"No, it's okay, Sammy will be here in a few minutes, so you're off for today" she said.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon then" he said and left the kitchen. He quickly made some coffee for him and Blaine, paying for it before going to the table Blaine was sitting at.

"Hi, sorry about the wait, I got us some coffee, do you want to drink it in here or take a walk?" he asked.
"Well it's beautiful outside right now, it would be a shame to miss that, wouldn't it?" Blaine said with that charming smile that made Kurt weak in his knees. Though all of Blaine's smiles seemed to do that lately. It was quite odd now that he thought about it. Lately when he had been with Blaine, getting coffee with him, watching a movie, anything, he'd noticed different things, little things he normally wouldn't notice about people, like, how Blaine's nose would scrunch up adorably when he laughed, or how his eyes would sparkle when he talked about something he was really passionate about, little things like that made Kurt involuntarily fall harder for him, and he knew he'd be in trouble very soon if it didn't stop, he knew Blaine deserved someone better.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea" Blaine said, "oh! I've got an idea, you're going to love this, I promise! We have to go to Central Park, come on!" he said excitedly, Kurt couldn't help but chuckle at how Blaine acted like a puppy, and how he practically bounced out of the shop, dragging Kurt after him and trying not to drop his coffee.

They arrived at Central Park, and walked for a while before coming to a stop, Blaine let go of Kurt's hand, walking towards a piano that was placed in front of a beautiful fountain.
Kurt couldn't help but smile at this whole thing, Blaine looking so wonderfully careless as he sat down on the piano bench, running his fingers over the keys on the piano.
He started playing a soft melody and Kurt smiled at the choice of song as he walked over to sit beside Blaine, and they were instantly in their own little world.

I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
It woke me up right after two
I stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn't lose my mind

Kurt sang, blushing at the words but not finding it in himself to care.

Blaine sang the next verse, smiling as he looked at Kurt with a glint in his hazel eyes.

And I had the week that came from hell
And yes I know that you could tell
But you're like the net under the ledge
When I go flying off the edge
You go flying off as well

They both sang the next part, their voices melting together beautifully.

They didn't notice the people gathering around them to listen to them singing.

And if you only die once I wanna die with
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once, (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once, (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much
Yeah, call it our temporary crutch
With broken words I tried to say
Honey don't you be afraid
If we got nothing, we got us

A little girl walked over to the piano chuckling adorably. Kurt took her hand and started dancing with her, not noticing Blaine looking at him lovingly.

I know that we're not the same
But I'm so damn glad that we made it to this time
This time now, around, yeah

You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you
You yeah

You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once, (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
You got something I need
In this world full of people there's one killing me
And if we only die once, (hey)
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

If we only die once
I wanna die

They sang the last lines softly, Kurt slowly twirling the still giggling little girl.

If we only live once
I wanna live with you

As Blaine played the last few notes, they slowly came back to reality. They blushed as the people around them applauded them, and Kurt gave the little girl a hug before she ran back to her mother.

He turned around and walked back to Blaine.

"So, I think I should go home and get ready for tonight. You're still not going to tell what it is we'll be doing?" Kurt asked Blaine hopefully, not asking Blaine what he really wanted to.

"Nope, but you should wear something nice" Blaine said, he quickly corrected his words, afraid he might have offended Kurt, "uh, I mean, not that what you're isn't nice, you look amazing really, I mean, uhm..." he looked down at his shoes blushing, and Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the cuteness of it all.

"Don't worry, I know perfectly well that my clothes are fabulous" he said sarcastically as he chuckled, "thank you" he added genuinely.

Blaine grinned up at him, "well then good sir, I will pick you up at around five then, and we can head out to get something to eat, that okay?".
"That sounds great, I'll see you hen" Kurt said, and they headed their separate ways, both of them buzzing with nerves and excitement about their plans tonight.
