Only You
Chapter 8
"I already told you," Blaine said. "It is impossible for me to stay away from you. I would love to take you on a date."
"I don't know," Kurt replied, still feeling angry. "You hurt me Blaine, and what if you do it again."
"Please let me make it up to you Kurt," Blaine pleaded. "Please let me show you just how special you are."
Kurt looked at Blaine in the eyes, and finally relented. "Fine, I'll go on a date with you, but please don't make me regret it."
Blaine beamed, "You won't."
"I seriously hope not, because I can't deal with your bipolar tendencies anymore Blaine Anderson," Kurt replied.
"I want to kiss you right now," Blaine said, looking at Kurt fondly.
Kurt felt his face flush, "And what is stopping you?"
Blaine didn't hesitate, and his lips were on Kurt's in a second. If the first kiss was amazing, then this was nothing short of spectacular. Their lips moved against each other as they deepened the kiss and it was only the need for air that made them separate.
Blaine paused and then moved forward for another kiss, but Kurt put his hand up to stop him.
"Take me on a date first and maybe you'll get another one," Kurt teased, and turned away leaving a flabbergasted Blaine in his wake.
It wasn't until Kurt had reached his car, when the full weight of him and Blaine together would mean. It was bad enough being gay in a town where most people criticized his sexuality, but being involved with Lima's biggest star made things even worse. The people in this town were not shy about bragging about their own rags to riches story and having Blaine Anderson around put Lima, Ohio on the map so to speak. So Kurt definitely had a feeling that dating Blaine would not end well.
And yet Kurt couldn't bring himself to reject Blaine either. The memory of Blaine's lips pressed against his was so surreal that Kurt almost didn't feel as if it really happened. The chemistry between them was definitely there and perhaps could turn into something real someday. Their friendship had just shifted into something more, and for some reason that didn't feel awkward or strange at all. To think a few months ago Kurt couldn't stand Blaine Anderson at all, and now he had just shared two amazing kisses with the same man.
Kurt went home in a daze and he did his homework with an almost mechanical precision. His mind felt like a jumbled mess, and doubt started to seep in. Could he really hope to get so close to Blaine and not get burned? Only time would tell.
Suddenly Kurt heard the sound of his phone ping the way it did when he had a new text message. He opened it up to see a message from Blaine.
To Kurt: So about that date, how does tomorrow sound?
To Blaine: Fine, what time?
To Kurt: I'll pick you up at 7.
"Kurt, dinner time!" he heard Burt yell up at him.
Kurt set down his phone and tried to think of how he would broach the subject with his Dad. Sure his Dad never said that he couldn't go on dates, but Kurt knew he would be suspicious if Kurt suddenly wanted to go on a date considering the lack of gay men in Lima. He waited until Finn had returned to his room after dessert, and Carole went to bed before he approached his Dad.
"What is it?" Burt asked, giving his son a curious look.
"What do you mean?" Kurt asked, flustered.
"You obviously want to ask me something since you've been acting on edge the entire night," Burt told him.
Kurt forced out a nervous chuckle. "Ok you got me," he said. "I just wanted to ask if I could go on a date tomorrow night."
Burt looked surprised, "A date? With who?"
Kurt sighed, knowing that this was the question he was dreading the most. He took a deep breath before answering, "Blaine Anderson."
"Blaine Anderson?" Burt repeated in confusion. "Is he even gay? You told me you were just friends."
"We are friends," Kurt replied. "And he is gay, he just doesn't want to tell the world that."
"I don't know Kurt," Burt replied. "Getting involved with celebrities is never good, look at what just happened a few weeks ago with all the damn photographers."
"I really like him Dad," Kurt told him.
Burt sighed, "As long as you are sure, then I won't stop you. Just be careful."
"I will Dad," Kurt said smiling hugging his father fiercely. "Thank you!"

"You look different," Kurt blurted out the moment he saw Blaine in the open doorway. Blaine looked almost nothing like he usually did. His normally gelled locks were freed exposing his naturally curly hair which was covered with a brown hat. Instead of a leather coat and biker look, Blaine wore a white polo shirt, capris, and a red bow tie that strangely really worked for him. And to top it all off Blaine wore a square pair of spectacles that almost made him unrecognizable.
"This is the real me before fame," Blaine explained. "This is how I used to dress before my publicist and agent thought it was too dapper and not sexy enough. The glasses and the hat is just for the disguise, but the rest is the old me."
"I like it," Kurt smiled. "I like seeing the real you."
Blaine grinned, "You look amazing too." He said. "Ready to get out of here?"
Kurt nodded and closed the door behind him before following Blaine out to his understated car. Blaine got behind the wheel and turned on the radio before pulling out of the driveway.
"I hope you don't mind, but we are going to Findlay," Blaine said. "Less chance of me being recognized there."
Kurt nodded, "My curfew isn't until ten, that's fine."
They were silent for a moment until the song changed on the radio to Blaine's song Human.
Kurt chuckled, "Is that weird? Hearing yourself on the radio."
"Oh yeah," Blaine agreed. "It is a bit surreal, though sometimes I get sick of hearing myself all the time. I'm like play someone else for a change."
Kurt laughed, "Well for what it is worth, I really like your music."
"Thanks," Blaine said, smiling warmly.
After a forty minute drive they arrived at the restaurant in Findlay which was an Italian restaurant that put Breadstix to shame. They spent the time talking about light topics such as school and glee club, and fortunately Blaine was never recognized once. Once Blaine paid for the bill despite Kurt's protests, they got back in the car to drive back home.
Made a wrong turn, Once or twice
Dug my way out, Blood and fire
Bad decisions, That's alright
Welcome to my silly life
"I love this song," Blaine said, singing along.
"Me too," Kurt replied, joining in.
They traded off singing parts of the song, and Kurt let Blaine sing the rap. When it was over, Blaine looked at Kurt mischievously.
"We have some serious music chemistry," Blaine told him.
"I hadn't noticed," Kurt joked.
"I'm serious," Blaine replied. "You could get a record deal easy."
"I'm not so sure of that," Kurt commented. "People usually think I sound like a girl."
"Your voice is so rare," Blaine said sincerely. "It truly is incredible."
"Thank you," Kurt replied softly, not able to stop his cheeks from flushing.
Blaine pulled the car to a stop, Kurt was dumbfounded to realize they were already back in Lima. The drive seemed to fly by when he was with Blaine.
"I had a really good time tonight, Kurt," Blaine told him.
"Me too," Kurt agreed.
Suddenly a silence ensued as the two boys stared at each other from their seats. As though they were two opposite sides of a magnet they were drawn together and their lips pressed together in a hesitant kiss. They moved closer and the deep swelling into their most passionate kiss yet. Kurt never wanted the moment to end, but he finally came to his senses and pulled away. Blaine watched him, the look in his gorgeous eyes was hopeful, happy, and something else that Kurt couldn't identify.
"Good night, Blaine," Kurt told him them and then got of the car without looking back. It was safe to say that this was the best first date in history.
AN: Well there you have it; sorry the chapter has taken so long. Life has been a bit insane since I'm taking my last two college classes before my externship and graduation. I really hope you enjoyed the Klaine fluff this chapter! Btw is anyone going to one of Darren's concerts this summer? I fought with the internet but I somehow managed to wrangle a ticket and VIP pass to the Indianapolis show. I never got to see him on Broadway or at the Glee tour, so I'm kinda freaking out. Thanks to all who are still reading this story, and I would be grateful for any feedback!
ALSO: Me and some of my friends started a Darren Criss fan club on Facebook and we are trying to get as many members as we can before his tour starts. We already have 50+ members in less than 24 hours. Please join and tell all your friends about it! The link will be on my page but it is also here just put in the right punctuation and take out the spaces. Facebook dot com slash groups/604582159571610/
