Chapter 4:
That night Kurt dreamt of a Hazel eyed boy. How much of a coincidence was it that the random number that had texted Kurt was in fact Blaine!? It was just so bizarre. He awoke around 7am still thinking of Blaine.
It was Saturday so Kurt didn't have any plans besides homework. He decided to get an early start on the day and went down for breakfast.
After around 2pm the day had become so mundane that Kurt actually decided to do his homework instead of procrastinating. But the dreaded subject of Calculus was giving Kurt a headache and he hadn't even started. After 3 failed problems Kurt threw his pencil across the room in frustration.
Just then his phone buzzed from the nightstand.
212-353-4573
Hi! :)
Kurt starred down at his phone. This was Blaine. Blaine was texting him. Heart pounding and suddenly feeling sweaty, Kurt typed back with shaking hands.
Kurt:
Hi Blaine! Glad to hear from you.
Should Kurt have added a smiley face too!? Was it too much? But then again Blaine had added one… overthinking was a nightmare.
Blaine:
I'm well, thanks! I just wanted to make sure you got home alright last night?
Kurt:
Perfectly safe, thanks to my hero who showed me to the bus stop :)
Blaine:
Jeff? Nah, he's more of the "right place, right time" kind of guy. I'm the "knight in shining armor" kind, or so I've been told ;)
Kurt:
Hmm, and here I was thinking you were the "angry psycho" type from when you last texted me
Was Blaine flirting with him?
Blaine:
I'm still reeling from that. I cannot believe I met the wrong number, like how freaky is that? That never happens in real life.
I hope you don't actually think I'm a psycho…I actually had a second intention when texting you right now.
Kurt:
I completely agree, it's pretty bizarre.
Oh? And that would be…?
Kurt waited a few heartbeats as the message bubble appeared and disappeared. He was getting more and more anxious the longer Blaine took to reply.
Blaine:
I was wondering if you would like to take a stroll with me through Central Park tomorrow? I promise I'm not a serial killer or like a dangerous psycho!
It was just nice talking to you yesterday and I'd love to get to know you.
Kurt's insides were doing a happy dance. The happiest dance ever. There was something about Blaine that got Kurt's adrenaline rushing and the butterflies in his stomach were taking over. He had never felt this with Adam. Liam was a different story, he was pretty sure that it was infatuation that he felt with Liam, not love. That infatuation took a while whereas the infatuation he felt with Blaine was instant. It was almost certainly not a good sign to feel this way about a boy he literally JUST met. This story screamed heartbreak. But then again…
Kurt:
I would love to take a stroll in Central Park with you Blaine :)
It was lovely meeting you and I'd like to get to know you better too.
Blaine:
Awesome! How about we meet at Columbus Circle on 59th street at 10am? I'd love to take you out to lunch as well. On a date just to be clear.
Kurt:
I would love to! I'll be there :)
Blaine:
Perfect, see you tomorrow Kurt.
Kurt:
See you tomorrow.
Kurt put his phone down and starred at his reflection in the mirror in front of him. His whole face was red and he was blushing from head to toe. His hands were shaking and his heart was rapidly going into tachycardia. Blaine asked Kurt out…on a date…to Central Park. This had to be some elaborate dream state that he had entered. Well if that was the case, Kurt hoped to never wake up. Now it was all about how he would actually get to Central Park at 10am on a Sunday. He could lie to his dad again but there had to be a better way. And like lightning, it hit Kurt that Finn owed him.

"Please Finn! I covered for you and Rachel yesterday, you owe me! And what exactly is it going to cost you anyway!? You can just hang out with Rachel while I hang out with my friend." Kurt was actually pleading with Finn. What a new low. But if it meant getting to Blaine tomorrow then Kurt would gladly get on his knees and beg Finn if he had to.
"I don't know Kurt, whenever I take Rachel to the city, she kinda goes a little crazy for the next few days. It's exhausting. And we had a really nice night last night, I don't even know if her parents will let her go out twice in one weekend. They're kind of strict." Finn was sitting on his bed with his phone thinking over the risks and benefits of Kurt's plan.
"Please Finn. Just tell Rachel to tell her parents she's going to the mall or something, I'll cover for her. Please." Kurt was getting desperate as it looked like Finn was verging on no.
Finn looked up at Kurt and his desperate expression, rolled his eyes and answered, "Fine! I'll work it out and we can go."
Kurt grabbed Finn in a bear hug and squeezed him until Finn had to physically remove Kurt.

Later that night Kurt and Finn informed Burt that they were planning to go to the city for the day and with his father's approval, Kurt skipped up the stairs to pick out an outfit for the occasion.
