[I don't own Glee or any of the characters. Let me know what you think so far :) ]
After Blaine's bizarre mental freak out at dinner the other night, which he blamed the atrocious meal on, he invited Kurt to dinner after Warbler practice on Friday. They were now driving toward a small diner about half an hour from Dalton. Since Kurt didn't have his car or permit, Blaine drove them in his 2015 black mustang. In response to Kurt's raised eyebrow at the extravagant car, Blaine blushed and explained, "It was a present from my dad on my 16th birthday this summer."
Kurt often forgot that Blaine was a year older than him and quietly wondered if Blaine had been held back, which would explain his intellect. As they were driving Kurt decided to ask Blaine.
"Actually my mom enrolled me into school a year late. I spent a year in Italy with my dad's family while both my parents were finishing medical school."
"Wow both you parents are doctors?!" Kurt had never met the Andersons but he knew Blaine was pretty well off based on his car and clothing.
"Yup. Dad's a cardiologist and Mom's an Anesthesiologist. They work at the same hospital and often have late night shifts so I was sent to live with my grandparents while they finished their training."
"What about your brother- what's his name⦠Cooper?"
"Yeah, he was in high school already and boarding at UCLA so I never saw him."
"When I lived with Finn I used to secretly hope he would go abroad somewhere else." Kurt laughed because of the irony that now he missed the big goof.
Blaine let out a small laugh, "When did you guys start living together?"
"In the middle of our freshman year. Our parents got married during Christmas break last year and ever since then, we've grown closer."
They made it to the small diner and went inside to grab a window table. There were a few teenage girls sitting at the stools near the counter and an elderly couple seated three tables in front of them. Kurt and Blaine sat opposite each other, placed their orders, and were discussing the newest issue of Vogue when a petite blond from the group of girls walked over toward their table with a coffee in her hands. Kurt narrowed his eyes are her and watched with a small smirk as she approached Blaine. She smiled and set the coffee down in front of Blaine who stared up with wide eyes.
"Hi, thought I'd buy you a drink on my way out. Let me know if you want to repay the favor someday." She spoke in a sultry voice and winked before leaving with the other girls.
Kurt stared at Blaine who had the most adorably confused look on his face.
"I feel obligated to call her now and buy her coffee. I didn't even get to say thank you." Kurt laughed at how polite Blaine was.
"Just forget her, or call her and tell her you're gay and hang up." Blaine rolled his eyes at Kurt's response and they continued their dinner eventually leaving around 8pm.
The entire drive back, Kurt's mind was racing and his feelings of jealousy would not calm down. First John and now this. Blaine was becoming his best friend and Kurt definitely didn't want to get stuck in the 'friends zone' as people liked to call it. He really had no chance with Blaine but it didn't hurt any less. After they parked and walked toward their dorm, Kurt decided that having Blaine as his friend was better than nothing and his heart would just have to adapt. They ended up watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in Blaine's dorm with Kurt cuddled next to Blaine on his bed. Admittedly, Kurt had stared at Blaine rather than the movie itself noticing how Blaine's eyes lit up when Harry's wand shot out a spell, or how his face fell when a beloved character died at the end. Yup, Kurt was in deep like (maybe love?) with Blaine.
It was a little past curfew when Kurt sprinted back into his dorm. He opened the door to find Nick with his face attached to a stranger. After his initial shock, Kurt cleared his throat and the two boys broke apart with the stranger grabbing his coat and fleeing the room. Kurt crossed his arms and frowned at Nick who suddenly decided he was very sleepy and passed out right there. Kurt sighed and decided the enquiry could wait until morning.
That morning however, Nick had left bright and early to volunteer at a children's reading with Jeff. Kurt had no plans for the weekend except homework so he went down to the dining hall after his shower to eat breakfast and then get to work.
Kurt arrived and stopped in his tracks when he spotted Blaine sitting at a table with John eating pancakes. Suddenly John leaned over and pecked Blaine's cheek before leaving. Kurt suddenly lost his appetite and was turning around when Blaine called out his name. Great. Might as well eat now. He grabbed a bowl of cereal and an apple and dropped into the seat John was in.
"Good thing you're here. I need to ask you something." Kurt nodded to show he was paying attention. "That was John here, and yeah you know John. I really think he likes me and I've got a bit of a crush on him so I need your advice on how to ask him out."
Kurt stared wide eyed and forced himself to not cry. He was not a child. No. He was a good friend. So Kurt bit his lip and put in his two cents.
"You could just go up to him and ask straight out."
"Nah, that's too plain. I kind of want to sing to him. Like a serenade. Is that lame?"
"No, that's actually beautiful."
Blaine smiled even wider, "Great! So I was thinking 'Teenage Dream' by Katy Perry. The Warblers sang it and I think I did pretty well with it, remember you heard it on your spying mission?" Blaine winked.
Kurt was fuming. WHAT. He had always thought of 'Teenage Dream' as his and Blaine's song. When Kurt spied on the Warblers last year, this song was what consumed his life because of the handsome boy who had sung it. It was even Kurt's ringtone for Blaine and it was the song that made him fall in love instantly. How could Blaine use it to serenade some random guy? Kurt suddenly felt heartbreak for the very first time in his young life.
"You sing that song beautifully." Kurt whispered.
Blaine smiled his megawatt smile, "Thanks! I'm going to brainstorm some more this weekend but I'll let you know which song I decide. Oh and if you want to study together today I'm going to the library after this, want to join me?"
"Finn's actually taking me home this weekend so I need to pack. I'll see you Monday." Kurt gave a weak smile and fled without looking back. He felt the tears coming.
Blaine stared after Kurt, hand still mid hair in a goodbye, confused about his sudden departure. At least now he could focus on the song to serenade John with. 'Teenage Dream' was always a hit with people, he definitely knew Kurt had liked it. Blaine walked towards the music room and sang the song through on the piano in the corner of the room. While singing, Blaine had a clear picture in his head of John's surprised face and tears streaming down his face while Blaine proclaimed his love. Into the second chorus, suddenly John's face was replaced with bright wide blue eyes and chestnut hair. Kurt had looked so in awe that day he came to spy that Blaine had just stared at Kurt the entire song. He even felt as if he were singing to only Kurt that day. They always blast that song on the radio whenever it came on and every time Blaine would belt out the lyrics, Kurt would always stay silent and stare at Blaine singing. Blaine tried to teach Kurt the lyrics because he thought Kurt didn't know them. Suddenly, 'Teenage Dream' felt personal and Blaine quickly decided then and there that he would have to come up with another song choice.
Meanwhile, Kurt was frantically calling Finn to come pick him up. After reassuring his brother that nothing was wrong and that Kurt just really missed his dad, Finn picked up Kurt and together they drove home to Lima.
