Kurt lay in bed that night and forced himself to close his eyes. Images of potential outfits chased each other across the back of his eyelids. Now he OFFICIALLY had his first date, and it was with Blaine. He'd spent most of the day mad at the boy but… now that he'd had time to think about it… Blaine was sorta right. Starting something when they couldn't see each other WAS stupid.
However, Blaine LIKED him. He'd admitted that, if it was more practical, Blaine would want to DATE Kurt. That was a total win. Maybe if Kurt got Blaine to like him enough, they could go on more than one date.
Kurt rolled over and smushed his face in his pillow. Bad. Don't think about that. Blaine clearly didn't want to do that to them, so he should be thinking about it either. Blaine was the one with experience in this area; he obviously knew what he was talking about.
Still, he couldn't help but dream about it.
"So, dude, where are you going with Kurt today?" Finn asked after breakfast.
"Oh…" Blaine's heart seized. He hadn't thought about Finn at all. What would Finn think about Blaine doing anything with his little brother? "He's showing me this cool coffee shop." Blaine lied. Finn hated coffee, he wouldn't question this.
"Oh, cool." Finn smiled dopily. "Have fun."
"I will." Blaine smiled. "Call of Duty?"
"Of course!" Finn rolled his eyes and hopped up to get the game. Videogames were Blaine's guilty pleasure, and kind of the reason he bonded with Finn to begin with. The kid had a PS3, X-box Live, Wii, and a DSi. He also had no problem bringing it all to college and letting his new suitemates play with him. Blaine loved Finn sometimes.
"I have a date." Kurt whispered into his phone, almost afraid somebody in the house would hear him. He'd contemplated telling his dad and Carole, but this was close to his heart, special. The only reason he'd even called Mercedes and Rachel on three-way to begin with was that they'd kill him otherwise.
Rachel squealed and Mercedes laughed. "With who?" The black girl asked.
"You know how Finn brought his roommate from college home?" Kurt asked. "Well he's gay and sexy and sweet as hell and he asked me out." Kurt said before they could answer. "His name is Blaine and he's really nice."
"Your brother brings home a boy and you get a boyfriend?" Rachel questioned. "That's like a musical, I wonder if there's one like that. I'd be perfect for the star role of course; it's exactly the type of role I would be perfect for."
"Rachel, step off the Berry-Train for a second and let's get back to our boy." Mercedes said and Kurt could picture her rolling her eyes. "Kurt, tell us everything. How did he ask you?"
"Well… he's not my boyfriend, it's just one date." Kurt explained. "And he made it clear that's it's only GOING to be one date. But that's okay, because he's amazing and such a good kisser and he's so nice to me. Practical too; which is good I guess, if annoying."
"What are you talking about?" Mercedes asked.
"Why only one date?" Rachel added.
"Because he's going back to college tomorrow." Kurt answered. "It sounds… I don't know it sounds bad out of context, but he does like me and well… one date is better than nothing."
"If you can convince him to like you enough you can make it more than one date." Rachel said. "Then you can be star crossed lovers in a tragic long distance relationship."
"Rachel, sometimes you're too dramatic, even for me." Kurt deadpanned. "But he'd right about the long distance thing, it would be bad. I wouldn't see enough of him to REALLY start something. However, getting some practice dating and kissing would be awesome. It's not really something I thought I'd get in this cow town."
"I'm happy for you, baby." Mercedes said. "Now, how do you know he's a good kisser already? What have you been holding out on us about?"
"Oh, good catch I didn't even think about that." Rachel commented. "Kurt, spill."
Kurt blushed.
Never having been to Lima before the weekend, Blaine let Kurt pick the restaurant for their date. They ended up in Breadstix, a little Italian restaurant in the mall that apparently was famous among the kids in town. Blaine made sure to hold Kurt's hand into the place, giving him the full date experience. It didn't hurt that Blaine really liked holding Kurt's hand, his skin was really soft.
"What do people usually talk about on dates?" Kurt asked after they ordered drinks.
Blaine laughed. "Whatever they want, though you usually save the heavy stuff for a later date. I've found it's better not to try and lay all your baggage down on the first date." He winked, enjoying Kurt's blush.
"Oh… um… how's college?" Kurt tried.
"It's good. I'd tell you about classes but… well, you don't have them, I'm afraid I'd bore you. How about we talk about music and stuff. Oh, I saw that you had The Big Gay Musical…" Blaine smiled.
Kurt laughed. "I had too. I saw it in the store and I just…" he trailed off, smiling.
"Combination of everything awesome. Have you seen The Lonely Hearts Club?"
"No…" Kurt cocked his head. "That sounds depressing."
"It's not." Blaine shook his head. "You like romance I've gathered; I think you'd like that one. The side characters are so cute."
"Really?" Kurt's lip poked out in thought. "I'll have to check it out. Got any other suggestions for me, sensei?"
"Sensei?" Blaine quirked an eyebrow. "Into oriental stuff at all?"
"Depends. I am rather fond of swords. I have sais." Kurt shrugged. "I cut myself so many times trying to figure those out."
"Wait, you're Rapael? Oh, I have to see that!" Blaine jumped in his seat excitedly. Kurt gave him a weird look. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Blaine said because it was OBVIOUS.
"I wasn't really into those. I was more a Power Rangers guy." Kurt shrugged. "Giant talking rats wasn't the biggest appeal for me."
"But giant robots were?"
"Hey, I was six and it was the craziest fashion choices I could find on TV. And, despite how effeminate I am, I do rather like violence in my TV shows sometimes. I just don't like it happening to me." Kurt defended himself. "Besides, they had much better dolls. I made Kimberly get married so many times."
Blaine just laughed. The waitress was going to come in a minute for their orders, but he kind of hoped she would take her time with it. Sitting here with Kurt… it was the most fun he'd had in a long time.
