Taking some inspiration from his high school years, Kurt decided to go with simple but sophisticated, if that even made sense. Once he felt that the his plain black tie was properly tied into a Half-Windsor, he gave himself a proper look in the mirror. Calvin came up beside Kurt and straightened the collar of his red dress shirt. They decided on red mainly because it brought out Kurt's magnificent hair, which was perfectly coifed especially for this night only. It took them almost an hour just to get every single strand to follow their command, and after it all, Kurt looked amazing. Now all that was needed was a jacket.
Kurt looked at the time and saw that it was already half past six, and Calvin was still in his apartment. "Oh dear God, Blaine'll be here any minute!" And with that, Kurt ran around his apartment looking for last minute things he was supposed to have. Basic things like his cell phone, his keys and mainly, his wallet were put immediately inside his pockets. Calvin just stood there like a mannequin as Kurt got ready, swaying around, not really sure what else to do. Kurt gave him a slight glance, gauging what the younger Hummel should do. The countertenor stood straight and gave Calvin an exasperated sigh. "What are you waiting for? Go!" Kurt shooed the shorter boy away. "Oh, and check if Blaine's already outside ok?" He said before putting on his coat and checking his teeth.
Calvin exited the apartment. He felt as if Kurt just took advantage of him, but right now he didn't really care. He was just happy that Kurt had an actual date with someone he knew he could probably trust. To clear off his head, Calvin stuck out his tongue at the closed door, only to have Kurt open it a few seconds after. "Oh and Cal I…" Kurt just stood there staring at Calvin. The boy's tongue stayed out. He waved hello at Kurt who just slowly closed the door, not really wanting to know what Calvin was doing.
The teenager walked out of the building expecting a chill, but for some reason, the temperature was about right. There was no wind, so it was basically the perfect night to go for a walk. As per Kurt's instructions, Calvin looked around the block, searching for Mr. Anderson, or Blaine as he should probably start calling him. That felt weird though, calling a teacher by their first name. Calvin smiled to himself when he saw a small faint light of the luminescent numbers and symbols inside his teacher's car light the darkness. He took his phone out to text Kurt before heading home.
He's here. Oh, and it's not that cold. You can ditch the jacket. The outfit looks better without it anyway. -C
Kurt heard Blaine's familiar knocking on the door. Following Calvin's advice, he hung the jacket inside his walk-in-closet and just went for the red dress shirt, black tie and black skinny jeans. He put on his matching fedora at the back, carefully putting it down on his head so that the coif at the front wouldn't be ruined. Another set of knocks came, and Kurt hurriedly brushed off any creases on his shirt before deciding he was ready.
Kurt opened the door with a smile, ready as he'll ever be. In front of him stood a shorter but magnificent looking man who just stared at him for the first couple of seconds. Of course, Kurt couldn't help himself either. "Uh, I uh… Uh…" Blaine managed to get out, sort of, handing Kurt a single lavender rose. "Hi."
Kurt put his hand on his chest at the gesture, giving the man a grateful smile. He took the rose and wrapped his arm around Blaine's as they walked out of his apartment in comfortable silence.
"So, what are we doing?" Kurt asked as he sat in the passenger seat of Blaine's car. He put the rose on the space between them, near the parking brake of the car, slowly placing it downwards as if it was made of glass.
Blaine put on his seatbelt before answering Kurt. "Don't worry, it's a surprise."
Kurt held his breath as he rolled his eyes in excitement. "Ok." If his giddy laugh wasn't a clue to his pure joy, the small vibrations of his arms surely was. Blaine smiled at his date before putting the key into its slot and turning the ignition.
"A movie?" Kurt asked as Blaine parked the car in the almost filled parking lot. After a few minutes of searching, they finally found one that was very far from the theater entrance. "What are we watching?" He asked, pulling Blaine's arm close to his, feeling a slight wafting breeze.
"You haven't been here before?" Just be the tone Blaine used to ask him, the high school teacher may have gone here already. It was suspicious and exciting at the same time.
"No, not really. Why?" Kurt looked around, and wondered why there were a lot of cars parked in the small space the parking lot allowed. The movie theater looked rather old. Kurt thought that it might just be a design choice, but upon closer inspection, it really was a relic from the eighties.
"Oh, no reason, I thought you would have." Blaine looked away and focused on where they were going.
"Why? have you?"
"Yeah, once, when I was in college."
"So what happens here anyway?" Kurt asked before looking up at the lettered sign that was above the doorway. His eyes grew at the title of the movie they were going to watch. "Grease? Do my eyes deceive me? Does that sign say Grease all over in black and white?" Kurt pointed over to the sign multiple times with his finger while his other arm was crushing Blaine's own. The man simply ignored Kurt's reaction, though he reveled in his date's excitement. A smile donned Blaine's face as he gave the person behind the counter his their tickets.
The inside of the movie theater was very spacious to say the least. The central aisle was spacious for five people to walk through without bumping, and the front was very open as well. The two went and sat where there was available space left. Kurt thought how lucky it was that a pair of seats were found near the aisle and not too close to the screen.
They sat there, waiting for the movie to begin. The audience became restless, everyone talking and being loud, but Kurt didn't mind. Instead, he decided to make his second move on Blaine, tilting his head to the side so that he was leaning on Blaine's shoulder. The two stayed silent, enjoying each other's presence.
Soon enough, the Paramount logo started to play, and the sound of the beach waves could be heard throughout the movie theater. The audience became quiet. For Kurt this was probably the most amazing moment of his life. Usually, his dates were filled with him talking, trying to fill the void of silence that managed to creep up every single time, but on this one, the silence was comfortable. Nothing could be better.
As Danny and Sandy had fun on the beach, Kurt thought how fun it would be to do those things too, but sadly, they were nowhere near one, and the lake was too far a drive. He held on to Blaine's hand as he thought about it, not really focusing his eyes at anything.
Blaine wondered if he should even talk after Kurt took his hand in his. He should know what to do, but apparently, it was the time to look around for Kurt. For some odd reason, Kurt was avoiding eye contact, his eyes always focused on something else. But before Blaine could say anything, the opening credits started to roll, and the audience started singing along to the title song.
Kurt jumped up a little bit and looked around. He saw that most of the people were singing along. He looked at Blaine who just grinned sang along as well. Sure it wasn't expected, he thought that it would just be a regular scene, people silently singing to themselves as the movie ran, but he guessed that since most of the people here were super fans as well, they would be singing too.
The movie was beginning to end as the notes for "We Go Together" started playing. Blaine looked around, and like he predicted, everyone was standing up. Kurt rolled his eyes around with curiosity. Blaine stood up and held out his hand, which Kurt took, helping him stand up as well. "Blaine, What's going on?"
"The best part."
We go together like
rama lama lama
ke ding a de dinga a dong
remembered forever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom
Blaine sang causing a riot inside the theater. He held Kurt's hand and led them towards the very front of the room.
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
That's the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!
Blaine urged Kurt to sing the next few lines as he sang. Kurt shook his head feeling a little bit nervous that they were basically singing in front of many people. Kurt hasn't done this in a while so it was perfectly natural. After a few more pushes, Kurt gave in.
We're one of a kind
Like dip di-dip di-dip
Doo-bop a doo-bee doo
Our names are signed
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
boog-e-dy
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
We'll always be like one
Wa-wa-wa-waaa!
The room was now filled with many a dancing fanatics who surrounded the two with smiles on their faces, clapping along to the beat.
When we go out at night
And stars are shinin' bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance
Where you can find romance
Maybe it might be lo-oh oh oh-oh oh-ove
Blaine continued as he held, Kurt's hand twirling themselves around, everyone else around them following the chaotic choreography of the film.
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding a da ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-ed-y
Shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-y boom de boom
Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding-a de ding de dong
Shoo-bop sha wad-da wad-da yipp-it-y boom de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
Dip da-dip da-dip doo-wop da doo-bee doo
Boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy boog-e-dy
shoo-by doo-wop she-bop
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-na yip-pit-ty boom de boom
Laughter filled the room as the song itself came to an end. Blaine and Kurt held each other's hands as they sang the last lines, everyone else following them closely behind as they headed out the theater.
We're for each other like
A wop ba-ba lu-mop and wop bam boom
Just like my brother is
Sha na na na na na yip-pit-y dip de boom
Chang chang chang-it-ty chang shoo-bop
We'll always be together
Wha oooh yeah!
We'll always, be together
We'll always be together
We'll always be together
"Wow." Kurt exclaimed as he sat down in Blaine's car. He ran his palm down his stomach, straightening the fabric, as he looked in front. Most of the cars were lighting up ready to leave.
"Did you have fun?" Blaine asked looking at Kurt with a small grin.
"Are you kidding me?" His tone was rather serious, as if Blaine had done something wrong. "That was the most fun first date I've ever had!" He quickly jumped up from his seat, almost bumping into the top of the car.
The car ride back to Lima was filled with excited talk about the movie. Kurt continuously commented on their choices of clothing, but left it with what was popular back then. Even so, it was still very much disappointing. He was glad that style did not change dramatically since they were both in high school, because if it had, then he wouldn't know where to put all the clothes he owned.
Blaine and Kurt walked up to Kurt's apartment hand in hand, both not really paying attention to anything at the moment. The taller man looked around the hallways, wondering what else he would say. It was weird though, he always had something to say, but with Blaine, it was as if his brain had gone on meltdown every time they were alone. Not that it was terrible, he actually liked it.
They stopped by the door. Blaine reached in for a hug, which Kurt immediately accepted. Kurt laughed behind Blaine's ear, causing the other man to pull away with a smile. "What's so funny?"
"You smell like popcorn." Kurt bowed his head in embarrassment.
"And you, smell like…" Blaine inched closer and took a whiff of Kurt, his eyes dramatically rolled to the back, causing Kurt to lightly tap his shoulder. "butterscotch" Blaine continued.
"Hmm, butterscotch?"
"Yeah, you know the candy?"
"I know what butterscotch is!" He gave a small chuckle as he held Blaine's hands with his own. The pause that happened soon after was brief. "I had fun."
"Yeah, me too."
"So, uh" Blaine chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "I guess I'll see-" He was stopped by a weird feeling on his lips. He straightened his vision to see that Kurt's face was right in front of him, like right in front of him. There was no space at all between them, their forms connected lips to lips. Kurt backed away, with a look of pure surprise.
"Oh God." He exclaimed, covering his mouth. "I'm sorry." The fact that Blaine didn't react at all meant that Blaine didn't want to kiss. The countertenor felt instant guilt when he saw Blaine look at him with those unsure hazel eyes. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to Blaine-"
"Hey, Kurt it's all right. I kinda liked it." Kurt's guilt instantly turned into surprise again as Blaine placed his hand behind the taller man's neck, pulling him closer for another kiss.
"Aah!" A yell from behind Kurt's door surprised them. It wasn't like anyone was in trouble, but it sounded more like an excited yell.
They immediately broke their second kiss. Kurt pulled his keys out of his pockets and opened the door to see three teenagers sitting on his couch.
"Calvin, Alexis, Sam! Out!" They hastily exited the room, giddy as ever. Kurt gave all of them his famous stare as they went down the hall. He looked up at Blaine who was somewhat flustered himself. "Well that killed the moment."
I'm crying right now! I just hope it was what you expected because this was the hardest chapter to write! TT_TT.
Next Chapter: Alice's weekend tutoring plus maybe other unplanned stuff
