Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope this chapter makes you warm and fuzzy. :)

Blaine returned to his apartment, the bow tie Kurt made him hanging on the doorknob. Cooper even left a note on a Post-It.

Hope the date went well! Now you can wear this. ;)

Thanks Cooper. Jerkoff.

He opened his front door to Cupcake bounding towards him, her tail wagging furiously.

"Don't think I forgot your betrayal, Cupcake." Blaine muttered. He didn't even bother hanging his coat up, just dropping it on the floor, "You're still fired from being my dog."

Cupcake just barked and turned back towards Blaine's bedroom. Judas.

Blaine sighed and followed her, dreading already the mess he found himself in.

He felt his phone buzz in his pocket and absently he pulled it out and answered, "Hello?"

"Hello is this Blaine Anderson?"

Blaine blinked a couple times. He hasn't had anyone call him and greet him in ages. Even the newspapers and magazines tended to say Mr. Anderson or something more formal.

"Uhhh...yes? I'm not taking any interviews at this time-"

"Oh silly Blaine! No this is Rachel not a magazine or something."

Oh. Rachel.

"I just wondered how you were doing since our last talk. Sorry I kind of ran out like that! My roommate doesn't ever tell me about his crushes, usually all we talk about is his hook ups and boyfriends, but lately he's been surprisingly celibate and he wouldn't admit that it was this new guy he's been talking to."

Blaine wondered how she managed to breath the entire time.

"But when he texted me he was about two seconds away from calling for a booty call and I had to help him ignore that, then he told me that yes it was this boy he's been talking to and-oh! Gotta go, he's walking into the apartment, just got back from a date- What do you mean it wasn't a date you-"

The phone hung up before she could finish that sentence. Blaine shrugged and dropped his phone on the nightstand. She never made sense.

Blaine didn't get to see Kurt that afternoon.

This confused Blaine, since it seemed that Kurt didn't really work that much, but when he woke up that morning (and pushed Cupcake off his chest, she was too heavy to pull the cute puppy thing anymore), there was a text from Kurt.

From: Kurt Hummel 6:13 a.m.

I promise I'm not flaking out, I just got called in for an emergency, can't do park. Dinner still tonight?

Blaine smiled and texted back the affirmative. He stretched his still-slumbered arms over his head until they grazed the wall above him.

Cupcake stretched her body next to his and jumped off the bed, circling herself towards the door. She was pretty good at waiting for Blaine to wake up a little more and grab a cup of coffee before trotting with him to the normal bench, which Blaine was grateful for. He still dreaded waking up one day and finding a puddle on the floor, but so far the few hours she spends outside around noon and dinner time calms her enough to not pee in his apartment.

He grunted and got out of bed. It was time to start his day.

It's a good thing that Blaine did get up, because not twenty minutes later, Cooper comes in.

"Blainers! You up yet?"

Blaine looked up from his book and he groaned, "Cooper."

Cooper sat on the couch next to him and took the book out of his hands, "I have a quick question for you."

He looked at his book with remorse, "I don't have any answers for you."

"Cute, Blaine. Really cute." Cooper didn't even miss a beat, "How'd your date go last night?"

Blaine darted his eyes to him, "Uhh...fine?"

"You sure? Cause I heard rumors that it was with a guy."

Blaine blinked a couple times, "Uhhh...how'd you hear that?"

Cooper just waved a hand, "Got friends everywhere, dancers, waiters, not the point." He turned his body to Blaine and took his hand, "Blaine, I know that I'm over bearing, but you shouldn't have to lie to me about a date."

Blaine blinked a couple more times. "What?"

Cooper sighed, "Look I don't know why you were on an outing last night, but really you have potential to get any girls you want so-"

Blaine held up his hand, "Wait, so I can't be on a date with a guy?"

Cooper threw her head back and laughed, "Oh Blaine, you're not gay."

"I...what?"

Cooper waved his hand again, "I grew up with you, moved to New York with you when you started your business-"

The 'supported you over our parents' went unsaid.

"-and you've never made any indication that you were gay."

Blaine stood and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water, Cooper unfortunately following him. "Coop, I don't really think my love life is your business anyways."

"I know that." Cooper replied, leaning up against the counter next to the sink where Blaine was filling up his glass, "I just don't think you understand what I'm trying to say."

"I don't think YOU understand what you're trying to say-"

"Blaine." Cooper took Blaine's wrist and made Blaine pause, "Just...I would prefer that you don't lie to me alright? If you want a break from me, just say it."

Blaine tried to keep a straight face, "Cooper I want a break from you."

"Cute Blaine. Really cute." Cooper smiled, "I'll leave you to your day then." He winked and left the apartment, patting Cupcake on the head before closing the door.

Blaine looked at Cupcake again, "You're a horrible guard dog. Bite him next time."

Cupcake just barked again and wagged her tail.

He wanted this day to stop going so fast.

Well, at the beginning, it was dragging. It felt like his whole life was slowly slowing down more and more as he watched the seconds tick by on his phone. Until suddenly it was 6:59 and he was standing outside Kurt's apartment building. The car ride over seemed to take no time at all and Blaine wondered if maybe he was suffering some time shifting curse or something. The buzzer buzzed Blaine in and a quick check to the doorbells showed Kurt in apartment 4. He climbed the stairs and in no time at all, he was standing in front of Kurt's door.

He raised his shaking fist, but the door opened before he could try to knock. And there stood Kurt.

Carreras bound out between Kurt's legs, but Blaine paid him no mind. He saw Kurt last night, but he still somehow missed him. Kurt was wearing one of his more simpler outfits, but it still looked stunning on him. His smile was what made Blaine's heart skip a couple beats though.

"Come in!" Kurt said with a flourish of his hand through his doorway.

Inside, there was a table set up with some candles and a full meal spread laid out. Blaine's mouth watered at some of what was offered, "Kurt this looks delicious."

Kurt walked over to one of the chairs and pulled it out, "Thanks, I've been working on it all day."

"Really?"

Kurt grinned, "Yeah, finding the number for this catering company took me ages man, you have no idea."

Blaine laughed and sat down at the table, Kurt following suit just next to him.

"So where's your roommate?" Blaine was quite curious on why they were alone.

"Oh she had some...acting thing." He shook his head, "She's a full-time actress, but she volunteers at some LGBT community thing. They're traveling around Vermont or Connecticut or something. She didn't focus on that when she told me."

Blaine snorted. That kind of sounded like Kurt's roommate from what he told Blaine.

"Anyways." Kurt continues, "That's not the important thing. The important thing is to eat all this food before I have to." He grinned and dove into the serving dishes, Blaine right behind him.

Eating with Kurt in his home was so much better than eating at the restaurant. There was a layer of casual that was absent from their dinner the night previous. And really it made Blaine calm and collected.

That is, until dessert.

"So I actually think there's something we need to talk about." Kurt set his fork down and turned his whole body towards him, "Blaine, this person that you like now..."

He gulped, "Yeah?"

Kurt took a deep breath, "Does he know that you're...confused?"

Blaine licked his lips, "I...yeah he does."

Kurt nodded. He took Blaine's hand, "Have you ever...kissed a guy before?"

Blaine blinked, "Uh...No?"

Kurt's lips quirked into a smirk, "Do you want to kiss him?"

"Yes."

Kurt's smirk turned to a full blown smile, "Want to kiss him now?"

Before Kurt could get an answer, Blaine darted across the distance and kissed the question off his lips.

Blaine hasn't kissed many people in his life. The first person he kissed was Lisa Grumby, when he was 13 years old, and she had accidentally bit his lip when she opened her mouth. The second was Tyra Smith, and she did it while she was wasted at 16. After moving to New York, he kissed a couple girls but never did he go first.

Kissing Kurt left all of them in the dust. Kissing Kurt felt like he saw a rainbow for the first time, like eating his favorite food, like Christmas morning when he was little.

Kurt took over the kiss pretty quickly too, turning his head to allow Blaine to sink in before prying his mouth open with his tongue. Kurt's tongue didn't completely dive inside, just barely licking the inside of Blaine's lips to remind him that he was really doing this; that he was really here with Kurt and not someone else.

Blaine felt himself melting all that much more.

When Kurt finally pulled away, Blaine gave out a little whimper that Kurt chuckled at. Blaine drew his face away a little more and looked into Kurt's slightly darkened eyes.

Kurt licked his lips again and smirked, "Are you sure you want to..."

"Yes." Blaine gasped out, "I've never wanted anything more in my life."

Kurt smiled shyly and stood up. He took Blaine's hand in his and started walking him to what must be his bedroom. Blaine started doing a happy dance internally. He put his mind past Cooper and what happened with his parents and past love life. Tonight was just for him, he could always figure out the rest later.
