Anonymous asked you:
Are you and Blaine dating?
Apparently Mia isn't the only one who is invested in his and Blaine's new formed friendship.
Just friends!, he replies, slightly amused. He and Blaine had been talking a lot more over the past few days and have become very close, and it seems like quite a few people have noticed.
His amusement grows and turns into confusion when he reads the notes on the published ask not five minutes after it was posted.

There's more similar responses and Kurt isn't sure what to do; he doesn't even follow the majority of the people who replied.
Kurt [12:34] Why do people think we're together?
Blaine [12:37] What, am I not good enough for you, Hummel?
Kurt [12:39] Oh, haha.
[12:40] But srsly, some of my friends think we are, and I had an anon asking!
Blaine [12:41] Really? Strange.
Kurt [12:42] Strange, yes.
Blaine [12:46] I haven't been on tumblr yet today, I just logged on and I have an anon too: "Are you and Kurt dating?"
Kurt [12:47] That's what I got!
Blaine [12:48] Should I just ignore it?
Kurt [12:50] It's up to you. I replied saying we were friends.
[12:52] I don't know why people think that, I mean, we live so far away.
Blaine [12:53] Hmm, I suppose.
Kurt [12:54] What?
Blaine [12:55] Nothing. Just feeling contemplative.
[12:56] Do you not think it could work? Online relationships, I mean.
Kurt [12:59] I don't know, I've never had a relationship on or offline. Do you?
Blaine [1:00] Of course. I think if you really like someone, distance shouldn't stand in the way.
Kurt [1:02] That's a nice way of looking at things.
Blaine [1:04] One of my best friends met his boyfriend online, they've been together three years.
Kurt [1:05] Wow.
Kurt excuses himself to go and have lunch, he hates the way he feels his heart fill with hope, stupid stupid stupid. He shakes his head at himself and prepares his sandwich, he won't let it get him down, he's still Tony.
I realize I didn't do anything when I reached 9000 followers so I thought maybe I'd make a video? if anyone wants to ask me any questions, leave them in my ask. Maybe I'll sing something too? :)
He only receives positive responses and that's how he finds himself sitting in front of his laptop on Sunday night, dressed casual chic (black Prada shirt, skinny silver tie - also Prada, and skin tight grey jeans), smiling into his webcam.
"Hi," he greets happily, waving. "So, first of all thank you, thank you, thank you for following me, I appreciate every one of you so much. You're all crazy." He pauses. "That's a good thing," he adds with a wink.
"I'm going to answer a few questions some of you asked then I will sing - as requested - Something's Coming from West Side Story, as I will be Tony," he tries to suppress a squeal, and fails.
He gives a nervous laugh, and responds to some of the things left in his ask box, he breezes through - How are you always so fabulous?, Where do you get your clothes?!, Biggest dream?, How does it feel to have nine thousand followers?, Closest friends on here? - having read them before in preparation, the answers come easy.
"Anonymous asked how I got so many followers, I actually bribed them all with cookies," he stage whispers behind his hand, and he takes a deep breath before asking the next one. It's the one he is most reluctant to read out, but it was asked by Mia and she threatened various methods of torture if he failed to do so.
"The lovely Mia asked, wait for it, 'Are you and Blaine together yet?'," he sighs and rolls his eyes. "No. Let me set the story straight once and for all. Myself and Blaine - warblerbda - are friends. Just friends. I'm very lucky to have gotten to know him but there is nothing going on there."
He doesn't linger his thoughts on the question and quickly moves on to the next. The next is incidentally the last, and also from Blaine. He smiles and looks back up from where he has the questions written down.
"Last but of course not least, is from warblerbda himself who left more of an essay than a question. I quote: 'Hello Kurtis'," Kurt breaks off with a snort, "'Kurtis' - really, Blaine? Sorry, I'll continue, 'I would first of all like to say that I am very proud of you for getting Tony, you really really deserve it,'" - don't blush don't blush don't blush - "'and I would love it if you could tell me what the hell sai swords are? Thank you and good night, from Blaine.'," Kurt stops and lets out a laugh. "You complete and utter dork," he whispers looking straight into the camera.
He has his sai's ready, so instead of answering, he says vaguely, "Thank you Blaine, and everyone else. Here's Something's Coming." He clicks play on the instrumental version of the song he pre-loaded and sings.
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock
Open the latch
He picks up his sai's and twirls them to the beats of the music, he winks at the camera when he holds a long note, hoping that Blaine knows it's for him.
Once he's done, he gives a bow and a slightly awkward goodbye before watching the video over and over again. He has to redo some bits due to a fault in the audio or him messing up, but by midnight he has a complete and edited video to post.
Blaine [12:45] That was adorable,
[12:45] You're adorable.
[12:46] And the sai's...wow.
Kurt bites his lip to keep the smile that is threatening to take over his now red face at bay. The video has only been up for about thirty minutes and it already has over sixty notes, Kurt has also had plenty of asks from people complimenting him and this isn't the first time he's been called adorable, but Blaine is still the only one who makes him feel like a cliché teenage girl inside.
Kurt [12:49] :) thank you.
Blaine [12:51] You're very welcome. A video is a good idea, I might do one at my next follower 'milestone.'
Kurt [12:52] How many do you have?
Blaine [12:54] Followers? I'm about 200 away from 10,000.
Kurt [12:55] That's a lot! You should just do a video anyway, I've only ever seen one picture of you.
Video Call from Blaine Anderson
Kurt stares. Blaine has invited him to... He blinks, shocked. The pointer hovers over accept but he can't bring himself to click it, everything suddenly feels more real because this is Blaine and Kurt will actually be able to see him...
The ringing stops and Kurt can't deny his disappointment.
Blaine [1:03] Kurt?
[1:05] I'm sorry was that too... forward?
Kurt takes a deep breath and types.
Kurt [1:08] No, it's fine, I'm sorry you just took me by surprise, a little warning would have been nice.
Blaine [1:09] ...so you do want to see me? ;)
Kurt [1:11] Dork. Fine! Give me five minutes.
Blaine [1:11] Perfect.
Kurt minimizes Skype and gets his webcam up to check himself. He looks fine - his hair is still styled and he's still dressed from when he did the video earlier. He sends Blaine I'm ready, and suddenly his heart is beating so fast and his palms are so sweaty and -
Video Call from Blaine Anderson
He brushes a stray piece of hair off of his forehead quickly before the connection establishes and Kurt tries to remember how to breathe.
"Hi," Kurt hears just as Blaine's webcam comes into focus and Kurt tries to stop an internal freak out in order to make himself reply.
(His voice is so smooth and his face is perfect that picture did not do him any justice oh my god -)
"Hi," Kurt manages to squeak out before clearing his throat and trying again. "Hi," he says and he smiles, satisfied.
Blaine gives a deep chuckle and his smile makes his eyes crinkle at the corners and Kurt does not swoon.
"Hi. How are you, Kurt?"
"Huh? Oh! I'm fine, how are you?"
Blaine smiles and seems amused with the way Kurt is reacting and Kurt isn't even sure if he has blinked yet.
"You seem nervous, don't be so nervous," Blaine says in a soothing voice and Kurt tries to do just that.
After a few deep breaths he manages to hold conversation with Blaine and it stops being so awkward, they talk about anything and everything just like they do through Tumblr asks or Skype IM's, it's only different because Kurt can see Blaine's (gorgeous, gorgeous) expressive face.
"Hey, Mia is your friend right? Miameyou?" Blaine asks after they stop laughing at a story Blaine was telling about one of his dance teachers at NYADA.
Kurt suddenly doesn't like the way the conversations is going, What has she done now? "Yeah, why?" he asks hesitantly.
"No reason, just she started following me before and I just got an email telling me she left me something in my ask box."
"What did she say?"
"I don't know, I didn't want to be rude by checking it while I'm talking to you."
"Go ahead," Kurt reassures, laughing lightly.
"Okay, give me a minute," Blaine replies and Kurt watches as Blaine must minimize Skype and go on to Tumblr. Blaine sticks his tongue out of the corner of his mouth a little in concentration and Kurt has to bite his lip to hold a laugh in - if anything, Blaine is the adorable one.
After a few minutes the screen light against Blaine's face gets brighter and Kurt assumes he has clicked back onto Skype. "Hey, sorry about that," Blaine says, smiling.
"It's fine, what did it say?" Kurt asks, eager to know.
"Nothing bad, don't worry. She was just saying hello. It's nearly three in the morning, where did the time go?"
"I have to be up for school soon!"
"Are you leaving me?" Blaine pouts, his eyes wide and shining.
"You're ridiculous," Kurt laughs. "I should, but no."
Blaine smiles wide and Kurt can't help but laugh harder. "When do rehearsals start for West Side Story?"
"Wednesday. I'm so excited," Kurt says struggling to stay still, he's only known for just over a week that he's going to be Tony and every time he is reminded it makes him so happy. Elaine had contacted him a few days earlier with a copy of the rehearsing schedule. "It's going to be every Wednesday and Thursday evenings, all day Saturdays and Sundays."
"Wow, that's going to be pretty hectic."
"But worth it. It's not long before it opens, the dates haven't been announced yet but I think it will be early next month."
"That's amazing, Kurt. I should probably get going now, let you sleep," Blaine says with a sad smile on his face.
"Yeah, probably. Okay then, well it was nice talking to you Blaine, speak to you soon?" Kurt asks unsure.
"Of course," Blaine says with a charming smile. "Speak soon. Good night Kurt."
