Blaine and Kurt sat in the dimly lit restaurant, staring longingly into each other's eyes. Kurt had invited Blaine over for dinner, but didn't feel like cooking, so here they were. This place was way fancier than anything they had been to in a while. The menu was only one page, mounted on some sort of wooden or heavy-duty cardboard plank, there were candles, and they were both wearing suit jackets. The waiter came with their food. Kurt had ordered baked chicken, but Blaine had ordered something else. Halfway through their meal, Kurt decided to question Blaine. "What exactly did you order again?" Kurt asked.
"Calamari. Ever had it?" Blaine asked.
"No. Never even heard of it," Kurt replied.
"Want to try it?" Blaine asked. Kurt shrugged. The little brown rings looked harmless. He chose a small one with his fork and popped it into his mouth.
"Not bad. What is it?" Kurt asked.
"Squid," Blaine said reluctantly. Kurt's eyes grew twice in size. He spat it out into his napkin.
"What?" Kurt asked, a little too loudly.
"Well did you like it?" Blaine asked. Kurt pondered the question for a minute. It had tasted pretty good, but the fact that it was squid kind of threw him off. He picked out another very tiny piece and nibbled at it for a second before answering.
"I guess so," Kurt said, still very apprehensive.
"Well then, why does it matter if it's squid?" Blaine asked. Kurt rolled his eyes.
"You are probably the most persuasive person I know," Kurt said, nudging Blaine's leg with his foot under the table.
"Why thank you. Hopefully that will come in handy later," Blaine said, eyeing Kurt mischievously. Kurt laughed and rolled his eyes. They went back to their nice meal and then headed back to Kurt's house to see just how persuasive Blaine really was.
