"Have you ever been to a concert like this?" Blaine asked Kurt.

"Never, why?" Kurt responded.

Blaine sighed. He should have known that Kurt had never been to a rock concert. They were standing in the pit at the Green Day concert. Kurt only knew the songs that were in the play American Idiot, but Blaine had been a Green Day fan since birth, and was maybe a little overly excited. Blaine had prepared Kurt as well as he could have for the show: not letting him drink too much water, and sneaking a pair of earplugs into his bag for Kurt, but there was no way he could prepare Kurt for the inevitable mosh pit he was going to encounter. "Oh, um, no reason," Blaine replied, smiling.

The lights dimmed and the excitement in Blaine erupted in a wild scream.

Kurt laughed. He loved seeing Blaine this happy. The opening notes to the first song started to play and Billie Joe began to sing. The show was amazing, but they were standing very close to a speaker, and by the last song, Kurt's head was spinning.

Blaine was too absorbed in the show to even notice the sour expression on Kurt's face, and whenever he turned to Kurt in approval or excitement, Kurt would smile and pretend nothing was wrong.

Once the show was over, everyone began to clear out. "Well, what did you think?" Blaine yelled. Clearly, he was having a hard time hearing too.

"I'll never be able to hear again," Kurt said, laughing.

Blaine frowned. "Oh..," he rummaged in his bag and presented the earplugs. "I had brought these. You should have told me it was loud," he said.

"I didn't want to interrupt you," Kurt said.

Blaine smiled. "You're very sweet, you know that?" He kissed Kurt and they walked to the car together, both happy with the show.
