A/N: Yes, we're going to try and update once a day, and a couple of times on the weekend, while we work on longer fics in between the drabbles. It suits our lifestyle better - Claire and I are both a little ADD and we can't focus on one thing for very long - editting is long and boring and we don't have the time nor effort to get a Beta we trust - we use each other. We also need the short, randomness of fic's to keep us going. But again, trust our judgement :D
"Okay, fine. I'll tell you what he says later okay?" Blaine said, hanging up the phone with a sigh. He went back into the lounge, seating himself at Kurt's side.
"So, Nick finally asked Jeff out..."
"Is that what the phone call was about?" Kurt asked, grinning at Blaine.
"Sort of."
"Sort of?" Kurt asked, raising an eyebrow.
"They're both really nervous about the 'date' – don't ask, I know they've been friends forever, and should have gotten together ages ago – but they want to know if we'll double with them, at least for the first date."
"Do they have plans yet?"
"I suggested Breadstix and a movie."
"If I can choose the movie, I'm in."
^.^
"So…how's this?" Jeff asked with a grin, stepping out of his bathroom with his arms outspread.
Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"You are aware of the venue, right?"
"Breadstix?" Jeff asked weakly.
"Right. Now…have you ever seen someone in a suit at Breadstix?"
Jeff sighed dejectedly. "No."
"Right." Kurt nodded, before burrowing into Jeff's wardrobe and pulling out his phone.
(16:03) Make sure Nick isn't wearing a suit.
He frowned, picking up shirts as Jeff stripped off his jacket and tie.
Blaine (16:04) So, when were you going to tell me you were a mind reader?
Kurt laughed, finally finding a button down, dark blue shirt. He tossed it at Jeff. "Black pants are perfect, now this shirt."
Jeff nodded, disappearing back into the bathroom.
Blaine (16:09) So…what does Nick need to wear. I'm assuming you've already figured Jeff out?
Kurt grinned.
(16:10) Red button down?
Jeff emerged, his arms outstretched again and Kurt nodded, grinning.
"Perfect. You got dress shoes?"
Jeff nodded. "Downstairs."
"Alright. Nick and Blaine are still getting ready."
Jeff squirmed uncomfortably, and Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"You okay?"
He nodded slightly. "Nervous."
"Nick loves you. There's no reason to be."
"But…"
Kurt's phone beeped and he held up a finger to silence Jeff, glancing at his phone. It was a picture of Nick in his button down.
(16:16) Lose the tie, then get your butts here.
^.^
"This is so awkward." Kurt whispered to Blaine as they trailed behind Nick and Jeff.
Blaine had driven them to Breadstix, and the silence from the backseat was almost overwhelming. All Nick and Jeff seemed able to do was exchange glances, bite their lips and blush, before looking away again.
Sliding into the booth seats – Kurt and Blaine on one side, Nick and Jeff on the other – Kurt took his menu, studying it carefully, pointing different items out to Blaine. They were secretly watching Jeff and Nick, waiting for either of the boys to make a move.
But they didn't.
Blaine sighed impatiently as they ordered – Jeff and Nick were obeying a strict thirty centimetre rule, and it was throwing Kurt and Blaine off. They were flush against each other, all but in each other's laps, with their hands clasped on the table.
Finally, Blaine realised he had to break the tension.
He chuckled to himself, and Jeff and Nick looked over at him – Kurt was still babbling to himself about the calories in the pasta. With one quick movement, he shut Kurt up by kissing him firmly on the mouth.
Kurt's reaction was priceless.
He jerked away with a rather loud squeak of surprise, which sent Jeff and Nick spiralling into peals of uncontrollable laughter. Kurt glared at Blaine slightly, glancing around to make sure nobody had seen – but Blaine's smug grin made him look to Jeff and Nick, who had moved slightly closer in their laughter.
Kurt had to grin, shaking his head slightly.
"So…does anyone know?" Kurt broke the weird silence that had settled after their meals arrived.
"Wes…David….Sebastian." Kurt wrinkled his nose in disgust. "And Trent, of course. But other than them, no."
"Are you going to tell them?" Blaine asked.
"Well…we're not going to hide…" Nick said softly, shooting a sidelong glance at Jeff.
"You sure?" Kurt raised an eyebrow, and both boys flushed and looked away.
Kurt and Blaine rolled their eyes at each other and started eating, their hands loosely clasped on the table. Kurt was finding it difficult to eat with his left, but they were trying to make a point. When Jeff and Nick didn't move, Kurt huffed impatiently.
"Come on guys. You're best friends. You were closer when you weren't dating. What happened?"
Jeff and Nick looked at each other awkwardly and they both shrugged, going back to their meals. Blaine grumbled a little, stroking Kurt's thumb and urging him to go back to eating as well.
After that, their conversation was stunted. Dessert came, and Kurt watched Nick and Jeff carefully. Nick often watched Jeff fondly – but he didn't do anything. Twice he looked tempted to touch him or fix his hair, but he didn't.
Kurt raised an eyebrow, not understanding where their hesitance came from.
Finally, dinner was over, and they were leaving. The movie theatre was a short walk away, so Kurt and Blaine let Nick and Jeff lead, hanging back slightly.
"They're a boring couple." Blaine pouted slightly, his jacket in the crook of his arm as they walked, holding Kurt's hand.
Kurt nodded absently, watching their body language. Finally, he whipped out his phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh."
(19:40) Just hold his hand.
Nick's phone beeped, and he pulled it from his pocket, opening it and glancing at the text he received.
He stiffened slightly, sliding the phone back into his pocket and Kurt watched him take a deep breath in. There was a suspended second, before he casually slid his hand into Jeff's, intertwining their fingers and grinning at him.
Jeff grinned back.
Kurt grinned triumphantly, squeezing Blaine's hand.
"We should double-date more often."
A/N: Klaine, Niff and Faberry. I swear, sometimes these ships are the only things that get me through the day...
