Author's Notes: The way I see it: Dalton is in Westerville, but I can't remeber if there were evidece about Blaine's parents living in Westerville. And even if there is, I don't care. In my mind, Blaine lives in Westerville only because of Dalton..

“So Kurt,” Tina asked as soon as she, Mercedes and Kurt sat down for a coffee on Monday morning. He hadn’t seen Tina all summer. Well, Kurt hadn’t seen really anyone from the Glee club during the summer, except Finn, Rachel during her Finn visits, Mercedes and Sam. “I heard that you finally have a boyfriend.”

Kurt shot a disapproving look at Mercedes.

“Oh, don’t look at me,” Mercedes said then. “Blame it on Rachel. The whole Glee club got so many calls about how she ran into Blaine on Saturday, who happens to be a lead singer of Warblers, that I think some of us just turned their phones off for Sunday.”

Kurt couldn’t help, but laugh.

“So it’s true?” Tina enquired. “You’re dating with the lead singer of Warblers?”

“Oh, girl, it’s true,” Mercedes hailed. “If you had only seen the makeup session, they put up right in this shop last week..”
 
“Oh, god,” Kurt groaned.

“Talking about me again?” a different voice suddenly echoed behind them. Kurt jerked a little as he turned around to see Blaine.

“Well good morning,” Kurt said and leaned for a little sweet kiss. “So you haven’t met Tina yet..”

“Hey.”

Tina smiled and waved over his coffee.

“Nice. At least I know for sure, that you dump for girls not boys,” Blaine laughed. They had to skip their traditional morning coffee again, so Kurt could meet up with Tina and Mercedes.

“I didn’t dump you.”

“I know, I’m just teasing,” Blaine smiled and gently ran his fingers through Kurt’s hair. Kurt could hear Tina and Mercedes quite ‘aww’s. “But I’d better hurry up now. Inversely to you, I don’t have a morning off.”

“See you later.”

“It was nice seeing you all,” Blaine almost bowed with politeness, turned around and left in a hurry.

Kurt turned back to Tina and Mercedes who smiled at him happily. They were happy for him. It was a short moment, when Kurt thought about loneliness but didn’t feel it.

“So Mercedes,” Kurt said finally, when he started to feel awkward because this staring. “Dare to explain, who the hell is Shane?”

“Ow,” Mercedes swallowed. “Right.”

“Spill it girl,” Tina and Kurt demanded immediately and laughed.



Blaine and Kurt were lying on Kurt’s bed again, staring at the ceiling, a soft melodies played on the background. They were too exhausted of work to really say anything. So they were just lying there, hands tangled together.

“What are you thinking of?” Kurt asked, when he had felt Blaine’s eyes on him for quite a long time.

“This week,” Blaine answered. “It’s been a wonderful week.”

“Yeah it is,” Kurt smiled and turned his head to look at Blaine too. “Of course, if we don’t count the previous Monday..”

Blaine laughed quietly. “No, I don’t.” They were silent again for a second. Blaine slowly stood up a little, leaning on his elbow and started carefully stroke Kurt’s hair. Kurt relaxed on that, still drowning into Blaine’s golden eyes.

“Tomorrow is kind of our anniversary,” Blaine said then. Kurt couldn’t help but chuckle sarcastically. “One week.”

“If I would had heard you saying it about an year ago, I would had smiled on that, really stupidly, but right now I try not to laugh out loud.”

“You can laugh out loud,” Blaine mumbled. “I even won’t get mad.”

So Kurt laughed, not much louder than usually, but just laughed a little. And then the silence hit again. It wasn’t the right time to discuss music or something random like this, it was time for silence or.. confessions.

“Remember when I said, that Karofsky was my first kiss?” Kurt asked a moment later.

“Mhm.”

“Well, it’s not technically true..”

Blaine froze and stopped the hair touching.

“See.. I dated this girl.. Brittany for like a week..”

“What?!”

“My dad and Carole had just started dating, and he tried to bond with Finn, so I was kind of jealous. I tried to act like more.. straight and Brittany.. is not the smartest girl, plus she used to like to fool around a lot. So we dated. Like for an week or so. And of course, we kissed.”

“For a week?”

“Yeah.”

“What an irony..”

Blaine dropped down on his back and stared the ceiling again.

“It wasn’t.. this year. It was on my sophomore year, I was struggling with coming out back then.”

“Oh, wow, you kissed a girl..” Blaine hissed, so Kurt barely heard him. “I didn’t see THAT coming..”

“But I don’t consider it as my first kiss because.. well because Brittany is still a girl.”

Blaine laughed again and turned back to Kurt’s head.

“Maybe I should change my plans I had for celebrating this one week anniversary,” he joked.

“Oh, shut up.” Kurt gently punched Blaine’s shoulder as he rolled in laugh.

“But actually,” Blaine coughed, when he stopped laughing. “I do have plans for us tomorrow.”

“Yeah?”

“In the morning, when I saw you with Mercedes and Tina, I realized that you actually haven’t seen none of MY friends. So you can say no, but I was wondering if you would want to come to Westerville with me tomorrow and meet two of them.”

“Two of them as like.. Wes and David?” Kurt wondered. Blaine had told him a lot about his life and friends in Dalton, so Kurt knew a little about Blaine’s closest friends.

“Yes,” Blaine smiled. He probably didn’t believe, that Kurt would remember those names.

“Sure, why not,” Kurt answered, but slowly starting to get nervous inside.



They met up next morning and although celebrating the one week anniversary was a joke, Blaine still kissed him as soon as they walked into the coffee shop, just like he had done a week ago.

A day in the garage was quite usual. Kurt knew, that Burt was watching him and Blaine really intensively, when they worked closely, so they didn’t have a chance to kiss every time they wanted to. These kisses were just part of them now: light and simple, which kept them close, expressing and reminding each other their feelings. It wasn’t something too big or intimate.
Kurt asked Burt to leave an hour before the closing and since there weren’t many clients left anyway, Burt didn’t mind. They drove to Kurt’s house, so Kurt could change, and then sat into Blaine’s car.

“I thought we were going to Westerville?” Kurt asked, when he realized that they weren’t driving in the right direction.

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you,” Blaine answered. “Change of plans: since Wes or David couldn’t come up with some good place to hang in Westerville, we just decided to meet at my house.”

“You don’t live in Westerville?” Kurt was surprised. Blaine actually hadn’t mentioned, where he lived, but Kurt had automatically assumed that.

“No, it’s just Dalton there. I actually live quite close to Lima..”

They were quiet again, only radio playing quietly on the background. That’s when it finally hit Kurt:

“We’re going to your house?!”

Although Kurt tried to hide it, Blaine obviously sensed the panic in Kurt’s voice.

“Is it a problem?” he question and turned away from the road for a second to look at Kurt.

“Uhm, no,” Kurt mumbled. He was enough nervous because of the fact, that he’s going to meet Blaine’s best friends, but this is where the panic started to kick in. You should be happy, Kurt told himself. You can finally see Blaine’s house, if you’re extra lucky, maybe even his room. But that didn't help at all.

“Seriously, Kurt,” Blaine asked a few seconds later, when Kurt didn’t say anything else. “If it’s not okay to you, we can turn around and hang at your place or something..”

“No, no,” Kurt, surprisingly rushed to say. “It’s okay, I promise. I’m just a little nervous.”

“Why?” Blaine looked really confused and Kurt hesitated, before confessing.

“Because, it’s kind of a big thing, not that it would be bad. I just feel like.. I’m learning to know a new part of your life and it’s kind of scary.”

“We don’t have to..”

“No, it’s fine. I want to, I do. It just makes believe more, that I should tell you.. you know.. more about myself.”

“Kurt, we’ve been through this,” Blaine signed then. Kurt wondered, if he got tired of this. “I told you, I don’t want you to tell anything, you’re not comfortable with.” Blaine tried looking into Kurt’s eyes, probably to prove his words some way, but as he was still driving, it wasn’t really possible. “Besides, this is more like me feeling, like I’m a part of your everyday life, but you don’t even know where I live. I was afraid, that you would feel like I’m not bringing you into my life..”

“Where did you get that idea?!”

Blaine stilled, before answering. “David..”

And that was enough for Kurt to understand the crazy mind of Blaine’s. He knew, that Blaine was really close to these guys and somehow it made sense..

“Please tell me, that your parents aren’t at least home.”

Blaine laughed. “No, they won’t be back until later. I wouldn’t introduce you to my friends AND my parents at the same day. Even I would be wreck by now then..”

End Notes: So the read count of this story is over 1000 and I'd like to know, if all these looks are because of me refreshing and reading my own story (I have this stupid habit to read my stories from the web, when I upload them, because I just like seeing them online :P) or is it because there are actually some readers, so let me know! :)
