After singing they thought it would be better to just watch a movie in Kurt’s room. So they made popcorn and Blaine picked out a movie. Beauty and the Beast. He claimed it to be his second favorite Disney movie after the little mermaid. Then Kurt and him laid together and watched the movie peacefully. Kurt glanced affectionately at Blaine as the younger boy sang along to all the songs. Kurt was captivated at how Blaine knew every lyric and repeated every line the characters said. He’d never met anyone like Blaine. Kurt giggled as Blaine was singing along to ‘Be Our Guest’. He looked like a child and he also seem to be happy. Blaine noticed that he was caught and blushed deeply. Kurt giggled fairly more and pulled Blaine into his arms.
“You. Are. Adorable.” He told Blaine kissing him. Blaine smiled but pulled away gently. That’s when his question came in place.
Kurt understood immediately. He did realize that everything with Blaine and him had happened way too fast and they needed to slow it down at least for Blaine’s sake.
“Of course we can Blaine. We can take this as slow as you need it to be.” Was Kurt’s response.
“But like really slow…” Blaine advised Kurt
“What does that mean?” Kurt asked baffled.
“uh..can we just be friends, I just, I don’t think I’m ready to be in a relationship right now. I think you’re amazing but I’m just not ready” Blaine warned Kurt benevolently but coyly.
Kurt nodded although he was kind of thwarted and perplexed. Kurt didn’t want to be just friends, he wanted to kiss Blaine forever, he wanted to tell him that he might be falling for him even though they had only met days ago and it was crazy to even think that Kurt might just be in love with Blaine. Kurt wanted to hold Blaine’s hand and tell him that he was beautiful and perfect; he wanted to hold him and protect him from everything but he could do any of that if he was just friends with Blaine.
Kurt exhaled quietly and turned to Blaine
“So…” Kurt initiated
“Friends can still cuddle, right?” Blaine asked hopefully.
“Yeah.” Kurt smiled
“Good” Blaine said as he laid his head on Kurt’s shoulder and nuzzled closer to him.
Kurt giggled and they both turned back to watch the movie.
Maybe Kurt would be okay with this.
When the movie ended they both decided it would be good to go out for lunch. Kurt took them to a nearby coffee house that he loved to go to. It was small but amazing and there was always open mic night so there was always music playing and Kurt loved it. When they entered, a frequent customer/musician was playing. Her name was Jasmine and She had a wonderful voice and she was a fantastic guitar player and pianist. Kurt has known her for a while now. They met about a year ago when she was barley 15 and starting out, she had improved so much since then. She was now playing her rendition of pumped up kicks and it was magnificent. Blaine had noticed and he was in awe.
“She’s amazing!” he uttered in admiration. Kurt giggled and led them to sit down at a booth with perfect view of the small stage.
“She is. Her name is Jasmine. She’s been playing here for about a year. She’s 16 but damn she can sing.” Kurt agreed
“How isn’t she famous yet?” Blaine asked still staring at Jasmine while she finished up the song.
“I have no idea!” Kurt exclaimed as the whole room went up in roars with people standing up, including Kurt and Blaine, Clapping and whistling and others screaming encore. Jasmine smiled and was giddy as she made her way off the stage thanking everybody. As soon as she saw Kurt she ran up to him and hugged him tightly
“Kurt! I haven’t seen you in like 2 weeks! Where have you been! I’ve missed you!” She chirped
“Hey Jazzy! I’ve been busy with school and finals but I’ve missed you too! You were amazing up there!” He declared pulling away gently from the hug. He always thought of Jasmine as if she was his little sister.
“Thanks Kurt! Ooo and who may this be?” she wondered as she became aware of Blaine “Hi. I’m Jasmine! and single” she announced. Kurt covered his face with his hand and giggled lightly
“I’m Blaine and gay. Sorry. But you were incredible up there.” Blaine admitted
“Thank you Blaine but Damn Kurt you always get all the hot ones!” Blaine blushed deeply at the comment
“Hey, It’s not my fault but anyway we aren’t together, he my new foster brother. We’re just here getting some lunch while my dad’s at work.” He told her but she didn’t look convinced
“Mhmm sure… Well anyway it was nice meeting you Blaine! Maybe we can hang out or something if you aren’t busy. Kurt gets boring sometimes -”
“Hey! I do not!” Kurt exclaimed
“Anyway,” she giggled “yeah thanks for the amazing comments and Kurt say hi to your dad for me! Bye guys! Love you Kurtie” she giggled again
“Bye sweetie. Love you too”
“Bye Jasmine!” Blaine yelled after her as she left. She turned back and waved before exiting.
Blaine looked over at Kurt giggling
“What?” Kurt asked
“Kurtie?” Blaine laughed
Kurt sighed and chuckled “Yes. Kurtie. She’s like my little sister so I call her jazzy and then she decided on the dreadful Kurtie which was at least better than the first nick name she gave me”
“which was?”
“I’m not tell you!” Kurt said mortified.
“Okay, fine. But I’ll find out sooner or later…” Blaine said giving up and grabbing at some chips that a waitress had set on the table. The same waitress came up again and took their orders. Blaine decided on a cheeseburger and a coke and Kurt decided on a chicken salad with a raspberry iced tea. The waitress came back quickly with their drinks and told them that their food would be out in a few minutes. So as they waited Blaine thought he would start a conversation.
“So... this place is really cool, do they always have open mic?”
Kurt was surprised when Blaine spoke up and he smiled. Blaine was finally opening up more and starting a conversation. He loved this. Maybe Blaine would heal quicker than he thought.
“Yeah every day, every night. Except on Mondays. They close early that day. But yeah you should do it sometime. I'm sure everybody would love you.” Kurt gushed
“Maybe one day. Have you sung here?”
“Yeah a couple times with Jasmine actually, since I don’t really know how to play anything but the piano a little.”
“Maybe we should sing together someday” Blaine said softly
Kurt nodded and smiled at Blaine.
“So what’s your favorite color?” Kurt asked Blaine
Blaine smiled at the simple question “Red. Why?”
“Hey I need to know you if we’re going to be friends. Mine is white because it makes my ass look fantastic and also Dior gray. Your turn”
“Uh okay” He laughed quietly “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer this but how come you never mention your mom” He asked tenderly
Kurt felt a small lump in his throat. He never spoke about her only to his dad but Blaine should at least know and Kurt knew that Blaine would listen and be there for him. He swallowed.
“Y-you don’t have to talk about h-”
“No, it’s okay” Kurt took a deep breath and exhaled so he could calm down a little “My mom, she passed away when I was 8, she got diagnosed with breast cancer but when the doctors found it, it was too late. She was the most amazing person I’ve ever met, she was so kind and caring, she was selfless, gracious, delightful, beautiful, she was just … everything. I loved her so much, I still do and I knew she loved me and my father just as much. It’s crazy to think that it’s been 10 years since she went away and I miss her everyday but I know she’s looking over me, my dad and all the foster kids we’ve had and now you since you’re part of this family. I like to remember all the great moments with her which was always” Kurt laughed to himself and wiped a small tear that falling from his right eye “ It’s funny how good things always have to end. My mom was to marvelous, to... to pure for this world. But now she’s my guardian angel and she’s always going to be here for me. There isn’t a day when I don’t think of her”
