"Absolutely. Strip, please."

Blaine blinks. "Um, what?"

Kurt looks at him then smiles. "Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking. I usually say the first thing that comes to my mind. You'll have to get used to it." He winks, and Blaine blushes. Hmm, I like that I can make him blush. "Can you strip down to your under clothes for the measurements? I need them as accurate as possible."

Blaine lets out a breath. "Oh, sure, of course. Where did you want me to...?" He looks confused as to where to go.

"Right over here is fine." Kurt motions to an area near the wall, where Tony's costume sketches are hung.

Kurt goes to get the measuring tape and when he comes back, Blaine is stripped down to his grey briefs and white undershirt. He stares at his toned legs, the muscles in his back, his biceps, and mutters, "Hot damn."

Blaine turns around and says, "Like this?" and self- consciously bites his lip.

Kurt regains his composure and nods. He walks over to him and starts measuring, memorizing each number. Starting with his arms, he goes slowly, savoring each moment, holding his breath as he goes. He runs the tape across his chest, and he feels that Blaine's heartbeat is pounding. Kurt smirks and tries to remain professional, but knowing he has this effect on Blaine makes him go even slower.

He drags the tape around his waistline, letting his finger trail each number, acting as if he is trying to keep the tape straight.

Ugh, straight, Kurt thought. He's probably straight, don't get too carried away.

He couldn't help it, though, as he measured Blaine's backside, so he pressed a little harder than usual and the blush on Blaine's face was very pleasing.

He gets down on his knees to prepare to measure his legs and in-seam, but looks up at Blaine first for confirmation.

Blaine seems to be having a hard time keeping a straight face, for he is biting his lip and has his eyes shut tight.

Kurt stops and says, "Am I making you uncomfortable?"

Blaine opens his eyes immediately and shouts, "NO! I mean, no, it's fine, I promise."

Kurt sighs, and says, "I have to ask because a lot of people are not okay with working close to people like me. Gay, I mean."

"That's definitely not the issue." Blaine states. "I'm gay as well. it's just... well to be honest... you in that position, it's making me think that you're not going to have an accurate measurement of my in-seam." And then he winks.

"Is that so?" Kurt raises his eyebrow but continues measuring. When he finishes with Blaine he stands up, gets as close as possible, his lips centimeters from Blaine's and whispers, "I have that effect on people."

Blaine is frozen in his spot as Kurt backs up and picks up a notepad, writing down all the numbers from the measurements that he memorized. He looks up at Blaine, smiles and says, "I think we're done here." And proceeds to continue with the red dress that he was working on.

When Blaine's brain finally tells his body to move, he puts his clothes on in a flash and looks back at Kurt. He didn't know what to do next so he said, "So, I guess I'll see you around?"

Kurt doesn't look up from his handiwork, but he smiled slyly and told him, "Looks like it."

And when Blaine left, he thought to himself, Yeah, I will most definitely be seeing him around.
