Blaine was performing and the four of them made plans after the show. Rachel watched with glee was Kurt bobbed his head and tapped his foot to Blaine and the house band's rendition of The Forster Kids' "Pumped Up Kicks". She couldn't remember the last time she saw him enjoying music. His eyes were shining and he was even smiling! And then Rachel remembered who exactly was singing.

Clapping as they finished, the group waited patiently for Blaine to meet them. When he did, his hair was still damp from the sweat from the lights.

"Hey, guys." He announced, standing before them.

"Hey! Great show tonight!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Yeah, man. That song is awesome." Finn agreed.

Blaine thanked them and then turned to Kurt. "What did you think?" He asked.

Kurt thought about it for a moment. "It was catchy. Definitely enjoyable."

"I saw you tapping your feet! Ya loved it." Finn teased.

Rolling his eyes, Kurt stood from his seat. "Har har, may we leave now?"

After leaving the restaurant, they walked in groups of two. Finn and Rachel were in front, holding hands and whispering, while Kurt and Blaine were in the back, talking about his car and how he'd been taking care of it. After reaching the ice cream parlor, they sat at the wooden picnic table and ate.

Blaine fit right in. He and Rachel talked about music and performing. He and Finn talked about all different types of sports. And he and Kurt talked about basically everything. They told him stories about their High school years, and about Glee club. Though Kurt didn't contribute to the story telling, he sat up straight and smiled, like it was nothing. He even laughed at some point.

When all was said and done, they headed back to Kurt and Finn's house. Blaine, who had to be at the park early, was getting ready to depart. While the other two went into the house after saying goodbye, Kurt hung outside.

"I will say this, they are very eccentric. Rachel is very-"

"Loud? Bossy? Barbra Streisand-like?"

"Noble." Blaine laughed. "Though the Barbra thing is right too. And your brother is-"

"Big? Crazy? Bird brained-ish?"

"No!" Blaine laughed again. "Funny. They're a cleaver bunch. I like them."

Kurt shrugged, sighing softly. "Gotta love em."

"I had a really great time tonight, Kurt." Blaine said after a moment.

"Me too." Kurt agreed. "It's nice to just get away and have fun, ya know? And being with you pretty much makes the entire night a blast."

"Really?" Blaine blushed.

"Really! You're one of a kind, you know that?"

Blaine looked away, shy of what Kurt was telling him. When he looked back up, he had a glint in his eye that Kurt hadn't seen another boy have while looking at him in a long time. That sheer "I adore you" glint.

Kurt wanted to say something. To ask what the shine was about, and maybe even tease him about him. But then Blaine moved closer. Kurt knew what was happening, but he couldn't force himself to move. In a matter of seconds, Blaine's lips are on his, kissing him softly.

Kurt closed his eyes for a moment, sighing ever so slightly, before shooting back open. Pulling away, Kurt held his hand over his mouth as he stared at Blaine in awe. Blaine stepped back, shaking his head.

"I'm sorry," he said coyly, a smile breaking across his lips. "I just really wanted to do that."

Kurt stood in silence, not a word coming to mind. Finally, something snapped, and he pushed himself past Blaine.

"I have to go!" He said quickly, running to the house. Blaine called after him, but Kurt didn't listen. He ran into his house and straight into his room. Once there, Kurt locked his door before collapsing against it and onto the floor, his pulse rising. Practically shaking, Kurt touched his lips gently with the tips of his fingers.

Blaine kissed him. He leaned over and kissed him, and Kurt let it happen. Slamming his head back against the door, Kurt remained on the floor, wrapping his arms around himself, allowing himself to cry.
