Kurt was relieved when he finally got home. Mercedes and Rachel had pestered him for the whole bus ride about what had happened. Even when he finished telling them everything they continued, as if he might be holding back something.

After listening to his dad and Carole congratulating him, he went straight to his room. He hesitated for a moment about whether or not to sign on to msn right away. Would that seem to eager? Blaine might not even be back yet. Kurt signed in anyway, not wanting to risk missing Blaine and not getting to speak to him at all.

Blaine: Heeey

Kurt: Hi Blaine

Blaine: So...

Blaine: How was regionals?

Kurt: Oh ha ha

Blaine: ;)

Kurt: So did you get as much crap on your bus as I did on mine?

Blaine: I thought it would never end!

Kurt: At least I only had Rachel and Mercedes grilling me

Blaine: I had the whole club!

Kurt: Aww poor Blaine

Blaine: Worth it though, I got to meet you :)

Kurt: :)

Blaine: I meant what I said as well

Kurt: About what?

Blaine: That we should meet up sometime just the two of us

Kurt: Well... where would you want to go? Maybe see a movie or something?

Blaine: Mmm not a movie

Kurt: Oh ok

Blaine: Only because I think it'd be nice to be able to talk properly and you can't really do that in a movie theatre, maybe we could go out for dinner?

Kurt: Sounds good :)

Blaine: So where in Lima is good?

Kurt: Well there's Breadstix and... that's kind of it

Blaine: Breadstix it is! Saturday night?

Kurt: Ok

Blaine: Sooo...

Kurt: Hm usually I'd be telling you about regionals now but... you were kinda there

Blaine: Yeah... how awful were Aural Intensity?

Kurt: Uh, the worst! We actually lost to them last year

Blaine: You didn't get a solo last year ;)

Kurt: While that is very true, we were still miles better

Blaine: What did you perform

Kurt: We did a Journey medley, I could probably find the video of it, Rachel likes to put all our performances on youtube

Blaine: And I'm just hearing of this now?

Kurt: Well I didn't want you to know before but... no point hiding it now!

Kurt: There sent you the link

Blaine: Ok watching

Blaine: Is that Finn? ?

Kurt: Yep

Blaine: You never said he was such a good singer

Blaine: Or Rachel!

Kurt: Well... I guess they usually get all the solos for a reason

Blaine: Yay and there's the rest of new directions!

Blaine: This is good!

Blaine: I can't see you though :(

Kurt: I'm around the back somewhere...

Blaine: Oh I love this song!

Blaine: Just a small town giiiirl

Blaine: Living in a lonely wooorld

Kurt: Are you gonna sing the whole thing?

Blaine: Yes. But I can't type fast enough so you just have to imagine it

Blaine: Ok you guys should have won

Kurt: Well Vocal Adrenaline WERE really good. We were definitely better than Aural Intensity though

Blaine: What's this? 'Glee Club goes Gaga' in related videos?

Kurt: Ohhh me and the glee girls did Lady Gaga

Blaine: Ok I'm watching this

Kurt: Fine..

Blaine: Wow you all look awesome

Blaine: And SOUND awesome

Blaine: What was this performance for?

Kurt: Just for fun really... just an average week in glee club

Blaine: ...seriously? This is an average week?

Kurt: Yup

Blaine: Hmm 'Push it at School Assembly'

Kurt: Oh! Don't watch that one!

Blaine: I just watched you dance in 10 inch heals but THIS you don't want me to see?

Kurt: ...yes

Blaine: Definitely watching it then

Kurt: Ughhh...

Blaine: Awww look how young you all look!

Blaine: So innocent and adorable!

Kurt: It was only a year ago...

Blaine: Whoaaaa ok not so innocent

Blaine: ... WHAT AM I WATCHING?

Blaine: They let you do this in school?

Kurt: They may have been expecting us to do disco...

Blaine: ...

Kurt: You still there?

Blaine: Sorry just recovering

Blaine: Oooo the famous 'Defying gravity Diva-Off'!

Kurt: NO! not that one!

Blaine: Why not?

Kurt: That's the one where I blew the note... please don't watch it

Blaine: Ok, but then you have to sing it for me in person

Kurt: Deal

Blaine: '4 minutes' can I watch that one?

Kurt: Sure but that's not a glee club video that's a cheerleading performance

Blaine: ... I thought you were joking about being a cheerleader!

Kurt: Haha you better watch the video then ;)

"Did he watch the video of my solo at last year's Sectionals?" Rachel asked excitedly.

"Yes, Rachel," Kurt sighed. "He was very impressed."

Rachel sat back smugly and Mercedes rolled her eyes. "So are you going to see him again?" she asked.

"This Saturday night, we're going to Breadstix," he beamed

"Like on a proper date?" Mercedes gasped.

"I... I don't know." Kurt said. "We have these flirty moments where I think he likes me but then we're back to joking around and I think maybe I imagined it. When he asked... it sounded like he was asking me on a date but maybe that was just in my head too."

"We all heard what he sang at regionals," Rachel said pointedly.

"We all heard what he sang for me at Christmas," Kurt retorted. "But that didn't mean anything... Maybe regionals didn't either."

"Did you ask him about it?" Mercedes asked.

"I did but then we were interrupted by the Warblers."

"So ask him again!"

Their conversation ended abruptly when Mr Schue walked in to begin glee practise.

"Next Saturday night, in our auditorium, McKinley High's first annual Night of Neglect fundraiser benefit is officially ago!" Mr Schue announced, at the end of practise.

Kurt clapped along with everyone else and felt someone tap his shoulder

"Why are you clapping?" Mercedes hissed.

"Um... why not?"

"Next Saturday night? Kurt?" Mercedes said with raised eyebrows.

It dawned on Kurt and he stopped clapping immediately. Saturday night was his 'date' with Blaine.

"It's not that big of a deal." Kurt argued as they left the choir room. "Blaine will understand, we could go out Friday night or something instead."

"Oh!" Rachel exclaimed, gripping Kurt's arm as she was struck with a idea. "Invite Blaine!"

"What?"

"Invite him to the Night of Neglect!"

"I don't know..." Kurt hesitated.

"Well why not? We need people in the audience anyway."

"She has a point, Kurt," Mercedes chipped in. "We both know that not many people are going to show up to watch, we could actually use him."

"Fine, I'll ask him," Kurt replied. "But if he says no, I'm not going to push it."

"We'll get to meet Blaine!" Rachel smiled.

"I said I'll ask, Rachel," he repeated.

"As if he'll say no," she grinned.
