Talking to the Moon

Chapter 6

"Wow. This place looks wonderful." Kurt said after they took their seats at Daniel's. Light jazz music was on in the background.

"I thought you're going to like it."

"I love it!" Kurt sounded excited.

Blaine chuckled. "I'm glad. That's one of my favorite places, here in New York."

"One of them?"

"I'll show you the other ones later." he winked at Kurt.

"Okay. Can't wait to see them." Kurt smiled at Blaine and looked at the menu. "Wow. So many things to choose from." he was amazed. "What are you going to eat?"

"Well, I haven't decided it yet…"

They were scanning the menu when a waiter came up to their table.

"Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Scott and I'm going to be your waiter tonight. Have you decided on the beverage?"

"Yes, we'd like some champagne and some crystal water, please."

"Thank you. I'll be right back with your drinks."

"Oh, that one looks promising on the appetizer's list." Kurt said after the waiter left. "Mousserou And Swiss Chard Ravioli. What do you think?"

"Good choice. I think I'm going to go with the Watercress Velouté." Blaine said and closed his menu and looked at Kurt. "So decided?"

"Yes." Kurt closed his menu too and smiled back at Blaine.

The waiter came back and poured them some champagne into their glasses. After Scott finished with the serving, they said their orders and the waiter disappeared again.

"Mmm. This champagne tastes nice." Kurt stated after tasting it.

"Indeed." Blaine said.

Kurt was still a bit silent, because he was looking around the restaurant, completely amazed by it.

He's so damn adorable. He can be impressed by lots of things so easily. I wish I could just kiss him now.

Kurt came back to reality when the waiter arrived with their appetizers.

"Bon appetite." Scott said and put the plates in front of them.

"Oh, thank you." he flashed a huge smile at the waiter, who smiled back surprised. He looked a bit confused, though.

"You're adorable." Blaine said after the waiter left.

"Why?"

"You just totally confused him."

"How?"

"I'm sure he doesn't get a lot of honest smile here in New York." Blaine stated. "And maybe he likes you, too."

"What?" Kurt barely chocked on his food, because of the laugh, what he was trying to hold back.

"You're flawless, Kurt. I think you make everybody confused and to like you in a second. And your smile just lights up the room – almost literally." He smiled slightly at Kurt and laced his fingers into Kurt's, which one was resting on the table. "I love you."

"I love you too."

They were walking by the Hudson River on their way back home.

"It's so lovely here." Kurt hummed and buried his face into Blaine's neck. "You know… I think we should do that more often. I loved it. I love you. I love that your eyes are this huge and beautiful and this hazel and this beautiful."

"Are you drunk?"

"Maybe I drank I little bit more, than I should, but I'm gonna be okay in no time."

"Okay." He lifted Kurt's jaw up with his hand and gently kissed him.

"Thank you for that amazing dinner. That fish was amazing. What did I eat exactly?" Kurt asked and giggled a bit.

"Your main course was 'Cedar-wrapped Red King Salmon with Stuffed Morels'."

"I should learn how to cook that."

"You will." He just smiled at Kurt, who sank into his thoughts.

"But the dessert… I remember. It waaaas 'Roasted Ruby Red Grapefruit'. Delicious." He kissed Blaine again. "But not as much as you are."

"You sure you're gonna be sober in no time?"

"Yes. I'm just tipsy and being honest with you. You're lips are so delicious." He kissed Blaine again.

Blaine pulled him closer and didn't let go of the kiss. "But not as much as yours." Kurt giggled and blushed. "Come on! We should go home now."

"Yes, we should."

Blaine helped down Kurt's jacket after they entered into the apartment.

"Sorry." Kurt said.

"For what?"

"For being drunk on our way back home. I think a star just can't handle alcohol that much."

"It's okay." He just smiled at the worried boy. "But you seem pretty sober now."

"Because I am sober." Kurt looked at Blaine with sparkling eyes.

The time has come. Courage, Blaine! Everything's going to be okay. He's the one.

God, why am I nervous? He's looking at me in the way that he never did before. Like… I don't know. It's mesmerizing and beautiful and perfect.

They lips collapsed passionately, and they pulled themselves closer to each other. After few minutes of kissing, Blaine started to undress Kurt slowly…

… They were standing in front of each other in Blaine's room, looking at each other's naked body. They breaths started to get faster with the time what they spent looking at the other one.

"You're so beautiful. I love you." Blaine said.

"I love you too." Kurt was blushing.

"Are you sure about this?"

"I am." Kurt smiled at Blaine and they pulled each other into a passionate kiss...

In the morning, Blaine had to get up early. He took a shower, got dressed and ate some breakfast. Before he'd left, he went into his bedroom just to check that he wasn't dreaming last night or in the last few days.

He kneeled onto his bed and bent over Kurt. He gave him a kiss on the cheek. Kurt mumbled something and opened his eyes a bit. "I gotta go to rehearsal now. I'll be back about 8 in the evening. Love you."

"Love you too, Blaine." Kurt mumbled. He wanted to get out of the bed, but Blaine pulled him back.

"Go back to sleep, my love." He said and gave another short kiss to Kurt.

Kurt hummed and his breathing went back to regular.

Two hours later Kurt woke up with a big smile on his face. He took a shower, ate breakfast, then tried to figure out what to do next. After a few minutes of watching TV, he got bored and decided to make a delicious dinner for Blaine. He opened the fridge for ingredients, but he didn't find anything useful in it.

Seriously, does this guy only eat cereals and his 'secret sandwich'? I need to go to the store... but I'll need some help.

He went up in the building, to the room 785 and knocked on it.

"Coming." he got the answer through the door and heard footsteps.

"Good morning, Elisa." Kurt greeted the old woman. "I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

"Oh, Kurt. Morning, for you too!" Elisa smiled at Kurt and opened the door wider. "Please, come in."

Kurt accepted the invitaton and stepped inside. "Oh, hey little friend. What's your name?" Kurt asked the purring cat, which was grinding to his calf.

"He's name is Percival. I haven't fed him yet, so he's in a lovely mood."

Kurt kneeled down and started to scratch the fur under Percival's jaw. "Such a cute name for him. It suits you."he cooed to the purring cat, who who layed on his back and showed his tummy to Kurt.

"He really likes you." Elisa stated and they laughed together. "So, what brought you here, darling?"

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, Percival distracted me."

"It's okay." the old lady smiled at him.

"I came here, because I was wondering if you could help me a bit."

"About what?"

"I want to make an amazing dinner to surprise Blaine, when he comes home tonight. But I've never cooked in my life before. I know it probably sounds insane, that I want to cook, but I learn things pretty fast and I want to try it out. I found an amazing recipe and I think Blaine'd like it. I checked what's in the fridge and in the cupboards, but I hadn't find the ingredients for the meal in it. So I should go to the store, but I've never been in one either. Sorry, I'm just babbling and babbling."

"It's okay, darling. I gladly help you, just let me change my clothes." Elisa went out of the living room into her bedroom. "Could you feed Percival until then?" the old lady asked from the other room.

"Oh, of course. Where's his food?"

"There's a can in the fridge and a spoon next to it."

Kurt managed to feed the cat and luckily he didn't had to wait too long for Elisa to come out.

"I'm ready. Thank you for feeding Percy."

"Thank you for helping me."

"Oh, it's nothing. You seem nice, Kurt, so I'm happy to help you."

They left the apartment and went to the store.

"I still can't believe that you can find that much thing in one single store." Kurt said amazed after two hours, which they spent in the store. He opened his apartment's door and stepped inside, after Elisa.

"Right? I always say that to my grandchildren, but they just like: 'Meh. Grandma' it's the 21st century, it's a certain thing that you can find nearly everything there.'" Kurt chuckled at how Elisa was imitating her grandchildren, which made the old lady smile even more. "You're unique, Kurt, you know that?"

"Umm..." Kurt couldn't decide how to react. "Thank you." he said uncertainly.

"Are you two dating?" suddenly Elisa changed the subject.

"Yes." Kurt answered shortly.

"Good. I was looking forward to that moment, when this lovely Broadway-boy will finally find someone for himself, because he's a true gentleman. So where's the kitchen?"

Gosh, this woman can change the subject fast.

"Just go ahead and you'll find yourself there."

Kurt put the bags on the counter.

"So, we need a pot first. Where are they?"

"Umm... I don't really know." Kurt said shyly.

"It's okay, darling. I think the optional place for it would be..." she bent down and opened the cupboard. "...here. Ah-hah." she pulled out the pot and put it on the stove.

"What should I do now?"

"There's the cutting board. Put the bacon on it a cut them with this knife." she handed Kurt a huge knife. He looked terrified at it. "Don't worry, Kurt."

Kurt just nodded and tried to imitate what he saw on the TV from Jamie Oliver.

"You seem pretty good at it. Are you sure you've never done this before?"

Kurt chuckled. "I am, but thanks."

"After you finished cutting the bacon, please find me a bowl and crack some eggs in it."

"Found it." he held up the bowl and sighed. "I'm so glad you're here."

"I told you, Kurt. I'm gladly here to help you."

Kurt smiled at the old lady, who was roasting the sliced bacons on the oven.

"Thank you, Elisa for everything." Kurt said after they finished the cooking and set the table.

"Thank you, Kurt. I hadn't had that much fun since my Wilbur left." she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I had a wonderful time, too."

"See you later. Goodbye, Kurt."

"Goodbye, Elisa."

The old lady left the apartment and Kurt collapsed on the couch.

Gosh, I've never thought that this can be that much exhausting. I think I'm gonna took a nap here.

He heard keys clinking outside, then someone put the keys into the lock.

Blaine should be at work this time...

The door cracked open and a tall, handsome guy stepped inside the apartment.

"Oh, hey." the man greeted him and looked at him with his bright blue eyes. "I'm Cooper Anderson." he held his right hand toward Kurt.

"Hey. I'm Kurt Hummel. Are you Blaine's brother?"

"Yes. And you are...?"

"I'm Blaine's..." What shall I say? "... best friend and roommate."

"Ah, best friend, right." he grinned at Kurt. What's that supposed to mean? "How long you guys know each other?"

"For like..." Gosh, should I say the truth or it'd sound ridiculous? Okay, lies are wrong. "... a week."

"And you're already best friends?"

"Yes?"

"Alright, Kurt." he just noticed the fancy table there. "You can be a really good friend if you made this to him." he gestured towards the table.

God, can't we just skip this 'friend' subject?

"I tried out the cooking, that's all."

"Right." Cooper sat down on the couch and patted the seat next to him. "Come."
That guy's weird. Really...

Kurt just sat down next to Cooper, but he didn't say a word. Cooper was looking at his face from like three inches.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm an actor."

"Alright?"

"I'm an expert of reading the people facial expressions." he was still looking at Kurt. "I already know about you more, than you think." he said on a mysterious voice.

"Do tell. I'm curios."

"I knew that. I was just about to say that you're a curious type." You don't say... "And you can be amazed by lots of things. You came into the city, because you were looking for some adventure in your life. You're not from here - I know all the accents from the United States but your's weird. Sounds so clear. Anyway, and you're seeing somebody."

Kurt didn't know how to react to this statement. He felt his cheeks are started to burn.

"Why do you think that?"

"I can see a huge hickey on your clavicle."

Kurt pulled up his shirt's neck, but it was a v-necked one, so it didn't hide the spot.

"So you only know each other for a week you're already really close." Cooper winked at him. "That's amazing."

Kurt stood up. "Are you thirsty?"

"What's that hurry for?"

"I am thirsty." he poured some apple juice into a glass and drank it. "So, what are you doing here?"

"I came here, because of an audition which is going to be tomorrow afternoon."

"Ah." He poured another glass of juice into his glass and sat back next to Cooper. "Do you need any help?"

"Could you do a dialogue with me from this script?" he held up the script. Kurt's eyes widened. "Don't worry, not all of it." he chuckled.

"Thank God." Kurt chuckled in relief. "And yes, I could do a dialogue with you. When do you want to practice?"

"Do you have time now?"

"I do." Kurt smiled at Cooper.

"Fantastic." Cooper said happily. He opened the script where the dialogue was and handed it to Kurt.
