Kurt slid into the black, leather passenger seat in Blaine's Mercedes-Benz. "Nice car!"
"Why thank you, I'm glad I have your approval." Blaine smiled, shifting the ignition into reverse to pull out of the parking lot.
"The wooden finish was a very nice touch," Kurt commented, running his sleek fingers along the hard surface. "It's hot." He fanned himself jokingly.
"Well, duh, you're in here." He smirked, winking at Kurt.
"You're an asshat," Kurt giggled, fixing his lightweight sweater that was draped over his broad shoulders. "So, what's on the agenda for this evening?"
"Kurt, I told you. This is top secret information." He stated simply, attempting to hide behind his tiny smile. Blaine went through a lot of effort for planning for this date. He wanted to have a fun yet calm night for the both of them. However, he didn't just want the end of the night to finish off in each other's beds. Blaine pulled his car into the back lot of the building, trying to hide where they were from Kurt. "We have arrived, kind sir!" Blaine announced, dashing out of the car to open Kurt's door for him.
"Bowling, Blaine? Really?" Kurt sighed, cocking an eyebrow up at him. He took Blaine's outstretched hand and got up out of the seat.
"Um, yes!? Bowling is amazing." Blaine boasted, locking his fingers in with Kurt's. "It's really fun, though I fail epicly at it."
Kurt just nodded, trying not to let his disappointment become too obvious.
"Listen, this isn't all I have planned tonight. Don't worry though, we'll have fun. I promise." Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand, rubbing his thumb in gentle strokes over his palm.
"I don't doubt that," Kurt said, walking in sync with Blaine's steps to the front doors of the busy building. "I'm just not really...the sporty type."
"Is this okay?" Blaine questioned, wrapping his arm across Kurt's torso, walking close to him. "I know PDA might be a bad idea, but I'm a touchy person. Can't help it." Blaine pouted.
"Nah, it's cute. I don't care if anybody sees us."
"Really? That's great." Blaine grinned, holding open the door for Kurt to walk through. "After you, my dear."
"Thank you." Kurt said politely, walking into the bowling alley. One thing Kurt Hummel adored was manners on a male. Chivalry was most definitely not dead, Blaine was an genius in that topic. Blaine quickly caught up with him, leading Kurt up to the front desk.
"Hey guys, how can I help yo- Oh my gosh, you're Blaine Anderson!" The girl who was working the desk said, staring up at him with wide eyes. "Oh right, you made reservations! Oh gosh let me go get everything set up for you!" The young lady ran away, leaving both of them standing confused.
Kurt looked over to Blaine for an explanation, but he just shrugged and laughed. The girl, Talia, came back and dragged them to a lane. "This is for you guys! It's quieter over here, we have people making sure NOBODY bothers you. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask!" She smiled, dropping off a bottle of wine and their bowling shoes.
"Size 10?" Blaine questioned, handing over the neon sneakers.
"Size 10," Kurt agreed, stripping off his loafers and placing his feet into the shoes. "Ick, these things always make me feel gross." Kurt complained, tying the green and pink laces tight.
"Don't worry, I had them cleaned thoroughly and sanitized just for us." Blaine smiled, tying up his own shoes and walking over to the rack of shiny bowling balls. "What color?"
"Hmmmmm," Kurt thought, heading over next to Blaine. "I'll have that stunning blue, please."
"Matches your gorgeous eyes," Blaine mumbled, blushing at the comment.
"What was that?" Kurt questioned, already striding back over to the table to type in their names on the list.
"I said you look fantastic." Blaine grinned, sitting next to Kurt. He popped open the red wine and poured both of them a glass, watching Kurt tap away on the touchscreen.
"So do you." Kurt smiled. "Now let's go make me feel like a teenager again!"
"Aye aye, captain!" Blaine snapped his fingers, and suddenly the entire room went dark. The blacklights struck on, creating a purplish glow throughout the room. Laser lights danced throughout the rest of the room, almost like a night club. A few hoots and hollers echoed throughout the alley, and Kurt just laughed. Blaine smiled back, singing along to the background music that was playing loudly over the speakers.
"This is pretty good," Kurt winked, sticking his fingers into the blue bowling ball. He walked up toward the lane, and bent over slightly, sending the ball flying down the lane. Managing to knock down a few pins, he turned around and clapped happily. Too busy observing Kurt's ass, Blaine looked up confusingly, but just clapped back.
"My turn!" Blaine giggled, grabbing his lime green ball and pranced toward the lane. He expertly bent over, crossing his feet and sent the heavy ball sailing down the alley. On his first turn, Blaine managed a strike. Kurt laughed and clapped loudly, Blaine bowed in response and wiggled his hips.
"I thought you didn't like bowling!" Kurt frowned, poking Blaine hard on the shoulder. Blaine smirked, poking Kurt's stomach gently. "I may or may not have lied."
Kurt replied with a gasp, grabbing his ball and navigating back up the lane. He tossed the ball towards the pins, this time managing a strike as well. Kurt jumped up in excitement again, and Blaine smiled. "Well done, young Obiwon."
Kurt cocked his head, smiling again. "So how about those drinks?"
After 2 games of bowling, Kurt and Blaine were now exhausted and slightly tipsy. Blaine paid the lady at the front, and picked up Kurt, raising him into his strong arms. He carried a giggling Kurt all the way to the car before placing him into the passenger seat.
"I had a whole entire evening planned," Blaine frowned as he started up his car. "But I don't think you or I have enough energy to finish the night."
"Hey, you're a fucking olympian! No energy to take me out to dinner?" Kurt giggled, turning his head to the window.
"Of course I'll take you to dinner." Blaine smiled, kissing Kurt's cheek gently and drove to the nearest restaraunt.
Blaine took them to a small diner nearby, something quiet yet still tasteful. Kurt seemed to be enjoying himself, so that was a huge plus. They had a few more drinks at the table, as well as a chicken finger platter to share. Kurt complained that the meal would go straight to his hips, but obliged. Blaine offered to purchase him a salad, but he argued to himself there would be time for dessert. The dinner was fairly decent, and now they were walking along the road back toward the car. "I really had fun tonight, Blaine. You surprised me." Kurt smiled, holding Blaine's hand tighter.
"Was it my great date skills or my amazing bowling ability?" He joked, feeling the nice burn of alcohol flooding through his veins.
"Both! I thought you were going to suck at bowling!" Kurt giggled, playfully shoving into Blaine.
Blaine immediately pulled Kurt closer, wrapping his arms around Kurt's body. His front was pushed up flush against Kurt as Kurt was forced onto the car. "I'm planning on sucking other things too," Blaine blurted seductively, panicking at his sudden outburst. "I'm sorry, that-I wasn't supposed to say that." He apologized, backing off from Kurt and letting him step into the car.
When they quickly settled in, Kurt grabbed Blaine's wrist and almost jumped into his lap. "Show me," Kurt pleaded, his eyes now flooded with a dark hue.
Blaine swallowed thickly, glancing into Kurt's horny-filled eyes. He tried to think deeply with the head on his shoulders, not the one placed between his thighs. "I really really want too," Blaine whispered, grabbing Kurt's cheeks and placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "But.. it wouldn't feel right to take advantage of you on our first date."
Kurt kissed Blaine this time before pulling away gently. "You're right," Kurt readjusted himself in the seat. "I'm sorry. What else do you have planned?"
"Hey, it's perfectly okay." Blaine smiled, grabbing Kurt's hand slowly. "The London Eye." He said simply, watching as his analog clock in his car struck 7pm.
"The London Eye...?" Kurt questioned, a puzzled expression dancing on his face.
"Mmhm. We have a private date on a giant ass ferris wheel. There will be delicious desserts and wine, accompanied by romantic music." He revealed, driving them toward the dock.
"Let's go!" Kurt urged, immediately excited. This was by far the best date he'd been on yet.
The boys walked into the large, white capsule. The doors were held open to them by two men dressed up like two guards. One of the nodded to Blaine, signalling that their desserts would be with them shortly. Blaine helped Kurt settle in on the nice couch in the corner, and let the lights flicker down to a low life. Soft instrumental music sounded throughout the tight capsule, and two servants brought in a large platter of cookies, cakes and other tasteful desserts. Two large bottles of wine and other mixed drinks were placed on a table in the corner, and the men quickly disappeared. Candles illuminated the small room, that was now navigating toward the top of the wheel. The ride up was long, because they moved the wheel at an extremely slow pace for them.
"This is fantastic, Blaine." Kurt said in awe, glancing at the city lights that danced around in shadows on the tiny walls.
"Isn't it? I thought it'd be really romantic. We have around," Blaine glanced down at his clock. "30 minutes to enjoy the exquisite scenery." He explained.
Blaine put his iPhone in the dock on the small wooden table, tapping onto his "Romance" playlist.
Immediately, one of his new favorite songs began playing throughout the capsule as they reached the top. Kurt gasped at the gorgeous sights of the luxirious city, he even noticed the shining arena in the background.
"Are you excited?" Kurt asked, curling up in a ball on the blankets. Blaine slid in next to him, marveling in the lights as well.
"I'm nervous. I don't want to mess up," Blaine sighed, laying down on his back. "I know that none of them are as good as I am, but I just want to get it done and over with. It's a lot of pressure."
"The opening ceremony is tomorrow evening." Kurt noted, laying back next to him.
"Indeed it is, and then I have to wait a few more days until the stupid competition." Blaine frowned.
"Lots of practice?"
"Hours of practice." Blaine repeated, standing up quickly and placing a song he really wanted to serenade to Kurt.
Kurt just hummed in acknowledgement, captivated by the illuminated city.
"May I sing for you?" Blaine asked, pressing play on his iPod and sitting next to Kurt.
"Please do." Kurt commented, turning around and staring at Blaine.
Blaine opened his mouth to sing, clearing his throat quietly. He waited for the music to begin, and then he sang out to Kurt.
"Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance.
I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down.
Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet.
Give it a try, it’ll be alright."
Blaine pulled Kurt up by his hands, intertwining their hands and started to dance together around the room. Kurt picked up the next line, seeing as he knew the song quite well.
"The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right."
Blaine twirled them around in a circle, picking up the speed of their feet. Kurt smiled widely, following in on each of Blaine's quick steps.
They continued the song in unison, their voices harmonizing together in one perfect melody.
"Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, all,
About uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s all about us!"
Blaine got down on his knees, leaving a blushing Kurt standing above him. He looked up to Kurt in a pleading motion, smiling widely.
"Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.
Don’t know what’s got into me,
Why I feel this way.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you,can I hold you close?"
He jumped up instantly, wrapping his arms tightly around Kurt's waist. Kurt leaned into the touch, swaying closely next to him. They rocked in sync with each other, quietly singing the rest of the song.
"The room’s hush, hush,
And now’s our moment.
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
We’re doing this right.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh, oh, all,
About uh, uh, us.
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s all about us.
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Love I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
Do you think we’re ready yet?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
Do you hear that love?
Do you hear that love?
Lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It's all about us.
It’s all, all, all, all.
Every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt,
But it’s all about us.
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
Spotlight shining, it’s all about us.
It’s oh oh all about us
(hey-ey hey)
And every heart in the room will melt,
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
It’s oh, oh,
It’s all about us..."
After the song was finished and the music turned back into soft, relaxing instruments flooding together to create a glorious symphony, Kurt and Blaine fell back together on the blankets. They were starting their second loop on the wheel, and the lights shone even brighter outside.
"Wine?" Blaine asked, pouring both of them a glass of delicious white liquid.
"Please." Kurt pleaded, fanning himself yet again.
"Hot?" Blaine questioned, handing him the filled glass, sitting up on the blankets. They both gazed out the windows, transfixed by the scenery yet again. It was like an illusion, up here nothing else mattered but them. They were alone, secluded from the rest of their hectic lives. This time was for them to share, to relax and admire each other.
"Only because you're in here." Kurt giggled, putting his glass down on the floor and quickly captured Blaine's lips with his own, earning a muffled laugh from Blaine.
