“Blaine?” He turned at the sound of his name and gasped quietly, smiling from ear to ear. He looked stunning. They laughed nervously and gave each other an awkward hug, marveling one another. “Hi Kurt. You look great.” Blaine greeted, his hand resting on Kurt's shoulder affectionately. Kurt smirked and looked down shyly, this was almost too good to be true. “You don't look so bad yourself.” He mentally slapped himself for the cheesy line. He hasn't been on a date since God knows when. Blaine chuckled, trying to let himself go for the night, going with the motions. It was almost too easy to do with Kurt there. “Thank you. So how about we go in for some dinner?” Blaine wondered, scrunching his nose cutely as he asked, making Kurt swoon. This man was too cute for words. “I think that sounds wonderful.” Kurt looped his arm into Blaine's, making a bold move. He was itching to be close to him.

They chewed their food quietly, catching each others eye every once and a while, the two of them look away, blushing. “So how was work?” Blaine asked sweetly, wiping his mouth with his napkin before taking another bite. Kurt played with his salad, giving a shrug. “It was okay. The only exciting part of my day was your phone call.” He admitted, laying everything out on table. He wasn't going to hide his feelings. “I'm glad I could do that. Maybe I'll call more often?” Blaine said with a smile, his tone more like a question. “I would like that.” They smiled shyly, finishing off their meals. “How was work for you?” Kurt wondered, pushing his plate aside, all his attention on Blaine. He loved listening to him speak. His voice was soothing. “It was okay. I actually have two days off. My chief thinks I work way too hard.” Blaine explained, hoping to give off the hint that they can hang out tomorrow. “It sounds like you do, taking extra shifts and what not. You seem like you could use a break.” Kurt told him with a soft smile, hoping to come off as caring, not reprimanding. Blaine's eyes scanned down Kurt's profile, unable to hide his huge smile. The last relationship Blaine was in, 'he who shall not be named', always encouraged him to take more shifts so he could make more money and hopefully move up in ranking. Kurt actually seems to care about his well being.

After dinner and a playful fight over who would pay (Blaine winning) they were walking the streets of Times Square together, smiling and enjoying the scenery around them. “I come here every day for work, but it never gets old.” Kurt said softly, his shoulder brushing with Blaine's as they walked side by side. “I think that's why I decided to be a firefighter here instead of in Ohio. I actually want to protect this place, especially since 9/11.” Blaine explained, taking a deep breath before grabbing Kurt's hand, the two of them looking between each other. Kurt smiled widely and gave a reassuring squeeze, breaking out into a giggle. “I still can't believe you're from Ohio and were in Glee club too! Warblers right?” Kurt asked excitedly, their hands still joined together. “Yeah. I was there leading man for three years. The more I look back on it, the more I miss it.” Blaine admitted, remembering a coffee shop a few blocks away. “The Warblers or singing?” Kurt wondered, regretting it because it was kind of a stupid question. Blaine gave a shrug, placing their hands in his jacket pocket, Kurt's heart skipping a beat. “Both I guess.” Kurt nodded, leaning into Blaine more. “You're going to have to sing for me one day, you know?” Blaine laughed, leading them into warm cafe. “I will. Promise.”

Through the course of their night they probably learned more about each other than a couple does while being together for two months. They just had this instant connection. “That used to be my ring tone in high school!” Kurt hid his face in his hands, embarrassed as Blaine laughed at him. “Yep.. That's my brother. Now he's in shows and stuff. He's been good. How about you, any siblings?” Blaine asked, smiling adoringly as Kurt died down from his laughter. “Yeah. I have a step brother Finn. He was in New Directions with me. The awkwardly tall lead we had.” Blaine nodded in confirmation, taking a sip of his coffee. “Him and Rachel are getting married in like ten months or something. She's probably at his apartment now.” Kurt bit his lip, avoiding eye contact. “If you want to go and hang out at mine or something.” He finished, finally looking up see Blaine's gorgeous hazel eyes looking back at him. “Okay.” Blaine murmured in surprise, holding his hand out for Kurt as he stood.

They entered the apartment, the both of them toeing their shoes off as Kurt flicked the light on. “Welcome to my lovely abode.” He introduced with a giggle, placing his keys and wallet on on the kitchen counter, standing there awkwardly as Blaine looked around, surveying the place. “Its really nice. Very homey.” He mumbled, smiling to Kurt. “Come on, lets watch a movie.” Kurt suggested, skipping over to the couch and taking a seat, patting the spot next to him, signaling Blaine to sit. “Your pick.” Blaine said, before Kurt could tell him to choose a movie. They laughed and decided on the newest romantic comedy together, putting teamwork into it.

By the middle of the movie Blaine held Kurt against his side, an arm securely around his waist as Kurt's head was rested on his shoulder. He could get used to this closeness. He felt comfortable. “Hey Kurt?” He looked over and smiled softly, humming out a question, wondering what he was called for. With all the courage he could muster Blaine leaned in and pressed his lips to Kurt's, the grip he had on his waist tightening. Kurt sighed as they parted, their eyes opening slowly. Without hesitation they both leaned in this time, their lips meshing together gently. “Mm.. Blaine. Bedroom.” Kurt mumbled, holding Blaine's face in his hand, his thumb gently stroking his cheek. He nodded, picking Kurt up off the couch, carrying him into what he assumed was his bedroom.

“Wait.. Kurt..” Blaine grabbed Kurt's wrist gently, taking his hand away, trying to let them both cool down. Kurt looked at him, hurt and confusion written on his face. “I.. I like you, I just really want to do this right.” He explained, noticing Kurt's features soften, a small smile spreading. They shared a soft kiss, cuddling into one another. “So you want to wait?” Blaine nodded, nuzzling his nose with Kurt's. “Yeah. I want to keep seeing you, but I would feel better if we took this slow.” He admitted, glad they didn't sleep together on the first date. Blaine didn't want any regrets if they were going to be in a relationship later. “I can agree with that.” Kurt said softly, using Blaine as a pillow, enjoying the contrast of his soft skin against the roughness of Blaine. “You're still going to stay the night right?” He nodded, holding Kurt close, kissing his head. “I was going to stay the night whether we were going to have sex or not.” Blaine admitted, the two of them laughing before settling into the silence, enjoying each others warmth.

He blinked his eyes open slowly, adjusting to the light. “Morning beautiful.” Blaine walked in with a tray of breakfast and two cups of coffee, clad in only boxers. Kurt was hoping he could wake up like this every morning. “What's all this?” He wondered, sitting up in the bed, taking the tray from Blaine so he could join him on the bed. “Well its eggs, bacon, and a bagel. Also coffee. I brought you cream and sugar so you can mix it yourself.” Blaine explained, smiling like an excited little kid. “This is probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.. Thank you.” Kurt smiled and leaned over, kissing Blaine's cheek. “You're welcome.” They sat close and shared breakfast, along with some kisses. It felt like they've been together so much longer than a first date. Kurt normally doesn't invite guys to his apartment till much later, but this felt so much different than that.

Kurt picked up the tray and stood, walking to the kitchen. “And where do you think you're going?” Blaine asked playfully, following him out. “To clean up.” Kurt said matter of factually, walking into the kitchen quickly, Blaine chasing him. His arms circled his waist, lifting Kurt up and away from the sink. “Oh no you don't..” They both laughed, Kurt managing to break free, turning on the water right before Blaine grabbed him again. “Blaine let me go, you made breakfast, let me clean!” Kurt tried to reason, laughing as he was held against Blaine's chest, trying to reach for the sink. “Let me. I want to.” Blaine said soothingly, kissing Kurt's shoulder. “You're the guest.” They both sighed, the two of them knowing they wouldn't let each other win. “You know.. Maybe we could leave it in there for Rachel to deal with.” Kurt suggested, giggling as Blaine set him down, his grip loosening. “Sounds like a plan.”

Blaine hovered above him, their mouths moving together as Kurt ran his hands through his curls. There was no where else Blaine would rather be. In the silence there was a ringing, making the two break apart. “I'm sorry, hold on.” He mumbled, digging in the pocket of his jeans that lie on the floor. Kurt smiled, amused, as Blaine stood in the middle of the room, admiring his strong arms and muscular back. How the hell did he manage to get so lucky? “Shit.. Yeah I'll be in. Give me a half hour, see you at the station.” Blaine hung up with a frustrated sigh. “They need back up at a call. I have to go into work. I'm sorry.” He explained quietly, watching the disappoint on Kurt's face. It was looks like those that made him afraid to be in a relationship. He didn't want to upset him because of his job. That wasn't fair. “Its okay.” Kurt stood, going over to take Blaine into his embrace. “Stay safe. Call me when you get home.” They shared a lingering kiss, parting so Blaine could get dressed and get to work.

Rachel walked up to her building, Blaine walking out. “Hey there.” She said happily, frowning slightly as he waved and sped walked down the street, trying to hail a cab. Without thought she entered the apartment to see Kurt lounging on the couch, a blanket wrapped around him. “I saw Blaine leaving, You guys slept together, didn't you?” Kurt rolled his eyes, of course she didn't bother to say hello, or ask any normal questions. “No. He spent the night, that's all. He got called into work.” Rachel nodded, taking a seat next to her friend. “Its not going to be easy being with him, you know. He might get called in a lot.” She said gently, smiling sadly as Kurt rested his head on her shoulder. “Yeah, I know. He's really great though. He called me beautiful and made me breakfast.” Kurt hid his face in his hands, blushing. Rachel couldn't be happier for him. If him and Blaine could work this out, then who is she to judge what they have.

Blaine entered his apartment later that evening to see a note on the kitchen counter. “Out for the night with Liam. See you tomorrow, Sebastian.” He read quietly, sighing tiredly, his body aching. Without second thought he pulled his phone out, clicking on Kurt's name. “Hey.” He mumbled, holding the phone between his ear and shoulder as he undressed. “No I'm fine Kurt, don't worry. I'm used to this.” He assured, clearing his throat. “Do you really? We kind of spent a whole day together, you don't have to if you don't want to.” Blaine said, placing his phone on speaker so he could strip his shirt off. “No Blaine, I want to come over. You sound pretty bad.. Let me comfort you.” Kurt murmured soothingly, making it really hard for Blaine to tell him no. “Alright. I'm going to jump in the shower. I'll see you in an hour?” Kurt chuckled at the rasp in Blaine's voice, noticing how tired he was through the phone. “I'll see you then, bye.”
