Finals had come in January and took up much of Kurt's time. He didn't have time to think about his feelings towards Blaine or how Blaine may feel towards him. He still remembered the confession and how Blaine comforted him.

Blaine was more than helpful with Lilly too. He even watched her a few times for him. Kurt was thankful for him. Kurt and Lilly even went to Blaine's birthday party. Blaine had been so excited to introduce his friends to some of his family.

It was the beginning of the next semester at school though, and Kurt was excited to start his new classes. He would miss being alone with Blaine in Photography at the end of the day though.

Right now he was busy trying to print his syllabus for his English class, Literature in the 1800s. He was excited to have that class with Blaine.

"Oh crap," Kurt said as all of his folders feel to the floor. All of the papers went every where.

"Need help?"

Kurt looked up and saw a guy standing. He was just an inch or two taller than him. He had his hair styled up. His face was thinner and slightly pointed. "Sure."

The guy kneeled down and helped him pick up the papers.

They picked them all up Kurt tried to reorganize them. "Thanks for your help."

"No problem," the guy smiled, "The name is Sebastian Smythe."

"Oh, Kurt Hummel," he said, "You new?"

"Yeah," Sebastian nodded, "I was wondering if you knew where this Student Activities room was?"

Kurt looked at him for a moment, "Are you looking for the Warblers?"

Sebastian nodded again, "Yeah, I have an audition and need to be there in five minutes."

"Just head down the hall and turn left," Kurt instructed him.

"Thanks man," Sebastian patted him on the shoulder, "Cute brooch." He then walked off.

Kurt reached up and touched the brooch Blaine had gotten him for Christmas. He looked down at the papers he had just printed off and realized he needed to get them in his binder.

The next day at lunch Kurt was walking to the table with the Warblers when he saw Sebastian sitting next to Blaine. He didn't want it to bother him, so he tried walk by with his head down, but then heard Blaine's voice.

"Hey Kurt," Blaine smiled at him and made room for him to sit down.

Kurt sat down and nodded at him, "Hi." He figured why not sit, since Blaine was kind enough to move over.

"Kurt you have to settle our debate, we are all tied," Jeff said as he pointed to Nick, "I say that Superman is the better superhero."

"While I say that Batman is," Nick said, "What do you think?"

Kurt laughed, "Definitely Spiderman," he nodded.

Blaine let out a laugh, "Well that's not fair."

"Why not," Kurt shrugged, "I mean you said the best superhero and well I think Spiderman is."

"But Batman is way better," Sebastian said to him.

Kurt rolled his eyes, "Fine, whatever. But come on, he was just an average guy whose entire world got flipped upside down."

"Same thing happened to Batman, but he had the money to do it," Sebastian said with a smirk.

Kurt breathed in and out, "Just because you come from money doesn't make you the better man. As I recall Batman was pretty much banished from Gothom City."

"Yeah, still people like him in the end. So that definitely proves that money makes you the more liked guy," Sebastian still had his smirk on his face.

Wes looked over at Kurt, "Are you alright Kurt?"

"Yeah fine," Kurt stood up, "I just remembered I have to finish that paper. I'll see you later." He dumped his tray of food and walked out of the cafeteria. He knew the words Sebastian was saying shouldn't get to him, but it did.

Kurt walked into the Student Activities room and sat down at one of the computers. He had hopes of Blaine chasing after him, but that wouldn't happen. It was times like these when he wished he didn't have a crush on his best friend.

"Kurt, are you alright?"

Falling out of the chair, Kurt landed on his bottom. "Ow."

"Are you okay?" Blaine asked worriedly rushing over to help him.

"Fine," Kurt stood up and sat down in his seat. "What are you doing here?"

"You left in a hurry and I wondered if everything was alright," Blaine said with concern in his voice.

"Why do you always do that?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine was confused, "Do what?"

"You are always asking me if I'm okay or if I'm alright?" Kurt groaned, "Are you that worried about me?"

"I don't understand," Blaine said, he went to take a step forward, but Kurt turned around.

"I have to write this paper now because I work tonight," Kurt said sitting back down and logged onto the computer.

Blaine stood there for a moment, and then he nodded his head, "I'll see you later in class." Kurt didn't answer, so he left walking out of the room.

That night, Kurt did have work. He was busy running around the restaurant and serving all of his tables. Tanya eventually stopped him and told him to take a break.

"What is with you tonight?" Tanya asked him.

Kurt shook his head, "Nothing, I just have a lot on my mind."

Tanya sighed, "Kurt, when is that last time you did something for yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked her.

"I mean like you took time out of your day to do something just for you?" Tanya asked.

Kurt thought for a moment. He stood there and thought, he honestly couldn't think of a time. "I don't know."

"That's it," Tanya snapped her fingers, "You should join that singing group thing at your school."

"I can't," Kurt said clearing off an empty table, "I have work and Lilly."

"Lilly wouldn't mind going to that after school thing or hanging with Clara after school," Tanya said, "I'm sure it would be good for you."

Thinking about the idea for a second, Kurt shook his head, "I can't. I almost tried out, but then backed out."

"Who cares," Tanya waved a hand, "Just ask your friends again. Bane is the one you are closest too right?"

"Blaine," Kurt corrected her.

"Right they one you always blush when you say his name," Tanya teased him.

Kurt gave her a look, "Can you not."

"Fine, but just ask, I'm sure they will let you," Tanya walked over to pick up her order.

Kurt thought about the idea again. He does miss singing and Blaine said if he ever wanted to audition all he had to do was ask. After he talked to Lilly about it, she encouraged him. He decided to ask Blaine about it the next day.

Walking into Calculus was strange, because Blaine was quiet. Kurt tried to talk to him before class started, but there wasn't enough time. And then they got to busy in their classes.

Running to catch up with him, Kurt touched his shoulder, "Can we talk?"

Blaine looked at him with sad eyes, "Sure, what did you want to talk about."

"I'm sorry I snapped at you yesterday," Kurt said to him, "I was just having a bad day and Tanya helped me figure out some things."

"That's good," Blaine nodded.

"Which is why I shouldn't be asking, but I have a favor to ask," Kurt smiled at him.

"What's that?" Blaine asked with a questioning face.

Kurt rocked on his feet, "I was wondering if that invitation to audition for the Warblers is still open?"

Blaine smiled at him, "You know it always is."

"I think it would be good to have something for myself," Kurt said to him, "I mean if I get in."

"You'll get in," Blaine touched his arm, "I'll let the guys know you want to audition. How does today sound?"

"Today?" Kurt asked surprised, "I guess I could. I mean I still need a song to sing."

"Just sing what comes naturally," Blaine said to him, "And I already know you have an amazing voice."

Kurt smiled, "Okay, so after lunch during free period."

"Yep," Blaine nodded, "Come on, let's tell them together. I suppose we should check with the counsel."

"Probably," Kurt laughed. They went to lunch together and sat down next to each other. Sebastian was sitting a few Warblers down, so Kurt tried to keep in mind that he wasn't there.

Wes, David, and Thad were more than excited to have Kurt try out that afternoon. They were all sitting in the Warblers' cave as Jeff called it, all sitting around and waiting.

"Alright everyone," Wes banged his gavel, "We have a student who would like audition, let's welcome Kurt Hummel."

They all clapped for him and Kurt gave a small wave.

"Whenever you are ready," David gave him a nod.

Kurt breathed in and out. He turned and gave Trent a nod. Trent hit the play button on the small stereo and the piano notes started to fill the air. Blaine instantly recognized it as Lilly's playing from when he visited after Christmas.

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

Kurt walked around the room as he sang. All of the Warblers watched him as he sang the song.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy
Inside
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Kurt sang with the emotion he felt he needed. He felt his father's presence around him and remembering Lilly playing the song for him and Blaine.

Yeah, you've got that something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand.

The music disappeared and Kurt opened his eyes. Most of the Warblers stood up and started to clap enthusiastically.

"That was amazing Kurt," Thad said excitedly, "Now, usually we do this anonymously, but those in favor of Kurt Hummel joining raise their hands."

Kurt smiled as he watched all of the Warblers hands raise in the air, even Sebastian raised his hand.

Wes banged his gavel, "Welcome to the Warblers Kurt."

Kurt looked over and saw Blaine grinning at him. He gave him a smile back and couldn't believe how amazing it felt to be part of something again.

They went to their classes for the rest of the day. Kurt walked into his English class and took his usual seat. Sebastian walked in before anyone else and stood in front of Kurt's desk.

"I bet you think you're something special," Sebastian smirked.

Kurt looked up at him, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Sure," Sebastian rolled his eyes as he went to sit down in his own seat.

Blaine walked in and took his seat beside Kurt, "So are you excited for your first practice?"

Kurt shook his head from his thoughts, "Yeah, I am. I guess I should thank you."

Touching his arm, Blaine smiled, "Kurt you deserve it. You sounded amazing. Maybe we can even get you to sing a solo at Regionals."

"We'll have to wait and see won't we," Kurt teased.

Blaine smiled, "Now did you do the reading last night?"

"Blaine, are you serious?" Kurt asked him.

"Sorry forgot," Blaine held up his hands in surrender, "So you did do the reading."

"Actually I skimmed over it," Kurt said looking down, "I had work and didn't have time last night." He could have sworn he heard someone snort from a few desks away.

"That's alright," Blaine said to him, "I'll catch up you up."

Kurt was incredibly thankful for Blaine. His heart still sped up whenever he saw him walk into a room, but he was thankful to just be his friend.

The schedule Kurt had now only had one word to describe it. Busy. Everywhere he went he was trying to do his best, but he somehow messed up something everywhere he went.

At school, he had forgotten to print his paper, so he had to turn it in late. During Warbler's rehearsal he kept messing up the dance moves that resulted in Wes getting frustrated with him. While he was at the garage, Jason told him to fix the brakes on a car, but he accidently started to put the wrong kind on. Plus at the diner he just couldn't get the orders right.

"What is with you tonight?" Tanya asked Kurt.

Kurt groaned as he laid his head on her shoulder, "I am exhausted."

"I think you need a break," Tanya said as she started to pick up the empty dishes someone left.

"Right, I can take a break," Kurt waved his hands in the air, "I am already working my two jobs, school, the Warblers, and then I'm looking at colleges I want to go to."

"Really, college?" Tanya asked him.

Kurt shrugged, "I guess. I mean other than working I don't really have a plan. I was just looking into taking a few classes."

Tanya took Kurt's hand, "Hey, it's exciting. You should be thinking about your future. What do you think you'll go into?"

"I'm not sure yet," Kurt gave another shrug, "I think I will just try some classes out first."

"You are going to be great whatever you do," Tanya smiled as she walked off to take another table's order.

Kurt brushed off the front of his shirt and then went back to work. Maybe right now his life was a mess but he would work it out.

A couple of weeks later with January turning into February, the snow was still falling outside. Kurt began to get a hang on his busy life. He would enjoy his time at school and Warbler practice then either work or hang out with Lilly as much as he could. He was tired, but his life was worth it.

Kurt decided to take Lilly out to go see a movie, one because it was his first free Saturday in weeks and two because she deserved it. He mentioned it to Blaine and asked him if he wanted to go. That resulted in Jeff overhearing and he wanted to go. Nick wanted to go too, so eventually all of the Warblers were invited.

Kurt drove to the movie theater and parked, "You know we don't have to do this," he said looking at his sister in the mirror. Maybe it was more this own worries, but he didn't want his sister to be uncomfortable.

Lilly let out a giggle, "I don't mind."

"Alright," Kurt sighed as he opened his door and Lilly followed him out. "I think we were all going to meet in the lobby." They walked into the theater and started to look around for their friends.

"It's Blaine!" Lilly pulled Kurt towards them. "Hi Blaine."

"Hey you," Blaine smiled at her and then looked up, "Hi Kurt."

"Hello," Kurt waved at him, and then realized how ridiculous he looked quickly lowering his hand.

"Kurt!" Jeff ran over and jumped on his back, "Hey it's Mini Hummel too."

Lilly scrunched her face at him, "I am not mini."

"Right, Miss Lilly here is quite the grown up girl," Blaine said to his friend.

"Are we ready to buy tickets?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine pointed to Wes standing at the counter, "Wes is getting the tickets." Kurt went to take out his wallet, "Oh don't worry about that."

"What?" Kurt asked confused.

"Don't worry about, Wes already collected the money. So you excited to see the movie?" Blaine then asked him.

Kurt looked at his friend, "Did you pay for our tickets?"

"Look at that you really are a charity case Hummel," Sebastian appeared suddenly next to them like he was waiting for a moment to strike.

Clenching his fists, Kurt glared at him, "I suggest you back off Sebastian. Especially on something you don't have any idea about."

"What don't want everyone to know how you live in the cheaper part of town," Sebastian smiled, "In a one bedroom apartment you have to share with your sister."

"Sebastian stop it," Blaine said to him.

"Excuse me," Kurt turned to him, "You seem to think we need all these charitable things."

"I didn't mean anything by it Kurt," Blaine pleaded to him, "I just know you have been working like crazy lately. I wanted to do something to help you out."

"He also watches your sister for free," Sebastian let out a laugh, "I think you were the chosen charity of the year, the Warblers pick one every year."

Kurt could feel his eyes threatening to tear up, but he held them in. "Lilly come on."

"But I want to see the movie," Lilly whined.

Letting out a sigh, Kurt looked down avoiding everyone's gaze, "Not today kiddo."

Looking over at Blaine, Lilly then reached over and took Kurt's hand without another word. They walked out of the movie theater.

Blaine turned to Sebastian, "What was that?"

"What?" Sebastian shrugged.

"You are an idiot," Blaine grumbled as he ran out of the theater and ran over to Kurt who was halfway getting into his car, "Kurt, please don't go."

"I just got a call, they need me at the garage," Kurt said not looking in Blaine's eyes, "I have to go." He got in the car and shut the door, and driving off without another word.

Blaine tried to swallow the lump in his throat, but there wasn't anything there. He went over to his own car and leaned on it.

"What Sebastian said, was it true?" David asked Blaine.

Blaine nodded his head slowly, "He was so scared to tell me." He wasn't crying, but he was shaking, "And he trusted me."

Wes reached to touch Blaine's shoulder, "He still does."

"Yeah right," Blaine said as he stepped away.

Nick watched his friend start to pace in the parking lot, "Is this about more than just Kurt's trust issues?"

"What are you talking about?" Blaine asked him.

"Well, you know you do light up when he walks in the room," Jeff shrugged his shoulders.

David nodded, "And you are quite fond of touching his arm in a way I haven't seen you do that before. I mean you are a touchy feely person, but not like that, not with any of us."

"And Kurt had those green eyes of jealously when Sebastian first came," Nick added.

"What are you saying?" Blaine asked them.

Wes laughed with his shoulders shaking, "You like Kurt."

"Well yes I like Kurt," Blaine said, "I don't know...wait, you mean like as I like Kurt?"

"He is quite clueless isn't he?" Jeff asked out loud but didn't expect an answer because everyone knew what it was.

Blaine took a step back, "But he's Kurt."

"And you are Blaine," David smiled trying to hid his laughter, "You really haven't noticed it?"

"Notice what?" Blaine asked him now worried he did something wrong.

"Go after him you idiot," Nick said as he opened Blaine's door.

"But he had to go to work," Blaine said to them.

Wes groaned, "Blaine Anderson get in your god forsaken car and drive to his work that we all know you know the address to."

Blaine was surprised at Wes' voice, but then he smiled and hugged him, "Thank you." He hopped into his car and drove off as quick as he could.

"Now it's time to do some rough justice," Wes said as he looked over at Sebastian who was standing by his own car.

Jeff clapped his hands, "Scary Wes, I think I like it."

"As long as it isn't directed at us," Nick said to him. David nodded in agreement and then they followed him to listen.

Kurt had dropped off Lilly at Clara's and drove to work at the garage. He didn't really lie to Blaine, Jason really did call, but it was early that day. Jason was happy to hear that Kurt changed his mind though.

Driving to the garage Kurt willed his emotions to just go away until he could deal with them later when he was at home in his shower. He got out of his car and walked inside saying hello to some of the guys. "Jason?"

"Back here kid."

Kurt walked in to the office and froze because standing beside Jason was Blaine. They just looked at one another, their eyes saying more than any words could.

"This kid came here looking for you," Jason scratched his head, "Wouldn't leave until he saw you."

"What are you doing here?" Kurt asked him finally remembering what had only happened less than hour ago. And he looked away.

"Do you mind if I borrow him for a few minutes?" Blaine asked Jason. Barking a laugh, Jason gave a nod of his head. He walked off to leave them alone.

Kurt looked down at his shoes, "Movie wasn't any good?"

Blaine shook his head, "I guess I really am bad at this." On the ride over, he began thinking and everything fell into his lap. He liked Kurt and he needed to tell him how he felt.

"Bad at what?" Kurt asked him.

"Look Kurt, there is a moment when you see someone and you say to yourself, oh there you are. I have been looking for you forever," Blaine took a step towards Kurt. "You know I don't think it's just been one single moment though for me, it's all of the moments. Seeing you with your sister, while you cook, or when you sang at your audition, those were the moments for me. They all combined together and made me realize things that I haven't before."

Kurt finally looked up, "What are you-"

"Kurt, you are that person," Blaine said to him.

Taking in a breath, Kurt didn't know what to say. Blaine was now in front of him and telling him how much he meant to him and how he wants to be with him. His mind was spinning with Blaine so close and everything was just falling because he had no idea what to think anymore.

"Would you two just kiss already?"

Kurt and Blaine turned to see Jason and a few of the workers spying on them. They both laughed and turned to one another again.

"Blaine," Kurt closed his eyes and whispered before he felt Blaine's lips on his. Kurt kissed back with everything he had. He wanted to show Blaine just how much he returned the feelings to them.

Blaine pulled away and they were both panting, "Um, I should probably apologize for coming to your work and�""

"Blaine."

"Yeah?"

"Shut up," Kurt said as he leaned in to kiss Blaine again. He must have caught him by surprise because his mouth was slightly open and his tongue came out just enough for Kurt to taste.

Once again, Blaine pulled away, "You are amazing."

"I'm sorry I acted crazy," Kurt said as he leaned forward to touch their foreheads.

"Don't worry about," Blaine smiled, "Besides I think Wes is giving Sebastian an enormously hard time right now."

Kurt smiled and laughed, "I guess all I have to say is go Wes then."

"Yep, go Wes," Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes, "So I think it's time I took you out on a date."

"Why Blaine Anderson, I thought you would never ask," Kurt laughed.

And true to his word, Blaine planned to take Kurt out on a date. They had to plan it for next Sunday night though since Kurt's work schedule was tricky lately.

Lilly was excited when she heard about Blaine and Kurt finally together. She ran through the apartment and then made a dramatic exit saying how she would leave them alone to talk now. Blaine couldn't hold in his own laughs.

Their friends at school were more than supportive. Most of the Warblers bugged Blaine about how he was clueless and annoyed Kurt about saying how he should have said something sooner. They decided to both hide out in the library for a few lunches.

Sebastian was acting strangely nice to the both of them, if he saw them in the hall or in class. They wondered what Wes had said to him. And when they asked Wes about it, he said he would never tell.

Blaine was now waiting in front of Kurt's door with a bouquet of daisies because those are the flowers that Kurt had once told him he always wanted someone to bring him on a date.

Kurt opened the door and smiled, "Hi, oh my gosh, look at the flowers."

"These are for you," Blaine handed them to him.

Kurt blushed as he smelled the daisies, "Thank you. I can't believe you remembered."

"I remember everything you say," Blaine smiled at him.

"Right, well I already dropped Lilly off at Clara's so we are ready to go," Kurt said as he grabbed his coat, "And where are we off to again?"

"Did you bring the blanket?" Blaine asked him.

Kurt held up the blanket he and Lilly use on their picnics. "Great. You know it's a surprise," Blaine grinned happily, "It's our first date and I want it to be perfect."

"It's with you," Kurt gave a shrug. "I think it's already perfect."

"Our friends are going to hate us aren't they," Blaine teased.

Kurt gave a nod and laughed, "I think they already do honey." He reached down and took Blaine's hand as they walked to Blaine's car.

Blaine opened the door for Kurt to get in and then he hopped into the driver side, "Now remember to act surprised if you guessed."

"Blaine I seriously have no idea what you are doing tonight," Kurt said to him.

"Good," Blaine smiled, "Then off we go."

Kurt noticed how Blaine drove into the, how he said, classier part of town. He pulled into a restaurant that Kurt did not recognize and park the car.

"Rule number one," Blaine started.

"We have rules on our date?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine gave him a look and then Kurt held out his hand to signal Blaine to continue. "As I was saying, rule number one is that yes this place is a bit pricey but don't worry about it. Rule number two, I am paying, I asked you out. You can pay next time, agreed?"

"Agreed," Kurt laughed.

"And finally rule number three is to have fun and don't have a care in the world," Blaine said to him.

"Like I said earlier, with you anything is possible," Kurt leaned over and kissed Blaine on the cheek.

Blaine smiled as he opened his door and then ran around to open Kurt's door, "Hungry?" he held out his arm for Kurt to take.

"Starving," Kurt said as wrapped his arm around Blaine's, "So this looks..."

"No," Blaine shook his head, "Remember rule number one."

"Fine," Kurt rolled his eyes. "I just don't want you to be throwing your money away."

Blaine stopped them and stood in front of Kurt, "You have to realize how special you are and I'm not throwing my money away. I'm spending time with you which I love to do."

Kurt looked down and blushed, "I sometimes think everything is just going to fall out."

"It's not," Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand, "Now why don't we get in there and order some food because I am starving."

"Me too," Kurt laughed.

They walked in and Blaine smiled at the guy who was standing behind the podium, "Hi, we have a reservation under Anderson."

The guy looked down and then smiled, "Yes, if you would please follow me." He picked up two menus and the couple followed him. The host led them through the restaurant and then he stopped at a booth in the back. "Your waitress will be with you in a moment."

The couple sat down and Kurt looked around excitedly, "This place is really nice."

Blaine smiled at Kurt's actions, "I thought you would like it. Now order whatever you want."

"Oh wow," Kurt's eyes widened, "This all looks amazing. I don't know what to get. Where did you hear about his place?"

"I came here with my parents awhile back," Blaine shrugged, "I wanted to make tonight special and then I remembered this place."

"Didn't we already agree tonight was special?" Kurt asked with a smile.

Blaine let out a small laugh, "You are correct."

Their waitress walked over to them, "Good evening, my name is Gia. Would you like to start off with some drinks?"

"How about we start off with a bottle of your sparkling water," Blaine said, "And we'll need a few more minutes to decide on our meals."

"Great," Gia smiled and then walked off.

Kurt looked over at Blaine, "Sparkling water?"

"Tonight's special and my parents said to go all out," Blaine said with a shrug.

"You told your parents about this?" Kurt asked with a blush rising on his cheeks.

Blaine nodded, "Course I did. My mom made sure I went to the right flower shop too."

Kurt let out a giggle, he was glad Blaine had parents like he had. He had heard stories of parents not being accepting and he would never wish that on anyone. "Well I guess I'm glad about that."

"Now what are you thinking of getting?" Blaine asked looking back down at the menu."

Kurt looked at the menu again, "Hmm, this fish looks interesting or the steak."

"The steak?" Blaine asked him, "I never really took you as a steak guy?"

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me Blaine Anderson," Kurt gave him a wink, which made Blaine smile wide, "But now this chicken salad looks good."

Blaine let out a laugh, "Do I need to tell the waitress you need more time?"

"Nah, you just order and I'll follow," Kurt looked at the menu.

As if on cue Gia returned and poured them their drinks. She set the bottle down, "Alright have you gentlemen chosen what you would like to order?"

Blaine ordered a pasta dish and Kurt had finally went back and ordered one of the fish combinations. They talked about school, work, and Lilly. Blaine listened intently as Kurt told him about one time his dad took him and Lilly to the beach while they were on a rare vacation. Kurt started laughing as he was in the middle of telling the story of how his dad got stung by a jellyfish.

"It was one of the best days of my life," Kurt smiled as he took a drink of his water.

"It sounds like a great one," Blaine smiled at him, "You know Cooper took me to the ocean once and I almost drowned."

"What happened?" Kurt asked with a shocked expression on his face.

Blaine laughed, "Oh trust me it was just my brother being a dope. He is ten years older than me, so you know I was the annoying younger brother. One day we were playing in the water. He saw a cute girl and went over to talk to her. I was five at the time and he left me in the water. I went under and the next thing I knew was being pulled out of the water. Cooper was freaking out."

"Geez," Kurt said, "I'm glad you were alright."

"Yeah, I just coughed up the water for a bit," Blaine said to him and shrugged, "Funny thing is, Cooper and I never told our parents about it to this day. It's still our secret."

"Do miss him?"

"Who?"

"You're brother?"

"Cooper is a great guy," Blaine sighed, "I mean I do, but I'm glad he is in California living his dreams."

"What are your dreams?" Kurt asked him, changing the subject but wanting to know more about Blaine.

Blaine thought for a moment, "I think I would like to do something with music. I applied for different schools all over, so you know I'll have to wait and see. What about you?"

Kurt was taking a drink and he almost spit it out, "What?"

"What are your dreams?" Blaine asked him.

"That's kind of complicated for me right now," Kurt said playing with his napkin."

"That sounds like a talk for dessert then," Blaine grinned, "How about we keep to the lighter stuff now."

"We are getting dessert?" Kurt's voice perked up.

Blaine laughed, "Of course we are. But not here, I have something else planned."

"You are full of surprises," Kurt reached to play with his silverware and then Blaine's hand rested on top of his. He looked up and they just looked into one another eyes.

"You ordered the pasta correct?"

The couple both jumped from being interrupted and looked at their waitress. Blaine still held onto Kurt's hand though.

"I interrupted, I'm sorry," Gia said to them.

Blaine shook his hand, "It's alright, and yes I ordered it."

Gia set down their meals, "I am truly sorry, I wasn't even paying attention."

"Its fine," Kurt said to her as he felt Blaine squeeze their still held together hands.

"Well I hope you enjoy your meals," Gia said, "I'll come back and if you need anything just call." She was off in a flash.

"I think she is bubbly," Blaine said.

"She is," Kurt smiled and then he looked down at their hands, "Um, I think you need to let go of my hand so I can eat."

"Oh sorry," Blaine blushed as he let go of Kurt's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you will get more opportunities," Kurt said to him.

Blaine nodded, "I hope so."

They ate their dinner in comfortable silence that seemed to just pass between them. They finished and Blaine asked for the check. Once it came, he handed Gia the card and she went off.

"And now Mr. Anderson what about this dessert?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine gave him a wink, "That's my secret yet again Mr. Hummel."

Kurt really didn't like surprises, but for some reason when Blaine was planning them he did. Gia came back with the receipt, which Blaine signed and they left.

"Now we are getting in the car for dessert," Blaine said to him, "So just trust me with this."

"I guess I have no other choice," Kurt shrugged.

Blaine laughed as they got back into his car and he started to drive down the road. Kurt tried to follow where Blaine was going, but he didn't know the area that well yet. Turning into a parking lot, Kurt looked at the building.

"Just give me one minute," Blaine unbuckled leaving Kurt alone in the car.

Kurt heard a song start to play and turned it up a notch. He smiled as he listened and closed his eyes.

Blaine's door opened and he slid inside causing Kurt jumped and opened his eyes. "Sorry about that," he grinned sheepishly, "I got the goods."

Kurt looked at the bag Blaine was holding, "Now where too?"

"It's just around the corner," Blaine said as he put the car in reverse to back out of the spot, and then he put it in drive taking off down the road. He then turned into the planetarium's parking lot.

"Are we even allowed here?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine just smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, "I know some people, namely David's sister who works here. Come on." He reached in the back and picked up a blanket.

They both exited the car and Kurt followed Blaine as they walked to a side door. Blaine swiped a card key and opened the door.

"This way," Blaine pointed as they walked into a dark room. "Here you lay down the blanket and I have something to do."

Kurt gave him a look, but took the blanket. Blaine walked into a room off to the side. Unfolding the blanket, Kurt laid it on the ground. He sat down and opened the bag with the dessert. His eyes widened, Kurt saw a container of powdered sugar with a container of chocolate covered strawberries.

Then all of a sudden, bright stars were covering the ceiling and soft music began to play. Blaine appeared once again and he was holding a single rose.

Kurt just shook his head and laughed, "You are amazing."

"Oh good," Blaine said with a sigh, "I was worried it was a bit much."

"No, it's not," Kurt said to him. He patted the ground next to him, and Blaine lowered himself down handing Kurt the rose. He smelled it and smiled at him. "Thank you," he leaned over and kissed him.

Blaine kissed Kurt back and pulled back gently to lean his head on his shoulder, "Strawberry?"

"I would love one," Kurt said happily.

Blaine opened the small box and dipped it some powdered sugar bringing it to Kurt's lips. Kurt opened his mouth and ate it slowly letting out a small groan. "That good?"

"Yes," Kurt nodded.

Blaine finished the strawberry and tossed the stem in the bag, "Those are good."

Kurt picked up a strawberry, "I love this even if it is incredibly cheesy."

"Don't you remember?" Blaine asked him. Kurt shook his head and wondered what Blaine was talking about. "You told me that your dream date was sitting under the stars being fed chocolate strawberries. And then you blushed and instantly told me how silly it sounded, but you know it wasn't silly."

Kurt was amazed that Blaine had remembered that. He had mentioned it months ago and he remembered. "I always dreamed of leaving, getting out of Ohio."

"And now?" Blaine asked him.

"I can't really do that now," Kurt shrugged as he picked up a strawberry letting Blaine take the first bite, "I mean with Lilly I can't just leave. She is happy here. It's more complicated now."

"If you could go do anything you wanted what would it be?" Blaine asked with eyes wide.

"The stage," Kurt said surely, "I would want nothing more than to be on a stage."

"You do have an amazing voice," Blaine said to him. Kurt blushed and looked down, "I mean it Kurt." He put a finger under Kurt's chin to raise his head, "You are amazing and I think you can do it. Just put your mind to it and you can do anything."

Kurt closed his eyes as Blaine closed the small distance letting their lips slide together. He felt Blaine's tongue gently touch his bottom lip, so he opened his own. Kurt lowered down on the blanket.

Pulling away, Blaine reached up and touched Kurt's face. He leaned on his arm, "I know it might sound crazy, but I really care about you Kurt."

"I care about you too," Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes.

They laid there for awhile just looking up at the stars talking quietly with one another. Finishing the strawberries by feeding them to one another, neither could have asked for a better date.

Blaine drove Kurt home that night and kissed him before leaving him at his front door. Kurt shut the door behind him and let out a squeal of excitement jumping up and down. He then leaned on the wall and smiled feeling happier than he has ever been.
