The previous day Blaine had asked Kurt if he would like to go out on a proper date. With working and going to see Dr Lynch all the time meant that Kurt and Blaine had barley anytime to themselves these days, hence why Blaine asked Kurt out on a date.

Which of course Kurt said yes too.

Blaine had been planning it all week; he needed it to be absolutely perfect.

Kurt had been excited about it all week, he had even gone out with Rachel to get the absolute perfect outfit, Blaine had told him to dress formally, so formal is what Kurt went with.

He was now getting ready for their date; he had on a dark grey tailored suit that fit him to absolute perfection, and was exactly the way Kurt had imagined it, He had on a plain white shirt and a bale blue tie to fit it all in, the dark grey and pale blue matching his eye colour precisely. Over the year's, Kurt's fashion had changed, well not changed so to speak…toned down, still managing to be fashion perfect Kurt without being overly flamboyant.

He was so excited about it, he had never been on a real date before, not unless you count bowling. He and Blaine used to go all the time, but could you really call something you did all the time a date, I mean, there were coffee dates…oh god... Kurt needed to just chill for a second, he took a couple of deep breaths before fixing his hair, which within 10 minutes (a new personal record), had it styled to perfection.

Kurt came out of Rachel's room as Blaine was getting ready in their room and waited patiently for Blaine to finish…whatever he was doing.

Kurt sat waiting going through different scenarios of what their date would entail, a meal was inevitable as Blaine had told him at least that, and the fact that they were leaving in like 15 minutes and still hadn't eaten, kind of told him that. It was just where would they be eating, Kurt knew it would be somewhere nice, Blaine had impeccable taste.

A cough came from the direction of the bedroom and Kurt snapped his head around to look up and seeing Blaine standing there with a grin on his face that made Kurt heart do little back flips.

Kurt stood up and returned the grin, he was taken a back by how…handsome Blaine looked, how beautiful he was, I mean he always did look beautiful, but Kurt spotted something in Blaine tonight, he wasn't sure how to describe it other than he was absolutely glowing.

He was wearing a simple black suit with a white shirt that had black button's to match, he was also wearing a gold coloured bow tie, but somehow Blaine managed to pull it off, it wasn't flamboyantly gold, it was…Kurt looked up at Blaine in the eyes…that's it! The gold matched the golden flickers in Blaine's eyes. His hair had hair gel through it, but it wasn't moulded to his head like it used to be, it was coiffed, but not the way Kurt does his, it was just very…Blaine.

'Hey,' Blaine breathed out in the silence that had fallen between them 'you look…beautiful.' he said walking towards Kurt.

'Thank you, you look amazing!'

'Not as amazing as you do.'

'You really do look amazing though, Blaine, your glowing.' Kurt decided to tell him ', It's good to see you like this again.'

'I'm just glad to have you.' Blaine said and he placed a long passionate kiss on Kurt's before pulling away, leaving his hand on the nape of Kurt's neck and slowly playing with his hair, being careful to to mess it up 'We better go, the cab will be here.'

'You're right.' Kurt placed a quick kiss to Blaine's lips 'C'mon.' he said leading them both out of the apartment, to the waiting cab.

Turn's out Kurt is pretty good at guessing, well kind of, his prediction that the restaurant that they went to would be amazing had been 100% true, they had went to some real fancy Italian restaurant were the both decided to load up on food, which Kurt never normally did, but tonight they did. They ordered Bruschetta for starter's and for mean meal, Blaine had ordered the Carbonara and Kurt, wanting to hear Blaine speak Italian as he remembered how fluent he was in it, decided to pick a a real Italian sounding meal, finally settling on some sort of risotto dish, which turned out to be delicious and the finishing it all off with good old fashioned chocolate cake, because, hey, why not?

After the meal, Kurt and Blaine had got into another cab, Blaine leaning forward to tell the cab driver their destination

'Hey, will you please put this on for me, Kurt?' Blaine said pulling out a scarf that Kurt recognised and wait…no.

'Is that my Alexander McQueen scarf?'

'Um…shit…sorry' Blaine was flustered.

'It's okay, I'll do it'

'Yey! Good, c'mere.' Blaine said as Kurt moved towards him so he had his back to Blaine as he tied the scarf around Kurt's eyes and the next coherent thing Kurt could remember was feeling Blaine's lips gently on the back of his neck sending little shot's through him, until he felt the cab stop, heard Blaine paying the cabby and then he felt himself being helped out of the cab.

'Blaine, can you just tell me where we are?'

'Just a few more step's…there…' Blaine said placing Kurt in one spot, before removing the scarf from around his eyes.

Kurt's eyes flickered open and the first thing he was was the black and green contrast, and then the two witches, and then finally, the word's 'Wicked' in which, something Kurt knew all too well.

Blaine had taken him to Broadway to see Wicked.

'OH MY GOSH!'

'I thought that might be your reaction' Blaine smirked

'OH my GOSH, Blaine, thank you…I can't…ohmygod!' Kurt was so thankful.

'Shall we go in?' Blaine said after Kurt had almost squeezed him to death.

'Yes!'

And do that's what they did, they laughed, shared tears and san along to every single song, Kurt's personal favourites being Defying Gravity (obviously) Dancing Through Life, and As long as your mine, Kurt and Blaine singing the latter to each other.

To sum the whole night up, it had been absolutely magical.

'I though we could walk home? Is that okay?' Blaine said as they walked out of the theatre.

'Yeah, why not.' Kurt chimed taking a hold of Blaine's hand as the started to head home, the walk only taking about half an hour and it was a beautiful night.

'So…did you enjoy yourself?'

'Okay, I am going to use one of your phrases here…'is the sky blue?''

'Alright, I take that as a yes?'

'You're taking that as a this-night-was-absolutely-perfect-your-perfect-thank-you.'

'I'm glad you had fun.' Blaine smiled.

'I love you.'

'I love you too, Kurt.'

When they finally reached Kurt's apartment again, they were absolutely exhausted. Blaine because it was late and Kurt because he had gotten himself so hyper, that he tired himself out. They literally collapsed in bed as the lay there looking at each other and sharing kisses in the afterglow of a perfect night.

The next day, Blaine was woken up by small kisses on his lips, to which his eyelashes fluttered opened to be looking at Kurt.

'Mm, if I get to wake up like this every morning, I am so taking you to go and see Wicked every night.'

'Don't tempt me.' Kurt said nuzzling into Blaine's bare chest just laying there for a few minutes before deciding to get up.

'Darn it.' Kurt said as he was raiding through the kitchen cupboards.

'What's wrong, baby?' Kurt smiled at the endearment, and then realising that Blaine had asked him something.

'Oh...um, we have no flour and I wanted to make pancakes...'

'Oh okay…I'll just nip down to the store okay? I won't be long.'

'Thank you.' Kurt said giving him a kiss on the cheek 'Love you.'

'Love you too.'

As Blaine arrived at the store, he headed straight to the aisle were the flour was, he was about to pick a bag off the shelf before he heard an all to familiar voice, they completely turned Blaine's amazing mood, upside down, It can't be...

'Hey Blaine.' the cold, chilled voice sounded almost genuine but Blaine knew that It wasn't, it never was.

'Sebastian.' Blaine said grabbing the bag of flour and walking straight past him, it took all of Blaine's will power to not break down a cry right then, but the counselling sessions had been helping him to deal with this, he could do it. He continued to just ignore him as he made his was to one of the check-out's, before he could even exit the aisle he felt Sebastian's rough hand on his wrist and Blaine flinched and was stunned in his place.

'Blaine please…just please hear me out.'

'Hear you out! Sebastian, you beat me senseless, you manipulated me…you raped me Sebastian.' Blaine whispered the last part not wanting to cause a scene.

'Look, I'm sorry, please…I can explain,'

'No, Sebastian.'

'Blaine look at me.' Sebastian's voice sounded hurt, and Blaine was obviously caught off guard by this. He looked at the younger man in the eyes for the first time properly since he left, he winced internally at this, it brung back bad memories. 'I'm sorry okay…I regret what I did to you. I over reacted…I never should have treated you…or Kurt that way...' and for once in Blaine's life, Sebastian was crying, full on crying, but Blaine still didn't say anything to him, how could he? There was only so many way's you can tell someone to get lost.

'I'm not buying it Sebastian…I've moved on, in fact, thing are so much better without you in my life. And as for Kurt?…don't ever expect me or him to forgive you, I can't do that, not after what you did.' he said snapping his hand free of Sebastian's grip

'Blaine please, just…come back…I'll change…I promise' There was something about his voice that honestly sounded so genuine; that it was confusing Blaine, was he serious?

He couldn't be…this was Sebastian…he had no heart…

'Goodbye Sebastian.' Blaine said quickly running to go and pay for the flour and running all the way back to Kurt's apartment.

He ran up the stairs, opened the door, slamming it behind him and sinking down against it, curling up into a ball and letting out the tears that had been forming since he heard Sebastian's voice in the store.

'Blaine is that you- Oh my god…Blaine' Kurt said running over to where his boyfriend was and instantly pulling him into a cuddle.

It took Blaine a few moment's to calm down, Kurt knew that Blaine would tell him eventually, counselling had helped Blaine with that

'H-he w-w-was-s-s there-e' Blaine said through struggled breath and tears, and Kurt knew who he meant.

Sebastian.

'What did he do Blaine?'

'He said...he…said…he was s-sorry'

'But you didn't believe him, right?' and the few seconds of silence was enough for Kurt to want to pass out. 'You did…didn't you!' he said not believing that Blaine had even hesitated, and the nod of Blaine's head was enough for Kurt to flip 'BLAINE! He raped you.'

'And don't I know it Kurt?…I have to live with it every day!'

'Blaine, I-I'm sorry…I didn't mean-'

'And to answer your question…I only believe him for a second…he wanted me to go back with him and I told him no then I left, and now I'm here.'

Blaine continued to tell Kurt what Sebastian had said too him, how he was sorry, to him and to Kurt… and Kurt could tell that there was something wrong… after they had talked about it and had the pancakes, Blaine had remained silent…not saying a word…he was pale and that golden glint had gone from his eyes and were dull again

Kurt wanted to slap Blaine for doing this, he was shutting off from everyone again, it maddened Kurt that Blaine was being to childish about it, but Kurt couldn't blame Blaine for this, it was going to take a long time for Blaine to get over this.

They were back to square one, what they were like the day Kurt had bumped into Blaine that day, it was like seeing a ghost.

Stop it. Kurt though to himself, this wasn't Blaine's fault, Kurt had no idea on what must be going through, had no idea how he felt, how he was coping, Blaine just looked numb, a vacant expression on his face, like he had seen a ghost.

Kurt heart really tugged for the sight of Blaine being so helpless, so vulnerable, he just had to stick this through, Kurt had let Blaine know that if he wanted to talk, he was there.

Kurt would just wait for Blaine, till he was comfortable again.

Today had definitely been a huge step backwards for the both of them.
