Blaine was in a bit of a daze as the two of them walked to the Lima Bean, still holding hands. Was this a date? No, no that couldn't be it. It was merely professional. Kurt had said he wanted to get to know him. But if this was a professional thing, why were they holding hands? And why had Kurt kissed him on the cheek?

Hazel eyes landed lightly on the pale boy as they walked together. Kurt's skin seemed to be glowing under the moonlight and he had a soft smile on his face. He seemed to be thinking hard though at the same time. How was that possible?

"What are you thinking about?" Blaine found himself asking.

Kurt turned and looked at him, smiling lightly. He bit his lip, an action that Blaine found drove him up the wall. He tried to retain his composure and not show that the simplest actions were driving him wild.

"Well, there's something you should know about the script..." Kurt finally said after a moment.

"What?" Blaine asked, looking scared.

When Kurt saw the look on Blaine's face, he laughed. "Don't worry Blaine, it's nothing really bad. Just something...well, it might make you change your mind about working on the movie with me." He bit his lip again and Blaine found it absolutely adorable to see that somewhat worried look cross Kurt's face. It was the sign of normality in the young star. He could hardly believe he was seeing real Kurt.

But a frown momentarily crossed Blaine's features.

"Kurt, I've dreamed of meeting you for a long time. There is nothing that could make me ever not want to do this movie with you. Now please, what's wrong?"

Kurt looked at him, bottom lip still held in his teeth.

"Well...you see Blaine, there's um, more than just kissing in the script."

It took Blaine a moment to realize what he was getting at and his eyes went wide. "You mean?" he asked, not daring to finish the question. Kurt just nodded, flushing lightly. "Oh," Blaine said looking down at the ground.

Several moments of awkward silence passed between them before they stopped in front of the coffee shop and Blaine finally looked back up at him.

"Have you ever?" he asked, knowing that Kurt knew what he was asking. Kurt shook his head. "Then why lose it on screen? Isn't that kind of sacred?"

Kurt sighed and dropped Blaine's hand to pull open the door to the coffee shop, gesturing for Blaine to enter first. The curly-haired boy couldn't help but smile at him as he headed into the shop. Kurt smiled back.

They took a moment to order their coffees, grande non-fat mocha for Kurt and a medium drip for Blaine, and settle down at a table before picking up with the awkward subject.

"An actor's job is never done Blaine. I had my first kiss on screen. Why should this be any different?" Kurt asked with a shrug.

Blaine surprised himself by reaching forward and taking one of Kurt's hands in his own, placing his other hand on top of it and smiling lightly at the boy. He was becoming more comfortable by the minute and it was starting to feel like Kurt had always been a best friend of his rather than his celebrity crush. He looked deep into Kurt's eyes, feeling lightheaded just by doing so. God this boy was so amazing. Blaine thought he was in love with him before but now...no, he couldn't say anything about being in love. That would make him look like a creeper.

"A kiss is nothing compared to your first time. Kurt the first time you make love with someone should be special. You should have really deep feelings for that person. Not pretending that you do," he said in a gentle voice. Kurt sighed and sipped his coffee.

"That's just the thing Blaine. In my kind of work, special moments like that really aren't important. You have to do what the script calls for."

Blaine looked down at the table for a moment. Kurt kind of did have a point. He thought for a moment. "Are you nervous about it?" he asked gently.

Kurt was sipping his coffee again and he swallowed, setting in down on the table. "I'd be lying if I said no. But that's one of the reasons why the role had to be filled by just the right person. It had to be someone I felt comfortable with."

These words caught Blaine by surprise.

"You feel comfortable with me? But I'm just a nobody fan boy." Kurt laughed and squeezed Blaine's hands with the one the other boy was still holding.

"And that Blaine is why I feel comfortable around you. You're not afraid to let go obviously." Blaine just stared at him for a moment. "I know it sounds weird. I should be pushing crazy fan boys like you away with body guards but the truth is, I still remember what it's like to be in your shoes, to be the fan dreaming to meet the star. To me, fan boying or fan girling shows more normality than trying to hold it together. Does that make sense?"

Blaine thought about that for a moment. Once again, Kurt did have a point. He reluctantly released Kurt's hand and sipped his own coffee. The two fell into a comfortable silence for several moments, while Blaine mulled over the whole idea of having sex with Kurt on screen. He wasn't going to lie, as a virgin, he was damn scared of it. But he wanted to do it because he felt something with Kurt and it was Kurt Hummel for crying out loud! What sane gay boy wouldn't allow themselves to lose their virginity to him, whether it be on screen or not?

Blaine nearly choked at the thought of not. Could that happen? Could he and Kurt get so close that they would make love for real rather than pretend?

That thought didn't leave his head the rest of their coffee date.

The next day at school Blaine couldn't keep his face from glowing. He had the part. He was going to kiss Kurt Hummel. He was going to make love with Kurt Hummel and he'd decided after a lot of thought that hell, it was Kurt Hummel, why should he care if it was real or acting? It would still be amazing. He'd get to see Kurt naked! How many fans could say that?

Mercedes came up to Blaine as he was standing at his locker, switching out his books for his first class of the day. "So?" she asked, surprising him. Blaine jumped slightly, shut his locker, and leaned against it with what he hoped was a casual expression.

"So what?" he asked.

"Don't play coy with me white boy. You went into that audition room and Rachel, Finn, and I never saw you come out. So what happened?" she said. Blaine tried desperately but he couldn't keep the grin off his face.

"Oh my God Mercedes! Kurt gave me the part!" It was all Mercedes could do not to squeal with happiness for her friend. "And I didn't even actually audition! And then he took me for coffee and we talked about things and...I get to kiss him Mercedes! I get to kiss Kurt Hummel!"

"What's that lady boy?" said a voice and both of them turned to see Karofsky glaring at them. "I thought I told you to stay away from Kurt. He's mine," he said, pounding his fist on the locker and glaring Blaine down.

"I am no one's property, thank you very much." All three of them turned in surprise to see Kurt himself standing in the hallway, arms crossed over his chest. He had his bitch face on and he glare was directed at Karofsky. It was clear that the football player was doing everything he could to cover up his bullying ways. Didn't want to look bad in front of Kurt. Kurt stepped forward and poked a long delicate finger into Karofsky's chest. "Now you listen here David. I am not now, nor will I ever be yours. I don't go for chubby boys who are going to be bald by the time they're thirty. Not to mention, your gay is showing when you shout about me being yours. I got the impression that was something you were trying to hide. You are extraordinarily ordinary and there is nothing you can do about it! Being gay yourself gives you no right to pick on someone else who is out and proud! Furthermore, don't think I have forgotten freshman year. I know you're only nice to me now because I'm famous!" Kurt finished his rant by slamming his hand hard into the locker next to Karofsky's head.

Karofsky just stared at him. He was petrified. Not only by the fact that Kurt Hummel had lashed out at him at his school, but by the fact that his voice had driven incredibly high and there was now a multitude of students surrounding them. To his even worse horror, the group of kids that had gathered to listen to the star rant broke out into cheers and applause.

Kurt stood back, straightened his shirt and offered one arm to Blaine and the other to Mercedes. "Walk you two to class?" he said cheerily, a dazzling smile on his face. Mercedes was surprised that he was offering his arm to her too but she wasn't about to reject the offer.

Both of them gladly took his arm and the three strutted off down the hallway together, looking smug.

Later, after school, Mercedes and Blaine were heading out together, intending to go shopping that afternoon for some stuff to look fabulous just because they were that good.

"I can't believe Rachel wanted you to just forget about doing anything with Kurt. He's a great guy Blaine."

Blaine couldn't help but smile. "Well, it's not easy to like Rachel." He shook his head slightly.

"Rachel Berry you mean?" said a voice. Both of them turned to see Kurt leaning against the entrance to the school, hands in his pockets. Neither of them had expected him to stick around after he'd walked them to class that morning so they were surprised to see him. Blaine nodded his head slowly. Kurt sighed. "Honestly, I don't know what Finn sees in her," he said. Blaine and Mercedes both nodded their agreement.

"Neither do we," Mercedes admitted. "What are you still doing here? I mean, I know you told us you wanted to check out your old high school again but we thought you were going to leave afterward." Kurt smiled and held a hand out for Blaine's. Blaine was slightly surprised but took it anyway and Kurt pulled him a bit closer to him.

"I came to see if this gorgeous boy would like to ride with me to the set," he said with a wink. Blaine shot a glance at Mercedes, instantly feeling bad because they had the shopping plans. She merely smiled and waved him off to go. "I'm terribly sorry if you two had plans together," Kurt said, smiling apologetically. "But Blaine needs o be filling out papers and we need to get started. Besides, I had a little talk with Figgins. Most of the movie is going to be filmed in Columbus and Blaine can't just commute back and forth everyday. Figgins agreed to have his work collected and sent to him there. He'll be staying with me. You're welcome to visit Mercedes. Finn too. Just don't bring Rachel." He gave his head a short shake and grinned when he saw the surprise eminent in both their faces.

"Me? Stay with you?" Kurt only grinned wider and squeezed his hand.

"That's what I said gorgeous. Stay with me in my luxury suite in the hotel in Columbus. If that's okay with you," he added quietly.

Blaine could hardly believe his luck.

"Are you kidding?! That's like a dream come true!" Kurt chuckled.

"Glad you approve. Let's get going. Can't keep the limo waiting." After Blaine attempted not to squeal at the sound of a limo ride, both boys waved good-bye to Mercedes and headed off to make the journey to the set, knowing they'd be spending an awful lot of time together.
