Kurt returned home to find Rachel sitting in their living room reading a book. The house silent due to the fact that they had no power.

"Rachel, you ok?" Kurt called out as he opened their front door, "Where are you?"

"Living room," she gave him a grateful smile when he came in from the kitchen, "Thanks for coming home Kurt, I didn't know what to do and the maintenance man wasn't using words that I understood and so I panicked and called you," she stopped talking when she looked up and met Kurt's eye, "Oh no, oh I'm sorry," she whispered, hands moving up to cover her mouth, "I interrupted something with you and Blaine didn't I? I can see it in your eyes" she placed her book on the coffee table as Kurt sat down next to her.

"It's ok Rachel," Kurt tried to smile; Rachel took one of his hands in both of hers and gave them a gentle squeeze.

"I promise that tomorrow I will vacate our apartment for as long as you need so you can invite Blaine over and pick up from where you left off," Kurt smiled at her, "So," Rachel exclaimed, moving on from feeling guilty, What happened? How come Blaine's roommate answered your phone?"

"I left it in the kitchen," Kurt answered plainly, trying to draw out torturing Rachel with this new information. The plan backfired however when she squeezed his hand hard in excitement.

"Where did you go?"

"His bedroom,"

"Oh my gosh Kurt! You little slut, getting it after the second date," she laughed.

"Ok," Kurt began, holding up a hand to silence her, "Firstly, I don't think we could class either of our meeting over the past twenty four hours as dates, and secondly, I didn't ‘get it'" he raised both of his hands to signal air quotes, "We went down to his room so I could fix his hair and then one thing led to another and we kind of ended up making out in his barber's chair," Kurt's voice trailed off.

"Oh my god Kurt, you finally kissed," she exclaimed in excitement, "Now I'm definitely leaving tomorrow so you can invite him over. I've been called in to work tomorrow, someone got sick and can't do their usual Sunday shift so I've got to cover for them. Go and call Blaine now and invite him over,"

"Rachel, you need to slow down," Kurt said slowly and quietly to his best friend as he placed a hand on her shoulder, "First, when is the maintenance man coming back, we need to find out how long we've got with now power or water,"

"Rachel took a deep and calming breath as Kurt instructed.

"He said he'd be back in half an hour, and that was about twenty five minutes ago," Kurt nodded.

"Ok, that's a start," and as if right on cue, there was a knock at their door, "I've got it," Kurt replied as he stood from the couch and went to talk to the man at the door.

He returned ten minutes later, now fully caught up on the situation.

"Ok," he sat back on the couch next to Rachel and proceeded to explain in laymen's terms, what he had just been told, "So apparently there's construction going on down the street and they accidentally hit the water main. Because of that they then had to switch the power off so that there was no possibility of anyone getting shocked. They don't know how long the repairs will take, but they're hoping everything should be back up and running by tomorrow at noon," Rachel nodded at Kurt's simple explanation.

"Ok, now I want you ring Blaine and invite him over tomorrow, you don't have work, he shouldn't have work and I will pretend that I don't exist," Rachel smiled, gesturing towards Kurt's phone. Kurt managed to hide his grin as he stood from the couch and headed down towards his room, shutting the door firmly behind him so that Rachel couldn't hear.

He scrolled through his contacts, smiling when he found the familiar number, and hit call. His heart rate started to increase with each ring until -

"Hey Kurt,"

"Hey Blaine, sorry to rush out on you so fast earlier," Kurt was using every muscle in his body to keep his breathing calm and steady.

"Kurt, you don't have to apologise, but how is Rachel, did you get everything sorted out?" Kurt smiled at the genuine concern in Blaine's voice.

"Rachel's fine, there's some construction going on down the street and they hit the water main which meant they had to shut off the power for safety, but it should be back by tomorrow at noon,"

"That's a relief. So what are you doing for dinner tonight," Kurt felt his breath catch in his throat at Blaine's nervous sounding tone. He groaned internally when he realised he had work.

"I'll be eating on the run I'm afraid, we've got two shows tonight. But Rachel's going to be out tomorrow so can I make it up to you and you can come over here for dinner?" the words were out of mouth before he'd even realised he'd said them. He held his breath waiting for Blaine's reply.

"I'd love to Kurt. I have to do a friends hair in the afternoon, but I'll be round after that," Kurt could hear the smile in his voice.

"Ok," Kurt breathed, "That sounds good. Is there any food that you really don't like or are allergic to, I don't want to kill you on a date," he'd done it again. He clapped his hand over his mouth, but it was too late, the words were out there now.

"So it's a date now is it?" Blaine asked, in a slightly teasing tone.

"Oh god Blaine, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound so forward it's just that I-,"

"Kurt," Blaine interrupted, "Kurt its fine. I'm looking forward to our first official date," Kurt thought his face was going to split in two with how hard he was smiling, "And no, there's no food that I don't like, and I'm only allergic to cilantro,"

"Ok, I don't like cilantro so that works out perfectly," he smiled again as Blaine chuckled down the line, "I'll text you my address tomorrow,"

"Ok," Blaine's voice suddenly became softer, yet deeper at the same time, Kurt felt his knees tremble a little at the sound.

"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow Blaine,"

"I look forward to it," Blaine replied before they both said goodbye and hung up.

"So, how did it go?" Rachel asked upon Kurt's arrival back into the living room.

"I have a date tomorrow night," Kurt couldn't hear himself think over Rachel squeals of excitement as she jumped up to give him a hug. The excitement was short lived though because Kurt had to get ready for work before getting a quick bite to eat and rushing out the door. He was glad for the double show tonight as it took his mind off of his ‘date' with Blaine tomorrow.

It wasn't until he was back in his own bed, lying wide awake on his back, when reality set in.

"Oh my god," he whispered to himself, "I have a date. I have a date with Blaine," he couldn't keep the grin from taking over his whole face and his feet kicked on their own accord with excitement.

Kurt Hummel had a date with Blaine Anderson.
