---

It had been three weeks since Blaine and Kurt had decided to be friends. Since then they have talked every day, they have hung out, they even text at night before they both fall asleep. It was all going really good with them as just friends, but if Kurt was being completely honest, it was just making him fall for Blaine even more.

He was learning so much about Blaine, so much he had not known before. He learned what a great sense of humor he had. He learned how passionate he was about music, mostly his love of writing it. He also learned, first hand, how caring Blaine is. Whenever Kurt has come to him upset, Blaine actually listens, doing his best to try and cheer him up. Now that Kurt truly knows the real Blaine, it's going to be that much harder just to stay friends, because Kurt is pretty sure he is falling in love.

Kurt hears a beep from across the room. He takes note that it's his phone, warning him of a text message. He gets up off his bed, walking over to his dresser and picking it up to see who has texted him. Once he saw who it was from, his whole face lit up like it was the fourth of July.

Blaine Anderson: Okay I know you are most likely still getting ready because you're slow and love to take your sweet time. I'm all for that but Kuuuuuuurt would you hurry. I'm starving. :/

Kurt Hummel: Why Mr. Anderson, are you really trying to make me hurry? Do you really think I wake up every morning looking so perfect, do you?

Blaine Anderson: No it take you days and days and days. Kurt pleeeease I'm wilting away over here.

Kurt Hummel: Okay Blaine, I'm on my way now. I swear if you are not outside and waiting by your car when I get out there. Bad things, Blaine, bad things.

If Kurt didn't know before that he was in love with Blaine, well, now he did. Kurt would never just rush through getting dressed and fixing his hair in the morning for anyone, but Blaine, Blaine was different. He didn't care how he looked or what anyone thought, he just knew that Blaine never cares if he looks put together or not and he's all that matters.

As soon as Kurt was ready, he ran down the stairs and out the door. His dad had already left to work, so he didn't need to explain where he was going. It's not like he wants to hide his friendship with Blaine from his dad, it's just that he didn't think his dad would fully understand. Sure, his dad knows that Kurt and Blaine get along, but there's a difference between being just acquainted with each other and being in a genuine friendship. Kurt doesn't know if he would approve of their new found friendliness, not to even mention a relationship. What his dad doesn't know won't hurt him, Kurt thinks.

As soon as Kurt is out of the house he sees Blaine standing by his car, looking directly at him. Blaine's smile never fails to give Kurt butterflies in his stomach.

Kurt walks, quickly, getting to Blaine's side before mumbling a silent ‘hi'. Blaine throws his arms around Kurt's shoulders and pulls him into a hug. "Hi," Blaine says back, breathing in the now familiar scent that is Kurt.

They do this a lot, Blaine hugs him, tightly, not letting go for a few seconds and in those few seconds Kurt just listens to Blaine's heartbeat, how it starts off slow and quickly starts moving rapidly in his chest. Kurt knows what it means, of course he does, but he also knows Blaine just wants to be friends, even if all his feelings for Kurt have not went away. So Kurt is going to follow Blaine's lead and just be his friend.

Finally after what felt like an eternity, Blaine pulled away, giving Kurt's arms a brief squeeze. He unglued himself fully off of Kurt, moving over to the driver's side door. "Okay, so all ready to go?" Blaine finally says. Nodding his head yes, Kurt opened the car door and climbed in.

Blaine drove them to a little diner in town called Lulu's. Blaine knew this was one of Kurt's favorite places to eat. They had his favorite breakfast here. Blaine pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car, unbuckling his seat belt he looked over to see Kurt staring at him with a smile that was taking up his whole face.

"What?" Blaine had to ask, his face was burning with embarrassment. He didn't know if he had something on his face, or if Kurt was just happy that they were going out, but he still felt so exposed under Kurt gaze. Like all his secrets were just out in the open.

Kurt shook his head, mumbling a ‘nothing' as he got out of the car, slamming his door shut and waiting for Blaine to come over to his side.

As soon as Blaine was by Kurt's side they started making their way to the front entrance of the diner.

After they were escorted to a booth, and handed their menus, they both started to look for the right meal for them. "I love this place," Kurt said, looking up from his menu and smiling softly at Blaine.

Blaine met his eyes briefly before his own gazed back down to his menu, muttering a low enough "I know," that Kurt didn't hear him.

The waitress came back, asking for their orders, Blaine looked over to Kurt making sure he was ready. Once he confirmed Kurt was, he told him to order first, reminding him the cost didn't matter, seeing as how he was the one that would be paying.

Kurt ordered the banana pancakes with a cup of coffee. Blaine decided to go with the cinnamon raisin french toast with some hot chocolate.

"Blaine, you're just like a little kid. You would get hot chocolate," Kurt gibed, eyeing Blaine's drink from across the booth.

Feigning shock, Blaine moved his hand over his chest and let out a playful gasp. "Kurt, the fact that you think hot chocolate is only for little kids appalls me," he tried to hold back a grin, but was failing miserably.

"Oh, it appalls you? Well, Blaine I guess you're just going to have to get along with me like this." Kurt teased, making Blaine chuckle.

"Oh, shush up and eat your food." Blaine ordered, rolling his eyes playfully at Kurt.

They both ate in a silence for a few minutes, it wasn't an awkward one, they were just simply enjoying each other's company.

Kurt broke the silence, moving his eyes away from his food and looking up towards Blaine, "So, what are your plans for today?" Kurt asked, he was hoping Blaine would want to spend more time together after they had their breakfast.

"Well, let me look at my schedule." Blaine opened the palm of his hand, acting like he was reading it over as he looked, humming every so often. "Well, it seems I am awfully busy today. You see, I have this amazing friend." he said, keeping his face even as he talked. He met Kurt's eyes, "You don't know him of course, but he's really great. Anyway, he and I are going to be spending the whole day together and I was even maybe thinking about taking him to a movie. You know, if that was something he wanted." Blaine finished, smiling cheekily at Kurt.

"I hope you and this friend have so much fun. I will just be home- bored, lonely, and wishing I had someone else just like you do," Kurt replied, sighing dramatically. He knew Blaine was talking about him, he just had a thing where he loved to mess with him and get him to believe he was actually upset. So Kurt looked back down to his food, grabbed his fork and cut it into little pieces as he pouted.

Kurt could see Blaine's eyebrows creased into a frown. He looked concerned like he had done something wrong, when actually he didn't. Kurt just wanted to laugh. "Kurt, I was kidding. I'm sorry. I meant you, I always mean you," Blaine said, his voice low.

Kurt looked up at Blaine, getting a better look at his sad face and that was that, he could not control his laughter anymore. Kurt stared laughing so loud people around the diner started looking over to their table and Blaine just looked confused. "Oh my god. Blaine, I was kidding," He said, trying to hold back the rest of his laughter. "I knew you were talking about me, silly." He could tell that eased Blaine a bit from the smile that took over his face.

After finishing their meal and paying, Kurt and Blaine went back to the car and started towards their next destination.

"So," Blaine started to say once they had stopped at a red light, "what movie do you want to see?"

"I'm in the mood for, Walk the Line," Kurt replied, looking over to Blaine.

"Kurt, you know that is not in theaters right?" Blaine asked. He was confused as to why Kurt wanted to watch a movie that has been out of theaters for a few years now.

"But it is. There is this little theater that plays older movies, well not old old, but like newer kind of old, and it just so happens that that movie is playing there." Kurt said happily, smiling a big smile at Blaine. "It's on 10th Ave," He said, pointing toward the direction.

Blaine knew he could not say no. If Kurt wanted to see the movie (a movie that they could have seen for free) well then they were going to go and see this movie. So Blaine followed Kurt's instructions to the movie theater.

After paying for the movie and some popcorn, Kurt and Blaine started making their way into the theater, looking for a perfect place to sit."How about, we just sit in the back? No one ever really goes back there," Kurt suggested.

"Yeah, okay." Blaine moved down the row of seats until they were sitting in the middle chairs.

Kurt and Blaine talked awhile about nothing at all and everything at the same time, while they wanted for the movie to start.

Kurt loved this, just being able to spend time alone with Blaine and not be scared that his father would be coming over to Blaine's house or walking into their home after work to see Blaine sitting on the couch having a conversation with his son. It was just nice being alone with Blaine and only worrying about having a good time and watching a movie. Kurt just wished that this was not a date, but a real one where they could hold hands or kiss the whole movie, but it's not and they won't.

They started to quiet down just as the movie started.

Kurt was chewing on his popcorn Blaine had bought him, staring intensely at the screen. He was not lying when he said he wanted to watch his movie, it had always been one of his favorites. He loves how through everything Johnny and Jane had been through they still ended up together and happy.

Blaine didn't really care about watching the movie; all he cared about was watching Kurt's face light up. It was one of the most beautiful things he has ever seen, Blaine thought.

They were about an hour into the movie when Kurt all the sudden just rested his head on Blaine's shoulder. Kurt hoped Blaine didn't push him off, or get mad. He just really wanted to be close to him.

Blaine just sat there, frozen, not really knowing what to do. He knew he didn't want Kurt to move. If he was being honest, he loved that Kurt just laid on him and how close Kurt was. He had been wanting to just hold Kurt all day long, but he knew he couldn't, he was glad Kurt made the move and they were not doing anything wrong- he told himself- not really. Kurt was just laying his head on Blaine and that was all it would ever lead to.

Finally after what Blaine feels like is hours, but is only a few seconds, Kurt speaks. "Is this okay?" He asks.

"Y-yes of course." Blaine chokes out.

So they stay like that for the rest of the movie. Most of the time Blaine is just watching Kurt watch the movie and wishing things were different. He thought this being friends thing would make everything better and make his feelings go away. He was wrong, it just made them so much stronger that it was actually physically painful.

About an hour later, Kurt and Blaine were walking out the theater and back to Blaine's car.

They were on their way back to Blaine's house. They had fun day yes, but it was time for them to get home. Burt didn't work a full day on weekends and if they stayed out any later, then they were sure to be caught by Burt.

The whole car ride home was silent, Kurt didn't know if it was because he made everything awkward for them or because Blaine just wanted some quiet time. Whatever reason Kurt didn't want to break the silence so he just let the quiet continue until they were home.

Kurt got out of the car as soon as they pulled to a stop in the driveway. He waited for Blaine to make his way over to him, he did so with a smile. "I had a really good time," Kurt said, opening his arms up for hug.

Blaine pulled Kurt in, squeezing him tightly. "So did I." He closed his eyes and just took in everything. The feeling of Kurt curled around him, the feeling of Kurt's heartbeat pounding in his chest, Kurt's smell. He loved it all and he wished he never had to let go, that he could just forever be holding Kurt in his arms.

Kurt was squeezing back just as tightly, putting all his feeling into it. He just wished Blaine would understand. "I'm so glad." He responded happily. All he wanted was Blaine to have a good time with him, like he always did with Blaine and it seems like he had. So, Kurt was just really happy at this moment.

They pulled away from each other, looking pleased at one another.

"I should go," Kurt whispered, turning his head to look back at his house.

"You should."

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Kurt questioned.

"Of course." Blaine responded as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Okay, bye." Blaine turned around and started making his way back to his house. As soon as Kurt got to his front door he turned around and saw that Blaine was still there watching him, so he gave Blaine a little wave and just after Blaine waved back, Kurt opened his door and walked in.

The next day, Kurt woke up early. He took a quick shower and spent about an hour getting just his hair ready. Since it was going to be a nice warm day, Kurt put on some shorts that made his ass look just right and a tank top. He was excited that he and Blaine were going to spend another full day together, just them. He also really hoped Blaine took a liking to his outfit of choice.

As soon as Kurt's ready he runs out the house in a matter of seconds. He wants to get to Blaine's house and see his face and hug him, as soon as possible.

He only gets three knocks on the door before Blaine answers it, a big smile plastered on his face.

"Good morning," Blaine says, in a low voice, looking Kurt up and down, surprised by what he sees. He had never seen Kurt dress like this, and he was in no way going to complain. Kurt looked good, too good. Blaine stepped aside to let Kurt enter.

"Morning," Kurt replied, moving out of the doorway and into Blaine's house. Once all the way in, Kurt turned to look at Blaine, who had just shut the door and turned around himself.

Blaine stood there for a few moments, looking at Kurt's legs- oh god, he really hoped Kurt could not tell what he was doing- before he finally snapped himself out of it. He can't be looking at Kurt like this, he had promised himself that he would only be Kurt's friend and that was one promise he did not want to break.

"You look really nice," Blaine breathed.

Kurt bit down hard on his lips to keep the smile that was trying to form at bay, but he could do nothing for the pink color forming on his cheeks. "Thank you," he replied.

"What do you want to do?" Blaine questioned, moving closer to Kurt.

"Talk, watch a movie, you make me something to eat. Whichever you prefer of course," Kurt said, batting his eyelashes.

"Fine, I will make your eggs and that is all you're getting." Blaine quipped, moving into the kitchen. He pulled out eggs, butter and mike from the fridge, and started getting to work on making himself and Kurt some eggs.

Once Blaine finished with the eggs he put them onto two separate plates and took them to the living room where Kurt had taken refuge.

Blaine handed a plate over to Kurt and sat down next to him, so close their thighs were touching.

"What, no milk?" Kurt pouted, giving Blaine the saddest puppy dog eyes.

Blaine teasingly groaned at Kurt's extra request, but got up and went back into the kitchen to pour Kurt's milk anyways. He walked back into the living room stopping dead in his tracks. Just seeing Kurt sitting on his couch, smiling at him, looking so beautiful and happy, it just hit him. He was in love with this boy, more than he had ever been in love with anyone. He hated this, he hated that he could never actually be with him, he hated that he fell in love with him.

"Blaine," Kurt's voice broke him out of his thoughts. Shaking his head of such thoughts, Blaine made his way back over to Kurt.

Handing Kurt's milk over to him, Blaine mumbled a sorry.

Soon they were both finished with their food, so Kurt start to get up and Blaine just pulled him back down, "Don't you dare. I will just clean it up later, just leave it on the table." Blaine gestured to the table, where Kurt placed the plates down.

"Thank you for the food, you're the best ever," Kurt said, looking into Blaine's eyes.

"No, I'm not. You're the best ever," Blaine challenged.

"No, Blaine. I don't see how I can be the best when it's actually you who is the best." Kurt proclaimed, laughing loudly.

"Oh, I see the game has started," Blaine said, moving toward Kurt and pushing his whole body down onto the couch until he was hovering over Kurt. "Now, let's see, where were we?" Blaine, questioned. "Oh right." he said, tickling Kurt's sides, "You're one of the most amazing people ever and I am right and there is no changing that."

"Nope," Kurt laughed, kicking his feet everywhere.

"Kurt this will be a lot easier if you just give in," Blaine said, moving his hands up and down Kurt's sides, laughing along loudly.

"Okay, okay. Stop, stop." Kurt shouted, trying to squirm away from Blaine. "I give up, you win." He concluded, staring up and Blaine, breathing heavily.

"I knew I would because I was right." Blaine proclaimed.

"Oh, really and what is it that you won, Mr. Big Shot?" Kurt questioned, raising one eyebrow.

Blaine was looking down at Kurt, heart beating faster than it ever had before, he didn't know why he did it - okay, maybe he did. Biting down on his bottom lip Blaine moved down, inch by slow inch until he was a breath above Kurt's lips. Before he connected their lips Blaine whispered one word, "You."
