The following morning Kurt was woken up by Rachel jumping on his bed. "Oh my god Rachel! What the hell! What time is it?"

"It's 7:30! Blaine just called me! Get up and get dressed he's picking you up in an hour for your date!"

He smiled and texted him.�Morning baby!�Any particular way I should dress for this date? ~Kurt

Morning! Um, just dress as you would if we were going to Breadstix. I'll see you soon I love you! ~Blaine

He smiled�I love you too!~Kurt

He grabbed an outfit and hopped in the shower. When he got out he had about fifteen minutes until Blaine was due to arrive.

He did his hair as he usually did and by the time he was done there was a knock at the door. He smiled and opened the door. Blaine smiled at him "Hey there!"

He smiled at him, he was dressed up but not too dressed up, in a red and white striped collared shirt with a red cardigan and jeans. "Hi!"

Blaine walked in and kissed him softly. "So, are you ready to go?"

He nodded "Yeah, let's go."

Blaine took his hand and they left the hotel heading down the street.�

He looked around, nobody was scoffing at them as they walked down the sidewalk. He wasn't used to it, he liked it. "So, where are we going?"

Blaine smiled as they turned the corner and pointed "We are having breakfast at�Tiffany's."

He looked at him shaking his head "You are too adorable."

They went inside and got breakfast and sat down at a table. Blaine looked at him, he was positively glowing. In a way it concerned him, he had just lost Nationals. "So, how are you holding up?"

He smiled sadly "I'm doing okay. I mean, sure we lost and it was pretty much my fault and Santana hates me and is shooting daggers at me whenever she sees me. But, it was amazing, I soloed at Nationals, and." He smiled at Blaine and took his hand "my boyfriend flew all the way from Ohio to see me at Nationals. So I'm okay."

Blaine smiled, he was so proud of him. He knew that if this had happened earlier in the year he'd be devastated, it just showed him how much Kurt had changed in the time he's known him. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."�

He smiled "Enough about me, tell me how your last day of school went!"

Blaine chuckled "Okay, well. It was interesting to say the least..."

He looked at his boyfriend curiously "How so?"

"Well, I found out that I passed my history final, with flying colors."

He smiled "See! I told you had nothing to worry about!"

"But, packing to go home was a bit emotional...sorta."

He was confused "What? How the hell is packing emotional?"

Blaine sighed "Have I ever told about how Jake always spends a few days with me before he flies back to Pennsylvania?"

He shook his head 'No, you haven't. I figured he flied back as soon as finals were over."

"He doesn't fly back then,�usually. But this year was different, he's used to coming home with me after school let's out and he couldn't this year because I flew out here to see you at Nationals, he got all pissed off and said and I quote 'But it's not faaaiiir I wanna see Kurt kick ass too!'"

He felt a little guilty, he knew Jake didn't have any brothers or sisters, Blaine was the closest thing to a brother he has. "Oh, well I feel like an asshole now."

"Hey, no don't. You don't need to feel like an asshole.He understands. You know how Jake is."

He nodded "I know, but I still feel bad. I mean you're the closest thing to a brother he has and I pretty much just stole you away."

Blaine shook his head and he lifted Kurt's chin "Hey, listen to me. Yes, Jake is like a brother to me and I love the guy. He knows that I was coming to see you at Nationals as a birthday present from Finn. Honestly he's not mad at you for stealing me away," Blaine chuckled "He's pissed at Finn for not inviting him along, he wanted to see you perform. He get's it Kurt."�

Blaine could sense that Kurt still wasn't believing him. He took Kurt's hand from across the table "Listen, it's okay, I don't want you to get down on yourself for this okay? I love you."

He smiled at Blaine, he was right. "I love you too."

"So, �how did you end up singing the solo at Nationals?"

He smiled "Well, I'm guessing that Finn had something to do with it as part of his big surprise for me. They were the ones who brought it up and it was odd cause I literally never solo. Rachel and Finn are always the ones who solo."

"How did Rachel take it?"

He looked at Blaine and said "Well, surprisingly she took it well. She wanted me to have it. They're reasoning was sweet, they wanted me to sing to you, especially after everything we went through over the past few weeks. So I wrote the song on the plane and the rest was history."

Blaine smiled at his boyfriend "I still can't believe you wrote that amazing song for�me."

He blushed shaking his head. "My song was�nothing�compared to the songs that�you�write."

Blaine chuckled "Kurt, my songs honestly suck. That song you wrote, was beautiful. It brought me to tears yesterday.I could tell by the lyrics that you wrote it specifically for me. When I look at you, I see forgiveness I see the truth. You told me that once. That's what made it special, you used things we've said to each other in that song,�that's�why it touched me so much."

He didn't know what to say, he knew that it touched Blaine but he didn't think it was special. "Blaine, I-I don't know what to say."

Blaine took his hand "You don't have to say anything." Blaine looked at his watch, it was 11:30. "Well, we need to get going, part two of our date commences in an hour."

"Okay..."�

Blaine took Kurt's hand and they left Tiffany's. "So, are you going to tell me where we're going?"

Blaine chuckled, always the impatient one. "Nope, if I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it?"

He sighed, Blaine was right. "No, I guess not."

Blaine kissed his cheek, "It'll be worth it I promise."

They continued walking and when they reached their destination Kurt's jaw dropped. There was a horse drawn carriage near central park waiting for them. "Blaine Joseph Anderson! You�didn't!"

"I did! Come on, let's get in we have a carriage ride around Central Park." Blaine helped Kurt up into the carriage and put his arm around him once they began to move

He shook his head in disbelief "I can't believe this. I love you so much!"

"I love you too."

He sighed "So, what are your plans for the summer?"

"Well, there's this summer tour at six flags that I'm gonna audition for. And of course I'll be spending a majority of it with the man I love."

"That sounds good to me."

They drove through Central park admiring everything. As they drove through Kurt looked at Blaine and asked "Can I talk to you about something?"

Blaine nodded "Of course you can. You can talk to me about�anything�you know that."

He smiled�"I do, but I don't know what'd you'd think about this though..."

Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand in reassurance and said "Hey, no matter what it is you can tell me."

He sighed and said "Well, being in New York has had me thinking about my future...next year we'll be seniors. I-I think I belong here in New York. There's something about this city that makes it feel like home. I don't know what it is."

Blaine smiled "Sweetie, you didn't even have to tell me I already knew that."

He looked at Blaine surprised "You did?"

Blaine nodded smiling. "Of course, I can tell just by the way you act while you're here. You seem comfortable."

He nodded "I do, I can just be myself here and nobody judges it. I can walk hand in hand with you down the street here without getting stares or slurs. I like it, I could get used to it."

"I know what you mean. I feel at home here too. We've still got a whole year to figure things out so when that time comes, we'll talk about it then."

He nodded "Okay,"

They drove through the rest of the park and by the time they got out it was time to go to the next destination. When they arrived Kurt's jaw dropped. "Blaine, we're at Sardi's."

Blaine chuckled, Kurt was so adorable when he was surprised. "Yes, yes we are. We have reservations before the last part of our date tonight."

"Blaine! This is too much, seriously!"

Blaine shook his head "Nonsense! Let's go, our reservations are at 4:30."

They got into the�restaurant�and were seated, they ordered and recieved their meals and Blaine's jaw dropped as he saw who was getting up.

"Baby, look who's right behind you."

He looked over and he gasped, it was Patti LuPone. "Oh my god!"

"Go talk to her! This may be your only chance."

He nodded and walked over to her nervously. "Uh, excuse me Ms.LuPone."

"Yes?" She replied,

"Uh, I just wanted t-to say you're my idol."

She smiled at him. "Oh, thank you that's very sweet of you. What's your name?"

He smiled "Kurt Hummel, this is my boyfriend Blaine Anderson."

"Pleasure."

She looked at Kurt, "Are you an actor?"

He nodded "Yes, well I want to be. I'm in High School."

She looked at him. "Wait, I recognize you...Were you just at the National Show Choir Competition?"

He nodded "Y-yeah, I'm part of New Directions from William McKinley High in Lima, Ohio."

She smiled "Ahh, I remember you, you were that soloist that blew everyone away with your beautiful voice." She looked at Blaine "That song was about him wasn't it?"

He nodded "Yes, it was. Thank you."

She smiled "Well, Kurt it was lovely to meet you. Promise me one thing. Never give up okay?"

He nodded "Yes Ms. LuPone I promise."

She gave both of them a brief hug. "Take care." She walked away.

He sat back down and looked at Blaine "Blaine, did that just happen?"

Blaine's jaw was on the ground "Y-yeah Babe, it just happened."

He squealed "Oh my god! I need to text Rachel!"

Blaine and I are at Sardi's. You'll NEVER guess who we just ran into! ~Kurt

OMG the birthplace of the Tony Award! LUUCKY! And if you saw Barbra Streisand I swear...~Rachel

Not Barbra Streisand, Ms. PATTI LuPONE! ~Kurt

OH.MY.GOD. NO WAY! I WANT DETAILS WHEN YOU GET HOME KURT!~Rachel.

Oh there will be details! I g2g Blaine's staring, I think he has something to tell me...~Kurt

Okay ttyl! ~Rachel

"What's wrong?" he asked as he saw Blaine staring.

"Nothing, Buuut, we do have to go. Are you ready?"

He nodded "Yeah!" Blaine paid for dinner ignoring Kurt's protests that he would pay.

As they were walking Blaine stopped him in Time Square. "I have one more surprise for you."

He sighed, this was really too much. "Blaine, today has been amazing! I really don't need anything else!"

Blaine shook his head "Kurt, take this."�

Blaine handed him an envelope. Once he opened it he screamed "Oh my god! Blaine Michael Anderson! Is this a joke!?" Inside the envelope were two tickets to�"Wicked"

Blaine shook his head "Nope, it's real and the show starts soon so let's go." They went inside the theatre and watched the show, Kurt was mouthing along with the words.

During For Good, Kurt looked at Blaine, that song really related to them. He was crying a little bit and Blaine put his arm around Kurt. After the show they made their way back to the hotel.

Once Blaine walked Kurt to his hotel room.�"Blaine, this was an amazing night,thank you."

Blaine smiled "You're welcome, I'm glad you had a good time."

He sighed "I�really�don't want to go home tomorrow."

"I know, I don't either but we'll be back."

He nodded knowing that it was true. "Well, goodnight Blaine, I love you."

"I love you too."

Blaine pulled Kurt into a kiss cupping his smooth cheek. He reluctantly parted from Blaine's lips. "I gotta go, I love you."

"I love you too Kurt."

He kissed him again quickly and walked into their hotel room. Rachel immediately wanted details and he gave them to her as he packed his bag for their flight tomorrow.

After a group photo the next morning the New Directions made their way to the airport, knowing that they lost but also knowing that they will have another shot. Kurt and Blaine sat with each other both looking forward to spending the summer together.
