Kurt was sitting in the Lima Bean waiting for Blaine. He was like half an hour to early but he didn't care. He left his home extra early because he didn't want to be late again but he hadn't expected to arrive this early. So he just went into the Lima Bean, sat down as the same table he and Blaine were sitting at yesterday and waited for Blaine. He looked nervously to the door and felt his heart beating faster every time someone entered the coffee shop. He hated himself for being so nervous but he couldn't help it: He was going to have coffee with an amazing boy who was actually gay, had a great sense for fashion and, Kurt hoped that he wasn't just imagining it, seemed to like him. Kurt's mind drifted away with his thoughts about Blaine and he found himself thinking how great he looked with his dark hair, his hazel eyes, his full lips....

“Hey” Kurt heard a voice saying and had to blink a few times to clear his vision.

Blaine was standing in front of him, smiling and was looking ever more gorgeous than Kurt remembered. For a few seconds Kurt found himself unable to react or say something so he just opened his mouth and stared at the boy in front of him. Blaine began to look a bit insecure and raised one eyebrow questioningly.

“Kurt?”, Blaine asked, looking down at him his gaze still confused.

Kurt cleared his throat and felt himself relived as found his voice again.

“Uhh,hey Blaine”, he said embarrassed. “Sorry, I think I was a little bit.....lost in my thoughts.” He smiled apologizing.

Blaine then smiled back and put off his jacket and set down at the table.

“No problem”, he said still smiling. “In the first moment I thought I had something in my face.” He laughed then asked looking conscious again. “There isn't anything in my face, is there?”

“No,no!”, Kurt said and realized that Blaine had caught him staring. Your face is perfect, he thought.

“So, what about coffee?”, Blaine asked his smile turning into a grin. “It's my turn to pay today,so what do you want? Grand nonfat mocha like yesterday?”, he asked smiling sweetly.

“Do we have a plan now about who's going to pay the coffee?”, Kurt asked laughing. Blaine just nodded grinning. “And yes Grand nonfat mocha would be nice!”

Blaine walked away from the table to get their coffee and Kurt smiled at the realization that Blaine had remembered his coffee order.

When Blaine walked back to their table, one coffee in each hand, Kurt was still smiling and thanked Blaine when he reached over the table and put the coffee in front of Kurt.

“So, S&M?”, Blaine asked looking curious.

“Hmm”, Kurt hummed while taking a sip of his coffee.

“Is there any special reason you picked the song?”, Blaine asked before putting his coffee to his lips.

“Well, I always wanted to do that number”, Kurt admitted blushing a little bit. “I don't know why but I always liked the song even if normally I'm not for this kind of ….lyrics.” Kurt blushed a little bit deeper and shrugged.

“I've to admit I was a little bit surprised”, Blaine told him. “But I really like it”, he added and blushed lightly.

Kurt only smiled and took another sip of his coffee.

They then began to talk about their favorite pop singers and argued about who was better: Kurt's favorite Lady GaGa or Blaine's Katy Perry. They laughed a lot and in the end they decided that both of them were awesome. Two hours and another coffee later they realized their original reason to meet today: they still had their English project to do. So they put on their coats and left the coffee shop. They decided to go to Kurt's house because the public library was already closed and Blaine said that his house was still to messy from the move. So they got in their cars and drove to Kurt's house. When they stand in front of the front door Kurt, realized that nobody was at home and his heart began to beat a little bit faster as he opened the door and they both got into the hall. They got out of their jackets and stood a little bit awkward in the hall.

“So, we could go into my room and start working?”, Kurt asked his voice a little bit shaky.

Blaine only nodded and they got up the stairs and into Kurt's room. Kurt motioned Blaine to sit down wherever he wanted and Blaine seated himself on the edge of Kurt's bed. He looked through the room and then to Kurt.

“I like your room”, he said smiling. “It really looks like home.” Kurt wasn't sure but it looked like Blaine's smile was a little bit sad at that point.

“Thank you”, Kurt said softly and seated himself next to Blaine on the bed.

For a moment they just looked at each other and Kurt lost himself in Blaine's hazel eyes.

They didn't say anything for a while until Kurt cleared his throat and said, his voice a little higher than normal: “Maybe we should start with the project if we want to finish it in time.”

Blaine nodded, his gaze dropping to the floor and Kurt got a few sheets and two pencils.

They worked at the project for the next two hours, occasionally smiling at each other, and got forward quickly with their work. They then decided to have a break and went into the kitchen to drink some water. Just then Kurt's father came home from work together with Finn and Carole. They walked into the kitchen and Kurt smiled at them a little bit surprised.

“Blaine, buddy, nice to see you here.”, Finn said and boxed Blaine on the shoulder.

“Hey Dad, Hey Carole!”, Kurt smiled and looked at Blaine who looked a little bit nervous. “This is Blaine. Dad,you know, I told you: He's new at McKinley and were working on an English project together. Blaine this is my dad and my stepmother Carole!”

Burt smiled at Blaine and held his hand towards Blaine. “Nice to meet you”

Blaine took his hand and shook it gently. “Nice to meet you too,sir”

Carole then gave her hand to Blaine and smiled at him. “I'm happy to meet you, sweetheart! I already heard about you.” She winked at Kurt who blushed.

“Well, I think we'll go back to work then”, Kurt said quickly and dragged Blaine by his shoulders out of the room with him. “I'm sorry. I didn't know they would be home this early!”, he said to Blaine.

“Kurt, it's okay”, Blaine said and smiled. “They seem to be pretty nice!”

Kurt smiled brightly at him and realized that he had his hands still on Blaine's shoulders. He dropped them quickly and looked to the ground his cheeks pink.

“Well”, he said still tearing his gaze from the floor up to Blaine's eyes. “Let's get the work done.”

Blaine nodded but neither of them made a move. They just looked each other in the eyes and Kurt saw something in this hazel eyes. Something sad and broken but he didn't think it would be right to ask. After a few seconds in which they just stared at each other Kurt tore his gaze away and smiled softly. They then went back into Kurt's room and worked on the project. It took them another hour before it was finished and Kurt thought that even school work could be fun if he could do it together with Blaine.

“What about a movie?”, Kurt asked looking hopefully up to Blaine. “Or do you have to leave now?”

“No, in fact my parents aren't home so it doesn't matter when I come home!”, Blaine replied smiling but Kurt thought that his smile looked a little bit sad.

“Okay,so what about 'Evita'?”,Kurt asked.

“Yeah, I've never watched it!”, Blaine replied.

“We used to watch it every week when I was a kid. Because I liked it so much. Me, Dad and my mother.”, Kurt smiled sadly and felt a lump forming in his throat.

There was a little silence before Blaine looked at him. “Kurt?”

Kurt didn't know if he was able to speak so he just hummed in response.

“What...what happened to your mother?”, Blaine asked very carefully.

Kurt felt tears welling in his eyes and he gulped. He didn't know why he was so close to cry. His mother has been dead for a long time now and he had talked about it pretty often without crying.

“She died”, Kurt choked out tears blurring his vision. “She ha-had an accident.”

“I'm so sorry”, Blaine answered softly and Kurt looked up, up in this hazel eyes and all the hurt he felt in the last weeks, month and years seemed to overwhelm him suddenly. He had always tried to be strong but he knew he couldn't. He felt a tear running down his cheek. He just wanted to threw himself in Blaine's arms and cry. Cry until everything was better.

“I'm..I'm sorr-rry...I-I don't know...why I cry-y!”, Kurt choked out and felt more tears running down his cheeks. “It...it's not just be-because of my mother bu-but because of ev-everything...”

“Shh”, Blaine answered. “Don't be sorry for this. I know what you mean. Cry if you have to. I won't judge you. It's okay.”

And then Kurt lost it. He couldn't keep the tears from falling and began to shake. Suddenly he felt Blaine's arms around him, holding him tight. He kind of threw himself in Blaine's arms and cried into his sweater. Blaine's hands were rubbing slow circles on his back and after a few minutes his tears finally dried and his body stopped shaking. He felt so calm and safe in Blaine's arms and he wanted to stay like this forever. After a few more minutes he untangled his arms from Blaine and rubbed his eyes.

“I'm sorry”, Kurt muttered feeling a little bit embarrassed. “Normally I don't cry.”

“Kurt, this is okay”,Blaine answered, taking Kurt's hand in his and looking seriously. “I guess you've a lot going on and you can't always be strong! And you don't have to tell me what's going on but if you want to I'll be there.” Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand and smiled at him.

Kurt only nodded and tried to smile back, looking down at their entwined hands.

“Thank you”, he murmured squeezing Blaine's hand back before letting it go. “So,movie?”

“Yeah”, Blaine said and Kurt put in the movie and they seated themselves on Kurt's bed, sitting close to each other.

They sat so close their hands were touching between them and after a few minutes Blaine just took Kurt's hand in his and smiled shyly at Kurt. Kurt only squeezed his hand in reply, feeling his stomach flip and his skin burning. After a few minutes Kurt's head dropped to Blaine's shoulders and Kurt asked himself if this was to much but then he felt Blaine's cheek pressed against his hair and he just sighed in content.

When the film was over it was already dark outside and they slowly sat up and let go of each others hands. Blaine decided that it was time for him to go home and Kurt brought him to the door feeling a little bit disappointed even if he knew Blaine couldn’t stay there for the night. They hugged each other goodbye like the day before and Kurt felt butterflies in his stomach.

“Goodnight”, Blaine said when he was out of the door. “It was really nice today.” He smiled warmly.

“Yeah, it was”, Kurt said returning the smile. “Goodnight and drive carefully.”

Blaine nodded and turned around to get to his car.

“And thank you”, Kurt whispered but he was sure Blaine heard it because he smiled on last time at Kurt before getting into his car.
