The tension between Kurt and Blaine was high. Blaine was still finding it difficult to not jump Kurt every time he saw him and Kurt was struggling with similar issues. Fed up with the quick, sneaky, longing looks that the pair kept firing at one another when they didnt notice, David was eager to know the next step of the plan.

When Warbler practise was finished and everyone had left, David turned to Wes with wide eyes and Wes just grinned.

"Time for step five already?" he asked.

"Yup! Now, come on and tell me what it is!" David prompted.

"Okay, so step five is one well have to plan very carefully to make work. And itll probably make them realise were planning something."

"So what is step five?"

"Leave the lovers."

Wes was right. They did have to plan it very carefully. The plan was to set Kurt and Blaine up on a date. Not just their regular coffee date in a busy shop after school. A proper romantic date, complete with candles, flirty foods and music. And the only way that they could get the boys to agree to one of those would be to ditch them. So, they began planning straight away. They found a restaurant that was typically used for romance and dates and they then asked Kurt and Blaine if they would like to go out to dinner with them, as friends of course. Kurt and Blaine agreed, happy to spend time with their friends.

Making the reservation was a little complicated. He had to explain that it was a reservation for two but hed be paying before hand and he said he wanted to order the food before hand too. The woman on the phone was a little confused to he decided to explain further.

"Look, I have these two friends and theyre just destined to be together, so I came up with this plan: The 7 Step Plan To Getting Your Two Oblivious Gay Friends Together and-"

"Bit of a long name isnt it?" the woman cut him off.

Wes sighed. "Yes, it is. Now I need them to think that were all going out to dinner together, but really itll just be them. And Ill be paying for everything so that way they cant choose what food they have. I have it all planned out."

"Okay, Im listening."

By the end of the conversation the woman seemed happy to help and agreed to Wes plan. Now all he needed to do was ditch Kurt and Blaine.

He and David decided the best way to do it was to let them make their own way there, use an excuse for not being able to ride with them and then have them informed that they cant make it. Then the server would explain that their meals have been ordered and paid for. It seemed simple, but it had to go to plan.

Friday night found Kurt and Blaine making their way to the restaurant Wes had given them the address for.

"I have no idea what its going to be like," Blaine informed Kurt. "We normally just go to Applebees or something."

"Why did they want us to come so far out anyway?" Kurt questioned. "I mean there are loads of restaurant near Dalton. This ones at least twice the distance."

"Well, looks like were going to find out whats so special about it," Blaine said as he pulled into the car park.

The restaurant was gorgeous from the outside. Spotlights were embedded in the floor around the building and through large windows you could see the dim flickering of candles in several chandeliers. Above the door and on a sign at the entrance was the name of the restaurant in large, metallic letters: Primo.

"Wow. This place looks fancy," Blaine commented.

"And expensive," Kurt added.

"Dont worry about that bit. Wes wouldnt make us pay too much for a meal," Blaine assured him.

"Where are Wes and David anyway?"

"They popped in to see Wes family but they told us to go in and wait. The bookings under Wes name."

"Got it," Kurt confirmed.

They walked into the restaurant, Kurt holding the door open for Blaine which was something that had become common for the pair, and gave the woman at the front Wes name. She smiled knowingly at them and led them to their table, which seemed a little small for four but Kurt and Blaine didnt question it.

"Ill be right back," the woman said before trotting off towards another woman and whispering something in her ear. The other womans face lit up and she grabbed a jug of water and sped towards them.

"Kurt and Blaine?" she asked when she approached.

"Erm, yes," Kurt confirmed.

"Your friend Wes called and told me to tell you he and your other friend cant make it and they couldnt call because his cells dead and he didnt know any of your numbers by heart," the woman explained.

"Oh, I see," Blaine said, confusedly. "Guess well just be picking something up on the way back, then."

"Oh, thats not necessary," the woman grinned. "Hes already ordered and paid for your meals." Kurt and Blaine looked at each other with a matching look of suspicion. "Ill be right back with your starters!" she said before either could protest.

When she was gone, Kurt leaned across the table and whispered, "what do you think they have planned?"

"No idea," Blaine whispered back. "But Im sure itll go wrong if its a Wes and David plan!"

"Hm, well lets not waste a free meal. Water?"

Blaine smiled and pushed his glass an inch forward towards Kurt. Kurt took the wine glass, twirling the stem between his fingers before settling it back on the table and pouring water into it. He then set it back down in front of Blaine before repeating the action with his own glass. The waitress who theyd seen earlier came back balancing a tray on her hand and stopped at their table.

"Hello, Im Katy, and I will be your server for the night. Anything you need just call me over. Your friend has ordered you starters, mains and desserts so you dont have to worry about ordering or paying for everything. Now here are your starters, along with a message he asked me to leave with them." Katy set a bowl in front of both Kurt and Blaine and then put a note in the middle of the table. "Enjoy!" And with that she flounced off in the direction of the kitchen. Both boys were left eyeing the food and the note. Kurt was the first to reach out and take the slip of paper.

"Dear Kurtie and Blainers," he read. "David and I are super sorry we cant make it tonight but something came up. Im sure youll enjoy your dinner anyway! For starters, we chose Cherry Tomato, Mozzarella & Rocket Salad because we knew Kurt would be mad at us if we didnt include something healthy in your meal and wed already decided the main and desserts. Anyway, Blaine will eat it too because hell do anything for Kurt. Have fun! Your bestest friends ever, Wes and David."

Kurt set the note next to his bowl and looked up at Blaine who was blushing slightly but otherwise looked puzzled.

"Well at least this explains why theyve been questioning me on your eating habits and food allergies," Blaine said with a smirk.

"You know my eating habits and food allergies?" Kurt asked curiously.

"Yeah, we eat together pretty much every meal," Blaine reminded him. And it was true. They ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together Monday to Thursday. Fridays Kurt went home for his family Friday night dinner and usually stayed until Sunday, but theyd normally meet up and go out anyway. Kurt only just realised how much time he actually spent with Blaine.

They began their starters, chatting about their separate theories of why Wes and David set them up. One being they were actually arranging a surprise party, another being that they were having a secret Warbler intervention and another being that their roommates, Thad and Nick, had asked Wes and David to get rid of them so they could have their significant other over.

It was only when their main course came, along with another message, that Blaine clicked. Of course, it was worrying that the waitress only brought over one plate, even though it was big enough for two servings and the note made his realisation clear.

"Our dearest friends," Blaine read this time. "We hope you enjoyed your starters. Here is your main course. Ive seen the way you watch Lady and the Tramp, Blaine, so I thought you could have your moment. And Kurt, dont bitch me out for picking a messy food, okay? Its a good meal! Enjoy! Wes and David."

Blaine looked at the food then at Kurt. He then went on to take in his surroundings. A candle flickering gently on the table, the lights dimmed just so you could see the person in front of you and what you were eating, the couples sat around the room, holding hands and giggling at the person they ate with. He then looked back to the food. Spaghetti.

"Oh my god," Blaine said suddenly. Kurt was still watching him with curiosity as he continued to look around.

"What?" Kurt asked. "Whats wrong?"

"I completely understand whats going on here now. I cant believe theyd do this!"

"Blaine, what am I missing here?"

"Its a date, Kurt," Blaine explained. "Wes and David have set us up on a date."

Kurt blinked a few times before looking around and seemingly making the connection too. "Oh, I see," he said, his eyes darting between the plate of spaghetti between them and Blaine.

"We can go. You know, if you feel uncomfortable or just want to leave. Or we could eat as friends," Blaine suggested.

"Do you not want to be on a date with me?" Kurt asked, quietly. So quiet in fact that Blaine nearly didnt hear him.

"I... Well, yes, but... Do you? I dont want to do anything you dont want to do," Blaine said.

Kurt looked up with a smile. "Well, our dear friend Wesley has paid for a date, so let us enjoy said date." And with that, Kurt took his fork and used it to stab and twirl a strand of spaghetti. He then took the end of the spaghetti in his mouth and sucked it, carefully unravelling it off his fork.

He then looked at Blaine who was still watching him, half in shock of Kurt not turning down the idea of it being a date and half in awe of the way Kurt ate spaghetti. He finally blinked a couple of times before snapping into action and also grabbing his fork.

"Right, we may as well make the most of it," Blaine said and with a grin in Kurts direction, he also dug his fork in.

A couple of hours later, the boys came stumbling out of the restaurant, trying to contain their laughter as they made their way to Blaines car.

"Oh my God, chocolate covered strawberries? Was that Wes attempt at a seductive dessert?" Kurt laughed as they climbed in and buckled up. Blaine laughed along, deciding to not mention that Kurt actually did look really sexy eating those strawberries.

"Well, Im surprised his attempt at romance actually went pretty smoothly. Ask his girlfriend. Last Valentines day, he invited her over for a romantic meal. He ended up burning it and they had to get pizza," Blaine laughed.

"That is such a Wes thing to do," Kurt giggled. "But Id say he did pretty well tonight."

Blaine smiled at Kurt before turning his attention back to the road. "So you enjoyed yourself?"

"Yeah! It was great! Why? Didnt you?"

"Oh, yeah, of course I did. Even if it was one of Wes plans."

"Im glad," Kurt beamed. "This might be weird of me to ask, and you can say no, thats completely fine, but what would you say to another?"

"Another what?" Blaine asked.

"Another date. As in, without Wes and David being involved and we choose our own food," Kurt suggested. There was a second of silence before Kurt said, "It doesnt matter. It was stupid of me to ask."

"No, no," Blaine assured him. "I would love to. And Im sure organising a date ourselves would mean me not embarrassing myself over my failed attempt to eat spaghetti smoothly."

Kurt laughed. "It was cute," he insisted.

"No, it wasnt!"

"Yes, it was. Now, hush up, Anderson. I love this song!"

And with that, Kurt turned up the radio. Blaine couldnt help but smile as he heard the song playing. Teenage Dream.
