Rachel hid her smile behind her cup of coffee. She met Mel's eyes across the coffee shop and Mel shook her head, smiling.
'They're like this all the time' was the silent message sent between the two girls.
"Just try it!" Blaine pouted, turning the full puppy dog expression on.
"No! Don't look at me like that!" Kurt huffed, cursing the fact that Blaine knew he couldn't say no to the puppy dog eyes.
"Why won't you just try?"
"Whipped cream is just… sugar!"
"Pleaaaaaaase Kurtiepie!" Blaine begged, holding his cup out.
"Never call me Kurtiepie again and I will."
"Deal." Blaine grinned.
Rachel rolled her eyes fondly as Kurt lifted Blaine's drink to his mouth and sipped. He moaned appreciatively and Blaine smirked smugly, though looking a little flustered at the sounds coming from Kurt's mouth.
"You've got a little…" Blaine gestured to Kurt's chin.
"Wha-Oh. Right, thanks." A flush worked its way up Kurt's cheeks as he tried to wipe the whipped cream.
"Wait, let me…" Blaine reached over and used his thumb to clean it off, never breaking eye contact.
They sat and stared into eachother's eyes for a few minutes, before Rachel cleared her throat. It was all in good nature though, as Rachel really liked Blaine (one could even say they were best friends) and was satisfied Kurt finally looked healthy and happy again.
They both averted their eyes quickly, drinking from their respective cups. Rachel burst into laughter.
Another chair was pulled to their little table by Mel, who was now on her break.
"If you two don't stop, I'm going to get a cavity."
The boys blushed and Rachel giggled again, knowing Mel was only teasing. Mel was also extremely happy that their best friends seemed to like eachother so much.
"We still on for tomorrow night?" Mel asked, snatching Blaine's cup of hot chocolate and sipping from it. He swatted at her hand playfully, but let her continue.
"Sure. But Dylan's probably going to keep me late, so I won't be there until 7 ish." Kurt shrugged, like this was no big deal.
Rachel and Blaine both frowned, whilst Mel reached over and patted Kurt's hand sympathetically. All three still thought Dylan was over-working Kurt, but any time they attempted to talk about it, Kurt would change the subject quickly.
"Okay, well we'll go down at half 6 and meet you there?" Rachel suggested, Blaine and Mel nodding in reply. The group of four were planning to go to a new bar, which were having a karaoke night.
"Sorted! Right, I need to go back to work." Kurt stood and hugged the girls' good bye.
He leaned forward, pecked Blaine on the lips and walked towards the door.
"Bye babe." Blaine called after him. He sighed happily, watching Kurt saunter down the street towards his building.
Rachel and Mel made it thirty seconds before they started waggling their eyebrows at Blaine and giggling childishly.
Blaine was too much in a daze to notice.
