"Man, I love Target Kurt, it has like everything you need," he said with a grin.
"Yes, Finn, Target it very nice," he assured.
"Blaine is pretty cool too. He seemed fine when everyone was bothering him with questions and he kept smiling at you too," Finn rambled on. Kurt shifted when he heard Blaine's name and grinned.
"Really, he kept looking at me?"
"Yep, super cool dude."
"What about Rachel? I saw you drooling over her singing."
"I wished she wouldn't have shown so much skin," he said with a frown.
"It's obvious you like her, just tell her how you feel."
"No she won't like that, she is an independent woman. I will just hold her back from her dreams."
"Finn," Kurt said as he look over at Finn, "just tell her."

Carl was working, adjusting the bikini's near the front of the store.
He looked over and saw two boys enter. The taller one was talking animatedly to the shorter one. He got a closer look and noticed one of them was the boy Blaine was with last night. He got excited, Blaine was being cheated on, he didn't have to do much work now to win Blaine. He just had to stand back and watch things unfold then he will hug Blaine for comfort winning his heart. He looked down the corner and saw Blaine walking their way. He hid behind the bikinis and watched the events take place.
Blaine noticed a tall figure walking then next to him a handsome man. Blaine did a tiny jump with a smile showing all his teeth and skip-jogged to Kurt giving him a big hug. Kurt hugged back just as enthusiastically and laughed. The taller boy stood to the side and smiled at his brother's happiness.
Well that worked out great, Carl thought and walked away.
"Hi Kurt! Hi Finn! Anything you need help with?" he leaned into Kurt's ear, "I can give you a private tour."
Kurt smiled, "I am just here for some pens, and Finn wanted to look at the video games, even though he works at a video game store."
"I like video games," Finn shrugged as he started walking towards the electronics.
"Don't get lost Finn," Kurt yelled after him, "do you have your phone with you?"
Finn patted his pockets and gave a thumbs up.
"Is it charged?" Finn gave a confused look and dug in his pockets, he pulled it out to see if his phone was turned on, he gave a smile and another thumbs up and walked away.
"And he thinks he is the big brother in the family," Kurt said shaking his head.
Blaine laughed. "I am glad you came to visit me."
"Don't flatter yourself," Kurt swatted his arm, "I need pens."
"Well then sir, may I escort you to the pens," he offered out his arm.
"Why thank you," he took his arm, "I haven't the slightest idea where they are."

Wes was in the candy aisle and ran over to the next aisle where David was with the teas.
"What?" David asked looking at Wes wondering why he just ran here.
Wes pointed down the aisle at two boys arm in arm laughing and talking to each other.
David's eyes got big and his lips pouted looking like a kitten.
"Awwww, I am soooo proud. Our baby's all grown up" he said fake crying
"They are so happy together!" Wes said proudly.
"I am delighted."
"Thrilled!"
"Pleased!"
"We should work for the government as undercover spies, we didn't even get caught."
"Or at least at Eharmony or match dot com"
"Ohh, that would be fun," David said clapping his hands together.
::
"So here are the pens." Blaine took Kurt the long way, around the whole store.
"Oh my," Kurt said putting his hand up to his mouth, "what a wide selection. How am I suppose to choose just one brand? Any suggestions?"
"Hmm," Blaine tapped his chin, "Well, Bic is trustworthy, but Papermate has a stylish design."
"Papermate it is then," Kurt grabbed a bag then frowned.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked.
"Well, I have been meaning to look at this book."
Blaine smiled, "I know just where the books are."
"Perfect," Kurt quirked up.
On the way to the books Blaine brushed against Kurt's side, "So I was thinking," he smirked.
"Yes," Kurt egged on.
"About our kiss last night, I feel I have to apologize."
"No, no, you don't have to," Kurt shook his head. What was he talking about?
"I mean, it was too short. Too quick, it should have been longer," Blaine's side was completely flush against Kurt's walking, "I promise it won't happen again," he whispered.
Kurt's heart beat picked up speed and he made a small whelp when Blaine was very close to his ear. Both of their cheeks were dark red, they noticed and looked away shyly.
They walked around and talked for a little bit longer till Blaine reluctantly said he had to go back to work. Kurt also had to find Finn and return back to the shop.
They gave a long hug and walked off in different directions.

Carl was sitting in the break room when David and Wes walked in.
"Hey Carl," David asked, "why are you such a douche bag?"
"What?" Carl asked confused.
"You were mean to Blaine and now suddenly you want to be friends?"
"I have always been nice to Blaine."
"Liar," David shouted.
Wes pipped up, "Just leave him alone, he doesn't want you. He is happy."
"We saw you singing to him last night."
"Just let it go, he stopped liking you once he realized you were a jerk and now you miss the attention."
They turned around on their heels and walked briskly out the door.
David ran back inside, "I forgot my water," he turned his head up in the air and grabbed his water, then strutted out.

Kurt sat in class the next day waiting for the day to be over with already and it was only first period.
The morning announcements where on and Kurt could care less. He felt his phone vibrate, he got a text. He saw Blaine's name and smiled automatically.
Blaine: Do you have practice today?
Kurt: nope
Blaine: Do you have to work?
Kurt: nope
Blaine: Do you have any plans after school?
Kurt: nope
Blaine: okay
A few minutes passed by.
Kurt: Are you going to ask me to do anything?
Blaine: nope, busy
Kurt: Okay. I will just watch a sad movie all by myself, alone in a big house, with a bowl full of popcorn.
Blaine: ok.
Blaine: just wondering... Where do you live? I forgot.
Kurt: number four private drive
Blaine: cool, say hi to Harry for me!
Kurt: See you at 3?
Blaine: Can't wait!

Blaine stopped on Kurt's front porch and looked at his watch. It was 2:59. He went to knock but heard a soft piano coming through the other side. It sounded beautiful and didn't want to disrupt it.
He waited till the song was over then knocked on the door.
Kurt opened it with a smile, he saw Blaine and rushed into him to give a hug.
"Hi, Blaine!"
"Hello, where you just playing the piano."
They walked through the door, "Yeah, I like to play when I am waiting."
"It sounded beautiful."
"Oh I was just messing around," he ducked his head, "thanks."
Blaine stared at Kurt and tried to memorize how he looked when he was shy. Smooth, pale skin, with a hint of red on the cheeks. His pants and shirt fit him perfect and accentuated his figure. Blaine had a sudden urge to know how his figure felt under his finger tips.
"So do I get a tour?" he asked breaking away from his thoughts.
"Sure," Kurt said, "follow me."
Kurt walked into the kitchen with Blaine following.
"This is where food is prepared and cooked," he put out a hand waving it around to add emphasis.
"Do you cook?" Blaine asked looking around.
"Yes, I enjoy cooking."
"I bet you're a good cook." Blaine moved closer to Kurt and took his hands. "You have nice hands," and he folded his hand into Kurt's lacing their finger's together.
Kurt gave him the rest of the tour with their hands twined together. If someone told Kurt he would be holding hands with a boy in his house he would of laughed in their face, but this was real and he was having a hard time grasping the reality of it.
The last room of the tour was Kurt's bedroom. They walked in and Blaine looked around then went straight to the bed and jumped on it, laying face first. He inhaled the scent of Kurt and made an inaudible sound.
"That's my bed by the way."
"Your bed is so comfy. It looked comfy so I had to try it out, and it is comfy." Blaine said into a pillow.
Kurt laughed and went to sit on his bed next to Blaine's feet.
"Can I tell you something," Kurt asked softly.
Blaine pulled his head up, "Yeah, anything."
"Well, I've never had a boyfriend and I'm kinda new to this whole dating thing."
"Could have fooled me," Blaine sat up and took Kurt's hand. "I have actually never had a boyfriend either."
Kurt looked up at him, "Really, but you seem so confident."
Blaine laughed, "Thanks, but I actually have no idea what I'm doing either," he looked sincerely at Kurt, "but it feels right, whenever I'm with you."
"It does, doesn't it."
Blaine was looking at Kurt and taking in everything, the way his eyes were gleaming, the form of his jaw, the curve of his lips.
"I have I ever told you I think you are beautiful?" he asked looking into Kurt's eyes.
Kurt was looking back just as captivated, "No," he whispered.
"You are," he whispered back.
Blaine's heart was screaming at him to just close the distance and kiss Kurt Hummel on the lips, but his brain was telling him no, you have only been on two dates and known each other for a week, slow down, you aren't even boyfriends.
He was in a real dilemma and Kurt fanning his eyes lashes on his cheeks was not helping.
After what seemed like hours, he went with his brain not wanting to jeopardize anything and just leaned his head on Kurt's shoulder breathing him in. Kurt leaned his head down on Blaine's head and they sat there for a while.
"Thank you for coming over," Kurt smiled to himself.
"Thank you for inviting me over."
"You're welcome."
"So, what movie are we going to watch?" Blaine asked lifting his head up.
"Whatever you want," Kurt pointed over at a shelf with DVDs.
Blaine walked over to the shelf. It was mostly musicals and Disney movies, he had no complaints there.
"What is your favorite?"
"All of them, that's why I own them."
"Hmmm," he scanned the titles. What would be the perfect movie that would make Kurt snuggle with him? There was no scary movies so Kurt wouldn't be jumping in his arms and clinging to him any time soon.
He settled on a drama movie and Kurt put it on in the living room. They got situated on the couch with them sitting side by side and Kurt leaning his head on Blaine's shoulder.
About half way through the movie Kurt did a little jump in his seat.
"I completely forgot about the popcorn," he just remembered.
Throughout the movie Blaine ended up slouching down lower and laying on his back, Kurt followed and was laying half-way on his chest.
"Leave it," Blaine said, "you're too warm to leave, then we will have to get all comfy again, it will just turn into one big mess. Unless you really want it."
"Nah," Kurt said smiling and snuggling back into Blaine.
The movie rolled to credits and Blaine said something about the ending but got no response in return.
Blaine moved his head down to look at Kurt and he realized Kurt had fallen asleep. Kurt Hummel had fallen asleep on Blaine's chest, he was very happy at the moment. Kurt looked so peaceful when he is sleeping, so Blaine just stared.
A little while later Kurt stirred and started to rub his eyes, "Is it over?" his voice was sleepy.
"Yeah, any good dreams?"
He smiled, "Yes."
"Care to elaborate."
"Nope."
"Cause I was in your dreams wasn't I?" Blaine teased.
"I'm not saying anything."
" Because I was in your dreams," Blaine laughed, "at least tell me if it was a good dream."
"You may or may have not been in it, but it was a good dream."
Blaine punched the air in a victory, "Yes!"
"Okay," Kurt said ignoring Blaine and got up to take the DVD out while Blaine was still laughing about his victory.
Blaine stood up, "I better get home, got homework. I guess I will see you at your tomorrow."
Kurt turned around and nodded his head to the side in curiosity, "what's going on tomorrow?"
"Your choir director invited the Warbler's for a little meet and greet at your school. I guess to get familiar with the competition."
Kurt had a confused look on his face.
"Your teacher didn't tell you he invited another glee club over?" Blaine asked, also looking confused.
"I guess he forgot."
"Maybe he was keeping it a secret."
"Either way, I get to see you tomorrow at my school!" Kurt said excitedly.
"It is also Friday tomorrow, making it our official date night."
"Oh yeah I forgot tomorrow is Friday! Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." Blaine smiled and then changed the subject, "Hope your glee club is gonna bring it because we've got an amazing song rehearsed."
Kurt put his hands on his hip, "Oh, we always do."
Blaine laughed at Kurt's attitude and walked over to give him a big hug.
"Bye," he whispered in his ear.
They pulled away, "See you tomorrow," Kurt said and he walked Blaine out the door.
After Blaine left Kurt started playing the piano again till his dad got home. Just as he was about to start the song he got a text.
Blaine: I would just like to tell you I just saw an old lady with a mullet literally dragging to the floor. It looks like something from People of Walmart.
Kurt laughed and texted back.
Kurt: I'm glad you thought of me when you saw that, how sweet :) Don't text and drive :{
Blaine: Only the best for you babe, and i'm at a stop light :)
Kurt's heart did a little flutter when Blaine called him babe.
Blaine: Do you mind if I call you when I get home? I might need help with my homework
Kurt: Not at all, you can help me with my homework too.
