A Love That Lasts

Chapter 5

Blaine was in much better spirits the following day after his call to Cooper. Classes at Dalton went well and the day surprisingly went fast. Before he knew it he was sitting in the Warbler's practice room waiting for rehearsal to start. Unfortunately that was when Sebastian finally found him.

"Hey buddy," Sebastian said cheerfully. "How have you been?"

"Fine," Blaine replied, before turning his attention back to the sheet music he was trying to memorize.

"Aren't you going to ask me how I am?" Sebastian asked.

"I figured that you would tell me anyways," Blaine said.

"I'm hurt that you would think so low of me," Sebastian said in annoyance. "But I'm doing great, wonderful in fact. Do you want to know why?"

Blaine looked up at him and rolled his eyes. "Why?"

"Because tonight I have a date with Kurt Hummel," Sebastian boasted.

Blaine took a deep breath and remembered what Cooper had told him the night before. He refused to let Sebastian get a rise out of him this time.

"Good for you," he said, looking back down at his music.

"But that is now the best part," Sebastian said gleefully. "The date is at the White House! I'm going to meet the president!"

"I'm happy for you and all Sebastian, but I still don't see why you think I would care," Blaine replied.

"You can't fool me," Sebastian started. "I know you've had a little crush on Kurt Hummel for years."

"Whether I do or not is not a good enough excuse for you to rub my nose in it," Blaine snapped, giving Sebastian a cold stare.

"Someone is touchy," Sebastian said smirking. "Don't worry I will get Kurt's autograph for you."

With that Sebastian walked away obviously knowing that he'd done his damage. Blaine stared after him trying to keep his emotions under control. If Kurt was really Blaine's soul mate then it would happen someday, he told himself. Sebastian is an idiot and to be honest Blaine felt sorry for Kurt for having to put up with him that night. Blaine wasn't going to let Sebastian's words bother him, he was going to take things from day to day and hope for the best.

Besides if Kurt Hummel was Blaine's Kurt then he would see right through Sebastian, right?

Kurt paced nervously in the lobby waiting for his date to arrive. Being the president's son Kurt had never been on a date in his life because it was usually too complicated and besides where could he meet attractive gay men? He was still overwhelmed to think that he met his soul mate, that Blaine was now his reality. Blaine was handsome and Kurt's age, but there wasn't any instant attraction. He didn't feel in that instant that he was meant to spend the rest of his life with Blaine. But he'd never met his soul mate before, so what did he really know?

The other thing that really bothered Kurt was that he still couldn't get those gorgeous hazel eyes out of his mind. They were like a phantom in the night, haunting not just his dreams, but his waking hours as well. Kurt wondered all the time what the person why owned those eyes looked like and some part of him told him it had to be another man. The glimpse Kurt had of those remarkable eyes had bewitched him, and it seemed crazy that he couldn't stop thinking about them.

"Your date is here," one of the secret service agents said to Kurt, as he held his hand to his earpiece where he'd obviously heard the news from.

Kurt nervously looked down at his appearance, seeing that his outfit remained unwrinkled and perfect. He pulled out his handheld mirror and verified that his hair still remained in the style he'd worked it into. He looked perfect for a first date, and all that remained was to wait for his date to arrive.

Blaine arrived a minute later ushered in by two of the secret service agents. He was dressed well in a fashionable suit that fit him extremely well. His eyes met Kurt and he grinned widely as he walked over to him.

"You look great," Blaine breathed.

Kurt smiled, "So do you."

"I almost thought they weren't going to let me in," Blaine replied.

"Well they do have to be cautious," Kurt replied. "This is the White House after all."

"Of course," Blaine replied. "You must love living here."

"It has its moments," Kurt admitted. "But there are times it doesn't feel like home."

Blaine drew in close and grabbed Kurt's hand, his face so close that Kurt could see the slight stubble on Blaine's cheek.

"I'm so lucky to have found you as my soul mate," Blaine murmured.

"Me too," Kurt said, anxiously. He realized for the first time just how close Blaine's lips were to his. Was he about to get his first kiss?

Suddenly the sound of talking filled the lobby and Kurt pulled away seeing that two of the secretaries were talking softly to each other as they left for the day.

"So would you like a tour before dinner?" Kurt said, trying to regain his composure.

"Of course," Blaine said, grinning slightly.

"Well first of all we are in the West Wing which was built during Teddy Roosevelt's administration," Kurt said as he led Blaine down the hall.

"Over here is the Roosevelt Room, the Cabinet Room, and the Oval Office," Kurt explained, pointing towards each room with his free hand. Blaine held firmly onto Kurt's other hand and was rubbing his palm with his thumb; something that Kurt found was very distracting.

Blaine's eyes widened. "Can we go in the Oval Office?"

"Sorry but my Dad is having a meeting in there now, but maybe later," Kurt replied smiling faintly.

"You are so sexy," Blaine murmured, drawing closer to Kurt again. "Where is your room?"

Did he really just ask that? Kurt wondered, but he ignored Blaine's implication. "It is upstairs on the second floor."

Blaine waggled his eyebrows at him. "What do you say we check it out?"

Kurt gasped, and pulled away. "But I hardly know you!"

"We are soul mates," Blaine replied. "We have all the time in the world to get to know each other."

"Kurt, there you are!"

It was his assistant, Lily. She walked over to him quickly and while she glanced at Blaine curiously, she directed her attention to Kurt. "It is time for dinner, your father is waiting in the dining room."

"It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. President," Sebastian said, shaking the President's hand as they sat down to dinner.

"Call me Burt," the President replied.

"Of course Burt," Sebastian said, sitting down. Oh yes he was on first name basis with the freaking President of the United States.

This date almost couldn't get any better, Sebastian thought as he sat down to the five course meal in the White House dining room. It had only been a short time, but he felt that Kurt was already putty in his hands. The president's son was so incredibly naïve that it was almost humorous and Sebastian knew it would only be a matter of time before he got exactly what he wanted.

"So tell me about yourself Blaine?" Burt asked.

"Well I'm a senior at Dalton Academy and I'm the lead singer of the Warblers," Sebastian replied. Maybe it wasn't completely truthful, but he really didn't care at this point.

"I told Kurt he could go to Dalton if he wanted," Burt replied.

"Really?" Sebastian asked, turning to Kurt with a wide grin. "You would love it there, and we could spend so much more time together."

"I'm happy being home schooled," Kurt replied honestly. "And besides I don't want to let my glee club down."

"You sing?" Sebastian asked curiously. "You must be amazing."

"I'm alright," Kurt admitted.

"He's being modest," Burt grumbled. "Kurt is a county whatsits!"

Kurt laughed. "I'm a countertenor Dad."

"Right," Burt replied. "That."

"Really, but those are so rare," Sebastian replied. "Just another amazing thing about you."

Sebastian didn't like how Burt seemed to watch him closely through the rest of the mean, making small talk the entire time. As good as the date was, Sebastian definitely didn't want to spend more time in the President's company then he had to.

As soon as dinner and dessert was over with, Kurt walked him to the door.

"I had a really nice time tonight," Kurt said.

"Me too," Sebastian said grinning. "We need to do this again soon."

"I would like that," Kurt agreed.

Now is the time, Sebastian told himself. He moved in for the kiss. Kurt looked at him like a scared bunny rabbit who was about to flee, but he didn't move. He was so close to his prize, Sebastian could see Kurt's pink lips so well that he noticed every detail. Then when Sebastian finally made contact with Kurt's skin he realized in annoyance that it was Kurt's cheek and not his lips.

"Good night Blaine," Kurt said opening the door for him.

In a few seconds Sebastian was out the door and it closed behind him. So it seemed that Kurt was going to be a harder challenge then he thought. A challenge he was completely up for. And next time he wouldn't just be kissing Kurt's cheek, he could almost guarantee that.
