Chapter 2: Awkward Phone Call

Kurt’s phone rings just as he fixes the clasp on his robe. He smiles when he sees Blaine’s name appear on the screen.

“Hi,” he says softly, his mind still reeling at the fact that he somehow wound up with a date to the last Harry Potter film.

“Hey there, gorgeous,” Blaine says, and Kurt can hear the smile in his voice. “What are you wearing?”

“Um...don’t you think that’s kind of a personal question to ask someone you just met?”

“Oh my gosh, Kurt, that did not come out right! I meant it in the ‘are you dressing up for the movie’ kind of way, not in the ‘tell me what you’re wearing so we can have phone sex’ kind of way.”

“Blaine.”

“Not that I wouldn’t have phone sex with you! I would!”

“Blaine!”

“I mean...wait...no! This isn’t coming out right at all!”

“Blaine! It’s okay, I understood what you meant!”

Blaine laughs nervously, and says, “I usually only babble like this when I’m nervous.”

“Do I make you nervous?” Kurt asks softly.

“A little, yeah,” Blaine admits sheepishly. “But you make me feel excited, too. I’m really excited for tonight. I haven’t been on a date in a while...”

“Me either,” Kurt says, straightening his tie in the mirror. “So don’t be nervous. Let’s just have fun.”

“Deal,” Blaine says. So, what are you wearing tonight?”

“That, good sir, is a surprise. But I assure you, it is fabulous.”

“Are you dressing up?” Blaine asks, worried that his outfit might be too much if Kurt comes dressed normally.

“You’ll see. I think you’ll be pleased.”

“You really aren’t going to tell me?”

“Will you tell me what house you’re in?”

“Not a chance,” Blaine says.

“Then no, I’m really not going to tell you.”

“Hmm, guess you really are a Slytherin. I’m leaving now. I’ll be at your house in about twenty minutes.”
