The Lima Bean seemed like a quiet place for a chat. There were some other Dalton boys, which gave Kurt the impression that this was continuously their meeting place.

'Hey, Blaine! Usual medium-drip?' asked the barista behind the counter. She winked at him. Some estrange feeling was building up inside Kurt. Was he jealous? 'No way' he replied to himself.

'Oh hi, Michelle! Yes and a non-fat mocha for my friend here and maybe I can convince him to share those good-looking biscotti'

'You know my coffee order?' Kurt asked, still surprised by how amazing Blaine was.

'I overheard you one day at the coffee shop at Dalton… I sound like a stalker right?' both boys laughed as the barista asked for Kurt's name.

While they waited for their coffee, they finished eating the biscotti. 'Wow, this is… delicious! Best. Biscotti. Ever.' Kurt said, biting little by little the remaining of the cookie.

'I knew you'd like them' Blaine said smiling when their eyes met.

'Kurt and Blaine!' the barista called. Kurt smiled as he heard both of their names together. 'They sound pretty good together. Kurt and Blaine'. He was pulled out of his daydreaming as Blaine grabbed both cups and signaled him to start walking. Kurt stopped in front of a chair in the middle of the Lima Bean.

'I'd rather sit in a more private place. Do you want to go there?' Blaine pointed at a table far apart of the hustle of the coffee shop.

Kurt took both coffees and went to sit. Blaine sat next to Kurt, their thighs slightly touching. Kurt felt shivers as their eyes met. They stayed in silence for a short time until Kurt coughed.

'That was so subtle!' Blaine said with a smile.' Well, I think I owe you an apology. I should've talked to you the minute I recognized you. I gave you a hard time when the only thing you needed was a friend' Blaine said bluntly.

'It's okay, Blaine. No harm done!' Kurt's smile never reached his eyes. Instead, those blue eyes turned glassy as he lost in the eyes of the boy in front of him. He was everything Kurt wanted… but couldn't have. Blaine would never be attracted to a guy like him.

'I would like to have a fresh start with you Kurt, leave all of this behind and get to know each other… deeply' Kurt blushed. He couldn't hide the way these words and Blaine's eyes as he said them, made him feel. He took a sip from his coffee.

'I fully agree. I'm Kurt Hummel and I think this is the best coffee I've ever had. This place is heaven on earth!'

'I'm Blaine Anderson-Berry and I think this is going to be our official coffee shop'. Kurt's heart started beating faster as Blaine forwarded his hand to shake Kurt's. 'I could never get tired of holding his hand' Kurt thought as Blaine let go.

'So, Mr. Anderson-Berry, tell me something about you'

'Call me Blaine' he said in a dapper way. 'I absolutely adore Disney movies, Disney songs… well everything Disney-related. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan; I play guitar, piano, ukulele, mandolin and harmonica; I'm the lead singer of the Dalton Academy Warblers and the founder of the Dalton Fighting Club' he smiled widely at Kurt, whose knees weakened.

----------------------------------------------------------

'Interesting… but I'm sorry Blaine, I think I am the hugest Harry Potter fan in the entire world. Can I tell you a secret? Well, the night before my transfer to Dalton, I spent hours watching Disney movies, crying like a dork. Let me say that I don't regret a thing!' he laughed. Blaine thought that was the most amazing sound he had ever heard. He liked everything about Kurt. 'I play the piano and I'm keen on designing clothes. My true passion is performing so when we graduate I want to apply for the New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts. I've got it all planned in my head'

'What about your family?' Blaine regretted asking this, as he had already heard Kurt in Biology class. Kurt took a deep breath and looked straight to Blaine.

'My mom died when I was eight, so my father brought me up by himself. Several months ago, I introduced him to Carole, Finn's mom, and they got along like a house on fire. I saw my father become a different person, a happier version of him. They married a couple of days ago; a beautiful wedding, of course, because I made it happen' Kurt explained with a grin. 'Carole will never replace my mother, but she's one of the greatest additions to my life. She's been so understanding with the whole bullying thing and she just… makes things look better than what they look like… I'm boring you, right?'

'Why would you say that? I'm listening attentively. It's just that… I'm trying to understand how you cope with all this. Don't you want to scream and kick everything and everyone?'. Kurt was one of the strongest people he had met. He paid attention to him, as he, unconsciously, shifted his body closer to Kurt's. He could smell his perfume; he suddenly felt dizzy.

'I've learnt to build a wall around my feelings and my heart. Apparently it was not strong enough as you just tear it down. It's easy to trust you, Blaine'

The sound of his name on Kurt's lips sent shivers down his spine. He would do anything to listen to it again.

'I think it's your turn to talk about your family… if you want to, you are not obliged- I mean I would love to listen to your background story- I don't want to press you- Blaine, you should stop me when I ramble!' he took a sip of his coffee, leaving a small drop of coffee in his chin.

'Ehm… you've… ehm… got something… t-t-there' Blaine stuttered. He reached Kurt's chin with his hand, softly removing the remaining coffee. Kurt gasped at the sudden touch. He sucked his thumb and rested his hand on the table. Blaine's eyes were set in Kurt's lips. The other boy noticed this as he blinked faster.

'Thank you' he muttered, also staring at Blaine's lips.

The curly haired boy moved his head forward looking straight into Kurt's eyes. 'This is the moment I've been waiting for' he thought.

'Are you sure about this, Blaine?' Kurt asked against Blaine's lips. They were an inch away.

'I've never been surer about anything in my entire life' he said, slightly brushing those pink lips.

'This is a wall we are crossing, Blaine. This is a point of no return'

'Who says I want to return?' he finished, catching Kurt's lips into a passionate kiss that he knew conveyed everything he didn't know how to say aloud.

----------------------------------------------------------
Kurt was in the air. He's whole body felt numb as Blaine sucked onto his bottom lip. He moaned softly. His hands were surrounding Blaine's neck, whereas Blaine's hands were at his sides. He felt Blaine's tongue trying to explore his mouth. He parted his lips as he tasted Blaine. It was a mix of coffee and hazelnut. He had dreamt about this moment since he first met the boy. 'This is far better than dreaming'

----------------------------------------------------------
Blaine ended the kiss, as he needed to breathe. 'That… ehm… that was… interesting' he said, still holding Kurt by the hips.

'Am I a bad kisser? I mean I don't have much practice. I've only been kissed once, at least that counted'.

'You've been kissed? I mean… you never kissed anyone?' Blaine was surprised. 'Every guy in the world should want someone as Kurt by their side' he thought as he praised himself for being brave enough to start the kiss.

'That's the reason I transferred to Dalton. This bully called Karofsky, hunted me everyday. He shoved me into lockers, he slushied me every time he had a chance. A few days ago, before the wedding, I confronted him in the boys' locker room. He raised his fist and I told him that he couldn't punch the gay out of me. So… he… um… grabbed my face and planted a kiss. I didn't know what to do, he kept kissing me and I couldn't get away. For the record, I didn't kiss him back, he is disgusting. I pushed him away from me. He took a step forward and shoved me against one of the lockers. I fell to the ground and watched him run away. The next day, he cornered me in one of the hallways and threatened to kill me if I told anyone about what happened' Kurt breathed, attaching his hand to Blaine's. 'I talked to the principal and they expelled him. I was so happy and relieved! But, as always, things didn't stay that way. Three days ago, Karofsky returned to the school and shoved me into a locker. That's when my family and I decided to transfer here.' He let a small tear fall from his blue eyes. Blaine hugged Kurt, who was sobbing into his shoulder.

'I'm here for you, Kurt' he said as he pulled Kurt for another sweet kiss.

Blaine was officially head over heels for Kurt.
