Kurt stood in front of the bathroom mirror deciding if he should change or not. This was his third outfit and he still wasn't completely satisfied with the out come. He was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a stripped long sleeved shirt with a grey cardigan over and a pair of red converse. Just as he was about to go change the doorbell rang. He sighed and looked himself over one more time before going and answering the door.
He was finally going on a date with Blaine. He was both excited and nervous. The last time he went on a date with a parent it didn't end so well.
As Kurt made his way to the door, his dog Baxter was already there and waiting. Waging his tail with excitement. Kurt laughed a little at the puppy before him. He was so small and yet so full of energy he didn't know how it fit in one tiny body. He finally reached the door, picked up Baxter and opened it.
Blaine stood before him looking absolutely incredible. He was wearing khaki pants and a dark blue shirt matched with a pair of white sneakers. His hair wasn't in it's usual gel, and his curls made him even more attractive. He smiled up at Kurt before reaching and petting the puppy in his arms.
"Aww who is this little guy?" Kurt couldn't help but laugh at the baby voice Blaine used when addressing the pup.
"This is Baxter." He smiled as Baxter practically flew out of his arms and into Blaine's.
"Well he is adorable. And you aren't half bad either." He said with a wink that made Kurt blush. "We better get going if we want to make the reservation." Kurt nodded and put the puppy in his kennel before closing and locking the door.
"So where to?" Blaine just smiled. "What you aren't telling me?" Blaine nodded and Kurt rolled his eyes. The ride to the restaurant was silent but not in the bad way. It was nice, almost peaceful.
When they pulled up to Isabella's Restaurant Kurt had to hold back a squeal. He loved Isabelle's; it was just to expensive to come to.
"I'm guessing you know the place then?" Blaine asked from the driver's seat. Kurt nodded.
"I love it. But we can't eat here its way to expensive!" Blaine just laughed and got out of the car. Kurt followed. "Seriously Blaine I'm a teacher, that should explain itself."
"I know that's why I'm paying." Kurt opened his mouth to argue back but Blaine kept speaking. "No, I asked you on this date so I will pay." With that he turned to the host. "Anderson." The host smiled and then took them back to a booth. The atmosphere was soothing and it wasn't that packed tonight.
"Blaine!" Kurt looked over his shoulder to see a women running towards him. She looked like she should be working in the kitchen. Not in the dining room. Blaine stood up and gave her a hug.
"Hey, Abigail this is Kurt." Kurt put his hand out for her to shake but she ended up pulling him into a hug instead. "Abigail is one of the top chef's in the kitchen. She makes an amazing cheesecake!" She lightly shoved him and turned back to Kurt.
"It's okay, but definitely not amazing. Look I have to get back, so Kurt it was great meeting you and Blaine say hello to Samantha for me." Then she turned on her heal and headed towards the kitchen. Kurt gave Blaine a questioning look as they sat back down.
"Believe it or not, she used to baby sit for me." Kurt smiled then looked down at the menu. After the waiter took the drink orders Blaine turned to Kurt.
"See anything you like?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows. Kurt laughed but shook his head.
"Definitely." He said with a wink. Blaine blushed a little and Kurt decided he would be okay with seeing that again. "I'm gonna go with the chopped salad."
"That's a great choice." Blaine said in return.
"What about you?"
"Hay and Straw Linguine. It's my favorite I always get it when I come."
"Oh so you bring all your dates here then?"
"If you consider my nine, almost ten year old daughter a date then yes."
Finally the waiter came and took their orders and then left the two to sit in silence. Blaine was first to break it.
"So Kurt tell me about yourself."
"Well what do you want to know?"
Blaine shrugged his shoulders. "Everything." Simple yet difficult Kurt thought.
"Uhm well where should I start?"
"How about, where did you spend most of your teen life?"
"Oh! I grew up in Lima Ohio with my dad. I went to McKinley and was a part of the Cheerios. They were the cheerleaders. My dad got remarried my junior year and then when I graduated I moved out here and have been here ever since."
"That's insane!" Kurt gave him a confused look as if to elaborate what was so insane. "I grew up in Westerville Ohio! We were only a few cities apart! Oh wow that's awesome. Anyway, a cheerleader huh?"
"Well it was really the only thing that kept me from not getting bullied."
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know."
Kurt waved his hands to dismiss the topic. "Really it's okay. I got to join glee club after awhile and made some really amazing friends."
"I was in glee club over at Dalton. We went to Nationals almost every year but never won." He said in a disappointed voice. "I always loved glee though."
Kurt nodded in reply. "So Blaine."
"So Kurt."
"Tell me how you ended up here."
"Which here? The one where I'm in New York or the one where I'm in New York with a daughter?" Kurt put a finger to his chin before answering.
"Surprise me."
"Okay. Well I grew up in Westerville like I said. I have an older brother, who lives in the city as well. I came out when I was thirteen and my parents didn't hate me! They supported whatever I wanted to be. It felt amazing ya know?" Kurt smiled at him.
"After I went back to my old school, I got bullied pretty badly, so my dad moved me schools. Dalton was amazing and I made some of the best friends I've had there. When I graduated I knew I wanted to move. So I went to Chicago for a year. But it didn't fit me, so I moved to New York. All my college credits transferred so I was all set." Kurt looked as if he was going to say something but Blaine didn't notice he just kept telling his story.
"One night during a party my friend and I got a little drunk. When "the hottest girl ever" according to my friend came up to talk to me I sorta played along. We went to another room and talked until she kissed me. And being drunk I was stupid and kissed her back. And then that led us to actually having sex. When I found out she was pregnant I was scared shitless. I didn't know the first thing about being a dad. Or how to even change a diaper. But I promised her I would be there for the baby. And I was. I went to all the doctor appointments and all the birthing classes. And soon enough I was really excited to be a dad. When Heather went into labor I couldn't contain myself. Finally I was getting to see my little girl!
"Samantha was born November 2nd at 3:45am. It was the happiest day of my life. The first time I held her in my arms I cried. She was so tiny and precious and gorgeous. She had my hair and eyes. The moment I looked at her I was in love. I left the hospital the next day to go get a few more supplies when I got the call. It was from the hospital pretty much saying I was a single father now. I was in a daze for awhile. But I had to get my life on track for her.
"So I finished school and graduated top of my class. All with a new baby. My parents helped the most. They paid for my first apartment and sent me monthly checks to help support Samantha and myself. I don't know where I would be without." When he finished he had tears shining in his eyes. He looked up at Kurt who was actually crying.
"That's amazing Blaine. Samantha is one lucky lady." He said with a smile.
Soon the food was brought and they ate in silence. Each of them making a comment here or there. When dinner was down and dessert was ordered they sat staring at each other.
"What are you staring at?" Kurt asked his eyes never leaving Blaine's.
"Your eyes." Kurt blushed and Blaine laughed.
Soon desert was done and the check was paid and the two men where walking together taking in the fall air.
Blaine cleared his throat and turned to Kurt. "Can I ask you something?"
"Absolutely."
"What changed your mind? To letting me take you to dinner. What changed?"
"I realized that you actually wanted to go out with me and not just to try and get your daughter a good grade in my class. And before you say anything, yes it has happened." Kurt said honestly.
Blaine took Kurt's hand and then continued walking down the street towards the car. Kurt was thankful his hands weren't sweaty. He jumped a little when Blaine started rubbing his knuckles with his thumb but soon relaxed into the touch. It was warm. And set his skin on fire.
Blaine walked Kurt up to his apartment and they stood there awkwardly for awhile. "I had a fantastic time with you Kurt and would love to do it again." You could hear the smile he was sporting.
"I have to agree with you Blaine. This night was rather enjoyable." He turned and unlocked his door, then leaned on the door frame. "Thank you again. Call me."
Blaine smiled at that and watched as Kurt went to turn inside. Now or never he thought. He grabbed Kurt's arm and pulled him into a kiss. It was warm and tasted like chocolate cheesecake. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck then deepened the kiss. Blaine was surprised when he felt Kurt's tongue graze his bottom lip but he opened his mouth and let Kurt's tongue in. They were soon battling for dominance. Blaine couldn't think of anything else. The feeling of Kurt's lips on his was amazing. Nothing had ever felt that good.
Kurt was first to pull back, needing a breath. They both stood there for a minute just staring at each other and trying to gain the lost oxygen. Right as Blaine went in for another kiss, Kurt place his finger on he shorter boy's lips.
"Bye Blaine." And with that he turned around and shut his door.
