Blaine wasn't really sure why he was nervous. He was just meeting Kurt for a coffee. It wasn't like he was crushing on him or anything. Sure, Kurt was hot, but Blaine had a boyfriend and he'd never do anything to hurt Dean. He met Dean during his first week at Dalton. He'd just finished his audition for the Warblers and had decided to study in the library for a while. He was trying to reach a book on the top shelf when someone stretched their arm up over his head and grabbed the book for him. Blaine turned around, intending to thank the boy. but when he saw him he couldn't find the words. The boy was tall, at least four inches taller than Blaine himself, with sandy brown hair that he wore spiked up at the front a bit. His eyes were green and crinkled at the sides a little as he smiled widely at Blaine.

"This the book you wanted?" he drawled.

"Eh yeah, thank you."

Blaine was a bit unnerved. The boy was staring at him intensely. No one had ever looked him like that before. At least, no guy had ever looked at him like that.

"You're Blaine Anderson right? The new transfer kid?"

"Yeah that's right. And you are?" Blaine inquired.

"I'm Dean, Dean Finch. You're in my English class."

"Oh really? I'm sorry that I've never noticed you before."

"That's okay, you seem to keep your head down a lot. But I've certainly noticed you." He winked.

Blaine blushed and looked away from Dean's intense gaze. He was pretty sure that Dean was flirting with him, he had never had a guy hit on him before and he wasn't really sure what to do. Plenty of girls had come on to him in the past but he'd just politely tell them that he wasn't interested. Flirting back was not something he was used to. He took a step backwards and his back hit the self behind him. As he did this he looked up through his lashes at Dean and simply asked.

"Really?"

Dean stepped forward and flashed Blaine a dazzling smile and said.

"Of course I have, someone as gorgeous as you deserves to be noticed by everyone."

Blaine went an even deeper shade of red. He stuttered out a 'thank you' and started staring intently at his new pair of black loafers. Dean brushed his fingers down Blaine's arm.

"I know I'm being kind of forward here, but I wanted ask before another guy got there first. Would you go out with me?"

Blaine's head snapped up, searching Dean's face for some sign that he was joking. Failing to find any he asked.

"You mean, like, on a date?"

"Yeah like on a date. I was thinking that we could go see a movie tonight?" Blaine blushed yet again.

"Um.... sure I'd like that." Dean's smile widened.

"Great! I'll meet you in the senior commons at seven?"

Blaine nodded and smiled nervously back at him.

“Hey, give me your phone for a minute."

Blaine reached into his pocket and pulled out his iPhone. Dean took it from him and dialed a number. Dean's own phone rang, he answered and quickly hung up. He handed Blaine's phone back to him.

"There now I have your number and you have mine. I'll see you tonight. Can't wait." He winked again and walked away. Blaine stared after him for a minute before running to find his room mate Nick to find out all he could about Dean in preparation for their date that evening.

Whenever Blaine thought back to that first encounter he cringed inwardly. He felt that he had been a self-conscious, bumbling idiot but it had turned out alright.

Despite their awkward introduction the date itself had gone well. The movie had been funny and the conversation had flown easily, they'd sat for almost an hour in Blaine's car just talking. Being the gentleman that he was, Blaine walked Dean to his dorm room. They'd said goodnight Dean had leaned in and pressed his lips to Blaine's gently. It'd only lasted a few seconds before Dean pulled away to look at Blaine and gauge his reaction. 

At first Blaine had been a little stunned but he soon relaxed to the idea of kissing Dean. He grabbed Dean's shirt and crushed their lips together in a heated kiss. Blaine reviled in movement of Dean's sure lips on his. He suddenly felt Dean's tongue sweep across his bottom lip as if asking for entry, Blaine eagerly obliged. The feeling of Dean's tongue massaging his own was a completely sensation. Blaine had been disappointed when the kiss finally ended, They'd breathlessly said goodnight again and Dean slipped into his room. Blaine had practically run back to his own room in his haste to tell Nick all about his date. Blaine always smiled when he thought back to that first kiss. Regardless of the fact that there had been many more after that one, Blaine still felt that it was special.

He was still thinking about it when he saw Kurt walk through the door. His stomach flipped as he looked at the tall, slender, beautiful boy standing in the doorway. Blaine smiled as Kurt made his way through the café to his table. He handed Kurt the styrofoam coffee cup he had just purchased.

"Here, I got you your coffee."

Kurt sipped the drink and Blaine couldn't help but stare at the movement of Kurt's Adam's apple as he swallowed his mouthful of coffee. Kurt raised his delicate eyebrows in surprise.

"You know my coffee order?" he asked. Blaine smiled at Kurt's questioning look.

"Of course I do, you mentioned it yesterday."

Blaine always listened to people when they talked to him, but with Kurt he seemed to remember every little off-handed comment the singer made. Blaine took another mouthful of his medium drip before he started talking.

"So did you learn the song last night?"

Kurt nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah, I also looked up some of their other stuff, They're good."

"Yeah they're one of my favorite bands. And 'All About You' is, in my opinion, one of their best songs."

"It's going to kill in Glee club today" Kurt stated confidently.

"Is Breadstix really that great?"

"It's good, but,” Kurt grinned devilishly, “the glory of wining is better."

Blaine chuckled softly

"You've got quite the competitive streak haven't you?"

"Like you wouldn't believe," Kurt smirked at him.

"Well then we better get to school so we can rehearse in the choir room before class."

Blaine stood up and grabbed Kurt's hand, practically dragging Kurt outside into the parking lot. He grinned slyly at Kurt. “I bet I can beat you to school."

Kurt smiled back.

"Oh, it's on!"

They both ran to their respective cars.
