After holding each other in silence for a while in Blaine's room, the boys spent the rest of their Saturday lounging around the apartment. They talked a little about their pasts, mostly glee club stories, without bringing up any serious topics. Every once in a while they would exchange small touches and kisses. Blaine had never felt so alive. They fell asleep the same way they had the night before, in each other's arms.
They decided to have their date on Sunday because they started classes on Monday and they weren't sure how busy they'd be. Blaine decided that he was going to use the plan he had to 'woo Kurt' as their date. He woke up extra early to get everything ready. He was making this a surprise for Kurt. Around 11:30 the boys headed out of the building, picnic basket in Blaine's arm and guitar on his back.
"We're going on a musical picnic?" Kurt asked eyeing Blaine.
"No?" Blaine winked at him. He hailed a cab and whispered their destination to the driver making sure Kurt couldn't hear. He slid in next to him in the back.
"Are you going to tell where we are having this musical picnic?"
"Absolutely not."
Fifteen minutes later the cab stopped. Blaine hopped out first and held his hand out for Kurt. Kurt accepted and got out after Blaine. Blaine watched as Kurt's face lit up with excitement when he saw where they were.
"You brought me on a musical picnic in Central Park?" Kurt turned to Blaine with a surprised look.
"I did. Is that okay?"
"It's perfect."
Blaine grinned. They walked hand in hand around the park until they found a spot that was satisfactory. Blaine laid down the blanket and both boys settled on it. "Shall we eat?" Kurt nodded. Blaine opened the picnic basket and pulled out two water bottles, a bowl of fruit salad, and two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
"Heart shaped sandwiches? You went all out." Kurt laughed as he picked it up.
"Is it too much?" Blaine asked, slightly nervous.
"Not at all. I find it quite adorable. I'm flattered you'd do all this for me."
I'd do anything for you. "Good, because we still have dessert later." Blaine said seductively and winked again. Kurt's face flushed and Blaine realized how that must of sounded. "Oh god, no! I didn't mean it like that I swear! I mean, not that I don't want to. Maybe someday when, if, our relationship develops and oh god please shut me up."
Kurt, who had been silently laughing, leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on Blaine's lips. "Did that work?"
"Like a charm." Blaine sighed. He turned to Kurt and pouted. "But I was going to give you the perfect first date kiss later."
"No one said you couldn't." Kurt whispered into Blaine's ear. Blaine shivered.
He cleared his throat and took a bite of his sandwich. "Tell me about your family."
Kurt seemed a little shocked at the question. "Okay, well let's see. While growing up it was just me and my dad. My mom died when I was really young." Blaine's heart pained a little for Kurt. He grabbed Kurt's hand and laced their fingers together. "It was obviously really hard on my dad, raising me on his own, but he was wonderful. He would always play dress-up or tea party with me without complaining. When I got to high school, we became more distant. He didn't really understand me. I came out to him when I was fourteen. He told me that he had known since I was three, when I asked for a pair of sensible heels." Both Kurt and Blaine laughed at this. "After that we became closer than ever. But there was still something missing. When he met Carole, my stepmom, I had never seen him so happy. She is so good to him. And me. She treats me like one of her own, and I couldn't be more grateful for her. Finn, my stepbrother, and I had our issues at first. And my little crush on him didn't help. We're close now, though and I know he's always there for me."
"They all sound wonderful. You're really lucky, Kurt." Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand.
"I know." Kurt squeezed back.
Blaine decided it was time to lighten the mood a bit. "So you never told me why you're breakfast with Colin was awful yesterday morning." Blaine knew exactly why it was awful, he just wanted to hear Kurt say it. He smirked when he saw Kurt make a face that said 'you want to play this game?'
"I just told you it was awful to get you talking. It was actually really magical. I think we're going to get married." Kurt put on fake 'dreamy eyes.'
"That is not even a little funny." Blaine pouted again.
Kurt laughed and put his arms around BlaineÕs shoulders. "Enough about Colin. Are you going to play me a song or what?"
Blaine's grin came back and he reached behind him and grabbed his guitar. "I worked really hard on this." He cleared his throat and started singing. "Before you came into my life I missed you so bad, I missed you so bad, I missed you so, so bad."
Kurt burst out laughing. "Call Me Maybe? Really?"
Blaine laughed a little. "Sorry I couldn't resist. Okay, now for the real song."
Kurt watched Blaine take a deep breath. "This song really expresses how I'm feeling." Blaine said. Kurt could tell he was nervous. Blaine looked up at Kurt, gave a small smile and began playing.
"All I want to do is write a song
One I haven't ever sung before
I don't want to sing the same old thing
It wouldn't mean anything to me.
All I want to do is write a song
But everything I say just comes out wrong
I guess I'll just throw my thoughts away
Maybe pick them up another day.
I just lost control
I just wanted you to know
When I'm on my own
I feel invisible.
And I just lost control
I just needed you to know,
When in front of you
I feel invincible.
I want to write a song that makes you smile
One that keeps you around for a while
I wish for small things like losing this feeling
I've seen this coming, I've seen you leaving.
I just lost control
I just wanted you to know
When I'm on my own
I feel invisible.
And I just lost control
I just needed you to know
When in front of you
I feel invincible.
I know I've said and done some things
That've made you feel a little empty
I've got a whole lot to learn
Every bridge I see I seem to burn.
So, all I've got to do is sing a song
Tell a little truth to everyone
Sick of saying sorry when I'm not
But after a little love that's
That's all I've
That's all I've got.
I just lost control
I just wanted you to know
When I'm on my own
I feel invisible.
And I just lost control
I just needed you to know
When in front of you
I feel invincible, invincible."
Kurt's eyes were filled with tears. Blaine sang with so much passion and emotion, Kurt wanted to hold him and never let go. "That was incredible, Blaine."
"I meant every word." Blaine's eyes were also brimming with tears. Kurt pulled Blaine into a hug. "I really want to kiss you right now." Blaine whispered.
"Okay." Kurt breathed out, barely audible. Blaine pulled back slightly and crashed his lips with Kurt's in a passionate kiss. Kurt felt Blaine's tears on his cheek. Kurt pulled away and wiped them away with his thumb.
Kurt and Blaine stared at each other, Blaine's hazel eyes burning into his. "You're so beautiful." Blaine said after what felt like hours. "Kurt?"
"Hmm?"
"I know we haven't known each other very long, but the way you make me feel, I feel like I've been looking for you forever. You've made me feel more alive than I have ever felt before." Kurt's heart started racing and his stomach felt like a million butterflies were fluttering around. "So, Kurt, would you do me the honor of becoming my boyfriend?"
Kurt's smile became so wide that his cheeks hurt. "Yes, absolutely." He laughed and pulled Blaine into another kiss.
Blaine had never been so happy. He felt like his life was finally coming together. He was living in New York, pursuing his dream, and had a beautiful boyfriend. Boyfriend. Kurt's my boyfriend. He still got giddy when he thought of Kurt.
His first day of classes went really well. Of course all they did was go over the syllabus, but every class seemed enjoyable.
He walked back to the apartment once he was done for the day. He opened the door and saw Kurt sprawled out on the couch reading the latest Vogue. "Hey babe." Blaine walked to the couch and leaned down to give Kurt a kiss.
"Mm hi. How was your first day?"
"It was really good, actually. How was yours?"
"It was okay, I guess." Blaine could see that Kurt was distressed about something.
He dropped his bag, tapped Kurt on the shoulder to tell him to lift his head up, and sat down. He laid Kurt's head on his lap. "What's wrong?" Blaine started running his hands through Kurt's perfect hair.
"It's nothing. I'm just being dumb. Don't worry about it."
"Kurt, look at me." Kurt turned his head so his eyes met Blaine's. "Nothing you do dumb. Now, tell Blainey bear what's wrong."
"Blainey bear?" Blaine gave Kurt a sten look that said 'tell me.' "Fine. I'm just not sure anymore."
"Not sure about what?" Blaine got nervous. Please don't be about us.
Kurt obviously saw Blaine's anxiety. "Don't worry. Not about you and me. That I am one hundred percent sure about." He lifted his head and gave Blaine a kiss. Blaine got giddy again. "I'm not sure about this journalism thing. Yeah I would like to do it, but none of the classes felt intersting to me. i know it was only my first day, and things will most likely get better, but I just... I don't think it's really where my heart's at."
"Well, where is your heart at?"
"Theatre. Musical theatre. All I could think about today was how much fun it would be to be learning about acting techniques and improving my voice, not that it needs it. But honestly, how realistic is that? There is no way I'd be good enough out here."
It pained Blaine to hear how Kurt felt so little about himself. "Kurt stop. You can do anything you put your mind to. And you are more than good enough. You are absolutely incredible and I have no doubt that you can make it. I know it."
"Thank you, baby." Baby. "But I can't change my major now."
"You may not be able to change classes, but that doesn't mean you can't next semester. Don't hold yourself back, Kurt. This is your life. Make your dreams come true."
"How are you so perfect?"
Blaine scoffed. "I am very certain I am far from perfect."
Kurt reached up and put his hand on Blaine's cheek. Blaine's face tingled as he leaned into Kurt's touch. "You are to me."
Blaine was sure he was falling in love.
Kurt was sitting at his desk reading one of his textbooks when his phone rang. He picked up the phone and smiled.
"Hey dad."
"Hey bud! How's Big Apple treatin' ya?"
"Excellent! How are things at home?"
"You know, pretty much that same. Carole says 'hi'."
"Well tell her I say 'hi' back." Kurt thought back to his conversation with Blaine. He wanted his dad opinion, too. "Hey, dad, there's actually something I wanted to talk to you abo-"
"Are you and Blaine together?"
"What? No. I mean, yes we are but that's not-"
"I KNEW IT!"
"Dad."
"From the second I saw the kid look at you, I knew it. I would have thought that maybe you would have waited a little while but if he makes you happy then I'm happy. He does make you happy right?"
Kurt smiled. "Extremely."
"Good. Make sure he treats you right. I'm happy for you, Kurt. Now I've gotta get back to the shop but I'll talk to you soon. Love you, kid."
Kurt sighed. He'd just have to tell his dad later. "Love you too, dad."
Later that week, Kurt was sitting in his Investigating Journalism class. He was trying really hard to pay attention, but Blaine kept texting him.
Baby, I think I have a problem.-B
I thought you were doing homework?-K
This is serious! Beethoven can wait.-B
Class, Blaine. Stop distracting me!-K
I'm making a pouty face at you right now.-B
I really like your pouty face.-K
I really like your face.-B
Kurt snickered, a little louder than he meant. "Mr. Hummel? Is there something funny?"
Kurt looked up to see the professor giving him an unamused look. "Uh no, ma'am. Sorry." The professor gave him a lingering look then turned and started talking again.
You and your adorable dorkiness just got me in trouble. :(-K
I'm not sorry. ;)-B
Kurt looked at the clock. Only five minutes left. Blaine could wait until he got home. He put his phone away and stared aimlessly at the clock. Five minutes later he was packing up his things. "That must have been embarrassing." Kurt turned around quickly to see a boy standing there with a smirk on his face.
"Excuse me?" Kurt said giving the boy his bitch face.
The boy laughed. "I'm just saying, first week of class and already making an impression. And not a very good one." He winked.
Kurt gave the boy a blank stare. "Okay, well I'm leaving now."
Kurt began walking away when the boy spoke again. "See you in class, Mr. Hummel."
Kurt kept walking but turned his head to see the boy checking out his ass.
The boy looked back up at Kurt and smiled. "By the way, the name's Sebastian."
