Author's Notes: Sorry for the delay... I was in a weird mood this week! It's not the longest chapter... Sorry... Also, I wanted to come clean about something. If you have read the edit of chapter 6, you already know about that, so sorry for repeating myself. English is not my first language. I try very hard to avoid any possible grammar mistake. But it's been a long time since my last English class (make that three years) so I forgot a lot about all the grammar rules and stuff. No, I don't have a Beta Reader... I don't know if I want one... If a person beta read my fic, I want to know that person, but I don't know who to ask. I've read fics that I think have worst grammar/spelling that this one. I'll spare names/fandom. I'm truly sorry if that bothers you... Maybe you should just stop reading right here to avoid yourself from suffering! I promise I won't mind! Just stop spreading hate on my tumblr ask! On a lighter mood, I hope you enjoy Shopping!Kurt... He is actually inspired by my own mother when she was taking me shopping when I was a teenager... It a bit exagerated but I think it's fun! Without further bablling, enjoy this chapter!
Dinner was nice. The mood was still heavy from the earlier conversation but Blaine still felt happy. Happy that he could talk to Kurt without being judged, without being shy. Burt knew that something was up. Blaine's eyes were still swollen. He knew that the two boys had talked but he didn't asked question. Kurt was on his "comforting mode" and he knew that he shouldn't stop it.

When all the plates were empty, Kurt told his dad that he and Blaine would go shopping and the chestnut haired boy just left the table, dragging Blaine along. He didn't even wait for his father to reply; he just went straight outside the house, grabbing his keys and wallet and then went to his car.

When they were finally seated in Kurt's Navigator, Blaine shyly asked

"Hum… Kurt, why are you in such a hurry? I mean, we have plenty of time! It's not even six yet!

-Talk for yourself. Three hours is barely enough to replenish a wardrobe! Oh and by the way, I need to know what you used to wear! At school, at home, during special occasions... There are a lot of shops I need to bring you to but I need to know so we can narrow down the sections! Oh! And I need to know what sizes you wear for shirts, pants AND underwear! Having three pair is fine when you love doing laundry, which you loathe! I bet your favourite color is red… I 'm sure you can pull it! You should avoid green tough, it would look awful!"

And Kurt went on and on… When he finally finished talking, Blaine was finally able to answer his questions by telling him that he used to wear his school uniform in Dalton and that he didn't own that much clothing. He had some polos, a few shirts and a few pair of pants, mostly jeans. Not too adjusted, but enough.

Kurt seemed satisfied enough with all his answers. When they arrived at the mall, his spastic behaviour became worse. He dragged Blaine all the way through the parking, then through the front door and didn't let go of his had until they were in the first boutique. Then, he just let go and left Blaine along among the clothing racks while he went browsing.

Ten minutes later, Kurt came back to Blaine as he was looking at a blue polo. Kurt just found one that would fit Blaine's size and said:

"Your changing room is ready. I want you to try everything from a pile without questioning. I am the judge here!

-Oooookay…"

Blaine was now scared… What kind of clothes Kurt found in those racks… Some were fine, really, but some had some scary shirts and really, really tight pants.

When he entered the changing room, he was relieved to find clothes he actually saw himself wearing. He tried on the first outfit, looking at himself before opening the door.

Kurt just looked at him thoroughly. Now feeling shy, Blaine found out the rug on the floor was quite interesting and set his gaze on it.

"Turn around" Blaine heard Kurt say.

His back now to Kurt, his eyes still on the floor, Kurt just hummed to himself and said

"Okay, try the second one"

And this went on and on. Kurt said basically nothing; just telling Blaine to turn around every now and then. Sometimes twice on the same outfit.

Then they reached the twelfth outfit. Kurt hummed and said his regular "Turn around".

"Now, I want you to try on the second pair of pants with the fourth shirt… But this time, roll the sleeves to your elbow!" Kurt instructed

And this went on and on. Blaine had to retry at least 10 tops and every pair of pants twice.

Forty five minutes later, they had four shirts, two polos and three pair of pants to buy. Blaine was wondering how they would pay for that. The last time he went shopping, it was the morning before he was taken to Burt's house. His social worker brought him to a frippery and allowed him to buy for fifty dollars.

This time, the clothing was new and kind of expansive. But Kurt pulled out two cards from his wallet. The first one was his own credit card and the second one was his frequent customer card from this particular boutique.

Seeing that Kurt was willing to pay for him, Blaine tried to protest:

"Kurt, you know you don't have –

-I know! But I want to! You need it and I think Mark Jacobs will live if I don't buy one of his item this season. That makes about 500$ to spend on you!

-But I –

-No "but I"s! If that makes you uncomfortable, you just have to think of it as a loan. You can repay me when you have the money!

-Thanks Kurt. I really appreciate it…

-Don't mention it! I glad you're happy!"

They repeated the process for two more shops. They actually closed the last one, thanking the lady working there for not having them kicked out by a security guard.

By the end of the shopping trip, Blaine had enough clothes to wear for two weeks (including underwear) without doing any laundry. Still not enough in Kurt's taste but enough for Blaine.

When they got back to Kurt's car, bags in hand, Kurt decided to end their evening at the Lima Bean for coffee.

Blaine insisted on paying. The ten dollar bill he didn't use for his lunch that week found a new utility. Burt actually gave Blaine 20$ a week to eat at school, but if he brought lunch from the house, he could keep the money he didn't spent at the school cafeteria.

When they sat down at their table, their conversation was just as easy as usually. It was normal to them to talk about Vogue covers or Broadway. They also talked about Glee Club and the possible songs they could do to beat the Warblers. The subject was a bit tacky for Blaine, but he could talk about it.

Kurt was amazed by the fact that Blaine was already feeling better and that he could freely talk about his previous Glee Club.

They also played at "Who would you rather date?". A very simple game where one of them would state two names, fictional or not and the other would just respond with the one guy he would rather date.

"Okay… Sam or Dean Winchester?" Blaine asked

"What? These are the two Supernatural guys, right? Huh… I've actually see only one episode because of Emily… But I'd say Sam…" Kurt replied

"Why? Dean is waaaaay better! I mean, look at him!

-Yeah… But I prefer Sam's puppy eyes… I mean, nobody can resist them!

-Touch�!

-Okay… My turn…"

And the game went on… When Kurt looked at his watch, it was past eleven. Their curfew was set on midnight because it was Friday night but they didn't want to risk facing an angry Burt. They returned home but neither of them was sleepy, mostly due to the four cups of coffee they each drank back at the coffee shop.

They decided to watch The Little Mermaid on Kurt's laptop. The choice of the movie was motivated by the fact that they listened to Part of your world all week without seeing the movie. It was one of the few Disney movies Kurt owned on DVD, his previous VHS being smashed by a young hyperactive kid named Frederick.

They settled on Kurt's bed, back to the headboard and the laptop resting on Kurt's knees.

In fact, Blaine had to lean into Kurt a little bit to actually see the computer screen without seeing the colors blurring. But he really didn't mind.

On another hand, Kurt chose this particular setting because he knew that Blaine would have to lean in. He could have settled the laptop between them, but he didn't.

The movie started and Kurt just tilted his head to the side towards Blaine. He couldn't help it… Blaine was like a magnet and he was attracted to him.

The movie went one. They sang along every song and Kurt was glad to find out that Blaine actually knew a lot of dialogue.

Kurt sang Part of your World, his voice as hypnotizing as Jodi Benson's one.

Kurt laughed when Blaine mimicked Louis' French accent during the song Les Poissons.

During Kiss the girl both boys were silent. They loved that particular scene. They loved to see how everything was conspiring to make Eric and Ariel kiss. After all, they were both hopeless romantic.

Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You've got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl

Both boys noticed that the space between them did no longer exist. Neither of them moved to change the situation.

Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how, you wanna
Kiss the girl

Both boys were mouthing the words, avoiding each other's eyes. As if they actually tried to hide something.

Sha la la la la la
Float along, and listen to the song
The song say, kiss the girl (woah-woah!)

Finally, both boys looked at each other, eye to eyes, as if they were staring in each other's soul, as if they finally saw each other for the first time.

Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music says
You gotta, kiss the girl

You gotta, kiss the girl

And just when Eric and Ariel fell in the water on the computer screen, Kurt and Blaine kissed. Their lips safely locked together, fitting perfectly and moving carefully in a perfect synchronized way.
