Kurt smiled fondly before worrying his lip in his teeth. He’d thought about saying no, but then again he’d never actually been able to do that. Especially not to Blaine with how guilty he was feeling for purposefully avoiding him. In all honesty, anyone could have asked him and he would have said yes instantly because he really just couldn’t say no. He’d been in many situations where he just physically couldn’t let anyone down and say no, maybe it was some form of complex from being let down so many times in the past himself, but he honestly just couldn’t do it. “I couldn’t very well say no when you asked me so nicely, could I?” Kurt gave a small breathy laugh, licking over his lips in thought. Even if he could have said no, he wouldn’t have. As much as it had hurt in the past that he couldn’t act on his feelings, stop thinking about just kissing Blaine or anything of the sort, the musician was still one of the best friends Kurt had even had the pleasure of having and knowing purely because he listened but wasn’t just listening for his own sake; Blaine wasn’t a busy body wanting gossip to spread around, he was just a genuinely nice and caring person with actually real concerns - that was incredibly rare to come by. “Then it’s a date.” Kurt glanced at Blaine, taking in the way his three quater profile looked in the street lights with a soft smile. He felt like the wind had been knocked out of him, but in a completely lovely way as he listened to his own wispy and breathy voice. “I always wanted curls.” The actor said absentmindedly and shrugged lightly before bumping their shoulders together. “Oh no… it’s fine. Completely fine.” He had half the mind to add in a I really am not complaining or a feel free to do it again but of course he was still apprehensive about pretty much everything and so he lightly brushed his fingers against the hand he was holding. “You could always learn?” Kurt added with a small chuckle before falling back into his carefree blushing smile.

The actor shook his head, lightly biting his lip to stop from saying something or crying or just really doing anything. It wasn’t that he disliked talking about it, it was reliving it all. He was someone who couldn’t dispel his own emotions from anything, as much as he wanted to and was necessary for his line of works - if he was upset his performance would have that underlying upset tone. That’s just how he worked. “It wasn’t being courageous, it was stupidity.” He muttered lightly into the air turning with Blaine and giving a slight shrug and the nod of his head, keeping his eyes trained on the verge or on the other path or just anything to stop his mind from whizzing through everything. He tried not to seem bothered by the loss of contact, keeping his hand curled lightly and hanging by his side as to not seem keen to remove it back to warmth or like he was clingy; but in all truth he liked that contact. It made everything seem more real when he was still having a hard time actually believing half the things which had happened. That was why he couldn’t hide the change to his smile as their hands slid back together, causing him to exhale contently. Honestly walking back to the dorms felt like a complete blur of everything put together and before he knew it he was stood outside, fingers poised on the handle and biting his lip again gently in the smile, eyes locked onto Blaine’s. “Yeah… soon.” Kurt cleared his throat awkwardly, glancing away at the compliment and feeling his cheeks heat up again before chuckling a little to himself. “Hey, everyone could use a boost every now and then….” The brunet practically sang playfully before opening the door slowly. “Thank you, though. You’re the first person to say that.”

Blaine wanted to share his disagreement, tell Kurt that there was nothing stupid about confusing your feelings for someone, no matter how it turns out…but he knew it wouldn’t have helped the situation at all really, so he just kept it to himself as they turned around and headed back for the dorms. The walk back was pretty silent for the most part, he could barely hear his own breathing the slight exhale of air escape his lips from the bitter cold in a puff of white. It was strange how fast things could change, and yet stay the same…though he knew that it probably wouldn’t make much sense to anybody else he just had this feeling as though the two of them had sort of opened up enough to let the other in a little at a time. They were both most certainly themselves though as well, and Blaine couldn’t help but be thankful for knowing someone like Kurt, because he knew for a fact that the other man would - and to some degree already had - have an extremely positive influence on him, and he hoped he’d do the same in return. When they reached the familiar room he tried to keep to himself, eventually forcing his hands into his pockets and leaving a fair amount of space between the two of them. Blaine smiled that fairly rare smile of his, not really being able to help himself as he leaned away from the wall, “You’re welcome…and you really do, just so you know. Anyways…” he glanced down for a moment, collecting his thoughts before meeting his gaze one last time, “I will see you soon. Have a nice night”. Blaine held the smile and nodded to himself before turning and heading back down the hallway…knowing that he had his fair share of pushing boundaries for one night. But as the musician glanced over his shoulder at the actor he had a feeling that what had started as a mere friendship and quite difficultly progressed into something that even he himself had been skeptical of at first, would ultimately make a very powerful impact on him, no matter how things turned out…even if he hoped for the best.
