Kurt had never looked forward to Biology before. Now he found he couldn't wait. He spent a good amount of time getting ready in the morning paying extra attention to his hair and outfit. It wasn't as though Kurt never cared but because he was going to see Blaine he had to make sure he was looking beyond decent and into down right amazing. Kurt smiled at his reflection drinking in his ego at that moment.

"Perfect."

He got to class early enough that the lecture hall wasn't crowded yet and it would be easier for Blaine to spot him. He took a spot near the aisle and waited. Each time the doors in the back opened Kurt turned his head slightly to try and catch a glimpse. It was never Blaine. He gave up once the class was nearly filled. He frowned and sadly picked up his pencil.

"Almost didn't make it. Is someone sitting there?" Blaine gestured to the seat next to Kurt.

Kurt sighed relieved by Blaine's presence. "Only you." he replied and removed his messenger bag for Blaine to sit.

Blaine crossed Kurt; he caught the scent of Blaine's cologne. It sent Kurt's head swimming. Like something straight from a magazine ad; the ones with the men in black and white, shirtless, abs that Hercules would be jealous of.

"Thanks. Ever have one of those days where you're just not enjoying anything you're wearing. You just look in the mirror and just aren't satisfied? I know I sound like a girl right now. Just ignore what I said."

Kurt took a moment to think, "All the time. But if it's worth anything, I think you are looking very…dapper. The checkered bowtie pulls it all together." He flashed a smile.

Blaine's cheeks turned a light pink and looked down at his bowtie like he needed to remember exactly what it looked like. Smugly he fixed it and lifted his head. Kurt could tell that Blaine was joking around.

"Glad you think so."

"Fashion is kind of a passion of mine." Kurt bragged.

Blaine arched his brow and in turn examined Kurt's outfit. It was simple, classy but with Kurt's normal flair of personality. "You look very nice today too. I should start taking advice from you." He winked.

He fucking winked. Kurt, in that moment, could have died. It was just about the cutest thing he had ever seen in the entire world. Kurt didn't have words to respond with. Thankfully Professor Hannigan cleared his throat and greeted the class.

Blaine was sitting next to him, which was amazing but more distracting than when he sat a few rows away. Kurt was very aware of Blaine on his right and the thought was so distracting that when he opened his notebook to the last page of notes completely forgetting about the Blaine portrait. His eyes stayed straight pretending to listen to the lesson.

He didn't notice Blaine glance and smirk. In a low whisper Blaine leaned over, "You got my eyes wrong."

Kurt blinked and looked down. Realizing his careless mistake Kurt turned red and fumbled to turn the page kicking the chair in front of him. He was never this clumsy. He blamed Blaine.

Professor Hannigan stopped mid sentence and stared at Kurt. The look in his eyes could have killed. Blaine snickered beside him covering his mouth to keep from making too much noise. Kurt forced a smile and mouthed "Sorry."

"Kurt, I didn't mean to embarrass you." Blaine said once class was over.

Kurt avoided eye contact still mortified. "I wasn't embarrassed."

"Kurt." A tone that stated, 'don't lie to me'.

He looked up and sighed caught in lie and loving the way Blaine said his name. Kurt put his bag over his shoulder. "Alright, I take back what I said the other day. That was the most embarrassing moment of my college career."

Blaine kept his charming smile on the whole time. Kurt wondered if it was a smile reserved for him.

"Well," Blaine started, he paused thinking over what to say next. "I think you're a fantastic artist and I am flattered and honored to be your model."

Kurt was touched and grateful that Blaine wasn't freaked out by the art. This gave Kurt a new surge of energy and courage. They waked side by side up and out of the lecture hall. Once they were out in the lobby area Kurt spun on the balls of his feet to face Blaine.

His lips stretched into an excited smile. "How about some coffee?"

"How did you know I was a coffee person?" Blaine asked, impressed.

Kurt shrugged, "Lucky guess? You just seem the type. So, how about it?"

"I would love to Kurt, I really wood but-"

"But?" Kurt struggled to keep his smile from wavering.

"But, I'm supposed to meet some friends. I'm sorry." There was that regret in his eyes again the same look Kurt saw the day before. There was also a puppy dog look to those hazel eyes. Kurt couldn't be mad at them ever. "It's not that I don't want to. Can I take a rain check?"

Kurt hated Blaine's friends in that moment. He really did. Regardless, Kurt kept on grinning though it was false and meaningless.

"Of course. We can do that talking thing we discussed before."

Blaine nodded and touched Kurt's arm, "It's a date."

Kurt's eyes grew to the size of walnuts. He followed Blaine with his gaze as he walked off. Once his heart settled down, Kurt took out his phone and called the first person he could think of.

"Rachel, it's Kurt. Can you meet me in student union?"

Rachel was an endless bubble of smiles and optimism. Sometimes Kurt was sure she had caffeine just coursing through her veins. She handed Kurt his coffee and slid into the small booth. Kurt took his coffee and held it staring at the cup well aware of Rachel leaning on the table watching him eagerly.

"Let me start off by saying, I am so happy for you."

Kurt waved his hand, "Calm down Rachel. We haven't gone out yet and we've spoken about a total of three times. We don't need to start registering at Pier One."

Rachel sulked back in her seat. "Sorry. But look at you. You're smiling and I don't think you can stop. I can see that you're excited about this."

Kurt took a sip of his coffee. He made a face as the hot liquid poured down his throat. He smiled through the uncomfortable pain. "Of course I'm excited. Here is this gorgeous man who is obviously taking an interest in me o and he happens to be gay. There would be something wrong if I wasn't excited."

They both took to their respected drinks and sat silently. Kurt fell into thought. And with his mind wandering the door was open for the most unwanted feeling to creep in. Doubt. He picked at the plastic lid.

"Rachel, you don't think I'm reading too much into this do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"All of this. The looks and the smiles and 'it's a date.' He was doing it to be ironic. I know he was." Kurt started talking rapid fire. "Because I said it before he did it to mock me."

Rachel reached out and took Kurt's hand. "Kurt. Breathe. Remember that whole thing with calming down?" she laughed.

Kurt did too. Sighing he sat back in the booth and took another sip of coffee. "You're right. I just have to take this one meeting at a time."

Rachel sat up straight and had another mischievous look on her face. The look that could always send a small ounce of fear down Kurt's spine. He arched a brow at her and cautiously pushed his cup aside. It was impossible to thoroughly read her expression and what she might be planning.

"Have you given thought about the Wicked tryouts? They are coming up in two weeks. It may not be a NYADA production. I bet the set will be a weak interpretation but no doubt the talent should be at least mediocre enough for us to excel to the top taking lead roles for ourselves."

Kurt was only mildly surprised by Rachel's egotistical ways. He was used to it by now and always amused by it. He rolled his eyes. To be honest Blaine was the only thing on his mind in the last two days.

"As always Rachel your sociopathic nature astounds me. No. I haven't thought about it. I think you know my answer though." He smiled.

Rachel squeaked and flailed her hands about excited. Her face lit up with the idea of being in the spotlight for the first time since graduating from McKinley. Kurt couldn't wait either. It had been a long time since he performed on a stage. His classes didn't count. This was something to be ecstatic about and for a moment it took over the topic of Blaine. But when Kurt remembered that Blaine also sang he went back to imagining what Blaine sounded like. So while Rachel rambled on about what song they should work on, Kurt pictured Blaine and him performing a solo. Maybe something like "Candles" by Hey Monday. Sure it wasn't a duet but for some reason it felt right.
