Chapter 2:

When Kurt pulled into a parking spot in front of The Lima Bean he kept on checking his appearance in his mirrors. If he wasn't messing with his hair he was pulling on the sleeves of he sweater. Just as he closed the mirror his phone started ringing, when he looked Blaine's name was flashing on the screen.

"Hello?" Kurt answered; looking outside of his car seeing if he could spot Blaine anywhere.

"Hey Kurt, listen." Blaine replied into the receiver nervously.

"My parents sort of wont let me drive so Cooper is dropping me off."

"Okay?"

"I was just wondering If you could possibly give me a ride back home then?"

"Yes. Oh my god, of course. Why would you even be worried about that?"

"I-I just don't want to be a bother."

"You are not a bother. I'll see you when you get here."

"Alright." Blaine agreed.

"Why don't you go ahead inside and order your coffee if you haven't already."

"I'll go ahead and do that."

"See you soon Kurt."

When Blaine entered the coffee shop he looked as nervous as Kurt felt. Their eyes met from across the room and they both smiled shyly. Blaine was just about to make his way towards Kurt just as his phone buzzed in his pocket.

Order your drink first.—K the text said and Blaine shook his head smiling before looking back up to Kurt who was pointing at the line.

So pushy. Blaine texted back as he made his way in the line.

You know it. Kurt sent back. A blush grew on Blaine's cheeks as he read the message.

"Hello? Can I help you?" a voice sounded and Blaine jumped pushing his glasses back up his nose.

"May I help you?" the girl asked more softly, now that she had his attention.

"Uh, yes. I would like a medium Drip please?"

"Alright, coming right up." she gave a genuine smile.

"My name is Allison and if you need anything else, just let me know."

"There is something else actually. Can I have a slice of Strawberry Cheesecake for that boy by the window please."

A bigger smile grew on Allison's face and she disappeared into the kitchen for a moment then coming back out. But instead of handing off the cheesecake to Blaine, she came out from behind the counter and crossed the room towards Kurt.

Kurt was lazily drinking his coffee and checking his facebook as he waited for Blaine.

"Hey, Kurt!"

"Hey Ally, what's that?" he gestured towards the plate that is in her hands and zoning in on it.

"Oh, you know exactly what it is. It's your favorite, on the house, thanks to that cute guy over there." she nodded her head towards the counter and beamed as she set the plate in front of him.

A warm smile spread onto Kurt's lips.

"So!?" Allison rocked on her feet.

"Is that him?"

"Yes Allison, so if you do not mind serving him his order so we can start our date?"

"Alright, alright, alright!"

"It's just that you've been so sad lately whenever you come in here with your friends. Happy is a good look for you."

"That's very sweet."

"Alright, coffee. I need to get his coffee, so I'll go back and do that." she could feel Kurt's eyes trained on her.

"Yes, go." he flicked his hand towards the counter.

"Alright, sheesh." she stated walking back towards the counter with a spring in her step.

"You may have possibly made that boys day with that one!" she said cheerfully when she was back behind the counter and face to face with Blaine as she prepared his order.

"Do you know Kurt?"

"You kidding me? Him and his friends come in here everyday of the week piratically. He's a sweet kid." she said handing Blaine his cup and just as Blaine was about to pull out his wallet she waved her hand.

"No, I don't think so. This one is on the house."

"Don't be ridiculous."

Allison crossed her arms across her chest and stared at him pointedly.

"I refuse to take your money, you're lucky my co-worker isn't here. She is much worst, just seeing the sight of you two would make her want to give you the whole coffee shop free."

Blaine quirked his eyebrow.

"Just don't ask." she shook her head.

"Go." she pushed.

"Even Kurt's friends are so pushy." he stated under his breath. Allison was still pointing towards Kurt and Blaine sighed grabbing his coffee and making his way towards Kurt.

When Blaine sat down at the table Kurt quickly pocketed his phone.

"So.." they both said at the same exact time and Blaine hung his head looking up at Kurt through his eyelashes—something that Kurt finds very endearing. A soft blush appeared on Kurt's already rosy cheeks.

"Thanks for the cheesecake by the way."

"I know that you like it." he gave his shoulder a shrug, a soft smile still on his lips. Blaine knew from the moment he was Kurt's face light up the way it did in that moment that he really likes making Kurt happy and he wants to do that a lot more.

"Well," Kurt began.

"The thought was sweet nonetheless." he shifted in his seat fighting off the first date jitters. Out of the corner of his eyes he could see Blaine also moving around in his seat uncomfortable.

"You know, this is weird, this shouldn't be weird." he explained, looking at Blaine in the eyes.

"Come on," Kurt ordered picking up his coffee as Blaine just looked up at him with a confused but amused look on his face.

"Will you just come on." he snickered already heading towards the door.

"How do I know you aren't going to take me to some secluded area and do away with me. I know you seen Cooper. I know what you are thinking Hummel." Blaine stood up from the table; joking.

"Oh, don't be silly." Kurt rolled his eyes.

"I thought we could just go for a nice walk and talk." the smile that Kurt sent over his shoulder before he walked out the door had Blaine frozen where he was standing.

He only knew Kurt for a short amount of time and he can already see how funny, charismatic, perceptive, persuasive, and perfect he truly is. Not only did Blaine find Kurt beautiful in every way. He loves how boisterous and confident he is. Kurt, he is something every special, and Blaine is learning that very quickly.

Blaine finally made his way outside of The Lima Bean, after saying goodbye to Allison. Kurt was leaning against the wall—he hadn't heard Blaine come out. He was singing something softly under his breath;looking out into the distance, his cheeks bright red from the cold. The flush traveled up to his ears which are now almost covered in an expensive looking winter hat. His hands were stuffed into his pockets and he started singing a little bit louder and Blaine couldn't help but to mutter

"Adorable."

Kurt's singing stopped and he jumped; looking off to his side, only to see Blaine.

"What?" he questioned.

"Nothing, you're just adorable." Blaine offered him his hand.

"Shall we?" he questioned to Kurt and Kurt's lip quivered trying to hold back his smile.

"You're a dork, oh my god." he laughed and Blaine did nothing but wiggle his hand in front of Kurt's face.

"Fine." he gave in; grabbing Blaine's hand, his own hand warming up instantly.

They both looked down at their joined hands then back at each other.

"Shell we?" Kurt repeated Blaine's words.

"We shall." Blaine supplied with a chuckle as thy both began to walk towards the park, hand in hand—both content with just being together. Neither of them really said anything for a few moments, they just sipped quietly on their coffees and took in the surroundings around them. Snow was still lover over on the ground from the day before, there were a few children playing in it, and a few parents buffing it out in the cold so their kids could play around. Mostly they were alone, which is something that Kurt is grateful for. He really didn't want one of the neanderthals from his school to spot them and ruin everything.

Blaine decided to break the silence after a little bit.

"I actually wanted to make everything about today very special for you." he said suddenly.

"I had it all planned out too. It was going to be like one of those cheesy 80's movies type of moments...but my parents sort of ruined it by making my brother drop me off, late even." he rambled and Kurt gave his hand a firm squeeze.

"I think today is perfect." He assured Blaine.

"Some of the greatest things that happen don't always go according to plan."

"Yeah." Blaine nodded. He agreed. He was having a very good time, but he couldn't help but to get a little upset, the hopeless romantic in him visioned today in a very different way—but really looking at it, this couldn't be more perfect.

"I guess you are right."

"I am always right." it was simply said and they both laughed.

"So where do you go to school?" Kurt questioned.

"I haven't seen you around Lima before."

"You're going to laugh."

"Oh, no I wont." he dismissed.

"Dalton Academy School For Boys."

"A prep school boy, nice!" Kurt winked making Blaine blush.

"Oh, shut up." he mumbled.

"Be nice." Kurt demanded in a joking tone, and Kurt had trouble believing it all. That he was here, in the park, hand in hand with a boy...the boy that he was destined to be with, having a good time. They were so comfortable around each other already, it's something that Kurt just doesn't understand..that someone he only knew for a few days could make him feel like this.

"Okay, fine." Blaine grinned; pulling Kurt out of his thoughts.
"Where do you go to school Kurt?"

"I go to William McKinley High School, also known as Lima, Ohio's living hell on earth."

"Why's that?"

"I just get bullied a lot." Kurt shrugged his shoulder taking another sip of his coffee.

"The glee kids get it too, but I get it much worst because I'm different."

Blaine nodded his head in understanding. A frown made its way onto Kurt's face and Blaine doesn't like it there so he quickly changed the subject.

"You're in your schools glee club?" the smallest of smiles appeared on Kurt's face, washing away the frown that was just there a few moments prior.

"Yeah, the biggest bunch of misfits you will probably ever meet..but I love them to death."

"Were those girls that were with you at the mall some of your friends from Glee?"

"Yes, those are my girls."

"Tell me about them." Blaine suggested him and Kurt huffed in amusement.

"Why am I the only one answering all of these questions?"

"I want to know more about you." Blaine pouted adorably; looking up at Kurt with those big brown eyes. His bottom lip jutted out perfectly—just making Kurt want to kiss it and goddammit if that wasn't the cutest thing he has ever seen.

"There will be plenty of time to learn about me, eternity. Today I want to learn about you, now answer my question."

Something about that made butterflies flutter in Kurt's stomach.

Eternity

This man holding his hands was going to be his forever.

This is something that Kurt knew for ages, that the person who's name was marked onto his wrist will be forever his.

But to be with Blaine right now, right in this moment, seeing a glimpse of the man he is, seeing a glimpse of the man he has a lifetime to know—it was hitting him hard.

"Kurt?"

"Kurt?" Blaine called out again and Kurt jumped.

"Right, uhm. Where do you even want me to start, you only seem some of them like twice. I bet you don't know what they even look like."

"They make you happy, so I want to know more about them." Blaine shrugged.

"Start with your best friend first."

"Okay." Kurt nodded. Screaming internally.

"My best friend, her name is Rachel, and if you would have told me four years ago that she was going to be my best friend—I would have thought you were on something. She's my stepbrother Finn's soulmate, and she is irritatingly annoying, but you really grow to love her." he started.

"The other girls, Tina and Mercedes. They are both really nice friends. They both helped me out a lot. Tina she is quiet and reserved, but once you really get to know her, she can be a handful..and Mercedes she's my sugar mama." he laughed and Blaine was just looking at him warmly; smiling.

"They sound like really great people."

"They really are, what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Who are your closest friends?"

"My two best friends are Wes and David. The are soulmates and they are constantly under my skin. He and David are both council members for our schools acapella show choir.

"You're in the Glee Club too?"

"Oh—no. No." Blaine stated.

"Why not?"

Hanging his head Blaine frowned.

"I'm really not that great—and I'll get nervous—and it just wont end good."

"I'm sure you will do great, Blaine. If members of the council for your Glee Club are trying to get you to join you should really join!"

"I-I don't know." Blaine stated unsure.

"Just think about it, kay." walking with Blaine to the trash cans they both threw away their coffee cups.

After the threw away their coffee cups Kurt and Blaine decided to start heading home. So they made their way towards Kurt's navigator, which is parked in front of The Lima Bean. Just as they approached the car a girl walking by caught a glimpse of them and a smile appeared on her face right before she walked straight into a pole.

"Oh my god!" Kurt gasped running over.

"Lauren, are you okay?" he asked the redhead girl who was now clutching her head.

The door to The Lima Bean opened with a ring and Allison stepped out; rolling her eyes at the scene before her eyes stopped on Blaine.

"She's the one that I warned you about."

"Lauren?" Kurt called her name again and Allison just shook her head.

"I'll take care of it." she pushed Kurt aside and stepped in front of her best friend.

"Hey bitch!" she yelled raising her hand and smacking her in the face.

Lauren shook her head and glared at Allison.

"Jerk." she muttered slapping Allison back.

Blaine looked over at Kurt in concern and Kurt just shook his head.

"This is normal." he explained and Lauren turned back towards Kurt; a knowing smile on her face.

"Lauren, no." Allison ordered grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her to the entrance.

"But Kurt found him and they look so cute, and I want them to be together forever, and have beautiful babies, I just want them to know that!" she pouted and Allison shook her head.

"Can I at least give them coffee. No my house! I'll throw my dad out and they can have my house."

"Lauren, where would you live, and don't think for a second that I'll let you live with me." she pinched the bridge of her nose before turning back towards Kurt and Blaine.

"Please just go and do what yous were originally going to do, while I try to get this one inside." she mumbled her grasp still firm on Lauren's wrist as she opened the door and pulled Lauren inside with her.

"What. Was. That." Blaine questioned under his breath walking to Kurt's side of the car and opening his door for him.

Kurt smiled hopping in and turning towards Blaine.

"That was Lauren, she is my friend Brittany's cousin. If you met her you'd understand. She really isn't that bad though." he shrugged already used to Lauren's antics and Blaine merely nodded before looking back at Kurt who was looking back at him.

Kurt cleared his throat and settled into his seat the right way.

"We should really, um, get going." Kurt stated pushing the key into the ignition while Blaine closed Kurt's driver's side door and made his way into the passenger's side seat.

The ride was mostly quiet, except for the sound of Kurt's i-pod which is in Blaine's hand. They didn't feel the need to talk, they felt comfortable with each other already. Everything in that moment felt right. Blaine would also talk every few moments to tell Kurt to turn here, or stay straight. The neighborhood that they were approaching in Westerville is a very nice neighborhood. They were the type of houses you would think a doctor or lawyer would live in. Kurt wondered for a moment if Blaine's parents happened to be either of those.

"Third driveway on the left." Blaine said looking uncomfortable.

When Kurt turned into the driveway Blaine sank into his seat and Kurt's mouth dropped in complete shock.

What he had pulled into looked like a picture from in a magazine.

"Your home is beau—"

"It's just a house, Kurt." he said a little to harshly.

Flinching at his own words Blaine turned towards Kurt to apologize.

He cupped Kurt's hand in his own.

"Thank you. But it's just a house. I mean I'm not even there half of the time. I'm always at Dalton, besides during the weekends and holidays. So it is pretty hard to call this my home."

Kurt nodded.

"I'm sorry. It must be hard to stay in a place that doesn't feel like a home to you."

"Enough of all of this." Blaine smiled.

"I had a wonderful time." he said his voice soft and happy.

"I did too."

Neither of them wanted to go.

Their tethers were just pulling them closer.

"I'll see you later Kurt." he kissed Kurt softly on the lips.

Kurt's heart was flying.

"Huh?" Kurt asked against Blaine's lips and Blaine just chuckled—warm puffs of air hitting against Kurt's cheek, and Blaine's eyelashes tickling his skin.

"I said I will see you later." he whispered back; pressing his lips 1....2...3...4... more times before opening the door and giving Kurt a dazzling smile over his shoulder before he hopped out of Kurt's navigator and walked backwards towards his house.

Kurt waved at Blaine and Blaine waved dumbly back before disappearing into the house.

Kurt leaned against the house door that he had closed behind himself. He closed his eyes and bit his bottom lip to stop himself from squealing. When he finally gained control over himself; he pushed off of the door and made his way into the living room. Burt was sitting in his chair, beer in hand, and watching the football game with Puck, who was laying by the fire place.

"What are you doing here still Noah?" he questioned when he walked into the room and took a seat onto the couch; tucking his legs underneath him.

"Hummel!" he exclaimed; getting up from his spot and sitting next to Kurt on the couch.

Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"How'd your date go man? Puck looked genuinely interested which really confused Kurt.

"Yeah, how did it go Kurt?" Burt joined in and one of he biggest smiles appeared on Kurt's face.

"Well, it all went like this....."
