This is for my dear Gleeker1985 who actually prompted Klaines first date... I meant to write that but this little drabble happened instead. Hope you enjoy it!
Blaine didnt understand why he was so nervous. In San Francisco he and Kurt had lived together for months. They had seen each other every day. They had been through more in half a year than most couples ever go through. So why in the world was he so nervous about one little date?
Blaine looked at his reflection in the mirror and rolled his eyes. This outfit was all wrong. He started untying his bowtie when the message tone went off on his phone, he picked it up to see a text from Kurt.
“What are you wearing? What should I wear? Where are we going? Help.”
Blaine laughed and read the text again, maybe he wasnt the only one nervous about this date. Even with all the time they spent together and the things theyd been through this was, after all, their first real date.
Blaine glanced back at his reflection in the mirror and smiled. What he was wearing would be fine, the important thing was that hed be with Kurt.
“Im sure whatever youre wearing will be perfect.” He texted back.
It was a moment before Kurt replied: “Im not wearing anything!!!”
Blaine laughed again before typing out: “That does sound perfect.”
Kurt quickly responded: “No Blaine, if I cant find an outfit we arent doing this at all.”
Kurt must be really nervous, not the time to joke around then. Blaine decided to just call him.
“Blaine.” Kurt answered and jumped right in, “I cant find anything to wear, all my cloths are awful!”
“That cant be true. You have the best taste in fashion of anyone I know. Weve spend hours together looking at Vogue. You must have amazing clothes.”
“Maybe before, but they didnt keep everything and a lot of it is out of style now and I havent had a chance to really get some good new staples and I dont know what to wear and I just want it to be perfect and it isnt perfect and if it starts off this bad then-”
“Kurt.” Blaine said gently “Kurt its okay.”
Kurt took a deep breath on the other end of the line. “I think Im a little anxious Blaine.” He said with a nervous laugh.
“Right now I have a pile of discarded clothes laying on my bed. Im nervous too, but Kurt its just me. It us. Why do we need to be nervous?” Blaine asked.
“This is the first time Ive even been on a date with a guy besides... besides Sebastian." Kurt said ina quiet voice. "And not only that it is with you and I just... I want it to be perfect.”
Blaine scooted some of his clothes out of the way and sat down on his bed, hit by how important this really was. He was silent for a moment thinking of the right thing to say.
“Blaine?” Kurt prompted.
“Kurt, this date could be a disaster.” Blaine sighed. “Our outfits could clash, or worse yet match. The car could get a flat tire. The food could be terrible and make us feel sick. The movie could be a flop or we could sit behind someone with huge hair that text the whole way through. We could get stuck in the rain or... or I dont know... it could be the worst date in history of dates and it would still be perfect. You know why?”
“Why?” Kurt asked with a smile in his voice.
“Because it is you and me. Together and... alive. Kurt, as long as you are there I really dont care what either of us are wearing or about anything else.”
Kurt was didnt answer for a long moment. “I love you Blaine.” he finally said.
“I love you too.” Blaine smiled.
“But if you show up and we are in matching outfits I am changing. Or actually, you are going home and changing. Understood?”
Blaine laughed and fell back on the bed. “Understood. Now... are you really wearing nothing right now?”
“Just my boxers.”
Blaine groaned, “We dont even have to go out. We could stay in...”
“Blaine Devon Anderson, I am picking out an outfit right now and you are leaving to come pick me up and we are going on this date.”
“Yes sir!” Blaine said. “Ill see you soon.”
“See you soon.”
Blaine ended the call and held the phone to his chest grinning wildly. This was going to be the best first date ever.
