Kurt spun around in front of his full length mirror taking in every angle of his outfit. He was wearing some of his favorite skinny jeans, black with red stitching down the side. With a black button down shirt and a charcoal colored vet. To finish it off he wore black studded ankle high biker boots and a red brooch of two wings hooked together by a couple of dangling chains. 

He knew he looked good. The pants fit great. But still he felt the faint flutter of nerves in his belly. Nope. He couldnt were this. Too dark. He unbuttoned his vest and threw it on his bed and then stripped of the dark shirt. 

"Kurt!" his dad called from downstairs and for a moment he thought hed lost track of time and that Blaine was already here. He heart leaped and he turned to look at his clock. 

No, he still had over half an hour. 

Kurt sighed in relief and then went to the top of the stairs in just his black jeans and undershirt. 

His dad looked him up and down. "You wearing that?"

"No dad." Kurt said rolling his eyes and folding his arms in front of him. 

His dad smirked. "Well I just wanted to remind you that I plan on meeting Blaine this evening when he picks you up. I know you wouldnt plan on sneaking out without giving me a chance to say hey to the kid, but I thought Id mention it anyway." 

Kurt let out a breath, blowing his bangs out of his face, that was exactly what hed been hoping to do actually. "Right. You get to meet Blaine. Got it.

Burt smiled and nodded. "Okay, go get ready. I wont bother you again until he gets here." 

Kurt went back to his room and stood in front of his closet hands on his hips. He felt a strange little tug in his stomach and ignored it in favor of going through his tops again. He was pulling out a shirt and sweater when his stomach swooped again and he let out a pleased little laugh. 

What was that?

Kurt sat on his bed and undid his pants kicking them sand his boots off and putting on the white shirt and loose hanging button-up blue sweater hed picked out before going to look for a new pair of pants. 

He couldnt stand still all a sudden, he started bouncing on the balls of his feet as his fingers wiggled and his skin buzzed. He was so excited he could hardly stand it. It was weird. If anything he was nervous right now, and frustrated that the minutes were counting down and he still didnt have a full outfit. Where was this unexplained excitement coming from?

Then a grin spread across his face. Blaine. Kurt had been having unaccounted spurts of nerves all day that he knew were coming not only from him but from Blaine. By this time Blaine would be ready to go and on his way and suddenly Blaine was excited. Kurt was feeling Blaines excitement over this evening.  

Kurt laughed and closed his eyes picturing Blaine in his car listening to music too loud and tapping out a beat on the stirring wheel, too happy to be still. He opened his eyes and the picture faded but the excitement remained, buzzing under his skin and making him feel giddy. 

Blaine felt like that right now. Blaine felt like that because of him. 

Kurt pulled out a pair of dark jeans and put them on along with a pair of knee high boots. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and felt better. This was a good first... well second date outfit. 

He had just enough time to clean up the clothes tossed around his room and check to make sure his hair was perfect when the doorbell rang. 

Kurt rushed downstairs to answer it before his dad, but Burt beat him to it. 

"Hello Mr. Hummel" Kurt heard Blaines voice. "Im Blaine."

Kurt walked up to see his dad and Blaine shaking hands. When Blaine looked up and saw him his eyes brightened and a smile broke out on his face. 

"Kurt!" He said and bounced a little. 

"Why dont you come in for a minute?" Burt invited him and the three of them made their way to the living room. Blaine and Kurt stealing shy glances at each other. 

Blaine wore a dark gray sweater with a folded down collar buttoned over a snug fitting, light colored polo and light gray slacks. It was the first time Kurt had seen him out of his Dalton uniform and he looked gorgeous. 

They all sat down and Blaine spoke up immediately. "It is great to finally meet you Mr. Hummel" he said with a genuine smile. "Kurt has told me a lot about you."

"Has he?" Burt said his face stern as he raised an eyebrow in a way that made Kurt realize where he got it from. Kurt felt his stomach tighten with anxiety and almost laughed when he realized he was feeling intimidated by his dad. Or Blaine was so Kurt was feeling it too. 

"Uh yes." Blaine answered. "But its good, its all good!" 

"Dad." Kurt said and gave him a look. 

Burts stern face turned softer and he glanced back at Blaine and gave him a warm smile. 

"Well, Kurt has talked about you none stop ever since he met you." His dad said. "Actually hes been pretty much talking about you since he was five."

Kurts eyes grew round and he felt a blush burn over his cheeks. But Blaine laughed and the nervous knot in his belly undid itself. 

"I use to talk to Kurt when I was a kid. My parents called him my imaginary friend. I use to make up names for him, but none of them sounded right until I met him and he introduced himself as Kurt."

Kurts blush deepened and it was his turn to lift his eyebrows, Blaine hadnt told him that before. He liked that a lot. Blaine must have been the most adorable kid ever. 

Know that the tension was broken they talked a little bit longer before Kurt and Blaine headed out. Burt put a hand on Blaines shoulder and told him to call him Burt. "But you better have him back by curfew."

"I will Mr... Burt." Blaine said and then winced at his mistake. 

Kurt grabbed his hand and said goodbye to his dad as he dragged him out of the house knowing his dad would keep them their all evening if he could. 

His dad was happy that Kurt had found his Soulmate, but he wasnt ignorant of what people usually got up to when they finally found one another and Kurt sometimes thought he dad probably wished he met Blaine more around the time he turned 30. 

Not that they were going to do... that after only knowing each other a few days, even if they had been a tremulous few days. Kurt was no where ready for that kind of thing. Even the thought of anything more than just kissing made his face heat up and his hands get sweaty. 

God, he was glad Soulmates couldnt read each other minds or Kurt would have burst into flames from pure embarrassment right now. 

Blaine walked them to his Honda and opened the door for Kurt who slid in and tried to shake the thoughts that were in his head out. Blaine climbed in next to him and flashed him a charming smile. 

"I like your father." He said. 

That would do it, talking about his dad was a great change of thought for him. 

"Yeah, dads great. I dont know what Id do without him." 

Blaine grabbed his hand and gave it an encouraging squeeze. "He seems to be doing really well."

"He is. And Carole takes good care of him."

"Theyre pretty serious then?"

"Im already mentally planning their wedding."

Blaine laughed at that and the conversation was easy and light after from there on. Blaine took him to a nice restaurant hed never tried before and it was just like lunch earlier that week, there was no end of conversation topics or smiles between them.

Blaine told him more about his Family. Cooper, who Kurt had already heard about and his parents. 

"My parents are great." Blaine said. "But sometimes I... I think they wish I was straight. Theyve never said as much out loud, but Ive known since I was little my Soulmate would be a boy, and Ive always thought they were a little disappointed about that. My dad especially."   

"Oh Blaine." Kurt said sympathetically and scooted closer to him in the booth. 

"Cooper is the golden child." Blaine smiled "But I cant see how they couldnt love you." 

Kurt felt nervous all of a sudden about meeting Blaines parents who didnt want Blaine to be with another boy. Blaine must have sensed it because he laid his hands on top of Kurts on the table. "Kurt, theyll love you."

After dinner they stopped by a coffee place and grabbed to-go orders and Blaine drove them out to a place where they could look over the city and also see the stars coming out. 

"You know people come up here to make-out dont you?" Kurt said as they climbed out of the car and Blaine moved to sit on the hood of his vehicle. 

Blaine pressed a hand against his chest in mock surprise and spoke in a heavily southern accented voice. "Why Kurt, Im not that kind of boy." He said and then winked and patted the space next to him. 

Kurt shook his head and climbed up next to him. They spent a few minutes in silence, sipping their coffee, shoulders brushing up against each other. It was a beautiful evening the sky was clear and the view was beautiful, but Kurt couldnt help sneaking glances at Blaine. 

"Kurt." Blaine said quietly and Kurt felt a little edgy all of a sudden. Blaine must be nervous about what he was about to say. 

Blaine looked down at his cup and played with the cardboard sleeve instead of making eye contact. "Do you think its weird that even though weve met I can still sense your emotions?"

That wasnt what Kurt had expected at all. "I dont think weird is the word Id use, I was looking it up the other day and it does seem like were unique."

Blaine glanced up at him. "So it doesnt freak you out? You dont think there is something wrong with me?"

"Something wrong with you?" Kurt repeated confused. 

"I was thinking about it the other day after the Karofsky... incident. I shouldnt have been able to feel you, but I did. Strongly. I didnt think about it at the time because I was just worried about you. But I mentioned it in passing to my parents, not telling them I still felt you, and they said that didnt happen. That once you met your Soulmate, that goes away."

Kurt sat and thought about that for a minute. They werent the only ones like this; in fact that article he read made it sound like it just meant that their connection was extra strong. That didnt make them weird. That made them special. 

"Wait." Kurt said suddenly catching on to what Blaine was saying. "Do you think youre alone in this?"

Blaine shrugged. "I dont know, do you think there are other people out there that still sense their Soulmate after meeting them?"

"Yes." Kurt said without pause finally understanding the anxious feeling he was getting form Blaine. "I do. Blaine. I feel you. I can feel you right now. This isnt a one-sided thing." 

"Wait. What do you mean you can feel me?"

"I mean the connection goes both ways Blaine. You are nervous now, and you were intimidated by my dad and you were excited on your way over today. I can still sense your emotions too. It isnt just you." 

Blaine eyes widened and Kurt felt relief wash over him as Blaine started to understand. Blaines face softened and his eyes fluttered closed, dark long eyelashes fanning out, relief written all over his expression. 

"I thought you knew that!" Kurt said. 

"No. I didnt." Blaine answered as a little smile turned the corners of his lips up. 

Kurt put down his coffee and leaned his forehead against Blaines. "I dont think were weird." He said reaching around to hold the back of Blaines neck. "But if we were wed be weird together." 

Blaine looked at Kurt and smiled and Kurts heart did a little leap against his ribs. Before either of them could say anything else their lips met. Blaine moved a hand to Kurts waist and another to his jaw and they kissed. Kurt felt Blaines tongue slide against his lips and Kurt puffed out a breath of air as his parted his lips and let Blaines tongue find a place there. 

Kurt sighed at the soft slid of Blaines full lips, his heart felt full and giddy. He tugged Blaine closer causing Kurt to end up on his back on the hood of the car with Blaine over him. 

Kurt let out a surprised gasp as his back met the hood worried that he might slide off, but Blaines weight on top of him was gentle yet steady, his hands anchoring Kurt at his waist as his lips and tongue continued to unravel Kurt.

Kurt clung to Blaines back and shoulders, Blaine kept enough space between their bodies to stop this from going somewhere Kurt wasnt ready for, but the feel of his sure hands holding him and his lush lips exploring Kurts made Kurt whimper and bend a knee to lift himself up to get closer to Blaine, to have more of him. He tugged on Blaines bottom lip and was reward by a delicious moan from him. Kurt lifted his hips to be even closer. 

Kurt could hardly even distinguish between what he was feeling and what Blaine was feeling, probably because both of them just wanted. Kurt knew he felt affection and joy and desire.

Then Blaine pulled back. He looked down at Kurt with swollen lips and dark eyes, his breathing irregular. Kurt licked his lips and tasted Blaine, he moved to bring their lips back together but Blaine backed away, rolled to his side so he was laying down near Kurt, but not near enough. 

"Can we... can we cool off?" Blaine said in an unsteady voice. 

Oh. 

Kurt felt hot and flushed and covered his eyes with his arm while he let out a laugh. Wasnt he just thinking about not being ready to go too far minutes ago? And now Blaine was the one reminding him to slow down. He was grateful for it though, his body might not know it, but he really wasnt ready for what he had been heading towards. 

"Yeah. Cool down." Kurt said. They were both quite for a moment as their breaths steadied. Kurt turned on his side to look at Blaine who looked back at him with an expression of such deep adoration that Kurt could barely find words. 

"Im so glad youre my Soulmate." Kurt said. It didnt really express all Kurt was feeling, but then again, Blaine probably knew what he was feeling anyway. And if Kurt wasnt mistaken Blaine felt the same way. 

It seemed too soon to say the words out loud though. 

Blaine clasped Kurts hands between their bodies and places a chase kiss to his lips. "Im so glad you are mine." 

They enjoyed just being near each other for a while before Kurt spoke again. "There are others like us. Who still feel each other after they met. I found an article from a Doctor at Sanford. Ill send it to you."  

Blaine lifted his hand and started playing with Kurts hair making him sigh and snuggle closer to Blaine. 

"I was worried for nothing I guess." Blaine said. 

Kurt smiled and hummed in response, enjoying the stars above him and his Soulmate at his side. Eventually they had to get up and leave to make it home before curfew. 

Blaine walked Kurt to the door and they spent a few more sweet moments there before they said goodnight. 

Kurts dad was waiting up from him but didnt mention Kurts bright eyes, rosy cheeks or obviously kiss swollen lips. Which Kurt was deeply grateful for. 

In bed after his skin-care routine and slipping in to PJs Kurt enjoyed the feeling of joy and promise thrumming through him, and through Blaine to it would seem.

It turned out that second dates were the best thing in the world.
