"So Kurt, tell me the plan again?"

"Well Sam," Kurt said to his old friend while standing outside of his workplace, "I'm going to go in there and invite Blaine out for a coffee after work."

"And?" Sam asked raising his eyebrows.

"And I'll tell him I understand his situation about 'coming out' to his father and wouldn't think of a relationship with him as a 'dirty little secret'"

"That's my boy," Sam said poking Kurt in the ribs, making him laugh loudly and then before Kurt could protest Sam was pulling him in for a tight hug, lifting the slightly shorter boy off the ground a little bit. "You're going to do great, go get him tiger." Sam whispered into Kurt's ear.

Kurt hummed happily as he walked into work, the 'pep talk' with Sam on his way over really did help. He had been going over plans with his friends for the past few days and all of his morning off, he needed everything to be perfect. He was a little disheartened when Blaine's father told him Blaine was going out on a date and made it sound like Blaine organised the whole thing- but Kurt knew what Benjamin was like; a homophobic asshole. So of course if he had any indication Kurt liked Blaine he'd try and make Kurt back off, even if it was telling him with a giant smile on his face that his son was going on a date; putting emphasis on the girl part.

"Good morning Mr Anderson," Kurt sang as he cheerfully strolled into Blaine's office, finding out today's schedule and going over a few things. Kurt had noticed that Blaine seemed a bit off, if the way his shoulders where slumped and he was avoiding eye contact (except when he was shooting Kurt these confusing, almost hurt looks.) so he decided to ask him about it.

"Is everything okay Mr Anderson?" Kurt asked in a quiet voice.

"Yeah fine, just peachy," Blaine shot back without a glance at Kurt, although he couldn't mistake the sincere care in the taller boy's voice.

"Oh um," Kurt nervously shifted his weight, foot to foot. "Let me know if you need anything else, sir." Kurt said walking over to the door. No, you set out to do something and regardless of Blaine's mood you better do it.

"Actually, Mr Anderson? If I may-" Kurt turned around fully, facing Blaine's desk. "Can I be unprofessional for a few minutes?"

Blaine looked up at Kurt finally, confused but curious. "Uh, sure?" He was guessing Blaine was going to tell him he was in love with someone else and it would be appropriate if Blaine never mentioned them kissing or something, or that they could never be together; Cooper was wrong after all. Kurt wouldn't wait.

"Blaine, first of all I want to say I'm sorry," Kurt stood there nervously and Blaine titled his head to the side, wondering where this was going, was he going to apologise then tell him about his new boyfriend? "It was wrong of me to try and well… force you to come out more or less. I shouldn't of tried to make you choose between me and the life you've built for yourself. I guess I was being a bit selfish I never really understood what it was like to have a less than accepting father-" Kurt paused, he really needed to save all this for the coffee date; where he planned to talk to Blaine, which was kind of hard when Blaine was looking at him like a kicked puppy and he just wanted to make everything right and for Blaine to not be mad at him anymore. "Look basically, I just wanted to know if you'd maybe… ."

"Excuse me? Sorry I didn't quite catch that…"

"Would you like to go have coffee with me after work?" Kurt said, more clearly now.

Blaine couldn't believe what he was hearing, apologies? Coffee dates? Maybe he misread the whole situation, that would be typical of Blaine; jumping to conclusions before actually finding out the truth.

"Kurt, you don't need to apologise honestly, I understood completely. It's not fair to you to have to make you," Blaine winced. "Sneak around, as for the coffee date? Sure I'd love too." Blaine smiled widely and Kurt nodded, also smiling. "But Kurt, wouldn't your… uh boyfriend mind?"

Kurt titled his head to the side in confusion, he'd never mentioned he had a boyfriend did he? Why would Blaine assume that? "Blaine… I don't have a boyfriend."

Blaine visibly relaxed, sighing with relief; before composing himself and sitting up proper once again. "Oh, sorry I guess I just happened to see you and that blonde guy hugging outside and I just assumed-" Blaine was cut short by a shrill laugh coming from Kurt's direction, he looked up to see Kurt clutching his sides and chuckling heavily.

"Oh my god Blaine I'm so sorry!" Kurt said between laughs. "But that was not my boyfriend." Kurt calmed down a little to explain, "that's Sam, he's my straight friend from high school, he was actually giving me a pep talk to boost my confidence to talk to you." Kurt smiled warmly and Blaine blushed, he was talking to his friends about him?

"Oh, well I guess I'm sorry for assuming." Blaine smiled, inwardly throwing a party at the fact Kurt was single and by the tone of this conversation he might be interested in a relationship.

"So, coffee?" Kurt asked shyly, nervously playing with the hem of his waistcoat.

"Coffee," Blaine smiled and Kurt walked out, which meant he missed the fist pump that Blaine did as soon as he shut the door.

Kurt wasn't any different, he couldn't stop smiling and tapping his feet on the ground as soon as he sat down to try and do some work. Yeah, like I'd be able to concentrate now.

Kurt and Blaine sat opposite each other in the Lima Bean, feeling like two teenagers on their first date; which it could very well turn out to be be if they played their cards.

Blaine told Kurt about his 'horrible' date turned better than expected and Kurt laughed, "wow, you sure know how to pick them." Kurt teased and Blaine nodded.

"You mean my father does," Blaine laughed. "I mean, of course he'd set his gay son up with a lesbian, I mean why not?"

"Maybe the gods are trying to tell him something," Kurt winked.

"Maybe," Blaine sighed contently, things were so easy with Kurt. "So, as much as I love talking to you about my life, I'm guessing you didn't invited me here to hear about my date."

"Well, one of the reasons was so I could talk to you more, but no," Kurt put his coffee down. "So as a continuation of what I said to you at work, I am truly sorry for what I said and I'm willing to take it back completely."

Blaine took a second to catch on what this really meant and when he did his eye widened and Kurt smiled. "So you mean you want to-"

"Yes, if you still want to that is… just so we're on the same page here you want to date me right? I mean like… secretly of course until you're ready to tell your father, or if you never are that's fine I'm not going to rush you or anything I mean it would be nice to go public but oh my god Blaine I'm rambling stop me."

Blaine laughed and put his hand on Kurt's. "Kurt, I would love to be your boyfriend." Kurt smiled widely and Blaine couldn't stop himself from joining in. "But, you're right I do need to tell my father, when that'll be I'm not sure but it will be soon, I want to go public as much as you do. I'd love to tell people you're mine and let them see how lucky I am."

Kurt brushed his thumb over Blaine's hand, "you know as long as I have you I don't care who knows or who doesn't, I mean for now I'd be happy just telling a few close friends if you don't mind."

"Of course Kurt, just because I can't tell too many people because of their connections to my father doesn't mean you can't, I'd love you to tell your friends and family honestly."

"So, we're boyfriends?" Kurt tried to keep the squeal out of his voice.

"Yeah… god I feel like such a teenage boy right now." Blaine smiled lovingly at his boyfriend, boyfriend Blaine thought, Kurt Hummel is my boyfriend. Blaine tried not to jump up and fist pump the air some more.

"So, boyfriend," Kurt said, trying out the word on his tongue. "What shall we do now?"

"Well, I would love to take you out somewhere but I have a lot of work to catch up on, since I missed a lot due to being uh - sick - last Friday and not in most of today."

Kurt tried not to let the disappointment show on his face. "Oh okay."

"Hey," Blaine said shuffling his chair closer to the table to be closer to Kurt. "I know, I want to spend as much time with you too. How about I go over to yours tomorrow or you come over to mine I'll cook you an amazing - well okay I'm lying a mediocre dinner and we can snuggle and watch Disney movies?"

Kurt smiled, heartbreaking beautiful. "That sounds great, however I think it's best that I'll do the cooking, you can help of course." Kurt teased and Blaine pouted.

"Fine," Blaine relented, grinning at Kurt.

"It's a date."
