"I'm really sorry about them." Blaine said to Kurt when they got back upstairs.
"I understand I have crazy friends too. I think they mean well though."
"I think they do. Ok, so spaghetti." Blaine said pulling out the ingredients from his cupboards.
"Jarred sauce really Blaine?"
"Does sauce come any other way?"
"Well there's always homemade."
"I have never had homemade spaghetti sauce in my entire life."
"Well that's sad. Tell you what we'll have the jarred stuff today but at some point in the future I'm going to teach how to make your own."
"Sounds like a plan." Blaine smiled.
"Why don't you pick a movie for us to watch after we're done eating?" Blaine suggested while he was cooking, Kurt looked through Blaine's collection and settled on Moulin Rouge.
"You have a great collection." Kurt commented.
"Thanks. Dinner will be ready soon, I may have made too much though I'm used to cooking for Sam and Niff as well as myself."
"Do they live here too?" Kurt asked looking around the tiny apartment wondering how four men could live there.
"No, they just spend most of their time here." Blaine laughed. "And they all have keys."
"They all have keys?"
"Yeah but I have keys to their place too."
"What if you don't want company?"
"That's why the door also has a chain."
"Oh ok. The four of you are really close huh?"
"Yeah, well Nick, Jeff and I have known each other a really long time and Sam's just awesome we bonded rather quickly. I actually thought he was gay when I first met him and had a small crush on him."
"Me too!" Kurt exclaimed.
Blaine laughed.
"After my parents cut me off they became my family, you know?"
"Understandable. I know you didn't want to talk about this today but I'm still going to ask do you have any contact with your family?"
"Not with my parents but I just found out Cooper's being giving me money, so I guess I should call him tomorrow."
"You don't seem thrilled."
"I'm worried about how it will go."
"If you need moral support I'd be happy to be there when you call him."
"Yeah?"
Kurt nodded.
They ate their dinner and Blaine put the leftovers in the fridge, knowing with his friends it wouldn't last long. Kurt and Blaine sat on Blaine's bed with his laptop to watch Moulin Rouge, Blaine had a really shitty TV that had a tendency to randomly turn off so he used it as little as possible. At some point they both fell asleep with Blaine's laptop in between them. They woke up the next morning with sore necks to the sound of Kurt's phone.
"Hey Rachel." He answered his phone.
"I know, I fell asleep watching a movie." He replied to whatever Rachel said.
"A friend's."
"No you don't know him."
"Yes, it's a him."
"No he's not a serial killer."
"He's friends with Sam for one thing."
"Yes, that Sam."
"I should go now Rachel. I'll see you at home later."
Kurt hit the end call button of his phone. "Sorry about that, it was my roommate she's a little crazy."
"She was just worried because you didn't go home. It's sweet."
"Yeah it is. Do you want breakfast before you call your brother?"
"Ugh! You're really going to make me do that?" Blaine asked flopping over.
"Yes."
"You're mean! No you aren't, I shouldn't have said that."
"Blaine it's fine, I know you were joking."
"Ok, breakfast will be ready in a few seconds." Blaine said standing up and walking to his kitchen.
"A few seconds? What are you planning on feeding me Blaine?"
"Poptarts." Blaine said proudly.
"No."
"No?"
"No. You go shower or something and I'll make us a real breakfast."
"But they're actual Poptarts, not the store brand or anything." Blaine insisted.
Kurt looked at Blaine and blinked a few times.
"I've got Eggos, it you'd prefer."
"Wow."
"I think I'm going to shut-up now."
"Good plan." Kurt said looking around Blaine's kitchen.
Blaine watched Kurt as he cooked.
"What are you making?"
"Pancakes."
"Oh! I love pancakes!" Blaine said excitedly.
"Good."
"Where did you learn to cook?"
"I used to help my mom when I was little and then when she died I realised I either had to learn to cook or continue to eat the TV dinners my dad made for dinner and those are not food."
"There's nothing wrong with TV dinners." Blaine said quietly.
"They aren't real food Blaine. Please tell me you don't eat that shit."
"Sometimes."
"If you want to be my boyfriend you won't ever eat another TV dinner."
"Ok."
"Ok?"
"Ok, I'll never eat another TV dinner. "
Kurt smiled.
"Does this mean you're my boyfriend now?" Blaine asked.
"I don't know, we haven't kissed yet. There may not be a spark." Kurt said playfully.
"We better see." Blaine said moving towards Kurt
"Yes we should." Kurt said breathlessly.
Blaine placed his hands on Kurt's face and places a gentle kiss on the taller man's mouth. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and deepened the kiss. They stopped kissing to catch their breath and pressed their foreheads together with their eyes closed.
"Wow, definite spark." Kurt said quietly.
"Oh yeah." Blaine replied.
They traded a few smaller kisses until Blaine's smoke detector reminded them that Kurt had been making breakfast.
"Ok, we better stop or I'll be homeless and unemployed, and then I'd have to move with Niff and Sam and I don't think I can handle that Kurt." Blaine said pulling away.
"Ok, no burning the place down got it." Kurt said nodding.
Kurt went back to making the breakfast as Blaine watched. Normally Kurt would find it disconcerting to have someone watching his every move but for some reason it didn't bother him when it was Blaine. After they ate and did the dishes together Kurt handed Blaine his phone.
"Time to call your brother." He said.
Blaine took a deep breath and then took his phone from his new boyfriend.
You've reached the voicemail of Cooper Anderson, leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can. BEEEP
"Hi Cooper, it's....it's Blaine. Umm. Nick and Jeff told me what you've been doing for me and I just....Thank you Cooper. You have no idea how much the money has helped me, or maybe you do. I don't know. Anyway, I'm really sorry that I stopped talking to you when mom and dad cut me off, I think I took my anger at them out on you and that wasn't fair of me. So, umm...if you want to call me back I'll answer. Yeah, ok. Bye."
Blaine hung up the phone and turned to Kurt who wrapped him up in a tight hug.
"I'm so proud of you honey." Kurt whispered.
"I want you to be." Blaine replied his voice thick with emotion.
"Do you have to work today?" Kurt asked
"Yeah in like half an hour."
"Ok, you go shower and then I'm going to go home and later I'll stop by and maybe I'll bring my roommate with me so we can try and compare who has the crazier friends."
"Has she ever tried to give you the sex talk?"
"No." Kurt replied wrinkling his brow wondering where this was going.
"Then I'm going to win 'cause Niff did."
"They tried to give you the sex talk?"
"They even offered to demonstrate a few things."
"Please tell me they were joking."
"I have no idea I ran out of there as fast as I could just in case. I love them and all but I really don't want to see that."
"That's disturbing."
"Oh baby, you don't even know the half of it."
"You called me baby."
"I did and you called me honey earlier."
"I like it."
"Me too." Blaine smiled.

I thought I'd be honest with you and tell you I love, absolutely love, your story up to this chapter. I think it's a very adorable story and Niff, Sam and Blaine are really funny together! Though perhaps you could describe things a little bit more here and there, you have quite a pleasant writing style that I enjoy very much.Though I feel in this chapter things get a little bit... unbelievable. The pace at which Blaine and Kurt move is a little too fast for my taste to make it feel right. They met, went on a date together and are already boyfriends? Wow... That moved fast... Maybe it's just me, but a slower pace feels more real and makes a story so much more enjoyable to read. To slowly see them discover the beauty of each other is an amazing thing to read, so this feels a bit rushed. I don't know if you have some sort of plot twist coming up, but it all feels a bit weird and uncomfortable now. Try to always set a believable time frame for things.But certainly never stop trying! And don't let my words get you down! I think your writing is very pleasant and you set up your characters nicely. It's incredibly cute, but I just don't like your pace. Maybe it's just me, maybe you should just practice more; I don't know. I just wanted to give you my opinion. It's up to you what you do with it, and if you do anything with it at all. :)
I appriecate your feedback I do. And it might seem strange that it was only one date but keep in mind it was one very long date. It wasn't like they just went out for a few hours and then became boyfriends, they went to coffee for hours, then had dinner and then fell asleep while watching a movie. The first date was approximately 12 hours. It was like three dates rolled into one.
i would love to see this happen on glee . i would laugh so hard ..... "Has she ever tried to give you the sex talk?" "No." Kurt replied wrinkling his brow wondering where this was going. "Then I'm going to win 'cause Niff did." "They tried to give you the sex talk?" "They even offered to demonstrate a few things." "Please tell me they were joking." "I have no idea I ran out of there as fast as I could just in case. I love them and all but I really don't want to see that."
