“Rachel. As much as I love that you’re so devoted into helping me buy the things off Carole’s list, I could have just come to Wal-Mart on the way home.” Kurt sulked. It was nearing midday and he had not consumed enough coffee for a stroll around the store.

“No, Carole asked for my help too, besides, shopping is fun!” she grinned, latching on to Kurt’s arm and dragging him down the aisle a little too eagerly.

“Shopping for clothes is fun Rach, clothes.” He remarked.

“What’s first on the list then?” His best friend asked, nudging his shoulder. Kurt scrolled down the list, mentally changing the order of the items to quicken the visit.

“Lettuce, Cucumber and spinach.” He replied, steering them down the groceries isle.
“So, have you been thinking about Finns proposal yet?” Said Kurt. He watched as Rachel’s eyes turned more serious, Kurt turned away to look through the selection of cucumbers while he waited for her answer.

“Hey Rachey! Hey Kurt, Dude!”

Both Kurt and Rachel turned around to see Jeff frantically waving at them from down the aisle, flanked by Nick and Blaine. They both smiled at their crazy blonde friend as he practically skipped towards them.

“Later.” Rachel whispered, quickly turning to face the guys. “Hey you guys! What are you doing here?” feigning surprise.

“Just grabbing some stuff for the dorm” Replied Nick, winking at Rachel while his boyfriend pulled Rachel and Kurt into a hug.

“Hey Kurt.” Blaine said smiling shyly, moving out from behind his fellow warblers. Nick, Jeff and Rachel grinned at each other, but neither of the two boys noticed.

“Hey there Blaine.” Kurt replied smoothly.

“Doing some shopping?” the shorter boy asked, glancing at the list in Kurt’s hand.

“Yeah, my step mum asked me to pick a few things up”

Blaine nodded and grinned happily. Why did talking to Kurt make him so happy?

“So… Are you guys doing anything today? Do you want to go get coffee with us?” Nick suggested.
“Yes! Coffee!” Kurt near enough shouted. His heart swelled at the mention of coffee, and he was smitten with the idea completely. The boys laughed at him, while Rachel shoved him slightly.

“Actually guys, we still have some stuff to get here…” Blaine’s smile faltered, he wanted to spend time with Kurt. “But we could meet you at the lima bean in an hour?” She continued. Blaine’s smile returned to his face.

************
Around an hour and a half later, Kurt, Rachel, Jeff, Nick, and Blaine we’re sat around a table in the lima bean. They we’re discussing glee clubs.

“Nude Erections?!” Jeff spluttered. “Are you being serious?”

“Jeff, Its New Directions..” Nick said teasingly, wiping up the coffee his boyfriend had spilled.
“Oh.” Jeff muttered quietly, blushing. The gang laughed.

“Well guys, me and Jeff are off to my parents.” Nick said, patting Jeff’s knee and standing up. “Jeff’s meeting them for the first time.” He followed, proudly.

“Oh! Could I get a ride? I’m supposed to be meeting Finn soon.” Rachel asked, shooting an apologetic look at Kurt for leaving him.

“Sure Rach.”

“Call me tonight Kurt?” Rachel almost demanded, collecting her bag and joining the boys.
“Of course Rachel.” Kurt smiled at her, keeping the alarmed feeling of spending time alone with Blaine to himself.

Rachel, Jeff and Nick left and Blaine smiled at Kurt nervously.

“I have a feeling they planned that, you know.” Blaine said grinning. “Not that I mind.”

“Me neither” Kurt returned bravely as Blaine got up to venture for more coffee.

************
When Blaine arrived back at the table he was carrying a plate full of sandwiches along with the coffee.

“Jamie gave us these; apparently I’m not the only one with a good taste of sandwich fillings.”
Kurt just laughed and glanced at his friend behind the counter, and gave her a little wave. She smirked at him in return and raised her eyebrows at the two boys suggestively. Kurt instantly felt a blush forming on his cheeks.

“So Kurt…” Blaine started with a playful smile. “I say we play twenty questions.”

“Are we five years old?” Kurt snorted.

“Awh come one, it will be fun.” Blaine replied, hopefully.

“Okay, Can I go first?” Blaine grinned at him and motioned with his arm to carry on. Kurt looked down at his coffee, swirling it round as he thought of a question. ‘Do you have a boyfriend’ and ‘why are you so beautiful’ didn’t seem appropriate at this moment in time. He could feel the other boy staring at him intently and settled on an easy question.

“What’s your favourite colour?”

“Nice question… and blue. Do you have any pets?”

Kurt laughed at his question. “No, I had a fish once though.”

“What was its name?” Blaine asked, smirking at Kurt.

“No, no, its my turn. What gel do you use?” Blaine threw his head back in laughter and Kurt smiled at his reaction.

“It’s called Dapper Dan.” Kurt laughed and Blaine just shook his head smiling.

“Now, what was that fish called?” Blaine prodded, crossing his arms and leaning across the table.

“Fish. I just called it Fish.”

Blaine chuckled. “You called your fish, fish?”

“I’ll admit, my eight year old self wasn’t that creative.”

“You don’t say...” Blaine responded playfully rolling his eyes at Kurt.

************
About an hour and a half later, Blaine was walking Kurt to his car in the parking lot with a huge smile on both their faces. Blaine loved spending time with Kurt, he was funny, interesting. He felt happy with Kurt, the boy made him happy. Kurt liked spending time with Blaine too, he was sure Blaine had been flirting with him today, he was sickeningly adorable.

Before Kurt could climb into his car, Blaine had pulled him into a quick hug which Kurt had returned. When they both separated from each other, Kurt was the first one to speak.

“Thanks for today, I had a good time” Blaine blushed at his, his hand creeping up to scratch the back of his neck. But that didn’t stop him from grinning,

“Me to, we should do this again.” Kurt nodded at him. “Um, so I’ll see you later then?” he added, reaching up to touch Kurt’s upper arm.

“Yeah, I’ll see you soon”

With that, Kurt got in his car and drove home to call Rachel and gush about his day, and Blaine walked to his car which was parked down the road.

************

As Blaine got into his car his mind wondered back to the long, easy, conversation he had with Kurt. It felt nice and welcoming; he enjoyed how easy it was to talk him. He felt like he could trust Kurt, like, Kurt understood him in a way that no-one, not even Logan ever did.
