Hearing the bell from the opening door, Blaine had looked up from the table and caught Kurt’s eye.

The smiles on both their faces couldn’t be any bigger.

“Kurt!” Blaine jumped of his seat to give the taller boy a hug as soon as he was in reach of the table.

“Hey” Kurt replied, blushing at Blaine’s affection in the busy coffee shop. Both boys sat down and Blaine slid Kurt’s coffee towards him, earning thanks.

“How was your day?”

“It was okay, How was yours?” Kurt replied, slinging his bag under the table.

“It was good! Jeff was really hyper all day and the teachers we’re getting stressed at him and he had this weird come down after lunch, it was like he was on drugs, but come on. It’s Jeff. Nick thinks he had too much coffee, he’s probably right. But yeah today was good...I’ve missed you though.”

“I missed you too” Kurt replied. “And that sounds like Jeff.”

Blaine just nodded at him, smiling like an idiot.

“I have a rough draft of that essay i was talking about, it’s not in French yet, but could you... Would you like to take a look at it?”

“Of course, Blaine.” Kurt put down his coffee cup while the other boy plucked his essay from his bag and handed it to Kurt. Watching carefully as Kurt’s eyes followed the words on the paper.

There are a lot of reasons to be inspired by someone, maybe they raised millions for charity, and maybe they worked their way up the career ladder from rock bottom. Maybe they’re your favourite celebrity, staring in all the latest films, Maybe they’ve overcome so much in their life it hurts to think about.

For me, I’m not going to be writing about Bill Gates or George Clooney, no matter how much i am inspired by them. Sure, Bill’s hard work literally paid off, and I admire George and his famous, yet still very much himself ways, but there is someone far more important that I aspire to be like, his name is Kurt Hummel.

I may not have known him long, but he makes me want to be a better person, but I do not strive to be him. For if I was to be him I wouldn’t have been graced with the honour of him becoming my closest friend. He’s kind, loving and the most amazing person I have ever met. And although some people may perceive me as being na�ve, that’s all it takes for a person to inspire me. Kurt is everything that is good.

“Blaine... This... Thank you.” Kurt says, spluttering. Blaine just looks at him intently, smiling.

“You’re welcome.”

The boys were sat on Blaine’s bed, watching the closing credits to the harry potter film they had just finished which Blaine was hugely impressed with.

“..And Mrs Weasley! God damn, she is the coolest person ever.” He said, waving his arms for effect. Kurt chuckled at his eagerness.

“I guess she’s pretty cool. Nothing on Neville though.”

“I think somebody has a crush on Mr Puberty-Got-Me-Good!” Blaine sang, poking Kurt in the ribs.

“Blaine! That’s ticklish!” Kurt shouted between laughing.

“Admit you have a crush on him.” Blaine teased, moving his hands to tickle across the other boy’s chest, which only made him laugh harder.

Kurt shook his head, still giggling away while Blaine climbed almost on top of him.

“Admit it and I’ll stop it, Kurt.” Blaine said, a grin spreading across his face. Kurt noticed the closeness of Blaine and took in a breath. Blaine, the oblivious fool he was, continued. His hands draping over Kurt’s arms and tickling non-stop.

Then they sneaked their way under Kurt’s arm and the older boy couldn’t help but throw his head back in laughter, forgetting about the closeness of his crush for a few minutes. Blaine eventually joined in with the chuckling when Kurt tried to fight him off, pushing at his chest.

That’s when Blaine noticed, he stopped smiling and the two boys were left staring at each other awkwardly before Blaine rolled of Kurt and lay next to him. It was silence other than them catching their breath.

A few minutes passed before either of them said anything.

“… I think you’d be in Slytherin, kurt.” Blaine muttered. Kurt huffed out a laugh.

“You’d be in Gryffindor.”

“But then we’d be arch enemies and never get to hang out!” Blaine protested, turning onto his side, glad Kurt wasn’t affected by the ‘tickle’ incident.

“Exactly.” Kurt said with a smirk.

“I don’t think so Hummel, we’d pull a Romeo and Juliet.”

“I would be Juliet, right?”

“You can be whoever you want to be.” Blaine said with a smile. Kurt smiled back and checked his phone, scowling at the time displayed upon it.

“It’s late, I have to set off or my dad will go crazy.”

Blaine sighed and sat up, reaching for his shoes.

“I’ll walk you down.”

Blaine shut the door to his room and walked Kurt down the hall, their arms brushing together. That’s when Jeff practically jumped out of his room.

“Hey Blaine. Oh hey Kurt! What’re you doing here?”

“And a wild Jeff appears…” Blaine muttered quietly with a roll of his eyes.

Kurt nudged him, giving him a disapproving stare.

“I was just watching a movie with Blaine.”

“And you didn’t invite me?” Jeff asked, almost heart broken.

“We forgot, Sorry Jeff.” Blaine glared at him, motioning for him to go with a shake of his head.

Jeff seemed to understand and winked at the two of them.

“It’s okay! I hope you guys had fun. I’ll see you soon Kurt.” He said playfully, reaching over and hugging Kurt. “Blaine, Come see us when you come back up.”

Blaine nodded and steered Kurt out to where his car was parked, holding the door open for him while he got in.

“That was fun, thank you for coming over and putting up with my love for all things potter.”

“No, thank you for letting me come join you.” Kurt replied. Blaine smiled at him and closed his door, and Kurt rolled the window down.

“I really better go. I’m already going to be late.”

Blaine hesitated, miserable at the fact Kurt was already in the car so he couldn’t give him a goodbye hug. He settled for a squeeze on the arm.

“Okay, drive safely and text me when you’re home. I’ll see you, Kurt”

Kurt nodded and said his goodbye, driving off and leaving Blaine stood in the parking lot, dreading the long interrogation he knew he was going to be getting of Jeff and Nick when he returned up stairs.
