“Wow… you look…wow” said Blaine as he saw Kurt stood in his doorway as they were leaving Kurt’s to go to Breadstix.

“You don’t look half bad yourself.”

Blaine feigned offence “Hey, I spent ages picking this outfit out”

He had, he’d gone through his entire wardrobe twice… he needed his outfit to be perfect.

“And it looks adorable” Kurt said as Blaine walked him to his car and opened the door.

They spent the short car journey in to central Lima teasing Blaine's dress sense and talking about their Broadway favourites.

“Speaking of singing, have you done anymore lately…?” asked Blaine

“I’ve done some but it still reminds me of her… but now I can sing a whole song, one day when my dad was in hospital, I played and sung ‘Not Alone’…”

Blaine reached across and squeezed Kurt’s knee, he was so proud of Kurt.

“You’re getting closer…” said Blaine as they pulled up in the parking.

They took their booth and ordered their food. When they were waiting for dessert Blaine walked up to the mini stage.

“Hello everybody” said Blaine nervously, how would he announce Kurt? His boyfriend? No this was central Lima best not “My name is Blaine Anderson and I have a song I’d like to sing to someone very special here it is”

This was a perfect description of his beautiful boyfriend his blue eyes were so deep, Blaine could drown just glancing at them, he kept his eyes locked on Kurt’s, who cared about the stares he wanted Kurt to hear this… really hear this.

“Thank you for listening” He said then he walked back to their table. “So what did you think?”

“It was lovely as always Blaine… this is becoming a habit of yours isn’t it… singing to me?”

“What can I say? Singing to you makes me feel happy, you make me feel happy” said Blaine tucking in to the bowl of profiteroles they had to share. Kurt did make him very happy, he made him smile and without knowing it Kurt had helped Blaine through Tobias’ suicide and Sebastians betrayal… by just being there, someone to talk to someone to take his mind off things.

“You know I’ve been working on a song… by working I mean trying to sing without crying would you like to hear it?” said Kurt before delicately placing a profiterole in his mouth.

“Only if you’re ready Kurt, if it’s going to really upset you, then...”

“Blaine its fine” Kurt interrupted, with that he walked up to the stage… hips wiggling.

“Hi my name is Kurt Hummel, and I hope you don’t mind I also have a song for someone really special, they mean a lot to me… and helped me through everything… this is kind of a thank you, I really mean this and I hope they like it… also I apologise if I’m a bit rusty it’s been a few years since I sung solo”

The latter comment earned him a small laugh from the patrons of Breadstix. Then he began to sing.

Kurt’s voice really was stunning…Blaine was mesmerised, he loved the song and Kurt sung it so well. It was perfect… breathtakingly beautiful.

When he’d finished eyes shining with tears the whole of Breadstix were applauding him as he walked back to Blaine.

“That was beautiful” said Blaine, eyes glistening “Thank-you Kurt, come lets go…I want to tell you about Tobias, but I need Cooper okay? Let’s go back to my dorm and then either Cooper or I will drive you home…” his heart ached at the thought of remembering it all, again but Kurt should know.
