“Hey Blaine” said Kurt smiling, Blaine returned it half-heartedly, he was really nervous about today, about what he needed to tell Kurt and what his reaction would be, but he had to tell him.

“Hi Kurt…”

“What’s wrong Blaine, you’ve been dodging my calls, ignoring my texts and E-mails… Are you mad at me for something?”

“Oh, no I’m not mad at you” he said, shocked that Kurt thought anything of the sort, how could he ever be mad at Kurt.

“Then what is it? Did my dad say something? What did he say? Blaine…. please tell me.” Kurt pleaded, reaching across the table placing a hand on Blaine’s arm, the fire flared up under Blaine’s skin.

“Okay… well your dad did scare me a little” Blaine admitted. “He said that he knew people with guns and that I’d best not hurt you”

“Okay… you know I’m his only son and he’s very overprotective… why would he say that it’s not like we’re dating we’re just friends”

Oh, Blaine thought, Kurt thought we’re just friends maybe there’s no point in telling him it’ll break me if he says no, which if he really does think we’re just friends he would.

“Are we? Just friends I mean erm… Kurt… I’ve been thinking over these past few days…” said Blaine, really hoping he wouldn’t get shot down.

“Yeah” said Kurt with slight optimism in his voice that Blaine didn’t pick up.

Blaine had gone over and over in his head what he was going to say, it still didn’t stop him being nervous.

“Well we known each other for a long time and err… I’ve really got to know you, and well I think I’ve started to fall for you, it may seem like too soon, but I feel like I’ve known for all my life that you are the one for me… I’ve known since I first met you that you we’re special, that you came in to my life for a reason… and you helped me talk more about my parents… thank you for that, Kurt, I understand if you don’t feel the same” said Blaine eyes downcast, trying to avoid Kurt's gaze, he could bare to look in his eyes when he rejected him.

Kurt was silent for a moment. This silence unnerved Blaine, Kurt was going to reject him wasn’t he… he thought they were just friends…

“Blaine, I’ve known and trusted you for years” said Kurt taking Blaine's hand, causing him to look up, he looked in to Kurt's eyes “and you are special to me and over this past few weeks I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I’ve started to fall for you too… I just thought that you thought we were just friends…”

Blaine smiled, staring deeply in to Kurt, his now boyfriend’s blue eyes.

“So would you like to go out sometime like on a proper date?” said Blaine

“Sure” said Kurt shuffling round to hold Blaine’s hand and brush their knees against each other.

“You know, you still need to meet Nick, Jeff and Cooper, they are dying to see you…I talk about you a lot to them…”

“Yeah, if I’m meeting Nick, Jeff and Cooper, then you have to meet Rachel ‘Cedes and Tina, they are like my three best friends in glee club” Kurt smiled

The fact that they were now dating had little effect on their coffee date… except for the hand holding and the goodbye.

“Okay, I’ll call you later” said Kurt making to go to his car. When Blaine grabbed his arm and pulled him backward.

Blaine twirled Kurt around so he was facing him and looped his arms around his waist and pulled him closer. Kurt was slightly taller than Blaine so he had to crane his neck to look in to Kurt’s eyes, Kurt’s breath ghosted over his lips, his perfect red lips… He wanted this moment, his first kiss with Kurt, to be perfect, so he pressed a gentle kiss to Kurt’s nose, released his hold on Kurt’s waist and went to his car… leaving behind a dazed boyfriend.
