The extra few days did nothing for Kurt’s nerves. He was about to meet the boy who had comforted him nine years ago, and had e-mail conversations and phone calls… since it wasn’t s school day Kurt was on the lookout for a boy in a white cricket jumper and a straw hat. Kurt was wearing his favourite skinny jeans and his red form-fitting sweater that stopped just above the knee.

Kurt entered the Lima Bean, he allowed the rich scent of coffee to fill his lungs as he scanned the shop, it wasn’t that full so it was easy to spot Blaine, Kurt went to buy his coffee and walked over to Blaine.

“Hi, is this seat taken” said Kurt, causing the other boy to look up from the phone that he was staring intently at.

“Actually, I was wa-” Blaine stared at Kurt, looking into his eyes “Hello Kurt.” he said

“Hi! How did you know it was me?” he said as he sat down at the table opposite Blaine.

“I remembered your eyes… they’re really blue.”

“Yeah… I have my mother’s eyes” said Kurt with a sigh.

“So how’s your dad doing?”

“He’s doing better, still unconscious. Okay now I need to tell you something, as I said it better to tell you in person… you know how I said things are awkward between me and Finn since Freshman year?”

“Yeah…”

“Well, it was kinda because I had a huge crush on him… I’m gay…” said Kurt slowly watching Blaine closely. “I needed to tell you just because I know most people in Lima aren’t as open minded as my dad or the members of my Glee Club… and I just want to be myself to you.”

“Okay, wow must be awkward him half living with you now then”

“Yeah, it must be… I mean it is” said Kurt, slightly confused about Blaine’s reaction.

“You sound puzzled what’s wrong?”

“You just seem so calm about the fact that I’m gay that’s all, I’ve not meant many people so cool with it seriously I literally know twenty three people who are”

“Well since we are sharing things… I’m gay too” said Blaine a smile tugging at his lips.

“Ah that makes sense, in terms of your reaction I mean…” he said, tying not the let this small triumph come across in his voice, Blaine was gay this was a first for him… having a crush on a guy who is actually gay.

“Yeah, now that we’ve got that out of the way, what would you like to talk about?”

“Erm… how are we planning to get to Pigfarts for Herman and Draco’s wedding?”

“By rocket ship of course Mr Hummel… do you have your spacesuit, cause remember you have to wear it all the time because there’s no atmosphere on mars”

“Of course I do, and remember we have to be good so we can ride around on Rumbleroar’s back”

They both collapsed into fits of laughter earning them so weird looks from other patrons of the coffee shop. They spent the rest of the afternoon quoting Starkid; Kurt had watched everything they’d done from Little White Lie to Holy Musical B@man. They had fun, they were still laughing when they were leaving.

“Hey Kurt, can we make this a weekly thing… I had fun today… Nick and Jeff won’t watch Starkid, I don’t know why, its hilarious.” said Blaine.

“Yeah I’d like that” said Kurt beaming “I like spending time with you, it’s a nice way to distract myself from my dad at the moment.”

Blaine gave him a tight hug. Kurt liked it, maybe a little too much… for someone he’d only really met twice Blaine was having a real influence on him, when he spent time with him all Kurt wanted to do was kiss those perfect lips. This was dangerous territory… he didn’t know how Blaine felt about him, he probably only saw them as friends.
