As the boys packed their bags and walked out the classroom –without dropping anything this time – Kurt felt he was becoming more nervous with every step he took. He didn’t know why, actually. He was just going to walk around the school with this absolutely gorgeous gay guy, it wasn’t like he was going to lose his virginity to him or something.

He wouldn’t mind if something like that happened, though.

Focus, Kurt! You’re just going to walk around. You’re not even going to hold hands or anything…

“So, let’s explore the school than, shall we?” Interrupted Blaine his thoughts. Kurt looked at Blaine and smiled while sliding his hand through his perfectly fixed hair. “Sure,” answered Kurt.

Blaine led the way as they walked through the hallways. “So, here do we have the library. Of course, when we go in we have to be quiet, so I can’t tell you too much about the details.”

“Let’s enter anyways,” replied Kurt. “I’d like to know where I can find the books I might have to read in the future.” Kurt walked into the library with a confident pace, leaving Blaine no choice but to follow.

Blaine didn’t mind though. The moment he saw Kurt walk into the classroom during History he knew they’d become friends. Or even more. Okay, let’s not get ahead of things. But Blaine found out Kurt was unique and he loved his sense of humor. And let’s not forget the fact that he was gay. Blaine likes to call that progress, even if they would never become anything more than friends.

Blaine watched Kurt observing his surroundings. He noticed Kurt tilted his head and squeezed his eyes when he was looking close at something. Blaine thought it was adorable. Blaine walked up behind Kurt and without touching him he whispered in his ear: “Wait here, I’ll see if I can find my favorite novel for you.” While walking away, Blaine brushed his hand against Kurt’s shoulder. He didn’t really know why he did it. Maybe it was just a reflex.

Kurt started to blush. Blaine brushed his hand against his shoulder. Did he do it on purpose? He didn’t know, but what he did know was that he’d be very surprised if his tummy would still be working properly after this day. His eyes went across the books, but he couldn’t focus on the titles anymore. His thoughts were at the novel Blaine was getting. If it was ‘Romeo and Juliet’ he decided meeting Blaine was fate and he would do anything to become his boyfriend.

Not like he wouldn’t already.

Blaine returned, childishly holding the book behind his back. He was smiling, but there was also something else in his face. Kurt couldn’t put his finger on what it was. “Okay, now you have to promise me you won’t laugh, it’s kind of cliché but…”

Ah, so it’s shame.

“I promise. I mean, I can’t judge you considering my favorite novel is ‘Romeo and Juliet’. There’s no way you can top that regarding the cliché-rate.”

Blaine’s mouth dropped and closed again. He pulled the book from behind his back and opened his mouth again to say something, but then he realized only showing the novel would say enough. Kurt’s eyes widened and he began to smile.

“Two households, both alike in dignity…”

“In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…”

The two boys looked at each other and knew this was more than friendship. Instinctively Kurt moved closer to Blaine. They were only a few inches away from each other, a few inches away from touching each other. They looked each other right in the eyes. Kurt’s eyes slid off to look at Blaine’s lips.

What a surprise, his lips are a gift by the gods as well. If only I knew how they taste…

Kurt moved even closer. Blaine didn’t move away, but he only whispered softly to Kurt: “Let’s continue our tour… shall we?” Kurt nodded and moved slowly away from Blaine, still dwelling in ecstasy.

They walked out of the library. It was weird though. The mood hadn’t changed because they had been only an inch away from kissing – it wasn’t awkward or anything. However, it was weird because Kurt could have sworn they walked closer to each other. He was sure that if he’s moved his arm a bit sideways, he would touch Blaine.

After a half an hour or so Blaine was finished showing Kurt the entire school. He checked his pocket watch and his face became… shocked.

“Darn it, I’m almost too late for rehearsal! Come on!” said Blaine as he grabbed Kurt’s hand. Blaine started to run, dragging Kurt behind him. Kurt couldn’t think straight anymore from the moment Blaine touched him. They were running through the hallways, and Kurt didn’t even know exactly where they were heading. But it didn’t matter, because in he was running hand in hand with the prettiest boy he had ever met, and in his head he heard piano music and everything was in slow-motion. Kurt’s heart melted when Blaine glanced back at him with his amazing smile.

At last they arrived in a crowded room. Kurt looked confused. “What’s going on in here?”

Blaine put one of his hands on Kurt’s shoulder and smiled secretly.

“Just… just stand here and listen, okay?” Blaine patted Kurt on the shoulder, winked and walked away.

Kurt felt rather awkward, standing there alone. He didn’t know anyone else but Blaine yet, so he just did what Blaine told him to do. He stood and listened. He heard… a sort of humming. A group of guys assembled in the centre of the room, the other students creating a circle around them. A beat kicked in and Blaine opened his mouth to sing.

Before you met me, I was alright but things

were kinda heavy, you brought me to life, now

every February, I’ll be your Valentine, Valentine.

Kurt’s mouth fell open as well.

My god. Just when I thought he couldn’t become any more perfect…

Blaine was absolutely amazing. His voice was deep and warm, and it fitted perfectly to the song. With ease he belted out all the higher notes. It wasn’t until the end of the song that Kurt noticed that the other boys were providing the music instead of a CD. They were beat-boxing or something, Kurt didn’t know what it was but it sounded amazing. It sounded like the music was made by instruments instead of voiced. But there was one voice that was the most perfect of them all.

Blaine’s voice.

The last note faded away and an enormous applause rose up from the crowd. Well, this was rather new to Kurt. The only thing the New Directions could expect was a slushie thrown in their faces. But over here at Dalton, the Glee club was rewarded like heroes.

“So, what did you think?” Blaine walked shyly over to Kurt. Kurt was still trembling all over.

“I... It was… I mean… Wow.”

Stupid nerves!

Kurt took a deep breath and sighed. Blaine’s face was turning insecure. He raised one of his eyebrows as if he was still waiting for an answer. “You mean you… liked it?”

Don’t be so stupid and just say what’s on your mind! You have to give your opinion about his performance, you don’t have to tell him what you think of his dick!

“I loved it. You were amazing. I didn’t know you were so talented. And that’s a huge compliment, coming from me.” Kurt was relieved he said it, but he didn’t want Blaine to notice it so he wiggled his eyebrows defiantly.

Blaine’s eyes widened and his eyebrows popped way up to his hairline. “And who may you be, a judge on sectionals?” A playful smile appeared on his face.

“Hmpf!” Kurt threw his head back. “If you buy me a coffee I’ll show you how why I can get away with saying things like that.” It was out before he knew it. Immediately his face turned red.

Gosh, stupid brain! What if he thinks I’m flirting with him and just asked him out on a date? I’ll only push him away with that! This will be something I will never be able to forgive myself for.

Blaine looked down and chuckled. While he looked up, he said: “I think we have a deal then.” He reached out his hand to shake Kurt’s to make it official. Kurt began to feel warm from the inside. He grabbed Blaine’s hand and shook it. Blaine sent Kurt a loving smile and said: “I know a nice coffee shop in the neighborhood. Do you want to go right away?”

Kurt felt intensely happy. How could such a stupid comment of his turn out to be so… good?

“Yeah, sure. I’ll drive.” Kurt smiled at Blaine.

Blaine had never seen such a beautiful smile. He knew he liked Kurt now. He already knew that. He liked him even more now he had asked him out on a date. Well, maybe it wasn’t a date, but it was a great opportunity to get to know each other a bit more. And apparently, Kurt also had a passion for music. There was so much they had in common. Blaine didn’t know how this would develop, but he did now that he wanted to do everything to spend more time with Kurt. This boy, with his soft pale skin, blue eyes, perfectly styled hair, crazy sense of humor and – so it seemed – a love for music was unlike any other boy Blaine had ever met. Kurt was so… unique.

And Blaine knew he didn’t want Kurt any other way.
