Author's Notes: Enjoy, oh BTW I don't own anything pertaining to Glee, unfortunately.
Kurt woke up the happiest he has ever been in a while. At first he didn’t know why then the events of the previous night came rushing back. He remembered Blaine sending him a picture to put along with his name in his contacts. Just to make sure he wasn’t dreaming, Kurt checked his phone and yep, last night definitely happened, making the smile on his face a permanent feature for the morning.

He walked into his aunt’s kitchen with a little hop in step, not going unnoticed by everyone. “Well someone had a good night I see” Kalee, their aunt said while raising her eyebrows suggestively. Kurt just rolled his eyes and put two pancakes on his plate and then filled a bowl with fruit.

“So are you going to tell us about your night or no?” his aunt asked. “Or no” Kurt replied as he continued eating with a smirk on his face. “Well are you going to see him again?” She pestered. “Probably I mean I was planning on taking the little ones to the beach and he is a lifeguard there” Kurt shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.

After breakfast he asked his cousins to go the beach but they declined, they decided to go to Disney World for a few days with one of their mutual friends. Kurt didn’t want to go the beach by himself without a reason so he opted for sitting at home and reading the few magazines he bought at the store three days ago.

Finn was like an annoying pest when stuck inside, he was either eating, sleeping or hogging the television. Finn was slowly making Kurt go crazy causing Kurt to have to take matters into his own hands. He got dressed in a pair of basketball shorts, a V-neck shirt, and tennis shoes, grabbed his iPod and headed out the door.

“Dude where are you going?” Finn asked from the couch. “I am going to go for a run at the park, and NO, you can’t come with.” Kurt closed the door and instead of driving the five minutes to the park, he decided to run.

Once at the park he found a nice lake to run around and when he read the marks on the ground he saw that two times around equaled one mile he concluded that six times around would be good enough for the day. On his third time around he saw what he thought was a familiar head of curly brown hair start a run. Kurt wasn’t sure if it was really him but he quickened his pace just slightly so he could slowly catch up to the man.

Once Kurt was ten paces behind the curly headed man he noticed that it was in fact exactly whom he had thought it was. Blaine. He quickened his pace again and caught up to him. Kurt saw that he was also listening to his iPod and just ran next to him until he would look over. Every few seconds for what seemed like forever, Kurt would look over and smile. Blaine finally looked over, probably wondering what the hell the stranger next to him thought he was doing.

When he looked over and saw that is was Kurt he stopped in his tracks. Kurt ran ahead and waited for Blaine to catch up. Once he did Blaine just smiled at him and took his ear buds out. “Fancy seeing you here” Blaine spoke up. “I was surprised to see your curly hair when I came around the last bend. I thought someone like you would rather run at the beach.” Kurt slowed his pace a bit so they could run and talk without being out of breath. “Well I try not to go to the beach when it’s my day off. If I am spotted they usually try to rope me into taking over a shift and I just don’t feel like it today.” Blaine shrugged his shoulders and continued running. “Well I am about half way done with my run, and then I was just going to hang out here for a while, would you like to join me when you are done?” Kurt smiled and tried not to pass out from holding his breath while running.

“Sure, I would love to” Blaine said, smiled and returned his ear buds to his ears. Kurt smiled and put his back in as well. They ran side by side listening to music for another half hour while Kurt finished his run. Kurt waved and walked over to the swings, chugging his water and wiping the sweat from his forehead. Another thirty minutes or so and Blaine joined him, lifting the bottom of his shirt to wipe his face.

Kurt couldn’t take his eyes off the very well defines muscles of Blaine’s torso, he figured he would never get use to the ungodly body that boy hid under his cloths. He saw the way the muscles contracted and relaxed with Blaine’s heavy breathing and the way a few drops of sweat ran straight down the middle, dripping to the ground when it hit his belly button. He also couldn’t help but notice that in an effort to cool off faster, Blaine had simply removed his shirt entirely.

“So how was the rest of your run?” Kurt said, taking his time before speaking to make sure his voice didn’t betray him and come out shaky. “It was alright, the view wasn’t as great as the first half though” Blaine winked and took the swing next to Kurt. He blushed at that comment and turned his head, not wanting Blaine to make fun of him.

“I have been thinking, we should hang out again, just the two of us this time, and not at the beach.” Blaine looked down at the mulch surrounding the playground and started to kick a few pieces around. “Sure, what did you have in mind?” Kurt said looking straight at Blaine and couldn’t keep the smile off his face.

“Well if I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?” Blaine giggled, making Kurt’s smile widen even more, if it was even possible. “Well can you at least tell me the type of clothing I should wear? I need to make sure it’s appropriate for these events you are planning.” Kurt laughed and started to push off the ground, trying to make the swing go higher. “Well you can just wear swim trunks and a tank stop since we are going to be outside for most of it.” Blaine said as he continued to kick his legs, unsuccessfully getting as high as Kurt.

“Don’t hurt yourself, your little hobbit legs will never forgive you.” Blaine just huffed and acted annoyed. “I’m not that short!” Blaine stated as he crossed his arms, jutting out his lower lip. “Oh you really are though, I am surprised they even allow you on the big kid playground” Kurt was trying his hardest to hold back a laugh, having way too much fun with this. “That’s not very nice! I will have you know, I am not the shortest of my friends.” Blaine threw his nose up in the air and stomped over to the watering fountain. Kurt stopped his swing and walked over to him. “Are you really mad at me? You know I was joking, you are only like an inch or two shorter than me” Kurt leant down a little “and to be honest, I have always had a thing for shorter guys.” Kurt whispered the last part in Blaine’s ear.

Kurt took a step back and then turned to walk away. “Text me about hanging out Blaine, I will see you later” he said as he waved, broke out into a run and was gone. Blaine thought he had dreamt the entire day, he smiled softly to himself after pinching to his arm and realizing that it was real.

Blaine stayed at the park a while longer, just watching the different types of people that passed by and planning the date he was taking Kurt on. Wait was it a date? What if Kurt doesn’t want it to be a date? What if he just wants to be friends, WHAT IF! His thoughts were getting the best of him and making him rethink the entire plan.

0o0o0o0o

Kurt felt as if he had floated home, his smile never leaving his face. He walked into the door, to be greeted by Finn who claimed he was bored and hungry. “How could you possibly be hungry, you have done nothing but eat all day.” Kurt rolled his eyes and tried to shimmy past Finn so he could go take a shower. “Well I haven’t eaten since you left, and that was like three hours ago dude.” Finn rubbed the back of his neck, giving Kurt the puppy dog eye he knew he could never refuse.

He let out a sigh when he saw that Kurt’s expression went from annoyance to the look he got when he gave in. “Fine! Just give me half an hour to shower and then I will make you something since Aunt Kalee is at work tonight.” Finn moved aside, knowing the faster Kurt got in the shower, the faster he would get to eat. “Oh by the way, we are going to the beach tomorrow, whether you like it or not” Kurt told Finn giving him one last smile before turning into the bathroom.

That night they enjoyed some brotherly bonding time as they ate the almond crusted chicken Kurt made, along with some cupcakes, and watched movies. Content to just sit in silence and watch the stories play out on the television screen.

At 5AM Kurt was banging on Finn’s door, trying to wake him up so they could see the sunrise since it was supposed to be absolutely stunning. At 5:15 when he still couldn’t get Finn to wake up, Kurt gave up, posted a note on his door and headed to the beach alone.

When he arrived he went straight to the lifeguard tower, climbed the ramp and sat on the deck, feet dangling off the edge, just like when he was sitting with Blaine, eating the brownies. Not even ten minutes later Kurt heard someone come out of the building and when he looked up a smile automatically appeared on his face.

“Hey stranger!” Kurt snickered “Didn’t expect to see you here.” Blaine said, took a seat next to Kurt and looked out at the ocean. They sat just listening to the waves crash on the shore, watching as the planet slowly rose awake, never saying one word to each other until Blaine broke the silence.

“The sunrise is my favorite part of the day. Everything is so calm; untouched, and utterly perfect. No one is rushing around, everything is at peace and all problems have been put on hold as the sun slowly wakes everything up. The colors making the sky look like a picture you would only see in a book or on the Internet and the earth is still innocent for that day. Whenever I was having troubles with bullies, my mom would wake me up early and we would come sit out here and just watch the sunrise. It made that day at school just a little more bearable giving me a reason to go on.” Kurt looked over at Blaine and smiled at him with a look of complete adoration etched on his face.

Of course Blaine didn’t notice this; his eyes were closed as he soaked up the warmth of the rising sun, washing his soul and letting him start over again. Blaine sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

“Wow, that was beautiful, I never saw it as more than pretty colors that came around every morning.” Blaine just smiled at the comment and turned to face Kurt. Their eyes locked and it was like time stood still. Kurt could have sworn he saw Blaine lean just a fraction of an inch closer before breaking eye contact and turning back to the ocean.

Kurt felt rejected but tried not to look to deep into it and smiled because Blaine was turning out to be even more perfect every time they talked. Once they heard the seagulls start to wake and squawk above they decided they should head out.

“So can I expect to see you later today when Finn and I come back to the beach?” Kurt tried not to sound to hopeful when he asked, but of course that didn’t work. “Actually, you won’t. I am off again today and my older brother Cooper is in town and I am spending the day with him.” Blaine had a hint of disappointment in his voice, hating having to turn down an opportunity to see Kurt in swim trunks. “Oh, then I shall see you whenever you decide this hang out will take place.” Kurt stepped forward to give Blaine a hug.

They held on for longer than was normal, reveling in the way they fit together perfectly. Blaine was the first one to pull away. As he untangled himself from Kurt he smiled and said. “So tomorrow, I have the day off and we are going to spend it together, if that’s alright with you.” He smirked, knowing full well that Kurt would have no problem with it.

“Of course, I will see you tomorrow Blaine.” Kurt waved and drove away. Blaine didn’t head towards his car until Kurt’s jeep was out of sight.

Blaine returned home and woke Cooper up so they could make the drive to Vero Beach to visit their mother like they do every year for her birthday. It’s a two and a half hour drive without stopping to use the restroom or for food.

Surprisingly when Blaine walked into the house he was greeted with the smell of banana nut pancakes and bacon. He knew his father couldn’t cook so it had to be none other than his older brother.

“Hey Blainers, someone seems to have had a good morning.” Blaine just smiled and sat down at the island and let Cooper fix him a plate. “Are you going to tell me who it is or am I going to have to bug you the entire trip.” Cooper stuffed a piece of bacon in his mouth and eyed Blaine up and down. “I have no idea what you are talking about.” Blaine smiled, but tried to cover it up by taking a sip of his milk. “Sure you don’t B, why don’t you just tell me his name and how long you have been dating.” He raised his eyebrows, daring Blaine not to answer again.

“His name is Kurt and we aren’t dating, I have only hung out with him like twice” Blaine made sure to stuff so much food into his mouth he wouldn’t be able to answer any more questions for at least a few extra seconds. “Ok B, so when are you seeing him next?”

“Well we are actually hanging out tomorrow, if you must know.” Cooper pumped his fist into the air. “Finally my little Blainers is going to get himself a boyfriend, and one that is hopefully his age and doesn’t work at the Gap.” He chuckled to himself, and it grew into a full-fledged laugh attack when he saw Blaine’s expression of annoyance.

Once they finished their breakfast and Cooper stopped pestering Blaine they left for Vero Beach.

Hey, what time are we hanging out tomorrow? –K
Um, I was thinking about picking you up at around 11am. -B
Sounds good, I’ll see you tomorrow, have fun with your brother. -K
Thanks, have a good day Kurt. -B

For some reason those few short messages made this visit to his mom a little more bearable than past visits.

Once the two returned home Blaine immediately went to his room and went to bed, but not without sending Kurt a message telling him what to wear. Kurt replied with a smiley and after a rough day, Blaine fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Despite Blaine not being there, Kurt spent the day relaxing at the beach with Finn as planned. He finished 1984 and got to watch Finn strike out with 3 different girls in less than an hour. For him it was quite an amusing day, but didn’t even come close to starting his day watching the sunrise with Blaine. It had been serene and utterly romantic, perfect in Kurt’s eyes. He fell asleep with a smile on his face, excited for the following day’s activities.

Blaine woke the next morning with a smile on his face, singing and dancing around his room to Katy Perry while getting ready. Blaine went with simple lime green swim trunks, a black tank top and sunglasses. Blaine left his hair curly. One final look in the mirror as he headed out the door.

Kurt was finalizing his hair when he received a call from Blaine.

“Hello?”

“Hey Kurt, so I got into my car and I realized I never asked you for your address”

“Oh well let me give you that”

Kurt gave him his address and a mere fifteen minutes later Blaine was knocking on the front door.

“Bye Finn, see you later.” Kurt grabbed his wallet and headed out the door.

“Wow, your car is…WOW!” Kurt couldn’t find any other adjective that described the beauty in front of him. “I can’t believe you have a 1967 Shelby GT. I tried to get my dad to rebuild this junker we saw for sale but he just bought me a Navigator instead.” Kurt was openly gawking at the gorgeous charcoal gray Mustang. It had Black racing stripes, 2 mufflers, and a hood exhaust. Blaine explained it had a 5.2L V10 engine that he and his brother had just installed a few months back.

Kurt was visibly drooling at this point. He started at the front and made his way to the back, running his hand delicately over the car, coming up with fifty different ways to carjack Blaine right at that moment. “You wanna drive it?” that snapped Kurt out of his trance.

“No, I could never. I don’t want to be the one that breaks it.” Kurt shook his head from side to side to emphasize his answer. “You won’t break it, unless you can’t drive stick, but I feel like you know how.” Blaine said and held the keys out for Kurt to take. “No I can’t maybe on the way back.” Kurt headed for the passenger side door, but before he could get there, Blaine interfered and opened the door for him.

“Oh, thank you” Kurt blushed and got in the car. The charcoal gray and black interior was just as nice as the exterior. The stick shift was the only color in the car, standing out in a bright purple, along with the stitching on the seats. Once Kurt wiped the drool off his chin they were off to part on their day together.

“Where are we going?” Kurt inquired as he turned the music down a little so they could talk. “It’s a surprise, but they have the best food this side of town.” They sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Kurt’s curiosity got the best of him.

“Where did you get this car?” Kurt blurted out. Blaine let out a loud sigh causing Kurt to think that he was being too intrusive for a first date. “My dad got it as a junker for me and my brother Cooper to fix up for my fifteenth birthday. He thought it would be a good way for us to bond before Coop left for college. The only reason I know even a small amount about cars is because we had to build this car from the ground up by ourselves.”

Kurt was both impressed and completely jealous of Blaine in that moment. “I am so jealous of you to be honest. I have always wanted to build a car from the ground up, especially a beauty like this.” Kurt sank back in the seat and looked out the window with a dreamy look on his face. “I’m surprised; I would have never taken you for someone who was that into cars.” Blaine looked over at Kurt, images of him covered in grease under the hood of car, flashing before his eyes.

“Yes well after my mom died, it was just my dad and I, working in his garage was the only way for us to bond for a while. I worked in his garage so often as a kid I could put an engine together before I could do algebra. I used to work in my father’s garage every summer up until now. I actually kind of miss it. It was a way for me to relax, clear my head when singing just wasn’t cutting it.” Kurt shrugged his shoulders and look out the window.

Blaine realized there was more to Kurt then met the eye. He turned back the road and concentrated on driving. They reached the caf� not long after. Once seated Kurt took out the menu and was surprised at the wide variety they had. “Wow, they sure do have a lot to choose from.” He was so absorbed in trying to decide what to order, he was completely ignoring Blaine.

“Oh my gosh, I am so sorry, I was so caught up in trying to order, I completely spaced out.” Kurt was blushing and trying to apologize over and over again.

“It’s ok Kurt, it didn’t bother me at all. You look cute when you are concentrating. Your brow furrows and you poke your tongue out just the slightest bit. It’s quite adorable.” Kurt blushed at this and ducked his head. The waitress picked that exact moment to interrupt, letting Kurt get away with not responding.

“Hi, what can I get you guys to drink?” A girl about their age asked while pulling out a notepad. “Hi, can I get a sweet tea with lemon to drink and the buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries please?” Blaine said, handing the girl his menu. “Sure thing, and for you?” She replied. “Um I will have a diet coke and the veggie Panini with the cheddar broccoli soup please.” Kurt smiled and handed her the menu. “Sure thing, I will put your order in and be right back with your drinks” She smiled once more and left them alone to talk.

“What’s your favorite musical?” Kurt questioned. “Book of Mormon is really great, so is How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. I like classics like Wicked and Rent as well.” Kurt smiled at Blaine’s response and went on a spiel of why Wicked was the best musical of all time. Blaine couldn’t help but smile at how invested Kurt seemed.

“I mean I haven’t gotten to see it live on Broadway, but I have seen it eight times on Broadway Across America.” Kurt sighed and dreamily thought of finally getting to see Wicked, WICKED, on Broadway. “I’ve seen it on Broadway once, a few months back when I went to New York for my Senior Trip.” Blaine took a sip of his drink the waitress brought. Blaine noticed the complete look of jealousy all over Kurt’s face and had to chuckle lightly, which he covered up with a cough.

The waitress brought over their food and effectively cut off the conversation except for comments about the food or Kurt trying to figure out what the rest of the day entailed.

“Oh wow, this is the best Panini I have ever eaten.” Kurt said and stuffed another bite into his mouth. Blaine just laughed and continued eating. Once they had cleaned off their plates the waitress returned. “Can I get you guys anything for dessert?” She smiled and looked between the two boys. “Um actually you can. May we please have one Molten Oreo lava cake please?” Blaine asked, giving her his mega watt smile. She nodded and head off to get the dessert. “I can’t eat that Blaine, do you have any idea how many calories are in that thing? Not to mention I already ate enough for an entire day with this one meal.” Kurt leant back in the booth and rubbed his stomach.

“Oh you will be fine. And besides, it’s the most delicious dessert you will ever have. I can promise you that. Just one bite is all I am asking of you.” Blaine winked and gave Kurt a saucy smile. Kurt just hummed and waited for it to arrive.

When it did Kurt’s eyes almost bugged out of his head. It looked like it could feed 6 very hungry kids. “Blaine this is ginormous!” Blaine laughed and handed Kurt a spoon. “Dig in” Blaine replied.

Kurt took one bite and his eyes lit up. He loud out a moan and went back in for another bite. “Oh no, you said you didn’t want any, the rest is mine.” Blaine started to pull the plate towards him but Kurt caught it and returned it to the middle, devouring just over half of it. “So I take it you liked it?” Blaine chuckled and Kurt nodded his head and blushed again.

The waitress came back a few minutes later with the check. Kurt went to pull out his wallet but Blaine put a stop to that immediately. “No, I am the one who asked to hang out so I am the one that pays.” Blaine laid down his debit card without another word. “Well fine, then I will just have to pay for the next thing we do.” Kurt put his wallet away and smiled. No one has ever offered to pay for him, even among his friends.

Blaine just agreed even though he had no intention of letting Kurt pay for anything that day. Once the bill was paid and Kurt laid down five dollars for a tip they made their way back to Blaine’s car. “You want to drive it now?” Blaine held the keys out to Kurt again. Kurt just shook his head and got into the passenger seat.

“Where are we off to next?” Kurt asked. “Just a little place called Pirate’s Island.” Kurt tilted his head to the side at that answer. “And just what kind of place is that?” he wondered out loud. “Just one of the most clich� date places of all time.” Blaine answered. Kurt’s mind unsuccessfully tried to go through all of the clich� places for a date. Of all the places he thought of in his head; ice-skating, the movies, bowling, the arcade; he never thought of where they pulled up to.

“Are we really going to play Mini Golf?” Kurt asked unbuckling his seat belt and stepping out of the car. “We sure are. This is the most famous place to play so I figured why not?” Blaine shrugged and led them to the starting point.

“We would like a game a piece please.” Blaine went to take out his wallet but before he could Kurt handed the man his card. “Kurt, I am supposed to pay for this.” Blaine argued. “I told you that I was paying for what we did next.” With that Kurt picked out his club and a turquoise ball. Blaine sighed, picked up his club and chose a deep purple ball.

They made it through the first five holes at a snail’s pace due to Kurt’s inability to get the ball in the hole in less than twenty tries. They were moving so slow they had to let a few couples go in front of them so they didn’t hold the entire place up. On his twenty-fifth try for hole number five Kurt let out a huff and dropped his club. “I give up! I can’t do this.” Kurt threw his hands up in the air and sat on the rock next to him.

“Oh come on, I will show you. It’s not that hard once you get the hang of it.” Blaine walked over, picked up Kurt’s club and grabbed Kurt by the hand to pull him up. He placed Kurt’s ball back at the starting place. He made Kurt stand like he was going to hit the ball. He told Kurt to wait and went up behind him, and placed his hands over Kurt’s.

At the action, Kurt’s breath hitched and his heart rate sped up. He had never been so close to another boy like this before. He could feel Blaine’s breath on his neck as he told him how he should stand. Blaine knocked the inside of Kurt’s legs with his to get him to spread them a little wider. “You need to put your hands on the putter like this” Blaine instructed, pressing his body even closer to Kurt to show him exactly where to place his hands.

Kurt could now feel every inch of Blaine’s front pressed up against his back. Kurt chanced a look at Blaine and turned his head towards him. At the same moment Blaine looked over at Kurt. They were mere centimeters apart, breath ghosting over each other lips. All Kurt had to do was take a deep breath and their lips would brush. Blaine tore his eyes away.

Blaine didn’t just want to kiss Kurt at any moment he wanted the perfect moment. Blaine believed a first kiss of a new relationship,(and that was what his was right?), set the tone for the entire relationship. If it wasn’t perfect and exactly what Kurt wanted then it would be over before it even started and Blaine definitely didn’t want that.

“Stand like that and try to make it in.” Blaine coughed and took a step away. Kurt nodded and hit the ball. He got a hole in one. “I did it! OMG BLAINE I DID IT!” Kurt’s naturally high voiced went even higher as he flew towards Blaine to give him a hug.

“Hurry up faggots, no one wants to see your nasty life style any longer.” An older gentleman sneered at them. Kurt tensed and pulled away, muttering an apology, withdrawing into his self. “Excuse me sir, but I don’t believe we are bothering anyone, we are just playing a friendly round of golf.” Blaine stated matter of factly. The man scoffed at him. “You looked to be playing a more than friendly game of golf when you were groping each other not more than three minutes ago.” Blaine’s fists clenched at his sides and a snarl graced his features but vanished as quickly as it came. “I wasn’t groping him, I was just kindly showing him how to play correctly. And if you have a problem with me going on a date, then instead of calling us out, you could kindly ask us to tone down the PDA. If you had asked nicely I probably would have backed off him.” Blaine said, not a hint of distaste in his voice, ending with a smile at Kurt, completely baffled that Blaine could be so calm and dapper around this homophobe. Blaine grabbed their things and guided a very quiet and shaky Kurt to the next hole.

“Enjoy your time in Hell Fairies, you deserve everything that happens to you.” The man yelled across the course. Blaine just laughed in his face and brought Kurt to hole eight. “We skipped a few holes” Kurt said, his voice breaking a few times. “The farther way from that homophobic asshole the better.” Blaine pulled Kurt into a hug and rubbed his back until his breathing returned to normal. “You want to finish the game or do you wanna leave?” Blaine asked pushing Kurt back a few inches so he could look him in the eyes. “Let’s finish the game, especially since I can kick your ass now.” Kurt chuckled and Blaine released his hold on him. “If your sure.” Blaine shrugged and placed his ball at the start; Kurt already having made another hole in one.

They laughed and flirted with each other the rest of the game, but Kurt’s smile never met his eyes. The man was still glaring at them whenever they were in view and his presence obvious to Kurt. Blaine didn’t know what more he could say or do. Kurt would flirt and smile but then as soon as the jerk was in view he would close off again.

Once they finished the eighteenth hole and returned their putters Blaine pulled Kurt into another hug. “Don’t worry about that guy, he is just jealous his wife let herself go and my date is nine hundreds times better looking.” Blaine placed a kiss behind Kurt’s ear and pulled away. He intertwined their hands, looking at Kurt to make sure it was ok. Kurt just smiled and pulled Blaine towards his car.

“I know its only around three in the afternoon and our dinner wont be until five, so what would you like to do?” Blaine asked. “Well my aunt was going on about some nature preserve that she loves, we could just walk around there and talk for a while.” Kurt shrugged. “Sounds good to me.” Blaine put the car in drive and headed towards their destination.

Once there, Kurt made the move to intertwine their fingers; amazed at how perfect it all felt. They talked and just enjoyed each other’s company while taking in the natural beauty of the gardens. Kurt was impressed with the different types of flowers there, many of which he had never heard of before. At one point Blaine picked a Tiger Lily and gave it to Kurt who, in return, picked a Daisy and gave it to Blaine. Kurt made sure to pick at least a dozen different flowers, all ready to take back and press into the scrapbook he was making of his summer. Kurt was just starting to realize Blaine has made an appearance in the scrapbook dozens of times in one way or another; the drawing of piercing hazel eyes, a first aid kit, or a picture of a sunset with a cartoon sticker of brownies holding it to the page.

When they made their way to dinner it was the same as lunch, great conversation and great food. Kurt ordered a grilled chicken C�sar Salad while Blaine stuck with a bacon cheeseburger. They enjoyed light conversation that kept them both laughing. Since it was a fifties style diner they decided to add to the clich� of the day and split a cookies and cream milkshake. They smiled at each other over the glass and made sure they each got half of it.

Once dinner was over Blaine grabbed his hand again and walked down the road instead of back to his car. “Blaine where are we going?” Kurt asked as Blaine continued to drag him down the road. “Hurry up Kurt, we are going to miss it if you don’t walk faster” Blaine tugged a little harder and Kurt took a few longer steps to catch up.

Blaine turned into a parking garage and led Kurt to the elevator. Once they stepped in Blaine pushed number eight and they arrived at the roof of the garage. As Blaine led Kurt around a corner a blanket with an acoustic guitar was set up at the other end. Kurt gasped and Blaine just smiled and pulled him towards the set up.

“I always come here to look at the sunset. If you sit in this corner it looks over the entire town. The sun sets right behind the nature preserve and it’s just breathtaking. In another twenty minutes you will see what I mean.” Blaine said and went to stand at the edge and look out over the city. Kurt silently stayed in his spot, took out his cell phone and snapped a picture of Blaine from behind. He wanted to remember this for the rest of his life. It was the most spectacular day he had ever had.

Once the picture was securely saved on his phone, Kurt went to stand next to Blaine. Kurt stood so their shoulders and arms were pressed together. They just watched the sunset over the town when Blaine turned and looked at Kurt.

“It’s beautiful” Kurt said. “It really is” Blaine replied and turned back to the sunset before Kurt could notice. Soon after he picked up the guitar and motioned for Kurt to sit next to him. They just sat and talked while Blaine strummed random notes on the guitar in the background.

Once it was completely dark the pair gathered up the blanket and guitar and headed back towards Blaine’s car. The drive back to Kurt’s house was silent and peaceful. Both boys were replaying the day’s events with adoring smiles on their faces.

Blaine pulled up to Kurt’s aunt’s house. Blaine got out to open the door for Kurt. They stood there awkwardly for a few moments before one of them spoke.

“I had a fabulous time tonight.” Kurt played with the keys in his hands trying to distract himself. “Me too. I will see you later?” Blaine asked. “Yeah of course, goodnight Blaine.” Kurt turned and walked towards the house. He stopped, not happy with how the night ended. He wasn’t going to allow the day to end without getting what he has been waiting for all day.

Blaine stayed where he was, waiting to make sure Kurt got inside safely. All of a sudden Kurt stopped half way to the door, turned around and walked back towards Blaine. Kurt walked up to him, grabbed him by the back of the neck and crashed their lips together.

Blaine was stunned at first, not sure what was happening but it soon registered in him. Omg Kurt is kissing me. Kurt freaking Hummel is kissing me. Blaine pushed up into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Kurt’s waist. Their lips moved together slowly and carefully, not wanting to scare the other away already.

They broke away eventually, before anyone passed out at least. Blaine rested his forehead against Kurt’s and smiled through his heaving breathing.
“Fireworks” Kurt let out, capturing Blaine’s lips in his again. This kiss was shorter but still as passionate.

“You can say that again. I’ll see you later Kurt.” Blaine pulled himself away from Kurt, got into his car and pulled away. Kurt stood, staring down the road. When he made his way inside he pinched himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.

He wasn’t. He finally had a boyfriend. We are boyfriends right? You just don’t kiss anyone. Kurt tried not to dwell on it to long, the thought of him leaving in two months weighed heavy on his mind instead. He was going to need to talk to Blaine about his future before he let himself swim out into dangerous waters without a life raft, or a sexy lifeguard to save him.
