When Kurt got back to Dalton he decided to skip dinner. There was no way he could face the Warblers after what happened that afternoon. His Dalton self was usually cool, calm, and collected. The Warblers had never met sarcastic and witty Kurt, but he knew that the dam of bottled emotions was one remark away from flooding his personage. He was barely able to hold his tongue, when Cameron commented on how he didn't want to sing with someone. He knew he would have to face his friends eventually, but he had just gotten back from his first date and he was still basking in the bliss.

"So, darling, how was your day?"

Blaine smiled at his grandmother who had just finished setting the table.

"It was good. I, uh, have a date Friday."

Claire Anderson's eyes sparkled and a huge smile graced her lips.

"And who's the lucky boy?"

"Kurt."

"Kurt's a lovely name. Now tell me about this boy? Does he go to your school?"

Blaine smiled as he gushed about Kurt. Although he was devastated when he was kicked out of his house last year, he was happy with his grandmother. Claire Anderson was accepting of him and loved him for him, something he had never had in his previous home.

Kurt spent the next day doing his best to avoid any and all of the Warblers. He knew it was childish, but going out with Blaine the day before wakened the old Kurt. He began to miss McKinley even more. He missed being able to express himself through music and his clothes. He may have been the lead singer of the Warblers, but he would give anything to be back at McKinley swaying in the background and completing Mr. Shu's assignments.

Above all, he missed his friends. Wes and David were great friends, but they didn't completely understand him. He missed talking to Mercedes, Tina, and the other New Directions girls. He missed their chats about boys and fashion. He missed their sleepover filled with pampering and gossip.

Kurt had been texting with Blaine the entire morning. He loved their game of twenty questions and was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a lot in common. They talked about musicals, movies, fashion... never running out of things to say.

Kurt hadn't told Blaine about why he left McKinley, nor mentioned Cameron. He didn't want to ruin their relationship, or whatever they were so soon. That thought made Kurt pause. What are we? Are we just friends? Blaine said it was a date, but are we exclusive? Do I have a boyfriend?

Kurt didn't know how he felt about that word. Back at McKinley he had always craved someone to hold his hand as he walked down the halls; someone who carried his books and kissed his cheek. He now knew he craved much more from a boyfriend. He needed someone to always be there waiting for him, someone to hold him close and make everything seem alright, someone to love him for all his faults as well as his talents. Did he want Blaine to be that? Kurt tried to imagine Blaine and him just being friends, and Blaine moving on to someone else. Kurt didn't like that idea. He didn't like it at all.

Wednesday morning was a blur for Blaine. He was so excited for his date on Friday, but he didn't have a single idea about what they should do for their date. Blaine decided to start a game of twenty questions via text message.

He loved finding out more about Kurt. His likes and dislikes. But he knew he needed help for planning a date so he went to the next best source of everything Kurt Hummel.

"What's up B?"

"Kurt is amazing."

Mercedes grabbed her friend in a bone crushing hug.
