Once Upon a New York Dream - A Klaine Fanfiction

Chapter Six - Bella Notte

Breaking away from the kiss, Kurt took Blaine's hand and twirled him around before bringing Blaine back into to the closed position. A self satisfied grin spreading across his features, pulling the other close for a moment before taking his hand in his and beginning to lead him towards the diner. 

As they reached the diner, Kurt loosened his scarf from around his neck. The unrelenting heat seared through the diner and brushed against the pair who had just entered from the bitterly cold New York air. Kurt wiped his forehead with his hand, feeling the sweat begin to form from the temperature change. 

"Hi, could we have a table for two please? Maybe one of the booths near the window?" Kurt spoke softly to one of the hostesses before they took them to a window booth. 

He slid into one of the seats, before taking off his coat and scarf, neatly folding them up and placing them on the seat next to them. He took the menu into his hands, as Blaine did the same, his fingers carefully tracing the corners of it. His attention in that moment devoted to the menu and his decision making, he'd been to this diner plenty of times but for some reason this time felt different. He didn't want to order anything too messy to eat in front of Blaine. Kurt sighed softly but happily before placing the menu back onto the table. 

Blaine's gaze flickered over towards the male in front of him, his lips curling into a smile. "Decided?" Blaine softly asked, tilting his head to the side, "I'm going to have a waffle with maple bacon and a chocolate milkshake"

"I was thinking of having the pancakes," Kurt replied as his eyes scanned the menu once more before nodding in confirmation. "Yes, the pancakes, with a vanilla milkshake. I'm not normally this indecisive but apparently I am today" Kurt chuckled softly as he looked towards Blaine, the artificial diner lights making his blue hues glisten. 

Blaine extended his hand across the table for Kurt to take, which he of course did, his gaze following his arm down to their now joined hands with an even bigger smile appearing across his face. "So. . . Tell me a bit more about yourself, what have you been doing whilst in the most amazing city in the whole of the continental US?"

"Ha, well. . . it's a long story. So, originally I didn't get into NYADA. Shocking, I know!" Kurt began with a little chuckle, "So I decided to just move out here and see if I could get myself an internship anyway, after a few applications I finally got accepted to work for Isabelle Wright at Vogue.com." He paused for effect, wanting to see Blaine's obviously astonished expression before continuing. "I reapplied for NYADA, sang at the infamous Winter Showcase and gained my place. Ooh ooh I formed a band too!" Kurt excitedly exclaimed the last bit, "We were called Pamela Lansbury. Iconic, I know! But now we've reformed and we're now called One Three Hill."

As Kurt spoke, Blaine's thumb caressed the back of Kurt's hand calmingly. He rested his chin against the fist of his free hand, listening with such interest in the others story. He raised his eyebrow and smirked, "firstly, how on earth could NYADA have rejected you, there is no way you could have failed your audition. I've seen you perform and you're incredible, breathtaking actually. Secondly, Vogue.com are you serious?! THE vogue.com, THE Isabelle Wright?! That's beyond crazy, you know that right?! She's like a fashion goddess! Thirdly, One Tree Hill is the most amazing show the Warner Brothers have ever created." Blaine then breathlessly laughed, he wasn't normally one to get overly excited about someones life story, but the fact it was Kurt made him have a sense of pride in his heart. 

The hostess came over to take their food order, causing Blaine to stop his overly excitable monologue of being far too proud of the guy he'd just spent the last few hours with. They gave their orders, Kurt going first followed by Blaine before the hostess walked away. 

Kurt's face was full of pride as his gaze returned back to Blaine. His hand reaching back over the table to take Blaine's hand in his. "Crazy right?! My New York experience really has been crazy, and now this. . . I can't quite believe it. New York is full of dreams isn't it." Kurt excitedly said, leaning his head to the side. 

"When I came to New York for my audition, I never expected to have dinner with NYADA's most handsome man, let alone happen to go to the theatre with him," Blaine mumbled as he looked over at Kurt, taking in all of his handsomeness, his eyes almost starstruck. 

A few moments passed as they continued to discuss the unbelievable reality that the pair were some how thrust together by fate. Their food arrived and they began tucking into their pancakes and waffles, Kurt smiled and softly said, "fancy going back to mine after this? I have ice cream." Blaine looked up at Kurt for a brief moment playing with the straw of his milkshake, with a massive grin plastered across his face, "I am crazy about you". Kurt chuckled softly, his cheeks turning a bright red, "so. . .I'll take that as a yes then."

They finished their food, both of them grinning from ear to ear. Kurt gestured towards Blaine to see whether he was ready to leave and Blaine nodded, placing the money for the food on the table with the bill. They both got up from their booth, and walked hand in hand towards the door. The pair of them couldn't help but gaze lustfully towards each other. 

As they stepped outside the diner, they began to hear shouting coming from one of the side alleys. With their curiosity getting the better of them, the pair walked towards the alley to have a peek at whatever commotion was happening. Before they knew it, the gang that were once causing havoc fighting in an alley, were now charging towards the sweet porcelain and olive toned boys. 

Blaine's features turned to stone, his hands shaking in fear as he pulled Kurt away beginning to run, "Shit! Shit! They're coming after us!" he exclaimed quietly.
