Pairing: Klaine with a side of Brittana and a little bit of Quick
Disclaimer: Anything you recognise, Glee or Harry Potter is not mine.
AN: Well, I tried to make it less time than last. But I will warn you this may be the last chapter for a while - I have 4 assignments for university, that I haven't started, and well, I will need to work on them to get them done in time. So I hope you enjoy this, and I will try to get another one out soon!
The next morning Kurt realised that he and Santana had, for once, beaten their Hufflepuff counterparts to breakfast. They both took seats next to Finn at the Gryffindor table, as soon as they were seated Finn looked at them.
"Finn, you okay? You look exhausted." Kurt's eyes showed his concern over his brothers wellbeing.
"I'm okay, just Rachel has been hassling me so much lately, and so I have tried to plan the perfect day today, but I just know she's going to hate it, or yell at me, or something that will make it all seem useless."
"Suck it up Gryffin-dork and tell her to quit her whinging." Santana said in between bites of food.
"Don't listen to her Finn, just do what comes naturally to you. I know Rachel's a drama queen but if she knows that it's coming from your heart she will love it."
"Really bro? You think she will seriously love whatever I have planned?"
"Well as long as you aren't taking her somewhere she specifically hates, I'm sure she will. It's the thought that counts." Kurt reached over and patted his hand, "Now eat up, you'll need all your energy to keep up with her. She's insane, and I mean that in the least insulting way possible." Kurt jumped when he felt a hand on the back of his neck and turned to see his boyfriend? Well no they hadn't agreed to that, they had just kissed. Wait, what were he and Blaine? Did Blaine want to date other boys? Or were they monogamous. Of course Kurt would have this freak out on the day of their date.
"Hey, you." Blaine said leaning down and pecking Kurt on the lips before taking a seat next to him. "Excited for today?"
"Why? Should I be?" Kurt shot back at him with a small smile.
"Well, as I planned our day, I should think you would be excited." Blaine said leaning over him to grab a bread roll. During this exchange Finn had been glancing between them, confusion clear on his face.
"Wait are you two dating? When did this happen? Kurt you never tell me anything."
Kurt blushed, "Uh.. I guess, yes we are dating." Kurt glanced at Blaine for confirmation and Blaine was nodding his head along with what Kurt was saying, "And it happened last night, so I mean really, I didn't have that much time to tell you. I promise next time something happens you will be the first to know."
"I better be! When Karofsky was around I spent so much time with you man, it's weird now that we don't."
"Well, why don't we meet up and catch up? Make a family afternoon or something. I can help you with your lady problems, and you can, um, help me with Quidditch? Or something, we can work something out."
"Dude, that sounds awesome." Finn looked up to see Rachel approaching them. "Hey Rach!"
Her smile lit up all of her face, "Good morning Finn and everyone, hope you have some great things planned because Finn and I will be occupied all day. I do not wish for you to crash our date."
"Trust me, the last date I want to crash would be the freakshow date between the leprechaun and Frankenteen." Santana said derisively from her place next to Kurt, before turning her full attention back to Brittany.
"Is she really a leprechaun? Does that mean she's hidden gold at the end of a rainbow? Do you think we could make her give it to us San?"
"Honey, she won't give us anything if she can help it." Brittany looked disappointed at Santana's honest words. "Right, so we have the freakshow, the late comers, and the hotstuff, so where on earth is Puckerman and his little date."
"I think they made the right choice in sitting at a different table." Kurt pointed towards the Ravenclaw table which held both Quinn and Puck. "And on that note, Blaine, you ready to go? As much as I love our friends, their insanity could possibly rub off on us."
Blaine quickly sculled the rest of his pumpkin juice before standing up and pulling Kurt up with him, "Yep let's get this date started." As soon as the words were out of his mouth Blaine tripped over his shoelace.
"Hey Romeo, why don't you tie your shoes first." Kurt said with a small smile on his face.
"Oh ha bloody ha Hummel. Now you've gone and hurt my feelings, I don't know if I want to go out on a date with someone as mean as you."
Kurt let out a loud laugh before tugging Blaine close to him, "Would a kiss make you feel better?" Blaine was staring into his and jerkily nodded his head, just as Kurt was leaning in a voice interrupted their moment.
"Get some Hummel!" Kurt came back to himself at the sound of Puck's voice, he has completely forgotten they were still in the great hall surrounding by hundreds of students. Instead of reacting, Kurt merely gave Puck the finger and grabbed Blaine's hand and left the Great Hall. It could have been worse, at least with it being a Hogsmead weekend half the students had already left to get a carriage to the town.
"Don't forget boys, costumes for my party." Rachel called out after them.
Once outside the Great Hall Kurt quickly bent down and kissed Blaine, Blaine's hand came up to hold his face, and tried to deepen the kiss before Kurt pulled back. "We're in the entrance hall Blaine, I don't think it's appropriate for two prefects to behave in such a way."
"You're right." Blaine sighed, "Let's go! I can't wait, I need to stock up on some chocolate while we are there, and I need to send some Sugar Quills to my cousins, can you remind me?" Blaine's mouth was running a million miles a minute whilst tugging Kurt out the door and into a carriage.
"Blaine, you need to stop talking or I'm going to forget all the things you are telling me to remember."
Blaine blushed, "I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous, I haven't dated a boy before so it's all kind of new to me."
"It's new to me too Blaine, you know that right? You're the first guy I've dated as well." Blaine grinned at that and just squeezed Kurt's hand, "It probably helps that we have been acting like we've been dating for at least a month now. Santana was getting sick of our 'sexual tension' as she says."
Blaine outright laughed at that, "I guess we did act like a couple, I guess I didn't notice, it felt kind of natural to be affectionate to you."
"It felt natural? Blaine may I remind you we spent the first month we knew each other tearing each other's heads off for no real reason at all."
"Whatever, that was us just acting like our house stereotypes. As soon as we realised what we were really like we came to our senses and became best friends." Blaine shrugged and grinned like his explanation was fool proof.
"Keep telling yourself that." Kurt chuckled, before Blaine jumped up and opened the carriage door.
"Come on, we're here and we have so much stuff to do today." He jumped out of the carriage before offering his hand to help Kurt out.
"You're being a real gentleman, given a gentlemen from say the 1950's, but a gentlemen all the same."
Blaine rubbed the back of his neck, "I have a penchant for 50's movie's and style. The men in them are just so suave. I just thought you would like it."
They reached Honeydukes by this point, before entering Kurt tugged him over to the side of the entrance, the shop was already full with students. "Blaine, I like you. Not who you pretend to be alright?"
"Okay. Now can I get some candy?" Blaine asked, pulling out the puppy-dog eyes, trying to convince Kurt to let him go to Honeydukes.
"Are you sure you are 16? You sure act like a 5 year old."
"Sticks and stones may break my bones Kurt, but words will never hurt me."
"They just might cause permanent psychological damage."
Blaine just laughed before pulling him into the store, grabbing a large block of chocolate, some Sugar Quills, Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs and some Licorice Wand's. Kurt just shook his head at all the crap that Blaine was eating. Blaine quickly pulled him into the line waiting to pay, whilst babbling excitedly about the new candy featured this month. That's how the rest of the morning progressed, Blaine excitedly pulling Kurt to their next destination, then babbling something about how amazing something was. If Kurt was being honest, he would say he loved every minute of it, because this was Blaine being Blaine.
That is not to say that Kurt wasn't having a blast himself, he was able to pick up some supplies for Santana, Puck and himself at Zonko's. Stopped by his favourite store to get some more hand lotion, and managed to convince Blaine to try some. After all the running around Kurt and Blaine finally ended up at The New Direction, a cafe that Kurt absolutely loves visiting.
As soon as they were seated Blaine groaned, "I'm so tired."
"I believe that was your own fault for running around like a mad man all morning." Glancing up Kurt saw Mercedes, the owner of The New Direction wandering towards them, "Hey Mercedes" Kurt quickly jumped up and hugged her, "I've missed you! It's a pity you can't come to the castle! So close but I can only see you on Hogsmead visits."
"I've missed you too, white boy! Now tell me who this lovely boy is." Mercedes said indicating in Blaine's direction.
"Oh, this is Blaine, I've told you about him in my letters." A small smile graced Kurt's face, "He's my date today." Blaine waved slightly, before Mercedes hauled him out of his chair and pulled him into a hug. Blaine laughed before hugging back just as tightly.
"It's nice to put a face to the name, Blaine." Was all Mercedes said before allowing him to sit back down, "Now what do you two want?"
Kurt glanced at the menu, "A non-fat mocha, and the Greek Salad, thanks 'Cedes."
"And for you Blaine?"
"Uh, Medium Drip and the steak sandwich thanks." He said with a smile. Mercedes took their menu's and mouthed 'get some, white boy' before going to tell the kitchen hands their order. "Well, she's a force to be reckoned with." Blaine said incredulously.
"I always wondered what it would be have been like if Mercedes and Rachel had been in the same year. Mercedes was a Gryffindor, I just don't think Hogwarts could have handled them both in the same room."
"You have a habit of befriending people from every other house but your own, don't you?"
"Probably because my dad was a Gryffindor, and my step-mum Carole is a Hufflepuff, so I've been raised around the other houses. Plus Slytherin's are too complicated, with the hierarchal system within the house, who has more power, who has the more pure blood. It's just easier to hang out with the other houses." Kurt shrugged, and grinned when Mercedes returned with their drinks, "Thanks, 'Cedes. We will have to catch up next Hogsmead trip."
"Of course, I'm not messing around with your date day." She said with a laugh walking away to talk to one of the other waitresses.
"I didn't realise you had a friend here, she can hang out with us if you want to catch up with her."
"Do you ever get sick of being so polite?" Kurt asked, "Because it's adorable, and I love that about you, but I'm just wondering, do you really want someone crashing our date?"
"Well not really, but you obviously miss her."
"Mmm, but I think I would miss doing this more." Kurt said leaning across the table and capturing Blaine's lips in another kiss. Pulling back slightly Kurt murmured, "Definitely would miss doing that more." Before settling back in his chair, at the same moment that Mercedes bought out their meals.
"Enjoy guys, though looks like you were enjoying something much nicer before." Kurt smacked her arm before starting to eat his salad. Quickly enough they finished off their meals, casual conversation flowed between them both. It had become second nature for them to talk about anything and everything without really paying attention to the actual topics.
"You all done babe?" Blaine asked.
Kurt raised one of his eyebrows and with a smirk, "Babe?"
Blaine blushed after realising what he said, "I'm sorry, it just came out, I mean, if you don't like it obviously I won't call you that."
"You're kind of adorable when you're all nervous. I approve of babe, but next time, run the nickname by me." Kurt said with a wink.
"You just like to make me blush." Blaine fished out some Galleon's from his pocket to pay for his and Kurt's meal, while Kurt was doing the same thing. "No, no, no, hey, I'm paying, I asked you out, and therefore I'm paying."
Kurt looked like he wanted to protest, "Fine, but next time I'm paying." Kurt said before leaving the shop and waiting for Blaine to finish paying.
Kurt jumped when Blaine wrapped his arms around him from behind and kissed him on his neck, "So, there's going to be a next time?"
"Oh hush you." Pulling Blaine's hands away from his body and stepping forward, "Come on, we have to find some costumes for the Gyffindor party." Kurt looked him up and down, "I guess you could just wear a sack and go as a house elf." As soon as the words were out of Kurt's mouth Blaine had grabbed him and started tickling him. "Oh, h-hey, s-stop Blaine. No fair." Kurt wiggled out of his arms and lightly pushed him away.
"I am not a house elf, nor am I even that short."
"Have you seen yourself in a mirror lately honey?" Kurt quickly jumped away before Blaine could grab him again with a grin on his face. "Fine, we can get something else, you can go as a troll or something, since you so against people picking on you for being short."
Blaine put a hand over his heart looking offended, "Are you calling me ugly? I think you're calling me ugly."
"What? No."
"You just told me I could go as a troll, I'm pretty sure you were implying I'm ugly." Kurt hit Blaine over the head when he said that.
"You're an idiot, come on, the costume shop is down this way." The entire walk there had Blaine mumbling about how he wasn't ugly, and how mean Kurt was to say he was. "Oh stop complaining, you can go as someone attractive, I said troll because it's tall, and you were so adamant that you aren't short. It was the obvious suggestion."
"Come on, what do you think you are going to wear? I was thinking of going as Peter Pan." Kurt walked into the shop with Blaine following behind him.
"Peter Pan, hmm, I could appreciate you in those tights." Kurt looked behind to see Blaine's eyes unfocused and darkening as he imagine Kurt in the outfit.
"Stop that right now Blaine Hufflepuff." Kurt said smacking Blaine's arm, only to see Blaine face break out into a huge grin. Kurt shook his head, "Alright, what are you going to go as?"
"Dumbledore of course! That man had the best style!" Blaine bounced forward towards the racks of clothes and found the costume almost immediately. "See, aren't you jealous Kurt, he was crazy stylish."
Kurt raised his eyebrow in disdain, "Blaine, I think Rachel has more style than he did, and that's saying something Blaine."
"As if, Dumbledore should be a fashion icon." Kurt shook his head walking away from Blaine to pick up his costume.
"You are completely and utterly absurd. I don't even know what to say to you right now." Kurt kept shaking his head walking towards the counter to pay for his outfit. "Come on you, get your costume, though Merlin knows do not expect me to spend the night next to you wearing that." Kurt said indicating the robes Blaine held.
"You're words are vicious." Blaine said, laughing as he paid for his costume after Kurt before following him out of the store. They saw Puck and Quinn wandering along and raised a hand in greeting. Puck being the classy Slytherin he was flipped them the bird before continuing toward The New Direction. "Puck and Quinn are cute together." Blaine mentioned as Kurt and he wandered towards the Three Broomsticks. "Wanna get a Butterbeer before heading back to the castle?" Blaine asked, and before waiting for an answer pulled Kurt in the direction of the Three Broomsticks.
"Yeah that sounds good." Kurt said walking into the Three Broomsticks behind Blaine. Blaine quickly found a table, and placed his bags down.
"You wait here I will go get us some drinks." Blaine said before he walked towards the bar. He was served fairly quickly, and returned to the table to see Kurt just staring at him, "What?"
"Are you ever going to let me pay for anything?" Kurt asked whilst taking the Butterbeer off of Blaine.
"Uh, next time? I asked you out, this is still the date. The date didn't start and end at lunch, you know?"
"Oh really now?" Kurt replied.
"Yeah, which by the way you have been very mean for someone on a date." Blaine said poking Kurt in the ribs.
"What? I have not." Kurt said indignantly, "I have been the perfect date."
"You called me short, ugly and insulted my fashion icon!"
"Oh you are ridiculous, I was joking about the short thing, the troll thing was not calling you ugly, and Dumbledore never will be a fashion icon, he dressed absurdly!" Kurt said, and then Blaine grabbed his sides and started tickling him. "N-no hey, stop that." Kurt wiggled away and huffed drinking his Butterbeer.
"That will be continued later, you deserve tonnes of tickles for insulting me so much." Blaine said coping Kurt and drinking his Butterbeer, "I love this drink."
"Wow, why don't you ask it on a date, the way you're looking at it I feel like you want to take it home and introduce it to your parents." Kurt chuckled.
"Whatever, don't hate on our love, it's pure and real!" Kurt laughed loudly at that.
"I'm sure you love it very pure." Kurt said in reply whilst fiddling with his near empty cup. "Come on, drink up, I just saw Santana enter and if we don't leave now we won't get away." Kurt paused and looked Blaine up and down, "After all, your tiny legs can only run so fast." At that Kurt grabbed his bags and quickly ran outside, Blaine quickly following, grabbing him around the waist and rested his chin on Kurt's shoulder.
"I find it funny that even though you were rushing to leave – because you know that even with these short legs I can beat you - you still managed to grab your shopping bags." Kurt laughed turning his head and kissing Blaine on the temple.
"Oh whatever, I had it all planned, except I should have taken into consideration that you are used to having to run faster with those legs. Also I'm a shopper Blaine, I would never forget my bags, that's just ridiculous." Blaine turned him around in his arms before rocking up on his toes and pulling Kurt into a long deep kiss. Before pulling away and resting his forehead against Kurt's
"Not cool Kurt, calling your boyfriend short and ugly all day." Blaine said tickling Kurt's sides again.
Kurt squirmed in Blaine's arms, "You're never going to give that up are you? I didn't call you ugly! You are just being ridiculous!" Kurt paused and his lips pulled up in a small smile. "Did you just call me your boyfriend?"
"You heard me." Blaine said and tugged Kurt in for another kiss. Before pulling apart when he heard Santana wolf whistling in their direction. "So, Boyfriend, want to head back to the castle and hang out in our place?"
Kurt pulled Blaine in for another kiss whilst giving Santana the finger, "Sounds good to me, Boyfriend." Kurt grinned pulling Blaine towards the castle.
