“So…I was thinking, you know how there’s that dance next week with Crawford? What if we like…went together? Like as a date?” Sam asked earnestly, his eyes intent on Blaine’s reaction. He knew it was risky, Blaine’s history with school dances weren’t positive, he knew that. But he also knew that Blaine trusted him, and he knew that he was getting tired of not being Blaine’s boyfriend, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take the risk. “It could be fun? And I’m not the best dancer so I won’t steal any amount of the spotlight from you, and the Warblers are performing…so…we gotta go anyways…?”

Shock registered on Blaine’s face before he could get his composure back from Sam managing to momentarily steal it.  He wanted to go to the dance together?  Blaine never would have seen this coming. Never.  Most of the Warblers were busy trying to get dates with one of the girls from Crawford and the few others who weren’t particularly into that sort of date were going together. Maybe as friends.  Or something more.  Blaine, on the other hand, was busy trying to focus solely on performing there and trying to ignore the feeling of the rock in his belly turning into a boulder at the idea of..a dance.  He hadn’t asked anyone.  Nor did he expect to be asked. Especially not by the only person that..if he wasn’t busy trying to ignore his nerves getting into a mess and the way his mind kept trailing off to a place he wished it wouldn’t go..he would give anything to have ask him.  Even if it was only as friends.  But Sam one-upped it with one word ‘date’  and now he was tongue tied and his heart was beating so fast while simultaneously feeling like it was floating into the clouds..   Sam asked him out.  “I–.  You want to..”  Stuttering the first few words out, his cheeks exploded with color. He’d be embarrassed later.  “I..I mean.. You want to go with me as a date?  I want to make sure I heard that right.”
