“ YEAH ? ” and there’s than unmistakable , beaming smile that could only belong to sam evans . pessimism expected a negative , but optimism wanted a positive response ; he was nothing if not ecstatic about blaine accepting his invitation . he hadn’t called it a date , maybe he should clarify , but he’s far too thrilled to ruin the moment . “awesome ; usually i’d say i’ll stop by at seven but , there’s a gaming convention in columbus this weekend ; the drive is only like half an hour with some traffic , so how about i pick you up around noon ? we can carpool karaoke. ”
Seeing Sam’s smile and enthusiasm was infectious. But it wasn’t the only reason Blaine felt his pulse quicken. Because.. Sam first asked him if he was still seeing Jeremiah (Jeremiah who?) before asking him out. Asking him out. A s k i n g..him..o u t. Was that an ask out? Did that just happen? Was he reading too much? What if it was an ask to? Cause those are completely different. Ask to means friends going to said convention together. Ask out? That had the promise of something else. Something huge. Something like maybe a date. All he could manage was a round eyed, mouth dropped; “Uhhh, yeah! You would have had me at gaming convention but now you’re adding carool karaoke? It’s pretty much going to be the best dayyyy-teever.” Walking out on a limb? A slip of the tongue? Which one could it be?!
