            “Blaine, hi…” Kurt says, giving him a smile.
            “Uh, am I interrupting something?” Blaine asks, looking between them and he smirks and looks at Dave.
            “I don’t know, is he interrupting something Dave?”
            “No,” Dave says, giving him an unimpressed look which just makes him grin wider. He feels incredibly lucky to be Dave’s boyfriend right now, everything just feels really good, and he wants to become friends with Blaine as well, knows that Dave would like that. Except he’d meant what he’d said to Sebastian, sometimes Blaine is a little creepy with the whole hero-worship thing he has going on. Maybe he needs to do something that makes Blaine realize he’s just human. He has no idea what though.
            “So this seems really serious. Uh, can I ask what it’s about? Because it’s kind of making me nervous.”
            “It’s fine. Nothing too scary,” Dave says, and he tries not to laugh aloud at the new expression of terror on Blaine’s face.
            “You’re trying to reassure me! That means it’s something bad!”
            “It’s not. It’s really really not. Kurt, just tell him.”  
            “Well, I just… I wanted to know your thoughts on the football team. If there was any particular person that maybe caught your eye.”
            “The football team? What? All of them?”
            He frowns, not sure what Blaine is asking exactly but Dave is looking at the ceiling as if he will somehow find patience up there.
            “Blaine, one of the guys on the team is gay and approached Kurt about asking you whether you’d be interested in going out with him. Right?”
            “Uh yeah, pretty much.”
            Blaine looks between them, eyes wide, licking his lips and obviously trying to work out whether they are joking or not. He wonders if he should say that he’s definitely not joking.
            “I… you’re serious. Oh my god! You’re serious! Who? Who is it?”
            “Sebastian.”
            “He’s gay? Oh my god… oh my god…”
            “Blaine, come on, calm down. Do I need to go and get a paper bag?”
            He thinks Dave is joking for a minute and then realizes that he’s actually serious. He had kind of been joking when he’d said to Sebastian that Blaine would get excited, but even that hadn’t prepared him for this eventuality.
            “Oh my god! He’s gorgeous! I mean, not as cute as you,” Blaine says to Kurt and he raises both his eyebrows at Dave, mouthing what the fuck? “But yeah, definitely! Oh my god, I might be going on my first date!”
            He freezes, because he has no idea if Sebastian plans on coming out, although if he and Dave have guessed right then maybe that’s what the whole plan is. He wonders if Sebastian actually genuinely likes Blaine or whether he’s using him as a means to an end. He needs to find that out, because the last thing he wants is for Dave’s best friend to be used. He knows Dave would rip anyone apart that hurt his friends, far worse than if they said something to him personally, and he knows it from personal experience.
            “This makes me feel like I’m in middle school, I’ll let Sebastian know. I’m not sure how he wants to… do this exactly.” He catches Dave’s eye and fortunately Blaine is too distracted by the idea of a date to catch their mutual looks of worry. Not that he’s ever had any negative experiences with Sebastian, but he doesn’t know him well enough to feel safe vouching for him either.
            “You’re awesome! Oh my god, you’ve set me up on a date! Thank you so much!”
            Kurt groans internally, tries to point out that there isn’t anything definite and at the same time realizes that there’s probably no chance of Blaine stopping with the hero worship. Dave chuckles quietly beside him, seeming to know what he’s thinking and he gives him a dirty look.
            “You staying for dinner?”
            “Uh… yeah. If that’s okay?”
            “Of course. Just be prepared for a lot of… talk.”
            “What, like gossip?”
            Dave raises an eye brow and shakes his head.
            “The exact opposite.”
            Within twenty minutes, after discussing with Blaine what he can potentially wear on a date; and trying to reassure him that Sebastian seems to like him just as he is and to not go changing, he’s glad when everyone else arrives so they can eat. And finally stop talking about Sebastian because Blaine gets that he can’t tell anyone else yet, and he seems fine with that. Conversation instead switches to the Dungeons and Dragons game, and from watching a few he’d thought he would be able to follow the majority of their conversation. They’re busy discussing characters, which he kind of gets.
            “You should roll up a character.” Sam says, eyes actually on his plate.
            “I should do what now?”
            “Roll up a character.”
            “Yeah, that doesn’t actually help.” What the fuck does rolling have to do with it?
            “He means you should create a character to play in the game. It’s okay, you don’t have to.”
            “I… is it easy?”
            “Oh yeah! Definitely!” Blaine exclaims and he’s reassured for all of a second before Dave snorts.
            It isn’t of course. Everyone seems instantly interested and helpful, telling him the benefits of different stats and classes, which is just confusing. He’s obviously overestimated his grasp of the game dynamics. The only thing that keeps him from snapping is Dave’s leg pressing against his, hand on his thigh, rubbing and squeezing gently. It’s distracting, although he knows it’s not the only reason he’s completely lost as Mercedes, Lucy, Sam and Blaine have all starting arguing about what he should play.
            “A rogue, so he can have tumbling and acrobatic skills!”
            “He doesn’t need to mirror real life Mercedes.”
            “He might like to though!”
            “I think we need another ranged attack.”
            “That’s confusing though. Getting up close with sneak attack would be better.”
            “He could always go for the Shadow Dancer prestige class –” Azimio interjects and that seem to start a new tirade.
            “Oh my god! You and fucking prestige classes!”
            “What are they talking about?” He asks in a whisper, because he understands the words, but no longer has any idea what they are talking about.
            “Don’t worry about it. You don’t need to learn any of this. I like you just the way you are,” Dave replies, placing a soft kiss just below his ear that makes him smile.
            “You’re a complete sap,” he says, giving him a quick kiss in return. I think that’s why I love you he adds in his head.
