In which Blaine meets the competition and finds it’s not quite what he imagined. Also, Chandler is enthusiastic and Kurt mortified.
Set the day after final events in ‘Dance With Somebody’.

Blaine has missed the weight and warmth of Kurt’s hand in his.
Yes, he knows that they’d only been fighting for two days, but it seems so much longer than that, and he never gets the chance to hold Kurt’s hand as much as he’d like, not at McKinley. He traces his thumb over the ridge of Kurt’s knuckle, and back again, watches as Kurt’s eyes flicker down to the table, a shy smile gracing his face. Blaine squeezes his hand a little tighter and Kurt glances at him just in time to see Blaine mouth ‘I love you.’
