November 30th, 2015. New York City.
Kurt's favorite part about living in New York City was its autumns. This was his third autumn in the city and he couldn't wait for it to get started. He loved going out into the city in his long wool pea coat and his array of knitted scarves. Strolling through the street, watching his icicle breath mingle in the air around him. He didn't think he would ever get over the feeling of autumn in his favorite city.
So the morning of November 30th, he pulled on his favorite Burberry pea coat, a gift from Isabelle for his birthday last year. He wrapped a bright red scarf around his neck and turned the collar up to protect him from the wind outside. It was a Saturday, his day off but he was going to brave the weather outside to go to his favorite coffee shop. His coffee maker had been busted for nearly a month and he was too lazy to go shopping for a new one so he found himself in coffee shops more often than usual. Plus, it was an excuse to get out of the house and just be part of the crowd; just another part of the general public going about their lives.
The six block walk to the coffee shop was rather uneventful, he walked along to the beat of Madonna blasting through his headphones until he arrived at the shop. He stood in line and waited to order his non-fat mocha. Once it was finally in his hands, he savored the warmth with a smile. He made his way out the door, back into the cold when he collided, coffee first into something solid. Someone. He looked down at his pea coat, horrified as mocha dripped down the expertly stitched lapel. He looked up to see who he had crashed into, his eyes widened in horror.
He was looking right into the face of Sebastian Smythe. A very irritated looking Sebastian Smythe. They looked at each other for a long moment, recognition bleeding into their expressions quickly. A second later Kurt scrambled for his napkin to try his best to wipe away the coffee on his coat.
"I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was-"
"Not even a 'Hey Sebastian - long time no see! You're looking good these days'?" Sebastian said with his usual smirk in place. Kurt took a step back and took a good look at him. He couldn't help but admit right off the bat that he looked really good. He had a bit of scruff shadowing his cheeks and his hair a windswept look to it, a far cry from his High School CW days. His eyes still had that mischievous sparkle to them but it seemed a bit more mature. He wasn't going to admit it out loud but he liked what he saw.
"Seeing as how my coffee is soaking into a thousand dollar jacket, I don't really care for pleasantries at the moment." Kurt shot back, his eyes looking back down to his jacket. He could feel Sebastian's eyes on him. Just as Sebastian opened his mouth to say something back they were interrupted by a car honking. Sebastian turned and saw a sandy blonde man around their age in the drivers seat smiling in their direction.
"Ben! What are you doing here?" Kurt practically squealed as he walked away from Sebastian and towards the car. Before Kurt got back into the car he turned to look back at Sebastian. He took in his whole form, how tall and lean his frame was, engulfed by his dark black coat. He smiled a bit and waved goodbye.
"See you." Kurt called out before climbing into the passenger seat of the black Lexus. Sebastian watched Kurt lean in for a kiss and say 'I thought you were meeting me at 4?' before the car pulled away from the curb and out of the parking lot. By the time the car was out of sight, Sebastian had already decided that he was going to call Blaine when he got home; who was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. He was going to find out where Kurt worked and have a brand new, coffee stain free Burberry pea coat waiting for him at the office Monday morning.
