Coffee. That's all Kurt could think about as he opened the shutters and let himself into his shop. He closed the door behind him and locked it again, put his bag on the counter and headed into the back room to boil the kettle. Ten minutes later Kurt was about ready to open up the shop, he unlocked the door and turned the sign to round to open. He was feeling much more relaxed now he'd had his coffee. The noise of the bell on the shop door made Kurt look up. Felix, Kurts assistance walked in wearing the bright smile he always did.

"Morning boss!" he beamed. Kurt snorted at that.

"I wish you wouldn't call me that Felix, it makes me sound old". Felix just laughed and headed straight for the back room, presumably for the same reason as Kurt. Kurt found himself thinking about how unhealthy it was for so many people to rely on coffee to function.

Felix emerged from the back and appeared behind the counter next to Kurt. Felix was a good looking guy, on his early twenties, like Kurt. He had dirty blond hair, which he wore quite short, and bright green eyes. He was tall, 6"1 or 6"2, and had strong muscular arms. In short, he was hot. He was also English, which the customers loved. Kurt of course, was well aware of this, he wasn't blind. Despite this, Kurt didn't see Felix like that, he didn't lust after him. Blondes don't really do it for him. It wasn't that he didn't find Felix attractive, he really did, there just wasn't any spark for him. Kurt was thankful for this. The last thing he needed was another Finn episode. Felix was as straight as they come, had a lovely girlfriend whom Kurt got along well with, and was fun to work with. He was always on time, rarely made mistakes, and was completely comfortable flirting with young men if it meant making a sale.

"We've got that new line coming in this afternoon, where do you want me to put it" Felix asked.

Kurt looked up from his copy of Vouge. He cocked his eyebrow.

"Hmm. How about over there". Kurt gestured to the corner of the shop.

"We'd have to move those jackets thought".

"Yeah, but I don't think they're selling that well anyway are they?" Kurt asked.

"Nope, not really. Let's do it. I'll start moving them in a bit" Felix smiled.

Kurt looked up at him again curiously. He was used to Felix being overly smiley in the mornings, but this was a bit too much. Kurt new for a fact Felix hated moving stock, so he couldn't understand why he was so enthusiastic about it.

"Spill" Kurt smirked at Felix.

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb with me, you hate moving stock around, so whats with the shit easting grin?"

Felix looked down, embarrassed. He was blushing.

"I've kinda got something big planned for Claire" he said quietly.

"Oh yeah? Like what" Kurt said, trying to catch his friends eye.

Felix looked up again, straight into Kurts eyes.

"I'm kinda gunna … you know… maybe propose" he mumbled.

Kurts eyes widened and a grin spread across his face. He squealed and threw his arms around Felix.

"Oh my god! That's amazing Felix". Felix laughed and hugged Kurt back. He'd had a feeling the news might please his friend. Kurt pulled back and looked up at the taller man.

"How are you planning to do it" he asked excitedly.

"Well I was thinking about taking her to dinner at her favourite restaurant and then maybe for a walk through central park. I was going to buy her some flowers and then do it. You know, properly. On one knee and all that malarkey. I know it's kind of a cliché, but I think she'll really like it".

Felix smiled shyly. Kurt bounced on his heels. He loved weddings. He thought back to the day his father married Carole, and how happy everyone was.

"Felix, she's going to love it! Oh my god this is so exciting! When are you going to ask her?"

"I was thinking maybe Saturday. So I kinda need the afternoon off. If that's ok with you of course" Felix smirked.

"Of course it's ok with me. It's more than ok! I'm so pleased for you Felix, Claire is such a lovely girl. You're doing the right think, she's defiantly a keeper" Kurt enthused.

"Thanks Kurt. You're the best boss ever. And the best friend. I have something to ask you aswell actually. Wi-"

At that moment the bell above the door went, indicating a customer had come in. Felix whispered in Kurts ear, "I'll tell you later".

Kurt nodded and looked up towards the customer.
