Hey, so after the season finale, I need something to do with my time. Here's a little AU Klaine for you. "If Kurt and Blaine had met in the coffee shop instead..." I'm thinking of setting it a year ahead, but I'll get into that later. If you like it, please, please, please review.
The tinkling of a bell overhead alerted Kurt that someone had walked into the coffee shop. He looked up from his place behind the bar and smiled, just as he had been taught. The boy walking in was wearing a school uniform from Dalton Academy. He had heard about it before; it was pretty fancy, from the way everyone talked about it. The boy himself was rather attractive, with his dark, slicked back curls and bright eyes. He smiled back at Kurt, locking eyes with him instantly. Kurt was a little ashamed that he had to remind himself to breath.
Bright Eyes walked right up to the counter, already slipping his wallet out of his pocket. "One medium-drip." he said, pulling out the appropriate change instantly. Apparently it was not his first time here.
"Coming right up." Kurt said, setting to work. It had been a pretty quiet day, which was unusual. It was right after school; a time that was usually their busiest. There were only three people in the shop at the moment, and only two people had come in, gotten their coffee, and left.
He turned back to the front, setting the hot cup in front of Bright Eyes and smiling. "There you go." he said, taking the money and ringing him up.
"I haven't seen you here before." he commented, watching Kurt with a small smile on his face.
Kurt felt a familiar blush creep across his cheeks as he smiled in return. "I usually work a later shift." he informed him with a shrug.
"Well, it was nice to meet you..." he trailed off, looking at him inquisitively.
"Kurt," he supplied automatically.
Bright Eyes smiled. "Kurt. Maybe you'll be here tomorrow." And with that he picked up his cup and left.
Kurt was definitely considering changing shifts.
