Lemon Cupcakes

"Just a minute!" When the sound of a new customer arriving travelled through to the kitchen at the back of the bakery, Blaine was in the process of placing two baking trays of cookie dough into the oven. He didn't want to leave the warmth and smell of the small space at the back of the store, however he couldn't exactly leave his customers standing idly at the counter either.

Blaine shed his oven gloves, leaving them lying haphazardly on the countertop. He set the timer on the over before making his way back out to the front of the store, spouting out an apology to whoever had been standing waiting on him for five minutes.

"What can I get for... you? H-hi." Swallowing the lump in his throat, Blaine looked up into the beautiful blue eyes in front of him as he took his place behind the register.

"Hi," Kurt replied, smiling brightly at the man's wided eyed gaze, "It's my brother's birthday; what is the sweetest thing in here?"

"That would be you."

Kurt could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks at the comment, gaping at the man behind the counter, not quite sure how he should respond to such a statement.

"I- Oh God, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I um… I just- It just sort of slipped out. I am so sorry sir. I'm just gonna close my eyes," when he raised a hand to cover his honey coloured eyes Kurt couldn't help the small smile that pulled at the corners of his lips, "and you can turn around and walk straight out of here to save you from my stupidity and to save me from further embarrassment."

Kurt let a giggle escape his lips at the goofiness of the man before him.

Spreading his fingers across his face, the man peered through the gaps at Kurt, a look of confusion dancing in his eyes. "You're not running for the hills?"

"Believe it or not, I don't get many compliments from gorgeous men and I do still need something for my brother's birthday. Food's about the only thing that won't disappoint him," Kurt replied with a slight smirk.

"I- right, yes, of course. What can I get for you?" The man forced a nervous smile onto his face.

"For my brother, half a dozen of those delicious looking lemon cupcakes and for me, a grande non-fat mocha and your phone number."

"My- my phone number?"

Kurt continued to simply smile at him and tried to hold in his laughter at how flustered the man in front of him was.

"Right, yeah okay, um I'll- I'll just get that f-for you." Turning towards the coffee machine, he grabbed a pen and shakily wrote out his name - Blaine - and his phone number onto a paper cup, before making the grande non-fat mocha and neatly packing 6 homemade lemon cupcakes into a box.

"How much do I owe you?" Kurt asked when he had his order in hand.

"N-nothing, nothing. It's on the house." Blaine finally seemed able to plaster a genuine smile on his face to direct at Kurt.

"Really?" Kurt felt his heart start to speed up in his chest at sight of this man's- Blaine's smile.

All Blaine could do was nod his head in confirmation.

"Thank you…" Kurt trailed off, looking at the cup in his hand, "Blaine."

And with that he spun on his heel and headed for the door, the delicate ding of the bell in the door frame pulling Blaine from the trance he seemed to be in. He wondered if the scene that had just played out was all in his head.

And then he received a text;

I'm Kurt :)
