Even as the kids in his class were singing their hearts out, all Blaine could think about was letting the class out early. It's been a whole year now since Kurt got Blaine a job as one of the music professors at the same college Kurt works at; and Blaine was loving every single moment of it. But at this point it was Wednesday. Hump day. Which meant in 5 minutes Kurt's musical theater class would be getting out, and the two men would be on their way to their tri-weekly lunch session. He couldn't put his finger on why, but Kurt made him happy. Just being around this friend of his brought out the best in Blaine. He couldn't take it anymore. He decided to let the class go early.

"Ok guys, you sounded beautiful. We'll finish up our lesson on Friday." Blaine said. "And to all the people auditioning for solos don't forget to have your song prepared."

The class full of young students started to file out of the lecture hall one by one.

"Excuse me, Professor Anderson?" said one of the female pupils.

Without taking his eyes off his briefcase he answered "Yes, Emma?"

"Um. Well I was just wondering if there was any chance you would already know who you have in mind for the big solo?" The girl said with a smile.

Finally looking up from what he was doing Blaine gave Emma a long, deep look over. "You know what, Emma. You remind me of a girl I used to know in high school. She was -"

"Very beautiful?"

"Um, well I was going to say she was very...headstrong."

"A wonderful quality to have. I admire her already."

"Haha, well to answer your question. No I'm not quite sure yet who I'm going to pick. I like to wait until after the auditions to think about it." Blaine said with his usual kind smile.

"Ok, well I just wanted to remind you once again that I will be auditioning. I just want to make sure you don't forget. Have a wonderful day Professor!" and with that the girl sashayed away.

Blaine chuckled a little to himself. He couldn't get over how much Emma reminded him of Rachel. If Rachel were a little bit older Emma could very likely be her daughter.

"Knock, knock, can I speak with you Professor?" said a voice by the open door.

Blaine looked up to see who was addressing him. "Kurt." He said with a smile. "How did I know it was you?"

"Was it my sultry voice that gave it away?" Kurt joked.

"Haha maybe." Blaine replied. "By the way you're early."

"I know. I decided to let my class out a little early today. It was a long day of dancing so I figured they deserved the extra 10 minutes to themselves."

"Well wasn't that nice of you." Blaine said as he approached Kurt.

"I know I know. I'm just full of generosity. You need not say more. Haha so where would you like to eat today Professor Anderson?" Kurt said with a mischievous smile.

"Hmm. I'm in the mood for seafood." Blaine said.

Xxx

"Hi welcome to Café Frutos Do Mar can I start you off with some drinks?" the waitress asked.

"Hi I'll have white Pinot Noir." Kurt said in a nonchalant fashion.

"Wine, Kurt?" Blaine asked.

"Oh yes. It goes great with seafood." Kurt replied.

"Hmm ok then. I'll have the same."

"Ok wonderful choices. I'll be right back with your drinks." said the waitress.

"So, Blaine" Kurt said once the waitress was gone. "This is a really elegant place you found. It's somewhere I would take a date."

"It is elegant isn't it?" Blaine said.

"Yeah, I think so." Kurt flashed a shy smile.

"Hmm that's funny. I just came here because I knew they had good food." Blaine smiled.

But just as quickly as Blaine's smile appeared, Kurt's disappeared.

Kurt cleared his throat and asked. "So, you're still single right?"

"Yup. No one has really come around." Blaine answered.

The waitressed returned with their drinks and took their orders.

"So by 'hasn't really come around' you mean?" Kurt said

"Just that there's no guys that I hang around with that A: are gay and B: are single."

Kurt nibbled on his own bottom lip a little to keep from screaming "I'M HERE! I'M SINGLE! I'M GAY!"

"Not one?" Kurt inquired.

"Nope." Blaine obliviously answered.

Kurt had known Blaine since Blaine's sophomore year of high school, and if there was one thing he was sure of, it was that Blaine was the worst at noticing when he was being hit on. Kurt changed the topic and the pair continued on with lunch as usual, but he was not going to let Blaine off that easy.
