A/N I decided to update again today because I already had the second chapter written. I'm grateful for any and all reviews and I hope you enjoy.

Chap 2

As soon as Kurt had finished his classes the next day, he immediately went to the little bookstore. He opened to door to find Blaine helping a customer at the counter. Kurt quietly browsed through through the shelves while Blaine finished. "Back again I see," a voice said from behind him. Kurt jumped, dropping the book he was holding and turned around to face Blaine. Blaine bent down to pick up the book and put it back in its proper spot.

"I told you I would," Kurt said with a smile.

"Still, I'm glad you came Kurt," Blaine said, "I'll go get your book for you."

Blaine pulled the book back out from under the counter and handed it to Kurt, "There's an armchair over in that corner if you'd like to use it," Blaine offered. Kurt thanked the other man, curled up in the armchair, and began to read his book. He only had time to read one chapter, seeing as he had promised to help Rachel prepare for her audition. When he finished the chapter he reluctantly went back up to the counter to find Blaine.

"So, how do you like it so far," the curly haired man asked when Kurt handed him back the book.

"I love it, especially the main character. He seems really adorable and kind. I only got to read one chapter, but I can't wait to come back again," Kurt said excitedly, "That is if it's okay with you."

Blaine grinned, "Come back as often as you want."

Kurt smiled back, lingering at the counter, not wanting to leave just yet.

"So why do you have to leave so early?" Blaine asked.

"I'd love to stay, but Rachel made me promise to be home at five to help her practice for her audition," Kurt said with a sigh.

"Rachel... Is she your girlfriend?" Blaine asked quietly, avoiding Kurt's eyes.

"No," Kurt laughed, "She's my best friend and roommate. You see, that's one of the reasons that book appealed to me. It's the first love story I've read about a gay couple, people like me," he blushed, staring at his feet.

"Yeah," Blaine said gazing at Kurt, "Me too,"

Kurt looked back up at the shorter man, "I really like this bookstore by the way."

"Thanks," Blaine said beaming at him, "So do I. It's my first place, I only opened up a few weeks ago."

"Interesting name," Kurt said with a grin.

"Yeah, back in high school, I was known for my love of bow ties, so it seemed fitting."

"Oh really, I didn't peg you as the bow tie sort of guy," Kurt teased raising his eyebrows.

"Trust me," Blaine laughed, "I am woefully nerdy."

"Good to know," Kurt said, "but I really do have to go, Rachel's going to kill me for taking this long already. I hope to see you again tomorrow my nerdy little friend," with that he walked out of the little bookstore and back onto the streets of New York.

Blaine watched him go, looking back down at the book Kurt had returned to him, "Courage" under that the author's name read as "Anderson". It was still weird for him to read his name like that, it sounded so formal. Another customer opened the door, and Blaine sighed as he put the book away. He helped the customer, but the whole time he couldn't keep his mind from a certain blue-eyed boy.
