"Ooh what about that one?" Blaine asks as Kurt scrolls through listings on his laptop as they sit on their bed. The two of them had moved out of the loft shortly after their wedding. Well Blaine had moved out long before that, after a particularly viscous fight deciding that it was better that the two of them lived apart while they thought things over. Luckily they had reconciled, gotten married and were now living together. However, both of them agreed that as a married couple, they did want a bigger place to live, Currently they were living in an apartment that they were subletting from one of Blaine's former coworkers, the woman moving to be closer to her grandchildren but having no problem with Blaine and Kurt living there as long as they pay the rent on time. Kurt looks at the loft that Blaine pointed out, scrunching his nose.

"Two bedrooms and bathroom seem nice but look at that price. We'd both have to work 24 hour days to afford it." Blaine looks at that price before sighing, begrudgingly agreeing with his husband. Every place they had looked at that had most everything they wanted was almost all out of their price range. The pair had agreed that they wanted to live in the center of New York City to be close to Kurt's job at Vogue and Blaine's job at his dad's consulting firm but that was looking to be an impossible task. His dad had offered to make up the difference, a proposal Blaine was sure his mom had come up with to get the two men closer. However he hadn't told Kurt about that yet knowing how proud the older man was, not wanting to accept help especially from his dad who had just recently reappeared in their lives.

Kurt bites his lip as he looks at his husband who had turned the computer to himself as he typed out a few things. There was something besides the house search that was causing him distress. Isabelle had told him a few weeks ago that Vogue was opening up a new office in Columbus and Isabelle thought that he would make an excellent candidate to be top executive there. There was still a big interview process to go through for him but Isabelle thought that he had a real good shot of being one of the youngest executives in Vogue. Kurt was honestly excited at the prospect. Not only was he going to be an executive in charge of actual decisions at Vogue but he would be living close to his childhood home. Yes this would mean that he would have to finally put an end to his Broadway dream but Kurt wasn't as upset as he thought he would be as he had stopped auditioning a while ago. There was one more snag to his plan though. Blaine. Kurt couldn't bring himself to tell Blaine all of this. The younger man had dropped everything before for him, first switching schools and then moving to New York to be with him. Kurt didn't think he could ask him to do it a third time especially because Blaine had a job and a life here. Blaine smiles triumphantly, finding a place finally before turning the laptop back to Kurt,

"Ok what about this one? I know it's kind of pricey but it seems great."

Kurt sighs as he begins to tell Blaine they can't afford yet another one of these houses before he stops and actually looks at the screen. The location reads Columbus, Ohio. Mouth gaping Kurt looks at his husband in shock as Blaine just smiles at the look on his husbands face. "How did you, what, how did, how?"

"You're my husband, I always know when something's up." Blaine takes a moment to appreciate the look of surprise on Kurt's face before smiling. "Plus Isabelle called about a week ago and left a message for you saying that they had hit a snag on the development of the new branch so things might be pushed out by a month but if you were still interested she would set up a meeting with the board for your interview."

Kurt finally closes his mouth as he looks at his husband with tears in his eyes. Blaine smiles softly as he leans forward and places his hand over Kurt's. "Hey listen I love you and I would do anything for you. Do I wish you had told me? Yes but I know why you did it. But I mean we do have the lease on this place for six more months so we have time to think about it. Also I hate to be the one to tell you but you're kind of stuck with me. If Vogue offered you a job in Sicily I would be learning Italian right now just to make you happy. Plus you know my parents are already on board. My mom asked me how soon we could get back there and my dad told me he would have a job waiting for me at his branch in Ohio. So I would hate to disappoint them."

Kurt laughs as he leans over to kiss him. "I love you."

Blaine smiles and kisses him back. "I know." He turns himself around so he leaning up against the pillows and puts the laptop on his lap. "Now come on we have places to look at."

Kurt laughs again as he lies down next to Blaine.

Tina doesn't look up from her paper as the front door to her apartment opens.

"You know you have your own place right?"

"Yes but yours is so much closer." Mike laughs as he comes into view of her. He grabs a banana as he leans against her counter top looking at her. After his stint as choreographer and dancer on Mercedes world tour he had received offers to teach and dance from a wide variety of places. Most of them were in New York so had moved from Chicago to New York. Currently he was a dance instructor at a studio where he taught a wide variety of dances from salsa to hip hop while still dancing on the weekends. Tina had moved to New York the year prior to get her masters. After completing her undergraduate at Brown and reflecting on her high school experience she had decided to become a teacher and was currently in her second and final year of the NYU grad program.

"Tired?" Tina finally looks up to get a good look at Mike. Mike just nods as he finishes his banana before walking over to her and leaning on to her shoulder causing her to laugh as she slaps his chest yelling that he's all sweaty. Laughing he takes his shirt off and throws it on her couch before going to take a shower. Soon after they had got back together at Kurt and Blaine's wedding they had discovered that Tina's place was closer to the studio than Mike's. As such Mike would typically head over to Tina's after work and on particularly long and exhausting days would shower and spend the night, leading to half of his clothes ending up at her apartment. Tina finishes her paper and goes to heat up some microwave dinners as she waits for Mike. She knows he hates them, as does she but with classes starting to pile up this week she didn't have time to cook or get take out as she had during the summer. Mike steps out of the shower freshly energized as he walks back in and smiles gratefully at her before collapsing at a seat at the table. Tina smiles back at him as she sits across the table.

"You know if we lived together you could just have all your stuff here instead of having to go constantly back and forth."

Mike chokes on his reheated chicken as he looks up at Tina who had simply just gone back to eating her dinner. He clears his throat as he grabs a tissue.

"You're saying that you want me to move in with you?"

Tina shrugs. "I'm just saying that would make your life easier. Although I'm pretty sure both our parents would prefer that we were married or engaged so maybe not for a while."

Mike nods along with her. Tina didn't have to know about the ring box shoved deep in his drawer.

"You know, you've calmed down a lot since high school."

Tina looks at him with an arched brow. "I would imagine so considering I've graduated college."

Mike just raises his hands in mock surrender and laughs as they go back to eating, a comfortable silence falling over the two.

Despite the fact that he had his father and brother's DNA in him Jake Puckerman was not an expert in dealing with crazy. Yet somehow, agreeing to room with Kitty had ensured that he would have to be. Currently he was sitting on his couch watching as she paced around the kitchen, holding a butter knife. Jake was not sure where that butter knife had come from as best to his knowledge, Kitty hadn't actually been cooking before she had started ranting to him.

"Should I call Mike? Or Sam? Or Blaine?"

Kitty stops her pacing to glare at him.

"I am not Tina level crazy right now." She practically yells as Jake blinks at her.

"No because Tina never paced around my kitchen holding a knife because her boyfriend had to cancel one date before." Jake deadpans as Kitty apparently finally realizes she's holding a knife. Sighing she drops the knife and sits next to him.

"Ok point taken but it's not just the cancelled date. Lately he seems to be too busy. I mean I know I shouldn't worry, I'm busy too but," She pauses as she leans back against the couch and groans, "And also the fact that he still wants our relationship to be a secret. Maybe it's me you know? I mean I know things were awkward for us for a little bit when you and I first moved to New York after our breakup but lately it seemed that we were doing well and I don't know." She groans as she trails off so Jake figures that he should but in. He snaps his fingers so Kitty focuses on him.

"Ok first off you Katherine Wilde are a bag full of crazy but you are still amazing. Second of all maybe you should, I don't know, talk to him about all this. I know I'm not Artie's biggest fan especially after you know but I do know he is crazy about you. I'm sure if you talk to him, everything will be ok."

Kitty smiles as she hugs Jake. "You know Puckerman you're right. I'll just talk to him." She then leaps up and claps her hands. "Alright I know you have nothing to do tonight so I'm declaring it a roommate's night in. Order Chinese and I'll get the movie. I'm thinking Legally blonde."

She bounces off to her room smiling as Jake groans. He should have burned that movie when he had the chance.

Sugar didn't understand why out of all the places her friend could go two days before her wedding, she had wanted to go to a bar in Des Moines, Iowa. However she had, telling her friend excitedly that they could get free drinks and live music. So here Sugar was in a bar in Iowa getting drunk with her best friends on the eve of her friend's wedding. The microphone in the corner of the room crackled as it came to life signifying that the live music was about to start as Sugar and her friends turned their attention to the stage. The bartender jumps on to the stage and grabs the music.

"Good evening folks and welcome to the Golden Mile. Every Friday as many of you know is open mic night here. Our first performer is a regular whom I'm sure many of you know."

He kept talking but Sugar tuned him out her eyes focused on the man standing next to him awkwardly, his guitar in one hand. He had cut off his dreads but she would recognize Joe Hart anywhere. The man smiles as the bartender steps aside after introducing him and he sits on the stool given to the performers. His eyes scan the room as he smiles before his breath hitches as he spots Sugar. Just as quickly he recovers as he moves past her still smiling before bringing the microphone down to his level.

"Uhh good evening ladies and gentlemen and thank you for obviously coming to hear me sing and not for the free beers." He pauses as the audience laughs. He says that line every time he performs at this bar and every time it gets a laugh. "This song is about lost love, so hope you guys like it."

(Eric Ethridge-If You Met Me First)

Why do you look at me like that?
Your eyes saying things that they can't take back
Feels good, feels right, it don't help
Every night when the quiet gets loud
Hate that I know what you're doin' right now
Your arms around someone else

Every time I'm next to you
I swear that you can feel it too
How long can we do this to ourselves?

In a different place and time
Maybe in another life
I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
We never get the chance to try
And what makes it worse
Is you would have loved me
If you met me first

I can't even count all the times I've thought
About the line I'd never cross
But I've crossed that line in my head
I can't steal you from somebody else
Just to have you to myself

My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth

I'm not hangin' on to hope
If you do or if you don't
I don't ever wanna know for sure

'Cause you would have loved me
If you met me first

Oh, you would have loved me
If you met me first

Joe finishes and takes a minute to listen to the audience yell and cheer. Sugar shouts possibly, in her mind, the loudest. Her friend says something so she turns around to hear what she said. When she turns around she tries to find Joe again but to her disappointment he had already left. Frowning she turns to her friends sure she'll see him before she leaves tomorrow.
