Chapter 2

"So, Blaine is everyone on your floor accountants?" Kurt asked, he and Blaine were walking the 10th floor of the building which is where Blaine and all the accountants resided. "yup, considering this is the accounting division" Blaine turned and gave Kurt a good natured smile. "ha right of course" Kurt laughed nervously as Blaine continued to show him around. Kurt wasn't exactly the "office" type but he always excelled in math and French in high school and considering the fact that he's been learning French since he was 12, putting his math skills to good use this summer had to be better than sitting in a small, hot classroom all day taking summer French classes learning words and phrases he already knew backwards.

"Over here is the copy room I'm sure you'll get well acquainted with this room and it's lovely gadgets" Blaine said, he thought giving Kurt a tour would be a pain but it actually wasn't bad. "And last but certainly but not least, my office, it's not much-""not much?" Kurt interjected, he walked into the office did a graceful half spin around the room "it's gorgeous! So well decorated and the view is amazing" Kurt went to look out his window taking in the scenery outside "I bet you never want to leave this place" "eh, well it's comfy and it's mine but when you sit in here for 12 hours it's bound to drive you insane" Kurt laughed at this, Blaine never took the time to really appreciate his office, but Kurt's sudden love for it made him take notice. The white and grey color scheme was nice, and the huge wall sized window that sat right behind his desk did bring in good sunlight, when he was given this office after being Figgins personal accountant for 2 years, he and Quinn decorated it together, well, Quinn did most of the decorating he just supervised. It was sort of like their newlywed project, he cherished it. "So are you like the lead accountant here? Because Mr. Figgins seemed to trust you a lot when he informed me of who you were over the phone" Kurt said "well I guess you could say I'm the big man on campus, I'm Figgins personal accountant so I overlook Figgins big accounts and I'm the supervisor to all the other accountants" Blaine said, he stood with his hands in his pockets "oh and don't feel obligated to call Figgins Mr. Figgins, we usually just drop the Mr. when he isn't around" Kurt smiled and nodded. They both stayed in their positions, if this was with any other person this would be boring but Blaine was oddly content with just standing there while Kurt continued to look out the window it felt…calming. "hey Blainers! Did you get that email I sent you I think the Wilson account is- woah!" Sebstain walked in and immediately caught sight of Kurt, Kurt turned and smiled good naturedly, "Blaine, I didn't know you had company" uh oh Blaine thought to himself. Sebastian had his "that's a nice piece of ass" look on his face, he walked over to Kurt "Sebastian Smythe, Blaine's coworker and single best friend" Blaine laughed to himself when Sebastian put emphasis on "single". He held his hand out and Kurt shook it but when he tried to pull away Sebastian firmly held it while looking at him as if he was a piece of meat. "Kurt Hummel pleased to meet you" Kurt said as he managed to pull his hand away, "uh he's the new intern" Blaine said.

"Intern? I didn't know we had interns" Sebastian said, while never taking his eyes off Kurt, Kurt tried not to notice but it was kind of making him uncomfortable. "We didn't until today; Figgins is starting some new program" "and you have the pleasure of showing my boy Kurt around? Some guys get all the luck" My boy? Kurt scoffed to himself, this guy was a grade A sleaze, he had just met him he could already tell. Sebastian continued "well Kurt if you ever get tired of Blainers over here, my office is just two doors down, come by anytime" Sebastian winked sauntered away. Kurt couldn't help but to give a soft smile and roll his eyes, Blaine never asked but he was certain Kurt was gay and the fact that Sebastian had amazing gaydar and basically eye fucked him affirmed it. "Well it's about time for my lunch break, you can come with or stay here, but I gotta warn you the break room isn't that glamorous" Blaine offered.

"Will that Sebastian guy be in the break room?"

"Most likely"

"Let's get out of here"

Blaine couldn't help but laugh, looks like Sebastian's charm didn't work after all.

They both ended going to Breadstix, a familiar place in Lima both knew it very well, Kurt ordered a salad with water and lemon while Blaine ordered salmon with iced tea and of course breadsticks. Blaine wanted to know more about Kurt, he still found it weird that a guy like Kurt would want to intern as an accountant, "So what made you want to intern as an accountant?" Blaine asked, "haha! Do I look that out of place? Figures"

"Well it's just that you look so...artistic"

Kurt smiled "you caught me, I'm actually going to college next year for musical theatre, I decided to intern as an accountant after my senior year because I'm good at math"

"Musical theatre, that's cool, well why didn't you just intern at the Lima theatre camp?"

Kurt's face fell "I, wanted to, but this girl Rachel Berry goes their every summer and she isn't exactly the most tolerable person out there and dealing with her in high school was enough for me"

Blaine laughed "she's that bad huh?"

"Well no don't get me wrong, she's talented and she's nice but she's also very…annoying"

Blaine burst into laughter "yeah I know what you mean I went to an all boys school Dalton Academy and some of the guys there were so full of themselves" Blaine said as he rolled his eyes.

"Dalton Academy! We competed against them! I was in my school's glee club! They were good but we wiped the floor with them" Blaine's embarrassment welled up inside him, secretly he was in Dalton's Glee club but he tried to keep that part of his life behind him, being in glee club wasn't exactly considered cool but he admired that Kurt took pride in it. "yeah I think they were called…the garglers or something like that" Blaine said, acting as if he no idea the name of the glee club, Kurt giggled and said "The Warblers" "right that's it! So what school are you attending next year" said Blaine trying to change the subject.

"NYADA, it's in Manhattan" Kurt's face brightened when he said the name of the school, Blaine could tell he loved what he did very much…too bad he couldn't say the same for himself.

"Wow! Manhattan is intense, are you sure you're ready for that?"

"Absolutely! My dad isn't exactly fond of letting his 19 year old son go frolicking all over one of the biggest cities in the world but he knows it's what I want"

Blaine was a little surprised when he said he was 19, for some he thought he was older but then again, on the way here he did say he had just graduated high school. He envied Kurt's freedom, one of Blaine's biggest regrets was that he never got out of Lima, when he and Quinn were dating they had discussed moving away to somewhere like California so he could pursue music and she could do real estate there, but somewhere along the way Quinn changed her mind and said that their place was here in Lima and that moving to California wasn't "realistic".

"But enough about me, what about you what made you become an accountant?" Kurt asked

Blaine sighed "Well I originally wanted to be involved in the music world but nothing really panned out so I took my minor in accounting and got a job with Figgins, after being a regular accountant, Figgins took note of my acceleration and hired me as his personal accountant"

Kurt's eyebrows rose "oh so you like music, you sing?"

"Yeah but nothing amazing, which is why it never panned out"

Kurt shrugged "you should revisit it someday, things like music stay with you forever and you should never let it go to waste" Blaine knew Kurt was right but Quinn would never let him give up his job to pursue music, "yeah I would love to, I actually have an acoustic guitar, I don't play it that much because my wife likes the house to be silent most of the time but whenever she isn't home I pull it out and play" Kurt smiled "I would love to hear you play sometime, instruments was never my thing but I admire people who play them, unless if you're anything like my brother Finn who bangs his drums incessantly all night" Kurt rolled his eyes.

Blaine laughed and took a sip of his tea; Kurt was nice, he seemed very sure of himself, very comfortable in his own skin, he liked that. And he was a good looking guy for someone so young, those red pouty lips and expressive blue eyes were his most noticeable facial traits, Blaine was just glad he wasn't snobby or annoying like he thought he would be, no he was very mature…and did he mention good looking? After lunch they both went back the office, Blaine went to look at that email Sebastian mentioned and went to look at the details of the big accounting project. Kurt made copies for Blaine a few others while at the same trying to avoid Sebastian's predatory stares every time he passed his office. Hornball Kurt thought, didn't that guy have anything better to do than to stare at him all day? He sat in Blaine's office and Blaine showed him how the company software worked since he'd have to use the computers at some point.

Kurt thought Blaine was great, in a nerdy guy sort of way, they laughed together a lot and considering it was his first day he took that as progress. He was very attractive Kurt thought, he had nice hair, curls that just wouldn't quit and the most adorable smile. And his eyes were to die for, they were hazel but a caramel hazel that sparkled when they hit the sunlight, screw this he's gorgeous Kurt thought to himself, but of course he's straight and married. Why must all this gorgeous good guys be straight! And if they are good looking in Sebastian's case, they're sleazy, Kurt just couldn't win. At around 8 pm Kurt was free to go, he said thank you and goodbye to Figgins and the same to Blaine. On his way out Sebastian cornered him "So Kurt, how about you and me go out this weekend I know this awesome club called Scandals" you got to be kidding me Kurt thought to himself a sketchy gay club? Really? Kurt mustered the friendliest smile he could "As…exciting as that sounds Sebastian, I'm going to have to decline, I have plans this weekend" Sebastian smiled "well how about you come over to my place tonight and I can show you how big my…apartment is" At this point Sebastian just inches away from Kurt's face.

"Tempting. Really. But I have to get up early tomorrow. Sorry." Kurt slipped past him and hurriedly went to his car. This internship better be worth it if I'm going to have to deal with that
