Blaine felt the music flowing up through his fingers and his feet where they met with the piano. It didn't always happen but whenever he was involved in an emotional piece or when he was feeling something intensely it would always come through in the way he felt the music. Absorbed in the emotion of the John Lennon tune as he was, he was also aware of the obvious reaction of the performer, Marcus. Standing to Blaine's side with his hand resting on the top of the piano lid absorbed in his own emotional experience. The bubble that the two performers had existed in during that intense performance burst when Marcus' sudden change of expression caused Blaine to turn to see the cause.
A vision of irate perfection stood in the doorway with a sharp look focused at Marcus. Blaine couldn't believe that he had missed noticing someone that looked as stunning as the fair skinned boy before him. He shook himself out of his fixated gaze when Marcus and this new boy began speaking about some girl named Mercedes. It was obviously a personal conversation with the gorgeous boy seeming very protective and attached to this girl. Trying to be polite and subtle, Blaine gathered up the music sheets and acknowledged Marcus' farewell before the two boys left the room still in tense communication. Blaine paused briefly on the piano stool collecting his scattered thoughts and trying to bring himself back to reality, it wouldn't do any good to start dreaming about another unattainable, uninterested guy. That would be asking for all sorts of trouble.

Sitting in the driver's seat of his car, Blaine drifted out of yet another day dream of this boy who had inconveniently taken residence in his imagination since the day he had seen him at Haverbrook. It seemed entirely fruitless to continue entertaining these thoughts, but it was beyond his powers to be able to stop.
The bell above the door jingled as Blaine entered the café for the first time, it had been suggested by some of the music students he had met at Haverbrook. Scanning the room, checking the layout and glancing over the other customers present, Blaine was surprised to spot a friendly face and stepped in his direction to greet him. Approaching the table he couldn't believe his eyes when they fell on the boy who had been haunting his day dreams. He was in conversation with several unrecognized faces and the one familiar face of Marcus. Blaine caught Marcus' eye and the table's attention turned to take in the new face. Introductions were made and Blaine shared a warm smile with everyone at the table, feeling his eyes drawn back to the fair skinned boy who he now knew to be Kurt. After a few minutes of smalltalk Blaine noticed the counter line had diminished, sharing a final smile and regretful farewell with the group who looked so cozy crowded into the booth seat. While waiting for his order he took subtle looks over at the table again, observing that Marcus and Kurt now seemed on good terms, but that Kurt was obviously very cozy with his girlfriend Mercedes, which made his heart sink somewhat.
As he walked out the door with his filled coffee order a couple of moments later, Blaine's inner voice continued to verbally abuse the idealistic side of himself for falling for another straight guy. 'Your track record really sucks Blaine. Can't believe you're so stupid falling for another guy you can't have….'
