Chapter 2: Coffee conversation.

The rest of the day was slow and annoying. Blaine usually enjoyed school but now he just wanted it to end. He couldn't focus on the subject anyway so it was all just a waste of precious time to see Kurt and find a reason to talk to him. Eventually school ended and Blaine rushed over to the classroom he had found Kurt in this morning and as he hoped, Kurt was in there. He turned around by the sound of footsteps and raised his eyebrows when he saw Blaine.

"Hello there, Blaine. What are you doing here?" Kurt asked. Blaine frowned, he actually didn't think about a reason to see him.

"I… Uh-"

"Was someone bothering you, again?" Kurt frowned.

"What? No! I mean, yes. They do all the time but that's… that's not why I came here." Blaine admitted and stared down at his shoes for a second.

"Then what is it?"

"I uh…" Blaine blushed and panicked, which made him say the first thing that came to his mind. "I thought maybe we could have coffee together!" He almost snapped. Kurt raised both his eyebrows and looked surprised.

"We should have coffee together?" He grinned now.

"Y-Yeah. Not as a date though! Absolutely not, I mean like… you could give me some advice on how to deal with high school and stuff." Blaine talked so fast it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying.

"Okay, sure. How about now at The Lima Bean?" Kurt suggested, grinning even wider. Blaine frowned, he was so surprised that Kurt even agreed with that.

"Wait, you want to?" He asked, shocked.

"Of course, I don't have anything special to do anyway." Kurt shrugged and smiled. "So, in an hour at The Lima Bean?"

"S-Sure." Blaine said and blushed.

"See you there." Kurt smiled and left the classroom. Blaine stood there, stunned. Was he about to have coffee with Kurt Hummel aka the hottest guy in the world?

Blaine ran out to his car and drove straight back home, he needed to fix his hair and maybe change into a better shirt. He ran inside and into his room, completely ignoring his mother who greeted him hello. In his room he threw out all of his shirts he owned and put them on the bed, glaring at the them. He didn't wanna look like he was dressing up, he just wanted to look handsome without trying too hard. After a good 15 minutes he chose a t-shirt along with his favourite vest and a bowtie. He changed quickly and fixed his hair a little, then he walked down the stairs. His mother raised an eyebrow, noticing that he had changed.

"Where are you going looking that handsome?" She asked.

"I'm gonna have coffee with… a friend." He lied.

"Really? And does this friend have a name?" She said, raising an eyebrow, grinning at him.

"Yes, Kurt." He said simply.

"Really? Well, have fun." She said and winked.

"Mom, it's not a date." Blaine said truthfully.

"Yeah, of course not." She said, not believing him.

"Why do I even try? Bye mom." He said and left the house. He sat down in the car, but he remained still. He couldn't manage to start driving. He got nervous and froze, he was having coffee with Kurt, not one of his friends. This was… special, at least to him. He didn't wanna mess it up and seem like a weirdo. He inhaled and exhaled deeply as he slowly drove off, he glanced at his watch and realized that he was gonna be early so he drove slower than he should be. Annoyed drivers shouted at him and passed him with a bitch glare but Blaine couldn't care less, he didn't wanna seem desperate.

Once he finally reached The Lima Bean he was 10 minutes early, it was fine. He got out of the car and walked inside the small coffee shop. To his surprise he found Kurt, sitting at one of the tables already. Blaine raised his eyebrows, how long had he been here? Kurt waved at Blaine and he walked over.

"Am I like… late or something?" Blaine asked.

"No, not at all. I was early. Should we order?" Kurt asked with a smile.

"Yeah, sure." Blaine said and followed Kurt to the desk where a lady stood.

"One Medium drip, please." Blaine said.

"And one nonfat mocha for me." Kurt said. The barista nodded and started making what they ordered. Within a minute they both had a cup of coffee in their hands and sat down towards eachother at their table again.

"Mmmm.." Kurt hummed as he sipped his coffee. "I love coffee." Blaine chuckled a little.

"I can tell." He sipped his own coffee and then put it back on the table.

"So, you wanted to talk about my experience from high school?" Kurt asked.

"Well, yeah." Blaine nodded.

"Well, alright." Kurt moved in his seat, leaning forward a bit. "I was, like I said, awfully bullied. You see, I have always loved fashion, always and I had a bit different style. And they often teased me for that and for my voice, but that was more when I was younger, you know, before you think about if a person are gay or not." Blaine nodded and Kurt continued. "When I got older I discovered that I was gay and did all that I could to push the feeling away and deny it to anyone who got suspicious. Eventually I realized that I couldn't lie to myself anymore, so I told anyone and became open. That's when the actual bullying started. I got beaten up every day, shoved in to lockers, called fag and stuff. It was hard and nobody cared but… I at least wasn't lying anymore, you know?"

"Yes, I know." Blaine said understanding and nodded. "It's the same for me. Exactly the same. And for the record, I love your style. It's very odd but in a good way and so is your voice. I bet they were just jelous they wouldn't be able to pull it off as well." Kurt laughed at that, Blaine was stunned, it was the most gorgeous laugh he had ever heard.

"Maybe." Kurt said and sipped his coffee.

"But, how did you do it? I mean, I try to stay strong but it hurts. It hurts so much and I feel so alone even though I have friends and all… but some days I just wanna hide under the covers in my bed and cry." Blaine looked down at his hands.

"I did too, before. But then… then I met someone." Blaine's head shot right up and looked at Kurt who stared at the air.

"You met someone?" Blaine repeated.

"Yes. I met a guy who became my first boyfriend when I was 17. I loved him with all my heart and he just made everything easier and made life worth living. He was the best thing that's happened to me." Both Kurt and Blaine noticed that this conversation became a bit more private than planned but they didn't bother to care.

"Really?" Blaine asked. "Are you still together?" He had to ask, he just had to.

"No, sadly no." Kurt frowned. "We lasted for a year before he cheated on me with some stupid guy, I believe his name was Sebastian. I heard they are still together." Blaine frowned, it hurted to see the pain in Kurt's eyes. He wanted to take his hand so badly and- Wait, what?

"Well, then he was an asshole. Don't bother thinking about him, when the time is right you will find the one." Blaine said. Kurt smiled.

"Yeah, it just… it hurts, you know? I gave him my everything. He gave me my first kiss, took my virginity and we made promises. And he just walked right over that and cheated, I was devestated for months after that. I just couldn't believe he would do that. And it made me feel so stupid…"

"You're not stupid. You are a teacher, you're smart. And I'm sorry." Blaine said and then continued. "But you know what they say. 'Never regret something that once made you smile.' Or something like that." Kurt chuckled.

"Thank you, Blaine. Sorry if I'm dropping all my shit on you right now."

"No, it's okay, really. I don't mind." Blaine said truthfully. Kurt smiled again.

"You know, it's the first time I've ever had coffee with my student." Kurt said.

"Oh, really? I'm honored." Blaine joked.

"You should be, I liked it. I might do it again. It's a great way to get to know them and then it's easier to teach them, when you know what helps them the most. Connection, you know?"

"Yeah, I know. You say 'you know' alot." Blaine chuckled.

"I know! It's a thing… I don't know why I do that." Kurt shaked his head and laughed at himself. They became quiet for a minute but it wasn't awkward, it was comfortable.

"I heard you are in Glee club." Kurt said and smirked.

"I am." Blaine nodded.

"I was too, in high school. I loved it."

"You can sing?"

"You bet I can! I even got accepted into NYADA." Blaine's jaw dropped.

"NYADA?! Why the hell are you here then? Sorry, not to be rude, but NYADA is… NAYDA!"

"I know, I wanted to go but I couldn't afford living in New York. That's why I became a teacher here instead."

"Oh, I'm sorry.." Blaine felt ashamed for that he had just said. It was kinda rude.

"No, it's fine. But back to the subject, yes I can sing. But I can't play any instruments though."

"Really? I can."

"Really? What instrument?"

"Uh… guitar, piano, drums, violin, flute-"

"Woah, that's alot!" Kurt interrupted. "I've always wanted to be able to play the guitar."

"I could… uh, I could teach you sometime." Blaine said. By now he had completely forgot it was his teacher he was having a conversation with, it felt like a friend, or even a date.

"Really? I'd love that!" Kurt squealed and jumped in his seat with excitement. Blaine chuckled. No, Kurt Hummel. You wouldn't love that. You are basically doing everything you shouldn't be doing. If you are smart you are excusing yourself to leave this coffee conversation or whatever it is, apologizing the next day and then you continue teaching, nothing else! Kurt ignored the voice in his head who had been a pain in the ass since this morning.

"Awesome! I have a guitar at home, you could come over when you have the time and I could teach you." Blaine suggested. Kurt suddenly frowned.

"But, I barely have any sparetime, Blaine. I have to make homeworks, tests and deal with that stuff and it's alot of shit to do."

"Maybe I could help you with that?" Blaine suggested, desperate to make this possible.

"Really? But doesn't that effect your school work?"

"Please, I have A in every single subject. No need to worry." Blaine smirked. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"You're not shy, Anderson." He said.

"No. I'm not." Kurt rolled his eyes again and looked at his watch.

"I think I better get going. It was nice to talk to you, Blaine. See you in class." He said and got up from his seat.

"It was nice talking to you too. And yeah, see you in class." Blaine said, smiling. Kurt returned the smile before he left.
