AN: Short update again. Urgh. Enjoy the chapter. We get to some good stuff tomorrow.

Chapter 17

They woke the next morning to the sound of the theme from Cinderella playing on repeat. Blaine groaned and grabbed the remote to turn it off. Kurt stretched out on their makeshift bed, yawning.

Blaine looked over and smiled. "Still tired baby?"

Kurt gave him a sleepy smile. "Yeah. Coffee?"

Blaine chuckled and stood up. He went into the kitchen and started coffee brewing, listening as he heard Kurt get up and start putting the pillows and blankets away. When the coffee finished, he poured two cups and brought them out to Kurt. Kurt took a sip and then gave him a kiss.

"I love you." Kurt said, looking at the coffee.

Blaine grinned and pretended Kurt had meant him. "Love you too babe. I'm going to take a quick shower down here. You shower upstairs and we can start shopping. Okay?"

Kurt blushed when he heard his boyfriend respond to his coffee-induced love. "Yeah hon. Sounds good."

The boys separated and showered quickly, meeting back up in Kurt's room to get dressed. Caffeinated and bathed, the two headed out to shop.

Kurt drove them to a thrift store near the Lima Bean. Pulling into the parking lot, he said to Blaine. "I know I saw the perfect shirt the other day. Hopefully this won't take long and we can get to the Lima Bean before noon so they have those scones you like."

Blaine grinned at the thought. "Sounds good. And you'll need to eat something too. We didn't eat at the house and two cups of coffee with no food is too much."

Kurt huffed out a sigh but agreed quickly, wanting to get in the store. "Yes Blaine. Now can we go?"

Blaine laughed at his impatience but got out of the car quickly and followed Kurt into the store. He watched as his boyfriend nimbly dodged around other shoppers and headed into the women's shirts aisle. He stood at the end of the row and watched as Kurt moved shirt after shirt past him before stopping with a light gasp. "It's perfect."

Kurt pulled a shirt off the rack. The shirt itself had many colors on it, fitting with Mercedes' overall style and Blaine could see some of the stripes perfectly matched the color of her new shoes. "Nice. That's all you're getting?"

Kurt nodded. "Yeah. It's pretty cheap here but I'm almost over budget for the month. No more shopping for myself 'til after the holidays." As he explained, he pulled Blaine to the register with him.

The cashier swiped the tag and took Kurt's card, quickly charging the shirt and bagging it. The two boys left the store about fifteen minutes after they left it. "A new record for you." Blaine teased as they got back in Kurt's car.

Kurt stuck his tongue out at Blaine before driving them over to the Lima Bean. They got out and entered. Blaine pushed Kurt lightly towards their table, commenting. "It's my turn to pay. I'll get you one of those muffins you like."

Kurt agreed and headed over to their table, sitting down in the chair facing the door and the register so he could watch Blaine.

Blaine noticed Kurt watching and started making silly faces at him. Kurt laughed at his boyfriend's silliness. Blaine reached the front of the line and turned to talk to the cashier.

The bell over the door sounded and Kurt watched as someone walked in. To his dismay, he found it was Sebastian.

Sebastian took in the sight of Blaine, eyeing him up and down before quickly looking around the store for Kurt, knowing that if one was there, so was the other.

He smirked when he saw Kurt was glaring at him and he sauntered over. "Well, look at who's here. It's gay face." Kurt grit his teeth and glared, determined to not say anything until Blaine got to their table.

AN: Sorry it's so short and rushed. I had a 15 minute period in which to write this all day because I was around people the rest of the time. Next chapter (fingers crossed) should be better.
