Kurt Hummel had successfully survived his first week in New York City by himself. Just like they had planned his dad had come up on Saturday and dropped off the rest of his things, then his dad took him out to get some actual furniture. He now had a very stylish couch, bed, dresser, small dining table, coffee table, and a closet. His dad had brought him down a special surprise; a TV! Kurt could now relax on his fabulous new couch and watch old episodes of Gossip Girl whenever he wanted to. Even though his new life in the city was going great there were still two concerns on his mind. The first: he still needed a job. And second: Blaine.
Blaine Anderson. Although Kurt had only known him for about six hours or so (it may have been shorter Kurt couldn't really remember because he couldn't keep track of time whilst he was with him) he had still haunted Kurt's mind for this past week. But unfortunately even if Kurt wanted to see him, he couldn't, he didn't have any way of contacting other than the hope he may be at NYADA next year, but that was no good. That small hope that they may be going to the same school in a year was what Kurt was holding on to.
Kurt was now in his apartment on Wednesday night, it had just turned eight and he was still sat in the same position on his couch that he had been in all day. All day he had been watching Gossip Girl and eating food. He thought he better go out and do something, because he was getting quite bored with his current activity. Kurt then leaped off of his couch and grabbed his jacket, did a quick mirror check and left his apartment locking the door behind him.
He exited his apartment building and began walking along the street looking for a place to go to entertain himself. Kurt really loved the location of his apartment there was plenty of shops, restaurants and everything around him. He came across an artsy looking coffee shop and looked up at the sign above the door that read: Callbacks. Kurt decided to go in and see how it was. The place was quite full but not too full for him to want to leave. He walked over to a small lounge chair on the right side of the building, took off his coat and sat down. He noticed a small, delicate menu on the table and picked it up and began scanning the page.
"Can I interest you in anything tonight?" a waitress had popped up beside Kurt and eagerly asked for his order.
"Um yes," He gave the menu one last glance and placed in back down on the table. "I'll have a Grande non-fat mocha and a mint chocolate biscotti, please."
She scribbled his order down on her small writing pad, "I'll bring it right over," Kurt watched as the waitress walked away to behind the coffee bar and she began making his order.
Kurt began to look around the coffee shop and saw a small stage on the left side of the shop. He figured they occasionally have musical guest here to perform, that's why there is usually stages in places like this.
"Here you go," the waitress said as she placed down a mug and a small place containing Kurt's biscotti.
"Thank you," he murmured. Kurt just sat there in silence for a moment, sipping his coffee and nibbling his biscotti.
"Ok everyone! Thanks for coming out tonight, my name is Blaine Anderson and it's my pleasure to perform for you all this evening!" Kurt almost spit his coffee all over the place, but thankfully held it in. At the sound of his name Kurt was completely shocked and his heart was now racing. He whipped his head around to the stage to see Blaine. And there he was cute as ever, with his amber eyes sparkling away.
Kurt gazed at Blaine from across the shop, and unsure if Blaine had seen him, but he secretly hoped he had. Blaine had begun to sing, he started off his set list with Young the Giant's Cough Syrup.
"Wow," Kurt thought, "he sounds amazing.". Kurt was swooning over Blaine from across the shop. And as much as he was enjoying his performance he just hoped that his set list wouldn't be too long so that he could have a chance to talk to him before it got too late.
Blaine's set list continued for about another hour featuring songs such as: Teenage Dream, F**kin Perfect, Last Friday Night, Animal, Don't You Want Me and various others. Kurt's personal favorite of the night was Teenage Dream. It had just turned ten, and Kurt didn't want to be out much later but fortunately Blaine made an announcement.
"Sorry, everyone but it seems as though it is the end of my time slot, and I am done for the night. Thank you so much though, you've all been a great audience!" The crowd cheered for Blaine and Kurt joined in willingly. Blaine then left the stage and made his way towards the coffee bar and took a seat and he ordered something. Kurt saw this as his chance to go over and talk to him. He got up from his seat and walked over to the bar.
Blaine's back was to Kurt and Kurt sincerely tapped him on the shoulder, and Blaine turned around to see who had tapped him.
"Oh my god Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed and got up and wrapped his arms around Kurt in a warm embrace, which surprised Kurt but he returned the hug.
"I didn't think you would remember me," Kurt admitted as they broke apart from their hug.
"Of course I did!" Blaine said with an adorable smile and Kurt smiled back. "So how's New York treating you? Here sit," Blaine gestured to the bar seat beside him.
Kurt sat down, "It's going great actually, I've settled into my apartment and having lots of fun."
"I'm glad to hear,"
"How about you?" Kurt was surprised by his nervousness, he's usually quite confident but around Blaine everything was different.
"Uh, it's going alright my friend's apartment is not that great and I have to sleep on a couch every night, but it's doable. I've had a show at this place last week on a whim, and they loved me and booked me for the whole summer. I perform every Wednesday, Friday and Monday. And they pay me!"
"Blaine, that's amazing." Kurt said and was very happy for his new friend.
"Yeah, I really love it, and I've only done two shows!" He let out a small giggle.
Kurt looked into Blaine's amber eyes and was mesmerized. He then noticed that Blaine's coffee had arrived and Blaine began to sip it. The two talked for about an hour and had a really great time; it was just like the train ride, which made Kurt smile to think about.
Blaine then looked at his watch and realized it was just past eleven, "Oh Kurt, I'm sorry as much as I love talking to you I should probably get going," Blaine hopped off of his stool and began to put his jacket on.
"Oh yeah, I should probably get going to," Kurt said awkwardly putting on his jacket as well.
The two walked over to the exit together and stood outside awkwardly until one of them said something.
"So listen, maybe we could get a drink, or have dinner sometime?" Blaine asked shyly looking up at Kurt and scrunching his face slightly.
Kurt was completely surprised but also completely ecstatic and he tried to hide those emotions and answered calmly, "Yeah, th-that would be lovely." Kurt felt like an idiot for stuttering.
"Awesome! So, can I get your number or something?" Blaine asked awkwardly, he seemed quite nervous whilst asking this.
"Yeah sure, here you can put yourself in here," Kurt said as he retrieved his iPhone from his coat pocket and handed it to Blaine.
"Here, you can do the same," Blaine did the same as Kurt and handed him his phone. The two both took a moment to put their details into each other's cell phones. Once done, they handed them back to their owners. "Great! I'll text you or something, sometime this week, or something." Kurt thought it was adorable how awkward and shy Blaine was being.
"I'll look forward to it," Kurt said with a smile. "Bye Blaine,"
"See you Kurt," Blaine turned right and walked away from the coffee shop and Kurt went to the left.
Kurt was unbelievably excited to have his date with Blaine. He was also very relieved that Blaine was also gay, well at least he thought seeing as he just asked him on a date.
"Best first week ever!" Kurt squealed to himself as he made his way back to his apartment.
