It was now Thursday; the day after Kurt had gone to Callbacks only to have run into his new crush Blaine and ended the night with the exchange of numbers and hopes for an upcoming date. Kurt was still filled with the happiness from the previous night. He couldn't wait to get his phone call or text from Blaine.

Kurt hopped out of bed at 9:00am, got ready quickly and had a small breakfast consisting of toast and strawberries. Kurt had decided that today was the day he was going to get his first real job. He considered working at the Lima Bean for a week or so was not counted in the matter. He was unsure of where he was going to go today but he figured that since he loved fashion that it would be a great start for him. Kurt planned to hit all the major fashion headquarters in the city; his first stop: Vogue.

Kurt nibbled his toast and strawberries very quickly and walked over to grab his coat. Just as he was putting it on he heard the familiar ring of his iPhone coming from his dining table where he had left it. Kurt's heart stopped for about a millisecond and without a second to lose Kurt sprinted over to that table and retrieved his phone. He slid the answer back in one quick motion and then said so suavely: "Hello."

"Hi Kurt, its Blaine. I hope I didn't wake you or anything." God he's so sweet. Kurt thought.

"Oh hello Blaine, I'm so happy you called." Kurt said in a cheerful tone, he really meant what he said.

"I'm happy I did too. Anyway, I was just wondering can I ask if you wanted to take me up on my offer to go have dinner?" Blaine asked the question Kurt was dying to hear, he also thought that Blaine sounded a lot more confident than he did last night. He wasn't stuttering or mumbling adorably like he was before.

"Dinner? Sure that would be lovely." Kurt was beaming.

"Awesome, I'll get us a table at Breadstix tonight. Sound good?"

"Yes that would be lovely, I've walked past that place a few times and I've been dying to go."

"Well now you have a reason too," Blaine said flirtatiously, Kurt just about died when he said that, he began to blush.

"I certainly do,"

"So I'll see you tonight at eight!"

"I'm looking forward to it!" And with that they both hung up their phones, beaming with excitement and relief.


Kurt was now wandering the streets of New York in hopes to find a job. He could not be filled with more confidence after his confirmation date with Blaine. Kurt had already hit Gucci but that place was just full of snobs that turned him down. Kurt couldn't have been happier to leave that place.

The sign of the building caught Kurt's eye, he approached the building's door and entered. The inside of the building was very chic and professional looking. Kurt was dying to work here, he walked over to the receptionist's desk (she looked a lot nicer than the one at Gucci).

"Hi, how may I help you today?" The receptionist asked.

"I'm wonderful thank you, I was wondering if you have any job positions available for me, or an internship or anything really?" Kurt asked with a small laugh.

"We certainly do, would you like me to set up an interview for you?"

"That would be lovely." Kurt then waited for a moment while she checked her computer for interviews.

"I can book you in for an interview at 11:30 today with Ms. Wright? She's one of our executive employees here."

"Sounds good," Kurt was ecstatic.

"May I ask your name?" She asked.

"I'm Kurt Hummel,"

"And do you have a resume I can take?"

"I certainly do, here" He grabbed his newly printed resume from his bag and handed it to the woman.

"Wonderful, I'll see you back here at 11:30."

"Thank you, bye!" Kurt skipped out of the office and was so happy. Even if he doesn't get the job he still scored an interview at ! He couldn't wait.

Kurt had about an hour to kill; he figured he would do a little shopping. Since he was in the fashion district he took advantage of this opportunity to buy a new outfit for tonight's date. He picked up a pair of bright new pants, a shirt to go with it, and a fabulous broach to top it off. By the time he had finished it was almost 11:30, so he figured he would head back to the office.

He entered the building with his hands full of bags and walked up to the receptionist once again.

"Hello Mr. Hummel, welcome back. Did some shopping I see?" She asked and let out a small giggle.

"I certainly did," Kurt replied and let out a giggle too.

"Would you like to head for your interview now?" She asked standing up from behind her desk with a blue folder in her hands.

"Absolutely!" Kurt exclaimed.

"Wonderful, follow me. I'm Patricia by that way." Kurt followed Patricia to the elevators and they both got in one together. Kurt observed when Patricia pushed the button "6" on the elevator and they were on their way up. Once the doors opened they walked down the hall to the left about four doors down and Patricia stopped and knocked on the door of an office.

"Ms. Wright? Your 11:30 applicant is here." She entered the room and Kurt followed her, Patricia placed the blue folder on Ms. Wright's desk and left the office leaving Kurt and Ms. Wright alone.

"Alright," Ms. Wright opened the blue folder with a big smile then looked up to Kurt, "Mr. Hummel please have a seat."

Kurt took one willingly. Ms. Wright was a pretty woman with long light brown hair and wore a beautiful black fitted dress.

"So why are you interested in ?" She asked Kurt with a smile.

"Well as you can see my various outfits I put on my resume I'm quite enthusiastic about fashion." Kurt said gesturing to his resume on her desk.

"I can see, and I am quite impressed I might add." She smiled brightly, "And I'm also impressed by your choice of outfit today." She said gesturing to Kurt's attire.

"Thank you Ms. Wright that means a lot coming from you,"

"Please call me Isabelle,"

"OK, well thank you Isabelle,"

"You know Kurt you are just the kind of insight I need for the website. I would love to take you on for an internship!" Isabelle stood up and held out her hand to Kurt.

"Ms- Isabelle I would love to!" Kurt grabbed her hand and shook it excitedly.

"Wonderful, do you actually want to start right now and work the night with me?" Kurt wasn't expecting this at all.

"I would love to trust me, but I have a date tonight that is quite important, would it be ok if I start tomorrow?" Kurt asked playing with his hands.

"Ooh! That's certainly not a problem! You got a cute girlfriend Kurt?" She questioned siting back down and Kurt followed.

"Um, no I'm hoping he will become my boyfriend, but this is just a first date kind of deal." Kurt said scrunching his face.

"Oh, even better! Tell me about him! Sorry Kurt if you feel like I'm coming on a bit strong but I do really love to be friends with all my employees, and I just love you already!" She said excitedly.

"Oh it's no problem at all, but um, his name is Blaine, we met on the train over to New York from Ohio. We were both coming to New York to pursue our dreams and we connected instantly on the train. Then we shared a cab back to our separate apartments, but we didn't exchange contact information when we said goodbye that night." That aspect made Isabelle gasp, "But then last night, a week after we had said goodbye after the cab ride, I went to a coffee shop and he was performing there and we reunited and had another wonderful conversation. Then thankfully this time we did exchange contact information and he called me this morning to confirm a date!" Kurt finished his little story gleefully.

"Wow," Isabelle said and let out an over- exaggerated sigh "That is just too perfect of a story Kurt! It's so romantic comedy esc. I love it!" She leaned over her desk and held Kurt's hands. "I can just tell we're going to get along great!"

"Me too! I'm so excited to start working here!" Kurt said also holding Isabelle's hands.

Isabelle stood up and walked to the front of her desk and Kurt stood up accordingly. "Now get going you! Go get ready for your big date; I want all the details tomorrow!" She gave Kurt a jokingly pat on the shoulder to get him going out the door.


It was now 7:00 and Kurt was quickly getting ready to go for his date with Blaine. He was happy to be putting on his new outfit that he bought today for this special event. His time was passing pretty quickly and before Kurt knew it was 7:30. The walk to Breadstix took about thirty minutes so Kurt figured he should get going.

He exited his apartment building with glee; he was even walking with a little bit of a hop in his step. Kurt just could not contain his excitement for tonight! Kurt thought to himself, and he concluded that he had had quite a terrific day, he scored his first job, his first date (which he is now going on) and he couldn't be happier with himself. Kurt was approaching Breadstix and then outside of the restaurant he saw a very familiar figure standing outside. It was Blaine; he was wearing a navy blue jacket and nice red scarf. Kurt thought he looked adorable. Blaine saw Kurt approaching.

"Kurt!" He stuck his hand in the air to wave and jogged lightly over to Kurt. He embraced Kurt whenhe reached him and Kurt hugged him back.

"Hi, Blaine. It's nice to see you again." Kurt said after they had separated from their hug.

"You too, you too. Ready to go?" Blaine asked with a sweet smile. Kurt nodded in reply and the two walked into Breadstix together.

Blaine approached the host, "Hi Blaine Anderson for eight o'clock please."

The host looked down at his map and gave Blaine a nod, "Certainly, right this way." He gestured for Kurt and Blaine to follow him and they did willingly. The host took them to a red booth; they sat opposite each other and took off their coats. "Your server will be here right away," and with that the host left.

The two sat there in silence for a moment until Blaine spoke, "So Kurt, how has your day been?"

"It was actually really great," Kurt said sounding somewhat surprised and he rested his hands on the table to hold the menu.

"Oh tell me about it," Blaine insisted.

"Well I got my first job, well internship actually at the headquarters!" Kurt replied with a big smile.

"Wow Kurt! That's fantastic, I'm so happy for you!" Blaine then reached his hand over to lay on top of Kurt's.

Kurt was so touched by this action, he looked at Blaine's hand on top of his and then went back to Blaine and the two shared a small gaze.

"Hi my name is Rory and I am your server tonight and we're all going to have an awesome time! Let's get you two some drinks!" Blaine and Kurt were both displeased that their moment was over and their hands separated when Rory came over.

"Um, I'll have," Kurt's eyes were skimming the menu "A Coke please,"

"Make that two," Blaine chimed in.

Rory pointed to Kurt "Awesome!" he then pointed to Blaine "Awesome!" Then Rory left and Kurt and Blaine were both happy.

"So what about your day Blaine?" Kurt asked kindly.

"Um, nothing too eventful me and my friend Mike, went to see a dance group perform this afternoon and then I just chilled at home for the rest of the day." Blaine replied with a small shrug of the shoulders.

"Ooh, that sounds nice." Kurt commented.

"It was," Blaine agreed. "You look very cute tonight Kurt," Blaine complimented with a small smile.

Kurt blushed, "Thanks, you're not so bad yourself,"

"Here are your two awesome cokes!" Rory was back and handed Kurt and Blaine their drinks. "What kind of awesome meals would you fellas like?" He whipped out his little note pad and pen and was waiting for the two of them.

"I'll have the classic Bolognese," Blaine handed his menu to Rory.

"Awesome!" Rory commented.

"And I'll have the lasagna," Kurt also handed his menu to Rory.

"Awesome! I'll be back soon with your meals!" Rory left yet again.

"He's a spirited little guy ain't he?" Kurt joked.

Blaine laughed, "You got that right,"

Soon enough both of their meals came and the two shared a very sweet and slightly flirtatious conversation. They were both having a very wonderful time in each other's company. The time was flying by and neither of them were seeming to notice until their "friend" Rory came over.

"Sorry to interrupt you guys but we are actually officially closed," Rory said with a squint in his face.

"Oh I'm terribly sorry, we'll get going," The two both got up from the table and put on their coats and Blaine put some money down on the table to pay for the meal and exited the restaurant.

"I'll walk you home," Blaine said turning to Kurt.

"OK," Kurt replied. They began to walk and Kurt felt Blaine's hand slowly slip between them to find Kurt's and he slipped his fingers into his. Kurt couldn't believe what was happening; he was hoping Blaine wouldn't notice how much he was blushing.

They shared a quiet walk back to Kurt's apartment commented on little things here and there that they saw or thought about. Finally they reached Kurt's apartment and they stood on the steps outside. Blaine released Kurt's hand.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Blaine," Kurt said nodding and looking at Blaine.

"I did too, probably the best date I've ever had." Blaine took a small step closer to Kurt.

"That good?" Kurt asked.

"Definitely," Blaine said in almost a whisper. He then leaned into Kurt and Kurt followed until their lips met. Kurt couldn't believe this he was kissing Blaine and Blaine was kissing him! They finally broke apart. "I've wanted to do that for a while." Blaine stepped back with a smile on his face.

"Well I'm glad you took the opportunity," Kurt received a laugh from Blaine at his comment.

"Well I will definitely see you soon Kurt," Blaine walked down the steps and then turned back around to Kurt.

"Absolutely, I'll call you this time." Kurt said.

"I'm looking forward to it," Kurt then turned around and opened the door to his apartment.

"Hey Kurt!" Blaine yelled from down the steps.

"Yeah," Kurt replied turning back around to face him.

"Your blushing was really cute tonight," Blaine scrunched his face as he joked to embarrass Kurt and he then turned to walk away. Kurt then blushed and went into his apartment building. He leant against the door slightly embarrassed but mostly completely ecstatic about how wonderful a day he had.
