A few months had passed and Kurt was unsuccessfully looking for work. He had handed in resumes at almost every fashion related job he could find and not one person even called him back. Blaine walked in and Kurt was making dinner.
"Hey," Kurt said as Blaine came up and kissed him. "How as work?"
"Good," Blaine smiled. "How was job hunting?"
"Horrible," Kurt responded. "But I love how couple-y we have become."
"Me too," Blaine responded. "What are you doing Monday?"
"Nothing much." Kurt responded.
"Well how would you respond if I said I knew someone who got you an interview at vogue.com?" Blaine asked.
"You didn't!" Kurt's eyes widened as Blaine nodded. "A woman in our costumes had worked for Vogue and she called up and got you an interview for Monday."
Kurt started screaming and hugging Blaine. This had been the best news he had heard in a very long time.
"It's for an assistant," Blaine laughed as Kurt calmed down. "You'll be working for Isabelle."
"Oh my god," Kurt muttered. "What am I going to wear?"
Kurt scattered off and Blaine just rolled his eyes and laughed. Monday morning came and Kurt was pacing around.
"What if Isabelle hates me?" He asked.
"She won't hate you." Blaine responded.
"How do you know?" Kurt asked, sitting on the bed.
"Because it is impossible to hate you Kurt Hummel." Blaine wrapped his arms around the taller man.
They got the subway together and Kurt got off before Blaine, who wished him luck. That afternoon Kurt was getting dinner ready and waiting for Vogue to call him back. They got as far as the restaurant before Kurt took the call he had been waiting for.
"Blaine," Kurt hung up the phone. "You are looking at Isabelle's new assistant."
"Congratulations." Blaine responded.
Kurt's phone began ringing off the hook and screaming when he told almost every person he knew that he got the job.

A month had passed and Kurt had begun working flat out. The couple were out for their anniversary dinner and Blaine was hoping he could talk to his boyfriend for the first time in a month. Kurt had taken three work calls in the space of an hour and Blaine was just politely smiling as Kurt took them all.
"Maybe we should do this another night." Blaine said when Kurt hung up the phone.
"No," Kurt responded. "I'm off the phone from now on, I promise."
His phone started buzzing and Kurt took the call as Blaine stood up and left the restaurant, leaving Kurt money for the bill. Blaine got back to the apartment and slammed the door. Kurt came in ten minutes and stood over their bed.
"That was really rude," Kurt began. "You walked off and I had no idea where you went."
"Oh really?" Blaine asked. "That was rude. You took four phone calls in an hour."
"I'm sorry that I had to take work calls." Kurt exclaimed.
"I get that your job is demanding Kurt," Blaine responded. "I do. But I wanted tonight to be just us - Not you talking to Louise about the bra size of a model."
"Okay that was important because Isabelle is doing a shoot with her tomorrow," Kurt responded, before he sat on the edge of the bed. "Blaine do you have any idea how much Vogue means to me?"
"No." Blaine said quietly.
"I know my high school years must sound amazing through Rachel's Glee Club stories, but it was absolute hell," Kurt started. "I had my life threatened, my dad got really sick and I was bullied to no end. New York that was what got me through. I used to read Vogue and dream about the day I would get to become someone like Isabelle, the woman who inspired my cutting edge fashion. And now I get to work with her, Blaine."
"Come here," Blaine patted a spot next to him on the bed after Kurt finished. The taller man crawled over and Blaine put his arms around him. "I'm sorry Kurt. I shouldn't have gone off like that. This job means a lot to you and as your boyfriend I should be more supportive."
"I'm sorry too," Kurt turned his head. "Tonight was our one year anniversary and I didn't even get two words to you."
"I miss you Kurt." Blaine said quietly.
"I miss you too," Kurt shut his eyes and soaked in the smell of Blaine's hair gel. "You know, it's still early and I got them to pack up our dessert."
"You did," Blaine's eyes widened as Kurt got up and brought in the two containers. Blaine took one and took a bite of the chocolate cake. "I love you Kurt."
"I love you too," Kurt said as he crawled back to his spot and they fed each other dessert. "Happy Anniversary."
"Happy Anniversary." Blaine said as he put the cake in Kurt's mouth.
