"Let's give this place a proper christening." Kurt said with a wicked smile as he pulled Blaine towards the small room off to the left of their living room; to the bedroom. The buzz happened again and it made Blaine stop, Kurt looking back at him; confused.

Blaine groggily opened his eyes, the sun was pushing through the curtains of the motel room. He blinked a few times until the haze of sleep left him. He heard the buzzing again and now realized what had broken him out of his dreaming; his cell phone was vibrating. He lazily grabbed his cell phone off of the nightstand and looked at the text message. It was from Kurt, which instantly made his heart leap up into his throat.

"Lima Bean in an hourish." Was all the text said. Blaine quickly jumped out of bed and jumped in the shower. It didn't take him any longer than twenty minutes to get ready. He let his hair air dry into its normally curly state and he quickly threw on a black t-shirt with gray jeans and his converse. Before stepping out of the house he pulled on his black pea coat with a red scarf as fast as he could before he was stepping out of the motel. The sun was high in sky and blinding as he walked down the boulevard so he pulled on his black Ray Bans and continued on his way.

When he walked into the Lima Bean he was accosted by smells that reminded him so much of high school. Coming here every single day after school, alone at first but eventually it became a ritual for Kurt and himself. They did practically everything in his coffee bar; studied for exams, thought up duet ideas, applying for colleges and planning for their future. Blaine didn't see Kurt inside just yet so he decided to get in line and get his coffee before Kurt arrived. He waited patiently in line and when it was his turn he looked at the barista at the cash register and flashed a smile. He was about to say his order to the girl when he heard someone call out their order from behind him. He turned and saw Kurt standing there, a bashful smile on his face as he winked at Blaine before turning back to the barista.

"...and a medium drip for this guy." He said quickly, pointing to a smiling Blaine. She walked away to start making the drinks, leaving the both of them standing together.

"You remember my coffee order." Blaine said quietly. Kurt looked up at him in surprise, as if it was foolish for Blaine to have believed that he had forgotten.

"Of course I do." Kurt said quickly as he left a five dollar bill on the counter for the barista and walked over to the counter where she had just set it down for him. Kurt walked over to a small, two person table in the back corner of the cafe and sat down, waiting for Blaine to follow suit. Seconds later, Blaine sat down across from him while he gently opened the lid of his coffee and blew into it, trying to cool the scalding liquid.

"You look good...I forgot to say that last night." Kurt said out loud and it made Blaine stop blowing into his cup; he wondered if Kurt had meant to say it out loud or not. "The five o'clock shadow really works for you." Kurt said and it made Blaine laugh at bit.

"Uh...thanks." Blaine said as he then took in Kurt's appearance. White leather jacket with a black t-shirt underneath. Unbelievably tight black jeans and white boots. "You look really good too." Blaine said but immediately felt ridiculous for saying it, of course he looked good, he worked for a fashion magazine.

"You still living in New York?" Kurt asked as he finally took a sip of his coffee and waited for Blaine to answer.

"Brooklyn." Blaine answered and he watched Kurt make a face that was inexplicable. He was sure that Kurt thought Brooklyn was low class to whatever he was used to. He didn't say anything about however, just smiled a bit at Kurt.

"How about you? High rise apartment on the Upper East Side?" Blaine asked with a twinkle in his eyes. Kurt took a big gulp of his coffee and squeaked out Astoria and the smile dropped off of Blaine's face. Everything faded around them, the low music and chatter around the cafe just melted away.

"Astoria?" Blaine asked and Kurt just nodded slightly, constantly breaking eye contact with Blaine. Then, like a ton of bricks, it his Blaine.

"You...you don't still live in our old place, do you?" Blaine asked but he was sure that at any moment Kurt would start laughing hysterically and tease him for being so gullible. However, it never came. He watched as Kurt fiddled with his coffee cup sleeve and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's really close to the subway." He said as he finally looked up into Blaine's confused eyes. He could tell that Kurt wanted to change the subject, talking about New York was too much for him. So they decided to talk about anything else to take their minds off of the earlier subject; from everyone in New Directions and how they were doing these days to what was going on in Kurt's high fashion lifestyle and they even talked about Blaine's career as a music teacher. Kurt enjoyed listening to him talk about his students and everything that they were doing together. There was a long pause in the conversation, they were at a juncture that they didn't know how to cross. One subject still loomed over both of their heads.

"Anyone special in your life these days?" Kurt was the one to finally break the ice. Trading one uncomfortable subject for another. Blaine didn't know what else to do but to smile shyly and shake his head uneasily.

"Oh no. Not for a long time. You?" Blaine asked quietly, as if the entire cafe had stopped what they were doing and were listening to their conversation. His heart fluttered a bit as he watched Kurt shake his head.

"No." He answered simply. They looked into each other's eyes for a long , silent moment until a ringing went off in Kurt's leather jacket. He pulled out his cell phone and read the text message that he had just received.

"Mercedes just invited us to a club called Temple tonight at eight." Kurt said as he started clicking away on the screen, responding to the text. Merely seconds later he set the phone down on the table with a smirk.

"And?" Blaine asked as he finished off his coffee and set it down carefully beside Kurt's phone.

"I told her we'll be there." Kurt said with a deviant smile.
