Kurt finishes his first draft of an article about scarves before sending it to get approved. He would have written more but his mind is more occupied with other things, all of them Blaine. He can't stop thinking about him. He feels like a love struck teenager all over again. He hadn't felt this in years, not even with Adam. He reaches for his mobile on his desk and stares at his wallpaper.
"Well someone's in a happy mood today." A female voice speaks throwing Kurt out of his daydream.
"Umm, Isabelle ....sorry, yes." Kurt replies as he throws his phone back down on the desk.
"It's okay. So let me see."
"See what?" Kurt asks slightly confused.
"That picture of your boyfriend that you clearly have on your phone that you can't stop looking at. I have noticed, Kurt." Isabelle pulls up another seat and sits herself down next to him. "I feel like a teenager again" She giggles to herself.
Kurt can't help but laugh with her as he picks up his phone and turns on the screen. He takes one final look at it before handling the phone over to her.
"His hot! You bagged yourself one fine-looking man there." Isabelle finishes as she starts to type something on his phone.
"What are you doing?" Kurt tries to reach for the phone but almost falls off his chair instead.
"Emailing it to myself..." she presses send before handing it back to Kurt. "I'm going to print and frame it for you. This way you can stop looking at your phone every five minutes." The beep of her phones distracts her as Kurt looks at the picture one more time.
"Can I ask your advice on something?" Kurt's voice goes softer and more childlike. He strokes his thumb over the picture on the screen.
"Sure you know can."
"I think I want to ask Blaine to move in with me." Kurt looks back at his phone then back to Isabelle. "No not think I know I want him to move in with me. Would that be a terrible idea? I don't want to mess this up with him...."
"Whoa slow down for a second. Kurt, do you love him?"
"Yes but we've been back together only a few weeks and I guess I've been living with him since he was in the hospital...."
"Kurt" Isabelle grabs his phone and puts it on his desk before holding his hands bringing them both slightly closer together. "If you think now is the right time then do it." She lets go of his hands and starts to get up.
"Oh and Kurt that article you just sent me is brilliant. Add another paragraph and I think it's done." She gives him a wink before leaving.
Kurt starts to jump in his seat from his excitement. His going to do it and it's going to be romantic and they're going to live happily ever after, well in his head for now.

Blaine had waited for when he knew Kurt would be on his break to tell him.
With his phone in one hand and his drink in the other, he practically screams down the phone to Kurt to tell him the good news.
"So you'll be performing every night?" The voice on the other side of the phone asks. He chooses a seat in the quietest corner of the cafe, placing his drink on the table in front of him.
"No, not every night. But I know this is just a small cafe in the city but maybe this could lead to bigger things." Blaine looks back at Frank who's behind the counter and waves at him.
"Maybe........ Blaine, do you, I mean would you like to maybe mo... mo... no forget it."
"No, no continue would I like to what?" Blaine asks as he takes a mouthful of his coffee.
"No it can wait."
"Kurt Hummel, were you going to ask me if I wanted to move in with you? Which by the way would be a yes, if that was the question?" Blaine smiles to himself as he imagines what Kurt's reaction on the other end of the line might be like.
"Really?"
"Yes if you want me to."
"Well I did think about asking you over a romantic meal at mine tonight but I guess that's out of the question now" Kurt laughs.
"Ask me again tonight."

Kurt hadn't run so fast in his life back to his apartment with four bags of food, two in each hand. He runs up to the lift and waits for what seems like forever for one to arrive. He swears under his breath as the lift doors slowly start to open. Getting in he quickly checks his hair in the mirrored wall.
When he finally reaches his floor he walks the rest of the way to his apartment singing. He turns the corner to see a guy sitting by his door.
"Adam?" Kurt calls as he sees the tall British guy he used to date slumped at his door. Adam slowly pulls down his hood revealing his face. He has bags under his eyes and he looks like he hasn't changed in days. "What are you doing here?"
"I needed someone to talk to."
"I can't Adam, not now."
"Please I really need to see you." Adam reaches for Kurt's arm pulling him closer. "Please you're the only person who will understand and I thought you would like to know."
"What is it?" Kurt asks as he pulls himself free from Adam's grasp.
"My mom, she died." Adam slowly starts to sink back to the floor again. Kurt feels a sharp pain in his chest. He was close to Adam's family especially since they got engaged. He bites his lip as he sits himself down next to his ex-boyfriend.
"I'm so sorry." He doesn't really know what else to say.
"I'm heading back to England in a few days and I know we're not together anymore but they loved you and maybe..."
"I can't go I'm sorry" Kurt feels bad.
"Please I really miss you" Adam slowly leans towards Kurt's, his eyes blurry from all the crying. His lips touch Kurt's. Kurt sighs for a second as Adam's hand finds a spot on his waist. For a few seconds Kurt forgets who it is and gets caught up in the moment. He opens his eyes and see's Blaine's staring back at him. He blinks again and see's Adam.
"Don't" Kurt utters under the kiss. He suddenly feels dirty as he starts to pull away.
"KURT!" A voice from down the hall cries. He looks to see Blaine holding a bunch of red roses staring at them from down the hallway. He watches in what feels like slow motion as Blaine drops the flowers and turns to leave.
"Blaine, please I can explain." Kurt pushes Adam away. "Leave Adam please" He starts to cry as he runs after Blaine. "Please"
"I feel like" Blaine starts to talk but stops as he feels Kurt's hand on his arm.
"It's not what it looks like."
"Says everyone who's ever been caught." Blaine starts but stops. He can't run anymore his had enough. He turns and looks at Kurt.
"This is my fault. Don't blame Kurt" They both look up to see Adam walking both towards them. "I kissed him. I guess I was hoping that maybe he would come back to me." He picks up the flowers and hands them back to Blaine.
"Blaine?" Kurt lets go of Blaine.
"I really am sorry." Adam starts to leave. They both stand in silence for a second as they watch. Blaine wants to punch him but he just stares instead as he watches him leave.
"Blaine?" Kurt asks. He doesn't know what to do as he watches his boyfriend just look back at him. "You know I wouldn't cheat on you." Blaine just nods as he points towards the door.
"Can we go in now I'm getting kinda hungry?"
