Kurt rushed into the coffee shop, it wasn't his usual coffee shop, but then again it wasn't a usual morning. He was running late to his "Fashion Design" class and his usual Starbucks wasn't on the way to his college so he stopped by a small, local, coffee shop called "Grounded." Kurt walked swiftly up to the counter where behind stood a dark haired, male.

"Grande nonfat mocha, please." Spoke Kurt as he ordered his regular coffee.

"It's medium," Said the barista with a warm smile, "We aren't Starbucks."

"Oh," Kurt didn't see why it mattered if the barista knew what he was talking about anyway. "Just, uh, get me that." Kurt pulled out his the money and handed it to the barista.

"Alright, can I have your name please?" The barista looked at Kurt with a friendly smile.

"Kurt, Kurt Hummel."

"Alright, Mr. Kurt Hummel, coffee will be ready in a minute." With that the barista turned his attention to serve the next person in line. Kurt picked up his coffee and was back to rushing off to class.

After class, Kurt arrived at his New York apartment where his two roommates Rachel and Mercedes were arguing about God knows what.

"That looks horrible for a date Rachel!" Mercedes said in an annoyed tone.

"No, Mercedes you don't understand. It's vintage."

"It's ugly. That's what it is Rach-"

"Kurt! My best-gay! Oh I'm so glad you saved me from Mercedes and her lack of fashion-sense." Rachel ran over to Kurt and hugged him. "I have a date tonight with this guy I met in the elevator-"

"Wait, what?" Kurt interrupted. "First off, you met him in an elevator? Second, what the fuck are you wearing?"

Rachel pouted and crossed her arms. "It's vintage."

"It is horrific." Said Kurt as he observed Rachel's dress.

"That's what I said!" Mercedes agreed.

"Rachel Let's find you a better dress, I'm sure you have got a better one. You have tons of dresses that I know for a fact are better than that one." Kurt said as he walked to Rachel's room.

Soon, Rachel had a dress that wasn't horrific and Kurt and Mercedes watched as Rachel smiled and posed.

"How do I look?" Rachel said as she twirled "Better?"

"Much." Kurt responded "So who is this guy you met on the elevator, which might I add Rachel, is sort of weird."

"It is not that weird Kurt, people in movies meet in way weirder situations." Rachel stated as Kurt just rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I was on my way to my class today and I was going down the elevator in the apartment, then he just hopped on." Rachel smiled fondly. Kurt was about to speak but Rachel interrupted, "He is so dreamy Kurt! His name is Mike Chang."

"He lives in our apartments?" asked Mercedes as she stepped forward now entering the conversation.

"No, he said he was just visiting a friend who lives here." Rachel said as she looked at the clock, now in panic, "Oh- gosh! If I don't go now I'm gonna be late," Rachel then said goodbye, picked up her car keys, and ran out the front door.

"Well, not to be a downer- I am sick of being the only single one around here." Said Mercedes with an over dramatic sigh.

"What's her name?" Blaine asked as he sat on the ground watching Mike decide on a tie to wear.

"Rachel Berry." Mike said as he smiled and picked out a blue tie.

"Formal much?" Asked Blaine.

"It's just a name, Rachel really isn't that formal I don-"

"No, I mean the tie, are you going somewhere formal?"

"Dinner."

"Sounds nice I suppose. She must be high-class."

"She lives in the apartments close to Jane Street, I met here while I was visiting Puck." Mike stated as he walked out of his room and into the living room. Blaine followed.

"Can't be too high-class then," Blaine joked, earning a slight smile from Mike.

"What are you going to do while I'm gone, got any dates lined up?" Mike said to Blaine as he picked up his keys, getting ready to leave.

"No Mike, not one guy has even stepped near me since Sebastian, and we both know that after him; I'm not sure I can trust anyone not to just use me and leave." Blaine looked down at the floor, Mike was quiet for a minute.

"Oh come on Blaine, there is nobody that you would want to date? Nobody that you have your sights set on?"

"Well…" Blaine began, "There is this one guy-"

"…And?" Mike urged

"No, never mind it's silly-"

"Love is never silly Blaine!" Mike raised his voice as he shook Blaine by his shoulders jokingly.

Blaine smiled and laughed, "I don't love him, I barely know him. Actually I don't know him at all…"

"What's his name? How do you know him?"

"Kurt, his name is Kurt and he ordered coffee today." Blaine sighed, "I doubt I will ever see him again though, today was obviously his first time there and he-"

"Well maybe, but if you do see him again, you better say something and get his number, or ask him out on a date," Mike grabbed his keys and began to walk toward the door. "I'm serious Blaine, you only live once…"

"Yolo, really Mike, really?" Blaine laughed.

"Cheesy as it is. It's true. Do it Blaine, I'm serious." With that Mike walked out the front door and Blaine sat down on the couch thinking about what his roommate had just told him. Maybe he was right? Blaine was young and too closed off for a 21 year old. He didn't want the most exciting thing in his life to be serving organic coffee to hipsters in a little, local, coffee shop.
