Trying not to think about the stranger failed so hard. As Kurt walked the streets of Manhattan after his class that morning, he couldn’t help but wonder if his handsome stranger was around here somewhere, if he was even in New York, if he was even in the United States, if he even existed. He wanted to know so much, but there was a guilty feeling eating away at him. Aidan. It wasn’t like he cheated, or was cheating, right? They were just dreams, nothing else. His handsome stranger might not even be real.

But what if he is?

Stop that.

You need time with your boyfriend. Kurt thought to himself. He pulled out his phone and sent Aidan a text.

(10:30)
Hey babe. Coffee?

There. If he could just have some time with his Aidan, maybe even go back to his place and cuddle a bit, maybe he could forget about the stranger.

(10:32)
I was just about to ask you the same thing! Lol. Sure.

Kurt smiled to himself. He thought about his boyfriend, his tall, muscular frame. His dirty blonde hair that was just a bit shaggy. He was really a gorgeous man, with his green eyes, pointed nose and crooked smile. Then his brain flashed him a memory of the dream last night.

He took Kurt’s face in his hands, kissing him urgently. “I love you, I love you so much. I’m so sorry.”

Kurt shook his head.

Stop it!

(10:33)
See you at the usual place in fifteen?

(10:34)

You got it, handsome.

Well, shit, did he have to say ‘handsome’? Kurt made his way to a place called the Tea Lounge, he texted Rachel.

(10:42)
Aidan.

(10:43)
Que?

(10:44)
Just remind me, okay? Aidan. I’m being ridiculous.

(10:46)
Okay then. Are you sure you’re being ridiculous?

(10:48)
Positive. I love Aidan. We’ve been together so long. He’s the one. THE one. I’m sure of it.

(10:50)
Alrighty.

Kurt nodded to himself. Yes. Good. When Kurt finally arrived at the Tea Lounge he noticed Aidan wasn’t there yet. He went ahead and ordered their drinks and went up to their usual table. Kurt loved the Tea Lounge. It was his favorite coffee place in Manhattan. Not only because it’s where he and Aidan met, but it was just a great place, they would have live performances, and they had art from local artists up everywhere. It was just a really nice place.

Just as he sat down, he looked up and a handsome stranger with dark curly hair walked into the shop and Kurt’s heart stopped.
