"I'm just going to quietly ignore the fact that our notification systems for schedules are near identical," Kurt looked and Blaine out of the corner of his eye and tried to match up their calendars, "because that's not weird or anything."

"Maybe it's an Ohio thing?" Blaine offered with a smile.

"Did you come up with yours?"

"Well, no, but my manager is from Ohio, too, so it's possible."

"A lot of things are. OK, let's focus here," Kurt turned back to the calendars and highlighted free times in his with a well-practiced click, then glanced at Blaine's.

"There's no way we can arrange anything for tonight, but then the next time we're both free for enough time is not until two weeks from now."

"Will that do for Isabelle?" Blaine questioned and Kurt was already messaging her through on Vogue's internal IM system.

"Looks like it will," he replied when the IM window lit up, "You might want to check with your manager, though."

"This will suffice," Blaine nodded to his phone as he added the shoot to his calendar, "I'll know in about… now, if he's approved it," the screen lit up with a message as he was still speaking, "We're good to go."

"So I have two weeks to come up with an idea," Kurt leaned back in his chair, "and short of just renting that same warehouse and running in with a blank slate, I have no ideas."

"That's not entirely a bad idea, though," Blaine leaned on Kurt's desk, "or maybe we should recreate one of the previous shoots?"

"No, that would just end up looking fake," Kurt grumbled, "a new one would technically be best, but since we have no new collection…"

They both went silent for a few minutes, lost in their minds and trying to come up with something that would potentially result in a solid plan. Kurt soon felt his mind drift to the evening after the last shoot, when they both finally admitted their interest in each other.

"How would you feel about the darkroom again?" he blurted and immediately blushed as the unintentional meaning registered in his mind.

"I like your darkroom," Blaine grinned, "but since this is probably leading to a plan for the photoshoot, I'll need a little bit more detail."

Kurt bit his lip at Blaine's raised eyebrow before he started explaining his idea. Blaine nodded through it and as the thoughts spilled from Kurt's lips, they both smiled brighter, knowing that it would work perfectly.

"Oh Isabelle will love this," Kurt bounced in his chair excitedly, "well, I hope she will but if she doesn't I'll convince her. Or you can charm approval out of her."

"You want me to charm your boss?" Blaine questioned, looking shocked.

"I… what… No! It's just… I was just…"

"I know," Blaine laughed at Kurt's stammering and blush, "Just joking. I wouldn't want to try and charm anyone but you anyway. Now, do you want to run the idea by Isabelle and maybe get out early?"

"Blaine! I just spent the morning out of the office!"

"And you can march right back out," Isabelle quipped from the door, startling them both, "I did say Kurt's no use to me today, didn't I?"

"But…" Kurt began but quickly stopped himself, grabbed his bag and jacket and then reached for Blaine's hand, heading for the door, "come on. This will never ever happen again."
