"Thanks," Kurt smiled as Blaine pushed a plastic cup of coffee into his hand. The hallway was empty so they took their drinks and sat down on a bench by the window.

"I can't believe you've been here all this time," Kurt breathed.

"Me neither," Blaine said. "We must only be about an hour apart..."

"I always thought you would be somewhere far away. Maybe California..." Kurt said dreamily.

"I wish," Blaine chuckled. "We actually competed against each other already too!"

"How did we not realise?" Kurt frowned.

"Probably due to your paranoia at talking to people online." Blaine replied.

"Being safe and being paranoid are not the same thing," Kurt said.

"So are we sticking to the 'no personal details' rule?" Blaine laughed.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "You are exactly the same as you are online."

"It's nice to actually see you roll your eyes when I make fun of you," Blaine winked.

Kurt instinctively rolled his eyes again at Blaine's comment which made them both laugh. He didn't know it was possibly but Blaine's laugh was even better in person.

He also made a good point and there was some things Kurt did want to ask him.

"So... what's your name?" Kurt started.

Blaine frowned. "It's Blaine. Why? Isn't your name Kurt?"

Kurt laughed. "No I mean... your full name."

"Oh! Blaine Anderson. What about you?"

"Hummel. Kurt Hummel."

Blaine extended a hand towards him. "Well it's a pleasure to finally meet you Kurt Hummel."

Kurt shook his hand. "The pleasure is all mine."

"Where do you live?" Blaine asked, taking his hand back.

"Lima," Kurt said unenthusiastically. "Do you live in Westerville? That's where Dalton is."

"Yep," Blaine nodded.

"What about me then? Do my online and offline personas match up?"Kurt asked.

"Well apparently your offline persona slams into people then yells in their faces weeks later," Blaine teased.

Kurt groaned and put it head in his hands, making Blaine laugh again. "Oh my god! I'm sorry about that... I saw you staring at me and I thought you were still pissed about me knocking into you at sectionals. I was having a bad day."

"You know, I'd already forgotten about it by then," Blaine smiled. "I didn't even see who it was who knocked into me."

"It's weird though isn't it? I was in a terrible mood that day because my internet had just been cut off and I missed you. Without realising I ended up yelling in your face because of how much I missed you..." Kurt said from under hands.

"You missed me?" Blaine asked.

Kurt lifted his head up from his hands. "Yes."

"After one day?" Blaine said but for once he wasn't teasing.

"I always miss you when we're not talking," Kurt shrugged.

They both had noticed the change in the tone of the conversation. They were no longer laughing and teasing each other. They sat there quietly for a while, sipping their coffees.

"You were really good," Blaine said finally. "Your solo... it was amazing. "

"Thanks. You were amazing too, I'm sorry you didn't make it to nationals." Kurt said sadly.

"Don't be, you guys deserved to win" Blaine reassured him.

"The last song you sang..." Kurt started.

Blaine's cheeks flushed and he looked away. "I hadn't really meant for you to hear that."

"Was it about me?" Kurt asked.

Blaine stared at him. He opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by a small crowd of people heading their way.

"Blaine there you are!"

They turned to see a group of boys wearing Dalton uniforms looking very relieved.

"We've been looking for you!" said an Asian boy standing at the front.

"I just went for a walk, Wes. What's the problem?" Blaine said, confused

"The problem, is that you ran off just after we lost regionals," Wes replied.

"We thought you might have gone off somewhere to kill yourself," another boy chipped in.

"Nick, that's not funny," scolded a boy with blonde hair.

"I just went to grab a coffee with Kurt, there was no need to send out a search party," Blaine frowned.

"Wait..." Nick's eyes were wide. "Are you the Kurt?"

"The Kurt?" Kurt repeated.

"The one who Blaine won't shut up talking about," the blond boy grinned. "Who's sweet and funny and an amazing singer?"

"And dancer," Nick added.

Kurt looked at Blaine questioningly. Blaine stood up quickly.

"Okay guys, now you know I'm not dead you can kindly go away," he hissed.

"Actually, our bus is about to leave," Wes said apologetically. "We have to go."

"I think mine is too actually," Kurt said, standing up. "I've gotten about 10 texts, my group are probably wondering where I am."

They followed the warblers outside to the car park where sure enough the New Directions were standing by their bus looking worried.

"Kurt!" Finn yelled, running over to him. "Where've you been?"

Kurt looked from Blaine to Finn. "I just got talking to someone."

Finn eyed up the warblers suspiciously. "Well we have to go now."

"Give me a second okay?" Kurt asked.

Finn stared and for a moment Kurt thought he was going to say 'no', but then he turned and walked back to the bus. The rest of the Warblers started to get on their bus too.

"Who was that?" Blaine asked.

"Oh that's just Finn," Kurt said waving his hand.

"Your stepbrother."

"Yep. I'll introduce you to the rest of the New Directions another time." Kurt smiled.

"Another time... you want to see me again?" Blaine asked frowning.

"I just assumed that I would... Why? Don't you want to?" Kurt stammered, suddenly worried that Blaine was about to reject him.

"No! I mean yes! I mean... I do want to see you again," Blaine spluttered. "I'd love to meet the rest of your glee club but... maybe we can go out sometime just the two of us?"

"Okay," Kurt breathed, barely audible.

Blaine was the only Warbler left to get on the bus now. He gave Kurt a small smile.

"It's was really nice to see you Kurt."

"Yeah... you too."

Kurt stood there awkwardly for a moment until Blaine pulled him into a hug, wrapping his arms round Kurt's shoulders. Kurt froze, then his arms moved to wrap round Blaine's back.

"Bye, Kurt." Blaine said as he let go.

"Bye..." Kurt said.

Blaine looked up over Kurt's head and groaned. Kurt turned to see lots of faces pressed to the window of the behind him, watching them. Blaine jumped onto the first step of the bus before turning back to Kurt.

"We'll talk later?"

"Of course," Kurt said, his heart pounding as he wathed Blaine disappear inside the bus.
