Blaine kept periodically checking his watch, anxious to meet up with Kurt later that day.

"A minute still take sixty seconds to pass. Time isn't going to go any faster no matter how many times you check your watch."

"I'm just nervous, I guess." Blaine whispered, hoping that Cooper wouldn't hear and begin a long conversation about how that means that he is still into Kurt and wants to impress him, which wasn't entirely a lie.

"Nervous?"

"Let it go, Coop."

"You stil want to make an impression, I get that."

"That's not the reason, so leave it."

"Mind telling me what the reason is if what I said wasn't it?"

"I...I just..."

"Blaine..."

"I want to figure out a way that I can still have him in my life, Coop, but keep Sean too. I know that it isn't going to happen because you are right, I want Kurt to be my boyfriend and Sean to be my friend. Sean will never agree with that plan because he loves me, the way that I should love him."

"Blaine, I know that you think I am a heartless asshole that sleeps around and has no idea what love really is or what all the complications are that come along with it, and you are completely right about all of that, but there is one thing that I do know for sure."

"What would that be?" Blaine asked.

"You just ruined my big old sentimental brother speech. You say I'm the asshole."

"I think that you just ruined it with that little statement."

Cooper stared at Blaine, fighting back a laugh.

"So, Coop, what is that one thing that you know?"

Cooper worked to get his thoughts straightened out before continuing, "I know that the heart knows what it wants."

"I'm pretty sure that you got that from a movie."

"But it fit the conversation."

Blaine nodded in agreement.

"But to elaborate...Your heart knows that Kurt is who you want, who you need. Your brain may be telling you that it is wrong to want him because it would hurt Sean, but Blaine, for once, follow your heart."

"But you don't like Kurt."

"Blainers, I know what he did to you, but I...I know how much he means to you. You wouldn't be this messed up over a coffee date if he wasn't this special. Hell, you wouldn't be considering dumping Sean if he wasn't the right one."

"Cooper. I'm scared that he is going to break my heart again if I give it back to him." Blaine said, completely vulnerable.

"I have plenty of duct tape. If he does...that's a risk that you have to be willing to take going into this. But I will be here to help you patch it back."

"For a heartless asshole that knows nothing about love and all of its complications, you do a pretty good job."

Cooper reached over and wrapped Blaine in a tight brotherly hug.

"You might want to go shower, Blaine, you smell."

"Thanks Coop."

Time passed quickly after that. Blaine showered and gelled his hair back, but not as much as he used to. He had learned to let it do its own thing, which he realized, thanks to Cooper, looked a lot better than gelling it completely. He knew Kurt would like it better this way, too. He put on his favorite shirt, one that Kurt bought for him, but quickly pulled it off, thinking that he was looking a little too desperate, so instead put on an old All Time Low t-shirt and some jeans that were short enough to show his ankles.

"Blaine is back!" Cooper announced as Blaine walked into the living room, about to head out the door.

"What?"

"You look like yourself again! Dapper!"

"You seem more excited than I do."

"Go get your boy back."

Blaine rounded to corner and saw the coffee shop that Kurt had mentioned. He felt his breath catch in his throat as he felt all of the nerves come rushing back to him.

There he was. Sitting at a table right next to window, sipping what Blaine expected to be grande non-fat mocha.

"Blaine! Hey!" Kurt stood up as Blaine walked in. He set his drink on the table and acted like he wanted to hug Blaine but thought that it was too soon. Blaine stopped him before he sat back down and hugged him, showing him that things were going to be okay.

"What?" Blaine asked when he pulled away and saw Kurt's shocked face.

"I just...I still thought that you were mad at me and...that we would never...and now I am stammering...I'm sorry." Kurt gave Blaine the face that he used to give him whenever he wanted something or when he was embarassed.

"That's why we are here. To talk things out and for me to prove to you that I'm not mad anymore. Last night...that...I was shocked that you were there...back in my life..."

"You're letting me back in your life?" Kurt asked sincerely shocked.

"It is impossible to keep you out, Kurt. I haven't felt this much like me, since you dumped me."

Kurt stopped at the mention of the word, dumped.

"Blaine, you know that I did it so that my leaving would be easier on you."

Blaine gestured to the chairs since standing and having this conversation was not going to end well.

"How, Kurt?" Blaine asked, with a slight bitterness.

"A clean break. You would find someone. I knew that you would. So that you could have someone for your senior year."

"But, how could you have not known that I didn't want anyone else, Kurt?"

"I...I wasn't thinking about you...I was...thinking about me, and how the the break up would be easier for me. You saw how Rachel was when Finn let her go at the train station. I didn't want that to be us...sitting in the car at the airport, surrendering."

"Why would that have to be how we would leave things?"

"I...I really didn't think things through...how it would effect us."

"Kurt..."

"I still love you Blaine."

Blaine sat silent. He knew that he was going to have to say something, but what? He had everything so planned out at the apartment...hoping that they would clear the air today and just have a conversation about what they had been doing for the past year and that they would have the 'I still love you' conversation weeks from now.

"Please say something."

"Kurt...I..."

"I know. It was stupid for me to think that you could love me back. I know that you have a boyfriend. And me saying that...it's like asking you to break up with him. I know what kind of guy you are, Blaine Anderson, I know that you would never do that. I'm sorry, this conversation was a mistake."

Kurt stood up but Blaine grabbed his hand and pulled him into him, bringing their lips together.

God had he missed this. The smell of Kurt. The taste of his lips. The feeling of his body against his, fitting together perfectly.

Kurt pulled away.

Blaine realized what he had just done.

"Blaine...you look a little pale."

"I...that wasn't supposed to happen."

"Blaine..."

"No. I...ummm...I'll call you later..."

"Please...don't leave."

"I have to sort some things out...I'm...I'm sorry."

Blaine ran out onto the sidewalk, nearly colliding with other New Yorkers as he tried to stop his mind from spinning.

He just kissed Kurt Hummel. And he loved it.
