Kurt was angry, and confused, but mostly angry. First Blaine tells him he's okay with him being gay, then continues to flirt with him, then tells him he doesn't want to 'give him the wrong impression'? Well, it was a little late for that.

Kurt knew there was more to why Blaine was being so hot and cold with him, he could tell in his eye. But he was too mad to think much into it. He honestly thought that maybe Blaine was different. Different like him.

Now the hurt was setting in. Why did you always have to fall for the straight ones?

What are you doing, Kurt? You're in NEW YORK. Your life is just beginning.

Kurt took a deep breath and pulled himself out of his self-pity party. There was no use wasting time on a boy who didn't feel the same. The right guy was out there; he just needed to be patient.

He decided he wanted to go out and get some fresh air to clear his mind. It would be good from him to familiarize himself with the city a bit. And he needed to find a new place to become his regular coffee joint. Coffee made everything better.

Kurt gathered his moisturizers and clothes then headed to the bathroom to get ready. An hour later he was walking out the front door.

As he walked into the fresh air, he pulled out his phone to see if his navigator could show him all the closest coffee shops. He started typing into his phone when he felt another body run into him. Man, is running into me a common thing these days?

"Ouch. I really need to watch where I'm going. Sorry about that." A voice with a British accent said with cheerful tone. Kurt looked up to see a slightly taller boy with dirty blonde hair and sparkling green eyes staring at him.

"Don't worry about it. I wasn't exactly paying attention either." Kurt said giving an apologetic smile. He examined the boy again and noticed he was wearing a NYU Basketball t-shirt. "Oh you go to NYU? This is my first year. My names Kurt." Kurt held out his hand.

"Colin. Yeah! I'm a junior. I go to Tisch for dance." Colin replied. The boys talked for a couple of minutes about their different majors and New York. "Would you maybe like to join me for a cup of coffee?" Colin asked a little nervously. "I mean, unless you were on your way somewhere."

See, Kurt. Already meeting other people. Kurt smiled at Colin. "Actually, I was on my way to find a decent coffee shop. I have no idea where to go though."

"Well good thing I know the perfect place. Join me?"

"I would love to." Kurt was already starting to feel better.

Blaine cried into Cooper's shirt for a good hour. When the tears finally stopped, Cooper spoke first.

"I'm sorry."

Blaine looked up to see Cooper staring out his window with a stern look on his face and what looked like sorrow in his eyes. Blaine moved so that he was sitting up with his back against the headboard. "Why the hell are you sorry? I'm the one who just spent an hour crying on you after telling you I'm..." He trailed off. It was still weird saying it out loud after so long of hiding it.

"That's just it Blaine." Cooper turned to look Blaine in the eyes. "If I had been there for you when we were growing up, you wouldn't have felt the need to hide who you are for so long."

"I don't blame you." That was all Blaine could think of to say. He didn't blame Cooper. Yeah, it would have been nice to have someone to look up to and trust while he was dealing with all of this, but how was Cooper supposed to know what he was going through? "You're here now. That's all that matters. Thank you for accepting me."

"Blaine, you're my brother and I love you. Nothing will ever change that. Don't you ever feel ashamed of who you are. Like you said yesterday, you're awesome." Cooper smiled at him. Blaine felt so incredibly lucky to have Cooper as his brother. "So why now, all of a sudden, did you decide to tell me?"

Blaine's mind went back to the fight (if you could really call it that) with Kurt. "I really screwed up, Coop."

"Well, let's go get some coffee and you can tell me all about the awful error of your ways."

Blaine narrowed his eyes. "I hate you."

Cooper flashed him a bright smile. "No you don't!"

They found a cute little place called The Coffee Shop a couple of blocks away. They ordered their coffees and found a table to sit at.

Cooper felt the need to put on a disguise to avoid attracting any attention. This disguise consisted of sunglasses, a NY Yankees baseball cap, and, much to Blaine's amusement, a fake mustache.

"Is that really necessary?" Blaine said laughing and pointing at the mustache.

"We are here to have a very serious discussion. That can't happen if we're getting constantly interrupted by my adoring fans."

"I can't take you seriously with that thing on. I'm really tempted to rip it off your face." Blaine said as he reached over and try to grab the mustache.

Cooper swatted his hand away. "Hey! Hands to yourself!" Blaine mustered up his puppy dog eyes and famous pout and looked at Cooper. "Gah FINE! But only because you spent half the morning crying. Just be gentle!"

Blaine bounced giddily in his seat. After another minute he, once again, reached across the table, but this time Cooper didn't stop him. He stopped about an inch away from Cooper's face before lunging in and ripping off the mustache as fast as he could.

"I said gentle!" Cooper yelled and almost everyone in the coffee shop turned to look at them. Blaine was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe. "Ha ha okay you've had your laugh." He said bitterly.

"That was awesome." Blaine said, catching his breath.

"Back to business now. What happened?" Cooper asked changing the mood.

Blaine told Cooper everything. Meeting Kurt and the instant attraction, flirting at the grocery store, and finally their talk earlier that morning. It was strange being able to talk about this, but it also felt so good to get it off his chest. Cooper let Blaine explain everything without interruptions.

"So let me get this straight, no pun intended." Blaine gave him a 'seriously?' look. "You fell for this guy, and were getting along great but then got scared so pushed him away?" Cooper asked when Blaine had finished. "Why would you do that?"

"I didn't know what to do! You're the only person I've ever told, and that was this morning!"

"I think you should tell him." Blaine scoffed. "I can tell you already have it pretty bad for him. You're face kind of glows when you talk about him." Cooper said. Blaine rolled his eyes but he knew it was true. "You're in a new place, with new people. You can start over and finally live life being who you are!" Cooper said in an encouraging tone. "You don't have to hide anymore."

Blaine considered what Cooper was saying. The idea of living life as him sounded so refreshing. But was it really that easy? "What about mom and dad? They're still pissed about me coming here. When they find out about this... I don't even want to think about what could happen."

"You don't have to tell them right away. And who cares what they think, anyway. This is your life, not theirs. And you've always got me." Cooper said.

Blaine gave Cooper a grateful smile. Then he saw Cooper's eyes go wide while looking at something behind him. Curious, Blaine turned around to see what Cooper was looking at.

Outside, walking towards the coffee shop was Kurt. He was walking next to a good-looking blonde boy. The guy must have said something funny because Blaine could see Kurt laughing while the guy's lips moved. Blaine felt his heart dropped to his stomach and turned back to Cooper.

"Let's go." Blaine said with a bitter tone.

"Blaine, it could be noth-" Cooper tried to reason.

"Let's go, please." Now Blaine's tone was pleading. "I can't deal with this right now."

"Okay, sure. Let's go do some touristy crap." Cooper said with a sympathetic smile.

They left the coffee shop, Blaine trying to avoid Kurt while doing so.

"Holy shit. Is that Cooper Anderson? My sister adores him." Kurt heard Colin say and his heart rate began to race.

He looked in the direction Colin was staring, and sure enough there was Blaine and Cooper exiting the same coffee shop they were walking towards.

"He is smokin'! I'm going to go get his autograph." Kurt's head quickly snapped back to Colin who was already walking toward the Anderson brothers. Feeling more than a little awkward, Kurt trailed slowly behind Colin. "Excuse me, mate. Are you Cooper Anderson?"

Kurt's heart ached a little when Blaine lifted his head and their eyes connected. Blaine's eyes were slightly red and his face was a little blotchy, looking as if he had been crying. All anger forgotten, Kurt had to fight the impulse to pull him into a hug and comfort him.

"That I am! Oh hey, Kurt." Cooper said looking at the boys.

"Cooper." Kurt smiled but kept his eyes on Blaine.

"You know him?!" Colin asked, his question directed at Kurt.

Kurt saw Blaine roll his eyes, and slowly the anger started coming back. "Uh yeah. Sort of. His brother is my roommate." He said looking back at Colin, and pointing slightly to Blaine. He missed the slight disappointment in Blaine's face when he said 'roommate'. "Boys, this is Colin. We were just about to grab some coffee."

At that moment, Blaine laughed and shook his head then stormed down the street. "I'm sorry, I have to go. Nice to meet you, Colin. I'll see you later Kurt." Cooper said with a wink befor running after his brother.

The anger was all back now. What the hell was Blaine's problem? If he was truly that disgusted with Kurt, maybe he should get a new roommate. He decided to deal with it later. Right now he was going to enjoy getting coffee with this attractive man who was not only gay, but seemed genuinely interested in getting to know Kurt.

The boys continued their way into the coffee shop and headed to the counter to order. "It's on me. Order whatever you'd like." Colin whispered in Kurt's ear before turning to the barista. "I'll have a medium caramel macchiato. And for this guy..."

"Oh, a um, grande non-fat mocha please." Kurt said. "Thank you, Colin."

"It's my pleasure, really." Colin smiled at Kurt.

They grabbed their coffees and sat down near the back of the shop. The next forty-five minutes were spent with the boys talking. Kurt found it was really easy to talk to Colin. He talked about Ohio and his dream of coming to New York and what he wanted in the future. Colin talked about his passion for dancing, growing up in London and his decision to move to America for college.

Colin looked down at his watch then stood up abruptly. "Oh shit."

"Everything okay?" Kurt asked concerned.

"I've got to work in twenty minutes. I had a really good time, Kurt, and I'd really like to do it again." Colin said with the smile that never seemed to leave his face.

"Yeah, I would too." Kurt smiled back. They exchanged numbers and said their goodbyes with Colin promising to call soon.

Kurt was on cloud nine all the way back to the apartment. He's never had someone romantically interested in him before and it felt really nice. Especially when that someone could pass as a model and had a British accent.

The smile was still on Kurt's face when he unlocked the apartment door and walked in. It started to fade when he saw Blaine in the kitchen making a sandwich. "Where's Cooper?" He asked when he noticed the older brother was nowhere around.

"He went to bring his stuff to the hotel." Blaine said, not looking up from the counter. Kurt nodded and started walking towards his room but stopped when he heard Blaine speak again. "How was your date?" He asked with venom.

Kurt had to force himself not to yell at Blaine. "It was great actually. Thanks for asking." He said sarcastically. He heard Blaine make a disapproving laugh. "What the hell is your problem?" Kurt was now yelling. "Do I really make you that uncomfortable?"

"I already told you, I'm not uncomfortable and I meant it." Blaine said in his normal tone.

"Then why are you acting like I'm some disgusting creature! I mean you won't even look at me!" Kurt was still yelling.

Blaine slowly lifted his head and looked at Kurt. "There's nothing wrong with you, Kurt."

"Then tell me what is going on!" Kurt said moving closer to Blaine.

"I can't." Blaine said barely above a whisper. His eyes started to water a bit.

Before Kurt could say anything else, the door opened and Cooper walked in. He has really awful timing. Cooper stopped when he saw Kurt and Blaine. Kurt, shaking a bit from his emotions, walked back to his room and closed the door without saying another word.
