Kurt didn't have class with Blaine again until Wednesday but Blaine had sent a text to set up a meeting during his break between classes. Kurt had a class, but it was just History of Musical Theatre. That was something Kurt could teach in his sleep. He eagerly sat early in the student union inside of the coffee shop. There was a cookie and coffee waiting.

"Kurt!" It was Rachel. Crap. "What are you doing here? I thought you had class."

Kurt sat up and put on a smile, "I did. It was cancelled though."

"Oh. In that case, I was wondering if you would want to talk about the duet for this weekend." Rachel helped herself to the empty chair. Blaine's chair. Kurt clenched his jaw.

"What about it?" Kurt asked. He moved his head to look around Rachel, Blaine should have been coming any minute now.

"I'm really sorry about the thing that happened with Blaine. But now me and you can do the audition together again." She smiled and clapped her hands together.

Kurt pursed his lips. "I'm still doing the audition with Blaine."

Rachel's mouth dropped open. Kurt braced himself for a scene. She slammed her hands on the table. "What?"

"I said I am still doing the duet with Blaine." Kurt repeated with the same level of indifference.

Rachel, not caring that people were now looking in their direction, kept her voice raised. "He has a boyfriend Kurt."

Kurt glanced and mouthed an apology to some of the others in the coffee shop. Then he turned his attention on Rachel, his eyes narrowed. "Rachel, it's just an audition, it's not sex."

"I know but you should be careful. I don't want you to get hurt anymore than you already are." Rachel had decided to lower her voice. She stared at Kurt in concern. He held her gaze the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.

"We're just friends." Kurt reassured her. He wished it wasn't the case though.

Rachel smoothed her skirt, momentarily avoiding eye contact. "I'm not trying to be nosy, you just came to Mercedes and I so broken up-"

"Rachel." Kurt talked overtop of her. She closed her mouth and stared at him. "As much as I hate that criminal chipmunk, I'm not going to try and steal Blaine away from him."

He took a sip of his coffee. Rachel noticed the untouched brown paper bag. She pointed to it. "You're waiting for him now aren't you?"

"It's not a crime to meet up with a friend over coffee to discuss our audition this weekend. Now, if you'll please vacate your paranoid self from his chair." Kurt said in his snarky tone.

They were quiet and glared at one another until Rachel blinked and grabbed her bag.

"Fine."

She pushed up from the table. The chair collided with the person behind it. Rachel turned coming face to face with Blaine. The only thing that separated them was the chair she presently pushed into him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Blaine said with a kind smile. He stepped back. "Oh hey, you're Rachel. Kurt's friend. It's nice seeing you again, Kurt talks alot about you."

Kurt's eyes went wide but he stayed quiet as Rachel's head whipped in his direction. Her head snapped back to Blaine and with a cold look she stormed out of the coffee shop.

Blaine sat down sitting awkwardly on the edge of the chair watching after Rachel until she was out of sight. He faced Kurt and scooted in. "What was her problem?"

"Depends, do you have about an hour to spare?" Kurt remarked.

Blaine laughed. It was his turn to notice the coffee and the cookie waiting for him. "Do you really need a pick me up today?"

Kurt blinked. "Oh! No, that's yours. Hope you don't mind I got it for you. I was a little early. Don't worry it's still hot. I think the temperature lowered from scalding to just semi scalding."

Blaine took the coffee with an impressed smirk. "You know my coffee order."

Kurt set his coffee down, "Of course."

As Blaine looked at Kurt in that special way, Kurt remembered that the look had probably belonged to Sebastian first. He tried not to scowl at the thought. To hide his mouth Kurt took another long drink from his coffee.

"Thanks. I owe you." Blaine said.

"You bought coffee for me once so we're even. And I got us a cookie, hope you're hungry." Kurt pushed the cookie to the center of the table. This made Blaine chuckle. He nodded.

"We have our coffee. Our cookie. Now, shall we get down to business?" Blaine said carefully sipping his coffee.

"You make it sound so serious." Kurt said.

Blaine shrugged and swallowed. "I just think we should take this seriously. No goofing around."

Kurt tilted his head and crossed his legs, leaning against the back of the chair. "I wasn't aware we were goofing off."

"That's not what I meant. I just want to see you get a good part in this musical. You deserve it Kurt."

Damn Blaine and his big K-9 like eyes. He always looked so vulnerable whenever he paid Kurt a compliment and it never went unnoticed. Kurt sucked in his lower lip trying not to smile but there was really no reason he shouldn't have.

"You too."

They finished the cookie after digressing from the audition to their favorite Vogue magazine cover. They gushed for a few minutes when they shared the same opinion. They laughed for nearly a solid minute and sat back, taking to whatever remained of their coffee.

"I've got to go." Blaine said, frowning.

"Coffee tomorrow after class?" Kurt asked.

Blaine collected his cup and the cookie bag, "I'm starting to think that you have a coffee addiction."

"Not until I met you. I may seriously have to join a 12 step program now to quit."

Blaine looked at him curiously, standing now. "For me or the coffee?"

The question was meant to be a joke and Kurt knew that. However, regarding Kurt's true hidden feelings toward Blaine the question hit him hard. The air became hot and Kurt casually smiled trying not to give away how nervous he was. He couldn't respond and didn't. He waved goodbye to Blaine and sat, yet again, alone at the table for two.

Wednesday came and went. Blaine wasn't in class and he never responded to any of the texts that Kurt sent. He became worried and wondered if something he said the day before had caused Blaine to freak. Thinking back there wasn't really anything Kurt said that could have caused the sudden silent treatment.

Blaine? Are you okay?

Nothing. The clock changed over to 12:00 AM. It was Thursday. And the auditions were Friday afternoon and they hadn't practiced the song once. Around 4 AM Kurt realized he was obsessing and fell asleep at his desk. He woke up to Finn poking him in the shoulder.

"Kurt." Finn's voice was like an echo like most sounds when one stirred from sleep. Kurt blinked his eyes open and slowly pushed up from the hard desk. He cleaned the slight bit of drool from his face. His neck and back ached.

"What?" he mumbled still groggy.

"Dude, did you sleep through your classes?" Finn asked.

Kurt reached for his phone; one new text from Blaine. He was suddenly alert.

I'm really sorry about yesterday, stomach virus. Can we meet today at 3, our spot? -B

Kurt smiled broadly. "What time is it?"

Finn's brow creased, "It's 2:30. Kurt, didn't you go to class today?"

That question wasn't relevant. Kurt had only 30 minutes to get ready for his meeting with Blaine. The text had been sent to him at eleven that morning. Kurt quickly sent a reply and raided his closest. Finn stood back and out of the way of hurricane Kurt.

That's okay, I'll see you there! -B

"Why did you wake me?" Kurt asked as he grabbed his toothbrush.

"I stayed over at Rachel's and I had class." Finn replied. "What are you doing?"

"I'm meeting Blaine in thirty minutes." Kurt said. And with an armful of facial scrub, toothpaste, mouthwash, and an assortment of his moisturizers he turned and smiled at Finn before running off to the bathroom.

Kurt checked his watch as he reached the spot behind the union. He was all smiles but the figure sitting on the wall wasn't Blaine. Kurt slowed and the smile dropped from his face. He got a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. Sebastian always tended to pop up when he wasn't wanted. Which was all the time. He saw Kurt and that cocky smirk popped up on his face again. Kurt was tempted to slap it off.

"What are you doing here?" Kurt asked.

"Calm down Princess I was invited here." Sebastian said.

Kurt stopped ten feet from him not wanting to get any closer than he had to. He stood up straight and eyed Sebastian for a minute. "What do you mean?"

Sebastian tilted his head to one side. "What I mean is, my boyfriend invited me here to listen to him sing since I can't be in the audition. You do remember the term boyfriend and the fact that Blaine is my boyfriend."

Kurt fully loaded with bitch face, clenched his jaw and had to resist the urge to lash out at the walking douchbag in front of him. "I haven't forgotten."

"No. You just don't care. I guess what I told you the other day didn't sink in." Sebastian said, he looked ready to attack Kurt at any moment.

Kurt looked around, "So where is Blaine?"

Sebastian nodded toward the union, "He went to get us some coffee, oh and by us I mean excluding you."

Blaine came around the corner with two grande coffees and his usual goofy giant grin. He spotted Kurt and it wavered slightly. Kurt forced a smile. It was obvious at how uncomfortable he was.

"Uh, hey Kurt." Blaine's halfhearted greeting stung.

"You didn't tell me Sebastian was going to join us." Kurt said, "I would have invited Rachel along if I knew there was going to be an audience."

Sebastian took a sip of his coffee, a satisfied grin plastered all over his rodent like features.

Blaine glanced back and forth between Sebastian and Kurt. He even looked uncomfortable about this. "Sebastian's idea. I told him I was auditioning and he insisted he hear me sing."

Sebastian swallowed and slid his arm over Blaine's shoulder. "I couldn't miss it. Oh, by the way thanks for the grande latte mocha. You know my favorite."

Kurt's jaw quivered. That was his coffee order. He looked to Blaine perplexed and a little pissed off to be quite honest. Blaine smiled at his boyfriend. He laughed nervously and stepped away.

"Why don't we get started?"

Kurt really didn't want to perform the song he imagined him and Blaine singing in front of Sebastian. He couldn't back down. Kurt was nervous at first, probably more nervous than he would feel at the auditions. He couldn't take those beady running over him.

"The power lines went out and I am all alone-"

Kurt was hardly able to get through the song. He felt as though he was going to throw up. When they finished Sebastian clapped but he was staring at Blaine. Kurt eyed Sebastian imagining all the things he could do to him, strangle him with that dumb messenger bag of his for one. Pour the hot coffee down his shirt or pants. The list went on. It wasn't pretty.

"That was fantastic." Sebastian said coming over to meet Blaine in a hug.

Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Kurt, you were really good." Blaine said pulling apart from Sebastian. He looked like he had wanted to move over and congratulate Kurt but Sebastian was too busy holding him to his side.

"You were better." Kurt said managing a tiny smile.

"Damn right he was." Sebastian winked and kissed Blaine.

Kurt felt every muscle in his body tense and his temper flare. He went over and picked up his bag.

"Kurt! Where are you going?" Blaine broke from Sebastian much to his displeasure.

Kurt turned and put on a convincing smile, "I'm meeting Rachel, it was a good run through of the song. I'll see you tomorrow at auditions."

Blaine nodded with a sad look in his eyes, one that Sebastian did not see. Kurt waved and turned his back on Blaine. He was starting to wonder if it was really worth it. Sebastian won this round, but Kurt was sure that the next one would go to him.
