Monday came around and it was the weirdest Monday that Blaine had ever experienced in his life. It was a good kind of weird but still it was weird. The first unusual thing that happened earlier that morning came in a form of a text message that he wasn't expecting to come anytime soon.

----------------------------------

October 22 (7:42 a.m.)

October 22 (7:43 a.m.)

Should I leave him to sleep or should I take him with me? – K.

----------------------------------

It was really happening. Kurt really had his phone number and he didn't just make it all up in his head. He had to bang his head on a wall a few times to be sure if this was real. Once sure, he scrambled to type a message back. I need something that sounds casual.

----------------------------------

October 22 (7:50 a.m.)

Are you really Kurt? Is that really James? Am I alive? Is this a dream?

Is that your bed? Can you take a photo of yourself? I'm being weird. I feel like a pervert.

Good morning! You should take him with you. :) – Blaine

----------------------------------

Blaine waited for a few moments, it was almost 8 a.m. and the coffee shop would be open any minute now. If he was lucky, he would be seeing Kurt today and that means that they were talking even before they met that day. For some reason, that made Blaine want to scream like a little girl.

----------------------------------

October 22 (7:52 a.m.)

James is currently having relations with my bed. This is weird. – K.

October 22 (7:52 a.m.)

Lure him into your bag with cat food. That'll work.

(7:53 a.m.)

Anyway, would you like a cupcake to go with your mocha today? - Blaine

October 22 (7:56 a.m.)

Yes please. You know me so well Blaine. See you later! – K.

----------------------------------

Blaine immediately knew that this was going to be an amazing day, nothing can ruin the day for him. Not even the first customer that spilled his coffee all over the floor because he looked too sleepy and unfocused to be out of bed at 8:30 a.m. Not even when a lady took almost 10 minutes trying to decide her coffee order. No, nothing can ruin this day that was started with a simple photo of a cat.

He kept tapping the counter, waiting for 10 a.m. to finally kick in and to see the familiar camera flashes. They weren't early today so the paparazzi were with them when they arrived. Kurt was in his usual celebrity attire, complete with a pair of sunglasses and a smile as he made his way through the door, happily chatting with Rachel while Alex led the way.

Once inside, Blaine couldn't help but notice how Rachel took a sudden interest in him. Her eyes shone with curiosity and as much as Blaine wanted to ask about it, of course he couldn't. The three made their way to the counter, accepting autographs from the young people in the shop that recognized them. Alex stood in Sam's line while Kurt and Rachel were standing on Blaine's line. Blaine gave Kurt a small smile which Kurt returned full on.

"I see you brought him with you." Blaine nodded towards the bag that was slung over Kurt's shoulder. The bag meowed and Blaine instantly knew that James was in there, tucked somewhere. It was only proved to be true when his head popped out.

"I fear that he's going to tear my bed apart if I leave him there." Kurt laughed. Blaine nodded as he excused himself to work on their coffee.

He already had the lemon cheesecake ready but he didn't want to make the coffee until they arrived so that he can serve it nice and hot for Kurt. Blaine was working on the coffee when Rachel Berry started interrogating him about the Chinatown rendezvous with Kurt.

"So Blaine, I heard that you and Kurt went to Chinatown last Saturday." Rachel started. Kurt rolled his eyes but didn't leave anyway. Rachel's been blabbing nonstop about Chinatown since that night Kurt told him about it.

Blaine smiled at the memory. That memory reminded him that he became friends with Kurt and they spent the night together walking through different pet shops and buying James. It's a special moment for him. "Yeah, we had fun." Blaine responded simply, pouring the milk into Kurt's cup. Rachel's coffee was just simple so he finished doing it first.

"When's the next time you're going to go out?" Rachel winked at Kurt and the other man just rolled his eyes again. Kurt swears that if he keeps spending his time with Rachel, his eyes would eventually fall off. Blaine thought about the question before looking up at Kurt, as if asking for an answer. Kurt held his gaze and smiled.

"If I remember correctly, we'll see each other this Friday at Music Sheets & Lyrics." Kurt reminded Blaine as if Blaine wasn't thinking about that all day yesterday already but he just needed to make sure that it was still on. Rachel's face brightened up.

"Can I come? We got nothing scheduled for Friday night right? Filming ends at 7 p.m. right?" Rachel asked no one in particular as she checked the schedule on her phone. She squealed a little when she saw that she was free. "Alright! It's been a long time since I've gone out with friends. This is exciting!" She gushed.

Blaine finished the coffee and placed it on a tray, handing Kurt his usual Monday cupcake and a sticky note attached to the cup. Kurt noticed it and couldn't help but smile, he'll be reading it later.

"Well this sucks but we're not staying. We just really dropped by to get our coffee." Alex informed Blaine and Sam, looking a bit dejected because of all the things that they needed to accomplish that day. Blaine tried to hide his disappointment; on the upside, he has Kurt's number, they're always in contact now.

"Thanks for the coffee guys. See you around." Rachel waved as she made to turn towards the door. Before they got out, Blaine gathered up all his morning courage and called out to Kurt who looked back, a little confused.

"Can I send you a message anytime?" Blaine asked shyly, blushing as he did so. He's never been this forward to someone and it's definitely weird asking this question to a celebrity. But Kurt nodded.

"Of course you can. Just don't freak out if I don't reply immediately as I'm really busy right now. But my phone is always open." Kurt said with a smile, giving Blaine a playful salute before putting his sunglasses on and heading out of the coffee shop.

Blaine noticed the way Sam was staring at him with a knowing smile on his face. Blaine feigned innocence but he knew what Sam was thinking, he knew that Sam was happy for him. He was the one who told him to take it step by step.

Kurt Hummel was never the one who didn't show gratitude which is why when he got to his trailer on his break, he immediately thought of a plan to thank Blaine for what he did that Saturday night. Their little adventure to Chinatown never made it to the newspapers so Kurt knew that Blaine wasn't using him to be famous and he doesn't look like someone who'd use people, he's too adorable for that.

It was halfway through the day when an idea came into his mind through the form of fans touring in their studio and he thought: hey, why not let Blaine see what my life is like?

Kurt smiled, this was perfect. Alex couldn't help but notice the silence that was currently Kurt Hummel, he wasn't even gushing about something which wasn't the least bit normal; he would usually gush about new people in the industry or fashion or his few celebrity crushes during his break but now it was total silence with him.

"Why are you smiling like that Mr. Kurt Hummel?" Alex wiggled her eyebrows at Kurt when she couldn't stop herself anymore. Kurt gave him a look and Alex chuckled, saying "You know why this is weird? It's because you only smile like that when you're texting Rachel about boys and right now, you are so not texting Rachel." She pointed out.

Kurt continued to type on his phone, "And how would you even know that I'm not texting Rachel?" He inquired, trying not to be suspicious but he knew that Alex would know eventually.

Alex held up her phone and waved it in front of Kurt. "Because Rachel is filming in Studio 1 right now, I just got off the phone with her and she said she wasn't going to take calls and texts until filming is done." She said. "So, who is this mystery person that can't get you off your phone?" Alex asked curiously.

Kurt looked up at Alex from his phone, stared her down but sighed when the woman mouthed "I'm waiting" with her hands on her hips. "He's not so much of a mystery than you think." Kurt replied as his phone buzzed again.

"Blaine Anderson." Alex said in voice that reeks of the tone 'why did I even ask?'. She noticed his phone buzzing again and Kurt making a look that Alex hasn't seen in recent years and she didn't hesitate to point it out, "You have that look!" She excitedly said.

Kurt frowned in confusion. "Look? What look? Is there something on my face?" He immediately checked his face for lunch or snack residue but there was none. Alex was giving him her 'aww, you're adorable Kurt' so he had to throw one of his pillows at her. "Why are you looking at me like I'm a 5 year old kid?"

"Blaine Anderson, musician extraordinaire and your personal barista – don't even deny it" Alex added when Kurt started to say 'No, he's not', "—is making you giddy and you like it. You like him." She sighed, smiling like an idiot. Kurt couldn't help but laugh and roll his eyes at Alex, getting his attention back to the phone. "The cute thing about this is that you're not even telling me I'm wrong or that you're just showing him a little gratitude for what he did last Saturday and stuff like that." Alex giggled.

"That is what I am doing. You understand me like no other Alexandra Simmons," He paused. "Well, you understand me like Rachel Berry is what I meant." He laughed. "I just thought of an idea to thank him about Saturday night and also because he didn't try to change my coffee order this time."

Indeed, the note that came with his grande nonfat mocha says 'I'm sorry about your mocha being the jealous type. I've decided to just do the art on it. I hope that's fine with your coffee order. :D – B.' It was really adorable.

"And may I ask what idea this is? Also, I'd want to receive a thank you gift from you because if it wasn't for my dating Sam, you wouldn't even be friends with Blaine." Alex pointed out, getting up and heading over to the door as someone knocked, alerting them that Kurt has a scene and was supposed to be inside the studio in 10 minutes.

Kurt, however, was staring at his phone; his eyes trained on Blaine's number and he smiled. "I doubt that." He answered Alex in a barely audible voice. There was too much coincidence that led to this moment – the gala and the coffee shop – so Kurt knew that even if Alex wasn't dating Sam, he would still have been friends with Blaine.

"Holy shit! Are you and Kurt Hummel on a texting basis now?"

Blaine whipped his head around and saw Mike behind him, reading his texts. He was at MS&L and was thinking of a set list for his performance but he was so currently pre-occupied with his phone. Tina's grin was so exaggerated that Blaine wondered if her face would be torn apart soon. He had forgotten to tell them all about the Saturday night hang out with Kurt because of Wes' sudden interest in his life thus resulting with him being interrogated almost the whole day of Sunday.

"Blaine, you're not telling us stuff. Now spill." Mike added with a smile as he sat down opposite of Blaine, ready to listen to the story. His phone vibrated again and it was Kurt, he excused himself for a moment before turning to Mike and Tina to retell the Chinatown story for the nth time that day. By the end of the story, Tina was trying not to squeal in excitement by clawing into Mike's arms.

"So that happened and now we're kind of friends and it's awesome just being his friend." Blaine fought down a blush that threatened to creep up his cheeks.

"Blaine, that's amazing! Can you introduce me to him? I mean, I hate to be a user and I know you like him and I love Mike but he's really hot and I want to just shake his hand or ask for an autograph or something like that." Tina gushed as she sat beside Blaine, shaking his arms.

Blaine laughed, he knew Tina was a big fan. "Of course. He'll be here Friday night so if you want to see him, just show up. And don't worry, he's really nice." He said. Mike, however, was deep in thought as he scribbled down some stuff on his open notebook. He clapped his hands as he reached his eureka moment.

"Klaine." Mike simply said, earning confused looks from Blaine and Tina. The man rolled his eyes at them as he explained, "Klaine! You are going to be called Klaine and we are your first fans." Mike laughed aloud, attracting the attention of different customers. Blaine let out a small laugh.

"Mike, you are so imaginative. How can you just come up with a name for us?" Then he noticed all the scribbles on the other pages too. "Oh my god. Were you actually getting ready for this moment?" He asked curiously. He couldn't believe that Mike, of all people, wanted him to get together with Kurt. It was really funny.

Mike looked proud for some reason. "Hey, don't judge. I was thinking about Kurt co-Blaine but that's too long. Also, Blurt was on the list but seriously? Blurt? No one's going to take you seriously with that ship name." He explained, surprising both Tina and Blaine. The two of them couldn't help but laugh at Mike and his enthusiasm about the subject.

Tina gave Mike a bear hug and kissed him on the cheek. "Blaine, we are so going to start a Klaine fandom for you guys." Tina laughed.

Blaine stared at them in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his friends were really this crazy. Again, his phone vibrated and he wasn't surprised to see that it was Kurt. It was a good distraction but now he couldn't stop thinking about the word Klaine. He and Kurt have been texting each other almost all day; granted that it wasn't really continuous since Kurt had filming and Blaine had to work and wasn't allowed to use his phone while at work, still, the texts never stopped coming.

----------------------------------

October 22 (8:52 p.m.)

Hey, I haven't really thanked you for that time in Chinatown so I've been thinking, are you free on Saturday?

----------------------------------

Blaine frowned; this is the third surprise of the day. The first one was Kurt texting him that morning, the second one was Kurt still texting him throughout the day and the third one is this. Is he asking me out on a date? No Blaine, he's got to have a lot of people to choose from for that. Don't get your hopes up.

----------------------------------

October 22 (8:53 p.m.)

You really don't need to do this but yes, I am free on Saturday. :P What do you have in mind?

October 22 (9:15 p.m.)

Sorry, I just got home and had to feed James but anyway, you'll know then. Can you go to Barnes & Noble at Grove Drive on Saturday? I'll meet with you after my book signing which is at 11 a.m. Is that okay?

October 22 (9:17 p.m.)

Of course it is. I'll buy your book too! :)

----------------------------------

Kurt gave Blaine the details of what he was supposed to do on Saturday and apologized for not offering to pick him up at his apartment because he still had to film early in the morning before the book signing and was only free in the afternoon. Blaine didn't even care even if they meet in the wee hours of the morning just as long as he sees Kurt. Blaine almost forgot that he was going to play a set and that Mike and Tina were still there with him.

"So what did he say?" Tina asked curiously as she tried to peek at Blaine's phone. Blaine just gave her a smile in reply as he stood up when Wes waved at him, alerting him that it was his turn to play already. He walked over to the stage and thanked the people as they started to clap even though he wasn't playing anything just yet.

"Hey guys, something amazing keeps happening to me these past few days and it's happening still. So yeah, there's that." Blaine sat on a stool in front of his piano and proceeded to sound check. "Let me start with Smash Mouth." He smiled.

So Blaine played his cover of Smash Mouth's All Star on the piano and it was breathtakingly beautiful. He thought of some of the lyrics of the song and yeah, 'you'll never know if you don't go'. He smiled, maybe he needs to step it up a little bit when the time comes.

It was the longest week that Blaine has ever had; he was so excited for Friday night that he couldn't help but glance at the clock every time he can, as if that will help. He can't even sleep properly at night as he thought of what he was going to sing on Friday; it was the first time that Kurt will hear him sing so he needed to impress him but he didn't want to be over the top with his songs.

The whole week was spent staring at people who entered the coffee shop that was not Kurt or Rachel. But Alex dropped by thrice that week, getting her coffee and telling them that Kurt and Rachel were too busy so they couldn't get their own coffee but "Kurt is itching to get out of that trailer of his". Blaine knew, of course, that Alex was busy too but she was doing the effort of trying to see Sam in spite of her busy schedule.

Blaine wasn't complaining or being jealous though because he kept in contact with Kurt through text messages. He was starting to get used to always having Kurt around even through his phone. They easily became friends, talking from Vogue to Broadway to James and how the cat was trying to control Kurt's life. He would laugh to himself sometimes when he reads a text from Kurt and his friends would all look at him like he was crazy but he knew that they understood. They always do.

So when Friday came along and he was standing on stage in front of the usual crowd of MS&L, he almost blacked out because he was seeing Kurt's table with Rachel, Sam, Alex, Wes, Mike and Tina (who was actually not paying him any attention and was just staring intently at Kurt). He has never been so terrified in his life.

He got the microphone and said his usual hellos to the patrons. "So, I don't know if you noticed but we've got some special people here tonight." He said, nodding his head towards Kurt's table. "I'm terrified as hell to sing in front of them," Laughter ensued "but since they came here to have a good time. I will give them a hell of a good time." Blaine winked and everyone cheered.

Kurt couldn't help but notice that Blaine was a crowd favorite. He wondered why the man hadn't ventured into the music industry yet, he clearly has all the requirements to be a successful musician; he's got the talent, the charm and that painstakingly good looks along with his ridiculous amount of hair gel. But Kurt had a feeling that he'll be seeing Blaine in the limelight soon enough.

Blaine sang songs ranging from his usual Top 40s to Disney and songs by indie bands. The crowd loved it as he ended with his piano cover of Imagine Dragons' It's Time. He was glad that he didn't forget the lyrics to every song that he sang and that Kurt seemed to be listening intently to each one of them and quietly singing along with him. He thanked everyone for their cheers and requests and walked over to their table.

He sat beside Kurt as per his friends' request and constant pushes. Kurt just laughed with them and clapped Blaine on the back. "That was breathtakingly amazing. I mean, I've heard you play the piano before but piano, guitar, violin and that voice? Wow." Kurt commented sincerely. Blaine couldn't fight the blush that crept up his cheeks at the compliment. "And you're blushing." Kurt pointed out, laughing.

"Hey, stop being mean. It's because rarely get compliments that are so heartfelt." Blaine teased, raising an eyebrow at Kurt. It was Kurt's turn to blush and roll his eyes. Blaine can't even believe that they've gotten past the awkward conversations already and were now just seriously friends.

It was Mike who broke the silence with his sing-song voice saying "Klaineeeeeeee" while pointing his fingers to both guys that was sitting in front of him like he was a five year old kid who just saw his favorite toy. Wes, Alex and Sam joined in the singing, making up lyrics as they go.

"What is this unusually beautiful relationship?" Mike sang, starting a tune that Wes, Sam and Alex snapped their fingers to make a beat.

"Who would have thought it will happen?" Sam butted in, adding his own lyrics to the song.

"It was once only a dream." Tina joined in with them, laughing as she sang the words. Blaine looked horrified by now but Kurt was actually enjoying what was happening.

"Of this vertically challenged person." Wes added with a laugh, offending Blaine in the process and making him retort a loud "Hey! I have an average height thank you very much!" They ignored him and continued with their antics.

"But fate has clearly spoken" Rachel joined in with her beautiful voice dominating the table even if it was just for fun. The guys sighed upon hearing it but it didn't stop them from making up the lyrics to the song.

"And now this beautiful bond will not be broken." Alex continued with a smile, winking at Kurt and laughing with the guys. The rest of their on the spot lyrics went:

He's a superstar

The other one's a normal guy who plays guitar

He's on TV

The other one stares from afar but wait and see

Even if they might always be apart

Kurt and Blaine – They're Klaine!

It'll be forever in our hearts

"Oh my god, they started a fan club." Blaine couldn't help but bury his face in his hands, too embarrassed because of his friends. He looked up at an amused looking Kurt. "I'm so sorry about this. The 'Klaine' thing was Mike's idea and I couldn't stop him and I swear I had nothing to do with this." He explained. Kurt just chuckled while the others continued singing what Rachel called "The Klaine Song".

"Well, my friends are embarrassing too. I mean look at Rachel and Alex." Kurt pointed out and indeed, Alex was now singing in gibberish while practically throwing herself at Sam and Rachel was just adding different lyrics to the song that doesn't even make sense. "Apparently, we've got great chemistry since they started shipping us together." Kurt laughed. "It's alright. And besides, I wouldn't mind being paired up with you." He winked and softly bumped his shoulder with Blaine's and joined in the song by clapping his hands.

Blaine's jaw dropped and he had to take a swig of his drink before he could process what Kurt said. Kurt wouldn't mind being paired with him? Is he flirting with me? Am I allowed to flirt back? This is good, isn't it? It messed with his head; the fact that Kurt was alright with it and that he accepted that they were called Klaine by his crazy friend was too much for Blaine and now Kurt was joining in and making lyrics such as "It started over stiff suits, a white wine and martini" making Blaine giddy because that was exactly what happened the first time they met and this means he remembers me from the gala.

When he calmed down and regained his composure, he couldn't help but say in a quiet voice, "Hey, I don't mind being paired with you too." Loud enough for Kurt to hear and glance his way to give him a soft smile.

Blaine has no idea what he's currently doing and what his emotions are doing to his brain and certain parts of his body right now, he's just winging it.

And winging has never been this much fun.
