Monday came faster which was a blessing but also a curse for Kurt. It was a blessing because he'd finally be at work instead of lazing around the house all day watching re-runs of America's Top Model, it was a curse because he'd have to keep his cool all day in front of Anderson dreamy-pants (okay that wasn't the nickname Kurt was going to give him but it was a work in progress) so he didn't show his giant crush on the guy too much.

He arrived at work at 8:30; half an hour before the guy himself strolled in, looking dapper in his suit and tie. Kurt had been arranging his desk when he walked in and as soon as he spotted him Kurt smiled warmly and greeted him good morning and Blaine smiled back in return, he actually smiled not a fake - oh I'm just being polite smile - an actual smile with teeth and everything! Kurt wondered if the 'oh my god this guy is gorgeous' feeling would ever ware of when he looked at him, so far it seemed unlikely.

"Morning Kurt, just give me a few to settle down in my office and I'll call you in to go over your duties," Kurt nodded and watched as Blaine walked into his office, sighing a slumping back in his chair when he heard the door click.

"Keep it together Hummel," he said to himself. He sat there for a few minutes fiddling with some post-it notes and trying to find the perfect position on his desk when he was called in to Blaine's office over the intercom, which was situated next to his computer.

He stood up, smoothed his clothes down and walked into Blaine's office, smiling all the way.

"Okay Kurt so here is a list of things I want you to do for the next for hours-" he handed him the list, Kurt's eyed widened at the amount of things on there and Blaine chuckled, "-I'm sure you can handle it right?" Blaine asked with a strange tone in his voice and if Kurt didn't know any better it sounded like Blaine was flirting.

"Of course, I am more than capable Mr Anderson," Kurt smiled, slightly flirting back and Blaine looked like he was about to say something but decided against it.

"I'm sure you can," he picked up another piece of paper and handed it over to Kurt. "This is my lunch schedule, I'm on a strict deadline which means you are too; I have to eat at certain times or I don't eat at all, understand?" He looked over at Kurt for confirmation who nodded.

"Yes, busy work calls for a busy timetable I know."

"Good," Blaine smiled then. "If I need anything else I'll either call you over the intercom or if one of us isn't in the building I'll call you on this," he handed over a phone, the work phone Kurt was to use. "It has my number plus a few others which I might need you to regularly call, clients and whatnot." Kurt looked at the phone, he had Blaine's number. That shouldn't cause the butterfly feeling in his stomach but it did, it wasn't like he was asking him out it was work related for crying out loud. "Any questions?"

"No, all set." Blaine nodded and Kurt left his office, eyeing the list. "Well, guess I better get started on all this then."

Kurt was so engrossed in work, furiously typing away at his computer, that he didn't see Cooper Anderson walk in front of his desk.

"Uh… where is Mellissa?" Kurt's head shot up startled.

"She uh… she's not working for Mr Anderson anymore, I'm his new PA." Kurt put out a hand. "I'm Kurt Hummel."

Cooper shook it apprehensively, still studying the boy in front of him. "I'm Cooper Anderson." He flashed his winning smile and Kurt couldn't believe it, this attractive man was an Anderson too? Was the whole family gorgeous or something?

"Oh it's nice to finally meet you, I've been only working here for a day but I've only ever seen Bl- the other Mr Anderson around." Kurt blushed at almost calling Blaine by his first name.

"I'm surprised you even see him since he's always stuck in the office all day, poor guy. Doesn't know anything but wor-"

"Cooper, how nice of you to finally show up… for once." Blaine said leaning against the door frame to his office, he had taken his suit jacket off and was left in a shirt with the top button done up and his tie was loosened, Kurt couldn't help comparing the sight to what he'd look like after making out or- no stop it he's your boss. Blaine had heard the commotion outside and decided to check it out himself, he wasn't really surprised to see it was Cooper causing it.

"Ah little brother you wound me so," Cooper joked and walked over to his brother pulling him in a tight hug. "You know I've been out of town on business."

Blaine pulled away quickly, "right, any reason you're out here harassing my poor PA?"

They both walked into Blaine's office and Kurt sat there in a daze, what the hell just happened?

"So little bro I've got that case file thingy that dad wanted us to work on," Cooper said throwing the file he had onto Blaine's desk.

"Oh Cooper your vocabulary is amazing, how did you only just barely graduate high school?" Blaine teased as sat down behind his desk and he skimmed through the file.

"Wow Blaine your sarcasm is just delightful!" Cooper shot back, ungracefully throwing himself on the chair in front.

Blaine raised a brow at his brother, "are we really going to do this?"

"Nah," Cooper looked thoughtful for a second. "So… that new PA…"

"What about him?" Blaine asked nonchalantly, more focused on work than Cooper's small talk.

"I'm just gunna go out on a limb here… he's gay right?" Cooper asked seriously.

"I don't know I didn't ask," he made a point of looking at his brother. "Or assume, what does it matter anyway?"

"It doesn't, well not to me anyway… but dad…" Cooper shrugged.

"I'll deal with that, if he works hard why does it matter if he'd gay or straight?"

"It doesn't," Cooper said matter of fact.

"Well then, no further discussion is needed."

Blaine had never really 'explored' his sexuality or even thought of it much, he had dated a few girls (mainly to keep his parents happy) but he never felt a strong emotional connection to them, or anyone for that matter. He could appreciate someone's looks, regardless of gender. But that was as far as it went, maybe it was because he was too busy trying to please his father and become successful that he didn't have time to find anyone that he could connect with on those kinds of levels.

Blaine didn't have many, or any, friends either. He never did, growing up he had always been the quiet 'nerdy' type. He got on with school and got all the best grades and spent most of his time studying, he didn't have time for friends or for fun, he wanted to make his parents proud, he had wanted to for so long that he even forgot why he wanted to do it. It was like second nature to him, every decision he made was one to get him better at whatever he was doing and to be better would mean more respect from his father. That's just how it was for him.

Which is why Cooper got so angry at him and why Blaine couldn't understand Cooper, they were two completely different people, they worked the same jobs, had the same level of respect from their father but Cooper did what he wanted to, he partied, he met girls (and sometimes boys if you'd believe his drunken ramblings) and he still managed to be a damn good lawyer and a perfect son. Cooper always wanted Blaine to 'loosen up' a bit which was why there was so many failed attempts to take him out for the night with him, so many drinks thrown in Blaine's face because he just didn't know the appropriate way to talk to a girl who was trying to stick their tongue in his throat; something he did not want.

Even through all their differences though, Cooper was still Blaine's best friend (he didn't have much competition but-) it was because even though Cooper wished that Blaine would come out of his shell some more, he understood why he was like that, he was a son of Benjamin Anderson after all.

"Urm Mr Anderson?" Kurt asked, knocking on Blaine's door.

"Come in Kurt."

Kurt opened the door and stood in the doorway, "I'm on my way to get your lunch now and I wondered if you wanted me to get your brother anything."

"I'm fine thanks Kurt," Cooper winked and Kurt blushed, causing Blaine to shake his head. Cooper had a weird effect on people. "I was just leaving anyway, I'll call ya tonight Blaine." He patted Kurt on the shoulder before leaving, "make sure he doesn't do too much work will ya," he laughed as Kurt's eyes widened before walking away.

"Sorry about that," Blaine sighed. "He doesn't really have any type of filter."

Kurt smiled and said "It's fine," and made his way out to get Blaine's lunch.

Kurt arrived back 40 minutes later, just on time. "Here is your lunch Mr Anderson, just how you like it. Or so the man behind the counter told me…"

"Wes?" Blaine laughed as he opened the packaging on his sandwich.

"Yeah, I think that was his name."

"Yeah, I only really get my lunch from there, had the same thing every day." Blaine bit into his sandwich and groaned and it was the most sexual noise Kurt had ever heard from anyone just eating lunch before.

"Yeah as soon as I said the order he guessed I was your new PA." Kurt laughed, standing awkwardly in the doorway. "Well I better go and leave you to your lunch…"

"Come sit if you want, you must be starving yourself, did you get yourself anything?" Blaine asked taking a break from eating.

"I packed my own lunch, I'm kind of a fussy eater." He walked out of the office and Blaine momentarily felt disappointed for some unknown reason until Kurt came back in a minute later holding what looked like a very stylish lunchbox, he sat down and noticed Blaine was staring at it incredibly. "Uh, Kurt Hummel original," Kurt smiled. "Anything can look a little better with a few gems."

"I'm sure." Blaine laughed and took another bite of his sandwich. He had no idea why he was so willing to sit with Kurt during his only break, he never once did that with Mellissa, something was different about Kurt, something was drawing him towards him. "Even his sandwiches look stylish."

"I admit I have a slight fashion problem…" Kurt said, embarrassed and Blaine almost face palmed, did he really say that out loud?

"Uh sorry I didn't-"

"It's fine," Kurt interrupted with a smile "I'm actually flattered you noticed."

Blaine and Kurt sat in a comfortable silence just eating until Blaine had finished and he finally broke the silence, "so you said something in your interview about performing, NYADA or something? So do you like to sing or-" Blaine said pretending he didn't remember word for word of their conversation that day, he knew Kurt wanted to be on Broadway he just wanted to hear Kurt talk about it, really.

"Yes! Sing and dance, my dream was Broadway," Kurt's eyes had this far away look before he literally shook his head out of it. "But I guess some dreams just don't come true," he smiled sadly and Blaine wanted to reach out and touch his hand for comfort but decided against it, it would be unprofessional after all and also he didn't want to admit to himself he wanted to touch Kurt for more than just comfort, a bit part of him just wanted to see if his skin felt as soft as it looked.

"-do?" Kurt looked at Blaine expectantly and Blaine realised he wasn't listening to a word the younger boy was saying.

"Uh sorry, can you repeat that? I kind of spaced out…" Blaine asked embarrassed.

"Sure, I just asked if you've always wanted to be a lawyer or was there some dream you wanted to do?" Blaine thought for a moment, he could tell him the truth of course that he wanted to carry on playing the guitar and maybe make a career as a musician, but his dad had confiscated it off him when he was younger telling him it was 'a waste of time' to do such things, so he gave up on that dream pretty quickly. He still wrote songs however, when no one else was around but him and his music.

"Nope, always wanted to be a lawyer," he lied. "I mean it's kind of in my blood, my dad is one, my grandfather was, his dad and so on."

"Woah, sounds very…" Kurt looked thoughtful, trying to find the right word and Blaine caught himself hanging on to everything Kurt said. "…nice."

"You don't seem too convinced," Blaine joked.

"Well it's not something I would have done but I guess it's each to their own."

"Oh yeah? What would you have done if you were me?" Blaine asked, he hadn't had a conversation like this in a while and Kurt was just incredibly interesting to him.

"Well… I wouldn't have based my dreams and aspirations based on what my family expects of me, or what they've done. My father was a mechanic and so was his father, I could have taken over his shop I mean I'm pretty handy when it comes to cars but-" Blaine immediately imagined Kurt in grease covered overalls and felt his throat dry up, why that was so appealing to him he didn't know and right now didn't want to know. "-that doesn't mean I wont find my own way in life, do my own thing."

"Well I guess that's why we're different people then, I've always wanted to be a lawyer regardless, so I guess that's that," Blaine dropped the subject and Kurt decided to let it go, he didn't believe him for one second however something was incredibly off the way Blaine talked about his 'dreams' Kurt decided he didn't know him well enough right now to dig any further but he made it his mission to get to know the person behind the mask of 'Mr Anderson'. He wanted to get to know Blaine and he would, you can count on that.
