Kurt was in line when I got to the Lima Bean.

"One grande non-fat Mocha and one medium drip." He told the barista.

"Could you make that medium drip a decaf please?" I asked coming up behind him.

She nodded.

"Thank you."

We got our drinks and found an empty table.

"Decaf?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah....I can't have caffeine, it interferes with my anti-depressants." I shrugged.

"How long.....?" Kurt asked.

"Since we broke up. I'm fine though, really" I admitted.

"Is that why Wes is sitting over there watching you like a mama bear?"

"Yeah, he's a worrier."

We both took a sip of our coffees and then looked at each kind of awkwardly, we hadn't been around each other like this since our break-up and now neither of us really knew how to act around the other.

"Why did you want to see me Kurt?" I asked.

"I...I haven't forgiven you but I...I miss you Blaine and I was thinking maybe we could try being friends?"

"Just friends?"

"It's all I can handle right now."

"Yes we can be friends Kurt."

"Good."

"I really am sorry Kurt." I told him

"I know."

I rubbed the back of my neck. This was so awkward.

"You are wearing a cuff." Kurt observed.

"Oh...yeah. I got tired of the looks so I figured I would put one on." I lied.

"You are lying to me Blaine."

"Ok, the truth is I....I got a name."

"Oh wow. When?"

"It was there the morning after....after I did what I did."

"So....is it his name?"

"NO!" I said quickly and a bit too loudly, Wes raised his eyebrow and started to get up to come over but I waved him off.

"Who is it then?"

"Can I...can I keep that to myself for the time being? I will tell you at some point I promise. It's just...I'm still processing everything."

"Sure."

"Thanks. How's Mark?"

He looked at me incredulously.

"What? We're friends now aren't we? This is the kind of things friends ask about."

"We dated for a little bit but we broke up."

"But how is that possible? You two are soul mates."

He shrugged.

"Did you really quit the Warblers?" Kurt asked me.

"Yeah. I just don't feel like singing anymore."

"That's a shame, you are so good."

"Thanks. Are you guys ready for Regionals?"

"No..." he shot a look towards Wes. "I mean of course we are; we are so going to kick the competition's ass."

"We'll see about that." Wes replied.

I didn't realise he could hear our whole conversation. That could actually be a good thing he can help me analyze everything later back at Dalton.

Kurt laughed at Wes' comment and my heart skipped a beat. I wanted to lean across the table and kiss him like I used to before I fucked everything up.

"I should go." Kurt said as if he had read my mind.

"Yeah ok. I'll see you soon?"

"Of course, maybe we can catch a movie this weekend."

"Sound great."

I stood to give him a hug before he left, that's what friends do right? Of course they probably usually melt into it the way I did or hold each other for as long. I mean when I hug the other Warblers it's usually one of those one armed hugs but then again Kurt and I haven't really seen each other in two months so maybe long, tight hugs are the norm for friends who spent a lot of time apart. I don't know.
