As Kurt and Rachel Entered the Lima Bean, he was greeted by a familiar image, to his surprise the Supermegafoxyawesomehot boy was sat at the same table as last week.

“But Rachel” Kurt Pleaded. “You’re only 18”

“I know that” Rachel said somewhat distracted “but I’ve known for three years that Finn is my soul mate”

Finn had proposed to Rachel on Friday, She had to give him answer, she just couldn’t decide. It was getting on Kurt’s nerves to be constantly put on the spot every time he entered the same room It’d be “Kurt, Rachel hasn’t said anything to you yet has she?” or “Kurt, you watch all those romantic films, is it normal for me to be left waiting?” or the most often asked question “Kurt, what will I do if she says no?” this always lead to long conversations often ending in Finn being hungry.

“Hey, Rachel, Kurt” the Blonde boy shouted, Jeff, Kurt recalled his name was. “Come join us”

As they walked over Kurt noticed the, handsome dark haired boy sigh. This week he was clad in tight yellow pants, a cute navy polo shirt and a white jacket.

“Hey” said Jaime beaming. “I didn’t know you knew Jeff, Rachel”

“Oh yeah, our parents really good friends” stated Rachel

“Yeah me and Rachey go way back, anyway time for introductions I think” Said Jeff with an extremely mischievous look on his face.

“Okay, Well, I’m Kurt Hummel” Kurt Said Awkwardly

With that announcement the beautiful dark haired boy turned. Kurt stared in wonder and amazement at the way the boys curls bounced, his angular jaw line, his triangular eyebrows and then they settled on the big, puppy like, round amber eyes. Kurt had to physically shake himself out of the trance when he heard Jeff introducing his boyfriend Nick.

“Oh Hi, I’m Blaine Anderson” Said Blaine, still mesmerized by the beautiful blue eyes belonging to the tall lean boy stood in front of him.

Kurt Hummel was not as Blaine envisaged him throughout this past week, in fact he was the polar opposite, where imaginary Kurt was rough, callous and cold the real Kurt Hummel was soft, warm and gentle. Maybe, Blaine thought, maybe Kurt Hummel was exactly what he needed.

“Blaine. Blaaiinnee” Nick’s voice came through his haze of transfixion.

“Oh…err…sorry, just got lost I my thoughts” said Blaine nonchalantly

Which wasn’t a complete lie he did get lost in his thoughts. Unwelcome thoughts about the new boy and his eyes, he found himself wondering what it’d be like just being able to stare in to those gorgeous crystal clear blue eyes every day, without making a spectacle of himself. He wondered just what would make those eyes sparkle and gleam. He hated thinking about these things. He’d given up relationships; Logan was the reason for that. After his break-up with Logan, Blaine’s view of the world shifted. Logan lit up Blaine’s life and made him feel special and wanted a whole lot more than he did at his old school... or at home for that matter. The first thing he noticed about Logan, and probably the main thing he’ll remember, was Logan’s piercing green eyes.

After that period of reminiscing Blaine wiped a tear, inconspicuously, from his eye. His vision was slightly blurred so he didn’t see Rachel and Jeff exchange smirks of satisfaction.

Sometime during Blaine blast from the past Jaime must have gone to go get their coffee because there she stood at Blaine’s shoulder tray full of coffee and a look of a concerned mother on her face.

“Okay, So one medium drip, one Grande non-fat mocha, one Grande soy caramel latte, an espresso and a regular cappuccino.” She said with a hint of concern in her voice.

Blaine and Nick gave Jeff a stern look.

“What?!?” Jeff Said innocently.

“espresso Jeff, espresso, that’s what” Said his Boyfriend.

Kurt felt confused, like he was missing something important. He didn’t linger on that thought or too long, as his mind kept drifting to the beautiful eyed boy in front of him. He hoped he didn’t look too conspicuous glancing over at the boy though his eyelashes.

“Blaine, can I talk to you a minute?” said Jaime.

Blaine Nodded and followed her to the kitchens.

“Okay, honey what’s up” said Jaime in a very motherly manner.

“Nothing” Blaine Lied.

“Blaine” Jaime demanded. “Come on, I’ve known you five years, you can’t hide anything from me. So spill”

Blaine loved Jaime, he did, but she could see right through his facades. He hated the way she knew him like the back of her hand, that she could tell when he was lying or hiding feelings. He hated that she could take one look and know exactly was on his mind. But at the same time he loved all of it.

“It’s just his eyes Jaime, His beautiful crystal, blue eyes. They got me thinking about what would make them sparkle and light up, they’re we’re pretty but there was no real spark behind them, and I wanted to put it there. But Logan hurt me, broke me down… I can never be fixed.” Blaine sobbed in to Jaime’s shoulder. “I just don-don’t want to-to get hurt a-again, Jaime.”

And with that he collapsed in to her arms tears falling uncontrollably.

“Hush, now Blainey, I know it scary and hard when you’ve just had heart broken.” Jaime sighed into the shorter boy’s curls. “But it gets better I promise”

“So, what is it with Jeff and espresso?” asked Kurt curiously.

“Well” Nick started. “One day-“

“Nooo Do we really have to tell that story” Jeff interrupted.

“Come on, Jeff acceptance is the first step”

“Oh, alright sweetie”

“It was exam time at Dalton” Nick began. “And all the juniors were preparing to take their final examinations. Patience was short, tension was high and sleep was little. Students tried to cope with it as well as they could, most students tried creating strict timetables however Jeff he decided to drink espressos” he said incredulously.

Kurt let out a snort of derision.

“Okay, okay so it wasn’t my best idea” stated Jeff

“Wait…” laughed Rachel “you have good ideas?”

Jeff gave her a meaningful glare and regained her composure.

“A-as you were sa-saying Nick” she stuttered.

“So one day Jeff had drunk… what was it honey, seven espressos?” Said nick stifling his giggles.

“Five” said Jeff looking sheepish.

“Oh right, yeah five, and he was literally bouncing off the walls of our dorm room when I arrived back from my Study session, with Blaine. Jeff was totally hyper he was talking at the speed of light I didn’t even know what he was saying half the time. But later that evening” a huge smile played on Nick’s lips and he stared lovingly in to Jeff’s eyes. “He came up to me and he said-”

“And I said, I love you man, you’ve always been there for me” Jeff said a single tear rolling down his cheek he reached out for his boyfriends hand. “Now I want to be there for you, I want to be the guy who lifts you spirits when your down-”

“I want to be the one to make you smile, the one guy who puts the sparkle in your eye, the first person you think of when you wake up and the last you think of at night” they said lovingly together harmonising slightly.

“And then he kissed me” Nick said grinning from ear to ear, eyes sparkling with tears.

And with that Jeff leaned in and kissed his boyfriend passionately as he withdrew Nick gave his nose a slight peck. When the turned back to Rachel and Kurt a single tear was make its way down their faces.

“That’s a beautiful story” breathed Kurt

Nick didn’t want Jeff to know the real reason he didn’t like him drinking espresso, he was too scared of losing him, he wouldn’t only be losing a boyfriend, or even a friend, he be losing a part of himself.

When Blaine arrived back at the table, he was surprised to see Kurt tearful; it made his heart ache.

“What’s going on guys?” Blaine asked.

“Oh, Nick and Jeff we’re just telling us the Jeff and the espresso story” said Rachel.

“Are you alright Blaine?” questioned Nick

“Yeah, what’s up, man?” said Jeff

“Oh, nothing” Blaine lied again. He felt Jaime’s eyes boring in to the back of his head.

“So…” Said Kurt, cutting into the slightly awkward silence. “What school do you guys attend?”

“Dalton” mumbled Blaine

“Hey guys” Jaime said cheerfully. “I’m sorry to tell you we’re out of cucumbers”

Both Blaine’s and Kurt’s face fell.

“Aww Jaime, “Kurt said Forlorn “I was looking forward to my Sunday ‘Jaime Beatty’ speciality cucumber sandwich”

Kurt liked Jaime’s cucumber sandwiches Blaine thought. Even though Blaine had only known him a few minutes, Blaine felt like he knew Kurt, Like Kurt knew him, he felt like they could both read each other’s actions an know exactly what the other meant, NO Blaine screamed internally, I’ve given up on relationships he said, but then Jaime’s words came back to him “I know it scary and hard when you’ve just had heart broken. But it gets better I promise.”

Maybe, just maybe Blaine could open up his heart and be vulnerable again. After all the heart heals over time, doesn’t it?
