So I don't generally do one shots well but this idea doesn't seem to want to leave me alone so here it is. This is an AU Klaine meeting. I don't own Glee.

When Kurt moved to New York he never thought that he would end up working at a copy centre. NYADA had been everything he had hoped for and he graduated top of the class - beating Rachel (much to her dismay.) He still went on auditions but for the most part he worked at Copy Cat Copy Centre – the overuse of alliteration made Kurt cringe. Currently he was dealing with a regular and particularly annoying customer.

"Mr Williams, I can copy anything that you like, but you need to tell me the specifics of the paper type and size you require." Kurt smiled sweetly. Thank god for acting lessons

"Kirk."

"It's Kurt." Mr Williams got his name wrong every time.

"Right, I specifically requested colour copies on A3 paper."

Kurt grabbed the red folder and placed it on the bench, flipping through the first few pages he scanned the document and spun it around to face the customer "according to the copy request form you filled out you requested 50 copies in black and white on A4 paper. I would be more than happy to re copy for you but you will need to pay the full price."

Grabbing the A4 copies Mr Williams spun around and left the store.

"Was that who I think it was?" Penny placed her bag under the counter.

"Yeah, Mr Williams in all his glory."

"He'll never learn. Coffee?"

"Yes please." Kurt smiled at Penny. Her and Kurt always worked together and she would always come in 30minutes early and go to the coffee shop next door to get caffeine for them both. "If I wasn't gay I'd marry you."

Penny laughed "love you too Kurt."

"I didn't say anything about loving you."

"Oh hahaha." Penny retorted as she left the shop.

Kurt busied himself selecting the days radio station and cleaning up the work spaces when he heard the bell over the shop door ring. Assuming it was Penny he continued to work.

"Excuse me!"

Kurt looked up to see the most beautiful hazel eyes and adorable curly hair he'd ever seen. "Oh, um hi. Sorry about that; Welcome to Copy Cat how can I help?"

The boy smiled and Kurt was pretty sure he died. "Hi yourself, I'm Blaine and I need help with copying."

"Well Blaine, I'm Kurt" he pressed his own hand to his chest "and you've come to the right place. So what do you need?"

"Well" Blaine rummaged through his bag "I have an assignment due in 3 weeks and it's well intense."

"Ah I remember those days" Kurt sighed.

"Really? Where did you go to school."

"Ah, NYADA." Kurt whispered.

"Wow, really? I go to Tisch. I'm in my last year there. I stupidly decided on a double major and well, I am stressed out." Blaine placed is black folder on the counter.

"Double major in what?" Kurt leaned on the counter.

"Ah recorded music and theatre."

Kurt gasped "Wow, that is intense."

Blaine chuckled "yeah to say the least."

"So what do you need done today?"

"Well my final assignment for my design class is to design set, costume and lighting for a show. I chose The Tempest and I need to get it all laminated and bound."

"Alright, let's take a look." Kurt began to flip through the pages.

"We have to do a portfolio for the show. Ya know costume concepts, lighting, staging that sort of thing."

Kurt nodded as he continued to look through. "I like your staging."

"Thanks. I figured a pool with an island in the middle is kind of cliché, but so many people do crazy things with Shakespeare so I figured I'd keep it realistic."

"I get it. I saw a production of Titus Andronicus once done as physical theatre. People were rolling on the floor and bending and stretching at weird angles it distracted from the beauty of the dialogue."

"Finally someone who has some sense."

They both chuckled.

"Why thank you. So what page do you want first?"

"Ah, this one"

Blaine's hand brushed against Kurt's as he grabbed the title page.

"Of course, the title page" Kurt rolled his eyes. "If you just want to go through and put them in order for me then we can look at paper."

"Thanks" Blaine winked at him.

Kurt dropped his head to hid the blush that was on his face.

"Kurt I got your coffee." Penny rushed over to Kurt and handed him his coffee.

"Who's he" she whispered.

"Blaine" Kurt whispered quieter "needs help."

"He's cute."

Kurt smiled and nodded.

"Kurt I'll be out the back doing stock take." Penny smiled at her co-worker.

"Thanks Penny."

"All done." Blaine smiled up at Kurt.

"Great. Now let's go through paper options, then I have a form you need to fill out."

Kurt managed to convince Blaine to choose gloss paper and not laminate anything,

"Just fill out this form here. With your copy requirements and we can get started."

Blaine twirled the pen in his hand. "Kurt? Why do I have to fill out this form?"

"Oh, it's just so that we can make sure we get it right. Especailly when it's busy. We only use them for jobs that aren't straight copies or for tricky customers."

"Which am I?" Blaine grinned."

"I'm undecided." Walking back over to Blaine Kurt took the piece of paper and double checked all the information. "This should take about 15 minutes. There's a coffee shop next door if you want somewhere to hang out."

"Is it cool if I hang out here, with you?" Blaine bit down on his bottom lip.

"Ah, yeah sure" Kurt cursed his voice for being high than usual.

God he is so cute when he's nervous. Blaine decided to himself.

As Kurt worked they talked about a lot of thing and found out that they had a bit in common. They were both from Ohio, both were bullied at school and both were part of Glee clubs that had won Nationals. Kurt thought he had died and gone to heaven when they started talking about fashion.

"You look really cute in that cardigan Blaine." Kurt clamped his mouth shut. "I mean… crap." Kurt turned away from Blaine to face the wall.

"Hey Kurt, it's fine. I appreciate the compliment, you look cute too."

"Thanks" Kurt whispered failing to hid his blush. "So, here's your assignment."

Blaine flicked through the finished product "it looks great. How much do I owe you."

"It's on the house. Just remember Copy Cat Copy Centre for any future copying needs."

"Believe me I will. Bye Kurt."

Before Kurt could reply Blaine had left.

"He is too hot, to be legal" Penny confessed as she placed more coloured paper on the bench. "Did you get his number?"

"Penny" Kurt sighed "I don't even know if he is gay."

"He's Bi at the very least, I saw the way he was looking at you."

"It doesn't matter" Kurt began to bust himself "I'll never seen him again."

The next three and a half weeks went by. Kurt had a an audition for off Broadway show in the second week and was still waiting to hear back.

"Haven't seen Mr Williams in a while." Penny nursed her coffee.

"Maybe he died." Kurt shrugged.

"Kurt!"

"What? It's not like I am wishing death upon the guy jeez."

"You know who else we haven't seen for a while?"

"Don't"

"Blaaaaaine."

"Three and a half weeks today" Kurt sighed. "My life sucks" Kurt banged his head against the counter.

"Did that hurt?" a familiar voice asked.

Kurt lifted his head and rubbed the quickly forming lump "no," he rubbed it again "yes. Hi Blaine."

"Hey Kurt. I just wanted to let you know that I handed in my assignment. I haven't got a mark back yet but my professor looked impressed. So thanks"

"Well I am glad to have been of service."

All of a sudden Blaine seemed nervous.

"I ah, I also have some stuff I need copied. Just standard black and white thanks. I'll come back for it tomorrow." Blaine handed the pages to Kurt and left.

"Weird" Kurt shrugged. Taking the pages off the counter Kurt flicked through them. His heart began to pound as he read the first pages titled.

Things that are cute about Kurt.

By Blaine Anderson

Kurt nervously turned the page.

His eyes. What colour are they anyway?

Kurt chuckled, he'd always wondered the same thing. He turned the page again.

The way he blushes when he's compliment or embarrassed.

Kurt did just that.

His laugh, I want to spend days thinking of jokes just so I can hear it.

The way his voice goes higher when he's nervous.

Kurt turned to the last page

He likes coffee.

The things I don't know about him yet but really want to. If he'll let me.

Kurt sighed "I think I'm in love."

"With who?" Penny pressed start on the photo copier.

"Blaine."

"I knew it, well he is cute."

Kurt's mind began to work overtime "yeah he is." Kurt got to work formulating his plan. "This is either going to be the most amazing and brave thing I have ever done or I am going to make a dick of myself."

"Well you like dick so either way."

Kurt rolled his eyes at Penny.

At the end of the day Kurt placed the notes that Blaine had written in his bag and passed his creation to Penny. "I'm not in tomorrow so if Blaine comes in can you make sure he gets this?"

"Of course" she smiled widely "I will make sure he gets it for you."

Kurt left work that day the happiest he had been in a while.

Blaine was a nervous wreck when he walked to the copy centre the next day; his knuckles were white from gripping onto the strap of his satchel too tightly. He'd never met anyone like Kurt before, never had that connection so quickly with someone. Am I being too forward? What if he's not gay? What if he has a boyfriend? Or thinks I'm a creeper? "Fuck he thinks I'm a creeper."

"Morning Blaine" Penny sing songed as he walked into the copy centre.

"Oh hi."

"Penny." She prompted.

"Penny. Hi. Is Kurt here?"

"Sadly no, it's his day off but he wanted me to give you this." She thrust a blue manila folder at Blaine. "Happy reading."

"Thanks" Blaine turned on his heel and headed to the coffee shop next door. He had some reading to do. "Medium drip thanks." Taking the drink he headed to a secluded corner of the shop and opened the folder.

Reasons Blaine Anderson is cute

By Kurt Hummel

"Blaine Anderson-Hummel" Blaine mumbled "Wow slow down. You only just met the guy."

Blaine, your little presentation was adorable, I blushed more than I ever have before.

Blaine smiled happy to have made Kurt blush.

So why are you cute? Let me tell you.

Blaine quickly turned the page almost ripping the paper.

Your hair is gorgeous, I just want to touch it (is that too creepy?)

He chuckled and shook his head.

That little flirty wink that you do, I am pretty sure it makes my heart stop.

The fact that you are doing a double degree. You seem so driven and I really want to see you perform.

Your eyes, oh god. Honestly they are the prettiest things I have ever seen.

Blaine blinked at the page "Really?"

The way your face lights up when you smile.

Blaine took a sip of his coffee and took the time to let his heart rate get back to normal.

The cute little bow tie that you wore when we met. Please tell me you wear them a lot?

"You have no idea."

Everything Blaine.

He took a deep shaky breath.

Everything about you so far is amazing, and adorable and I want to, no I need to know more. So if you feel the same (and I suspect you do, I really hope you do) then go back to Penny and grab my address. Maybe we can watch a move or go for a walk in the park?"

Blaine skulled back his coffee – and winced as it burnt his throat. Gathering up the confession he raced back to Penny who smiled knowingly as she handed over Kurt's address.

Kurt was pacing a trait that he had most definitely inherited from his Dad who had spent hours doing the same thing when he was worried for Kurt, Carole or Finn (mostly Finn, he messed up a lot.) He checked his watch again for the 3rd time 10.34am. Once again he scanned the apartment it was clean, well it was always cleaner; Kurt Hummel did not do messy living. He'd even baked cookies last night. Shortbread, his favourite and chocolate chip in case Blaine didn't like shortbread or didn't come and Kurt would be forced to eat them in front of the television while crying. "He's not coming." Kurt continued to pace "I freaked him out." His pacing quickened "and I'm talking to myself." Kurt slammed his arms into the side of his body. Twenty minutes later and still no Blaine and Kurt was trying his upmost to not cry. "Why am I such a crier? Stupid sensitivity, stupid tear ducts." Just as Kurt was about to throw a world famous Kurt Hummel fit there was a knock at the door. Kurt counted to ten before opening it. He was greeted by a bouquet of beautiful daisies.

"Hi Kurt." Blaine popped his head out from behind the flowers.

"Hi" Kurt breathed "come in."

"These are for you." Blaine smiled shyly as he stepped into the living room and handed the flowers to Kurt.

"Th-thank you, there are beautiful." Kurt rushed to the kitchen filled a vase with water and returned and place it on the coffee table before carefully lowering in the flowers. Kurt admired the flowers for a minute. He turned to Blaine and smiled "Hi."

"Hi."

"I'm glad you came, I didn't think you would. I made some cookies. Do you want some?"

"Yeah, do you have coffee?"

Kurt rolled his eyes "of course."

"Sorry I took so long to get here, I went into school and dropped of an assignment, then I got you the flowers and walked here."

"You walked here? That's a long walk."

"Ah yeah" Blaine ran his hand along the back of his neck "I had some nervous energy to burn."

"And why, pray tell were you nervous?"

"Well" Blaine took a seat at the kitchen table "I met this cute guy at a copy centre and I am going to see him today."

"Wow, what a coincidence I met a cute guy at a copy centre too."

"I wonder if it's the same guy."

Kurt shook his head, "I don't think so."

"Good, because I will fight you for him. He seems like a good guy." Blaine leaned his chin on his hand.

Kurt blushed again.

"You're so cute when you blush" Blaine noted.

"If you keep saying nice stuff about me then you'll get to see it a lot more.

"Good."

"How do you have your coffee Blaine?"

"Black two sugars."

Kurt pulled a face but made the drink as requested.

Blaine laughed "what was that face for?"

"Black coffee. I can't handle it." Kurt took a sip of his Mocha and smiled.

"Well we will never fight over coffee will we?"

"Nope." Kurt walk towards the living room and beckoned for Blaine to follow him. "So Blaine Anderson."

"Yes Kurt Hummel?"

"What made you decided to create that little presentation for me?"

Blaine chuckled nervously "I couldn't stop thinking about you and I was too scared to tell you how I felt in person. Sorry."

"Don't apologise, I loved it, it was sweet. You're really sweet." Kurt blushed damn me and my pale skin.

"You're adorable Kurt."

Kurt giggled "lil' ole me? I'm okay I guess."

"You're more than okay Kurt; you're great, you're" Blaine frowned "there's no word to describe you. You're Kurt and that's amazing."

The two boys were silent for a moment enjoying their coffee,

"So Blaine" Kurt loved saying his name.

"Hmmm?"

"Is this?"

Blaine looked up at Kurt.

"Is this a date?" Kurt took a huge gulp of coffee.

Blaine tilted his head and looked at the boy in front of him.

"Do you want it to be?"

"Yes" Kurt replied so quietly that Blaine almost missed it.

Blaine smiled "me too. I want this to be the first of many dates."

Kurt smiled widely showing his teeth (a rare thing for him.) "Great. Do you, want to watch a movie? I have a pretty impressive collection."

"Love to."

Blaine stood and followed the gorgeous being into the lounge. "How does The sound of music sound."

"Perfect." Blaine sat down on the sofa. Quickly Kurt slotted the Dvd into the machine and sat on the sofa leaving enough space between the two of them for another person. Blaine carefully placed his cup on the coffee table and slid a little closer to Kurt who smiled and did the same in return.

By the time Maria was singing about having confidence in herself they were sitting side by side with their legs touching. As Maria blew the whistle at Captain Von Trapp Blaine turned to Kurt and grabbed his hand. Kurt gasped and looked down at their intertwined hands.

"It this okay" Blaine whispered to him.

"Mmm, yeah. It's perfect."

Blaine smiled and turned back to the movie. All the way through the movie their hands remained fused together. Kurt could feel his hands getting a little sweaty but he didn't want to let go. He struggled to hide a whimper when Blaine let him go. "Kurt? Where's your bathroom?"

Kurt chuckled as he paused the film. "Sorry I should have shown you before. Down the hall first door on the left."

On Blaine's return we could smell popcorn. "Can't really have a movie without popcorn." Kurt grabbed it out of the microwave and placed it in a bowl. He then grabbed the blanket from the back of the sofa and threw it over his legs as he sat down. Patting the seat next to him he lifted up the blanket for Blaine who happily lid in beside Kurt and intertwined their hands once again.

"I love this movie"

Kurt chuckled "me too. So did my Mum, she named me after Kurt Von Trapp.

"That's so cool, I was named after my Mum's childhood cat."

Kurt failed to hide a giggle.

"I know right. He was her best friend apparently."

"Aww, that's cute and a little weird at the same time."

"Sums me up perfectly I think."

Kurt cocked his eyebrow.

"What? Everyone is a little weird."

"Wait until you meet my best friend Rachel. She's dating my step-brother Finn. Sometimes I think he deserves a medal for putting up with her."

"The things you do for love huh?"

"I wouldn't know."

Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand "really, you've never been in love."

Kurt shook his head "no, I mean I've had crushes before, one very embarrassing one on Finn before he was my step-brother but no, I've never been in love, no one's ever loved me either. Other than my friends and family."

"Well everyone else are idiots, and their loss is my gain." Blaine noticed how wide Kurt's eyes were. "I mean, ah. I don't love you b-because we only just met. I like you and I think… ah crap."

"Blaine, it's fine. Honestly. Please don't be embarrassed. I like you too." Kurt swiped his thumb over Blaine's fingers and turned his attention back to the screen.

"Kurt?"

"Hmm." Kurt was still looking at the television.

"Kurt?" Blaine repeated. This time Kurt looked at him. "Kurt I-I'd really like to kiss you. C-Can I kiss you?"

Kurt nodded slowly. Blaine brought his right hand up to cup Kurt's cheek and leaned in slowly enough to allow Kurt time to change his mind. Their lips touched and the warmth and sent of Kurt engulfed Blaine.

Kurt gasped and pushed himself closer to Blaine and placed his free hand on his shoulder. Their lips danced together and Kurt felt a buzzing feeling shoot through his body. Kurt pouted when he felt Blaine pull away.

"Wow. Blaine you're really good at that."

Blaine chuckled "you too; but practise makes perfect." Blaine smiled as we leaned forward to capture Kurt's lips once again.

Awwwww! I had fun writing this. It's different from everything else that I write. Please let me know what you think. May turn this into a multi-chapter at some stage.
