Rating: R for language and sex
Pairings: Kurt/Blaine with mentions of Kurt/OC and Blaine/OC
Spoilers: Half of this was written before the finale, the other half after. So just up to the finale, really.
Summary: A fill for this prompt: "Kurt and Blaine don't last much beyond high school. They picked universities at opposite ends of the country, and they just started to grow apart. The break up is mutual and amicable, and they stay in touch but ultimately leave each others lives.
Years later, Kurt is living and working in New York, and he's been miserably single for months. He meets this girl at a coffee shop and they start talking. He tells her he's gay, and she responds with the classic 'Oh my god, no way! I have a friend who's gay, you should totally go out on a date!, and it's a testament to Kurt's loneliness that he actually agrees to it. The girl tells him that her friend is from Ohio too, and that he's a lawyer, but his true passion is in music, and he plays in bars and coffee shops for fun.
Kurt turns up at the restaurant optimistic, and he can safely say that Blaine Anderson is one of the last people he expected to see waiting for him."

( Blaine finally looked up, staring at him with what appeared to be tears in his eyes. Kurt's heart thundered in his chest. "When Naomi gave me your coffee order and said you were from Ohio, I thought maybe…I knew you lived in the city, I just…" His hand slapped over his mouth and he stared at Kurt. Just stared. )
