adam & kurt.

          _{A faint blush rapidly spread across the porcelain skinned male’s cheeks upon being on the receiving end of the stranger’s compliments, a distinct mixture of blue and green hues quick to gaze down at the animal displayed on his particularly bold choice of fashion. Not often did a stranger randomly point out the state of his perfectly styled appearance unsolicited. Granted, the way he usually dressed ( and had done every waking moment of his life ) typically stemmed from mostly a matter of self expression. Vintage finds combined with some of the latest designers, a perk he had earned from his internship at Vogue as he was often rewarded with an early inside draft of the esteemed fashion magazine — the sentiment of being under the man’s now scrutinous gaze somewhat unnerving.}  

          _{❛ It’s Burberry Prorsum, ❜  he breathed, his bright gaze still hopelessly scanning over their surroundings before a pair of deep blue eyes quickly managed to draw him back in —- the other male’s stares positively quizzitive under the dim lights of the small cafe.  ❛ I guess it is pretty crowded. ❜  Judging by the significant lack in Blaine and particularly long line of customers growing increasingly larger by the counter, it probably seemed selfish to just be hogging the entire table. Introductions, though admirable, fallen shortlived as the human’s attention diverted in an instant.} 

          _{❛ —BLAINE! ❜}  

_{His cordial smiles grew remarkably fonder as his friend ( though, in any case, fashionably late ) finally made an appearance. Eyes once lost, now filled with intrigue, deeply engrossed and invested as the scene had rapidly changed its course and unfolded.  ❛ We actually only just started talking— ❜}

          _{❛ I’m Kurt— Kurt Hummel. What are the odds. ❜}

          it took everything in adam not to let the pleasant and polite expression fall into one of irritation. he’d felt blaine’s presence before he heard him, that was something he couldn’t mistake. despite looking like all of his attention was fixed on kurt, he was constantly scanning the area around them. blaine finding him there was his plan, but not so soon. not enough to drag kurt’s attention from him. ❝ it’s lovely to see you again, blaine. it’s been quite some time, hasn’t it? ❞ adam replied, although his smile was more than a little forced while his voice remained pleasant. his attention returned to kurt, tilting his head slightly. ❝ i was quite lucky enough to meet blaine’s acquaintance when i first came to the city from england. quite the serendipitous meeting. ❞ despite the length of time between him landing in the states and now, adam still had fond memories of discovering blaine. blaine had been his first real game; befriending him, charming him and ultimately protecting him. even if it hadn’t gone entirely to plan.

          ❝ almost like we’re just following each other. ❞ the joke was met with genuine amusement on his face, although his eyes returned back to blaine’s features with a slightly extended sense of humour. as far as they’d gotten from each other, it was inevitable that they would find one another again. eternity didn’t go by without at least some of it spent in each other’s company. and considering he had put a lot into ensuring blaine’s survival, he wanted to make sure blaine wasn’t being reckless. especially acting like a human and befriending a decent meal. ❝ how did you both meet? another new york coincidence? ❞

”Kurt!  It’s great to see you.  Sorry I kept you waiting.  The subway was packed.”  Or so he says but it was believable and far better than the real reason why.   Feeding before meeting Kurt was a necessity.  One Blaine hated indulging in to the point he did each time he saw Kurt but it kept Kurt safe and him sated and warm and that’s what mattered..

Lovely to see him?  Somehow, Blaine doubted that was the truth.  Obviously, Adam was up to something.  His lack of reaching out to Blaine whatsoever combined with making sure he’d be here on the evening when Kurt and he planned to meet up?  Blaine made a mental note that his senses must be slipping.  Believing this was all one just coincidence was naive beyond the meaning of the word.  And Blaine liked to think of himself as not so naive anymore.  Not how he was when he put faith and trust in the man he smiled at now.  Man.  Ha!  Well.  As far as Kurt knew, that’s what they both were.  So, why not go with it and remain convincing. Adam better not screw this up.  “Mm. Yes, I did.  I had the pleasure of being Adam’s tour guide until he got settled in.  How’ve you been?  Other than following me around, like you said.”  He grinned jokingly enough, a friendly banter between two people who knew one another and were catching up.

“We met after Kurt came into a place where I was playing.  He was with a few friends and they were still there when I was finished.  I couldn’t let the night go by without saying hello and the rest is history.”  The where was left out but the means was true.  Looking over at Kurt, the vampire smiled–brows lifted an inviting Kurt to add more to the conversation if he wanted.
