Hey, Shindi here. So I know it's been a while and I have stories that are unfinished, but I'm reworking all of them (or at least the ones that haven't been adopted) and thought maybe you guys might want at least something while I do it. It's been like, four years, I know, but I've been writing this nearly as long. This has been on my mind a while and I was surprised that no one else had thought of something like this yet… So, I'll be the first Fan-Girl to corrupt this category. Hope you like it.

"I can't believe we're finally here!" Kurt said as he threw his hands up and twirled. The tall countertenor, along with his glee club, had just arrived in New York for Nationals. Kurt smiled as he saw his best friend, Mercedes, slowly coming out of the cab they had shared.

"Neither can I, Boo," She said. Then she turned toward the hotel and continued. "Come on, we have to unpack before we take New York by storm."

Kurt sighed and said, "Fine, but as soon as that's done…" He smiled and continued "We go sight seeing!"

Mercedes rolled her eyes and said, "Of course. Now let's go, before Finn and Rachel stink up our room."

It wasn't long afterward that they were in their room relaxing. The girls were talking along with Kurt and suddenly Mr. Shue came in with a smile.

"Hey guys. I have some great news!" He said. "We have reservations for a great restaurant. It's a great little place that the locals have said is amazing!"

"No offense Mr. Shue, but your idea of amazing is our idea of lame," Mercedes said quietly.

The teacher frowned and said, "Fine, I just thought you would be hungry after eating only airplane food."

Stomachs grumbled at his statement, making Mr. Shue smile. The girls, and Kurt, relented and followed Mr. Shue out to the bus, where they met the guy half of their group. Kurt smiled as he sat down next to Mercedes. They began to chat about how fabulous New York is. The ride was short and they soon arrived at the tiny restaurant.

Their table was by the windows and the doors. It was a pirate themed place with waitresses in skimpy outfits; there were a few guy waiters and they got the only one that didn't have pimples or an excessive amount of buttons on his pirate shirt.

"Hello, my name is Percy and I'm your server for tonight," He said with a lopsided smile, "Can I get you something to drink?"

Kurt looked up into the churning green eyes of the teenager and almost gasped. His midnight black hair was wild and untamable and his clothes fit perfectly yet loosely. The boy was lean and tall, but his confidence and sincerity overwhelmed his appearance. He genuinely looked like he cared, much unlike most waiters or waitresses.

"And you?" The waiter looked his way after writing down everyone else's orders. It took a moment for Kurt to realize that Percy was talking to him.

"What?"

Percy smiled again and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Kurt felt a blush cross his cheeks and answered quietly, "T-tea please."

"Alright," He said and closed his small order booklet, "I'll have that out in just a few moments."

Then he was gone. Kurt sighed and picked up a menu when he heard some giggles to his side. He looked up and saw Tina and Mercedes whispering about the waiter. "Did you see how Kurt stuttered when he asked what drink he wanted? He completely froze up!" Tina giggled.

"Well I don't blame him. That boy i E," Mercedes answered.

"His hair isn't even styled," Kurt interrupted, trying to defend himself.

Smiling Mercedes said, "You didn't seem to mind when you were ogling it. Didn't you want to just comb your fingers through it?"

Kurt stuck his nose in the air. "Of course not! I-"

"Here are your drinks," Percy said coming from behind Kurt. Kurt jumped as the boy's hand set down his tea from over his shoulder. "There's your tea. Sprite, Diet Coke, Root beer…"

"Thanks," Mercedes said, winking at Kurt.

"No problem," The boy said, "Now what would you all like to eat?"

Percy once again retrieved his small booklet and pen with a smile. This time Percy turned toward Kurt first to take his order. This time Kurt was, semi, prepared for Percy's soul eating eyes and was able to give a quick order for his clam chowder.

It wasn't long before Percy disappeared again and the girls swarmed Kurt. Mercedes in particular began to ask, "So, Kurt, what's the verdict?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Kurt said, taking a sip of his tea.

"Oh we saw how you were making goo-goo eyes at our waiter. Don't deny it, boo," Mercedes laughed.

"Whatever," Kurt said as he picked up a bun and tore at it, "It's not like he'd be interested anyway."

"You never know, boo," Mercedes said, "Maybe you'll get lucky."

"I doubt it," Kurt answered as he picked at the veggies in his bowl.

The rest of the dinner Kurt was hushed, quietly glaring at Mercedes. The rest of New Directions was rather lively as they talked and laughed. Kurt watched the waiter as he catered to every whim of his friends and sometimes even spoke with them.

Kurt found out that Percy attended Goode high and lived with his mother and stepfather in the city. Percy had also just recently broken up with his girlfriend, Annabeth. Kurt's silent treatment ended when Percy began to talk with his companions and, by extension, Kurt himself.

"And so then I had to jump out the window because of the fire," Percy said, finishing his story about his first day at his school.

"And they didn't believe that you weren't the one to start the fire?" Finn asked leaning toward the tall waiter that sat on the edge of a table.

Percy smirked and said, "Not at first, but my step-dad put in a few words for me and Rachel also vouched for me. Eventually they had no choice but to let me attend and kick out the cheer leaders."

"That's good," Kurt said, "I'm glad that got worked out."

Percy flashed his smile, almost making Kurt choke on air, and said, "I was too." Percy checked his watch and continued, "Well, I have to be going. My mom will be waiting for me. I can get you another server, though, if you're not done."

"Oh no, that's okay, Percy," Mr. Shue said. "We should be going anyway."

"Alright then; come again soon," Percy said as he hopped off the table and began to walk away. Just as Percy turned away, Mercedes hit Kurt's shoulder. When Kurt turned around she pushed him and mouthed "Go get him."

Biting his lip Kurt turned back toward the way Percy went and ran off. "Hey, Percy, wait!"

Kurt almost ran into the boy as he ran around the corner and into Percy. Percy grabbed Kurt's shoulders to steady him. Smiling Percy asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah," Kurt answered, "I just uh, I wanted to ask you if maybe, maybe you would like to hang out sometime?"

That damned smile made Kurt's heart stutter again as Percy nodded. "Yeah, I'd like that. Here, I'll give you my number."

Percy retrieved his order pad and wrote down a number. He tore the paper from the pad and handed it to Kurt. "Call me and maybe I can show you guys the city."

"O-okay," Kurt answered.

"It was nice to meet you, Kurt," Percy said, then turned and continued out the door.
