Kurt was enjoying his work. His boss had promoted him to an assistant designer and he was currently helping her choose the fall fashion catalogue. It was an unusually warm September day when Kurt took two year old Jayden out for ice cream with Finn and Rachel. Finn was pushing the pram with Jayden, talking about their favourite ice cream flavours and Kurt and Rachel were walking slowly behind.

“How’s work?” Rachel asked.

“Good,” Kurt smiled. “I much prefer what I am doing now than all that personal assistant stuff.”

“How’s the whole guy thing going?” Rachel asked.

“I’m not really focusing on that right now,” Kurt said quietly. “For me, Jayden and fashion is more than enough.”

“Kurt,” Rachel’s eyes widened. “You have been with one person your entire life, and you knocked her up. You’re my best friend and you deserve someone.”

“Daddy,” Jayden said excitedly. “I want chocolate Ice cream!”

“Of course you do.” Kurt laughed as Jayden dragged him into the store and to the cash register, in the line.

Finn had told Kurt his order and when they ordered, Kurt wasn’t even looking at the sales assistant. Kurt passed Jayden the chocolate ice cream and the two year old dropped it as he was about to run to where Finn was sitting.

“I dropped it.” Jayden said sadly, looking at the chocolate ice cream on the floor.

“Don’t worry about it buddy,” The voice came from almost nowhere. “I’ll fix you a new one.”

“You say thank you to,” Kurt said looking up and caught the boys name tag before his face. “Say thank you Nick.”

“Thank you Nick.” Jayden smiled as he walked off careful not to drop it.

“It’s Blaine actually.” Blaine said as their eyes met. Kurt looked into his hazel brown eyes and suddenly felt butterflies in his stomach – something he had never felt before. They were both silent and didn’t say anything.

“Um,” Blaine broke the silence. “That comes to 7 dollars 30.”

“Your name tag says Nick on it?” Kurt asked.

“He’s Nick, I’m Blaine,” Blaine smiled, pointing out the guy next to him. “We decided to swap name tags for the day.”

“Oh,” Kurt pulled out his wallet. “That was 7 dollars 30?”

“Yeah,” Blaine smiled. “You have a cute brother.”

“He’s my son actually,” Kurt commented. “But thank you.”

“Oh, so your straight?” Blaine asked.

“No,” Kurt commented. “I had a drunk night with a girl. I’m actually gay.”

“Me too,” Blaine answered. “I never caught your name.”

“Kurt.” The taller boy said handing him the money.

Kurt walked to the table and handed Finn his ice cream. Jayden was engrossed in his ice cream and Kurt just sat quietly.

“Who is that cute guy staring at you?” Rachel asked.

“I don’t know him,” Kurt tried to shake it off. “I don’t even know if he’s interested.”

“He had been staring at you for five minutes now,” Rachel commented. “I think he likes you.”

“He does not,” Kurt commented. “He asked me if I was gay and if Jayden was my brother.”

“He likes you.” Rachel repeated.

Kurt had cleaned the two year old off and was strapping him back in the stroller when Blaine came up to him.

“Excuse me,” He said as Kurt turned around, handing Kurt a piece of paper. “You forgot something.”

Kurt left the ice cream shop and opened it to see Blaine’s number on a napkin along with Call me if you’re interested for dinner with a nice guy.

“Oh my god,” Rachel’s eyes widened, snatching the paper and calling the number. “Hello Blaine, Kurt is very interested in dinner and will meet you at 7pm outside the ice cream shop.”

“Rachel Barbra Berry!” Kurt exclaimed. “What the hell!”

“I got you a date for tonight with a very handsome gentleman,” She commented. “The least I deserve is thank you.”

“I have a son Rachel,” Kurt hissed. “I can’t just go on a date!”

“Jayden,” Rachel crouched down to the stroller. “You want to spend tonight with me and Uncle Finn while your daddy meets a friend for dinner?”

“Okay.” Jayden nodded as Rachel mouthed out Your Welcome to Kurt.

That night, Rachel came over early to help a nervous Kurt prepare for his date. He had never been on one before, and his nerves were getting the better of him.

“You look great,” Rachel huffed after he tried on three different outfits. “Stop stressing.”

“This is your fault.” Kurt snapped.

Two outfits later, Kurt was satisfied and soon left to meet Blaine outside the coffee shop. He recognised the shorter man and couldn’t help but notice his bow tie.

“You look great,” Blaine smiled. “Is the bow tie too much on me?”

“No,” Kurt smiled. “It looks great.”

They walked in the warm evening to the restaurant that Blaine had booked. They were shown to the table and sat down quietly.

“So,” Kurt cleared his throat. “Where are you from?”

“Ohio,” Blaine answered. “I hated it there, though. I was pretty sure I was the only out and proud kid in the state.”

“Well, you weren’t,” Kurt laughed. “I’m from Ohio too. Lima.”

“Westerville,” Blaine answered. “I was at Dalton Academy.”

“A prep school boy,” Kurt commented. “I was at McKinley. I think we versed your school at Regionals.”

They spent most of dinner talking about high school, and all the bullying that they had to face. Kurt didn’t want to admit it yet, but he was starting to really like Blaine.

“I had a good night,” Blaine said outside Kurt’s apartment block. “We should do this again soon.”

“Blaine,” Kurt stopped him. “If I may ask, why do you want to date a guy with a child? Your 20 years old, you don’t need baggage.”

“No one is perfect Kurt,” Blaine smiled. “I have my stuff, everyone does. I had fun tonight, the most fun I’ve had in a while and I would like get to know you better. So, if you want, we can see each other again.”

All of a sudden, Kurt felt an urge to kiss Blaine and went on his gut instinct. Both the boys sunk into the kiss and when they released Kurt was breathless.

“I would love to see you again.” Kurt said short of breath. 

They kissed again before Kurt realised the time and ran up to his apartment. Rachel and Finn had dozed off on the couch and Kurt just pinched himself to make sure the night was real.
