“Hey,” Blaine said one morning in May, pouring Kurt a cup of coffee. “Good morning.”

“I could get very used to this,” Kurt smiled. “Having you around.”

“Same here,” Blaine responded, as Jayden walked out of his bedroom. “Hey JD.”

“Oh god,” Kurt groaned. “Not you too.”

“What?” Blaine asked.

“Everyone calls him JD,” Kurt laughed. “Except for me.”

“You can call me JD too daddy.” Jayden said, hugging Kurt.

“I know sweetie,” Kurt lifted the boy onto the seat next to him. “I just like Jayden though.”

“I like them both.” Jayden commented.

“Anyway,” Blaine sat down. “It’s someone’s 21st birthday soon.”

“Who’s birthday?” Jayden asked.

“Mine,” Kurt commented. “But I just want a small lunch with you two, Finn, Rachel, any other of the new directions who can come and my parents.”

“This is a big birthday Kurt,” Blaine commented. “You can do something special if you want.”

“I’ve sworn off alcohol anyway,” Kurt commented. “I’d prefer the small lunch with people I love.”

“What?” Blaine asked, as Kurt suddenly regretted his word choice. Though, it had been six months since they started dating. “You love me?”

“Is that okay?” Kurt asked, focussing on his breakfast.

“It’s fine with me,” Blaine smiled, as Kurt sighed before looking up at Blaine. “But probably because I love you too. And I’ll organise a lunch, okay.”

“I can organise it.” Kurt raised an eyebrow.

“I want to do it.” Blaine answered.

Kurt’s birthday had managed to fall on a Wednesday, so Blaine had organised for everyone to come on the weekend, for a surprise party. On his actual birthday, it was just a breakfast with Blaine and Jayden.

“Daddy,” Jayden asked, after eyeing off the playground. “Can I go to the playground?”

“Sure.” Kurt commented, as they moved into the play area.

Kurt and Blaine noticed Jayden playing with a young boy around his age. Kurt was smiling, thinking maybe this would be his first friend.

“Is he your brother?” A woman in her thirties was pointing out the dark blonde haired boy to Kurt.

“No,” Kurt commented. “He’s my son, Jayden.”

“I’m the other boy’s mother,” She smiled. “Grace. And his name is Ben.”

“Kurt.” He shook her hand.

“Maybe we organise for Ben to have a play date with Jayden? She asked.

“That would be great,” Kurt answered. “This is my boyfriend Blaine, by the way.”

“Boyfriend?” She looked at Kurt awkwardly. “We might have to rethink the play date.”

Kurt took one look at Blaine who was ready to argue in the middle of a play area. The woman could tell that this would not end well, and became awkward.

“Ben,” The woman called as the brunette looked up at her. “We have to go now.”

 Kurt, Blaine and Jayden left soon after and the whole ride home, no one said anything. Kurt left Jayden with Louise, and dropped Blaine off at his apartment.

“I think I might spend tonight with Jayden.” Kurt commented.

“Okay,” Blaine answered. “So dinner is cancelled?”

“Yes.” Kurt answered as Blaine shut the door, and Kurt felt tears in his eyes. He had organised a lunch with Rachel that day, and spent the first fifteen minutes silently eating.

“Kurt,” Rachel looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“We had an incident this morning,” Kurt began. “Well, not so much an incident, as a woman taking her son away from Jayden because I am gay.”

“Oh,” Rachel paused. “My dad’s said that happened to them as well when I was little.”

“How did you deal with it?” Kurt asked.

“I don’t know,” Rachel answered. “I don’t really remember much from before I was like six. But, I do remember my tenth birthday when my best friend wasn’t allowed to come, or talk to me again.”

“That must have hurt you.” Kurt looked at her.

“It did,” Rachel responded. “But I got new friends, like you and Tina and Artie and whoever else. I care more about my dad’s then my friends from when I was ten. How’s Blaine?”

“I don’t know,” Kurt answered. “I was kind of sour after the whole thing.”

“Kurt,” Rachel warned. “Don’t screw this up. Blaine probably feels as guilty as you do.”

That night, Rachel minded Jayden and Kurt knocked on the door of Blaine’s NYU dorm.

“Kurt,” Blaine commented. “I thought you were spending tonight with Jayden?”

“Rachel has him,” Kurt smiled. “Tonight is ours. I want to celebrate my 21st with my boyfriend.”

“I got you a present,” Blaine commented, as Kurt’s eyes widened, opening the gift. “I know it isn’t too extravagant because I work at an ice cream shop and-”

“Blaine,” Kurt hushed him, revealing a ring. “Is this what a think it is?”

“It’s a promise ring,” Blaine began. “I know it’s stupid, but I am promising to always stick by you and Jayden, no matter what and to defend you and love you and make you feel as happy as you make me.”

“No,” Kurt kissed him. “It’s great. I love it.”

“So,” Blaine pulled out of the kiss. “What did you have planned for us?”

“Well,” Kurt began. “Is there anyone here tonight?”

“Nope,” Blaine smiled. “They’ve all gone out. Wait – is this what I think it is?”

“It depends what you think it is.” Kurt said flirtatiously.

That Saturday Kurt had spent the afternoon at the park with Jayden and his parents. When they got back to the apartment, he opened the door to every one of his friends. Blaine had decorated the place, and Kurt couldn’t help but laugh.

“Happy Birthday!” Everyone exclaimed.

“You,” Kurt looked at Blaine. “I knew something was up.”

“I wanted you to have the special 21st that you deserve.” Blaine commented as everyone awed.

It turned out to be a great night. Simple, and around his friends and family. Kurt couldn’t have asked for a better birthday party.
