Kurt had never been the biggest fan of Los Angeles. It was warm all the time, and he wasn’t a beach fan. He and Blaine had discussed moving there years ago, but Jayden was in school and Kurt didn’t really want him transferring. This trip wasn’t much different. It was warm, stuffy, Kurt was constantly stressing about sunscreen and they had two six year olds to watch. The first night there, they were all settling in and adjusting to the three hour time difference. The next day, Kurt had to go to a wedding dress fitting with Mercedes and Rachel, who had arrived that morning with Finn and their kids. Blaine had taken Jayden, Elliot, Addison, Finn (who had surprisingly never really seen LA besides one awards show, and they were on a plane again the next morning. Rachel mainly went to LA by herself because someone had to stay back with the kids), Fanny and Chris sight-seeing.
“Blaine really likes it here, doesn’t he?” Rachel asked, while Mercedes was trying on her dress.
“He does,” Kurt answered. “But he also loves New York.”
“I am not a huge fan of LA,” Rachel responded. “I try and go as close to broad way as I possibly can. And I don’t like driving.”
“I love New York too,” Kurt answered. “It is way too warm here.”
Kurt and Rachel’s eyes suddenly directed to Mercedes in her wedding dress.
“You look beautiful!” Rachel exclaimed.
“Thank you,” Mercedes answered. “And you Kurt?”
“Amazing,” Kurt responded. “Sam is not going to be able to take his eyes off you. I knew I brought the right dress with me.”
“Thank you for the hook up again,” Mercedes answered. “I have been searching for months and-”
“It is not problem,” Kurt stopped her mid-sentence. “Anything for my best friend.”
Kurt spent the afternoon with Rachel and Mercedes and met Blaine and the kids back at the apartment. The next morning, was a rush. Kurt had to calm down Elliot and Addison and tell them that they had to be holding an adults hand the entire time (whether that is him, Blaine, Rachel or Finn). They spent the entire day there, and did as much walking; going on rides, and seeing castles and princesses as they possibly could in a day. They did so much walking, that the twins pretty much fell asleep the second their heads hit the pillow.
For the next couple of days, Blaine did mainly touristy things with the kids while Kurt was helping Mercedes put together the final touches of her wedding. They hadn’t spent this much time together since high school, and Kurt was actually enjoying it. Mercedes wedding was on a Sunday, and they were flying home the next day, so their tour of UCLA could be on the Friday.
“Wow,” Jayden commented as Blaine pulled up in front of the school. He had come with Kurt, and Finn had taken the twins. “This place looks amazing.”
“It looks like most of the colleges in New York.” Kurt said quietly.
That was what Kurt was like most of the tour. Making comments about the school, saying that the ones back home were just as good. After the tour finished, Jayden asked if he could speak to Kurt alone – almost in the way a teacher would.
“Are you okay dad?” Jayden asked as they took a seat.
“I’m fine,” Kurt commented. “Are you sure you want to come here?”
“I don’t know,” Jayden responded. “But I don’t want to rule it out completely because my dad doesn’t want me on the other side of the country.”
“What?” Kurt looked at him. “Where did you get that from?”
“I’ve lived with you for almost 17 years,” Jayden laughed. “I know how you work dad.”
“It’s not that I don’t want you to come here,” Kurt smiled. “If this is what will make you happy, then I will learn to cope with it. It’s that I am going to miss you, a lot.”
“I’ll miss you too,” Jayden answered. “And Blaine, Elliot and Addison.”
Jayden hugged his father before they went back to the car. Mercedes wedding was as Kurt expected – beautiful. Everyone in the audience cheered as the couple, who had been dating for 18 years finally became husband and wife.
