Blaine did have to say, he enjoys his company with Kurt. He was not sure if Kurt enjoyed his company or not, but he knew for sure Penny enjoyed his company. When Penny returned from her nanny around 3 that afternoon, according to his pocket watch, Kurt announced that he did not have to work for the rest of the week, so Penny did not have to go to her nanny if she did not want to. Penny eagerly said yes and dragged Blaine back to her room, where she proceeded to dress Blaine up and play house. Blaine was very enthusiastic and overjoyed that he was receiving another chance to play with children.

            Kurt did not seem to mind either, although there was some hesitance during their walk today. Almost like Kurt wanted to say something else about Blaine’s situation, but did not speak of it, perhaps to be polite. Blaine frowned at the idea of Kurt not wanting to say anything, even if he wanted to be polite.

            “Blaine no frowning! Daddy’s aren’t supposed to frown!” Penny said, catching Blaine’s sadness during a tea party with what appeared to be real tea.

            Blaine set his cup down and asked a question that had plagued him for some time, “Penny? Whatever happened to your mother?”

            Penny frowned at this question, “I never really had one. Daddy says my real parents died when I was little. He adopted me a few years ago and I’ve been with him ever since!”

            Blaine was bewildered about this, “So you have never had a mother? Then whatever happened to Mrs. Hummel?”

            Penny went from frowning to laughing, “Oh Blaine! Daddy doesn’t like mommies! Daddy told me that if he were to get married, I’d have another papa!”

            This took Blaine aback. Kurt…Kurt preferred men? “But…but what about the Bible?”

            Penny was still laughing, “Daddy says that love is love, and it shouldn’t matter what old fuddy-duddies say about it!”

            Blaine was taken aback by this new information. In this era, a man can love a man? And he is allowed to tell others about it?

            All of a sudden Penny stopped laughing, but she started growing wide-eyed and started bouncing, “Hey Blaine are you going to be my new papa? You could marry daddy and then become my papa and be a part of this family! Ooooh that would be amazing! Please say you’re going to marry daddy!”

            “Penny, Penny, please calm down!” Blaine tried to say quietly so Kurt could not hear them from the living room.

“If you marry daddy, then you would get to stay forever and ever and play dress up with me everyday! Then I wouldn’t have to ever go back to that place. Oh please oh please oh please?!” Penny was full on jumping on her bed at this, her excitement fueling her energy.

“I understand your excitement about this, but…but from where I come from dad’s and papa’s cannot marry each other.”

Penny stopped bouncing, “They don’t? Why not? Do you love daddy?”

Blaine hesitated at the question. Blaine could not possibly love Kurt after only being introduced a few days ago. There simply is not a way that he could. Then again, he has been dreaming of a figure that is similar to Kurt for quite some time.

            Before Blaine could answer Penny, Kurt came into the room and announced that it was time for Penny’s afternoon nap. Penny groaned at the idea but jumped into her bed and settled in anyways. Kurt tucked in Penny and kissed her on the forehead, “Have a good nap, Penny. Love you.”

            Penny was asleep before Kurt said ‘you’. Blaine bowed out and walked into the living room, deciding that perhaps he should see what type of literature this new century had to offer. After all, it is not everyday a person can experience three centuries of new writings.

            Kurt, however, appeared to have other ideas.

            “I’m sorry that you had to hear about me through Penny.” Kurt says suddenly just as Blaine has found a new novel to read (He wonders what Da Vinci Code could mean).

            “I beg your pardon?” Blaine asks, novel in hand.

            “I mean, Penny telling you about the whole ‘Daddy and Papa’ thing. I didn’t think you’d approve of…well that.” Kurt was starting to blush, and Blaine found it impossibly endearing. “I would understand if you don’t approve…”

            “No, no!” Blaine said, dropping the novel and rushing to Kurt’s side, taking him by the hand, “I would never want you to think that I disapprove of anything you can do. You took me into your home without any question of who I am. For that, I owe you nothing but respect and admiration.”

            Kurt nodded, but he appeared to be distracted by Blaine’s hand in his.  Blaine, noticing that he was holding Kurt’s hand still, did not try to remove it from him. He did take another step towards Kurt, keeping his hand within Kurt’s. He took his other hand and placed it upon Kurt’s face. “Kurt you are one of the kindest individuals I have ever met. I could never wish ill upon you. You love your daughter with all your heart, and I have no reason to despise you.”

            Kurt sighed, pressing his cheek upon Blaine’s hand, “But Blaine, do you really understand what I am?”

            Blaine nodded, “You enjoy men’s company over one of a woman. If it were 1917 my entire family would be appalled. Be that as it may, it is not my era anymore. So why should it matter?”

            Kurt smiled a bit at that, and Blaine felt his heart flutter at the sight of it. Kurt was indeed one of the most beautiful people he has ever had the luck to meet, and Blaine would rather have died during that robbery over never getting this opportunity to interact with Kurt.

            They stayed like this for what seemed to be hours, but it must have only been a few minutes. They stared into each other’s eyes, and Blaine would not wish to be anywhere else at this moment. There was a beep coming from the couch, and Kurt jumped out of Blaine’s hands at the sound.

            “Sorry, that’s my phone.” Kurt ran to the couch and picked up what appeared to be a black box.

            Blaine was astounded. “What IS this contraption?”

            Kurt laughed a little bit, the tension that seemed to be there before gone completely, “Oh this? I keep forgetting that you have no idea what technology is.” Kurt turned to Blaine and then said, “We must educate you on the ways of the future.” Kurt smiled at Blaine.

            Blaine decided upon that moment that he was going to spend the rest of his time in this era making Kurt smile like this at every possible moment. Blaine also realized at this instant that he was in serious trouble of falling for one Kurt Hummel. He also realized that he did not care.

            “-and this is a laptop. This brand of laptop is called a Dell. There are different kinds of laptops; this one is labeled as a PC. Don’t let anyone tell you that PC’s or Mac’s are better. They are the same. And this is-“

            “DADDY WHEN’S DINNER?”

            Penny’s shout brought Blaine and Kurt out of learning mode, which was fine by Blaine, he had not heard a single word Kurt had said about anything he had been showing Blaine. He was content over watching Kurt move around the living room, grabbing objects for Blaine to look at and admire. Blaine could not get over Kurt’s beauty, and he did not think he ever wanted to.

            Kurt, although oblivious to Blaine’s admiration, was startled by Penny’s shout and almost dropped his…did he call it Dell? “I don’t know Penny,” Kurt said, “I was thinking we order pizza-“

            Penny ran into the room and hugged Kurt tight around his neck, “YAY!” She shouted again, and started to skip back to her room.

            “Penny I expect you to be in that bathtub in ten minutes!” Kurt said back, with a playful tone in his voice.

            Blaine stared quizzically at Kurt, “I beg your pardon, but order pizza? How does one order pizza? Do you have a chef at your disposal?”

            Kurt chuckled, “No, Blaine, we call a place in New York, and they bring us pizza to our apartment.”

            Blaine nodded at this. Any story Kurt told made sense at this point.

            While Kurt ordered this pizza, Blaine wandered to the shelf he had acquired in the linen closet next to Kurt’s bedroom, caressing the bowties and suspenders Kurt had purchased for him. It was awfully nice of Kurt to purchase new clothing for Blaine to wear over his suit that he was supposed to be married in.

            Ha! To think Blaine was supposed to be married to the dullest girl in New England by now! Instead, he is with the most interesting man in New England, playing with his charming young daughter, and learning about his new time period.

            Blaine had to wonder, though, why he was here in 2017 and not in 1917. It did not make sense at all. Why is it that he is allowed to spend his time with some of the loveliest people he has ever met?

            The doorbell rings, and Blaine jumps out of his line of thinking. It does not help to reflect on things he cannot change; rather, it is best to look towards what can be done.

            Kurt opens the door, holding what appears to be modern money to purchase the pizza, and is tackled to the ground by a woman with brown hair and a gigantic smile.

            “Surprise Kurt!” This woman said, out of breath and still beaming, “Finn and I decided to visit. He’s looking for a parking spot.”

            Kurt sighed, “Still with Finn?”

            She huffed, “He did apologize.”

            “After backing into your father…”

            She turned and saw Blaine standing by the kitchen, and she cocked her head to the side. “Kurt, who is this lovely gentleman?”

            Kurt brushed it off, “Oh this is Blaine. He’s…a neighbor of mine. He’s become friends with Penny and she insisted on Blaine having dinner. Blaine, this is Rachel.”

            Rachel waltzed over to Blaine and stuck her hand out. Blaine, playing into his teachings, took her hand and placed a kiss upon it.

            When Blaine looked up from this, he could not tell who was redder: Kurt or Rachel.

He smiled at Rachel, “Good evening, Miss…”

            “Berry!” Rachel beamed back, “Rachel Berry. It should’ve been Rachel Hudson by now, but Finn…”

            “What about me?” A man’s voice came from the doorway, and Blaine looked at him. He appeared to be very tall, at least from Blaine’s point of view, and he had a dopey grin resting on his face. He looked pleased about life, and he was just leaning on the doorway looking in.

            Rachel turned and smiled at Finn, “Just about how I am the luckiest woman here!”

            Finn’s eyebrows furrowed, “But you’re the only woman here.”

            Rachel huffed at this, but was unable to comment back because a loud voice echoed into the living room. “AUNT RACHEL! UNCLE FINN!”

            Penny ran into the room, her previous ensemble of a tutu and leotard replaced with a fluffy white robe, jumped into Finn’s arms, and Finn laughed and swung her around the room.

            “I’ve missed you guys so much!” Penny says after being set down, “Why haven’t you visited us?”

            Rachel walked over to Penny and placed a kiss on her head, “Well, I’ve had a Broadway show to do, and Finn is still finding his footing in his career. We’ve been busy.”

            A quick look to Kurt appeared to show a hidden story, but Blaine could not tell from where he was standing.

            “Have you guys met Blaine?” Penny said enthusiastically, grabbing Rachel’s hand and dragging her back to Blaine, “I found him in the park. Him and Daddy are going to get married someday!”

            Rachel whipped her head up at Blaine, who turned a crimson color, “I, uh, was not really intending to marry anyone at this point, uh…”

            Kurt jumped in, “Don’t listen to her, she just thinks that because I’m nice to him that means we’re destined to be together.”

            Penny turned to her daddy confused, “But daddy, why were you whispering his name last night when I came in after my nightma-“

            Rachel slapped her hand on Penny’s mouth and looked at Kurt, “Honey, what’s this about ordering pizza? Did you happen to order Vegan?”
