After Kurt had showered he picked out his nicest clothes, yet suitable for a day in the park. He picked a pair of older dark blue jeans and his favorite button up shirt. When he got downstairs Elizabeth already started getting the ingredients ready for the cookies.
Kurt grabbed his stepping stool and stood next to his mother. "Well don't you look handsome!" She smiled at her son. "Thanks mommy, I want today to be really special with Blaine and Rachel. It's going to be the best day ever!" Kurt was giddy with excitement. "Come on Kurt. Let's get baking so we don't keep the Anderberry's waiting." "Alright mom. Hand me my spoon." This was Kurt's serious time. His mother knew cooking was important to him and he always liked to begin baking with his one of his favorite Disney songs. With Kurt's spoon flick she hit the switch and 'I'll Make A Man Out Of You' came on.
"LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS" Kurt sang in a serious voice. "To defeat the huns" Elizabeth joined in. They continued to make batter in harmony until it was time to put the cookies on the sheet. Which of course, required pure silence for both to concentrate on the perfect amount of batter.
Elizabeth and Kurt spent their waiting minutes to pack everything and call the AnderBerry's to make sure the knew where they were going. At the beep of the oven the cookies were packed and Kurt and Elizabeth were in the car leaving Burt a note for after work.
They arrived at the park at about noon and found the perfect spot to have a picnic. Right in the middle of the swings and slide. Blaine had picked the spot because it seemed the "the most fun". The parents set everything up and told the kids they had to be back as soon as they called for lunch so they could eat.
Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and ran over to the swings while Rachel decided to sing to the birds down by the river.
"This is really nice" Blaine looked sincerely at Kurt and smiled. "Yeah this is a lot of fun, I'm glad you guys could come" Kurt couldn't look at Blaine. At least when he looked that pretty in his bow tie and jeans. Kurt was starting to turn red. "Kurt are you okay? I think you're getting sun burned already!" Blaine chuckled at his assumption because Kurt was really pale for a young boy. "N-no I'm fine, just a little warm. Let's swing to cool off!" Kurt grabbed the first swing he could and started swinging as hard as he could. Blaine sat next to him and joined him. After Kurt felt his face cool down he stopped swinging and just watch Blaine laugh to himself and watch how high he could get. "Hey, why'd you stop swinging?" Blaine looked confused. "My legs started hurting I don't want to be sore later" Kurt was lying be he didn't care. "Do you want to go lay under that tree over there?" Kurt suggested to Blaine. "Sure it looks nice and cool there!". Blaine again grabbed Kurt's hand and walked to the tree. They both sat down wordless. Rachel was singing in the background, it was odd but soothing.
"Blaine?" Kurt was beginning to blush again.
"Yea Kurtie?"
"Ca-Can we cuddle?" Kurt was extremely nervous to ask Blaine and Kurt Wasn't sure why.
"Of course we can! C'mere Kurt! I love cuddles!" Kurt began to relax and eased his way into Blaine's arms.
"How's that?" Blaine asked with a huge smile.
"It's perfect."
They stayed silent for a few minutes. Blaine was sure Kurt had fallen asleep, but when he looked down Kurt was looking right up at him. Blaine smiled and put his head on Kurt's shoulder. Blaine took in the smell of Kurt and nuzzled into his neck a little more. They stayed silent until Blaine spoke up "Kurt, you're my best friend. I never want to lose you, I'm glad I met you." He pulled Kurt closer. "I feel the same way Blaine. I'm glad I finally have friends to play with. You and Rachel and the best." They smiled at each other and laying there until they herd Leroy call for lunch. "I don't wanna get up!" Blaine whined. "Me either." "We'll come back and cuddle after lunch okay Kurt?" "sounds good, let's go before we get in trouble!" Blaine took Kurt's hand and they ran to the blanket that was laid out for them.
"Hey boys, how did you spend your time?" Mrs Hummel asked. "We went on the swings then cuddled under the tree. It was a lot of fun!" Blaine was more than enthused to tell everyone how they spent their day. Kurt just stood there blushing, hands still intertwined with Blaine's. "Alright let's eat before everything gets too cold" Mr and Mr Anderberry stated.
All three kids ate as fast as they could. When Kurt stood up to clean off his pants he asked Rachel to come with him to the river for a few minutes. Leaving Blaine with the parents. Rachel and Kurt went off to talk and promised they'd be back as soon as possible.
"Kurt why are we going to the river? Why did we leave Blaine? That's not very nice of you Kurt." Rachel stopped talking when she saw the concern on Kurt's face. "Kurt what's wrong? Why do you look sick?" Rachel began to get worried when Kurt spoke up. "I-I-I think I have a crush on Blaine. Rachel. I don't know what to do. He's a boy. What if he doesn't like me back. Oh no Rachel. Don't give me that look, I'm scared. Rachel!" Rachel just starred at him. "Kurt, I think Blaine has a crush on you too. But I'm not sure. And it's not weird Kurt. I have 2 dads don't forget. It's not weird at all. Some people like princesses and others like princes. It's not a big deal." Kurt let out a sigh of relief. He knew as soon has he went home he had to talk to him mom. But for now he was going to enjoy the rest of the day. He and Rachel walked back to the blanket in time to back up. "Kurt there you are! I missed you" Blaine hugged him and Rachel gave Kurt a sly smile. "I only went to the river, Blaine. Next time you can come." Kurt assured Blaine. "Next time" Blaine thought as they packed up. "I wonder what happens at the river" Blaine thought to himself.
Before anyone knew it they were saying goodbyes and getting in their cars to go home after a long day. Everyone hugged and rode home as the sky began to get dimmer. As soon as he got home he hugged Burt and Elizabeth and went upstairs to begin to plan for the next time he saw the Anderberry's.
