The next few weeks, they spend most of their time together looking through houses close to the house of Kurt's parents.
It wasn't like Kurt's parents lived far from the zoo but it was definitely a challenge to find a house close to them they both liked and was up for sale.
It was during their 5th week of looking for a house that they came across the perfect house.
It was a Friday, a rare free day for both Kurt and Blaine. They had spent most of the afternoon at the Hummel's house, spending family time.
Ever since Blaine had been introduced, he had been welcomed with open arms.
And Blaine had to admit that he liked those moments were they would all sit together and talk and be like a real family. It made him incredibly happy.
It was only when Kurt had made a suggestion about going with a walk, that they had left the coziness of the home behind.
Kurt had put on his long coat and wrapped a scarf around his neck. Blaine had put on his jacket and taken Kurt's hand in his.
Slowly, they started strolling around the streets around the Hummel's house. Their hands were clasped together tightly in between them.
It was when Kurt stopped brutally that Blaine turned around. Kurt was watching curiously towards the left.
Blaine slowly started following his point of view as he watched the white painted house in front of him.
It was a nice big house with a neat front yard. The walls were painted white and to the wall was a board attached with in huge letters spelled out: for sale.
Blaine turned around to Kurt with a soft smile on his face, “you want to take a look at it?”
Kurt bit his lip a bit, looking hesitant but just like his daughter, he couldn't hide the twinkle in his eyes, “I don't know. I mean it's the perfect size, right?”
Blaine shook his head while he chuckled softly, “you are just like your daughter, trying to play it coy but knowing deep down what you really want.”
Blaine took out his phone and started dialing the number on the for sale board before Kurt could protest.
He waited patiently until the voice of a woman sounded on the other side, “Hello, Katrine Jacobs speaking, how may I help you?”
“Hello, you are speaking with Blaine Anderson. I'm standing in front of the house in the paradise street that's for sale. Would we be able to make an appointment to take a look at it?”
The woman chuckled on the other side, “that would definitely be possible. How about now? Another client didn't turn up so I have a bit of time?”
“That would be perfectly fine. We'll be waiting in front of the house,” Blaine said with a grin.
The woman said goodbye before the other end went death.
Blaine pocketed his phone and turned towards Kurt, wrapping his arms around his waist, “guess we'll be seeing the house in a minute.”
Kurt leaned forward and pressed a kiss against his lips, “let's hope the inside looks as promising as the outside.”
They didn't have to wait too long. It took miss Katrine only 10 minutes to get there.
Katrine stepped out of her red cabriolet that she had parked in front of the house. She was a tall woman with black thick hair and a pair of glasses on her nose. Her hair was wrapped in a messy bun.
The woman walked towards them on her high black heals and stretched out her hand, “Katrine, nice to meet you. I'm guessing you are the one who has called for the house,” she said as she walked towards Blaine.
Blaine nodded his head and shook her head, “that would be me. And this is my partner, Kurt Hummel.”
The woman didn't even flinch as she stretched her hand towards Kurt's and shook it politely.
“So how about we take a look at this house,” she said as she walked up the stairs of the house towards the front door.
She switched on the lights as she stepped into the house and held the door open for them to follow.
Blaine and Kurt stepped through the door, never letting go of each other's hands as they looked around the welcome hall.
The walls were painted white, which Blaine was sure that irritated Kurt to no end. They would definitely be painting at least in this house.
Other than that, the floor was in hard wood in a nice dark brown color. It gave some warmth to the room.
It wasn't the biggest room but big enough for a small closet to put jackets and shoes in and for a bit of personality.
Blaine turned towards Kurt who was looking around the room with a very intense look. Blaine knew he was trying to memorize it all and see the smallest cracks in the room.
Katrine smiled towards them and moved her arms in gestures, “this is the welcoming hall. Like you see it is a nice size but not that big. It's just big enough for all the necessities. The floor is in a hard wood and is easy to take care off. It was actually one of the renovations the last owner did so it's fairly new.”
Blaine nodded and he watched Kurt do the same. Katrine seemed pleased and opened the door to her left. “This is the living room.”
Blaine and Kurt followed behind her and looked around the big space. This room was definitely just like they had wanted. It was a huge space with just like the welcome hall white walls. On each side of the room in the length were windows. The smaller window in the front made them look over the street. The big windows in the bag made them look over the spacious garden. The room owned a small but cozy fireplace, which Blaine knew Kurt would love to death.
“Like you can see it's a wide and spacious place. There is a lot of natural light that will be coming most from the windows at the back which will also provide you a good look over the garden. The house is isolated by the last owner so the big windows won't be a problem in the winter months. The last owner also installed a fire place which will also provide warmth in the winter.”
Blaine nodded his head as he watched Kurt look around the room and tap on the walls.
“So why did the last owner leave if he just renovated most of the house, if you don't mind me asking,” Blaine asked politely as he walked towards the big windows and looked over the garden.
Katrine smiled towards him, “I don't mind at all. The last owner got offered a job in another city. It was a too good chance to live up to.”
Blaine nodded his head and took a look to his left, where he saw the kitchen.
Katrine pointed towards it, “like you can see, it's one big room. The kitchen and the living used to be two separate rooms but it was renovated as one entirely. The kitchen was installed a few years ago and has all the necessities like a dish washer, fridge, a microwave, an oven and so on.”
Kurt peaked around the corner and smiled widely at it. Just like the living room, the windows moved on in the kitchen. It really felt like one entirely all though the kitchen was slightly around the corner.
The kitchen was neat and in warm brown colors. Even though it was a more countrified style, it still felt modern and Blaine could already imagine him and Kurt cooking their during the evenings.
The kitchen also held a kitchen island which was definitely a plus.
Katrine waited until they have seemed it all before she opened the sliding door and leaded them outside.
“This is the garden. The garden is quite large for this area and is perfect for many things. I don't know if you guys have kids but this would be perfect for children to run around,” Katrine said. There is a small summerhouse in the back where you can hang out or you can turn it into a play room for your children.”
Kurt looked around the garden and nodded before they made their way into the house once more.
There guide Katrine leaded them towards the door in the kitchen. They were leaded into a small room which held the stairs but was empty otherwise.
“This room could be perfect as a washing room. It's not that big but just big enough to leave some stuff.”
They were leaded up the stairs. The stairs were in black and stood out against the white walls.
Up the stairs, they were leaded through a hallways. There were 5 doors. Behind the first door, there was the big master bedroom. It was a perfect size for the two of them and had a view on the garden. The room had two doors. One leaded towards a small indoor closet, which Kurt was all giddy about. The other leaded towards the master bathroom.
Just like the living room, the bathroom was just renovated. It held a beautiful bath and a nice modern shower and a modern toilet. The washbasins were neatly incorporated in the wall and above them was a long mirror. There was a small closet for their supplies next to the mirror. It wasn't that big but Blaine knew they would manage.
On the other side of the hall was another bedroom. That would become Lizzy's bedroom. It also had a nice view on the garden but was a little smaller than their master bedroom. Blaine could already imagine how it would look like once they had turned it into Lizzy's bedroom.
Next to the room was a small bathroom. It wasn't that big but just big enough to hold a shower, a toilet and a washing basin. Blaine knew they could make it in a bathroom more for children and Lizzy would love it.
Then there was one more small bedroom one the side of Lizzy's room. It would be perfect to keep as a bedroom for if anyone wanted to stay over. On the other side of the hallway, next to the stairs, was a small bathroom to go with it.
When they had looked through all the rooms and asked a few questions about them, Katrine started leading them to the thirds floor. It had surprise them a bit that the house had a third floor as it wasn't really noticeable from the outside.
There was a small hallways and three small rooms up the stairs, right under the roof. Blaine was sure that one would become an office for Kurt and maybe he could steal one to put a few off his stuff like his large book case and maybe he could put a few of his high school instruments in there.
That left them with one room, where he was sure Lizzy would find something for. Maybe they could turn it into a play room for her.
When the tour was over, they were leaded outside the house. Katrine closed the house carefully with her key and turned towards them with a happy smile, “so what did you guys think?”
Blaine looked at Kurt who was almost bouncing on his feet from excitement, “I think we both really like this house. It's perfect for the three of us.”
Katrine nodded her head and gave them her business card, “how about you think about it for a bit and you can contact me on this number. I'll keep an option for it for you guys for the next 24 hours.”
The guys said goodbye to them and thanked her multiple times for the tour before they watched her drive away with the car.
It was only when they walked back into the Hummel's house that they realized how long they had been gone.
Burt looked up at them in relieve, “we thought you guys were lost or something,” Burt said.
Kurt rolled his eyes, “no dad, we went for a walk.”
Burt pointed his finger towards Kurt, “don't give me that attitude.”
Carole started giggling next to him, “oh let them be Burt. So where did you guys went?”
So they started telling them about how they had ended up at the house in the paradise street and how they had immediately fallen in love with it.
Not too long after their story unfolded, Carole had taken their laptop and asked them to look up the house on the immo site.
The advertisement held pictures of every room in the house and Carole awhed at every room. While Carole seemed to love it, Burt was more hesitant. He asked them questions about which type of wood was used for the floors and how well it was isolated.
In the end, he kind of seemed to fall for it just like Kurt and Blaine had.
And luckily for them, the asking price was just right. They called Lizzy and showed her the pictures and she seemed to like it as well.
It's how they ended up putting an offer the same evening. And luckily Katrine didn't make them wait too long and contacted them not an hour later to tell them the offer had been accepted.
Burt had opened a bottle of wine and poured it into neat glasses to celebrate. Lizzy on the other hand, sipped from her children Champaign like it was the most fanciest drink in the world.
During the evening, Lizzy kept on talking about how she wanted to paint her room in a beautiful shade of blue and how she wanted a princess bed. Blaine just knew she would get what she wanted as they had to buy her a whole new room so Lizzy could stay over once a week by Burt and Carole as they had made them promise.
It took Lizzy two hours of talking their ears off before she started dozing off, tired from the excitement that slowly had left her body.
Blaine and Kurt had said goodnight to Burt and Carole and put her in her bed before going to Kurt's room for the night.
It was when Kurt had rolled into Blaine's arms and cuddled close to him that Blaine realized they were going to really move in together. That they had bought a house together.
“I can't believe we found our house,” Blaine whispered into Kurt's hair.
Kurt giggled against his chest, “you better believe it Blaine. We're stuck now.”
Blaine chuckled and shook his head, “I like it though. But I'm a little scared about Lizzy her determination to make the perfect room.”
Kurt leaned on his chest and looked at him playfully, “well I think she got that from her dad. I won't settle for anything but perfection either, mister Anderson.”
Blaine tickled his sides, “is that so mister Hummel. Well I hope you do find perfection than.”
Kurt slapped his hands away before he leaned forwards until their lips were almost touching, “well I already found perfection and I'll be lucky enough soon to be living with that perfection every day.”
Blaine couldn't hold it any longer and leaned forward to press his lips against Kurt's. Their lips were moving against each other's softly for a long time. Just lazily moving together in that dance they had already memorized.
Blaine cupped Kurt's face when they slowly pulled away, “I can't wait for us to move in together, Kurt.”
“Me neither,” Kurt whispered as he leaned forward and pressed another soft kiss against his lips, “and I'm sure Lizzy can't either. She loves you already so much. Almost as much like her daddy.”
Blaine smiled against Kurt's lips, “well if I can tell you a secret, I love her daddy just as much.”
They looked at each other with soft smiles that contained so much love until Kurt couldn't hold it anymore and leaned forward to press his lips against Blaine's.
They kissed each other lazily for the rest of the night until they softly fell asleep, cuddled into each other's arms, dreaming about their new house.
