December 1st, 2015

"Kurt we are going to be late," Cassidy said rocking back and forth on her feet.

"We are not going to be late," Kurt said rushing around the apartment and picking up things as he ran.

Cassidy sighed and sat on the edge of the couch, "Blaine isn't going to be very happy if we are late."

Kurt grumbled, "We are not going to be late. Now please get your coat on," he instructed the little girl.

Cassidy stood up and walked over to the coat hook. She grabbed her coat and put it on.

The timer made a dinging noise in the kitchen, "Oh no!" Kurt ran into the kitchen and pulled out the cookies he was supposed to bring tonight.

"Did they burn?" Cassidy asked as she zipped up her coat.

"No they-ow-didn't," Kurt said back as he threw the fresh cookies into a container, "I hope they didn't get ruined."

Cassidy watched as Kurt ran out of the kitchen, "I think we are going to be-"

"Don't say it," Kurt said putting on his own coat in a hurry, "Carry the cookies and don't let them go." He buttoned his coat and grabbed his keys.

Cassidy let out a giggle.

"What is it?" Kurt asked her.

"You missed a button," Cassidy pointed to Kurt's uneven coat.

Kurt groaned, "I can not believe what a day it's been," he reached down and fixed the buttons on his coat. "Now," he grabbed his keys and wallet from the stand next to the door, "Am I forgetting anything?"

"Nope," Cassidy shook her head.

"Wait, my phone," Kurt said running into his room and grabbing his phone that was charging on one of the bedside tables.

Cassidy watched as Kurt ran down the hall and fell as he tripped on one of the rugs. "I told you that would happen."

"You're cat is laying in the middle of the hall," Kurt grumbled as he stood up and brushed the front of his coat off. "Come on, we really need to get going now."

"Or we'll be late?" Cassidy teased him.

Kurt reached over and grabbed a scarf, he wrapped it around Cassidy's head, "Take my hand and let's go."

Cassidy took his hand and they left their apartment. "Blaine won't be happy if we are late," she repeated once more.

"We aren't going to be late," Kurt said as they walked down the stairs, "Please just let's get going before we are late."

Cassidy just followed along as Kurt held onto her hand and they walked through the New York streets. "I thought we were going to get a cab."

"It's faster if we walk," Kurt said as they stopped for a red light. "Are you warm enough?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Cassidy nodded still holding the cookies with one hand.

"Just let me know if you are getting cold," Kurt said to her.

Cassidy squeezed his hand, "You worry too much."

"Or not enough," Kurt smiled down at her. The light changed and they walked across the street. He was walking fast and held on tight to Cassidy's hand.

Kurt definitely does not want a repeat of when they first moved to New York and Cassidy let go of his hand. Thank goodness they were at a park and an officer was there to sit with Cassidy. Of course, she didn't mind because the officer had bought her an ice cream cone.

"Kurt, slow down," Cassidy said loosing her grip on the cookies.

"I got it," Kurt grabbed the container, "I hope they aren't ruined."

"I doubt it," Cassidy smiled at him as they half ran now. "There is the building," she pointed to the tall building with red bricks.

Kurt shook his head, "I can't believe he is playing for a concert on December first."

"You are the one that volunteered to make the cookies," Cassidy said to him.

They just ran in to the building and walked inside to the warmth, even though it wasn't that cold outside. The man smiled at them as they rushed inside.

"Cassidy and Kurt, there you two are."

Cassidy turned and saw one of the teacher's from the school Blaine played the piano for, "Hello Mrs. Richards."

"You two are almost late," Mrs. Richards smiled.

Kurt looked down at Cassidy, "See, not late. Here are the cookies you needed," he handed her the container of cookies.

Mrs. Richards opened the container, "Oh, well um...Kurt dear what did you bring?"

"What?" Kurt asked and he looked in the container, "Oh my god! I grabbed the wrong container."

Cassidy peeked inside and saw that inside the container wasn't cookies but it was the left over garlic bread from last night. "Oh my favorite," she giggled.

Kurt groaned, "I'm so sorry Mrs. Richards."

"It's alright dear," Mrs. Richards patted him on the back, "I wouldn't worry about it. We have more than enough cookies."

"I can't believe I grabbed the wrong container," Kurt said letting his head fall into his hands.

"Come on," Cassidy said pulling on Kurt's coat, "We need to find our seats."

"I can not believe I grabbed the wrong container," Kurt groaned as he and Cassidy walked into the auditorium. "This Christmas is a disaster already."

"It will all be okay," Cassidy told him, "It's only December first."

"Oh god," Kurt groaned and then mumbled something that Cassidy couldn't hear.

Cassidy found two seats that seemed to be okay seats. They weren't here early like they planned to be and many of the seats were already filled. Kurt and Cassidy were here to show Blaine support since it was his first show as the piano player for the school. It was the middle school Cassidy would attend in a few years.

Blaine saw the advertisement at Cassidy's elementary school and he called right away because even with his coffee shop job, he wanted the extra cash. Kurt told him he didn't have to if he didn't want too, but Blaine really wanted to get more practice in.

"Blaine just peeked out," Cassidy said jumping in her seat, "I wonder if he will play the piano for every song?" she looked in the program.

"Where did you get that?" Kurt asked her not remembering when she grabbed it.

Cassidy looked up at him, "When we walked in and you were still complaining about your not cookies."

"Great," Kurt slumped in his seat, "Anything good?"

"There is a solo for All I Want For Christmas Is You, do you remember when we made pancakes and all sang that song?" Cassidy asked him.

Kurt laughed and nodded his head, "I sure do."

"That was fun," Cassidy sighed happily.

The light flickered and signaled the start of the concert. Everyone sat down and the room went silent. Blaine walked over to the piano and sat down.

Kurt had to admit, he looked incredibly handsome wearing his adorable holiday sweater that Kurt found for him to wear. He knew Blaine would need them, so when he found them half off he couldn't help but by six of them.

The curtain opened and revealed a small choir of younger looking kids. Kurt figured they must be the sixth grade choir. He knew it was going to be a long night.

The show finally went to intermission after some boy singing his own rendition of Jingle Bell Rock, and Kurt couldn't have been gladder because he hadn't seen Blaine since the morning. And Blaine promised to meet them out in the hallway during intermission.

Cassidy and Kurt walked out into the hallway and saw the small spread of cookies they had available.

Kurt glared at the table as they walked over to it. Cassidy picked up a few cookies, "Don't spoil your dinner." They had planned a late dinner in celebration of Blaine's first concert.

"I won't," Cassidy said as she nibbled on one of the cookies.

"Hey guys," Blaine smiled walking towards them. He gave Kurt a kiss on the cheek and leaned down to kiss Cassidy on the head, "I think you grew another inch since when I last saw you."

Cassidy pushed Blaine's arm away, "Stop it."

"Fine fine," Blaine laughed, "So how am I doing?"

"Wonderful," Kurt said as he wrapped an arm around Blaine's waist, "Its fun to see you so happy up there."

Blaine looked down, "Well it is fun. One of the kids even said I can come back."

"I'm glad the children are letting you come back," Kurt said as he let out a laugh.

"Now I want some of those cookies," Blaine said looking over at the table, "Where are the ones you brought?"

Cassidy let out a giggle and Kurt gave her a stern look, "Well see-"

"Kurt left them at home," Cassidy giggled as she told her brother, "We were going to be late and he grabbed the wrong container."

Blaine bit his bottom lip to stop him from laughing, "Really?"

Kurt groaned and let his head fall onto Blaine's shoulder, "It was an accident. I put them in the container and then set it on the counter and I grabbed the wrong one. And we weren't late."

"Almost," Cassidy sang as she took a bite of cookie and looked over at group of kids, "Its Caroline can I go talk to her for a little bit?"

"Go ahead," Blaine said to his sister and she ran. "You do know its fine," he said to Kurt as he reached over and grabbed a cookie from one of the plates, "It just means more of your cookies for me."

Kurt laughed, "I swear you always find the good things in any situation."

"Hey more cookies for me is so many good things all wrapped up in one," Blaine smiled as he kissed Kurt's head.

"You are really having fun up there, aren't you?" Kurt asked him.

Blaine nodded, "I am. I mean it's not exactly how I thought spending my extra time would go, but it's been fun."

"We just want you happy Blaine," Kurt said as he tilted his head as if pointing to Cassidy as well who was now deep in conversation with someone she knew from school.

"I know," Blaine sighed happily, "I can't wait until the spring concert with these kids, all of the love song solos."

"Oh god," Kurt groaned, "That will just remind me way to much of high school and all the drama."

"Good thing Ashley is moving here in a few months," Blaine said, "You can drag her along and then make fun of songs all you want."

"Not the kids though, some of them actually have some nice voices," Kurt said with a nod.

"They do," Blaine grinned, "We could have the next Billy Joel or Christina Aguilera up there on that stage."

Kurt gave him a look, "Really? Billy Joel or Christina Aguilera?"

"Those were the first two New York natives that popped into my head," Blaine said with a shrug as he popped the last of the cookie into his mouth, "But I have to get back."

"Alright then," Kurt smiled and leaned in to give Blaine a kiss, "Good luck on your second act."

"I got this down," Blaine said as he did a dance move that Kurt was sure Cassidy would use her whining voice while saying 'Blainey stop you're embarrassing me.'

Kurt laughed, "Sweetie, why don't you leave the dancing to the young ones here."

"Right," Blaine laughed with him, "Cassidy!"

Cassidy turned from her conversation and walked over to her brother, "Yes?"

"I have to get back now," Blaine said as he gave her a hug, "Thanks for coming."

"Wouldn't miss it for the world," Cassidy teased, "Besides my teacher said I get extra credit for coming."

"Of course you do," Kurt shook his head and looked up at his fiancé, "Have fun."

Blaine gave him another kiss, "Will do and I will be thinking all about those cookies at home while I'm up there."

"Just get out of here," Kurt said pushing Blaine's arm playfully.

"Bye," Blaine waved as he left them.

"It's going to be worse when you're married," Cassidy said.

Kurt looked down at the ten year old, "I'm sorry?"

"You two are all mushy now, I know it will be worse when you're married," Cassidy pointed out. "Come on, we have to get back to our seats."

Kurt took Cassidy's hand and thought to himself about she may be right, but then again it will probably be one of the greatest things too. He giggled to himself as they found their seats to watch the rest of the show.
