"Morning Blaine." Kurt said ask he sat down in his seat in front of  Blaine. "Hey Mercedes, Tina." 

"Hey Kurt." Blaine replied. Kurt hooked his satchel on his chair and turned around to talk to Blaine. 

"How was yesterday with the boys?" 

"It was pretty fun. I beat Finn at basketball twice. He fell about 5 times." Blaine smiled.

"Yeah. He does that. He's not very coordinated with his feet." 

"I noticed." They both laughed softly. 

"Class let's get started." Mr. Flint came in. 

Kurt turned around and faced the front of the room. Mercedes passed over a note to Kurt. "So, how are you and Blaine? ;)" 

Kurt scribbled down a reply on the little note quickly. "We're just friends." It said.

"Sure :P" Mercedes wrote down.

Kurt and Blaine walked out of class together and headed to French class."So, I was wondering if you wanted to come over after school today so we can work on our duet. We can decide what song to do and practice. Maybe we can perform it on Wednesday?"

"I don't know. I have to pick up Dani from school."

"She can come over too. I bet she'd love to hear her older brother singing."

"I don't think so. She asks me to sing to her ever night." Blaine feels his own cheeks blush.

"That's sweet." Kurt smiles. "Maybe she'll like to hear a duet from us instead then."

Blaine pauses to think about it. "Sure I guess."

"Alright. Meet me out front after school, we'll pick up Dani from school then we'll head over to my house." 

Blaine nodded in agreement. "By the way, did you get last night's homework for French? I couldn't get number 4."

"Of course. Here I'll help you." Kurt said when they sat down in their seats. He took out his notebook and showed Blaine his answers and explained it to him until Madame Lori came in and told everyone hello and to settle down in French.

"Where's your sister's school?" Kurt asks as the two buckle in their seat belts.

"Johnson Elementary. It's just around the corner." Blaine says. 

"Oh, I know where that is." Kurt puts his car into reverse and carefully backs out of his parking spot. He drives off to Dani's school. "Here." Kurt says handing Blaine his ipod. 

"What?" Blaine says confused.

"Go through my songs and see if there's anything you're interested in singing. I have a lot of different songs, there should be at least one song that you'll like." Blaine does as Kurt says and looks through all his songs. He knows a lot of them, but there's a lot of them he doesn't recognize. He picks out just a couple and keeps them in mind. Making sure to remember to tell Kurt which songs he wants to sing with him. "Here we are. Johnson Elementary." Kurt drives into the school's parking lot. "It's pretty quiet."

"Yeah. They get out at 2:30. Half an hour before we get out. So I asked the teacher to look after her until I can pick her up. Sometimes I ask her friend's parents to look after her when I can't pick her up." Blaine opens the car door and walks out. "Do you want to come?" He asks. Kurt nods and follows Blaine into the school.

Kurt and Blaine walk in silence for a while, and Blaine leads the two to Dani's classroom. Blaine seems to know his way around the school. They reach a classroom that has a sign that says "2D" hanging on the door window. Blaine knocks on it and he waits for someone to open it. The door opens and a woman greets them. Kurt guesses that must be Dani's teacher. "Good Afternoon Blaine. You're a bit early." She says. She turns to Kurt and introduces herself. "Hello, I'm Donna Jackson." 

"I'm Kurt Hummel." he replies, and shakes her hand. 

"Come on in. Dani's in the book corner like she always is." Kurt and Blaine walk into the classroom. Kurt scans the classroom, and locks his eyes on Dani in the corner of the room with books all around her, like Mrs. Jackson said. 

"So how's she doing in school?" Blaine asks putting his hands in his pocket.

"Oh, her grades haven't moved an inch. She's still doing excellent. Specially in reading."

"Of course. You've seen all the books she brings home every week." Blaine smiled. 

"Blaine!" Dani says hugging him tightly. "Are you here to take me home?"

"Not really." Dani stares at him confused. 

"I'm gonna go over to Kurt's house for a while. Do you want to come with me?" Dani looks at Kurt and smiles. 

"Yeah!" She said quickly. 

"Okay. Go get your stuff and we'll go." He tells Dani. She runs back over to her spot in the corner to out the books away and grab her backpack. 

"Thanks again Mrs. Jackson for taking care of her." He says to the teacher. 

"No problem Blaine." She says as she walks them over to the door. 

"Bye Mrs. Jackson!" Dani says. Blaine and Kurt give her a wave goodbye and they walk back outside to Kurt's navigator.

The three of them got to Kurt's house in less then ten minuets. When they walked in, they noticed Burt sitting in his chair watching a game on TV.

"Hey Bud, how was school?" He asked without looking away from the television screen.

"School was school. I brought a friend from school." Burt turned around and looked to them. He stood from his chair and walked over to the group of three. "Dad, this is Blaine. He's new to our school and I'm doing a duet with him in Glee Club." Burt shook his hand firmly. Blaine was intimidated by Kurt's father. It might have been the way he looked really confident, or the way he was staring at him. "And this is Blaine's little sister, Dani." 

Burt's expression got softer when he saw the little girl hiding behind Blaine's legs. Dani didn't usually like meeting people she didn't know. But over time she starts opening up to them. 

Burt bent down to Dani's size and held out his hand. "Hello." He said softly, waiting for Dani to shake his hand. 

Dani didn't say anything. She only stared at the larger man. "Go on Dani." Blaine encouraged her. She stepped away from Blaine a little, but still didn't say anything. 

"I wont hurt you." Burt said softly trying not to scare the child. Dani slowly raised her hand, and she finally shook Burt's hand. "So do you kids want something to eat?" But asked them. "Carole made a couple sandwiches before she left for work." 

"Thanks Dad. We'll just bring them into my room." Kurt disappears into the kitchen and comes back moments later with a couple sandwiches on a plate. "My room's upstairs." He says to Blaine. 

"It was nice meeting you, Sir." Blaine says to Burt. Burt nods in response, and watches as the three kids walk upstairs to Kurt's room.

"So what songs do you think we should sing?" Kurt asked Blaine.  Dani was busy in the corner of the room reading a book Kurt had of old fairy tales. 

"I looked through your iPod and I saw a couple that I think would be cool to sing as a duet."

"Which ones?"

"Perfect, Animal, and Candles."

"Ooh. Nice selection. But I've always thought that Animals would be better as a Capella group with a duet. And I don't think we should sing a breakup song for our duet. But I think Perfect would be a great duet." Kurt explained. 

"Alright. Sounds good." Blaine replied.
