Wednesday September 29th

Blaine hadn't been avoiding Kurt this entire week; he just had so much work to do. He barely managed to get Samantha to school before he had a meeting or another showing to go to. He was glad it was Wednesday because he always had the first part of the day off, so he planned on going to see Kurt.

On the way to school they stopped by a little coffee shop and he got himself and Kurt something to drink. Right as the entered the school gates Samantha was off, going to play with a friend which was alright with Blaine. He didn't tell her about his new found relationship with her teacher yet.

He entered the school and went to the ever familiar class room and went through the door. Kurt was sitting at his desk, probably doing something important on his computer.

"Hey."

Kurt looked up from his work, a smile gracing his face at the sight of Blaine.

"Didn't think you remembered me."

Blaine let out a little laugh before walking over and handing Kurt the cup of coffee and then taking at set on the side of his desk.

"I wouldn't forget you, I had work."

"Mmmm." Kurt said as he took a sip from his cup.

Blaine leaned down and placed a soft kiss onto Kurt's lips, he felt Kurt smile, which in return made him deepen the kiss. They kissed for a few minutes before Kurt pulled away with a flushed face.

"Are you free Saturday?" Blaine asked.

Kurt gave him a quizzical look before answering. "It depends." He said with a smirk.

"Would you want to go out with me?"

"Mmmm, I don't know, I would have to look at my schedule." He said sarcastically.

Well two could play at that game. "Alright, I'll go, give you some time to "Look at your schedule" and then you can get back to me." He leaned down and kissed Kurt hard on the mouth. His tongue grazing over Kurt's bottom lip. Kurt let out a whimper and then opened his mouth, allowing Blaine's tongue to slip over his teeth. All of a sudden Blaine pulled back with a smirk. Their noses were touching, their lips inches apart. "Let me know." He said breathy, the hot air hitting Kurt's swollen lips. He pecked him one last time before turning to leave the room. Right before he exited the door, he turned back around. "And Kurt?"

"Mhmm." He said, obviously still trying to recover from what just happened.

"You might want to get yourself together, the bell rang." He shot Kurt a wink and then left the building.

On his way into his building he received a text.

From: Kurt

You tease! But I would greatly enjoy going out with you on Saturday. My place at 6?

To: Kurt

*gasp* I am no such thing! But that sounds wonderful. Be prepared to walk around.

From: Kurt

Why? What are we doing?

To: Kurt

Surprise.

From: Kurt

Blaine...

To: Kurt

Shhh, just know that we will be walking. Now go teach my daughter ;)

Saturday October 2nd

Saturday couldn't have come slower for Blaine. The rest of his week had been full of meetings and house showings, which never seemed to end. He was glad it was the weekend, and most importantly his date with Kurt.

He was busy getting ready when Samantha ran into his room, jumping on his bed. She was still in her pj's and her hair was in a loose pony tail. In that very moment, she reminded him of her mother. Heather would always stay in her bed wear, no matter the time. He mentally slapped himself for thinking of her in a time like this, and turned his attention to the bouncing girl on his bed.

"Daaaaddd, who are you seeing tonight?" Samantha asked as she jumped up and down on his bed.

"First off, do not jump on my bed. Down." She rolled her eyes and then jumped down, lying on her stomach at the foot of the bed.

He went back to getting ready, putting just a little bit of gel in his hair to control the curls. He then went to his closet pulling out a pair of dark jeans and a bright yellow v-neck with a pair of blue converse.

"You never answered my question." Samantha said.

"Just a friend."

"Do I get to meet him? Please can I meet him! I never get to meet anyone you go out with." She pouted.

"You will meet him eventually." He said with a smile. Even though you already know him. But she didn't need to know that quite yet.

"Fine. Are you going to marry this one dad?"

He turned around to her, she looked sincere, she actually wanted to know the question.

"I don't know Sam. Maybe. It depends how things go. Why are you so interested?"

"Its just that one of my friends in class, he mom is getting married, and she gets to wear a pretty dress, and I want to wear a pretty dress." She said defeated. Blaine pulled her into a hug and kissed her hair.

"One day baby, you will get to wear a very pretty dress at your own wedding."

"Really?" She said, sounding like she just found out the biggest secret in the world.

"Really Really."

"Hey dad?"

"What is it Samantha?"

"Don't call me baby." And with that she skipped out of the room. He laughed and rolled his eyes.

The doorbell rang and Blaine went to answer it.

"Hey baby brother!" Cooper said, swooping into hug him. The one advantage with his brother living in the city was having a free babysitter.

"Hey Coop."
"UNCLE COOPER!!" Samantha said, running to hug her uncle. She jumped and pinned her legs around his waist.

"Hey birthday girl!"

"It's not my birthday!" Samantha said in a stern voice.

"Ah, but it is in exactly one month. So it is your one month till your birthday, birthday."

"You're silly." She said getting down from hugging him.

"So baby brother, got a hot date tonight?" He said wiggling his eyebrows in Blaine's direction.

He pinched the bridge of his nose. "Sort of, look just have her in bed BY ten. No later, she has a birthday party tomorrow."

"Sure thing squirt."

"And don't call me that." And with that Blaine was out the door.

He arrived at Kurt's ten minutes later. He knocked and heard the dog barking again. The door swung open, and Kurt stood in front of him. He did a once over than looked Kurt in the eye.

"I told you we were walking, you can't wear those." He said pointing to the knee high boots Kurt was sporting.

"Nothing else goes with this outfit."

"Still can't wear those, change them." Kurt rolled his eyes and motioned for Blaine to come in. He stood awkwardly in the front room waiting for Kurt to come back. When he finally reappeared he was wearing a completely different outfit, but had on a better pair of shoes for walking.

"Happy?"

"Very, now let's go!"

When they arrived, the look on Kurt's face was priceless. It was a mix between surprise and happiness.

"A carnival?" Kurt asked.

"Uh, yea, but if you don't like it we can go somewhere else!" Blaine said in a hurry.

"No! No, I love it."

They started towards the group of rides and games. They went on a few roller coasters and on one called the swing around, and then played a few other games before sitting and eating burgers. Kurt was so against it, but Blaine pointed out that there wasn't anywhere else to go, so he caved and ate the burger.

After they ate, they went to the Farris Wheel. It was peaceful, and you could see the lights from the city.

"It's beautiful up here." Kurt said.

"Mmm." Blaine said distractedly.

"What now?" Kurt asked, seeing Blaine wasn't fully paying attention.

"Nothing, I was just thinking."

"About..?" Kurt prompted.

"How much I like you." He said with a small blush creeping up his neck.

"Oh." Kurt said with a shy smile. "I like you to Blaine. A lot."
Blaine looked over at him and smiled. The rest of the date went well, and sooner then both of them would have liked Blaine was dropping Kurt off at his apartment.

"Bye Kurt."

"Bye Blaine, I had a really fantastic night." He placed a small kiss on Blaine's lips before closing the door.

Monday October 4th

Blaine walked into the dark class room with two coffees in hand. He decided to make it a usual occurrence after their date on Saturday. He flipped on the light switch and saw Kurt with his head down on his desk. He slowly walked over to the man sitting in the chair and wrapped his arms around his waist. Kurt jumped a little, but suddenly relaxed at the voice in his ear.

"You know, you aren't supposed to be sleeping." Blaine whispered into his ear.

"Mmm, I'm tired." Kurt mumbled.

"Ah, that is why I brought you some coffee." Kurt sat up with a smile on his face.

"You are the best."

Blaine did a little bow. "Thank you."

"So what are you doing here?" Kurt asked, he saw Blaine's face fall and quickly continued talking "Not that I don't want you here! Just wondering what I did to be graced with your presence."

"Oh, just thought I would stop by, see you." He said quietly.

"Well it's wonderful to see you." Kurt said with a smile. Blaine placed a light kiss to his lips before getting off his desk.

"I gotta go to the office, but I will see you tomorrow." Kurt smiled in response and then he left.

 Friday October 8th

They continued having their little coffee dates each morning and soon enough, it was Friday again.

"Kurt, can I ask you something?"

"Mhmm." He said as he took a sip from his coffee.

"Are you busy tonight?"

"No, I'm perfectly free." Kurt said with a smile on his face.

"Good, I want to take you to dinner."

"Yes please." He said, smile getting even bigger.

Later that night they sat across from each other, reading the menus and stealing glances. Once everything was ordered and they were finally left alone, a peaceful silence was put over them. Blaine would be perfectly happy with just staring at Kurt all day. He was beautiful. His eyes were so many different colors, it felt like they changed every time he blinked.

 "Hey Blaine?" Kurt suddenly asked.

"Yea?"

"I was just wondering, do you tell her?"

"What?" Blaine asked, obviously confused by the question.

"Do you tell Samantha that we go out on dates and stuff like that?"

"No." Blaine put simply. He could see the hurt that washed over Kurt's eyes.

"Oh." He said in a tiny whisper.

"I want to make sure this thing," he motioned between them, "I want to make sure it's real before I tell her."

"Oh." He said again.

"Its not that I don't want to tell her, I do. But I have only dated a few other people, and it just has never worked out. I don't want to get her hopes up, to just see me crash, and be alone." He explained further.

"I get it. I completely understand. Is this real between us?"

"It's definitely real." With that Kurt smiled at him.  

Monday October 11th

"Dad, do you know where Mr. Kurt is?" Samantha asked over dinner. Blaine hadn't had the time to make the coffee date, so he was a little confused. Samantha must have seen the confusion because she continued. "He wasn't at school today. We had a sub."
"Oh, no sweetie, I don't know where he is."

After dinner, Blaine cleaned up and then texted Kurt.

To: Kurt

Hey, are you okay?

When he didn't get a reply an hour later he sent another one.

To: Kurt

Kurt, just checking that you are okay. Let me know k?

He didn't get any messages that night, which made him super nervous. He hoped Kurt was alright, and that he wasn't just lying in his apartment sick.

Saturday October 16th

By Saturday Blaine was freaking out. Kurt hadn't been at school all week, and he hadn't returned any of Blaine's texts. So Blaine decided to make a trip over to Kurt's to see if he was at least alive.

He knocked loudly a couple times before he heard shuffling behind the door. Kurt opened it. He looked pale, paler than usual and he had puffy eyes like he had been crying.

"Blaine..." Kurt squeaked out.

"Are you okay? God Kurt you scared me." Blaine leaned in for a kiss but Kurt backed away. Blaine gave him a questioning look.

"Look Blaine, right now, I just, I can't do this." Kurt said his voice cracking.

"Oh, do you want me to come back?" Blaine said. Obviously not understanding what Kurt was saying.

"No, I can't be in any kind of relationship, or just anything right now. It's just too much, with everything going on-," his voiced cracked again. "I'm sorry." He said softly before shutting the door on Blaine.

Monday October 18th

Kurt sat at his desk, like he had done every week for the past few months. He looked down at the pile of work his students had done and mentally slapped himself. He shouldn't have taken an entire week off to go down to Ohio. Yes, it was hugely important, his dad had had another heart attack, but he should have only taken a few days off.

He sighed as he looked at the clock. The bell was due to ring at any moment. He shouldn't be surprised that Blaine didn't come in, he did technically "break-up" with him, but he was wishing that maybe he would come in and fight for him. But he guessed that sort of stuff only happened in fairy tails.

Saturday October 23rd

Blaine had thought it through, and he decided that he wasn't going to take no for an answer. No matter what was going on in Kurt's life, he could be there to help him through it.

That's why he found himself knocking on his door Saturday afternoon. He didn't know what he was expecting but it wasn't this. A tall, skinny man opened the door. He had brown eyes and brown hair. He was dressed in loose fitting jeans and a plaid shirt. He just looked awkward.

"Uhm, can I help you?" He asked looking down at Blaine. He definitely didn't like that feeling.

"You know what, no actually, thanks though." He was just about to leave when he heard his name being called.

"Blaine! What are you doing here?"

"It doesn't matter because obviously you have gotten over me quite well," He said harshly.

"What? No, that's, he isn't-." But Blaine cut him off.

"You know what, its fine Kurt, I understand why you couldn't be with me, you already had someone else. Just, I have to go."
Kurt was crying by now, which he didn't get, why would he be crying? His heart wasn't the one breaking.

"Blaine! Please, this isn't - he isn't! Blaine." Kurt was yelling after him, but it was to late, he got in his care and drove away, leaving a sobbing Kurt.

Friday October 29th

Blaine didn't understand why every year Samantha's classes had to have a Halloween party. They spent the entire day having the party and not learning. Blaine didn't like the idea of them, but here he was helping all the other parents keep the party going, while the kids bobbed for apples, and played games. He didn't want to be here, he didn't want to have to see Kurt, but he knew it was inevitable.

Blaine was standing by the bobbing for apples station when he saw Kurt. He was wearing a peter pan costume, and it looked hot. He looked hot. Blaine sighed. But before he could think about it any further, Samantha ran up to him.

"Look what I got dad!" She said shoving a bag of toys in his face.

"Awesome Sam!" He said as enthusiastic as he could.

"Oh! Are we still going trick-o-treating with Uncle Cooper?"

Shoot he had completely forgot about that. "Duh!" he said, not wanting to show her he forgot. She smiled and then ran off to show her friends. He took out his phone and quickly texted his brother.

To: Coop

Hey, we are still coming for Halloween.

From: Coop

Duh I already planned for you. Six good?

To: Coop

Yep, see you there.

He pocketed his phone and looked up. Kurt was staring at him from across the room. They made quick eye contact, but Blaine looked right away. He didn't want to talk to Kurt, not right now. He needed time to think about what he saw. Kurt had pretty much cheated on him, and it hurt. He just needed time. Blaine couldn't wait for this party to be over.

Sunday October 31st

"Squirt, Samantha! How are you?" He asked as Samantha jumped into his arms.

"Good! Ready for CANDY!" She screamed. Cooper placed her down and she ran off to find Hunter, his husky.

"How are you little bro? Are you still dating whoever it is you're dating?"

Blaine's face fell. "Uhm no, no we stopped seeing each other, but I'm fine."

"Oh, sorry bro."

"Its fine, are you ready to go princess?" He yelled to Samantha.

"YES!"

They all set out. Samantha decided to go as a princess so she could wear a pretty dress. Blaine smiled each time she would get a compliment. She would always smile up at them and then say a thank you, before rushing away.

By ten, Samantha was worn out, and practically falling asleep in Blaine's arms.

"You know Samantha, you're turning ten in two days, I can't carry you like this anymore." Blaine said with a sigh. She didn't reply though, she just snuggled deeper into his shoulder.

They made it back to Cooper's and managed to get her in the car, without waking her, which Blaine was thankful for.

"Listen little bro, I'm sorry about your relationship. It really sucks, but someone better will come along." Blaine just smiled.

By the time Blaine was in bed it was well past midnight. He set his alarm for its usual time, then laid back in his bed. He kept playing Coopers words in his head, It really sucks but someone better will come along.

That was just it; Blaine didn't think anyone was better than Kurt.
