Unfortunately for Blaine, Kurt was already home when he arrived at the front door. Nonetheless, he unlocked the door and entered the house, aiming directly for his room and hoping that Kurt was busy with Charlie somewhere in the house.

He let out a sigh when he finally closed his bedroom door and settled at his desk, trying to distract himself with homework. He really hoped that Kurt didn't hear him enter the house. He didn't want to face Kurt. He didn't know what to do. He knew that he should talk to him instead of hiding. Deep inside, he knew that Kurt loved him. Thing was that not an hour earlier, he was reminded that Kurt had not told him in days, if not weeks. He finished his history essay and settled on his bed to read the few chapters he had to read for his English class. He ended up reading more, carefully taking notes on the key moments of the plot, hoping they would be relevant for the pop quiz he'll have to take the next week. Blaine wanted to be prepared. And if taking notes was longer than reading the actual chapter several times, so what? He would be ready. At least, that's what he told himself, trying not to face the fact that he was actually avoiding Kurt.

Blaine was son focused on what he was doing that he only looked up from his book when he heard a small knock on his door. He got up and opened the door, only to find little Aaron on the threshold, holding a math book.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Blaine" Aaron said ever so quietly "But can you help me, please?"

"Sure, buddy" Blaine replied "Come on in" He added as he closed the door, looking instinctively for Kurt in the hallway.

Blaine went to sit on the bed and looked expectantly at Aaron. It was not really a surprise anymore for Aaron to come in Blaine's room. He relied even more on Blaine now that Kurt had his hands full with Charlie. The girl really was adorable, but it was a lot of care and Burt has been working a lot in the garage these past few weeks. Kurt had taken upon himself to watch her.

While answering the boy's geometry questions, Blaine thought about what Santana said, about how Kurt and Aaron used to go to the park every day after school.

"Hey, buddy" Blaine asked when the boy was done solving his math problem. "You wanna go to the park after dinner? If you're done with all your work, of course"

Blaine knew that he could not possibly take Kurt's place in Aaron's heart. But he could at least try to be a good big brother for him. He knew he had done something right when Aaron's eyes lit up at the mere mention of going to the park.

"You would go to the park with me?"

"Of course!" Blaine reassured him. "So, is that a yes?"

Aaron nodded so fast that Blaine thought he might hurt his neck. Chuckling, Blaine ruffled his hair while Burt was calling both boys for dinner.

"We'll do the dishes and then we'll go" Blaine said as they were leaving his bedroom.

Dinner was quiet. Blaine was avoiding Kurt's gaze  and Kurt was watching Charlie, who was playing on the ground. Kurt had made Charlie eat while Burt was preparing dinner for the others.

"Hey Kurt" Burt suddenly said while they were eating in silence. Kurt raised his head to listen to his dad. "Take a break tonight, will you? Go out! Enjoy life! I got Charlie, okay?"

Kurt nodded, not knowing what to do with his sudden freedom. He was so used to take care of Charlie at night, doing his homework while talking to her that he was taken aback with Burt's proposition.

"Um... Yeah... Sure!" Kurt replied. He turned his head towards Blaine and asked : "Want to watch a movie? It's been a while since we spent time together"

"He can't!" Aaron suddenly shouted before Blaine even have time to swallow his mouthful to reply. Everybody was surprised; quiet Aaron shouted during dinner time. "He's going to the park with me!"

"Is that true?" Kurt said, kindly, his gaze going from Blaine to Aaron.

Blaine nodded, not knowing what to think. He just lost the opportunity to spend time with Kurt but he knew that Aaron needed him. He just got another proof from his outburst. Aaron being so possessive only meant one thing : he was really looking forward spending time with Blaine.

"Maybe I can come with you, guys?" Kurt said to Aaron. "The more the merrier, right?"

"No, that's okay!" Aaron simply replied. "Blaine and I are going to play Thor. I'm Thor and he's Loki and there's no more characters."

Kurt felt his heart sank. He never got rejected by Aaron before. Not since he first arrived in the care of Burt.

"Okay, have fun then!" Kurt answered with a smile. Aaron was deceived, he couldn't see Kurt getting hurt by the rejection. But Blaine did, and he did not know how to feel about it. On one side, it sadden him to see Kurt hurt because he was rejected, on the other side, he was glad Kurt was, somehow, tasting his own medicine.

The next day, at school, Kurt was talking with Rachel at his locker, taking his books for his next class.

"I don't know... For once, my dad wants to take care of Charlie... I mean, not that I mind taking care of her, but I always am!"

Rachel was silent, knowing how Kurt could be. Kurt had his heart on his hand. She knew that Kurt probably decided to take care of Charlie every night, leaving everyone out.

"I was glad to have a day off... But Blaine already had something planned. I just wanted to do something with him. Aaron didn't want me to get involved..." Kurt finished.

"Oh please!" Satana's voice said from behind them. "Please tell me you're not that blind, Porcelain!"

Both Kurt and Rachel looked towards the Latina who was now leaning against a locker behind Rachel.

"What do you want, Santana?" Kurt asked, exasperated.

"Don't tell me you haven't seen Blaine moping for weeks because you weren't even looking at him at school?" Santana said.

Kurt's mind raced. He really tried to see when Blaine looked sad or morose. He couldn't. In fact, he couldn't remember spending time with Blaine at all in the past few weeks. He started to feel guilty. He had neglected Blaine.

"Everyone thinks you're Super Nanny, Hummel." Santana continued "Even you. Thing is, I know better."

"Why don't you go away, Santana. I'm sure Brittany is waiting for you in the bathroom" Rachel spat at the Cheerio. "Kurt is great at what he's doing. He's helping those kids"

"Of course he's helping them." Santana acquiesced. "Before hanging them out to dry..."

Kurt was shocked. He knew Santana well enough to be sure of one thing : no matter how mean she could be, there was always truth in her words, no matter how harsh they were.

"See! You can't even reply. That usually means I'm right!" The Latina said before turning around and leaving a speechless Rachel and a depressed Kurt behind.
