Featured Song: Pirouette by Made in Heights
Melody would not stop bouncing when Kurt came to pick her up from school.The atmosphere was grey and rain continued to drizzle at a steady pace but watching Melody sing and slosh around in her red rain boots made Kurt smile.
"Daddy are you going to the parent meeting tonight?"
"Yes isnt it at the music store?"
"Yeah,Gages dad owns it."
"Well Ill be there are you going to be alright with Auntie Rachel?"
The little girl just nodded as Kurt lead her into the apartment. Rachel was already sitting in the apartment,swiping furiously at her phone.
"Damn game." Rachel huffed as she hugged Kurt.
Melody sat down on the couch and immediately pulled out her notebook.
"Is that homework?" Kurt asked Melody.She replied with a yes and Kurt plopped down next to Rachel.
"When do you have to leave?" Rachel inquired turning her head towards Kurt.
"Ive got two hours but I still have to shower and get changed."
"Come watch Project Runway with me before you go." Kurt nodded and smiled.He could never turn down Tim Gunn.
■■■ Blaine had busied himself with setting up the shop for the meeting while his son was coloring in a book behind the desk.
"You alright Buddy?" Blaine asked softly positioning chips and drinks on a red table.
"Papa? Will you sing me a song?" Blaine was about to say no when he was his honey eyes pleading at him.
"Pour my tea, pour my thoughts into separate beds,spilling out in the clouds, whirling like a pirouette. Every breath, every cross, everywhere I turn in my head, stitching thread, until my temples burn.From the crease of your mouth to the picket fences all the space, stretching out, blurring my defenses. Dignity, diligence, I could not avenge sink my teeth in the sheets and taste the emptiness love is sweet, love is dark and it pulls your world apart, so you can grow now I see perfectly, oh how it's clear what I needed the most was you here."
Blaine was so engrossed in the song that he didnt notice the man that walked in." If I ever let you down if I ever let you down if I ever let you down if I ever let you down."
"Spend my time, spend my dime, waiting for the train. All of these memories float around and ricochet like a storm when its thrown out over the sea as I roll, as I grow, tougher than I used to be love is sweet and it calls you again to bring you back from where you've been. Now I see perfectly through all the fear what I needed the most was you here"
"Wow."
Blaine looked up to see Kurt standing in his store with bright eyes gawking at him. "You sing beautifully."
"Thank you." Blaine stood up and walked over to Kurt.
"Gage stay there."
"Gage?" Kurt asked a smile smile tapering his lips.
"Yeah,hes my son."
"My daughter must go to school with your son."
"Oh wow what a coincidence."
"Yeah,he looks so much like you..."
"He definitely is mine." Blaine said with a proud smile.
"Well you have great genes." Kurt laughed but soon his smile faded away to a look that resembled a badly baked soufflé.
"Is your boyfriend going to be here?"
"No." Blaine said sharply his shoulders tensing with Kurt's words.
Kurts smile reappeared when he said the words.Kurt saw how upset Blaine seemed and rubbed his shoulder.They stood like that silently,staring into each others eyes when a small group of women entered the shop.
"Well then,lets get this party started." Kurt whispered quietly before grabbing Blaines hand and joining the group of women at the snack table.
■■■ "Kurt you really dont have to help clean up."
"No really its fine,my friend loves Melody so I have a sitter for as long as I need one."Kurt spoke in a calm tone as he picked up the red solo cups that covered every surface in shop.
"Thank you then, I didnt know moms were so messy.”
"Good thing youre a dad then." Blaine chuckled quietly, as he started to move the table.Kurt looked up and smiled at how Blaine seemed to struggle with the table.
"Here let me help you." Kurt elated grabbing the other end of the long table.They managed to move it to the back room when Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand.
"Thank you for your help." Blaine spoke quietly looking longingly into Kurts eyes.
"Youre welc..." Blaine lurched forward capturing Kurt's lips in his.Kurt kissed back heartily returning the passion that Blaine had given him.After a moment Kurt pulled back a worried look on his face.
"Sebastian..."
"and I are not together anymore." Blaine said sharply recapturing Kurt's hand in his.
Kurt nodded as Blaine started to kiss his neck "But I would" kiss "like to" kiss "take you" kiss "on a proper" kiss "date."
"I would love to." Kurt responded gingerly and slipped his lips into Blaine's.
They kissed for an hour, only breaking for air,Kurt had started to unbutton Blaines shirt when his phone started to ring.
"Sorry..." Kurt picked up his phone looking to see who was calling "Rachel?"
"Kurt where are you? Its 11 oclock! I have work in the morning! You cant expect me to stay all night!"
"Im sorry Rachel Im on my way now." Kurt hung up and grabbed a pen, scribbled down his number and stuffed it in Blaines pocket.
"See you soon Blaine." Kurt rushed out the door leaving Blaine awe struck by the events of the evening.Blaine grabbed his jacket and keys before waking up his son who had been sleeping through Blaines bliss.
■■■ Kurt rushed back to his apartment to see Rachel sitting on the couch angrily flipping through his Netflix account.
"Rachel,I love you but you're a fucking cockblock.” Rachel looked surprised at his words,contemplating whether to yell or to ask why she was being called a cock block.She choose the later.
"A cock block?" Kurt realized that she had no back ground information and then he started to explain.
"So I was the first to arrive at the meeting and guess who the owner of the music store is....The guy from the restaurant."
"The one with the asshole boyfriend?”
"Yeah,he was singing to his son who is basically a mini him and then after the meeting I was helping him clean up and then he kissed me and..."
"I called." Kurt nodded and Rachel took his hand and started to speak with an uneasy feeling filling the air.
"Kurt isnt he in a relationship?"
"No,he broke up with him."
"Just be careful Kurt."
"Im okay Rachel, you can let go of the momma bear act Melodys not in the room."
"I just dont want you to get hurt.."
"I wont Rach." Rachel just nodded and left the apartment leaving Kurt alone on the couch.
■■■ When Blaine got home he started to make a list of all the things he needed to do for the week.
1.Change the locks
2.Order new music
3.Call Kurt
4.Buy Gage new shoes
5.Pack Sebastians things
Blaine was wrapped up in his list when he heard a knock on the door.He slowly got up and only slightly opened the door.
In front of him stood a large man in a flannel shirt and dirty jeans holding a passed out Sebastian in his arms.
"Hey,Im Dave um Sebastian told me to come here if anything happened." Blaine looked shocked and conflicted but ultimately ushered Dave in with a motion of his hand.
"We were at a carnival and he had one too many to drink and passed out on the Ferris Wheel."
"He loves to drink." Blaine said quietly reflecting on the fact that Sebastian refused to go to the carnival with his just a few days ago.
"So how do you know Seb?" Blaine asked recognizing the isolated silence.
"Hes my fiance." Blaine hid the complete disbelief and utter hurt with a small smile.
"How long have you been together?”
"We have known each other for awhile but eight years ago we started something casual and then it became something more." Blaine let his smile fall when he heard eight years, that was right after they had decided to have Gage.
"Wow..Thats great.He can stay here tonight, but you need to get him in the morning."
“I thought he lived here?”
“Not anymore.” Blaine choked out trying not to break down.
“Oh,does he have anything here?”
“Yeah, he just needs to pack everything.”
“If you want I could help his stuff if you want.” Before Blaine could respond to Dave's question Sebastian started to stir on the couch.
“Hey babe, you okay?” Dave asked bending down to Sebastians place on the couch.He smiled and leaned in to kiss Dave before Blaine cleared his throat.
“Dave? Since he's awake do you want to take him?” When Sebastian heard Blaine's voice he looked up mouth open wider than Blaine had ever seen it a small smile spread across his face.
“Oh, yeah,I'll take him home.” Sebastian stood up and looked baffled at Blaine.
“Goodnight Dave," Blaine said opening the door. "Sebastian you can come get your things tomorrow." And with those words Blaine shut the door and slid down a nearby wall. The only thing he could do was sob.
■■■ "Ill be back with your food." Kurt said blissfully turning around,running back into the kitchen.He had been working all day and only had two more hours left in his day before he needed to get to his class.
"Hummel!" Toby called from the front of the restaurant.Kurt looked at Toby in question until he saw Blaine standing there with his son in tow."They want a table for two!"
Kurt lead them to the best spot in his section,watching Blaines careful smile and the fond look in his eyes.
"Hi Kurt." Blaine said nervously running his fingers through his barely gelled hair.Kurt just smiled at him sincerely noticing the way he was staring.
"Hey, Im glad you came."
"Me too.Um,youve met Gage."
"Of course I remember the mini me." Blaine and Gage smiled brightly at Kurts comment.
"As much as I would love to stay and talk,I need to grab your drink orders."
Blaine just nodded and asked for a coke and a lemonade for Gage.
"Ill be right back."
After they had ordered and eaten Kurt came back by their table and refilled their drinks.
"Kurt,I was just going to text you, since Im here." Blaine started shyly his honey eyes especially striking.
"Are you free Friday night?"
"Yeah,I have to work until 5 but I can meet you at the music store at 7."
"Perfect." Blaine said a hopeful smile plastered on his cheeks.
When Gage thought Kurt was out of earshot he turned towards his father with bright eyes. "Papa? Do you like him?"
Blaine just smiled and glanced over at Kurt. "I really do. I like him alot."
Kurt turned around and went to take the drink orders of the next table readily anticipating his date.
