Blaine is a good dad. Kurt is a great dad, a phenomenal dad, but Kurt learned from the best. Blaine is good at talking to his kids and reading emotions and knowing when to back off. As the kids became teenagers things were a little tougher, but Blaine still has decent grip on it.

He comes down for breakfast one day and James is already at the table.

“You have got to be the most sullen person ever to eat a bowl of Lucky Charms,” Blaine says as he puts some coffee on to brew. He picks through the box on the table and says “Purple horseshoe for your thoughts?”

James sighs and smirks up his father.

“I’m just really tired of some of my friends. They just can’t stop themselves from saying really dumb... crap.”

This is what Blaine has always feared. The day that one of his kids would come home and tell him that he was being bullied for having two dads. Blaine gulped audibly. He should go get Kurt, they should deal with this as a united front, but before he can say anything, James continues.

“I like this girl and they told her. But like, I wanted to tell her. I was just waiting until I was ready.”

“Oh! Oh.” Blaine knows this is serious stuff for a freshman in high school, but he was really prepared for the worst. “That’s not so bad. You can fix that! Just … take a chance.”

This is a very relieving turn of events.
