“Dads?”

“Yes, honey?” Kurt looked over at his daughter over the rim of his glasses.

“How did you two meet?”

Blaine had been drinking at the moment when he began to cough at his daughter’s question. Kurt rolled his eyes and reached over to pat his husband on the back. “Have we never told you?”

“Well, I know you guys met at high school and stuff but I never really got the full story. Plus, Aunt Rachel has told me many a time about the videos of your glee performances which I know you still have somewhere” she said, smiling sweetly but her eyes had a hint of wickedness.

“Kurt! You told me you had got rid of those!” Blaine exclaimed.

“I couldn’t, I’m sorry!” Kurt said, holding his hands up in mock surrender.

Blaine glanced at Elizabeth briefly, holding back a laugh at the hopeful expression she was wearing.  “Fine, you want the full story then Lizzie?”

Elizabeth nodded, slightly taken-aback that her parents were actually agreeing.

“Right, this may take a while. Lizzie, go get blankets, Blaine you get food and I will get the videos. Operation Tell-Lizzie-About-Our-Teenage-Selves is a go” Kurt said, grinning.

10 minutes later, the three were sat on the couch; Lizzie was waiting on her father’s words.

“So, to start with, you know I didn’t have a great time at high school right?” Kurt started to speak, Lizzie nodded sadly.

“So, Mr Schue had set us the task of the guys performing a song in Glee which was originally sung by girls and the girl’s one by guys. You get my drift. I had a fabulous idea but the guys including your uncle Finn were, well, rather rude to be honest, told me to go and spy on the Dalton Academy Warblers, a rival Glee club. And I was rather sick of McKinley as well so I went. I was met with a rather stunning school, everything was preppy and so organised, just how I like it. Then people started running towards somewhere so I caught the attention of the nearest guy. And well. He was rather hot. Maybe even the most beautiful man I had ever seen and he still is. Look. He’s over there” Kurt chuckled, poking Blaine in the ribs.

Blaine began to blush at Kurt’s words and he leant over to kiss him on the cheek, before he let Kurt continue. “So, we introduced each other and then somebody” – here, he shot Blaine a look- “said he knew of a shortcut, grabbed my hand and we ran romantically through the corridors”

Elizabeth began to giggle, “It sounds very cliché”

“Looking back it was, at the time I was thinking ‘Hot Guy is Holding My Hand, Don’t Embarrass Yourself Kurt’ but I enjoyed it” Kurt smiled at the memory.

“And now we come to our first video. One of the other boys filmed it” Blaine said, pressing play on the remote control. The TV screen was suddenly alive with Blaine at the front of the Warblers and singing Teenage Dream at the top of his voice. Lizzie smiled throughout the entire song.

‘Let you put your hands on me, in my skin tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight” sang younger Blaine.

“Oh my god, you were both smitten” Elizabeth said, leaning her head back on the couch, smiling smugly at her fathers.

“Maybe a little” Blaine said, running a hand through his hair, chuckling.

“Then we have the kiss incident” Kurt said quietly. Blaine moved down the couch to put an arm around his husband offering support. Kurt smiled gratefully.

“So you know David Karofsky? He had a rather difficult time in high school with coming out and all. In fact, to start with, he made my life a living hell. He pushed me, he called me names and one day when I stood up to him, he kissed me” Kurt breathed out softly.

“Really?” Elizabeth said shocked. “But you and David are friends now?”

“Sure, we are friends now but to start with, not so much” Kurt said. “Anyway, your father came with me to try and help him come out and everything but David wasn’t having any of it. I, however, was pretty certain I had fallen hard for this cute, little warbler” Kurt said, ruffling Blaine’s hair slightly.

Blaine took over the conversation here. “So once Granddad and Grandma got married, Kurt moved to Dalton and on Christmas, we sang Baby It’s Cold Outside” Kurt looked suddenly alarmed.

“We don’t have a video of that right?” he asked warily.

“No, no” Blaine answered straight away. Lizzie looked slightly disappointed. “What happened in said song?”

“Flirting” Blaine and Kurt both answered at the same time before bursting out laughing.

“And just when I thought your father was starting to like me, we have the month of Blaine was an idiot” Kurt said, poking Blaine in the shoulder.

“Hey!” Blaine said pointedly.

“Dad, what did you do?” Elizabeth said, sitting up with the promise of gossip hovering in the conversation.

“Well, on Valentine’s Day, because I didn’t think your father was showing any interest in me whatsoever, I kinda sorta shut down the Ohio Gap and sang to the junior manager” Blaine said really quickly.

“Really?” Elizabeth said, laughing.  Blaine nodded, his cheeks flushing red in embarrassment. “Video?” she asked hopefully.

Blaine shook his head. “I deleted it. The embarrassment was too much” he shuddered.

“So what is the next video you have?” she said.

“Candles” Blaine said quickly.

“Hey, are we just going to look over the fact that you got drunk and made out with Rachel? Or that you told Burt to give me a sex talk?” Kurt said, enjoying how much pain this was bringing his husband. Blaine turned the colour of a tomato.

“You  ...you… made out with Rachel, My Aunt Rachel. And you told Granddad to give him the…I don’t want to know” Elizabeth said, her face twisting as if she was picturing something she really didn’t want to see.

Kurt began to laugh almost uncontrollably. “Kurt, shush” Blaine scolded playfully, trying to keep back a grin.

Kurt winked at Blaine before he pressed play on the TV remote again. “Kurt, no, you really want her to see this?” Blaine cried as the opening notes of Animal came blasting through the stereo. Kurt internally cringed at his facial expressions.

Elizabeth watched the entire song, her hand covering her mouth at certain points, even shaking her head in disbelief.

“Promise me, I never have to watch that again. So, Candles?” Elizabeth said, trying to move on.

“It’s soppy. I warn you now. This was the first song we sang together as a couple” Blaine said.

As the song played, Elizabeth stared at her parents in awe. Her eyes began to shine with happiness

She was wiping away a tear as the closing line was sang. “That was beautiful. I mean, really beautiful” she said, smiling.

“Thank you sweetie” Kurt replied, squeezing his daughter’s hand.

“So what happened next in the Klaine universe?”

“Klaine? Really?” Blaine said, shaking his head.

“Well I moved back to McKinley and your father sang this” Kurt said, gesturing to the TV.

Elizabeth sighed at how cute the whole Somewhere Only We Know scene was. She teared up again, especially witnessing Blaine and Kurt embracing at the end. “What did you say to him, Dad?” she said, leaning her head on Kurt’s shoulder.

“I told him, I’m never saying goodbye to him” Kurt exhaled happily, planting a kiss on top of his daughter’s head. Blaine smiled over at them from his position on the couch.

“We had Prom. You know what happened then Lizzie?”

“Yeah, it’s okay, I’d rather not see it anyway. Even if you did both get the dance you wanted in the end” she reached up to kiss Kurt on the cheek in comfort.

“Ooh, it’s not unusual!” Blaine said excitedly, dancing along on his seat to the music as it came on. Kurt rolled his eyes at how childish his husband was acting but he secretly loved it.

Elizabeth laughed when Kurt caught the sunglasses and the smile became permanent for the rest of the song.

The video kept playing on and the shot suddenly became one of Blaine and Rachel in West Side Story. Kurt and Blaine’s eyes met and widened a lot.

Kurt quickly skipped to the next song. “You never talk about West Side Story. What happened?” Lizzie asked, questioning tones in his voice.

“Um, something major, honey, it doesn’t matter” Kurt said, attempting to change subject but Lizzie was persistent.

“Come on, tell me, I’m 14 for god’s sake, I’m a big girl, did you guys split up or something?”

“Far from it Lizzie, far from it” Blaine said, his voice becoming sterner but yet more distant at the same time. Elizabeth suddenly realised and said “Oh, I don’t need to hear about it”

“That’s what I was thinking” Kurt said, stifling a laugh.

“So what’s next?”

“Well, we got through the year, your father was almost blinded but you know about that, your Uncle Cooper came to town, we had some , er, problems and this is the next video we have” Kurt said, smiling a little.

“Coming home used to feel real good” sang teenage Kurt. Elizabeth leant forward in wonder at the TV, wincing slightly when the gold pants were revealed.

Once the song was done, she said “Please don’t take this the wrong way, but Dad, you were hot” giggling as she said it.

It was reaching half 10 by this time and Elizabeth was getting tired. She lay with her head on Kurt’s lap and her feet draped over Blaine. The last video they had was Paradise by The Dashboard Light and she smiled happily at her father’s little skit in the middle. “You all look so happy” she whispered by the closing notes.

“You know, I don’t say this very often but you two are seriously the most talented people I could ever wish to know. Love you” she said softly. She stood up and hugged both her father’s goodnight.

“She’s a good girl isn’t she?” Blaine said, smiling.

“She is. I feel nostalgic now though. Look how young we were Blaine” Kurt said, amusement in his voice.

“We’re young at heart” Blaine leaned forward to kiss Kurt softly, his lips moving slowly against Kurt’s.

“I’m proud of us, you know?” Kurt said, pulling back slightly. “We’ve been through so much. And I just love you. Always will” Blaine responded with a smile and another kiss. “Love you too” he murmured against the side of Kurt’s neck.
