When he got back to the privacy of his apartment, Kurt called Blaine. “Hey,” Blaine said softly. “I miss you.”
“Already?” Kurt asked playfully.
“Damian wants you to come spend the afternoon.”
Kurt smiled. “Oh, Damian does, huh?”
“Mmhmm. And since you'll be here anyway, I think you should pack an overnight bag because I'd really like a repeat of last night.”
Kurt blushed, though Blaine couldn't see it. “I suppose that could be arranged.”
“Good. Lunch is at noon if you feel like joining us.”
“I'll be there.”
Blaine smiled. “Great. Damian wants to talk to you.” Blaine handed the phone to Damian and Kurt could hear Blaine tell his son, “Just for a minute. He'll be here for lunch and you can talk more then.”
“Kurt! Hi,” Damian squealed.
Kurt grinned. “Hi, buddy. How are you?”
“Good. I want you to come play.”
“You mean you're not tired of me already?” Kurt chuckled.
Damian giggled. “No, silly. I love you. You don't get tired of people you love.”
Kurt could hear Blaine laugh in the background. “I have to get ready so I can come over in a little bit. Can I talk to your daddy again, please?”
“Okay. Bye, Kurt.”
“Bye, buddy.” When Blaine got back on the phone, Kurt said, “I'm going to tell you the same thing I told your son. I have to get ready before I come over. That means I have to hang up now.”
He could hear the pout in Blaine's voice when he said, “I guess that's okay. I'll see you soon.”
“Yeah. See you soon.” Kurt couldn't stop the smile on his face when he hung up. He went to pack a bag and sat on his bed with a content sigh. When he got to Blaine's house, he left his bag in the car while he walked up to the house and rang the doorbell. Blaine opened the door and asked why he didn't use his key. “It didn't feel right in this situation.”
“What situation would that be?”
Kurt smiled. “First date?”
Damian came running and wrapped himself around Kurt's legs and interrupting the adults. “You're here!”
“I am,” Kurt smiled. As they went inside, Kurt asked, “What do you want to do today?”
“Park!” Damian said excitedly.
Blaine said, “We should have a picnic. Go get some toys to take with you while Kurt helps me pack something for lunch.”
While Damian was picking out toys, Blaine pulled Kurt close and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “We should talk about this later,” Kurt said. Blaine nodded with a smile.
They ate their picnic lunch and played for a couple hours before heading back to the house. Damian was yawning widely by the time they got back, so Blaine laid him down for a nap. He was out instantly.
Blaine sat beside Kurt on the couch and pulled Kurt onto his lap. “Best. First date. Ever,” he said quietly, capturing Kurt's lips in a sweet kiss.
Kurt pulled away. “Can we talk while he's sleeping?” Blaine nodded. “Last night was,” Kurt sighed happily. “Amazing. It was everything I'd ever imagined.”
Blaine raised an eyebrow and Kurt blushed. “That was...oh. I didn't...You probably think...” Blaine's thoughts were racing.
“Hey. Don't. I just told you it was great. That's not what I wanted to talk about. I want to know where we go from here.”
“What do you mean?” Blaine asked softly.
Kurt leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Blaine's lips. “I've never really done this before. I've had a couple boyfriends, but we only dated for a few weeks or months. It was never anything serious. I just kind of get the feeling that's not what you're looking for.”
Blaine shrugged. “If that's what you want, I guess we could try to...”
Shaking his head, Kurt said, “This isn't about what I want right now. I want to know what you want.”
“Honestly?” Kurt nodded. “I want it all. I want a lover, a spouse, another parent for Damian. I know you're young and I know that you're probably not ready for any of that and that's okay. I can wait. Or if that's not what you want at all, we can have fun in the meantime.”
Kurt smiled. “My turn?” Blaine nodded. “I would love to be all of that. I've always wanted to get married and have a family and I just feel so much when I'm with you. I think I might want all of it with you. Not right now, obviously. But someday.”
“Yeah?” Blaine asked softly.
“Yeah,” Kurt whispered. After a few minutes, Kurt asked, “So, how many, uh, significant others have you had?”
Blaine chuckled. “This is going to sound like a lot to you. Let's see. I had a boyfriend in high school for a couple weeks. Then I dated a couple of girls. At the same time. No I wasn't cheating and yes they were both okay with it. In college I didn't have anybody steady. I would go on a couple of dates and decide that wasn't who I wanted. I think my first real relationship out of college lasted almost a year before I caught him cheating. A couple of girlfriends after that and then Shelly and I were hanging out more and I started having feelings for her, so we got together, got married, had Damian, got divorced. Since then, um, only one serious boyfriend and a girlfriend that lasted about a month.”
“And now me.”
Blaine smiled. “And now you.”
“Can I ask what happened with the ones since the divorce?”
“Lara was fairly soon after the divorce was final. I made the mistake of not telling her I had a son. We went on a few dates while my mom or my brother would watch Damian. One night she came over unannounced and Damian was sick so I was carrying him around, trying to get him to stop crying and I didn't check to see who was at the door. She tried, but it was obvious she didn't like kids. So I called it off.”
Kurt frowned. “And what about the boyfriend?”
Blaine smiled fondly. “I ran into him at Damian's daycare. Literally. He was there to pick up his niece and I was getting Damian. Damian took off while I was trying to put his coat on him and as I tried to catch him, I didn't see Charlie coming in the door.” He paused, lost in the memory for a moment. His smile faded and he continued. “We lasted about six months. The breakup was anything but amicable. It really affected both Damian and me so I haven't dated anyone since.”
Kurt gave a sympathetic smile and said, “I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.”
“No, it's okay. You couldn't have known.” He looked Kurt in the eye. “I'm hoping to break the pattern.”
With a smile, Kurt said, “I hope you do, too.”
