A/N: Okay, two OCs in here that just appeared out of nowhere.
What is Love?
There is not much being said that day for a long while, that is until Sara comes along.
Kurt and Blaine go shopping, for food, around nine, Finn has once again almost emptied all supplies - it being the middle of the week, it is wonderfully tranquil in the whole store.
They find themselves walking into empty aisle upon empty aisle, and at some point start holding hands. Neither could tell you, if asked, who had reached his hand out first.
By the time they reach the sweets aisle, their last stop before heading to the checkout, and Blaine reaches for a pack of licorice Kurt is utterly blissed out by experiencing this to so many people usual act of going food shopping with their boyfriend or girlfriend, holding hands. He feels that surge of happiness, no, hopefulness, for a life this ordinary – and never ordinary at all, with Blaine in it.
As Blaine turns back to him, drops the sweets into the shopping cart, Kurt surges forward, and Blaine stumbles back a little, finding hold only against the shelves behind him as Kurt captures Blaine's mouth in an urgent kiss.
Kurt pulls back a moment later, blushing deeply and suddenly finding an unprecedented interest in Blaine's shoes.
"Hey," Blaine coos softly as he gently cups Kurt's cheeks with both his hands, waits for Kurt to look back up at him. Kurt doesn't for a good two minutes, just focusing on evening out his breathing.
Blaine waits patiently.
"Sorry," Kurt mumbles.
"Baby, no no no. You know how much I love kissing you. I'm just wondering where this came from."
"I just love you so much. I love us, like this, just doing everyday stuff. Because … because it feels so great, even though it is just everyday stuff. Because you are here. I'm going to miss this every day until you are with me in New York," Kurt surprisingly shyly brings out.
Blaine bites his lower lip as he watches Kurt looking up at him from under his lashes, chin still drawn to his chest.
"I love it too. I love you," and with that Blaine leans down and places a chaste, soft kiss to Kurt's lips.
He is rewarded with a smile just as soft from Kurt.
In the next moment they hear an, "Eww, juck."
As they look to where the high-pitched sound just came from next to them, Blaine having instinctively wrapped Kurt into his arms protectively, they find a man in his forties with a frown on his face and a little girl standing there, the girl now rummaging through one of the candy displays no longer paying any attention to the two boys.
Then the about eight year old girl mumbles something under her breath no one around her can make out.
"Sara Anne Waters, what did you just say?"
The little girls lets out a big huff then turns to the man and says, full of confidence and conviction, "Eww, juck. I want candy. Candy tastes much better than boys."
The man briefly glances between his daughter and Kurt and Blaine, still standing almost frozen, then a smile breaks out on his face, "You have a lot of experience kissing boys then, do you?"
"Eww, Dad! No. That's jucky," she says, her little nose scrunching up and her mouth twisting as if she had just bitten into something really sour.
"Really? Why don't we then ask someone about it who has a bit more experience to go on?" The man asks, smiling at his daughter then turning to Kurt and Blaine as Sara just rolls her eyes and shrugs. "I am so sorry to bother you, but, …," he says gesticulating towards his daughter.
"No, it's … it's fine," Kurt replies still a little taken aback by the man's accepting reaction, Kurt thinks he will never get used to that here in Ohio.
"Sara? You want to ask …."
"Kurt and Blaine," Blaine helpfully supplies with a smile.
The man nods his thanks at him. "You want to ask Kurt and Blaine something, Sara?"
Sara stands there frowning for a moment longer while she keeps looking between her dad and the boys in front of her, now holding hands again. Then she singles out Blaine and with her frown turning really serious asks, "Why do you like kissing him?" She points to Kurt with the last word, but her eyes stay trailed on Blaine.
"I love him."
Sara's little face drops into one of recognition, "Oh."
"And I love him too," Kurt adds hoping to be helpful.
"Okay, like you love mom, Dad," she says with another smile after Kurt sees a quick frown, barely noticeable, crossing her face.
With that Sara turns back to the candy grabs the biggest bag she can find a moment later, filled with colorful drops, wrapped in clear paper. Then she turns and walks back to their shopping cart a few feet away.
The man smiles at them once more, "Thank you. I've tried talking to her about it before, but she never believes me, I think, when I tell her I have kissed other men too in my life, and that I loved them. I guess seeing me with her mom has her thinking it just has always been this way and I am just making it up. It is so good to see you two being open like this about who you love. It can't be easy, in Ohio."
"Thank you for ... ," Blaine smiles at the man, grateful for the openness but unsure what to say.
The man just smiles at them, "No worries."
"Daaaad," Sara suddenly reappears next to her father. "What if I want to kiss girls? They taste like candy, don't they?"
The man taken by surprise this time clearly blushes lightly as he turns back to Kurt and Blaine, "You don't happen to have friends who could have a chat with my daughter about that?"
"As a matter of fact …," Kurt begins, already thinking of how much fun it would be to see Brittany and Santana interact with Sara.
