Kurt sighs, staring down onto the shopping list he's holding, and turns into another aisle.
He doesn't understand why he was the one that was chosen to go shopping for the New Directions' graduation party. Why couldn't it be Emma, with the super OCD, or the whole of the group?
He shakes his head, dropping his hand to grasp the handle of the shopping crate, picking it up off the floor, and drops a couple of packages of paper plates into it when he passes by, and moves out of the aisle to find the last thing on the list.
"No, no, no, Audrey, sweetie, shh." A familiar voice coos, distracting him from his thoughts, and he's suddenly aware of the loud sound of a young girl crying.
"Daddy, I wanna go! I wanna go!" The girl sobs.
The crying is coming from the aisle he's about to enter, to get the last few things on the list, so he peeks around the corner. There he sees a little girl with long, dark red hair, looking about the age of three, crying her little eyes out. A teenaged boy is kneeling in front of her and cradling her face, trying to calm her.
"Audrey, it's too late to go to the playground." The boy says. "We can go tomorrow."
"But I wanna go now!" The girl cries.
The guy is able to gently quiet her as Kurt blinks, stepping into the aisle cautiously. The poor girl is hyperventilating now, trying to take deep breaths, and the guy asks her if she wants to go for ice cream instead. She nods her head, sniffling, and he wipes her wet cheeks with his sleeves before gathering her into his arms and standing up.
Then he turns around, and suddenly Kurt is face-to-face with Sebastian Smythe.
They both freeze, and Kurt blinks owlishly.
Sebastian looks surprised and even a bit worried for a moment before he collects himself and shifts the girl in his arms, looking Kurt over a bit. His jaw clenches defensively and he opens his mouth. "Hey." He greets half-heartedly.
"Hi." Kurt replies warily, eyebrows drawing together.
They stand there in an awkward silence for a moment, but then Sebastian speaks again.
"Do you have something to say that's actually worth my time or are you going to just stare at me like that?" He asks, and Kurt narrows his eyes. He's about to say something snappy in return, but the girl actually beats him to it.
"Daddy, it's not nice to talk to people like that." She reprimands, now fully recovered from her tantrum, hands placed on her hips.
Kurt's not paying attention to that, though, because his stomach drops after 'Daddy.'
Oh. Kurt thinks stupidly.
Sebastian, however, doesn't seem fazed in the slightest. He merely rolls his eyes and smiles fondly at her. "You're right." He turns to Kurt. "My apologies. I would instead like to say that you should probably shut your mouth before something decides to live in there."
Kurt snaps his mouth shut and glares.
So does the girl.
Sebastian raises his hands in defense. "What?" He asks the girl. "I was warning him of something. That's nice."
"I'm telling Mommy." The girl says, kicking her legs as a sign that she wants to be put down.
"Oh, no you're not." Sebastian laughs, setting her down.
The girl then walks right to Kurt and beams up at him. "Hi! I'm Audrey!" She says happily, raising her hand for Kurt to shake.
"Hello, Audrey." Kurt says after a moment, smiling a little. "What manners you have."
"Mommy says I get them from her." Audrey says proudly. "Daddy says that Mommy's a smart a–"
"OK!" Sebastian's hand covers her mouth, and Kurt actually laughs a little. "That's enough of that." He pats her head and takes her hand. "We should probably get going if we want that ice cream." He says, and Audrey lights up at the mention of the frozen treat, nodding frantically.
Kurt nods a bit as they walk by him, and smiles when Audrey turns back, calling. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Kurt!"
Kurt waves back, and as Sebastian turns the corner, he pauses to nod at Kurt, and Kurt raises his hand again to waggle his fingers in a short goodbye.
As Kurt finishes his shopping and leaves, he thinks about the encounter. He had expected a lot of things about Sebastian, but to be a father? Not at all.
He shakes his head as if it would clear his mind, and drives out of the parking lot, all thoughts of Sebastian and the little red-headed girl lost.
