They got a cat.
A cat.
Normally Blaine wouldn't mind getting a pet; it was the only thing they needed with their child on the way to complete their little family.
Only, they got a cat.
Blaine had been allergic to cats since he was a kid, but the topic hadn't come up between them and they had never been in a situation before where knowing about Blaine's allergy became absolutely vital.
So it just slipped his mind.
He didn't think anything of it until Kurt came home one day, a huge grin on his face and a large carry case under his arm.
"What in the world have you got there? Is this some new fashion accessory you're trying out? Because it doesn't work, sweetie."
But Kurt didn't need to answer his question because Blaine's nose began to run. He could feel the itch creeping into his nostrils and the pressure building behind his sinuses.
Oh.
He got a cat.
He snuck into the bathroom and took some medicine to keep his allergies at bay and rejoined Kurt in the living room where he was on the floor with the animal, rolling around with it. He politely declined Kurt's offer to join him-he may have taken medicine but he still had to be careful.
Oh Jesus; they got a cat.
When the evening came, the two of them decided to sit down together to watch a movie. Since it was Blaine's choice, they ended up with some Disney movie in the player, and when half way through the movie their kitten decided that he was going to nestle into Blaine's lap, his eyes began to water.
Kurt looked over at him.
"Are you crying?"
"No?"
"Are you sure? Because it looks like it to me."
He laughed but frowned when Blaine had to use his sleeve to wipe his nose.
"And you're definitely not crying?"
"I'm not crying. If I was crying though, it would be completely justified because Disney has a way of pulling at those heartstrings."
He was about to reply when the kitten moved in Blaine's lap and his husband broke out into three short sneezes.
He smiled mischievously.
"You're allergic to cats."
They got rid of the cat.
