"You're my best friend, you know that right?" Blaine said, looking down at his shoes as he kicked the dust under his feet. The old swing set creaked as Kurt and Blaine lazily swayed back and forth.

"I know" Kurt frowned. He knew they were best friends so why did Blaine feel the need to tell him?

"It's just, after the summer, we're going into middle school. You've heard all the rumours about middle school, Kurt. What if we make new friends and, I don't know, fall out or something?" Blaine asked, looking down at the floor.

"That's not going to happen. You're my best friend! No one can come between us. We're inseparable" Kurt paused, thinking of something funny to say. "We're like, Aladdin and Abu"

"I take I'm Abu?" Blaine smiled sheepishly.

"Of course"

Two hours later left Blaine dancing around his room, jumping up and down on his bed and playing air guitar as music blared from his speakers. Cooper was supposed to be looking after him whilst their parents were having a date night. Cooper had bribed him twenty dollars to stay at home whilst he went out to meet his girlfriend. Of course, he wasn't supposed to let anyone know Cooper had gone out. Blaine was having the time of his life and he felt rich, what ten year old wouldn't with twenty dollars.

"WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR BROTHER?" Blaine jumped, fell off the bed and landed with a thump. With the volume of his music, Blaine hadn't heard his dad come in and wasn't expecting him to shout. His heart racing, Blaine pushed himself off the floor.

"He went out" Blaine muttered, turning off his music.

"What do you mean he went out?" Harry shouted.

"He went-" Blaine paused, not wanting to snitch on his brother. "To the shop. I really needed a drink"

"Well, you just wait until he gets home!" Harry roared, storming out of the room. But his anger didn't phase Blaine, who was used to his father's odd moods.

Guess he didn't have a good night, Blaine thought.

"So where is he really?" Regina asked, walking into Blaine's bedroom as he flopped down on his bed. Regina looked exhausted as if her night out was worse than if she'd stayed at home. Blaine hesitated.

"Come on, tell me. I won't tell your dad" Regina whispered with a smile, bumping Blaine's shoulder.

"He went to see his girlfriend" Blaine caved.

"Okay. I'll message him" Regina rolled her eyes. She pushed Blaine's curls out of his eyes before kissing his forehead. As she left Blaine's bedroom, she was in the middle of pulling her phone out of her bag.

"Here you go, Blaine" Cooper said, faking a smile, and passing him a can of soda.

"So you really did go to the shop?" Harry asked his eldest son.

"Of course, where else would I go?" Cooper said respectfully. He inclined his head towards Blaine and smiled. Blaine smirked and sipped his drink.

"I've got work to do" Harry grunted, walking out of the living room and up the stairs to his bed room.

"Don't you ever leave Blaine on his own!" Regina half scolded him.

"He can look after himself for half an hour, mom. He's almost eleven" Cooper said.

"Don't argue with me" She muttered, her eyes closing as her head leaned back on the sofa.

"I think my parents are having problems" Blaine said, kicking dirt with the toes of his shoes. His parents had been arguing that morning about who used too much milk in their coffee. It was pathetic, really.

"Why'd you think that?" Kurt asked.

"They argue about the stupidest things. And they argue all the time!"

"I'm sure they're fine. You're probably just thinking it's worse than it is. My parents used to argue all the time"

"I don't know, maybe" Blaine said, wanting to believe Kurt.

"So what are doing this summer?" Blaine asked after an uncomfortable silence.

"Not much. My dad has a lot of work at the garage" Kurt shrugged. "What about you?"

"Hanging out with you" Blaine smirked, bumping his shoulder with Kurt's. Kurt laughed.

"What time do you have to be back?" Kurt asked. Blaine checked his watch.

"I have an hour. Then I'm going to this fancy restaurant with my grandparents" Blaine shrugged.

"Rachel's coming to mine tonight. It's a shame you can't come round" Kurt said.

"Yeah, I know. But we have the whole of summer to look forward to" The two boys arrived at the park and sat down on the swings. They always came here, to the park, when they had nothing to do. It wasn't far to walk and so their parents allowed them to go by themselves.

It felt like freedom to an eleven year old and they would always try and go to the park as much as possible. Other than their tree house, it was like their own little place because not many people knew it was even there.

Author's Notes:

So this was a really boring chapter. It was also really short but future chapter's will be a whole lot longer because of the story line (No spoilers), so you can look forward to that. I was kind of short on ideas so I apologize for this chapter. But anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing, I really appreciate it :)

Also, I'm going to try and update every Sunday night.
