It happened when they were sitting on the Hummel-Hudson's loveseat in living room, cuddling. They were watching some house designing show while winding down after a long day at school. The man on the television was describing how they were doing to design the back yard, when he started to talk about tree houses. Blaine perked up, from where he wasn't paying much attention to the telly and was really paying attention to Kurt's exposed shoulder, at the mention of tree houses. He had wanted one when he was little and his dad always told him that they would build one, but they never got around to it. Of course, they never got 'around' to really nothing after he came out to the world and his father disowned him and acted like he didn't know who he was anymore.
Kurt noticed Blaine's attention turn to the television in excitement. Yes, he felt Blaine's stare the whole time they were sitting there, but the hell with complaining. It's not bad to be looked at by your love, is it? Kurt wondered if he should ask if Blaine had ever had a tree house when he was little, but he didn't want to bring up any bad memories for him.
Commercial after commercial came on until Finn and Rachel busted in the door, lip-locked. Finn gently laid Rachel down on the couch right beside where Blaine and Kurt were seated. A minute later of being completely shocked and staring at the couple, Blaine and Kurt shared a look, a disgusted look as Finn was slowly making his way up the bottom of Rachel's red dress with his hand.
Blaine cleared his throat when Finn obviously found what he was looking for, as Rachel moaned deep and Finn smirked down at her. Rachel proceeded to shriek and push Finn to the other side of the couch as she realized there were others in the room. Finn groaned as his head hit the side of the couch and glared over at Kurt and Blaine sitting on the loveseat.
"You guys are such cockblocks!" Finn exclaimed and leaned his head in his hands. Kurt and Blaine giggled as Rachel's face went red.
Kurt stood and walked to the stairs. "Well I think I'm just going to walk away from this awkward situation now…. Care to join me Blaine?" He sent Blaine a wink, then proceeded to make his way up the stairs, hips swaying all the way.
Blaine scampered across the room, past awkward Finn and red-faced, silent Rachel and up the stairs towards Kurt's room.

A few days later, Kurt was lying against Blaine's chest and they were sitting in the backyard staring up at the cloudy sky. Well Kurt was looking up at the sky; Blaine was staring at the oak tree in the neighbor's yard. He couldn't get the idea of a tree house out of his mind.
"Blaine? Blaine did you hear me?" Kurt lifted his head up to look at Blaine, but Blaine wasn't paying attention to him. He was staring at another tree. Kurt knew exactly what was going on. Ever since that designing show with the tree house, Blaine constantly stared at trees. Whether they were outside or in the car, Blaine's attention was always on them.
"You know, we can get one if you want… When we get our house, we can get a tree in the back." Kurt whispered into Blaine's chest, but he wasn't sure if Blaine heard him, as the wind was blowing faster and Blaine didn't answer.
Kurt felt Blaine's chest shaking and he looked up, startled at what he saw. Blaine was crying silently, trying to hide that he was, from Kurt. Kurt jumped up, straddled Blaine's waist, and grabbed his tear streak face in his hands. "Baby. What's wrong?"
Blaine looked up at Kurt and spoke in a rough voice. "I was just picturing our lives together Kurt. And it was beautiful." Blaine took one of Kurt's hands and pressed a kiss to his palm. "I pictured our little boy protecting our little girl and having a little puppy and going to our son's football games and our daughter playing dress up and… and… and…" Blaine got choked up and the tears started streaming faster down Blaine's perfect cheeks.
"And a tree house?" Kurt whispered against Blaine's lips.
"And a tree house." Blaine agreed with a teary smile.
