All I Want For Christmas Is You

Blaine looked at the piano. He smiled as Rose played out a song. As she ended, she looked up at Blaine. He grinned. "That was really good."

Rose blushed and looked down.

Blaine bit his lip a bit. He quickly rushed out, "Do you sing?"

Rose looked up and shrugged, "I can, I guess."

"Want to sing a song with me, really quick."

Rose shrugged again. Blaine started playing the tune on the piano, turning to the song in the book of songs he had. "I'm wishing on a star and trying to believe that even though it's far, he'll find me Christmas eve. I guess that Santa's busy, 'cause he's never come around. I think of him when Christmas comes to town."

Rose looked at the music and twiddled with her thumbs a bit. "The best time of the year, when everyone comes home, with all this Christmas cheer it's hard to be alone. Putting up the Christmas tree with friends who come around. It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town."

Blaine smiled. Her voice was very light and bubbly. High and childish, of course. She continued, "Presents for the children wrapped in red and green."

"All the things I've heard about but never really seen.."

"Blaine?"

Blaine looked up at who he ran into and blinked. The man was familiar and it shocked him seeing him here. "You are Blaine, right?"

Blaine nodded.

The man chuckled. "Sorry. You probably don't even remember me."

Blaine shook his head, "Uh. No. I remember you. Adam, right? Adam Crawford?"

Adam grinned and nodded. "Yeah. Nice seeing you Blaine. How are things?"

Blaine shrugged, "Could be better."

Adam placed the small, brown bag that held some baked good in his other hand. "Ah. I heard what happened with you and Kurt years ago. I'm sorry, mate."

"It's fine."

Adam grinned and started to leave before throwing a, "You kind of deserved it though." Over his shoulder.

Blaine froze. He didn't feel anger. He didn't feel sorrow. He knew that what Adam said was true. Blaine made a bad choice. A few bad choices. And he did kind of deserve it. But he wanted to prove that he was sorry. That it was just an accident. Blaine shoved his hands in his pocket and approached the counter at the bakery.

Blaine stopped playing the piano as the song ended and smiled at Rose. "You have a very beautiful voice."

Rose blushed, "My daddy taught me how to sing."

"Oh really?"

The little girl nodded. "He used to sing me to sleep. And we would always sing on the holidays. He doesn't sing as much anymore."

Blaine was about to question it when Sebastian entered the room. "Ready to go home, Rosie?"

Rose scurried into Sebastian's arms as he picked her up. Blaine watched the pair. Sebastian smiled and then looked at Blaine. "Everything good?"

Blaine blinked, "Oh. Yeah. She's a really fast learner. And she has a nice voice."

Sebastian nodded and shifted the girl in his arms. "Alright. Well thanks, Mr. Anderson. We'll see you next week."

Blaine nodded and watched them leave. Christmas would be approaching soon. He wanted to do something special for the next practice. Blaine got up and left the room, walking down the hall to the front of the store. The store had gotten more and more popular since they opened. A handful of costumers were walking around, two at the counter talking to Jeff. Wes walked by, carrying a handful of sheet music. He glanced at Blaine. "Was practice good?"

Blaine nodded, "Yeah. Hey, can you cover for me? I want to go get some stuff."

Wesley sat the papers down on top of a piano they had on display. "What kind of stuff?"

Blaine shrugged, "Decorations. A gift. Christmas will be coming up soon."

"For those who celebrate Christmas," Nick said as he walked by.

Blaine rolled his eyes. "Either way. I think we could use some winter decorations, you know? Plus I want to grab a little something for Rose."

Wes sighed, "You're wasting your time, Blaine."

"From teacher to student. Nothing more. Not like a father-daughter thing."

Wes ran a hand through his hair and studied his friend. Blaine had worried him with this whole thing. He honestly thought that Blaine taking Rose in as a student was a stupid idea. Wesley shook his head and picked up the music again, "Okay, dude. Whatever you want. I'll cover for you."

Blaine smiled his thanks and left the store.

Kurt blinked as he woke up that morning. It was late. His alarm clock didn't wake him up and he sat up with a jolt. He looked at his clock to see that it was going on noon. He quickly got up and rushed out to the kitchen to find a note on the fridge. Sebastian's handwriting said:

"Hey Kurt. I thought you could use the break so I turned off your alarm clock and called Tina to have her cover your shift. You're welcome. I also took Rose to her lesson this morning and we're headed to my house afterwords to get my stuff and move on out. Maybe we can hang out later? Rest up.

Love, Sebastian.

P.S: Finn's flight is landing around five. You might want to make sure you go pick him up before he gets lost…"

Kurt smiled at the note. He walked back to his room and looked at his phone, blinking at a text he had.

Hey Kurt. I don't know if you still have my number, but I had yours. So, I saw Blaine yesterday. We talked a bit. Anyways, I was hoping we can hang out sometime? –Adam

Kurt froze. He was unsure how to respond. He typed out: Yeah, sure. Maybe we can go for a walk later today? I took the day off and Sebastian's taking care of Rose. I have to pick up Finn around five. So anytime between now and five will be good with me. –Kurt

Kurt got up and decided to start getting ready for the day.

"What do you think you're doing?! You're going to ruin it!"

The little boy looked up at his father who glared down at him furiously before snatching the crayon's out of the boy's hands and yelling in Spanish. The little boy's eyes watered as he muttered, "I'm sorry papa…."

There was the loud sound of something smacking something else as the man yelled, "You are a disgrace! You will never be my son!"

Randy jolted awake and glanced down at Fiora who had fallen asleep on his chest. He sighed and played with her hair. They were watching a movie earlier, the television in their apartment still on, and they both ended up falling asleep. He sighed and leaned forward to try and turn off the remote before Fiora groaned and snuggled against his chest more. He huffed and gave up, relaxing back into the couch.

Randy could never remember a time where he felt loved by his father. He never knew a time where his father welcomed him with open arms.

Randy moved in with his father when his mother got remarried. It wasn't that he didn't love his mother or her new husband, but he wanted to see if he could earn his father's respect. So he moved from Florida to New York to start school. He regretted the discision immediately. Randy was one of those kids who didn't like switching schools. So, he decided he would make it through High School in New York and then move away. That way, he wouldn't have to deal with his father anymore. He could be happy.

Until then, he would stay in New York. Although, the chances of staying with his father were slim. He could move in with Fiora, but he'd need his stuff at some point. That meant going to his father's house and confronting him, telling him that he was moving, packing, and leaving. Even though it sounded pretty easy, Randy found the whole thing hard to swallow.

Randy sighed and looked down at Fiora, who had her lips twisted in a slight smile and she hummed in her sleep. He gently leaned his arm over her, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

Kurt smiled as he saw Adam, standing there with a paper coffee cup in his hand. His ears were red, although they were partly hidden under a beanie. Kurt walked towards Adam slowly. They had gone on dates in the past before Kurt realized that he couldn't do it anymore and ran back to Blaine. It was a stupid idea. But he was in love.

"Hey Adam."

Adam took a sip of his coffee and looked over, his eyes seeming to shine at the sight of Kurt. "Kurt! Hey. How goes things?"

They hugged and Kurt smiled, taking in Adam's inviting scent. "Things are going."

Adam chuckled, "As always. How's your daughter?"

They started walking in the cold, back towards where Kurt came from. Kurt put his hands in his jacket pockets. "She's good. You should really see her sometime. She's growing up into a beautiful little girl."

Adam smiled. "And you're a proud single parent."

Kurt sighed, "It's not easy. At least I have friends like Sebastian who can help me out."

Adam glanced over at Kurt, "Sebastian?"

"An… old friend from High School. I guess. We weren't really the best of friends, ya know."

Adam nodded and took another sip of his coffee. They walked in silence for a bit. Kurt finally spoke up again, "Rose is taking piano lessons now."

"Oh really? Is she good?"

Kurt smiled, "Apparently. I haven't heard. She just started a few months ago."

Adam grinned, "Maybe you two will be a dynamic duo. She plays piano, you sing."

Kurt laughed, "I don't sing anymore."

Adam gently nudged his old crush with his elbow. "C'mon. You have an amazing voice. Very beautiful. And you used to love singing."

Kurt sighed, "I know, but…people change. I guess my love of singing just changed with me."

They stopped when Adam turned Kurt to face him. "I know you love singing. Even if you deny it. It's in your heart. It's what you were born to do Kurt. You were born to be a star. And you're going to be one of the stars that shines the brightest."

Finn glanced around the airport. He felt like he stood out like crazy in a ratty jacket and dark washed jeans. He walked around with his suitcase, looking for his brother. It was about five. The flight landed just a bit early. But it was unlike Kurt to be late. He glanced around before finally finding the boy waving to him. Kurt ran to his brother and hugged him tight. "Finn! It's great to see you!"

Finn blinked and hugged Kurt back. "You too, bro. I'm sorry I haven't been visiting a lot."

Kurt stepped back and smiled, "It's fine. Just wait until you see Rose. She'll be so excited to see you."

Sebastian finished unpacking in one of Kurt's old guest rooms across from Rose's room and smiled. It was nice to feel like he was actually getting somewhere with everything he's been doing for the past few years. Rose walked in and smiled, "Sebby, when's daddy going to be here?"

Sebastian looked at his watch and smiled, "Soon. And he'll have a surprise for you."

Rose smiled widely, "A surprise? Yay!"

Sebastian chuckled as he heard the front door open. Suddenly Finn's voice went, "Rose?"

Rose sqealed and ran out, Sebastian following behind. He walked into the living room as Finn hugged Rose and kissed her cheek, setting her on the floor. Kurt watched like a proud father from the doorway, gently closing the front door. Finn noticed Sebastian and gave him a weird look. "Smythe."

Sebastian smirked, "Hudson."

Kurt cleared his throat. "Sebastian moved in."

Finn blinked, "Moved in? Like…are you two together?"

Sebastian kept his mouth closed and Kurt shook his head. "No. No no. We're just good friends. That's all."

Sebastian nodded and offered a tight-lipped smile before heading into the kitchen.

Later that night, Finn and Rose were watching a movie and playing around in the living room with Kurt while Sebastian sat alone at the dining room table. Kurt noticed and walked off. Sebastian looked up and smirked.

"Well hey there, handsome."

Kurt giggled a bit and sat next to him. "Hey. Why so lonely over here?"

Sebastian shrugged. "Why not?"

Kurt hummed and they sat in slience for a while. Kurt bit his lip and tapped his fingertips against the table. Sebastian looked over, "What's on your mind?"

Kurt blinked. "Oh nothing. I'm just thinking…"

"About?"

"Maybe we can drop Rose off with Tina or Sam? You, me, Finn, Rachel, and Fiora can go hang out? Maybe I'll invite Adam."

"Adam? That guy you used to date?"

Kurt shrugged, "Why not? I just got a text from him this morning. We hung out a bit. It would be nice to catch up, ya know. Be friends with him or something."

Sebastian huffed a bit. "When?"

"Christmas. Tina wanted to hang out with her a bit for the holiday anyways."

Sebastian shrugged. "If you want. It's up to you."

And with that Sebastian got up and left to his new room, where he stayed for the rest of the night.

A/N: Like the little twist I threw in there? I almost forgot to put this up today...oops. I mean, it's only almost 4pm but still. Anyways! I'll see you guys next week. Feel free to message me any questions or write a review or whatever. I do read them and enjoy them. So yeah! ~Toxic
