SO… hi! I'm back… Sorta? I've been slowly thinking more and more about this story, but honestly everything about fanfiction kinda sat on the back burner for me, a lot of things have happened to where I haven't even gotten the chance to think about it. The last time i stopped posting i was still at least reading fanfiction, whenever i got the chance, but this time I literally went like 3 or so months just not even opening the site, which kinda sucks. The amount of time i have spent on this site is like uncountable for me. I hope you guys do enjoy, let me know what you think, or yell at me for being MIA for months idc.

Ryder :D

Blaine woke up with a somewhat familiar pain in his body, but as he came to, he realized he definitely welcomed it. Stretching his arm out across the bed, he realized he was reaching out to nobody. He blinked his eyes open slowly and looked to his left only to not see Kurt sitting next to him. Rubbing his eyes and gaining his bearings before getting out of bed, he climbed out of the side of the bed and stumbled down the hall, following the familiar scent of pancakes and syrup.

Turning the corner into the kitchen he saw Kurt standing at the counter in his boxers, flipping pancakes on the stove in front of him. Blaine walked up behind him and wrapped his hand around his waist, resting his chin on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt pressed himself back into Blaine's body and rested his head back on Blaine's shoulder, kissing his cheek.

Blaine hummed in appreciation and felt himself get a smile much larger than he was used to recently.

"Good morning to you too" Kurt said, winking and going back to making breakfast

Blaine didn't move his head from Kurt's shoulder, and just kept himself pressed on his back, he loved the warmth he provided, and based off of Kurt's reaction he didn't seem to mind.

"So.. When do you have to pick up Eli?" Blaine asked, hating the idea of having to leave after such a great night.

"Britt said she would call me when they were done with breakfast, and since it's sunday, and since I know Britt, I'm sure that won't be until at least 9:30 or so. Why?"

"I just want to know how much more time I have with you today" Blaine said, hoping it sounded a lot less pathetic than he thought it did.

Kurt's face lit up at that and when he turned around with red cheeks, Blaine felt a little feeling in his stomach, one he hadn't felt in so long that it felt foreign. When Kurt saw Blaine basically analyzing his facial expression he turned back around and continued working on the pancakes, forcing the smile away.

"Uh yeah I'm not sure, I guess we'll just have to wait for Britt to text me, Eli said he wanted to spend all day just watching movies with me and have a fun little lazy sunday. We haven't gotten a chance to do that in a really long time." Kurt said, the love for his son prevalent throughout the entire time he was talking.

"That sounds like fun! I do those with Cooper to this day" Blaine said, thinking fondly of his brother.

"Cooper is your brother right?" Kurt asked, not wanting to mix him up with some fictional character that he could potentially be jealous of in the future.

"Yeah, that's him." Blaine said, hoping the awkward moment from a few seconds ago was gone.

"Pancakes are done!" Kurt said, happy that he could finally finish them and have a conversation with Blaine without him staring at his ass the whole time. Not that he wasn't flattered, but he knew he was looking.

Kurt turned and walked to the table with three plates, one for each of them and one with 8 pancakes stacked on top of it, as he placed it Blaines eyes almost bulged out of their sockets.

"You think we can eat this many pancakes?"

As Kurt was coming back to the table with utensils and syrup, he laughed at the expression on Blaine's face.

"No dummy, I made extra in case we want some later or if Eli wants some when he gets home." Kurt said, unable to take how adorable Blaine looked.

"Hey, no need to call me a dummy, that hurts my feelings." Blaine said, feigning hurt.

"Oh I'm sorry, want me to kiss it and make it better?"

"That sure would help me" Blaine said, unable to suppress a chuckle

At that, Kurt leaned in and kissed him on the lips, one that turned very heated very quickly. Before anything could get too serious Kurt heard his phone start ringing and snapped back to reality.

He pulled away from Blaine's lips, feeling him chasing, and wanting to continue but feeling like he shouldn't.

When he got to his phone he saw a text from Ashley at his store.

Kurt! We are down two people in the middle of one of the dumbest rushes I've ever seen, I didn't know who else to text! Can you help us out? - Ashley

"Fuck…" Kurt said, louder than he thought he did

"What's wrong?" Blaine said, assuming that wasn't the audible response he would hear if that was Brittany texting him.

"I deserve a fucking raise." Kurt said, resting his head on his hands and rubbing his eyes with his palms.

"What happened?" Blaine asked again

"My work needs me to come in, they're drowning and are down two people."

"Oh fuck that sucks." Blaine said, knowing he was selfish for just wanting to keep Kurt there for the whole day.

"I don't care about that as much as the fact that I don't have anyone to watch Eli, Britt told me she is busy this afternoon and Ashley is the only other person I'm ever able to get to babysit for me and she's the one that just texted me."

Blaine knew the response from what he was about to say could either be great, or make him feel really bad about himself. But he knew he was going to say it anyway.

"I… I could watch him for you if you want?"

"What?" Kurt asked, amazed at the fact that someone would be willing to do that, much less someone he was only sort of dating.

"I mean. He's a really cool kid and we get along and you know he's already met me so it won't be weird and like we could go to the park or something or I could take him to my apartment and we could watch movies or something cause you know I have Charlie and I've got stuff at my apartment for him because he spends some time over there and -"

He was cut off by a kiss to his lips, feeling himself smile and sink into it. He knew he would never get tired of Kurt's lips, as long as Kurt kissed him he would kiss him back.

"What was that for?" Blaine said, catching his breath.

"I figured that was the only way to get you to stop talking." Kurt said, kneeling next to Blaine and resting his head on his armrest, looking up at him with the most beautiful eyes Blaine had ever seen.

"He has to know how beautiful he is.. Right?" Blaine thought to himself.

"Would you really do that for me though? Watch Eli?" Kurt asked, worry seeping into his voice.

"I mean yeah, of course I would. And hey, maybe Cooper and Liz want the Sunday off and I can arrange a last minute playdate for Charlie and Eli." Blaine said thinking out loud, internally questioning himself on whether or not he could handle two children at once.

"Oh my god Eli would love that, I just… I don't know." Kurt said.

It's not that he didn't like Blaine, he REALLY liked Blaine, just the idea of having to trust someone with his baby boy was really difficult for him to come to terms with. The only reason he was able to trust Brittany rather quickly is because he had known her since he was fourteen and she was also the mother of the child.

"Kurt please trust me with this, I want to be able to help you out." Blaine said, starting to form the most adorable puppy eyes at Kurt.

"Fine, but I want you to text me like every hour, I won't be there for super long but I want to know that my boy is okay."

"That's fine, I'll text you as many times as you want until you get annoyed by me texting you."

Kurt laughed at that and began to set up plans for the day, more for himself than for anyone else. He texted Brittany and told her that Blaine would be waiting for Eli at his apartment for her, and told her to tell Eli that Blaine was going to be there so that it wouldn't scare Eli about where his daddy was. Apparently the reaction from Eli that he was going to spend the day with Blaine was ecstatic, and although Kurt was glad that Eli was going to be comfortable, he felt that little pang that maybe Eli liked Britt or Blaine more than he liked him.

He quickly stopped those thoughts knowing there was no way that that was true, he was his dad after all, and they had been through a lot together.

He then called his store and told them he would be coming in as soon as possible to help with the rush and the aftermath and then would be leaving soon afterwards.

He left the apartment telling Blaine again everything there was to know about Eli, and that if he wanted to stay in the apartment he could because it was the place Eli was most comfortable. The same speech he was repeating the entire time he was getting ready while Blaine was watching him, paying specific attention to the part where he was getting dressed.

A time period where Kurt felt aroused and also annoyed that Blaine might have not been listening to what he was saying when it was so important to him. But once it got to the point where Blaine could list Eli's allergies and his favorite toy Kurt figured Eli was in relatively good hands.

Blaine had to practically push him out of the door telling him he would call the store if anything went wrong.

He felt weird being in Kurt's apartment without him being there, especially because they had only known each other for about 3 months. He wasn't about to go looking through Kurt's stuff, but once he sat on the couch he starting thinking about their relationship, if you could call it that, and wondering where in the hell they were.

He started thinking about earlier when Kurt cut himself off almost as if it was instinct to not reveal anything too personal or too emotional about himself, what was he afraid of? Does he do this with everyone? Does he have anyone that he can talk to about anything? He doesn't really mention ever having any friends, the only external people he had referenced were people at work, Britt, and the few family he did mention.

He also started thinking about how hard it was for Kurt to let Blaine just watch Eli for only two or so hours. Obviously it was his son, and he meant the world to Kurt, that made sense. But Blaine almost had to beg just for Kurt to maybe let him. He had watched Charlie countless times, did Kurt think that Blaine wasn't responsible enough to watch his son? Or did he not trust Blaine?

Just before he could whirlwind himself into a much less fun train of thought, he heard the doorbell ring, which he assumed, correctly to be Brittany with Eli.

They exchanged an awkward interaction which involved Eli jumped up to Blaine and hugging him excitedly, leaving Britt to just watch the affection Eli had to this relative stranger.

Unless he wasn't a stranger? Brittany thought. Is this guy really that close with Kurt that he was willing to let him take care of the most important person in his life? Brittany left with more questions with answers leaving Blaine and Eli alone in Kurt's apartment.

"So buddy, what do you want to do for the next few hours while your daddy's at work?" Blaine asked, helping him get his backpack off and walking with him to his room.

"I dunno" Eli said, visibly sad again.

Blaine put his backpack in the corner of the room and sat on the bed, while Eli was sitting on the floor, mindlessly moving his cars around.

"What's wrong Eli?" Blaine asked, moving to the floor and sitting against the bed.

"I miss my daddy" Eli said

Blaine felt his heart melt at this, and wanted to do anything he could to make the boy feel better.

"I know you do buddy, and I know you wanted to have that movie day right?" Blaine asked, letting Eli nodd and continuing.

"How about this, we'll grab a few movies from here that you like, go to the market and grab stuff to make lunch, go back to my home and set up an all day movie marathon for when your daddy gets off work?"

Eli's face seemed happier than Blaine had ever seen it, and he bounced up in excitement.

"Yeah! I can't wait! Daddy will be so surprised!" Eli said

And with that they packed up Eli's backpack with movies and a few of his favorite toys and set off to the market.

Alright so I know that was a weird place to cut it off but I felt like the chapter was kind of going on long enough, but be prepared for some more fluff in the next chapter. Also, I know i've been gone forever but I just want to say this…

Last night i went to see Lea Michele and Darren Criss in concert and it was SO GOOD OH MY GOD IT WAS AMAZING!

They opened with Broadway Baby, and then Lea performed "Don't rain on my Parade" and "Cannonball" and "Run to you" and a few other ones and then Darren came back out and opened his own mini set with "Cough Syrup" by Young the Giant and then he did ALL STAR? LIKE ALL STAR BY SMASH MOUTH! But he had his own Darren spin on it and it was hilarious and absolutely amazing. (just an FYI Darren is WAY cuter in person, like it was crazy, I couldn't believe it.) and then he did "Foolish thing" (my personal all time favorite song of darrens, if you haven't listened to it you should cause it's amazing) and he did "I Dreamed A Dream", "Teenage Dream" and it was just all so incredible I couldn't believe i was so lucky to go see them and I figured that if i was going to share that anywhere it would be on this website and specifically this thread of stories right? So yea i know nobody probably read this far but if you did I appreciate you and leave a review, tell me what you think, or just be one of those lurkers, i'm honestly fine with that too, i appreciate everyone that reads everything and I love you all aaand bye
