Glee is no way mine and there is no profit made.

It rightfully belongs to its writers: Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuk.

Kurt second guessed himself. He liked Blaine, and now that he's got his stuff and already left the apartment with Alice, he couldn't help but feel a little bit empty. The fact that Blaine wasn't there anymore left Kurt with a void that he now didn't know how to fill. He liked caring for Blaine during the time that he was with him. He liked the fact that someone was there to depend on him, and that he had someone to care for. Though as it appeared Blaine didn't need him anymore, it was the exact opposite for Kurt. He needed Blaine to be there with him, but that wouldn't happen. Blaine only stayed with him because Alice had gone missing. As a friend, he wouldn't dare go between the love a man and his daughter shared. No, the relationship they had was much more important. Besides, after the week they've been through, each of them deserved to have fun and relax, even for a little bit. Weekdays would surely be empty now. At least he had something to look forward to on the weekends.

Blaine lifted Alice once again after pulling his satchel over his shoulder. Before leaving a thought entered his head. "Hey Kurt." He asked turning on his heel, facing Kurt through the door frame. "Is it okay if Alice misses Monday? I just wanna make sure that she's, you know."

"Oh, yeah sure totally fine! Her health is important." Kurt said emphasizing the word is. "But she's missed a lot of material already, so I don't know how she'll manage to catch up after missing five days of school." Blaine frowned, sensing that probably Kurt was right. Her education was important after all, and if she did miss something, that could end up hurting her in the long run. "You know what, you already know my address, just bring her by during the weekend so that I can bring her up to speed."

Alice perked up at the suggestion, looking at her father with a surprised look. "Looks like she likes the idea, okay then, that sounds fair." Blaine patted Kurt's shoulder as they left. "See ya this weekend then." Kurt waved goodbye as the two walked down the hallway. He kept his eyes on them, arms folded, until they turned for the corner and down the stairs.

Kurt glanced at the folded paper in his hands. Gilbert had given him an offer, and he wanted a chance with him, even if it was only for one date. Nothing bad would happen right? It was only one date. If it goes well, then great, if not, then at least he had a good friend to confide in. Kurt picked up his phone and dialed the number, setting the piece of paper down on the table.

Monday evening, Blaine, Alice and Karen decided to have a little bit of a day off to somewhat celebrate and just be with each other. Breadstix was their first stop for the night, deciding that they should eat before watching the latest Pixar movie. Alice jumped around inside the booth, moving her tiny little body in between the two adults. "Papa, where's Kurtie?" Alice held on to Blaine's arm, looking up at her father who almost choked on the water he was drinking. Blaine immediately took the glass out of his mouth and placed it on the table, Karen couldn't help but giggle as Blaine struggled to answer the question.

"Uh-uh" Blaine said, giving the woman a raised eyebrow. Karen looked away for a slight moment, but looked back through the corner of her eye, her ear very much pointed to the father and daughter. "He's not here tonight." Blaine choked a little bit, swallowing the saliva that pooled in his mouth. "He said he was busy tonight." He looked into his daughter's eyes for a moment and gave her a sweet smile. His disappointment evidently showing and was easily noticed by Karen from across the table. Blaine gave her a quick glance to see what she was doing, only to see her with a frown of her own. At least as much as he could see with her hand covering part of her face. "What?" A smile donned her face as she took the hand off her mouth. She looked down on to her plate of food, her smile getting larger. Blaine just looked at the woman, a confused look on his face. He asked himself why would she be smiling like that? Obviously, he had missed something.

"Nothing, Blaine. Oh it's nothing." Karen silently giggled to herself as she took a forkful of her favorite pasta and put it in her mouth. Blaine followed her lead and cut a piece of the steak on his plate, looking up and around the restaurant as he chewed. He dropped the fork that he held in his left hand as soon as he saw Kurt, with a man that he recognized from the hospital sitting down in a booth of their own.

So this is what Kurt said he was doing tonight. Blaine's lip curled upwards, his eyebrows furrowed at the image before him. Kurt was giggling at something the other man had said, and Blaine couldn't be madder. Soon enough, Kurt sat down, taking off the thin sweater that he wore, folding it neatly and placing it on the seat next to him. Blaine continued to stare at the two, holding the knife on his right hand as tightly as he could. He felt somewhat betrayed, but who was he to feel that way? It wasn't like they were dating or anything like that.

"Hmm?" Karen looked at Blaine, a strand of pasta hanging from her mouth. She puckered her lips and sucked, causing the strand to enter her mouth. She looked over to where Blaine was looking, her mouth still stuck in its current shape. From a distance not too far away, she saw two men, sitting across from each other. One was cute. He had spiky hair, a bit of a tan, and his eyes looked a bit slanted, but it would not be noticeable without looking into it. Cheeks were a little chubby, but it added to his good looks. The other man was not that bad either. He was fair skinned, nice nose and perfectly coifed hair. His smile was absolutely gorgeous and from what it looked like he had a small glimmer of a dimple just barely showing. Karen looked back at Blaine, who continued to stare. "So…" she said, her voice a little bit higher. "which one is it?" Blaine didn't answer, still frozen in his seat.

Alice looked at the two people sitting beside her. Her bottom lip stuck out a little bit as she waved her head. After not getting any idea what they were up to, she nudged her shoulders upwards, giving herself an "I dunno" gesture and continued eating. Much like her father, she looked up and around the restaurant as she chewed, spotting Kurt from afar. Her eyes grew as she jumped around in the booth, gasping in air as if her life depended on it. She pointed at the direction with her dainty hand ooh-ing with difficulty. She snuck underneath the table and left the booth, running towards Kurt.

"Yeah, and so right after making a gigantic ruckus in the library, guess what librarian said," Kurt sipped from the diet coke that the waitress gave them, noting the coldness even though he asked for no ice. He was having a great time telling the story, so he didn't even care at the moment.

"What?" Gilbert leaned over, expecting the man in front of him to continue.

"She thought we were cute!" Kurt laughed a little, "and get this, she wanted us to sing at her church! It was so embarrassing, I swear to God!" Gilbert laughed a little at Kurt's story. Kurt felt happy at the moment, he liked the fact that so far, the night was going pretty well. Gilbert was an absolute fun person to be around with, and there was never a dull moment. Kurt recalled the events that happened moments earlier.

After a short ride in Gilbert's car, Kurt looked around the outside of the window to see a magnificent park come into view. It was absolutely beautiful. Trees were rather sparse, and the green grass looked as if it had flooded the area. There weren't many people around, probably because the park was a little bit out of the way for most Lima residents. Kurt felt his heart tense up as soon as the car went to a complete stop. "Well, here we are." Gilbert announced, Kurt grabbed on to his turned-loose skinny jeans before Gilbert exited the car. He was about to put his hand on the door handle before the man outside opened the door himself. "A wonderful park, for a wonderful man." Gilbert said, making Kurt blush a little. They walked next to each other the whole time, Gilbert not taking Kurt's hand at all simply because it was their first date. The conversations they had were very simple small talk.

"So what made you decide to be a teacher?" Gilbert asked, looking up at Kurt, noticing the flying geese behind the man. He put his hands inside his jacket as he waited for Kurt's answer.

"You know the saying, 'those who can't, teach'?" Kurt looked up ahead, not sparing a glance at Gilbert, who simply nodded and answered "yes". "Well, it made me think. Growing up, I've had these amazing teachers: My dad, Mr. Shue, Ms. Pillsbury, even Coach Sylvester, and it made me wonder." He looked at Gilbert, giving him a small stare as they sat down on the park bench that looked over the lake where the geese started landing on. "What is it that they couldn't do?" Kurt picked at his hands, and looked up at the sunlight, noticing how bright orange it was. "Is being a teacher really a failure? When you know that each and every day, you can change a kid's life for the better? And that each and every day, students look up to you for support and guidance." The sun began to set, the redness of the sky slowly disappearing as the geese started to fly away, looking for shelter. "I look back and see how many times my life was changed by my teachers, and I thank them every day for it. And if I could do the same for my kids, I know I haven't failed. I know I succeeded." Gilbert went in and gave Kurt a tight hug, which Kurt graciously returned. "Besides…" Kurt continued, wiping the tear that threatened to fall. "Having all that authority is totally empowering." Gilbert held on to Kurt's hand, urging him to stand up.

"Kurtie!" Alice yelled, popping up between Kurt and Gilbert, giving Kurt a tight hug. "Papa's so sad without you." She gave Kurt her signature puppy dog face. Kurt smiled at her cuteness.

"Aw, who's this?" Gilbert remarked, leaning over at Alice with a smile on his face.

"Gilbert, this is Alice." Kurt introduced, using a hand gesture to connect his date with the girl who waved her hand excitedly at the man.

"Hi!" Alice said, the smile not disappearing.

"Alice, where's Blaine?" Kurt managed to keep the girl still, asking her a direct question.

"Papa's over there with Miss Karen!" She pointed over to a booth on the other side of the restaurant. From the distance, he managed to see Blaine beckoning Alice over with a wave, the woman beside him hiding her face in her palms.

"Your papa wants you, go on sweetie."

"Ok! Bye bye Kurtie!"
