"Blaine, I'm scared." Kurt looks around his new kindergarten class, tucking him silently into Blaine's side, gazing quietly at all the other small kids who are in his class.

"It's okay Kurtie, I'll look after you." Kurt feels their hands tangle together, a sudden rush of comfort washes over him.

They both look up at their parents, all of them a bit teary eyed, "Okay now boys, we're going to be back in a few hours to pick you up. So be good and have fun." Lizzie kisses Kurt on his soft cheek and hugs Blaine affectionately, feeling like her heart is breaking ever so slightly.

Burt wraps a secure arm around her waist letting her feel comfort in this difficult time, "Have fun kiddo." Burt knows his son would be crying his eyes out if it weren't for Blaine, can see how safe he feels with just holding his hand.

"Bye baby B, and be nice to other kids, okay?"

"Yes Mommy."

"Alright class, it's time to say goodbye to your Mommy's and Daddy's!" Mrs Hunter, their new teacher chimed cheerfully.

"Bye Momma…" Kurt's chin wobbled dangerously, close to an impeding crying fit, but Blaine just kisses his cheek sweetly and takes him to the soft play mat on the floor so they can listen to Mrs Hunter.

The four adults just leave silently and make their trip to the coffee shop down the street, sitting quietly in a booth, "Do you think they're okay?"

"Lizzie I'm sure they're fine honey, they've got each other."

Burt tries to be comfort his wife but, "What are the other kids going to say to them? They won't understand them."

They all sigh. She's right. Burt just hopes that today isn't a total disaster to the point they have to settle two inconsolable boys with what will probably be ice cream, movies and lots of cuddles.

"On the plus side we have empty houses with no disruptive and invasive kids." Michael shrugs.

He's right.

They pay the bill quickly, dashing to their cars with hurried goodbyes and promises to see each other later. They had an empty house after all.


They all meet at the entrance to the school before walking in together ready to face any and all situations that could greet them. But to their surprise both of the boys look happy and excited to ramble on about their day, showing off their new artwork for the fridge. Their hands are clasped between them as they say a cheerful goodbye to Mrs Hunter, before they race to their parents, ready for cuddles and hello kisses.

But.

"Mr and Mrs Hummel, and Mr and Mrs Anderson, can I speak to all of you for a moment please?"

The boys, their eyes wide in fear to what they maybe could've done to get themselves in trouble, cuddle further into their mothers' embrace, "The boys can play with Miss White while we talk." Her voice sickly sweet but they know this can't be good.

The boys are put down to go play but instead they choose to sit together at a colouring table, hands tightly clasped, tiny hushed voices as they try to figure out what went wrong. Burt looks back at them one final time before turning towards his son's teacher, "What seems to be the problem?"

"Mr Hummel, maybe we should all discuss this in another room, where we can all sit down."

Burt stifles the urge to roll his eyes, just. It's all formalities when he really just wants to get to the point. They all make their way to what seems to be a small staff breakroom, sitting in uncomfortable plastic chairs, and the tension in the room stifling.

"Look I'm going to be straight here and tell you guys that I have made some…observations about Blaine and Kurt," She starts off lightly, hoping to try and ease them all into this conversation, "Now I know boys have friendships with other boys, but…their relationship with each other is…a little strange to say the least."

"So?"

"Burt-"

"No Lizzie, I wanna know what's so bad about my son's relationship with his best friend." So Burt's a little stubborn and defensive on the issue.

"I think what Burt's trying to say here is that we have no issue with how Kurt and Blaine are with each other. Their behaviour doesn't concern us in any way and we hope that this school doesn't have a problem either." Michael knows they have to tread lightly or this whole thing could crumble.

"But it's not right-"

"Are you saying its wrong? Wrong for a boy to hold another boys hand?" Pam is just as feisty when she wants to be, especially when talking about her baby.

"It's not normal. They kiss each other's cheeks, doesn't this concern you in any way?"

"No. It doesn't. So could you please leave the parenting to us? They're our children." Lizzie knows they've thought this through. That they have a backup school if this one doesn't accept their children for who they are.

"I'm not trying to question your parenting skills," Burt did roll his eyes then, "But in this school their behaviour is not acceptable and so to correct it we think it's best if we separate the boys into different classes," They all looked horrified at the notion. She backpedalled, "You know…so they don't become co-dependent on each other…"

"I think we're going to remove our kids from this school as we don't find the moral aspects of this facility acceptable. We don't want our children's minds to be shaped by people who don't accept them as they are, so thank you for today and we'll not be returning."

"Sir, you don't have to do this-"

"Yes. We do." Burt leaves it at that and silently leaves the staff room, ushering his wife and friends with him as they make their way back to their son who is still cuddling into Blaine's side.

"Momma! I didn't do anything I swear!"

"Me neither Mommy, we were good boys."

And here comes the tears. They thought they escaped this but turns out no, they have a good night of ice cream, movies and snuggling ahead of them. Not that they totally mind, they just want their sons to be happy and together.


"Momma why do we have to start somewhere new? I liked Mrs Hunter."

"Me too!"

"I know baby but Momma and Daddy didn't like that old kindergarten, they tried to separate you two and we were just not having it."

She watches as his fearful eyes turn to Blaine's, his hand clasping his in a tighter grip, "Momma I don't want to be away from B."

"I know honey," She smiles softly, "So that's why we're at this new place, which I'm sure you'll like just as much, if not better."

Lizzie knows this time will be better. They were smart about, organising a meeting before hand with their new teacher, Miss Polly, a new and younger teacher, who seemed keen to keep the boys together. They explained to her their previous school and she seemed appalled by their lack of compassion for their situation, and she listened intently as they explained the complex nature of Kurt and Blaine's relationship. She welcomed them with open arms.

Of course she had to go through the risks of having them both come into their new class a little late, what with everyone already knowing each other, but she reassured them she would help in any way she could to help them blend. She also was adamant on her rules with no bullying, saying she would stop it whenever she sees it or is informed about it. It lightens the weight on all of the adult's shoulders.

So now they are leading their kids into a new new classroom, filled with loud little kids all excited for another day at kindergarten, and Kurt is already becoming shy and anxious. But before Miss Polly can step into to encourage him, Blaine is there to hold his hand and bring him over to the colouring table, his favourite, and grabs him the pink crayon and paper with the princess on it. His smile, yet still slightly shy, is more carefree.

"Well it looks like they'll be just fine, so I'll see you all at 12pm to pick them up."

And that was that.


A/N: Next Chapter should see the boys dealing with a little bit of bullying because of their relationship. Please review and let me know what you think!
