Chapter Two: A Love Lost, A Friend Gained

Kurt hadn't realised that he'd fallen into a routine until it was broken one morning, when they were running late. Holly had been up sick the night before, but seemed fine enough to go to school. Kurt was running late for work, and kept forgetting things that Holly would grab, and shove into her bag. They were out the door, and Kurt was speeding off down the road, probably doing faster than the limit, in order to get his daughter to school on time. He hadn't considered how he would look running through the school, Holly close behind, and almost tripping through the door, breaking the silence that Blaine must have had the class in. Kurt grinned, and kissed Holly's cheek, winking to his daughter, before backing out of the classroom, an apologetic look on his face. Blaine didn't seem to be bothered by it, and continued on with the session, as Holly took her spot behind the table beside Renee. There had been alot of talk, between Kurt and Blaine. They had agreed to meet up after school and work tonight, to get a drink. Kurt was looking forward to it. He's nervous, and should probably call to confirm, but other than that, he's excited. Finn can tell that there's something different about his brother when he meets the man for lunch at their usual place in the mall. Kurt hasn't stopped smiling all week, and whether it's because Kurt met someone, or he's just decided to smile, Finn has no idea. They're close, but he doesn't want Kurt to feel like he's being pressured to start dating again so soon after what happened with Sebastian... if I ever get my hands on that... fucked up barstard... I will happily let Puck kick his arse... and me of course... Finn thought, smiling triumphantly, as Kurt sat down, unwrapping the salad sandwich he'd brought from the kiosk. Finn was talking about Quinn's hormones, and how this pregnancy was taking its toll on their marriage. Kurt told him to stop being so overdramatic, save that for Rachel, and learn to enjoy it, because he's going to be a father, and he needs to learn how to do that. Finn loves it when Kurt tells him off for stupid stuff; it shows a side of his brother he hasn't seen since highschool...

Of course, he hasn't seen alot of Kurt since highschool. His brother used to be passionate about performing and singing. He hasn't done anything like that since they won National's in their senior year. Mr. Schuester had tried to help Kurt a little after highschool, when he didn't get into NYADA, but Kurt worked with his dad in the shop, and took classes at OSU, and got a degree in business and fashion, opened his own company, expanded and now he's here, in Philadelphia. His dream was New York, but Kurt's been there heaps now, both for personal and for work, but he's been less carefree since he started dating Sebastian. Finn was wary at first, given the boys reputation, but never questioned Kurt's choice... he'd learnt that lesson long ago. Rachel, Quinn, Puck and Lauren joined them at the table, each talking about their own things. Kurt hadn't managed to ask Finn if he and Quinn would look after Holly whilst he meets with Blaine tonight, in fact, before he goes back to work, he should call and confirm the time and place. He'd rather not look like an idiot.

'Finn, I have a meeting tonight. Do you think you and Quinn can look after Holly?' Kurt asked, maintain eye contact with his brother, who simply nodded, and smiled

'Sure. What's the meeting for?' Quinn asked, raising her eyebrow suspiciously, she is the assistant to Kurt Hummel after all... she does handle all meetings...

'It was a Last minute thing. Holly will be happy her aunt and uncle will be there. She misses you,' Kurt said, changing the subject

'I want all the details later Kurt,' Quinn whispered in his ear, winking when she pulled back... this was not missed by Rachel...

The rest of Kurt's day, involved texts and calls from Rachel, trying to get information out of him, as to why Quinn knows what's going on, and she doesn't... Quinn is his sister-in-law, she has every right to know... but Rachel has been his friend the longest... no matter how annoying she is, or how selfish she is, she still manages to be there for him... now though... he wishes she would leave him the fuck alone to finish work, before picking up his daughter, going home to change, and meeting Blaine... for their non-date... emphasis on the non... it's not a date... not yet... we've only known each other a week... give it time... Kurt thought to himself, trying to not throw his phone against the wall to stop Rachel's constant texting and calling... she'll start calling the office before you know it... right on time... Kurt thought, as his office phone rang, and he answered it to hear Rachel's voice... he's good at changing the subject and dodging Rachel's questions... hanging up on her is always an option, but her driving over to the office, isn't what Kurt really needs or wants today. Eventually, thanks to Quinn's diversion, Rachel hangs up, demanding to be 'kept in the loop'... I'm not telling anything to anyone, until I know what it is... Kurt thought... Thank god it's Friday... his mind added, flipping through the latest spread.

It was late Friday afternoon, and Finn had promised that he and Quinn would look after Holly whilst Kurt went out. He didn't tell them he was meeting up with Blaine, or that he was even considering maybe asking the teacher out on a date. Rachel had been pestering him for information, but he didn't tell her anything. Not that he didn't want to; just that he knew the consequences of what could happen, if he told Rachel. First, there would be the insane need for the diva to 'interrogate' the man, and potentially ruin any chance Kurt had. Of course, this isn't really a date, more like a non-date, two friends going out for a drink. Kurt hasn't been on a date in years, not since college, when he and Sebastian started going out... and then Holly... it had all happened so fast, he didn't have time to think, or 'date around' as Mercedes has told him. Coughlin's Bar wasn't far from Kurt's house, and the opportunity to walk was never passed up by the designer. He was always teaching his daughter about being eco friendly, and not driving when she didn't need to. It wasn't an old bar, nothing like the ones in Lima, but it was popular. Blaine was seated at a table, with two other people, who Kurt assumed were Wes and David, given all the apologising he'd done when Kurt had called to confirm their non-date. He was wearing a black, long sleeved shirt, and his jeans, just causal, but still neat. Blaine was dressed in a tight black top, also in jeans, and from where Kurt was standing, could look like a male model... Mmm... There's a thought... I wonder... no he wouldn't be able to do that... not with the job he's in... Kurt said to himself so only he could hear, and made his way to the table. Wes spotted him first, elbowing Blaine, and standing to order a round of beers. The teacher mouthed sorry, as Kurt sat down, smiling, and shaking David's hand, when the man introduced himself.

'So Kurt, Blaine tells us that you're new to Philadelphia. If you don't mind me asking, why the sudden change in location?' David asked, taking the beer Wes placed in front of him and sipping it slowly

'Personal reasons. They have better schooling here for my daughter, and my job,' Kurt replied, missing Blaine's glare sent towards David, who just winked and turned to talk to his own boyfriend...

'I'm sorry about them. If I had of known they'd be tagging along, I would have lied to get rid of them,' the tenor said, leaning in so only Kurt could hear, the sensation sending tingles down Kurt's spine

'Its fine, they make for interesting entertainment. So, I heard about the incident at the school. Is everything okay?' Kurt asked, slipping easily into conversation with the teacher.

They talked about the school, and some of what brought Blaine to Philadelphia. Kurt was vague, not really mentioning much about his past, and trying to not involve the possibility that this could go somewhere, other than friendship. Rachel had been texting him the whole night, and Blaine had noticed his phone going crazy on the table, every time the brunette woman would call. Kurt just ignored the phone, keeping the conversation with Blaine light, and going in the direction he wanted it to. Should this turn into something more, maybe there will be a part of Kurt that will open up, but he's practically only just met Blaine, he really doesn't know everything there is to know about the man... Wes and David interrupted their conversation to tell Kurt about their trip to Alaska, and how they had been planning it since before they could remember. Stemming all the way back to their highschool days at Dalton. Dalton? OMG! Kurt suddenly had a flashback to one day at highschool, when Puck had told him to go do something useful and spy on the Garglers...? Warblers... The Dalton Academy Warblers... I never went to spy on them... I could have met Blaine back then... maybe things would have been different? Kurt thought, realising that Blaine was trying to get his attention, and apologising, before taking a sip of the drink in front of him, and listening to what Wes and David were ranting about. He could tell Blaine that he knew where Dalton was later, perhaps when they weren't surrounded by people, or Wes and David.

Their drinks went well into the night, and before they knew it, Blaine was walking Kurt home, Wes and David close behind. Kurt just smiled, and laughed and let the conversation flow freely. They reached the large house, with a metal gate and long driveway, and Blaine had to gape for a moment, blushing when Kurt smirked and raised an eyebrow at him. David and Wes weren't as subtle, yelling out things like 'Blaine, he's fucking rich'... Kurt just laughed as Blaine's glare, but thanked him for a great night, and hoped they could do it again... Blaine agreed, a little too quickly, but nevertheless... Kurt kissed his cheek, and pressed a button to open the gate, waving one to the three men, before turning and making his way up the driveway. Blaine watched until he was in the house, before turning to Wes and David, who were smirking, with their arms crossed. If Blaine had of stay standing there much longer, he may have noticed Quinn watching him out the window, a small smile on her face. Kurt didn't seem to notice his sister-in-law had been watching them, until he entered the house, and she winked at him. Frowning, Kurt followed Quinn upstairs to Holly's room to check on her, where the blonde woman blocked the door, arms crossed, eyebrow raised, in her 'i-know-you're-up-to-something-and-it-involves-a-guy-and-i-want-deets' look.

'Look, it might be nothing okay. We're just friends for now... I don't know if I'm ready to trust another person yet Quinn... you can't tell the others until I know myself...' Kurt replied, closing Holly's bedroom door

'Kurt, you deserve to be happy. I'm happy for you, and whenever you're ready, or if you need to talk to someone, I'm here okay. But please, don't shut Blaine or any of us out. Don't push him away...'

'It takes me a long time to trust people Quinn,'

'I know. But please give Blaine a chance. He seems nice,' Quinn replied, smiling, and hugging him.

Not long after that, Finn and Quinn called it a night, and left. Kurt hadn't told his brother about Blaine, it's hard enough knowing that Quinn knows. It's not like she'd tell Finn without his permission, but he's so worried about what this might turn into, and he has Holly to think about. This man is her teacher. They haven't known each other long, and he doesn't want Blaine to lose his job, or Holly to be treated any differently than she already is. He may be a high-class parent, but that doesn't mean jack, if his daughter isn't treated like all the other kids her age. There are only three other children, with high-class parents in that room, and they don't get special treatment. Kurt climbed into bed that night, thinking back over everything, and fell asleep dreaming of what might have happened had he gone to spy on the Warblers back in Junior Year. Blaine, Wes and David got home, and the moment they were in the door, the teasing started. Wes explained that he looked familiar a little, to which David replied it's because he's famous, and Wes reads MerBerry Magazine each month. There's something else about him though... Wes thought, trying desperately to remember... he knew there was something about this guy, and it's not just his fame. It's like, he'd seen him before somewhere, years ago, he just couldn't pinpoint where... Blaine, on the other hand, was trying, and failing, to suppress the blush spreading across his face, as David teased him, and made innuendo's, and crude remarks, only to stop when Wes hit him over the head, which for some reason, led to a make-out session, that Blaine didn't need to see... ever...

Kurt spent the whole of Saturday, trying to figure out whether or not this friendship, can go further, and also if he'd remembered seeing Blaine back at Sectional's. Perhaps he should ask Finn, or Rachel, but that would mean he'd have to admit that he might kinda, sorta like this guy, and he's not ready to do that yet... unless it's in the privacy of his own home. The doorbell sounded through the house, and Holly came bounding down the stairs shouting that she'll answer the door. Kurt just chuckled, and went to help Holly, seeing as she couldn't really reach the doorhandle. Kurt was surprised to find Blaine, standing on the steps, both because of the security, and because he hadn't called... not that this seemed to bother Holly, she was excited, and practically yanked Blaine into the house, leaving Kurt to close the door, and follow his daughter through the house, where Blaine was now sitting in the lounge.

'Sorry, Holly's been entertaining me, I couldn't resist,' Blaine said, standing and moving over to where Kurt was standing

'Its fine, she's demanding... gets it from her uncle I think. Do you want something to drink? I'm on the clock, but I can get you something if you want it?'

'Diet Coke is fine,' Blaine replied, smiling

'Okay,' Kurt nodded and headed into the kitchen

'Daddy likes diet coke too... and clothes... and sunshine, and rain, and winter, oh and he loves Grandpa and Grandma and his family and chocolate, but he doesn't like strawberry. He likes boys too, but that's okay, it's awesome. You're a boy, maybe daddy likes you... 'Holly said cheerfully, Blaine just smiled, watching as the young girl returned to playing with her dolls on the floor, like she hadn't just shared valuable information about Kurt

The designer returned with drinks, and sat down on the floor beside his daughter, pulling the sketch book from under the table, and flipping it open to a blank page. In the five minutes that Blaine sat watching his friend, he realised that the way Kurt's hand moves over the page, so lightly, is encapsulating... he's completely mesmerised, which is probably why he doesn't hear Kurt talking to him, until the man throws a crumpled piece of paper at him, smirking when Blaine pouts and pretends to act like a wounded little kid. Kurt shakes his head, and returns to drawing, whilst he and Blaine calmly discuss Vouge... yes, I still read that magazine, even though I have my own... Kurt thought, telling himself, and then shaking his head at the mental-ness he'd just experienced. They had gotten used to hanging out at one another's houses since they became friends. It was usually Kurt's though, because Wes and David liked to make out... everywhere... Blaine was considering disinfecting the whole house... that was the day he realised that he would do anything to hear Kurt's melodic laughter again... Kurt didn't want to be working, he should take the afternoon off, but he's a tone of things to do, and they all need to be done by Monday, so he's pretty much got no time off... realising that Blaine is watching him, Kurt moves to sit beside the other man on the sofa, handing the sketches to Blaine, and watching with an amused expression as the teacher flips through them. Some of them date back to highschool... other's are more recent...

Kurt doesn't know why he's letting Blaine look through the sketch book, he also can't figure out why he's resistant to asking the man out on a date. It's not like it would be awful... with Blaine, it would probably be... entertaining, fun... romantic... okay Kurt... let's not scare the man off... Kurt thought, remembering the drinks at the bar, and the conversation about Dalton. Kurt moved quickly over to the large bookshelf built into the lounge room wall, and pulled out McKinley High's Year Book, for 2011. The year they graduated... won National's... Blaine quirked an eyebrow, but quickly it turned to shock and surprise, as Kurt opened up to a page, with a Show Choir with the trophy 'National's Winner 2011 McKinley Highschool, Lima Ohio...'

'You were part of the New Directions?'

'Yes. I was. I heard Wes and David mention the Warblers... we competed against you in my junior year, at both Sectional's and Regional's,' Kurt replied, as Blaine took in this information.

'Kurt, would you like to go on a date with me?' Blaine asked, eyes wide, hope written all over his face

'I'd love too,' Kurt replied, a little breathless, but nevertheless...

Wow, hold up... what happened to taking things slow and 'seeing where they end up'? Diving into the deep end on this one aren't you? Kurt's brain was working overtime, but Blaine wasn't paying attention to the designer, rather he was writing down a list of places and times they could 'go out'. Blaine, on the other hand, knew the moment he found out that he and Kurt could have possibly met in highschool, and competed against one another at Sectional's and Regional's, that this wasn't just some random meeting. It's like fate had given them a chance, and they'd missed it, and now this was their second chance... one of those chance games where it's all or nothing... he could tell Kurt was a little overwhelmed, and he's not going to push any further, or expect anything out of it on the first date... they have to be official first... which according to Wes and David, means Facebook... why do I keep listening to them? Blaine thought, listing off a bunch of random friendly restaurants they could go to, that were low key, given Kurt's celebrity standing.

Finn was leaving the gym after his workout with Puck, when his cell rang. The caller ID said private, but he usually always answers it, given that it could be work. He wasn't expecting to hear Sebastian's voice on the other end. He wasn't really paying attention to the conversation, but decided to keep the recording for Kurt to listen to when he gets the chance. After all, it's mostly about him... Puck was glaring at the phone, about ready to smash it to the ground, and Sebastian knew he was getting nowhere with Finn and his lack of communication. What does he expect...? A fucking welcoming committee...? After what he did to my brother and niece...? Finn thought, climbing into the car, and making up a lame excuse as to why he had to hang up... without saying goodbye, he might add... their conversation on the way to Kurt's was heated and mainly about what they would do to Sebastian should they ever get their hands on him... Kurt wouldn't take him back... there's no way... Sebastian made his bed, now he has to lie in it, and deal with the fact that he's never going to see his daughter again... he's never going to get back what he had before. Well, at least not if Finn and Puck have anything to do with it...

His mind was going over and over the fact that Sebastian had called him, and not Kurt, and started to honestly wonder what was going on with the man. Kurt was starting to like that Blaine guy, Finn could tell, because whenever he went to pick up Holly, he would get this huge grin on his face, and get really excited about going to the school. Finn honestly couldn't blame him though, if he weren't straight and married, he'd probably date Blaine... he was going to wait until Kurt came to tell him that he's dating again, he won't push his brother into admitting something like it's a crime, he wants Kurt to want to tell him... besides, he knows Kurt won't listen to him anyway, so it's not like he has any say in who his brother decides to date or what not. He and Puck arrive home at noon, which is just in time to see Blaine leaving Kurt's house, large smile on his face. He doesn't see the two men watching him as he climbs into the black BMW out the front of the large house. Puck punches in the key code, and Finn and himself enter, Quinn and Rachel appearing on the front porch, talking loudly, and Olivia right beside them.

'What's going on? Why did we have to meet here?' Finn asked, kissing Quinn and her baby bump, protecting their first born, before looking to Rachel

'We don't know anything, we just go here. Did you see that man leave? Who was he?' Rachel asked

'Kurt was meeting a new model. Maybe that was him. You know he doesn't like to talk about the work Rachel... let's go inside shall we?'

'Sebastian called me...' Finn said, and there was silence amongst the group.

He'd done a stupid thing, leaving Kurt and his daughter behind to follow his dreams to New York. He could be happy Philadelphia. They have a small theatre there; he could have made enough to support them. Maybe, he just needs time to prove to himself that he can support them, and he doesn't have to rely on Kurt's money. Calling Finn was probably a bad idea, he knew the man wouldn't talk to him, or tell him anything about Kurt or his daughter. He should have called Rachel, at least she's animated. Entering the small, New York apartment alone, gave him a sense of déjà vu. He'd taken all the photos with him in it, as to make sure that Kurt would be able to move on from him... but he's an idiot... and Kurt didn't fight for him, or go after him... you didn't give him a chance idiot... he told himself, sinking further and further into the depression he harboured when he was younger. He knew, the minute he left Westerville, that he should have turned around and gone back. Deep down, he knew he didn't want to leave, but the stubborn part of him, the alter-ego highschool side of him, told him that Kurt and Holly would be better off without him. He's not far from Philadelphia. He could just go see Kurt... do you honestly think he really wants to see you? No... He doesn't Sebastian. Don't waste fuels on a worthless trip... he thought, sinking down onto the couch, and his head in his hands. Not even the comfort of his... lover... could make the sinking feeling of his life falling apart, leave...

Much alcohol was how Sebastian was coping. Maybe it was all the drinking that made him do the stupid thing, calling Wes and David. They were meant to go to Alaska, but after they started college, they kept in touch. Wes and David also lived in Philadelphia. He knew them from competing at Sectionals and Regional's with Guyton Academy in New Hampshire. Dalton was a prestigious private school, and admittance was steep. His parents were rich, but not that rich, so it was New Hampshire, and spending most time talking to his new friends from Dalton over the internet, and on Facebook. He didn't meet Kurt until college, so there was no chance he knew what was in store for him... maybe paying a visit to Wes and David would do me some good, and should I happen to bump into Kurt, then so be it... maybe that will be the way fate intended it...

'Do you think he'll come here?' Kurt asked Quinn as he walked them towards their cars at the end of the driveway

'I don't know Kurt, but you have all of us here if he does. He can't touch you if you don't want him to,' Quinn replied, kissing his cheek and hugging him

'I'm more worried about Holly than myself.. I've just started to rebuild my life here Quinn, I'm not ready for it to come tumbling down around me...' Kurt said, pulling out of the embrace

'Be strong Kurt... you have a date to look forward to remember?' Quinn said, winking and waving as she climbed in beside Finn

Strong...? Easier said than done...

A/N: Kurt and Blaine's first date, Wes and David's Alaskan Holiday, more Rachel drama, and Sebastian tries to reach out to his daughter, in the most inconvenient way possible... maybe it's through Blaine? Who knows... It's Sebastian... More Warblers soon too... Thanks for the favourites and alerts, much appreciated. Until next time... JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.
