Blaine walked to the playground, his hand held tightly in Cooper's hand. He was looking forward to this day, where he could play on the slides and swings and see-saw with all the other children. He was supposed to come here with his mother, but she got an interior designing project which she couldn't turn down. Cooper, in turn, was irritated by the fact that he had to babysit his irritating little brother instead of going and playing football with his buddies. He did show his dislike by clenching on to Blaine's hand harder and making rude faces and being short with his brother. However, Blaine wasn't getting his attitude; he was too busy jumping and looking at butterflies and balloons and what not.
They finally reached the playground and Blaine shook off Cooper's hand as hard as he could so he could run to the one unoccupied swing. He somehow reached there before some snotty rude boy could and looked at Cooper happily. He shrieked, "Coop! Coop! See, I got the swing! Swing me please!" Cooper tried to look somewhere else, facing second-hand embarrassment due to his baby bro, but he went and started pushing the swing. As he pushed Blaine, a cute girl in denim shorts and a lacy top started talking to him. He no longer hated his parents as he got to chat with this babe.
Blaine was able to swing harder because of the momentum of the swing. As the swing slowed down, he looked behind only to see that Cooper was not there. He jumped down from the swing only to find a girl in pigtails jump on it immediately. He didn't even get mad at her because he was searching for his brother. He started walking but it was still early in the evening and not many people had come yet. The playground was big and he wasn't able to find his brother. He thought, "Maybe, he went outside to pick up ice-cream for me, also." He licked his lips, and his eyes went to the see-saw he wanted to go on later. The episode there scared him though. Two kids, who were definitely older than his seven years were shoving a kid younger than him off the see-saw. He went near, so he could help the little kid. He was wearing really fancy clothes, which included a bowtie and a cute coat print on the shirt. Blaine loved it almost immediately. However, the other kids didn't think so. They shouted at the boy, "Scram! See-saws aren't for sissies! If you play on it, it might swing you up so hard you'll fall down and break all your bones!"
The boy retorted back, "That's not physically possible, so go study before you threaten me!" The bullies came towards him and Blaine immediately held the cute bboy from under his arms and carried him to some trees where he knew a hidden alcove. The boy grew defensive. "If you want to beat me up, do it. I'm not afraid." But Blaine could see him shuddering. He quickly said, "No, not at all. I didn't want you to get hurt. So I brought you here. Wait, are those elf ears?" The boy whispered something under his breath and Blaine could only catch "magicked them to disappear…what to do…want dad…" Blaine thought he would act like a Prince did in all his Disney movies and told him, "Don't worry, it's very cute and suits you. If you want, we can sit here and talk or you can go back to your Dad. I'm Blaine and I'm searching for my brother."
The pale, elfin boy looked him as if judging and then got his hand out, saying, "I'm Kurt, and my Mom passed away last month. It's just me and my Dad now." Blaine put a hand to his mouth, shocked. He knew his Mom didn't have much time for him, but he loved her. He couldn't imagine what it would be like. He immediately hugged Kurt and said, "I'm so sorry." Kurt quickly changed the topic and they spoke about everything from favorite cartoons to elementary schools. Blaine then decided he would ask even if he didn't get an answer, "So, are you an elf prince? Please don't tell me if you don't want to." Kurt seemed to decide something and opened his mouth, however he then heard his Dad calling, "Kurt! We have to leave right now!"
Kurt gave a panicked look to Blaine, who held his hand and said, "Let's go, so your Dad won't worry." They walked out of all the trees, Kurt giving a look when one of the tree-bark slightly scratched his forearm. His father was waiting outside there and gave him a stern look, to which Kurt gave a pouty face in return. He hugged him and then Burt said slightly aloud, "The spell is still on, good." Kurt interjected, "Dad, Blaine can see my ears! My normal ears!" Burt looked surprisingly at him and asked, "What's your name, son?" Blaine proudly said, "Blaine Anderson, Blaine with an i, not like in Pretty in Pink." Burt chuckled and said, "So where are your parents? We can ask if they want to come have cookies and tea at our place. It's just around the corner."
Like magic, Cooper turned up shouting for Blaine. He saw him with a man and another kid and pointed at him, "You! I thought you were going to stay by the swings." He then looked up at Burt and started stuttering, "Burt Hummel? Oh my God, you're alive!" Burt took off his cap and rubbed his head, nodding and saying, "Anderson should have rung a bell in my head. Your parents at home, kiddo?" Cooper nodded frantically to which Burt hoisted Kurt on his hip and said, "We're going to meet some old friends, yeah? You can talk to Blaine and tell him all the safe parts, yeah?" Kurt gave his Dad a kiss on the cheek and asked to be let down, so he could walk with Blaine, their pinkies together as they spoke about why exactly Kurt had elf ears, Cooper was nervous around his father and only Blaine could see them : Kurt's Mom was the Elf Queen.
