"Okay, here comes another one," Blaine called to Kurt, who was standing across the court from him. Blaine served the ball gently and it went smoothly over the net and bounced three feet from Kurt. Kurt swung at it awkwardly, but the ball bounced behind him.

"I'm not doing too well, am I?" Kurt called back, sighing.

"You're a beginner! You'll get better!" Blaine called encouragingly.

"That's easy for you to say, you're like, Junior Champion of the Universe, or something," Kurt called back. After Kurt had found a bunch of Blaine's old tennis trophies in a dusty cardboard box in Blaine's basement, Blaine confessed that he was quite the young prodigy. He had even made it to the Junior National Championships when he was only nine years old. Kurt was insistent on tennis lessons, so the day was being spent at the tennis court in the local park with Blaine trying to teach Kurt how to play. Even with a teacher as wonderful as Blaine, Kurt was having some trouble grasping the sport. All but a few balls that were served to him were chased after, collected, and bounced unenthusiastically back to the server.

"Okay, just a few more balls and then we can stop for the day," Blaine called. He served a ball to Kurt, who ran enthusiastically for it, but tripped over his own legs and fell face first onto the court. Blaine rushed to his side, thinking Kurt was hurt. When Blaine got to him, much to his surprise, Kurt was laughing uncontrollably. "Did you hit your head?" Blaine asked.

"No. Trust me, I'm fine. But you should have seen your face!" Kurt then burst into another fit of giggles.

"I was worried!" Blaine yelled, gently shoving Kurt.

"I know, I know," Kurt said, rubbing Blaine's back. "Thank you for your worry. Now, can we go home?" Kurt asked, looking up at Blaine with his puppy dog eyes.

"Yes, we can go home," Blaine said, pulling Kurt to his feet. The boys collected the discarded tennis balls and went back to Blaine's car. "Ice cream?" Blaine proposed as he started the car.

"Ooh, yes please!" Kurt squealed giddily. Blaine smiled at his boyfriend's adorableness and they drove out of the park and to their favorite ice cream spot.
