Blaine walked into the small, local pet store while Kurt lingered outside. "What are you doing?" Blaine asked.
"You go get what you need. I'll wait out here," Kurt replied.
Blaine sighed. "I am getting fish food. It'll take five minutes." He pulled Kurt into the store by his wrist.
"They keep the lizards and snakes towards the back. Stay up here with the rabbits and guinea pigs." Blaine strolled casually towards the back of the store and Kurt focused all of his attention on a cage with guinea pigs in it.
Kurt hated pet stores. They always had creepy animals, like snakes or tarantulas, and even though they were in tanks and cages, even being in the same store as them made his skin crawl.
"Hey Kurt, what would you do if I got this," Blaine said.
Kurt covered his eyes. "If you have something gross, I swear…"
"It's not something gross. I would never do that to you."
Kurt turned around very slowly and saw a large hermit crab in Blaine's palm. Kurt took several steps backwards towards the door.
"Put it back, wash your hands, and let's go," Kurt said as calmly as he could.
Blaine was laughing hysterically. "Oh come on, he's cute!" he said.
"That thing is not cute," Kurt said.
Blaine sighed. "Fine." He turned around and went to put it back in its tans. "I guess you're going to have to find a different home, little guy," Blaine mumbled.
Kurt overheard him and giggled.
Blaine came back to the front of the store with his fish food and paid for it and walked back to the car with Kurt. "Are you sure you wouldn't want to cuddle with a hermit crab?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, I'm sure," Kurt replied. They pulled out of the parking lot, and Kurt couldn't have been happier.
