Late update because I foolishly didn't take my laptop with me when I went to visit family today, believing we'd return early while we obviously did not. Sorry, lovelies.
Kid!Klaine, yay! They're about eleven years old in this drabble, and it's so fluffy I'm going to collapse.
Popsicles and Butterfly Kisses
Kurt looked contentedly at Blaine when they sat down on the bench in Blaine's back yard, the popsicles Blaine's mom gave them melting in their hands. It was a hot summer day, and while Blaine couldn't possibly stand this heat any longer, he scooted closer to Kurt with a coy smile.
Kurt smiled back through a bite of his popsicle- Blaine could never understand how he did that, every time he tried, the ice froze his teeth- and nudged his shoulder.
It was so new. Everyone in their class had girlfriends, and so they decided, since both thought girls were eww, that they should be boyfriends. When Kurt came over, they cheerfully announced the news to Blaine's mom, who had a look on her face that neither understood, but then she smiled at them and offered them popsicles, and their afternoon had been delightful.
Blaine gazed up at the clear blue sky, thinking happy thoughts as he licked his popsicle happily. When his eyes returned to Kurt, the boy was frowning.
"What's wrong?" he asked, surprised at Kurt's sudden change in mood.
Kurt huffed. "Can I… Can we hold hands?"
"Of course!" Blaine was excited- besides Tina, no one ever wanted to hold his hand. They quickly reached out for each other, giggling when their sticky hands clasped together.
It was nice, eating their cold, fruity-tasting popsicles and sharing joyful gazes, enjoying the light summer breeze. They swung their hands back and forth between them, feeling giddy and carefree.
"Hey, Kurt?" asked Blaine after looking into the depth of his half-eaten popsicle for a few seconds.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever kissed anyone?"
Kurt shook his head, taking another bite of colorful ice. "No. Mercedes told me she wanted to kiss me, but I don't really like like her. And I think Sam wants to kiss her, so I told her that. I think she was a little disappointed, but she said it's okay and that she'd like to kiss Sam so that's okay, too."
Blaine nodded to himself. "And would you like to… maybe kiss me? Because ya'know, we're boyfriends now, so that's cool. But- but you don't have to, though, it's fine if you don't," he added quickly, concerned.
Kurt beamed at him. "I think it would be very nice to kiss you." He paused for a moment, thinking. "But… I don't really know how. Have you ever kissed anyone?"
"No," Blaine shook his head, licking a drop of sweet liquid before it could drop onto his hand. "I've seen once, in one of mom's grown-up movies, two people kissing. But I don't think I'd like that," he scrunched his face. "It was like they were trying to eat each other's faces."
Kurt busted into a fit of laughter, and Blaine couldn't stop himself from laughing as well. It was funny, thinking of two people trying to eat each other's faces.
When their giggles faded, Blaine continued. "Anyway, we could maybe kiss like dad kisses mom before he leaves for work. He goes like 'mwah'-" he demonstrated, pouting and closing his eyes as he blew a kiss into the air, "and then mom smiles when she tells him to drive safe."
"That sounds nice," Kurt smiled. "We can do that." His heart was beating a little faster, and butterflies filled his stomach. He liked the feeling- it was new, and happy, and he wanted to always feel like this.
Blaine took a breath, steadying himself- and leaned in, closing his eyes before Kurt did, and then their lips touched, and it was the most perfect thing each of them has ever felt. It tasted like summer and sugar and popsicles and the sun burnt behind their closed eyelids.
When they pulled back, huge smiles stretched their lips. A shiver ran down Kurt's spine, and he giggled. "That was nice."
Blaine nodded, biting his lip shyly. His stomach was as butterfly-filled as Kurt's. "I'm happy that you're my boyfriend."
"I'm happy you're mine, too."
