Two Daddies

Chapter IX:

 Kurt turned to Adrian:

"Now, Young Men, what should we do today?"

Adrian looked pondering at Kurt:

"Could we watch The Sound of Music?"

Kurt laughed:

"Oh Mine! You really liked that movie, didn't you? But I'm afraid we don't have it at home. I think I left my copy in Ohio."

"That's a shame."

"Indeed. But if I remember well I might have something you will probably like..."

Kurt looked at some wardrobes searching for an old DVD. He finally found it along with other stuff from the Glee Club. Adrian anxiously waited him in the living room. Kurt turned on the TV and enjoyed Ady's astonished face when the first images appeared:

"But Daddy; it's you! And Daddy B! You're dancing on TV!"

Kurt was amazed by his son's reaction:

"Yes, Sweetie. We filmed it when we were in High School together. It was a Christmas special. But wait, the best is yet to come."

Kurt sat down on the couch with the little one's head on his shoulder. In those moments of familiar intimacy he could tell why he was getting into so much trouble for that boy. Adrian was his son; no doubt about that. Kurt was lost in toughs and caressing Ady's hair when Rachel showed up at the TV. Ady gasped out loud. He couldn't contain his excitement when they started to sing My Favorite Things. When it finished, he turned to his father with his eyes sparkling with fascination:

"You were part of the movie?"

Kurt found it the most amazing thing in the world:

"Not quite."

Adrian was suddenly quiet and dropped his eyes. Kurt ran his fingers through his son's hair:

"What's wrong, Sweet Prince? Didn't you like it?"

Adrian had something his was struggling to tell Kurt. He gazed at his hands as he asked his father:

"Daddy, is that true that our favorite things can make we feel better?"

"Of course, Honey. What's your favorite thing in the world?"

Adrian didn't hesitate to answer:

"Fiyero! And yours Daddy?"

"You! And your father, of course."

Ady grabbed his hand:

"But I like Fiyero because you gave him to Daddy B and then he gave it to me. To protect me."

Kurt looked puzzled into Ady's eyes:

"Ady, why don't you go get Fiyero and come back here so we can talk?"

Adrian went to his room but never came back. Kurt followed him. Ady was crying hugging the dog. Kurt sat on the bed along with him:

"What's wrong?"

"Am I being punished?"

"Of course not; you haven't done anything wrong. Why do you say that?"

"Because I can't go to school."

Kurt sighed. He hasn't realized how this could directly affect Adrian's mood:

"There have been some problems at school. Grown up stuff. Everything will go back to normal. Maybe you'll have to go to another school..."

"I don't want that. I like my school."

"Tell me, Ady, how did people treated you at school? Did someone say anything about you? About your drawings?"

"People like me. I have a lot of friends. Melissa says she likes my drawings..."

He immediately covered his mouth with his hands like he had let slip something he shouldn't tell. Kurt started to wonder the reason behind Adrian's behavior:

"Ady, is Melissa your girlfriend?"

Ady looked surprised:

"No Daddy! She is my best friend."

Kurt smirked and begun to talk while pretending he was very interested in one of Adrian's teddy bears:

"You know Ady, Daddy Blaine used to be my best friend. Until one day I realized I felt especially warm in my heart every time I saw him...."

Adrian said nothing. Kurt excused himself saying he would prepare their lunch. When he was crossing the door, Adrian called him:

"Daddy Kurt? Is it okay if I like a girl?"

Kurt grimed:

"Sure, Sweetie. Any girl would be extremely lucky if you chose her to be your girlfriend."

Ady blushed. Kurt left but could hear Ady talking to Fiyero:

"If I ever have a girlfriend I want it to be Melissa because her hair smells nice."
