âOh no. No no no no. Itâs not happening. Itâs not happening.â Kurt thought to himself, looking in panic around the store. He looked away for one second. One second. But clearly, it was enough for Colin to disappear.
âRachel, I lost our childâ he said as soon as his best friend answered her phone. âI have no idea how it happened⌠Yes! I know Rach, but - No! What is wrong with you?! Heâs four years old, he would definitely not go to pub! Why did you even suggest such things!â He looked under some coats. Nothing. âYes, yes, Iâm already on my way to - wait. I call you later.â
Just as Kurt was about to go to the register and ask for help, he saw a young man crouching in front of a little boy. His boy.
âColin!â He yelled, running in their direction and protectively taking his son into his arms. âWhat were you thinking! I was so scaredâŚâ
âDaddy! Iâm sorry.â Colin said, his lips trembling dangerously. He snuggled closer to his chest and started crying.
âOkay, buddy, itâs okay. Just donât do that again.â Kurt patted his back and then turned to the man, who still stood next to them. âThank you, sir, for finding him! I was so scarred someone kidnapped himâŚâ
âI understandâ he said with a smile. âYour son is a really nice boy. He offered me his help with finding a gift for my mother.â
âDid he, now?â Kurt smiled, relived his son at least had some manners. âIâm sorry for that, by the way. I just turned for one second andâŚâ
âHey, donât worry. Iâm a teacher in kindergarten, I definitely knowhow it feel to lost a kid.â The man looked at Colin, and then back at Kurt. âActually, he mentioned youâre a fashion designer? Would that be a trouble for you to help me? I really donât know what to get for my mom.â He blushed, nervously scrapping the back of his neck.
âIâd love to!â Kurt exclaimed, a bit too fast. Blame him, this guy was smoking hot and Kurt was practicing celibacy for way too long. âI mean, no, itâs not trouble at all. Iâm Kurt, and this is Colin.â
The man shook his hand, holding it a bit longer than necessary.
