Kurt closed his laptop in frustration. “Why is this so hard?” he asked. “Boys’ clothing lines are all either horrid-looking or impractical. Sometimes both. A garish t-shirt with a monster truck, or a dry-clean-only fragile cashmere sweater. It’s ridiculous. I don’t have any idea what I’m going to put Colin in this season.”

Blaine walked over and rubbed his shoulder. “I’m sure you’ll find something fabulous.”

Kurt looked up at him from the desk chair. “I just don’t know. I do not doubt my ability to find the most fabulous thing available, but I’m starting to think there’s just nothing out there. I want something that’s stylish and age-appropriate, and that won’t get torn to shreds the first time he wears it out of the house.”

“Well,” Blaine pulled out a sketch pad out of the desk drawer and set it in front of Kurt. “Then design it yourself.”

Kurt tapped his fingers on the desk thoughtfully. He opened the sketch pad to the first blank page, then reached for a pencil. He bounced the eraser end on the desk a few times, then flipped the pencil over and began to draw light lines on the page.

Blaine smiled as he watched the ideas take form. This was going to be Colin’s best wardrobe yet.
