Meet the Parents

"Kurt... Kurt, are you okay?" Blaine reached over to take Kurt's hand across the lima bean table top.

"Umm... Sorry I spaced out there. Yes?" Kurt blushed.

"Is something that matter with your McKinley friends?" Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand gently to show he cared. "We were just talking about the drama of New Directions and you froze."

"No, nothings wrong with them, it's just that I miss them so much. We were talking about them and it sort of washed over me." Kurt smiled at him hesitantly before continuing "But it's not like I would miss you if I left Dalton."

"Babe, you know you wouldn't lose me if you back to McKinley. I could come visit you and you could always come back and visit at Dalton. We would make it work." Blaine smiled across the table at his gorgeous boyfriend. The blush spreading again across Kurt's face as he looked up at his eyes.

"Anyway I know we always come here for coffee and talk but I actually brought you here for a special purpose." Blaine stopped speaking as he saw Kurt freeze again. He was holding his breathe waiting for the rest of Blaine's thought to be aired. "It's not bad... necessarily!" grimacing as he couldn't lie totally to Kurt. "You remeber how you have been asking lately when you can meet my parents?"

"Yeah, you always say you don't think it is a good idea yet" Kurt unfroze and took a breath as he spoke. "I know you don't have the same relationship I have with my dad, you told me that but I still want to meet them."

Blaine looked down at the table as he struggled to finish what he had started now. Why did it have to be so hard? Here was the boy he loved, the boy he wanted to spend all his time with but words came with increasing difficulty. "Well you have a chance now. My parent's have invited me back for dinner Friday night. They said they would like to meet you" He finished lamely.

"Blaine" Kurt breathed. "Blaine please look at me." Blaine slowly looked up at his boyfriends face. "I would love to meet your parents" Kurt squealed. Then bringing his voice back down so as not to keep disturbing the other customers at the lima bean "But only if you want me too."

Silence passd for a moment as they looked at each other. Kurt's face slowly fell as Blaine had yet to respond. "Of course I want you to" Blaine sighed "It's just I don't want you to break up with me if you don't like them. I am not ready to give you up as my boyfriend."

"Do you really think so little of me Blaine?" Kurt pretended to be hurt before smiling widely. "I love you and I am not ready to let you go yet either." He leaned across to give Blaine a kiss. Keeping it short and gentle as he remembered where they were.

"I love you too."

"How did your dad take the news that you would be missing a Friday night dinner?" Blaine glanced over at Kurt. Sitting in the passenger seat next to him fidgeting in the seat.

"At first he was angry. He thought I was just trying to avoid them. Then I explained I was going to be meeting your parents and he seemed to understand." A small smile lighting up his face.

Lapsing back into silence for a few minutes they boys were both nervous. "So..." ventured Kurt, nerves getting the better of him. "Is there anything I should know about your parents before I meet them?"

Blaine considered this for a moment biting down on his bottom lip. "Yeah there are a few things I should probably mention before we get there." He heard Kurt swallow harshly. "Well as you already know my father and I aren't as close as you and your dad. I think that I told you he openly disapproved of my coming out right?"

"Yeah, you have told me" Kurts voice thick with emotion.

"He still doesn't approve of my dating boys. My mother on the other hand doesn't mind so long as I am happy. I am fairly certain that I got told to invite you to dinner due only to her insiting they should meet you." Blaine heard his words as they left his mnouth and worried instantly that he had hurt Kurts feelings. Taking his eyes of the road he glanced over. Kurt's eyes were glistening but it didn't look like he was crying yet. "Kurt that came out badly please don't cry."

Kurt sniffed and gave a dry cough. "Sorry, it's alright I know you didn't mean it that way." Taking a moment he slowed his breathing. "Okay, please continue."

Reluctanly Blaine spoke again "Well as we got the day off from Dalton we are going to be there earlier than dinner. I thought maybe you could spend some time at my place. Maybe get to know my mom. Dad isn't a monster. He is not like Karofsky. He just thinks that it is shameful to have a son that is gay. I guess you could say he just isn't as supportive of me as Burt is to you."

Kurt quietly thought over their conversation while looking out the window. It was a sunny afternoon in Ohio and the temperature was perfect. Suddenly the car slowed and he looked round to see what was wrong.

Blaine looked over apprehensive of Kurt's opinion, but as time was almost out he took a deep breath and decided to get it over with. Crap! What if this messed everything up between them. "Kurt there is one more thing you should know before we arrive." Blaine continued driving up the driveway. "I didn't want to tell you before because I didn't want anything to change between us. I am sort of rich."

Kurt's eyebrow seemed to rise but apart from that Blaine got no respone. "Please Kurt say something"

Smiling hugely he chuckled at his boyfriends face. "It doesn't matter Blaine i dont care about that. I care about you, but just so I know. How rich are we talking?"

Blaine almost smiled. "Umm... really rich. You will probably get an idea in a second we are almost there. The drive is a bit long but it gives us some privacy."

Kurt nodded. "Yeah it doesn't matter if you are really rich, I don't care about that."

"Glad to hear" it Blaine smiled.

"Wait!" exclaimed Kurt as all of Blaines words sunk in. "This is the drive to your house?" Looking around he would have thought he was just driving through the country.

"My family have a rather extensive property."
