Todd beat his hands restlessly against the armrests of his chair as he slowly sank into it. He stared up at the ceiling, his head swimming with paranoid thoughts.
"Liebling, please don't do that. I'm trying to rest."
The frog-like mutant glanced over at his boyfriend who had his head against the pillow, lying sideways and facing Todd. "Fuzzy, I can't help it. I'm freakin' out over here."
"I already told you—"
"Yeah, yeah, you told me, you told me. Well, I'm not gonna believe what ya told me 'til I sees it fo' mahself."
Kurt rolled his eyes before snuggling more into his pillow. "Try not to think about it."
"I'm in a plane, Blue-boy. How can I not think 'bout it?"
The furry mutant (now in disguise since they were surrounded by people on the plane) gave a sigh as he pushed the armrest separating the two of them up, reached over, grabbed Todd, and pulled him up against his body.
"H-Hey! What're ya doin'—"
"Hush up," Kurt mumbled as he cuddled Todd against him like a teddy bear, his arms around Todd's waist. "Get some sleep, frosch."
Todd gave his best expression of 'I am not amused', aiming it directly at his boyfriend who unfortunately ignored it and shut his eyes once more. The teen sighed and ended up laying his head against Kurt's chest. His position wasn't the most comfortable, but being curled up with Kurt made it just a little more bearable.
Still, Todd knew he wouldn't be sleeping anytime soon. He was too terrified about what would happen when the plane landed. Who he would meet at that airport in the morning and what they would think of him raged on his mind as he reflected on when he'd first heard the "terrific" news about where he would be spending his Christmas this year…
"Hey, fuzzball!" Todd yelled as he hopped through his boyfriend's window, landing gracefully and even throwing his arms up in a 'ta-da!' fashion.
"Shhh!"
Todd blinked in confusion as he let his arms down and stared at his lover, who was on the phone at his desk, glaring at him irritably before turning around and speaking something in German. Todd knew very little German with the exception of some of the little nicknames Kurt called him or some German phrases he would mumble under his breath every now and then, so had little to no idea what Kurt was saying.
As Kurt talked, Todd made himself comfy on the blue mutant's bed, snuggling himself in the mound of pillows and blankets. He always loved to make himself at home when he came to the Institute to see his boyfriend. Kurt always took a good couple hours at the boarding house to get comfortable enough, no matter how many times he'd been there prior, which Todd could never seem to understand, since he had no trouble making himself at home here, especially in Kurt's bedroom.
Finally, after a few minutes of weird German babble, Kurt finally hung up the phone, putting it back on the receiver. Then, he turned around to see Todd lying completely sprawled out on the bed.
"All comfy cozy, are we?" Kurt teased slightly, a hint of a smirk appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Why don't ya come over here an' see fo' yerself?" Todd asked with a dirty grin.
Kurt snorted, but headed over and cuddled up to him, affectionately nuzzling against his neck.
"So what was all that about?"
"I was talking to mein parents."
"An' how are they?" Todd asked politely.
"Fine. They are excited to see me next week for Christmas."
Todd sighed, irked by the reminder. "Yeah, an' then you'll be gone fo' two weeks."
"Yes…und you will be with me."
"…wait, what?!" Todd suddenly yelled once the message had fully sunk in and shot up in bed.
Kurt smirked as he sat up as well and dipped his head down to nuzzled under Todd's chin. "I asked if I could introduce you to them and they said, 'Yes'."
"Who asked me if I was okay with this?!"
Kurt pulled away, fixing Todd with a sad stare. "Please, liebchen? For the holidays?"
"Uh-uh," Todd said with a firm shake of his head. "Hell naw! Ain't no way I'm gonna get roped intah this!"
The frog-like mutant tried his best to glance away, but his head looked only slightly in Kurt's direction, forcing him to see just about the saddest expression the blue mutant had ever made. His ears had drooped ever so slightly, his eyebrows were knit tightly together, and his eyes were becoming more shiny, meaning there was a good chance he was about to start crying.
Then, Kurt glanced away and mumbled, "…okay…it was just a thought…I just wanted to show them the man I love…"
Well, fuck.
With an irritated sigh, Todd said, "Okay, fine. I'll go."
The next thing Todd felt was being promptly pounced on by Kurt and his back hitting the mattress roughly before he was kissed senseless as Kurt mumbled in-between dizzying smooches, "Danke…mmm, danke, danke, mein liebling. You will not regret this!"
At the moment, Todd was currently regretting how he gave into Kurt's request; there was just something in those eyes, especially when they got all watery, that just made him wanna…just give him every single thing he wanted.
Todd knew that was ridiculous as he barely had any money to spare (most of it being used for the Brotherhood's grocery shopping days), but if he did have the money or could find the money somewhere…god, he'd give Kurt everything.
When they'd first started going out, Todd would have found this idea mushy and stupid. After all, he'd been looking out for only himself most of his life and the thought of wasting time to make someone else feel happy didn't seem very logic.
He'd decided a while ago the whole thing probably went along with the old saying, "People do crazy things when they're in love." He could at least accept that as an excuse for his own behavior.
Returning to his current predicament, however, Todd sighed again as he thought about how the meeting with Kurt's parents would go. Kurt had told him months and months ago how he had admitted to them that he was dating a guy and while they hadn't been very happy when he'd first given the news, they eventually settled on how much they loved their adopted son very dearly and were going to support him as best they could, despite that their beliefs did not agree with his choices. Kurt mentioned during that last phone call that they seemed much more accepting than last time and were both very excited to meet him.
"It will be fine, liebe," Kurt said suddenly, making Todd flinch a bit.
"I thought ya was sleepin'."
"I can't sleep if you don't. You know that."
Todd blew an invisible strand of hair out of his face and cuddled up more against Kurt, happy that even though he had his disguise on, he could still feel that wonderful fur underneath. "Yeah…I jus' don't think I'll be sleepin' anytime soon, babe."
He heard Kurt give a sigh, but was then cuddled even closer. "Then I'll stay awake with you."
"But ya…" Todd broke off to yawn. "…ya need tah get some sleep, too, man."
"I won't go to sleep until you do. Aren't you at all tired?"
"Course I'm tired, sweets, but I can't sleep. I can't stop thinkin' 'bout this whole thing."
Kurt's eyes softened as he kissed the top of Todd's head sweetly. "Todd, no matter what happens, worrying yourself into a tizzy over it will not help. Besides, do you really want to meet my parents looking like you haven't slept?"
"…yeah, I guess that wouldn't make the best first impression, huh?"
Kurt smiled. "Get some sleep, frosch. We will be there in the morning."
Todd curled up more under Kurt and shut his eyes, pushing away the troubles of tomorrow and focusing on Kurt's soft fur. Before he knew it, he was asleep, with Kurt following his lead not long after.
A/N: So, I decided to repost this story, since I felt Kurt's accent was much to thick and there were grammar mistakes. Hopefully I've fixed those and I'm happy to say that I do what to continue this story again! I hope everyone is excited for me and thank you all for waiting so patiently!
Anyways, here's the first chapter, mostly just a neat summary of what the heck is going on and how freaked out Todd is. After all, he hasn't been very good with "first time parents meetings" in the past...I really do feel kinda bad for poor Amanda...and the Seftons, actually. Anyways, the Wagners will be in the next chapter! Thanks for reading! Leave a review if you wish!
