The sweet smell of honey and mangos pulled Kurt from his short trance. He kept his eyes shut, trying to fall back asleep. It was comfortably warm, which made it easier for him to drift away. There was a low beeping sound that went off, making Kurt groan. He finally opened his eyes to find out where the beeping noise was coming from, but what he noticed first was a certain curly-haired boy had his arms wrapped around himself. He immediately tensed, wondering where he had come from, but relaxed once he remembered. The beeping finally stopped, and he smiled to himself. He pulled one of Blaine's arms off himself, moving it ever-so-gently. The boy moved in his sleep, turning his back towards Kurt. Kurt grinned wider, before closing his own eyes, trying his hardest to fall back asleep. "Kurt, are you down there?"

Kurt's eyes shot open as he heard his dad call from the top of the stairs. "Shit!" He whispered frantically. He jumped up off his bed. "Uh, yeah dad!" He responded. He threw a pillow at Blaine, but the boy stayed asleep, not moving at all. If his dad caught boy, a boy he just met mind you, in his bed, Kurt would never hear the end of it. He went to the other side of the bed and shook Blaine's shoulders. "Hey. Wake up! My dad is home."

"What..." Blaine mumbled slowly, opening his eyes to see a frantic Kurt looking back down at him in panic. Footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs, causing Blaine to sit up quickly. Kurt pushed him out of the bed and into his bathroom.

"Kurt, whose car is that out front? And who brought you home again?" His dad asked, flipping through the mail in his hands. Kurt fixed his blazer and pants before his dad looked at him.

"Oh... Um, Blaine- he... Blaine brought me home." Kurt stuttered.

"New friend?" Burt asked. Kurt only nodded, not trusting his own voice anymore. "Is that his car?" Burt set the mail on the nightstand. Kurt hesitated before nodding again. "Which means he's still here... Where's the boy at?" Burt smiled, rubbing his hand over his bald head before putting his cap back on.

'Kurt already made a friend.' Burt thought to himself with a smile. "Um, he's in the bathroom. I didn't want him to go back driving in the storm. We were just watching a movie dad." Kurt fibbled smoothly. Burt held up his hand.

"That's fine, Kurt." His dad gave him a smile. "Well, just make sure he gets home at a decent time and you are upstairs for dinner soon." Burt gave Kurt a serious look before grabbing the mail again and walking back upstairs. Kurt waited until he heard his dad turn on the tv, probably Deadliest Catch, before going and to get Blaine.

"I'm sorry about that..." He told him, sitting back on the bed. Blaine stood in front of him, a worried expression gracing his face.

"It's fine... he sounded nice. Like he trusts you."

"He does..." Kurt removed his tie, tossing it away with his blazer. "We fell asleep." He told Blaine.

"I know. To be honest, it was the best sleep I had in a while." Blaine ruffled his curls with a sigh, sitting next to Kurt. They sat there for a few minutes, enjoying the silence. Blaine took out his phone to check the time. "I better head home. It's almost seven." He stood up and stretched his arms. Kurt stood up too, really not wanting him to leave, but nodded. "Here give me your number." Blaine handed Kurt his phone and watched as the boy typed out his name and number in there.

"Here you go sir." Kurt said with a smile. Blaine shook his head and fixed Kurt's name, putting a heart next to it. Then Kurt playfully nudged him, and he let out a small giggle.

"I'll text you when I get home. See you tomorrow?" Blaine said, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, just for something to do.

"Yep. Be safe and don't go speeding on those slick streets." Kurt warned, folding his arms.

"Yes sergeant." He mocked, giving Kurt a salute. Kurt chuckled, before saluting back. Blaine smiled, shaking his head. He was really glad to have met Kurt. "Well, you better go..." Kurt said, his smile fading. He was really attached to Blaine. He was finding he really enjoyed his comforting presence.

"Yeah," Blaine said as he pocketed his phone and opened his arms wide. "Give papa a hug."

"You're stupid, Blaine." Kurt said with a smile and a roll of his eyes, but he wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck nonetheless, hugging him tightly. He noticed how relaxed Blaine was once he hugged Kurt around his waist. "Don't forget homework tonight." Kurt said.

Blaine pulled back. "Oh shit, you're right! I'll text you later Kurt, goodnight!" Blaine hurriedly gathered his things before bounding up the stairs, taking two at a time.

B bKurt sighed and laid back on his bed. "Way to ruin the moment." He said to himself.

"So this Blaine boy..." Burt started.

Kurt rolled his eyes and looked towards his father. "He's a friend I met today. I even met other friends. There's Jeff, he's such a dingleberry, and Nick, he's super smart, and David, he won't stop talking, but he's so sweet. And they took me to-"

"And Blaine." His dad cut him off.

"And Blaine," Kurt said with a sigh, twisting his noodles onto his fork. "What about him?"

"Nothing. He watched the baseball game before he left. He seems like a good kid." Burt replied.

Kurt's phone pimged with an incoming text from Blaine.

*I can't do this by myself ):* -Blaine

Kurt smiled as he typed out a reply.

*I'll help you after I eat dinner.*-Kurt

"Oh, he did?" Kurt set his phone on his lap and started eating his dinner as fast as he could.

"Woah, slow down there kiddo!" His dad said with a smile. "I haven't seen you eat like that since... Well ever."

"Sorry dad," he slurped. "I just remembered I have homework tonight." He grabbed his phone as it vibrated and took his plate to his sink. "It'll probably take me all night, so don't wait up for me." He ran to the stairs and slid down the railing. He grabbed his folder and instantly called Blaine. He picked up in the first ring, making Kurt like him even more.

"What's up?" Blaine asked into his phone. He didn't mean to answer it that fast, but he desperately wanted to hear Kurt's voice. Blaine sat at his desk, his thick unruly curls wet from his shower.

"Homework, remember?" Kurt reminded him and it made him grin.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."

"You are such a nerd, I swear." Kurt said, putting Blaine on speaker.

"I actually am. I finished the homework before my shower. I just wanted to see if you'd call me and you did." Kurt could hear the smile in Blaine's voice and that made him smile in return.

"Are you serious?" Kurt said, trying to make himself sound angry, but failing miserably.

"I'll send it to you later. I just wanted to hear your sweet voice before I crash." Blaine leaned back in his rolling chair, and he stifled a yawn.

"You are such a flirt." Kurt sighed into the phone.

"It's a blessing and a curse." Blaine sighed dramatically, playing around.

"Well... Send me the work now before I fall asleep." Kurt yawned, realizing that he was getting tired, too. He really wanted to see Blaine.

"Let's go somewhere." Blaine said into the phone as if reading Kurt's mind

. "Okay." Kurt answered a little too quickly. "Wait... My dad is still up. He should be sleep around eleven." He heard Blaine sigh.

"I can't wait- that's fine." He corrected himself quickly, dropping his flannel on his bed. "Just call me back when you think he's asleep. I'm gonna try to take a nap, and I think you should, too." Blaine laid back down, his heart calming.

"Yeah, I was gonna say the same. I'll call you later Blaine."

"Okay."

"Okay." Kurt hung up the phone, leaving Blaine to hang up next. The curly-haired boy was falling for Kurt every second they chatted. He set his alarm for 10:30 and forced himself to stop thinking about Kurt. Around 8:30, he finally drifted to sleep, imagining Kurt was sleeping right in his arms.
