Thank you for the positive reviews. :) That makes me really happy, and now I feel like I can't write fast enough. I'm that much more eager to write now. :)

Blaine stood awkwardly between Kurt and Finn, unsure of what to say. The step-brothers glared at each other over his head. 'Am I really that much shorter than Kurt?' He looked down to Kurts feet. 'Oh. He's wearing boots. Makes sense.'
"Did you have to tag along, Finn?" Kurt crossed his arms and wore his best bitch face, "You even admitted that you weren't buying anything. We came here to shop, you know that, right?" Finn shot back with a mumbled, 'I don't know. Burt said somethin about supervision before throwing me twenty bucks and car keys'. Kurts eyes widened, "Wait, you got twenty bucks out of this? And why would I need supervision? We're in a freaking mall!"
Before things got too heated, Blaine slipped away from the duo, completely unnoticed. 'Good thing they decided to start arguing in the middle of the food court.' He walked up to a short line leading to a burger joint, and decided to order a double bacon cheese burger for Finn. After playing for the food, he rushed over to a coffee stand and ordered two drinks; a regular coffee for himself, and something that sounded really sweet and chocolatey for Kurt. He walked back to the step-brothers to find that they had stopped arguing, and were now sitting patiently at a table. Blaine set the goods on the table before taking a seat next to Kurt, "Here, I got you guys stuff."
"Woah, dude, thanks!" Finn pulled his burger out of the wrapper and took a huge bite, "I wath wonderin whur you wenth," he said, his mouth full of food. Kurt slapped him on the arm for talking with food in his mouth, before thanking Blaine for the coffee. Finn had finished the burger before either Blaine or Kurt had even touched their coffees. "So...Shopping..." he looked from Kurt to Blaine, then back to Kurt, "How long is this gonna take?"
Kurt signed, "Well, I could shop for hours..." He chuckled when both Blaine and Finn made horrible faces, "but...I only saved up a hundred bucks, so we'll stop at the one store Blaine wanted to visit, and one, maybe two stores for me. But two would be pushing it a little..." Finns face had gone blank when Kurt had mentioned having so much money, so he decided to elaborate, "Hey, I work with my dad in the garage, and I save my money. Unlike some people, Finn." Now Blaines face was blank, trying to imagine Kurt working on cars. (.com/art/GreaseMonkey-Kurt-206410305?q=gallery%3ALanna367&qo=0 I had to mention something about Kurt in the garage after seeing this.) Kurt sighed and stood from his seat, grabbing his drink, "Come on Blaine, lets get this over with before Finn complains."
The Gryffindor vest that Blaine had wanted was located at Hot Topic, which was right next to the food court. Blaine immediately went to search for his vest, while Kurt casually strolled over to the skinny jeans, just to the left of the entrance. Finn stood in the doorway, eyes wide, and nearly shaking. 'Note to self: Never let yourself get dragged in here again.' Kurt looked at him and laughed, and pointed to a rack next to the skinny jeans; a huge display of band t-shirts. 'Okay, maybe it's not that bad...'
Kurt had decided to spend his money on jeans and a few shirts while they were at Hot Topic, which dramatically cut the shopping time. Blaine hugged his bag to his chest as they walked out the door. Kurt noticed that he was practically glowing. Blaine smiled brightly, "I'm so happy now."
"I can't wait to see it on you, "Kurt smiled at his friend, watching as he tried to cover a blush by turning the other way. He giggled, "I think Finn's just happy that we finished so quickly. And I'm very satisfied; I've never purchased anything from there before." He smiled to himself as they walked out to his car. Once everyone was in, Kurt started the car, "Anything else you guys want to do before brunch?"
Pulling the seat belt over his lap, Finn shifted in his seat, too talk for the back seat. "I told Puck I'd play Call of Duty with him, so I vote go home." Kurt frowned a little bit, but Blaine smiled, mildly interested, "You guys can play too. I have two controllers and I can ask Puck to bring both of his. We could always use more players.
"I love Call of Duty! I used to play it with Wes and David," Blaine smiled, remember good times, "But it's been a while; don't blame me if I suck." Kurt frowned again. They had been spending an awful lot of their free time together. Was he the reason Blaine didn't play anymore? Had he been too clingy and needy? Blaine turned to Kurt, "Have you ever played?"
Kurt shook his head, "No, I've never been too into video games. The only system I owned before Finn moved in was a Game Boy Color my dad bought me when I was little." This got the other boys started on a fifteen minute discussion about their favorite Game Boy Color games. Kurt interjected every couple of minutes, whenever they would bring up Pokemon(the only game Kurt ever actually played and enjoyed).
Once home, Finn went straight to calling Puck, inviting him over, Kurt and Blaine rushing inside to show Carole what they had bought. Kurt changed into his new jeans and one of his new shirts, and walked out into the living room as if he were a model on a runway. His father laughed and clapped enthusiastically, playing along, and Carole complimented him on the choice of colors. Before she could say anything else, she burst out laughing as Blaine walked in to the room in a similar fashion to Kurt, now wearing his new vest. Puck walked in through the front door and wolf-whistled, "Hey boys, lookin' good!" He winked at Blaine, making him blush. "Mornin' Burt, Carole. Finn downstairs?"
Carole stood from her chair, "Yeah, can you call him up for me? Brunch is ready." She smiled and walked into the kitchen, getting the food out of the oven. This time, both Kurt and Blaine moved to the kitchen and set the table before Carole could refuse the help. Soon, everyone had piled in, ready to eat. Conversation consisted of mainly Puck and Finn telling stories about the New Directions since Kurt left, and Kurt and Blaine telling stories about the Warblers. Blaine was starting to catch on to the names of Kurts friends, and was understanding why Kurt missed them so much. At least he was fitting in well at Dalton. Once everyone was done eating, Carole stood and started clearing away plates, "Okay boys, go play your silly games. Burt and I will take care of this." Finn and Puck raced downstairs, Kurt and Blaine following not far behind.

I had more written, but then decided to stop here. I decided to split it into two chapters, so that it wouldn't be too long. Hope you liked it. :)
