I've always wanted to do a triple update without a reason. So here, have a triple update. This chapter is shorter, though.
"You want to talk?" Kurt re-entered the living room. Liz nodded. "Clayton won't be home till six. It's time for some alone time," she said.
Kurt sat down on the other couch, the one that faced the couch Liz was sitting on. Why did they have so many couches?
"How long?" she asked.
"You mean Blaine and I or me being gay?" Kurt asked, wondering if it was the right thing not to tell his mother that he wasn't Carson.
"Both, I guess," she said.
"Since the beginning," Kurt answered honestly, "I don't remember me not being gay and Blaine, oh Blaine." He smiled to himself.
"We met on my first day of my school. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him. He showed me around the school. A month later, he told me he had feeling for me too. He once quoted to me 'I fell the love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once'."
That wasn't really a lie. They did meet at 'the new school' and Blaine showed him around and he did quote The Fault In Our Stars, but it took him longer than one month and 'the new school' was Dalton Academy.
"That- That is really sweet," Liz said, "Does he treat you right?" Kurt nodded.
Liz stood up. "Ask the kid over for dinner on Saturday," she said and left.
...
Blaine told Carson the next day during glee.
He looked very tense and avoided Carson's eyes. After Brittany had called Blaine out for his hairgel and basically banned it from prom, Blaine raised his hand.
"Mr. Schue, may I talk to Kurt, privately?" he asked and Mr. Schue nodded, because he saw that there was something wrong. Santana noticed it too, so she quickly said: "Wanky!"
Carson followed him to an empty classroom.
"Your mom and I walked in on me and Kurt yesterday," Blaine blurted out.
"…. what?"
"And now she thinks you're gay," Blaine looked at his feet, "I'm so sorry, Kurt." Blaine had never called Carson Kurt before. Well, in public, but this wasn't public. "I initiated the kisses. She sent me away. I have no idea what happened afterwards."
"I'm not Kurt," Carson spat.
"I know."
"I'm not gay!" Carson yelled.
"I know," Blaine said again, "But Kurt, maybe everything worked out? Have you talked to Kurt yet?" "Stop calling me Kurt and no, I haven't!" Carson shouted back, "And I guess my mom is okay with it, I hope, but Clayton…"
Blaine's phone peeped. "It's a text from Carson," he noted, "So it's Kurt and- oh. Your mom wants me to come over for dinner at Saturday and I already have a standing Friday night dinner invitation at yours. Busy week…"
"You go and you better fix it," Carson snapped and stormed out. He angrily passed Noah Puckerman and he went back to the choir room.
When he got home, Barbs was waiting for him in the kitchen. She handed him a glass. "Thanks, Barbs," he accepted it.
"Aren't you worried? I might've poisoned it." But Carson's glass was already empty.
"Kurt, we need to talk," Barbs said shortly, "I know." "Know what?" Carson said absently. "Know everything, Kurt," Barbs continued, "Or should I say, Carson?"
Carson dropped his glass.
...
"I feel so underdressed," was the first thing Kurt said when he opened the door. Then he added, whispering: "Carson has no suits or whatever seems formal. We better switch back for prom night." Blaine just nodded and followed Kurt inside.
"Mom, Clayton, this is Blaine," Kurt introduced him. His mother smiled genuinely. Clayton was clearly watching Blaine.
"Sorry for last time," Liz shook Blaine's hand, "I just didn't expect it." "It's okay, ma'am." "Please, call me Liz," she insisted and Kurt almost cried from happiness.
"I'm Clayton Clinton," Clayton said, "Nice to meet you, Blaine." "Likewise, sir." Clayton just nodded. "Shall we sit down then?" Everyone agreed and Ellen placed a bowl of salad.
"So this is the infamous Blaine," Ellen was a bad actress, but the parents bought it, "Nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you." Kurt resisted the urge to hit her.
"Ellen, you knew about Carson?" Clayton asked. Ellen turned red. "Well, yeah, b-but th-that wasn't my, uh, thing t-to s-say," Ellen stuttered.
Blaine left with a good feeling. Kurt sighed in relief. Clayton had opened his heart when he found out that Blaine really cared about 'Carson'.
"So, that was Blaine," Liz said and Kurt nodded. I love you, mom. "Now I understand why you don't want to move," Clayton joked and Kurt just played along and nodded.
Then, Carson's phone rang.
KURT.
"Be back in a minute," he ran outside. The garden was beautiful. He lay down, started at the stars and answered, "Hey bro, we didn't fuck up."
He expected Carson to sat that he was relieved, but no. He said something else instead.
"Barbs knows!"
Kurt was confused. "What do you mean she knows? What did she do this time?" Kurt rolled his eyes. Barbs is such an idiot.
"No, Kurt, she knows about the switch. She overheard our phone call." Kurt shot up. "What?" "And she knows how important it is to us, so she's not going to tell dad." Kurt sighed deeply. "But she's on her was to Janny and we both know what's going to happen."
"Are we going to tell?"
"Do you want to?"
"No," Kurt answered shortly.
"Me neither."
"So we wait?"
Carson hummed in agreement. "We wait, but keep your eyes open."
