Kurt's superstar playlist was playing as he donned his new outfit that Mercedes had helped him pick out: black skinny jeans, a long black trench coat that flared from the waist, black converse and a grey fedora.
After he had done his hair he came down the stairs to help set the table. Finn asked why he was wearing a rain coat inside and Kurt rolled his eyes.
What was the occasion for this fabulous outfit you ask, reader? Well for one Kurt always looks fabulous and two he would especially look fabulous if Blaine was coming to meet his family right?
Soon enough the table was set and it was two minutes to seven. Burt was sitting at the head of the table, dressed casually in plaid and a baseball cap. Carole sat on his right, dressed by Kurt in a pair of jeans and a pretty blue blouse. On her right sat Finn in his football jersey. Kurt sat on Burt's left as he waited for Blaine to arrive.
When the doorbell rang Kurt sprang up to answer it and Burt rolled his eyes. His son had been edgy all evening.
"Hey Blaine" Kurt greeted his boyfriend
"Hi" Blaine was nervous and trying not to show it, but failing miserably.
Kurt led Blaine in to the dining room where Carole was serving dinner. Burt stood up to shake Blaine's hand
"Nice to meet you Blaire" Burt greeted him
"its Blaine dad" Kurt whispered mortified. Blaine stifled a laugh
"Good to meet you too sir" Blaine shook Burt's hand politely
"Call me Burt" Burt insisted
"Hello" Carole gave Blaine a warm hug which pleasantly surprised him "Nice to meet you sweetie"
"Nice to meet you too Mrs. Hummel" Blaine grinned
"Carole dear" She insisted
"Sup" Finn nodded to Blaine, not bothering to stand
"Hi" Blaine said unsure of what to say to Finn
"I'm Finn" Finn extended his fist to Blaine, who bumped it.
"Well lets eat" Kurt said hurriedly sitting down next to his boyfriend
They all tucked into their lasagna.
"This is lovely lasagna Mrs. Hummel" Blaine told Kurt's step mother
"Carole dear, and thankyou" Carole positively beamed
"Sorry, Carole"
"That's better" Blaine smiled at Kurt
"So how did you two meet?" Carole asked
"Do you want to tell the story?" Blaine asked Kurt
"Yeah I'll tell it" Kurt set down his knife and fork "So it was back in New Directions, we received an assignment to do a mash up in teams – girls versus boys. I wanted to be on the girls team and Mr. Schuester told me no but to try and make it fairer to me he told us that the boys had to perform songs traditionally sung by girls and visa versa." Kurt took a breath "None of the guys liked my ideas so they suggested that I go spy on the competition. I think they never expected I'd actually do it but I did. I pretended to be a new kid but I got a little lost so I asked one of the kids for help finding the Warblers. He told me that they were doing an impromptu performance which surprised me because at McKinley If we did that we'd get suspended or egged. He told me that at Dalton, the Warblers were like Rock God's." Burt choked on his lasagne
"Slight exaggeration" Blaine whispered looking mortified
"So I watched their performance of Teenage Dream and absolutely fell in love with the lead singer. Of course they figured out I was a spy and took me out to coffee which I thought was pretty civilized. Turns out they didn't even beat me up. The lead guy though asked me if I was unhappy at my school. I told him all about it and he gave me the courage to finally stand up to him. Of course it wasn't much help and the bullying only got worse so I transferred. It was hard but he made it a lot easier. He was my best friend for a long time until he finally worked up the courage to tell me he was in love with me. And I said it back. And here we are" Kurt finished
"That was sweet" Carole said a little tear in her eye.
Blaine chuckled nervously.
"Well who's up for dessert?" Burt asked breaking through the awkward silence. Kurt got up to help him with it.
"So do you like him?" Kurt whispered as they were dishing out the ice cream
"Yeah I do Kurt" Burt told him honestly "He's polite, nice and seems to care about you a lot. You did well, son" Burt told him patting him on the back
After dessert Blaine had to go. Finn offered to escort him to his car, which worried Kurt a little bit, especially after Finn came back with a huge grin on his face.
After everyone went to bed Kurt texted Blaine to ask him what Finn had said. Blaine's response made Kurt nearly die of embarrassment:
He just wanted to warn me not to get too fresh with you because he had numb chuck and a best friend in a fight club :P
Why was his family trying to ruin his life? Just as that thought popped into his head there was a knock on the door and Carole tip toed in
"I really like him Kurt" She told him with a wink
Well that was comforting…
