Ok…On To the Story!

*Klisses*


"Blaine, do you know where-WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?" Finn yelled at the top of his lungs. Blaine and Kurt both shot up right out of their position. Kurt immediately grabbed the blanket and threw it over Blaine to hide his eyes and exposed 'X' scar that were most likely glowing right now. "WELL ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME?"

"Finn, breath, we can explain!" Kurt snapped at his step-brother.

"You! We let you stay in our house and you go and fuck my little brother in return! Get your ass out of that blanket and face this like a real man!" Finn hissed stomping over to the bed. Blaine immediately threw the blanket off, his eyes were normal but he was obviously pissed at the accusation. Blaine opened his mouth to quip out something but Kurt interrupted him.

"Finn he didn't fuck me or vise versa! He had a bad dream and was thrashing. I heard him and calmed him down! We accidently fell asleep that's it! And I'm older then you!" Kurt huffed glaring at his brother.

"That's beyond the point here! You expect me to believe that? Why is he shirtless? Explain that!" Finn yelled angrily.

"Finn, what's going on-KURT ELIZABETH HUMMEL!" Burt shouted at the door. Kurt rolled his eyes and Blaine was still glaring at Finn.

"Burt what-Oh my," Carole said staring confused at the boys still in the bed.

"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" Burt bellowed.

"Ok, enough screaming please." Kurt begged, "And if you would just listen to me I will explain. Blaine had a horrible nightmare, I heard, came in, comforted him, and we fell asleep. That's all that happened, I swear!"

"Then why is he shirtless?" Burt growled and pointed harshly at Blaine.

"He thrashed around to frantically and it cut open his scar. It was bleeding so I took off his shirt to clean it off and we fell asleep while I was trying to calm him." Kurt reassured, he honestly had no clue if that way why Blaine was bleeding or not but it seemed the most logical. Carole nodded seeming a tad bit convinced, Burt had an unreadable expression on his face, and Finn and Blaine were giving each other death stares. Kurt was just looking innocently at his father and hoping on the inside that Blaine keeps his temper and doesn't melt Finn's brain or something.

"I'll believe that for now but we need to talk, to both of you boys. Now Kurt go to your room and get ready for school. We'll talk at breakfast." Burt ordered and with that he turned ant left. Carole turned and scurried after him. Finn and Blaine still haven't broken their glares. Kurt cleared his throat and they both snapped their attention to Kurt.

"Finn, leave Blaine alone. Blaine get changed, and get prepared, I have a feeling this is going to be and awkward talk." Kurt said. He stayed until Finn left. Finn gave Blaine one last glare before he turned and left.

"So your middle names Elizabeth?" Blaine said with a smirk.

"Yes it is and I'm proud of it. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. Finn means well, he just has a very protective way of showing it." Kurt said apologetically.

"Its fine, I think it's great that Finn protects you like that. I have respect for him for that." Blaine said with a firm nod.

"Thank god for that. I honestly thought he was going to burst into to flames or something." Kurt laughed feeling extremely full of relief.

"I wouldn't do that!" Blaine laughed, "I don't come off as that kind of person do I?"

Kurt laughed at Blaine's fake pout. "Of course not, I'm glad that you didn't, even if Finn totally disserved it!"

Blaine and Kurt both laugh at that comment. Kurt then turned and walked to his room. He closed that door and leaned up against the door and sighed. He just slept in the same bed and cuddled with Blaine Anderson. Kurt let out a silent squeal and hopped around the room in happiness. Little did he know that Blaine was doing the exact thing in the room across the hall.


Kurt got ready quickly so he could get the talk done with as soon as possible. Kurt looked around the living room, Carole and Finn were on the couch watching T.V. Kurt made his way to the kitchen and was surprised to see Blaine and Burt else sitting at the kitchen table waiting for him.

"Take a seat Kurt," Burt said gesturing toward the empty seat beside Blaine. Kurt took a deep breath and took the place next to Blaine. "Well, you see I think its time we had a little talk."

"Oh god, please tell me we aren't having that talk." Kurt groaned into his hands. He stuck a glance over at Blaine who had a mortified look on his face.

"Kurt, I think this is an important thing. When you're put in a 'situation' I want you to be prepared. I hope and will continue to believe that you will never be in a situation like that until your thirty." Burt said, it was obvious that the conversation was awkward for him also.

"Then why is Blaine here? It's awkward enough for you telling me so why do you need to tell my friend?" Kurt said stressing the word 'friend'.

Great, Blaine thought, I'm friend zoned…bummer.

"Well, Blaine's parents aren't going to teach him and I thought since I saw you in that position I just assumed…" Burt trailed off rubbing the back of his neck.

"That's right you assumed. FINN, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ASSUME?" Kurt hollered toward the living room.

"YOU MAKE AND ASS OUT OF YOU AND ME!" Finn hollered back.

"Finn, language," Carole scolded.

"See, Finn's assumes all the time. That's actually how we all got in this mess of awkwardness and confusion." Kurt huffed and reclined in his chair.

"Kurt, I just want you and Blaine to be safe. I'll leave it at this, don't throw yourself around, you matter, and if you ever decide to do that use protection. We all care about you two, ok?" Burt said it was still awkward but it was kind of touching. Kind of.

"Ok, will do, dad." Kurt said as he got up, "Finn get your butt up were heading to school!"

"But were sooooooo early!" Finn whined

"Stop your whining, Hudson. Butt in car now." Kurt ordered trying his best not to look at his father.

All the boys filed in to the car to go to school. The car was silent; it wasn't a comfortable silent that Kurt and Blaine fell into, it was awkward.

"This is awkward," Finn said looking out the window.

"You don't say?" Kurt sassed sarcastically.

"Sorry for trying to break the awkward silence!" Finn huffed. The two siblings continually bickered back and fourth in the front seats, Blaine was sitting in the back seat trying his best not to laugh at the two.

They were fighting like an old married couple, Blaine was glad that they were related or he would be really jealous that Kurt was anywhere close to even a hypothetical couple with anyone. Ok, that's sounds crazy, even he knew it did, but it was true. Blaine was so deep in thought of Kurt that he didn't even notice that they were at school. Both of the siblings were giving Blaine a confused look since he was staring off into space. Blaine flushed a little and got out of the car and walked into the school with the Hudmel teens. They fell into a simple conversation, they were laughing when suddenly Blaine was being engulfed by someone's arms. Blaine looked down to see Tanner had his arms around Blaine's chest. Tanner had large tears falling down his cheeks. Blaine quickly returned the hug; he quickly glanced around the hall. They were being stared at with confused looks and Kurt had a somewhat pissed look on his face.

"Did you call Ren?" Blaine whispered, Tanner nodded, "Did they take them?"

"J-Just mom," Tanner hiccupped and he sobbed louder. Blaine hugged him tighter, "R-Ren was terrified. T-They attacked him, he t-tried to stop them from taking her. They threatened to arrest h-him and mom told him to stop and that she'd be fine, but we all know that that's not true!"

Tanner practically wailed, Blaine sighed and scooped up the emotional boy. He looked at Kurt and gestured with his head to follow him. Kurt followed him, they got odd stared but who wouldn't? They were three teenagers, one was an emotional mess, one was holding the messed up one, and the other was extremely confused. Blaine turned into a bathroom, he checked the stalls, no one was in there.

"Ok, care to tell me what the hell is going on here?" Kurt huffed placing his hands on his hips. Blaine gently placed Tanner on the ground and got toilet paper and wiped his eyes.

"Can I?" Blaine asked, Tanner nodded and sniffed, "Well, Tanner's mom was taken also."

Kurt gasped, "That's horrible!"

"That's not the half of it. She also has breast cancer and is really sick." Blaine said, he immediately regretted it because Kurt had tears in his eyes.

Nice going Anderson, Blaine thought, why didn't you just say she was sick? You knew that his mom died from cancer!

Kurt fell to the floor beside Tanner and pulled him into a hug. Tanner curled into Kurt's kind touch. Kurt's voice was shaky and tears were falling down his face, "its ok, I know what you're going through, it will be fine."

They sat there for a few more minuets before someone came in. The person was whistling happily. The person stopped and popped his head out from around the stalls. It was Jackson he had a confused and concerned look on his face.

"Blaine? Kurt? Tanner? What's going on?" Jackson said in his normal sweet voice. Tanner burst into harder tears, Jackson jumped a bit. He practically jumped to the spot next to him and out stretched his arms. Tanner fell into his arms; Jackson cooed and whispered comforting words trying to sooth the crying boy. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other and smirked. It took about 5 minuets before Tanner calmed down. Jackson smiled down at Tanner friendly, "Now why it little Tan here so upset."

"He found out his mother has cancer and it's kind of serious." Blaine lied quickly so Tanner didn't have to.

"Aw, poor buddy, it'll be fine in the end. I promise." Jackson cooed sweetly. Blaine was seriously questioning Jackson's sexuality right now. The five minuet bell rang and all the teens got up. Tanner was leaning miserably on Jackson and Kurt and Blaine were looking sympathetically at him.

Blaine sighed and looked over at Kurt, "This is going to be a long day, isn't it?"

"Yep,"


Blaine was right about it being a long day. First period seemed to drag on but second period wasn't so bad, since Kurt was there. But third period was horrible; all Jackson would talk about was how he felt bad for Tanner. Lunch was flat out awkward since Tanner was silent, Blaine tried to talk to him but it was no use. The closest he got to acknowledgement was when he asked if Tanner was still auditioning today. All he got was a simple nod.

The only interesting period of the day was gym class. Karofsky and his goons wouldn't even stand near, let alone look at Blaine. Feeling satisfied that he had made his point clear it was easier to tolerate his Calculus class. When the bell finally rang Blaine was out of there as fast as he could.

Blaine packed his stuff and headed to get Tanner from his locker. Tanner was still looked depressed as ha slumped against his locker. He suppressed a small forced smile when he saw Blaine.

"Are you sure that you're up for this?" Blaine asked the sad teen. Tanner took a deep breath.

"Yeah, I bet when we kick ass I'll feel better." Tanner said with another weak smile.

"That's the spirit! Let's go meet Kurt at his locker!" Blaine said enthusiastically as he took hold of Tanner's hand. They made their way down the still crowded hall toward Kurt. Kurt was just closing his locker when Tanner and Blaine showed up. Kurt gave Tanner an encouraging smile.

"You guys ready?" Kurt asked.

"As ready as we'll ever be." Blaine said with a smile as he lightly nudged Tanner who returned his smile. Kurt directed then to the choir room where there was everyone who sat at their lunch table. The three of them took a seat at the top row of the risers. Immediately Rachel was on them with her random babbling.

"Oh my god, you're trying out? Yay, I knew I could talk you into it Blaine! And Tanner I didn't know you could sing! I bet it's a Puckerman thing! I-" Rachel was cut off by Mercedes's hand on her mouth.

"Girl, you need to learn when to shut up! We have 2 people who actually want to try out. Do not-I repeat- do not scare them away!" Mercedes said before releasing her. Rachel just huffed and returned to her seat near Finn who was glaring over at Blaine. Blaine on the other hand was focusing on Tanner, who looked positively miserable.

"Ok, guys, I see we have 2 new faces in here!" A man said. Blaine recognized him immediately he was his Spanish teacher, Mr. Schuester. "Are you guys going to audition for us?"

"Yes we are, but if we may, we would like to do a duet." Blaine said flashing his charming smile.

"Of course that'd be fine. You have the floor." Mr. Schue said. The two boys got up and stood in the middle of the floor.

"Well as you know, I'm Blaine Anderson and this is Tanner Puckerman. For our audition we are going to perform a mash up. We used to perform this at out old school. So here goes nothing." Blaine said he pointed to the band and they started to play. Blaine steps forward, "Dark in the city, night is a wire. Steam in the subway, earth is a fire."

Oh my god his voice! He was like a male version on Rachel! Ok, that just sounds a little creepy, but he was phenomenal. Tanner steps forward and gives the next line all he has. And what do you know he fucking fantastic too! They start dancing with elaborate moves. Kurt was speechless he couldn't imagine what song they mixed.

"Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand," Blaine and Tanner sang.

"Smell like I sound!" Tanner yelled.

"Just like that river twisting through a dusty land,"

"Straddle the line!" Tanner shouted he looked happy now.

"And when she shines she really shows you all she can,"

"Mouth is alive!"

"Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grande," They both sang.

Kurt enjoyed the mix of songs, true Duran Duran wasn't his favorite of bands. But the way they mixed Hungry like the Wolf and Rio was fabulous. The way they moved was almost hypnotizing but something Kurt kept him from giving in. Kurt smiled and turned to see show the others were taking it. Before he could see their expressions Tanner was somehow in the chair in front of his view. Kurt looked over to see Blaine enthusiastically belting notes while kneeling on the grand piano.

Soon after the song came to an end, Kurt started to clap but then he heard the entire New Directions join in. It was the loudest Kurt has ever heard them, they were whistling and cheering. For the first time today Finn was looking at Blaine not with a glare but with a huge smile on his face.

Tanner was down by Blaine now. They were both smiling and panting. The rest of the group came down to where they were. They started to high five them, congratulate them, and clap them on the back.

"I think I speak for everyone when I say, welcome to the New Directions!" Mr. Schuester said happily. Eventually the commotion died down and Mr. Schue could talk so everyone could her him, "Ok, now let's begin."

Glee went pretty fast and unsurprisingly Tanner and Blaine had a blast. The club was an hour long but it felt like fifteen minuets to them. As they were on their way out Tanner stopped.

"Blaine can I talk to you for a second?" Tanner asked. Blaine looked over at Kurt to see what he thought.

"Go ahead, Finn's going home with Puck, so I'll wait in the car." Kurt said before turning and leaving. Blaine couldn't help but watch Kurt's hips sway as he left. He was brought back to reality by Tanner snapping his fingers in front of Blaine's face. Blaine looked at him; Tanner had a huge smirk on his face. Blaine blushed and cleared his throat.

"Uh, sorry, so what did you want to talk about?" Blaine asked. Tanner took a deep breath; he looked like he was having an internal argument on whether or not he should talk to Blaine.

"I wanted to ask you something actually." Tanner said looking away.

"Yeah, what is it?" Blaine asked curiously.

"Will you move in with me?"
