A/N: Many more thanks to all the wonderful people who are reading this story! (including T - I didn't expect to see you here!)

And very embarrassed apologies to everyone who noticed that I kept getting Sexy and Blame It On The Alcohol mixed up last chapter. I have no idea why I made that mistake so many times, but it has been remedied!

And, since I've already told you the moment I fell in love with Blaine,
(Baby, It's Cold Outside)
The moment I fell in love with Glee:
Teenage Dream
'don't ever look back, don't ever look back...'

Title: Permission

Summary: Kurt asks permission for Blaine to enter his bedroom. And, no, that is not an innuendo! You people ought to be ashamed...

Era: Born This Way-ish

Perspective: 3rd person, Burt-focus

Prompt: Scarves (by Broken Gold)

...

"Dad, we're going to my room to look at that new scarf I bought, okay?"

Flicking his gaze to Blaine, standing nervously by Kurt's side, Burt nodded.

"If you're not back in a minute I'm coming upstairs," he warned.

Ten minutes later, Burt was worried.

He stood and headed upstairs, striding noisily down the hallway to Kurt's bedroom. Peering in, he took in the sight of the two boys sitting on the floor, wowing over a pile of scarves.

Smiling, Burt left, deciding not to notice that Blaine's hair was messier than usual and Kurt's face was very, very flushed.

I'm sorry for all of these epic ANs, but now I'm going to make an admission that's been a long time coming, so read on if you want to enter the scary mind of Jg Rox:

I'm REALLY nervous about writing a Kliss.

It's not that I'm uncomfortable with writing slash - well, okay, it's that a little bit - but it's more that I haven't written a kiss at all in ages and, to steal Blaine's line, I don't want to screw this up. This couple kind of means everything to me right now (despite the differences we encountered circa chapter 10) - they're my little ray of light in the darkness that the next four months will be - and I'm worried that I won't be able to do them justice. In case you haven't gotten the hint, I take my writing really seriously, and I never try to write something that I don't think I can write well.

So I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting so long for a Kliss (I did, after all, say back in chapter 4 that I'd write one if I got a few reviews, and boy did I get a few reviews!), and I promise I will write one eventually. Honestly, I just need to take my own time with this, because I'm going to be overcoming a few little personal barriers when I finally do get around to writing it. And it's not a homophobia thing before people start accusing me of it. It's just a kiss thing.

(On a interesting aside, I looked back and realised that I haven't even typed the word 'kiss' in a story since January, and haven't genuinely written one since April 2010. I barely even remember what the world was like in April 2010! So if anyone has any idea what vital part of me has changed since then, I'd be very keen to know.)
