Author's Note

-Sorry for the delay! I've been terribly busy lately. This is kind of a filler chapter as well, but it has lots of Klaine fluff, so hopefully it's not that bad of a filler.

-The last couple of chapters have had an enormous response when it comes to reviews and favorite/story alerts, as well as a mostly positive response to my OC Lizzy. Thank you all so much!

-I told myself that I wouldn't become subject to this, and I would be a complete crazy person to start a third fanfic, but the Anderberry prompt doesn't seem to want to leave my head. So, we'll see if I do something about that…

-Just letting you guys know, Jack and Eloise are Blaine's grandparent's names. Just so you know when I mention them.

-I just got a tumblr account, and I love reblogging a lot of things about Klaine. So if you have a Tumblr, go follow me! Since this thing is being stupid and won't let me post a link, my username is singingwithouttongues, and I'll try to post a link in my bio as well.

Okay, that's it. Enjoy!

On Thursday night, Kurt was snuggled up on the couch with Blaine as they watched 'Beauty and the Beast'. Kurt sighed. He felt so comfortable with Blaine. Almost too comfortable, in fact. He had already pictured himself living with Blaine one day, marrying Blaine, raising kids with Blaine. He was falling hard and fast, and he would be lying if he said that it didn't scare him. Surely Blaine didn't already have those thoughts about the two of them?

Blaine seemed to notice Kurt's lack of attention toward the movie, so he paused it and nudged Kurt slightly. "What's on your mind, Babe?"

Kurt looked hesitant. "It's just…nothing. It's stupid." And he turned his attention back to the paused TV screen.

But Blaine wasn't fooled. "Come on, you can tell me anything. What's the matter?" He persisted.

"I was…thinking. About my future." Kurt looked at Blaine timidly. "Our future."

Blaine nodded, silently urging him on.

Kurt continued. "I know that we've moved…fairly quickly in our relationship. At least it seems that way to me. I'm not complaining, but I want to know more about you. I want to know the things that make you want to punch someone, and the things that make you want to jump up and down in joy. I want to spend a long time with you, Blaine. As long as you want me around. But this is so new for me, and I think I'd like us to just get to know each other more." Kurt finished, hoping that Blaine would understand the point he was trying to make without getting offended. He felt nervous when he saw tears forming in his boyfriend's eyes.

"Oh, Blaine! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean, I shouldn't have said-"

"I'm a complete jerk." Blaine said abruptly.

Kurt looked shocked. "Why would you think that?"

Blaine sighed. He took Kurt's hands into his and squeezed them tightly as he turned to face Kurt. "Kurt, I'm so stupid. Here I am being selfish enough to call you my boyfriend when we haven't even been on a proper date yet!"

Kurt was not expecting that. "Well, we did sort of-" He started to say but Blaine cut him off.

"If you count that dinner we had at Breadstix as a date, then I definitely owe you." He looked at Kurt pleadingly. "I'm so sorry, Kurt. What you've said makes so much sense. We need to learn more about each other. I want to memorize everything about you, down to the brand of moisturizer you use."

Kurt smirked. Blaine brought one of his hands up to cup Kurt's cheek. "I felt like I knew so much about you already, but thinking about it now, I barely know anything at all. And I plan on staying put, Kurt. For as long as YOU want me around, I'm not going anywhere."

Kurt smiled softly at Blaine as a tear rolled down his cheek. Blaine wiped it away with his thumb.

"So, I'm going to ask you properly. Kurt Hummel, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me?"

Kurt laughed at Blaine's overly charming manners. He kissed his boyfriend's cheek and leaned his forehead against Blaine's. "Of course I will. What did you have in mind?"

Blaine grinned. "That's for me to plan, and you to find out at the appropriate time."

Kurt chuckled. "You are so cheesy, you know that right?" Blaine just grinned.

Kurt then turned serious. "As long as we're together, whatever you plan will be perfect."

Blaine looked surprised. "Now who's sounding cheesy?"

Both laughed and snuggled closer. Blaine took his turn and pressed a small kiss on Kurt's cheek before settling his head in Kurt's lap, letting Kurt play with his curls as they finished their movie. Both realized that all of the making out they had done and would do would never compare to the intimacy they shared in that moment.

An hour later, Carole came home from work to find Blaine curled up in Kurt's lap on the couch, both sound asleep.

She pulled a blanket over the two boys just as Burt walked through the front door. She hurriedly rushed forward and pressed a finger to her lips before he could say anything. She motioned him forward and pointed silently to where his son and boyfriend were fast asleep on the couch.

"Do we have to wake them?"

"Carole, they have school tomorrow."

"Aww, Burt, I know. But look how comfortable they look together!"

Burt sighed and watched the two boys. It was then he noticed the slight tear tracks on both boys' cheeks. It made him wonder what had happened between the two of them. By the way they were snuggled close together, Burt figured that everything was fine, but he made a mental note to ask his son about it anyway.

"I'm so happy for Kurt." Carole whispered, beaming. "Blaine seems to really like him. I was watching the two of them at the table, the night Blaine came over for dinner. They're falling hard for each other, Burt."

Burt grimaced slightly. "I know. I saw them, too."

Burt wasn't sure how he felt about his son having a boyfriend, but he couldn't deny that he liked Blaine. He saw the look of admiration that came across Blaine's face whenever he looked at Kurt, and the way Kurt blushed whenever Blaine kissed him or held his hand. Burt was proud that Kurt had chosen someone like Blaine. He was what Kurt needed in his life.

Burt hesitated before answering Carole. "It's only nine. I'll call Jack and Eloise and let them know that Blaine will be staying here tonight. We'll wake him up early in the morning so that he can go home and get ready for school."

Carole smiled and nodded. She and Burt headed upstairs, leaving Blaine and Kurt in the living room still wrapped in each other's arms.

"I'll see you tonight, then?" Kurt asked Blaine as he was getting ready to leave.

Blaine had been woken up by Burt at six that morning. After a moment of confusion, he realized where he was and who was sleeping beside him. Blaine wasn't sure if he should feel elated that he had fallen asleep with Kurt, or scared that Burt had caught him asleep with Kurt. But Burt didn't say much about it. Burt told him that he had called Blaine's grandparents last night, and let them know that he would be home early that morning. Blaine had a newfound appreciation for Kurt's father. Blaine counted himself as one of the luckiest guys in the world. Not only did he have Kurt, but Burt and Carole were also the most loving and accepting parents that Blaine had ever met.

"Blaine?"

Blaine snapped out of his thoughts and saw that Kurt was looking at him, confused.

"Sorry, I was just thinking."

Kurt looked at him curiously. "About what?"

Blaine smiled and wrapped his arms around Kurt. "About how lucky I am to have you." He answered, nuzzling Kurt's neck.

Kurt giggled. "I feel the same way. But we really have to get ready for school."

Blaine groaned and pulled away. "Fine. I'll see you tonight. I can't wait to meet your friends!"

"Yeah, they are really excited to meet you as well. They said they have to, and I quote, 'check if he's worthy enough of someone as awesome as me'." He said, laughing.

Blaine grinned. "Well, I hope I meet their requirements."

Kurt kissed him quickly. "I'm sure you will. Now go!" And he shoved Blaine out the front door and closed it, leaving a gaping Blaine on the other side.

Kurt returned home from Dalton at 4:30. The party was at seven, so that gave him plenty of time to pick out an outfit, and maybe call Blaine.

By six, he was showered, dressed, and was styling his hair to the way he liked it best. Once he had deemed his hair perfect, he put on a coat of hairspray and pulled out his phone. He was surprised to find a text from Lizzy in his inbox.

Hey, Kurt. I can't wait to see you again tonight! Thanks for the invite, by the way! –Lizzy

He sent her a quick reply, telling her that he was glad she was coming. Kurt thought for a moment before sending a text to Santana.

You remember that I told you I was bringing a girl named Lizzy to the party tonight? Do you think that you and the other girls could try to make her feel welcome? Pretty please? –Kurt

He received a reply minutes later.

Sure thing. Maybe we can hook her up ;)

Kurt rolled his eyes. Knowing Santana, she would do just that.

Kurt glanced at the clock. 6:20. He figured he might as well leave early; it would give him a few minutes with Blaine before everyone else arrived. He drove his Navigator to Blaine's house, and, noticing that the front door was already open, walked in. "Blaine?" He called out.

"Kurt? Is that you?" He heard Blaine's voice from the second floor.

"Yeah!"

"I'll be down in a minute!" Blaine yelled.

Kurt walked around while he waited for Blaine. Kurt had been here once before, to meet Blaine's grandparents, but he and Blaine had gone up to Blaine's bedroom quickly after the meeting, and Kurt hadn't had a chance to admire the large house. He took his time, looking at all of the pictures that adhered to the wall.

There was a picture of a young Jack and Eloise on their wedding day. Beside it, a picture of Blaine with his grandparents. Kurt guessed that Blaine was about fifteen in the picture. Next to that, a recent school picture of Blaine's.

Kurt glanced at a little round end table at the corner of the foyer. There was a small picture on it, which Kurt picked up. He saw a little boy, about two years old. Kurt had no doubt in his mind that the boy was Blaine, if the dark curls on his head were any indication. There was a man and a woman on either side of Blaine, smiling widely at the camera. The man had the same jet black hair as Blaine's, and the woman had the same soft features and charming smile.

"Hey, honey. You're early, not that I'm complaining." Blaine said, coming up behind Kurt and wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist. Kurt smiled gently at him before turning his head back to the photo.

"Blaine, are these your parents?"

Blaine looked long and hard at the picture before answering. "Yes."

Kurt bit his lip, wondering what would be the right thing to say. "You look a lot like them, if that's not overstepping."

Blaine leaned his head against Kurt's shoulder. "You're not. I know I look like them. But I'm not like them at all."

Kurt put the photo down and turned to face Blaine. "I know you're not. I may not know yet what they did to you, but any parent who chooses not to be involved in their child's life is just cruel."

Blaine snorted. "Yeah. But I don't need them. I have Grandpa, Nan, and…" He kissed Kurt chastely on the lips. "I have you."

Kurt smiled. "You certainly do."

They held each other for another minute before Blaine spoke up. "So, shall I show you to the basement? You can help me set up the rest of the things for the party."

Kurt grinned. "Lead the way."
