Chapter 35

"Blaine... seriously come on!" Kurt shouted out of frustration as he pulled his reluctant boyfriend along by the hand.

Blaine had been walking as slow as he could since they had left Dalton, half way along Kurt had gotten impatient and grabbed his hand and literally dragged him the rest of the way. As they came closer to breadsticks Blaine had started pulling back on Kurts hand trying to escape, but Kurt had held on tighter which meant that Blaine was now scuffing his feet on the floor behind him as they reached the door.

"But.." Blaine started to moan before he was cut off by Kurt turning around to face him, the look on Kurts face made Blaine feel about 6 as he shut his mouth and looked at his boyfriend.

"We are going in and you are gonna enjoy yourself... whether you like it or not!" Kurt said sternly his forehead creased out of irritation, he had had enough of Blaines childish behaviour and his patiences was stretched to its limits. They were now 15 minutes late and Kurt hated being late with out good reason, and Blaine acting like a child was not a good reason. Blaine pulled his hand out of Kurts and crossed his arms defiantly over his chest, he dug his feet into the ground and straightened his back taking on a stubborn stance.

"I don't wanna" Blaine said sulkily as he stared back at Kurt jutting out his bottom lip. Kurt looked at him and raised his eyebrow unimpressd as if to say really you're pulling the sulky child act on me. Kurt took a small step closer to his boyfriend and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Blaine... you are not a 3 year old so stop acting like it." Kurt said sternly but calmly as he stood looking at his boyfriend. Even though he seemed in control on the outside, inside he wanted to scream and shout at Blaine to man up! Blaine pouted even more as he huffed not liking Kurts discription of him, he hated being compared to a child mainly because it pointed out his hieght issues. Kurt glared at Blaine he couldn't believe his boyfriend's still refusal to enter the premises, he placed both his hands on his hips as he jutted them out in his diva pose.

Blaine looked at him he felt like he was being told off by his mum, he hated the way Kurt could make him feel like a child sometimes. As they stood there people stopped to watch the two lads in what can only be classed as a 'mexican standoff'. Kurt was winning though as Blaine started shuffling his feet, he noticed people were starting to stare at them and he was beginning to feel like a fish in a bowl. Blaine sighed as he looked at Kurt he knew he was being silly but he couldn't help it, he really didn't want to go in he wasn't ready but he knew he would give in sooner or later.

"Sorry" Blaine whispered as he looked down towards the floor, his shoulders slouched as started kicking at a stone with his foot. Kurt sighed as he watched his boyfriend looking so defeated, he hated seeing Blaine like this as if he was being forced to do something he really didn't want to. He took a step forward and reached for Blaines hand holding it tenderly in his as Blaine looked up into his eyes, Kurt was feeling guilty for trying to pressure Blaine into coming.

"What is the big deal any way?" Kurt asked softly shrugging his shoulders as he tried to make this not such a massive ordeal. "It's only Mercedes and Finn" Blaine looked at Kurt frowning, his face showing amazement at the fact that Kurt just did not get it.

"That's the problem!" Blaine said shaking his head at him a pained expression on his face, Kurt looked at him frowning he still did not really understand.

He's met with them loads of times with no problem Kurt thought to himself It's not as though... then it dawned on him Oooooh! . Kurt placed his hand softly onto Blaines cheek as he tried to convey that he understood.

"Finn won't be that bad" Kurt said softly with a small smile trying to reassure his boyfriend that his brother wouldn't be too hard on him. As much as Blaine appreciated Kurts attempt to reassure him he just looked at him rolling his eyes.

He really dosen't get it Blaine thought.

"I'm not worried about Finn... he'll just give me the death stare and a lecture" Blaine said as he glared at Kurt trying to copy Finns usual death glare, Kurt raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms as he stared at Blaines facial expression.

"What's that?" Kurt asked trying to hold back a smirk as he waved his hand in front of Blaines face, Blaine just stared at him in disbelief placing his own hands on his hips.

"The death stare!" Blaine said raising his eyebrows as if to say isn't it obvious..

"Oh right yeah" Kurt said unimpressed as a smirk graced his lips as he replaced his arm across his chest "I thought you were doing the Gas pains face". Blaines face fell as he glared at his boyfriend not really impressed, he rolled his eyes and waved his hand infront of Kurt dismissing Kurts words.

"Anyway... I can deal with Finn it's... Mercedes that I don't wanna face" Blaine said embarrased that he had just admitted that he was scared of Mercedes. Kurt grinned as he looked at Blaine fidgeting in front of him, his cheeks were starting to glow red with embarrassment.

He's so cute when he blushes Kurt thought as he looked at his boyfriend. Kurt leaned in a placed a soft lingering chaste kiss on his lips causing Blaine to smile and relax a bit more, thoughts of his impending doom washed from his mind for the moment.

"She's not that bad... now come on" Kurt said grabbing Blaines hand again and dragging him through the door, this time Blaine didn't put up as much resistance, a kiss from Kurt always made things right until it stopped and reality came shooting back.

"God!" Blaine whimpered as he allowed Kurt to haul him forward through the doors, he was not looking forward to this one bit.

As they walked in through the doors Kurt started to look around excitedly looking for his best friend and brother, he had really missed them. Blaine swiped his eyes around the room hoping that they had changed their minds and not shown, he wanted a bit more time before he had to meet Mckinleys answer to The mob. Also he just wanted to go back to school and spend the rest of the day snuggled up with Kurt watching harry potter like they had planned, selfishly he just wanted Kurt all to himself today. A smile crept onto his face as he pictured them both lying on Kurts bed wrapped in each others arms as they watched TV. Blaine was brought out of his thoughts at his boyfriend squealed as he yanked Blaine forward. Blaine looked to where Kurt was taking them He caught sight of Mercedes and Finn sitting at the table in the corner, Blaine started to sweat as he was literally pulled towards them.

"Finn ... Mercs" Kurt shouted as he almost ran to them causing Blaine to trot behind him, he was feeling really sick now as Finn and Merceds looked up towards the two boys coming towards them. Blaine caught sight of the grin radiating off their faces, he raised his eyebrows in question.

Maybe this won't be too bad Blaine thought to himself as they neared the table, well hoped to himself as he said a silent prayer.

"Hey boo" Mercedes said grinning as they reached the table "come sit here " she said tapping the chair next to her, Kurt let go of Blaines hand and slipped in beside her pulling her into a tight hug.

"It feels like ages since we got together" He whispered into her ear as he squeezed her tightly, Mercedes laughed as she returned his hug.

"It was only last week... but I know what you mean." Mercedes said as she pulled away taking Kurts hand in hers. While Kurt had been at home she had popped in to see him every day after school until it was time for her to go home, so 4 days with only the phone as their only contact felt like months to them.

"Hey bro" Finn said to Kurt grinning at him, Kurt turned his head and smiled back at him as he reached over and held his hand. As they looked at each other Blaine frowned there seemed to be a silent conversation going on between the 2 boys, Finn satisfied with what ever Kurt had relayed through his eyes squeezed Kurts hand before turning to face Blaine.

"Hey Blaine" Finn said smiling up at him, he was smiling but Blaine felt like a fly being drawn into a spiders web.

Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly Blaine thought to himself as he looked from Finn to Mercedes to Kurt then back at Finn, all 3 grinning up at him like cheshire cats.

"Hey guys " Blaine said a little more confidently than he actually felt.

"Come... sit" Finn said tapping the chair beside him, Blaine visibly swallowed as he slipped his eyes to Kurt looking for some reassurance, Kurt smiled and tilted his head indicating for him to sit. Blaine looked at him but didn't move until Kurt raised his eyebrow.

Oh god I'm gonna throw up Blaine thought to himself as he took his seat next to Finn.

"Hey triangular boy" Mercedes said smilling innocently, Blaine frowned at her confused not understanding this reverance to him. Blaine whipped his head round to Finn and frowned even more as he heard him snigger, Finn coughed trying to hide the fact that he knew what Mercs was on about.

"Mercedes behave" Kurt said as he slapped her arm, Blaine turned his head and looked at Kurt frowning even more as he noticed the small smile that his boyfriend was trying to hide. Kurt shook his head at him as if to say don't worry about it, Blaine was now even more confused he'll have to ask David and Wes later if Kurt wasn't gonna say.

"So guys whats the gossip?" Mercedes asked looking between the two boys moving on from her latest put down of Blaine . "You two together now?...I mean after that text this morning... which I might say was too early... " Mercedes said indicating to Kurt "... it was a bit cryptic."

Kurt looked at Blaine shyly as Blaine raised a questioning eye as if to say that was quick and what exactly have you told them?

"Yeah we're together" Kurt said trying to hold his excitement in, he still couldn't believe that Blaine was now his boyfriend. Blaine smiled at him feeling exactly the same way as Kurt, his squeezed Kurts hand slightly as he tried to indicate this to Kurt as he smiled shyly back at Blaine.

"That's great babe" Mercedes said grinning as she pulled Kurt back into a hug "I'm really pleased for you... both"

"Thanks baby girl " Kurt whispered as he returned her hug, Mercedes slipped her eyes to Blaines raising hers as if to say you hurt him I'll kill you. Blaine's face fell as he felt Mercedes eyes on him reading her expression for what it was, he was starting to feel sick again. Blaine jumped as he felt Finn put his arm around his shoulders, he turned his head slowly towards Finn uneasily. Blaine frowned in confusement as Finn just grinned back at him, it didn't make sense he expected things to be a lot harder than this.

"That's so cool" Finn said as he looked between Kurt and Blaine, Finn let his arm fall away from Blaines shoulders as Blaines eyes darted between Finn, Mercedes and Kurt. Kurt grinned back at him obviously he didn't feel the uneasyness that Blaine was feeling. Blaine turned back to look at Finn, still not trusting his reaction.

"You make sure you look after my bro now" Finn said pointing at him as he glared at Blaine. "Or I might have to hurt you" he whispered as he leant further in. Blaines eyes widened as he nervously swallowed, Blaines eyes slipped between Mercedes and Finn as they both just sat staring at him.

"Sure ... I.. I'd never hurt him" Blaine said his voice coming out strangled as he tried to control his now racing heart, Finn stared at him his eyes unblinking his face neutral. Kurt looked at finn, Mercedes and Blaine then he rolled his eyes.

"Guys behave" Kurt said at Finn and Mercedes as he sat back in the chair his arms crossed over his chest, bored by this routine it was no fun when you're on the recieving end. "I don't want you scaring him off." Blaine looked at Kurt his eyes wide hoping for reassurance but Kurt just shrugged his shoulders, he was starting to sweat as he felt the glare from Mercedes and Finn.

"We're just making sure that hobbit here understands that he gets 1 chance with our Boo" Mercedes said calmly as she held up her finger in front of Blaine, her eyes never leaving Blaine as he started to go pale. Blaine started to fidget in his seat as he got readyy to bolt, Kurt looked at Mercedes shaking his head as he watched her staring at his boyfriend waggleing her finger in front of him as she mouthed one!

"Yea he's gotta learn not to mess with the family" Finn whispered as he leant in closer to Blaine, he moved his hand along the back of the seat so it came close to Blaines shoulder. Blaine stared at Finn unable to move his eyes and body, frozen to the chair.

The Family Blaine panicked to himself.

"Yea the family" Mercedes repeated as if reading Blaines mind, Blaine looked at Mercedes her expression revealing nothing. Blaine was getting very uncomfortable, and hot as he looked at the 2 people now staring intensly at him. Kurt let his head fall into his hands groaning from embarressment, he couldn't believe they were going to go all the way with this. They used to do this routine all the time at Mckinley if one of the Glee club went out with someone not associated with it, 9 times out of 10 you never saw that person again. Then they were classed as not worthy of your love. He so did not want that to happen with Blaine, if he couldn't handle this then Blaine would walk away and all Kurts hard work would've been for nothing.

"Guys serously 'Mess with the family'" Kurt said looking at them with raised eyebrows as he put 'Mess with the family' in air quotes. "You are so not doing this!"

Kurt reached for Blaines hand trying to get his attention. Blaine turned and looked at Kurt frowning as if to say are they serious, Kurt smiled at him and mouthed MUMMSIE. Blaine frowned wandering what Kurt was on about, Kurt rolled his eyes then raised his eyebrows even more while he tilted his head slightly to the side. Blaine looked at him for a moment then a small smile crept on to his lips in realisation, he gave Kurts hand a little squeeze then crossed his arms. He looked at Finn and raised his eyebrows, then he looked at Mercedes and did the same a smile gracing his lips. Kurt breathed a sigh of relief as he knew that Blaine was going to give as good as he got.

So this is their version of the mummsie Blaine thought to himself, well I could do with the practice.

Kurt sat back as he watched Blaine, Finn and Mercedes stare at each other all 3 now with crossed arms across their chests. He couldn't believe that they all were behaving this way, God they are so childish Kurt thought to himself as he crosse his own arms. Kurt was brought out of his thoughts as he heard someone at their table.

"Hu hummm" The waitress said as she tried to get the attention of the 4 kids at the table, Kurt turned and looked up at her.

"Are you ready to order?" She asked frowning as she took in the sight of the trio in what seemed like a staring competition. Kurt turned and looked at his boyfriend and friends, Blaine had now moved to lean his elbow on the table his head resting on his hand as he looked at Mercedes and Finn. Kurt was impressed because Blaine looked quite relaxed, he was doing better than he normally does.

"Are they ok?" the waitress asked Kurt her forehead creased in puzzlement as she pointed her pencil at the trio. Kurt sighed as he shook his head then he turned looked back up at her.

"Oh they're fine" Kurt said as he slipped his eyes back and watched them unimpressed, they were supposed to be spending time together, catching up on the gossip NOT having stupid staring competition.

"They're are just trying to decide which one of them will have the pleasure of taking me out for a romantic meal" Kurt said a little loudly hoping that would at least gain his boyfriends or brothers attention.

Still nothing! Kurt thought to himself as he threw his hands up into the air frustratedly, his eyes wide in amazement. I give up! He thought as he shook his head.

The waitress looked at Kurt with a raised eyebrow at Kurts words, then back at the three people who were now leaning in towards each other as close as they could without actually touching. Blaine was slipping his eyes from one to the other holding his own under their stares, he was quite enjoying this.

"So in that case as I am being totally ignored!" Kurt said towards the three staring bodies, still getting no response Kurt rolled his eyes and then lifted his head up towards the waitress who was still watching the show before her. " I will have the most expensive thing on the menu please... healthy option... 3 courses" Kurt said grinning up at her, the waitress looked back at Kurt but her eyes kept drifting to the three people staring at each other facinated by their intence stares.

"And them?" She asked indicating to the guys with her pencil, Kurt looked at his friends then back at the waitress.

"Oh just bring them a basket of chips to share between themselves" Kurt said as he waved his hand towards them as if they weren't important, the waitress looked back at the three people then back at Kurt raising an eyebrow in question.

"That's their puishment for ignoring me... you never ignore Kurt Hummel" Kurt whispered smiling at her, the waitress looked between Kurt and his friends then back at Kurt before walking off grinning. Kurt sat back and crossed his arms as he watched the show in front of him, he looked at his watch and yawned he really was not in the mood for this. Kurt sat there for another 5 minutes his patience really was not up to par today as he started to drum his fingertips on the table.

"Seriuosly guys... Enough!" Kurt shouted as he leaned forward making all three people, and half the customers in the place, jump and turn to face him. Kurt sat back and examined his fingertips his face the picture of inocence, satisfied he had got their attention. He looked back up towards his friends and boyfriend and looked at them slowly one at a time, making sure he had their full attention.

"Have we quite finished with the kindergarten showdown" Kurt said his voice and face conveying how unimpressed he was at their behaviour.

"Sorry" they all said as they at least had the decency to look ashamed, Blaine looked over at Kurt and pouted as he saw the look on his boyfriends face, he felt like a 6 year old again!

"They started it!" Blaine whined as he pointed at Mercedes and Finn, Mercedes mouth gaped open in shock that Blaine had blamed her and Finn as Finn pushed Blaine.

"We did not... it was you with your I'll take you down attitude'" Mercedes all but shouted her body taking on a diva look as she stared at Blaine. Blaine looked at her and then at Finn, Finn was nodding in agreement. Blaines mouth fell open and his forehead creased in amazement that they would actually think he started it, he was not going to take this lying down.

"Hold on a minute..." Blaine said as his held his hand out in front of him, his eyes darting between Mercedes and Finn, "You two started it with your imitation Mob act... with the whole don't mess with the family routine" Blaine said defensively as he imitated Marlon Brando from the God Father. Mercedes and Finn looked at Blaine then at each other before bursting into fits of laugher as they listened to Blaines imitation.

"What... the hell.. was that" Finn managed to squeeze out as he nudged Blaine, Blaine frowned at them annoyed that they were dissing his GodFather.

"That was the God Father... thank you very much!" Blaine said defensively as he crossed his arms in front of him. Finn and Mercedes stopped laughing and looked at Blaine then at each other before bursting into fits of giggles again. Blaine huffed at them and turned his back to Finn unimpressed with their laughter, Blaine caught Kurts expression out of the corner of his eye and turned to face him. Blaine frowned as he saw a big grin spread across his boyfriends face as he watched Mercedes and Finn.

"What's so funny?" Blaine asked Kurt turning his whole body to face him his arms still crossed in front, Kurt turned his head towards Blaine his smile still on his face.

"Nothing" Kurt said as he looked at Blaine, love shone from his eyes as he locked eyes with his boyfriend. Blaine couldn't help but smile back as the same love radiated from his eyes, Blaine reached for Kurts hand and entwined their fingers. Mercedes and Finn stopped laughing and looked at the 2 boys who were currently just staring at each other, grins the size of manhatten on their faces.

"Jesus guys, no eye sex in front of me!" Finn whined as he screwed his face up at the sight of his brother and his boyfriend doing something with their eyes.

"Man that's hot when you look at each other like that" Mercedes said as she gazed at Kurt and Blaine, everyones mouths fell open at her words.

"Mercedes!" They all shouted in shock turning towards her their eyes wide.

"Woops did I say that out loud" Mercedes said as her eyes widened looking at everyone, her cheeks started to glow as she realised what she had just said. "Sorry but it was" Mercedes said as Kurt rolled his eyes.

"And Finn we were not having eye sex" kurt said turning to look at Finn, scolding him with his words as Finn mouthed sorry.

"Weren't we?" Blaine asked frowning in confusement, he thought they were. Kurt turned and wacked Blaine across the head like a naughty child.

"Ow that hurt" Blaine whimpered as he rubbed his head, Blaine nudged Finn with his shoulder as he heard him snigger beside him.

"Good maybe it will get your mind out of the gutter" Kurt said to a pouting Blaine in front of him. "You're getting as bad as David" Kurt added as he rolled his eyes at him. Blaines face dropped a pained expression on his face as he got compared to David.

I'm not as bad as him Blaine thought to himself as he glared at Mercedes and Finn who were both sniggering again. Kurt reached for Blaines hand that was rubbing his head and brought it down to hold it tenderly in his.

"Anyway, I was smiling because its nice that the 3 people I love most in the world... not including my Father or Carol" Kurt said smiling in turn at his three companions "Are enjoying each others company"

Mercedes, Finn and Blaine looked at each other and smiled as they turned back to Kurt smiles on all of their faces.

"Yes it is" Mercedes said as she placed her hand over Kurts and Blaines followed closely by Finns as he nodded in agreement. All 4 friends sat like this for a few moments grinning at each other.

"Hu Humm" The waitress said trying to gain their attention, all 4 jumped and turned to face the waitress. "I see you've all decided to share him" She said as she indicated to their now entwined hands. Everyone looked down at their joined hands, Blaine and Finn pulled their hands away as they realised that some how their fingers had become entwined with each other.

"Sorry" both boys said nervously together as they blushed and started to fidget slowly moving further a part. Mercedes and Kurt grinned as they watched the boys who responded by glaring at them.

"Well each to their own" the waitress added as she placed the plates down in front of the guys. Mercedes, Blaine and Finn looked up at her frowning confused by her words, they looked back at Kurt who just smiled and shrugged as he started to eat the food that was placed in front of him. The 3 newly reformed friends sat and stared at Kurt their frowns deepening as they watched him enjoying his 3 course meal, their eyes slipped to the basket of chips that had been placed in front of them. Kurt looked up at them each in turn raising his eyebrows in question.

"You guys not hungry?" Kurt asked innocently as he cut up a piece of chicken from his plate.

"How come you have.." Blaine said pointing to Kurts plate confusement all over his face as Kurt looked at him blankly.

"And we have..." Mercedes finished for him pointing to the bowl of chips, up Kurt turned to face her looking even more innocently before a sly smile crept on his face.

"Never ignore Kurt Hummel" Kurt said with an air of smugness as he placed the marinated chicken into his mouth, he closed his eyes and moaned savouring the taste. Mercedes, Blaine and Finn looked at each other for a moment they were so not impressed, they slowly smiled at each other and turned back to Kurt who was still sitting with his eyes shut. Kurt slowly opened his eyes licking his lips to gather the lingering taste on his lips, Kurt froze as he saw 3 grinning faces looking at him uneasily looked at them each in turn.

"Guys!" Kurt whispered as he started to grip his plate just before 3 pairs of hands reached for his food each taking one of his plates.

"Hey!" Kurt shouted as he reached for his food to grab them back receiving a slapped hand from each of them in response. Kurt sat there watching his friends wolfe down his food, grinning at him between their mouthfuls. Kurt glared at each of them he was so not impressed, he looked towards the bowl of chips and screwed up his face as he reached and took one. Taking a bite he suddenly started to smile as a realisation came over him, Mercedes, Finn and Blaine stopped eating and looked at Kurts grinning face. They looked at each other nervously wandering why Kurt was now smiling like a cheshire cat after being left with the bow of chips.

Just wait til they get the bill Kurt thought to himself grinning all I have to pay for is a bowl of chips!
