A/N: Guess what, y'all? Yesterday (July 5th) was my birthday! As my gift to you (although it should be ME to receive gifts, LOL), I give you the number 1 father in the fictional world…Burt Hummel. :D

Sarahamanda Klaine: Okie dokie.:D

yaoilover1013: Make sure to come out of your bliss and return to the real world ASAP. :P

GleekyPatronusWolfyStarkid: Will there be a wedding? *Darren doesn't know* :P

ChrisColfer2050: This is it. You aren't dreaming and you're still completely sane. :D

martyanderson: PerhapsBlaine might unfriend Sebastian after this. :D

Wingedgirl18: Okie dokie. :D

Minipop9: Will there be a wedding? *Darren doesn't know* :P

Candy Criss: Marriage is sacred even to the vampires. A marriage is the ultimate deal to let everyone knows that someone is taken or untouchable and only belongs to their respective spouses. Ruth and Christian were married because of love and so will Blaine and Kurt. :D

aLe-aLi16: I'll have you breathless next. :P

blaze2201: I'm dead serious. :P

Jov: Will there be a wedding? *Darren doesn't know* :P

Marierux: We're getting closer to the mpreg. :D

Rene95: Oh yeah! :D

darrenchriss shipper: Blaine won't change his mind but Kurt might. *dun dun dun* :P

Reader: Blaine doesn't have any intentions to turn Kurt but he will do it if Kurt wanted to. But one thing for sure, neither of them is gonna be left behind. They'll either live together forever or die together. *dun dun dun* :P

jellybean1990: It won't be much the same after this. :D

cold kagome: Will there be a wedding? *Darren doesn't know* :P

goldconverse: You'll find out soon. :D

Hr98: :D

silver woman: Just so you know, Blaine isn't precisely portrayed like Kyouhei. He's his own person. Yeah, you will get Klaine sex soon. :D

BowtiesandMusicals: There's Burt in the next chapter. :D

msgoodbar2257: You'll find out soon. :D

ChoraCriss: Yup, without Sebastian the story will be pretty dull. Yeay, I'm a superhero and my power is to write fics! :D

Midnights Flower: *pinches you* Still think you're dreaming? :P

LvSammy: Would you like to be cremated or buried? :P

StarlightGleek1: Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling. :P

Cheshire: What about tease!Blaine? Would it be hot enough for you? :D

inspiredandmotivated: Sebastian's behavior made Blaine see things through. I guess you're indebted to Sebastian for making Blaine change his mind about marriage. :P

alistarzz: Will there be a wedding? *Darren doesn't know* :P

leahmo34: Thanks for the double birthday wish. You probably should thank Sebastian for making Blaine change his mind about marriage though. :P

Kurt was one-hundred percent sure he was dreaming. But after he pinched himself and felt the sting, it was obvious that he really wasn't. Part of him was hoping it was a dream because he certainly wasn't ready to discuss something as heavy as marriage but when he was proven to be living in the reality world, Kurt second theory was Blaine had lost his mind and clearly wasn't thinking straight. He blamed it on the blood detox that the vampire had been going through but then again, Blaine seemed absolutely fine. Blaine did feed from Kurt a few hours earlier to regain back his strength before Sebastian 'kidnapped' him after all.

So Blaine's proposal was without a doubt legit.

San Francisco's weather was a bit chilling that night and Kurt began to feel cold sweat trailing down his face. He honestly didn't know how to react. His own self was confused. He loved his boyfriend with all his heart but he wasn't sure if he was ready to be a husband. To make things worse, Blaine didn't say anything. He was probably giving Kurt some time to fully grasp his words but it was evidence as time flew by the vampire was getting impatient. Blaine's gaze was intense and to be honest, it made Kurt feel pretty uncomfortable.

Kurt finally decided to end the silence and uttered the first thing that came up in his mind. "Why?"

"What Sebastian had done…there might be others who will do the same." Blaine gawked at Kurt pointedly. "I don't know why Sebastian did it but I can't take that chance. It's better if you're by my side at all times."

"But I am always by your side." Kurt replied quietly, not wanting to spook anyone including himself.

Realizing Kurt was beginning to freak out, Blaine closed in their distance. "But you're nobody."

Kurt's expression appeared hurt instantly, causing Blaine to curse himself for choosing the wrong words. He cupped Kurt's face, staring into the man's startling blue eyes. "You mean everything to me but to the public's eyes, to the vampires at least…you're nobody."

"But you said you'd never marry me." Kurt muttered.

Blaine exhaled noisily. "Yeah, that's what I thought then. That was what I wanted but the circumstances had dramatically changed, Kurt. Back then I didn't want to get you involved in the vampire's world but that's not a consideration anymore. Your status is vague and I need to change that because it can put you in danger. I need to claim you as mine in order for the other vampires not to lay their fingers on you."

"Claim?" Kurt faintly scoffed. "I'm not a lost and found item, Blaine."

"You belong to me anyway, no matter if we're married or not. I need you safe, Kurt and if marriage can help clear up some problems, I don't mind getting married." Blaine queried flatly, without giving away any expressions whatsoever.

Kurt bit the inside of his mouth, feeling angry and hurt with Blaine's insensitive statement. "So you're saying you want to get married just for convenience?"

"Yes." Blaine admitted straightaway, making Kurt indignant even more but then the vampire smirked. His expression was gleeful. "And also…because I love you."

"I hate you." Kurt's face was hot, realizing Blaine was toying with him.

"I got you, don't I? You were all disturbed and ready to explode. It's adorable. You are adorable." Blaine said charmingly, tweaking Kurt's nose.

Kurt blushed. "So, the uh…you're um…proposing…for real?"

"Indeed I am." Blaine grinned, staring at Kurt face to face. "I'm going to ask you again. Will you marry me?"

Kurt smiled, ready to say yes but then realization came to him. His smile faltered and he seemed a little bit worried. There was someone…someone important that would have a fit when they knew about this.

"What's wrong?"

"My dad…" Kurt breathed. "How will I explain all of this to him? He's not going to agree. He doesn't even know I'm dating you!"

Blaine instantly brooded. "Your father doesn't have a say in any of this."

Kurt sighed, knowing Blaine was going to react like this. "My dad is very strict about manners, Blaine. He'd want to see you before agreeing on anything."

"What are you trying to accomplish by bringing me together with your father? Do you want me to go 'please give me your son's hand in marriage', is that it?" Blaine clearly wasn't happy.

"That's not what I mean…" Kurt sighed again. "It's just that I'm his only child. He'd want to get to know his future son-in-law first. Who knows maybe you two can get along well?"

Blaine immediately let out a scorn. "That's ridiculous. The marriage is between you and me. I have no intention of getting involved with your family at all."

"Could you pretend to be a human for once?!" Kurt was half-shouting, exasperated. "My dad has to give the son he raised all by himself to a man he doesn't even know. If I beg you to just let him see you and talk to you…if I want him to feel at ease about this…is it really too much to ask? It's important to my dad…and me." He finished with a sad tone.

"Fine." Blaine grumbled, knowing very well he could never say no to Kurt but he would keep the fact just to himself. The blue eyed man would definitely use it as an advantage against him. It wasn't that he mind to please Kurt but for both of their sakes, it was better if Kurt didn't know. He sighed in relief when he saw a Mojave metallic BMW 5-Series was approaching. "Arrange a dinner with your father. We're going to see him this weekend."

Kurt Hummel was nervous as hell. He was sweating and it undoubtedly had nothing to do with the hot July air. He had tried to calm himself down a little bit but he was failing miserably. This matter was important and all his senses knew that too, making him tingly all over. He had asked for a day off just for this so he could see his dad and tell his old man himself about his engagement before Burt met Blaine for dinner that Sunday.

Burt was going to be shocked, that's for sure. Kurt just hoped his dad wouldn't have another heart attack or a stroke.

"Dad, t-there's a reason why I'm here. I…I have something to tell you."

Burt Hummel furrowed, and his concerned double. He was already worried when Kurt showed up earlier that day and now his son wanted to talk. He had been thinking about the worst case scenarios by now. "What is it, son? You're scaring me. Please tell me you're okay. You're not dying, are you?"

Kurt chuckled nervously. "I'm fine, Dad. It's…It's something else."

"O…kay." Burt's voice wavered. "Just spill it, kiddo."

"I'mgettingmarried." Kurt stated speedily, hoping his dad had heard it and he didn't have to repeat it.

Burt gave Kurt a quizzical look. "Excuse me?"

Kurt took a deep breath, braving himself. "I'm getting married."

Burt's eyes widened, mouth parted wide in shocked. "C-Come again?" He queried again, not truly believing it.

"I'm engaged…well, not exactly but you get the point." Kurt once again let out a fretful laugh.

"To whom?" Burt prompted.

Kurt gnawed on his lips. "Blaine…"

Burt raised an eyebrow. "Blaine who?"

"Blaine…Anderson." Kurt uttered timidly.

"Blaine Anderson?" Burt frowned, thinking. "Why does that name sound familiar? Wait…" He gasped, turning to face his boy. Kurt nodded, knowing his dad had put the puzzle together.

"You're engaged to Christian Anderson's son?! The Christian Anderson?!" Burt shrieked loudly, not in anger but in surprise.

Kurt could only nod. Burt threw his cap on the coffee table, rubbing his suddenly throbbing forehead. He was honestly stunned to the core.

Kurt gawped at his dad anxiously, not knowing what was on the man's mind. He would be truly devastated if his dad opposed his marriage to Blaine. "Dad, please say something."

"Just to think how you used to say the worst things about him, buddy." Burt pointed out.

Kurt's face reddened. It was true. The first couple of months he worked for Blaine at AnderBros Entertainment, he couldn't stop running a commentary about how horrible Blaine was to his dad every single night after he was back home from work. Words like brute, playboy, selfish, arrogant and so forth had been used constantly during that time. And now, he was going to get married to that man. Of course his dad would be doubtful.

Burt gave Kurt a serious look. "I've heard bad rumors about him all the time, Kurt. Are you really alright with this?"

"Yes, Dad." Kurt stated sweetly. "Don't believe anything you heard...they probably aren't even true. Blaine is actually a good guy. He has been taking good care of me. I even gained a few pounds because of him. He makes me happy."

Burt gaped at his son skeptically. It was redundant but he had to ask anyway. "Are you even still a virgin?"

Kurt turned bashfully red. "I'm twenty-three years old, Dad…come on."

"The answer is no then." Burt mumbled. He was quite disappointed. Even though his kid was a boy, he had hoped Kurt would stay pure till his wedding day or at least till his thirtieth birthday because that would be a great birthday present, if you asked him. He wasn't old school. He did accept his son being gay, didn't he? He just didn't want Kurt to get hurt. A broken heart wasn't easy to fix. He just wanted to spare his son that pain.

Burt continued to ogle Kurt absorbedly for a moment, making the twenty-three year old agitated. His eyes were intense and his expression was incomprehensible.

"So, when will I get to meet him?"

A/N 2: I'm not trying to gain sympathy here but I need to let it all out. I had experienced the worst birthday ever this year. My so-called friends ditched me out when they promised to go out with me and celebrate my birthday (during lunch time because it was Friday and I was at work). They were so insensitive and I ended up going to the shopping mall all by myself, all alone, on my birthday. I cried all the way home. If it weren't for my mom who bought me cake and took me out to dinner last night, I don't know how I will cope in this cruel, selfish world. I'm so sorry for my rambling and thanks for your time. I wish you all a great weekend and I hope my writing is worth enough to make you remotely happy so you won't end up like me. XOXO, Ika.
