A/N: This one is a bit short :) But that is okay, right?


"What's up?" Kurt asked, sitting up.

"Are you sure this is a good idea? The road trip thing?" Finn muttered, walking further into the room.

Kurt nodded confidently. "Why?"

"Blaine doesn't strike me as one to…I dunno," Kurt could see him struggling for words. "Like, what's the most time you've spent together?"

Kurt blinked. "I've stayed over his house once or twice…with the other Warblers,"

Finn sighed. "Exactly. You've never really spent time alone together,"

"What's your point?"

"Well…what if he's not so…social after a couple of days together. What if you get sick of each other?"

Kurt narrowed his eyes. "Do you have something against him?"

"No…it's just…"

Kurt sighed. "I love him Finn," Finn cringed a little.

"I know that…but…"

"What?"

Finn sighed. "Blaine...he gives off this weird vibe sometimes, like there's something lurking behind his eyes,"

"He's had a rough past. Can you blame him?"

"Kurt…think about this carefully. Do you really want to spend a year with someone you barely know?"

"I don't barely know him. I really know him." Kurt huffed, getting impatient. "Finn, I am…flattered, that you are concerned, but I don't need looking after,"

Finn frowned thoughtfully. "Right…whatever," He left Kurt on his own. "Just…be careful, okay?"

^.^

"Maybe we can trust Blaine…Kurt made some valid points," Carole reasoned, sitting on the bed.

"He's a good kid, but…" Burt paced uncomfortably. "They're gay."

Carole frowned at this. "What?"

"What if Blaine has been with…other guys,"

Carole sighed with relief. She didn't think Burt was that much of a homophobe. "I doubt anything like that would happen,"

"But if it does!"

"Then it'll happen for all the right reasons. I think Blaine is a smart kid…they'd use protection and…" Burt was cringing.

"What do you think…would you let them go?"

Carole laughed. "I said yes from the very beginning. It's you who didn't want them to go,"

Burt sighed. "Kurt's my little boy,"

"You're going to have to let go of him sometime,"

"But…"

Carole sighed with a smile, massaging Burt's tense shoulders. "They'll be fine,"

^.^

Blaine rang the doorbell, grinning at Carole when she opened the door.

"Hey Blaine, sorry about yesterday,"

"No worries, I probably overreacted," Blaine smiled charmingly and Carole laughed.

"It was our fault, we didn't mean it,"

Blaine just shook his head good-naturedly and strode into the kitchen, finding a showered and perfected Kurt sulking over a mug of coffee. Blaine laughed and placed a hand on his shoulder as Burt walked in.

"We've talked," Burt started, and the two boys looked up expectantly. "And we've come to a decision,"

The suspense was killing them.

"You can go," Blaine grinned and Kurt jumped up. "But…you have to call us at least once a week."

Kurt scoffed. "That's hardly a restriction,"

"That's not all," Carole interrupted, and their faces fell slightly. "You have to get a B average on all your classes for the end of your year,"

"Oh…" Kurt muttered.

Blaine elbowed him gently. "Thank you so much…"

"Just remember our bargain,"

The two left the room, and Kurt let his head fall onto the table in defeat.

"What's wrong?" Blaine asked, sitting down next to his boyfriend.

"I'm struggling with Geometry," Kurt muttered, "I'm barely passing,"

Blaine just grinned. "I," he started triumphantly, "Happen to be excellent at Geometry. I'll tutor you,"

Kurt grinned, but he was still worried. "What about you? Think you can get the B average?"

Blaine shrugged. "Our curriculum is easy, remember? Well…I think so, at least,"

"Show off," Kurt grinned, earning a chaste kiss.

"And proud of it," Blaine grinned back. "You want to come shopping?"

Kurt brightened, but immediately looked suspicious. "What for…?" Blaine had never offered to go shopping before.

"Well, we're going to Australia…it's hot down under…so..." Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"I haven't passed yet…"

"But you will,"

Kurt just grinned and finished his coffee, immediately brightening.

"Well…you did just willingly offer to go shopping, so how can I refuse?"

Blaine just shook his head with a smile, closing the door on his way out.


A/N: Ahh, jumped over that hurdle quite easily, but can Kurt pass Geometry?
