I own nothing.
A/N: For those who read chapter six before I changed the scene with Mercedes and Kurt, I am so sorry about that. I added the last bit and forgot things. But, thank you to sapphiretwin369 that caught it.

On Saturday, Kurt and Blaine's five o'clock phone call lasted until six. Their conversation consisted of two debates; Katy Perry verses Lady Gaga and Madonna verses Britney Spears. The debate never really ended and the two called it a draw.

And on Sunday, Kurt was the one to call. Their conversation lasted an hour but that was okay with them. Blaine talked about his day with Eli and Danielle in Springfield when he and Eli had followed Danielle there. Kurt talked about his shopping spree with Mercedes.

Monday, their phone call lasted almost two hours. They talked about magazines, other interests, and music again. They had agreed on a movie date at Kurt's house for the next day. Furthermore, that's how they spent almost an hour talking about movies and what they were into.

So, the two of them were seated on Kurt's couch not really paying much attention to A Walk to Remember and tried not to be awkward.

Blaine licked his lips. Kurt was picking at a nail as his hands were folded in his crossed legs. Kurt forced himself to stay focused on the movie, but that didn't stop him from feeling Blaine's eyes on him every once and a while.

Kurt continued to play with his hands as the movie passes on with the plot. Blaine kept thinking of ways to make the situation less awkward, but he fought with every situation and ended up doing nothing.

Finally, Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand from his lap. He stopped and just held the hand in the air between them. Kurt's head snapped towards him in confusion. "You're going to regret taking that nail off."

Blaine smiled when Kurt relaxed. Kurt returned the smile and looked at their hands clapped together. "Um…"

"Is this too much?" Blaine asked.

Kurt smiled and replied with a short answer, "No."

Blaine looked at their hands again and released his hand. He gave a chuckle at Kurt's confused face and slipped his fingers in between Kurt's and comfortably relaxed them in the hold.

A smile of comfort came across Kurt's face. A smirk came afterwards; he scooted closer to Blaine and got close enough for Kurt to move the intertwined hands down on their upper thighs. "This all right?"

A nod came from Blaine as he gave Kurt's hand a slight squeeze.

The two ended up with a paused movie after thirty minutes. They got up and got something to drink. Their hands didn't return in its holding when they returned to the couch.

The movie started once more. Kurt and Blaine both knew what was going to happen at the end and they were leading up to the finish.

Kurt tried his hardest to not tear up and he survived. Blaine knew what was happening, but didn't bother paying attention. He sucked in his cheeks as he watched Kurt in the corner of his eye.

"That was nice," Blaine said two movies later. Kurt and Blaine were standing by the door.

Kurt gave a smile, "Yeah, it was." Kurt licked his lips. Blaine's eyes trailed down and watched for a few seconds before bringing his eyes back up to meet Kurt's.

"We'll call each other tonight and talk?" Blaine knew the answer, but for the sake of conversation he said it.

"Of course," Kurt smiled.

Blaine bit his lip before he brought Kurt close to him and wrapped his arms around him. Kurt stopped for a mere second before he followed Blaine's actions. Blaine slightly pulled away and brushed his lips to Kurt's cheek. He gave a small kiss and pulled away.

Kurt's face flushed slightly and smiled with happiness. Blaine's dashing smile flashed on his face, "I'll see you later, Kurt."

The addressed nodded his head, "Yeah… I'll call you tonight." He reassured him.

Blaine's smile stuck, "Sounds like a plan."

"Did ya kiss him?" Danielle's voice spoke in Blaine's ear.

Blaine laughed, "His cheek."

He heard a groan from Danielle, "His cheek? Do you not want to kiss him?"

Blaine's eyebrows scrunched in confusion, "Huh? Of course I do…"

"Then do it already!"

"It's not that simple," he sighed. "We did hold hands, though." Blaine could just see Danielle shake her head.

"Blaine, you really are clueless when it comes to boys. You're amazingly great at being the gentleman and giving him respect. But you need to loosen up, man!"

Blaine couldn't help but laugh at his sister, "Are you my love therapist?"

"That's what you called me for, isn't it?" Danielle's voice was strong and knowing. Blaine knew she was just being a smartass.

"You're hilarious, Dani." Blaine's sarcasm shinned through.

Danielle let out laughter, "Trust me! Just march right up to Kurt and just grab him like you can't wait anymore! And make sure you don't bump noses, because that'll defeat the purpose. Oh! And don't forget to slip—"

"Dani!" Blaine snapped.

His sister laughed, "Blaine, chill." Silence fell between the two as their phones were pressed to their ears. "I better go… My stupid homework won't do it itself."

"That's true." Blaine thought for a moment, "It's just a few more days." Blaine smiled to himself, "We all can't wait to have you home."

"Oh yes. Thanksgiving lunch at Uncle Andrew's house!" Danielle joked.

Blaine chuckled, "It's not that bad. Quinn's joining us."

Danielle gasped, "Really? Good! I like her."

"Yeah, she's okay. She knows Kurt."

Danielle's voice was dripping in disbelief, "No way."

"Yeah… they went to school together and were in glee club together."

"Well that's exciting."

"Yes, yes. But we really should get off the phone. You have homework, idiot."

A laugh came, "Okay, okay. I love you."

"Love you too."

"So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?" Kurt asked Blaine over their nightly phone call.

"Oh, well… Thursday, my dad's family comes to our house and we have a nice lunch. And Friday, we go over to my Uncle Zack's. My mother's family is always there, maybe with the exception of a few." Blaine thought a moment, "I get to see Wes and Anna."

"Really? Why?"

Blaine gave a pathetic chuckle, "Oh… Wes is dating my cousin, Jill."

"Oh. Well, that's nice."

"Yeah. I think I heard Finn say something about Lima for you guys?"

A silence came from Kurt's end, but quickly he recovered, "Mhmm. Rachel, Finn, and I are going back up to Lima. We're having Rachel's dads join us."

"Dads?"

"She has two gay dads. It's a really long story." Kurt bit his lip and moved from his couch to the kitchen. He looked around for anything to eat.

"Ah… Are you okay, Kurt? You seem really quiet."

"I'm fine," Kurt reassured.

"Are you sure?"

Kurt licked his lips, "Yes, I'm sure."

"Positive?"

"Yes!" Kurt slightly snapped. He shut his eyes, "I'm just tired."

Blaine's eyebrows folded in confused, "Do you need me to let you go?"

"No! No, you don't need to let me go. I'm sorry… I'm fine, Blaine."

Blaine went silent for a good amount of time before he spoke again, "Do you have Skype?"

"I think this will come in handy over Thanksgiving." Blaine smiled when he saw Kurt's face.

Kurt chuckled, "Yeah, I guess so."

Blaine watched Kurt and tried to figure out if something was wrong. Kurt did look tired and he looked like he needed a good night's sleep. "How many hours of sleep do you usually get?"

Kurt's eyebrows shot up, "Uh," Kurt looked down at his phone. "About eight to nine hours." Kurt looked at Blaine in confusion.

Blaine took an inhaled breath, "And lately?"

"It varies." Kurt said bluntly.

"Well, what about last night?" Blaine's jaw tightened.

"Six hours." Kurt sat up straight. Blaine narrowed his eyes and thinned his lips. "Okay, four and a half." Kurt confessed.

Blaine's eyebrows scrunched together and he shook his head, "Have you been doing things or can you not just get to sleep?"

Kurt bit his lip and rubbed his knee that was folded over his other leg. "Do we have to talk about this?"

Blaine nodded his head, "How often does this happen, Kurt?"

"Not very often. Blaine, can we talk about something else? I really don't want to talk about my sleep problems."

Blaine allowed his face to show hurt for just a moment as he straightened his back. Kurt took a deep breath and looked away from the computer screen. His breath caught in his throat slightly.

Kurt quickly regretted the way he told Blaine to drop the issue. Blaine could tell of his regret and watched Kurt's face.

"Kurt?" Blaine's voice was calm. Kurt snapped his head back to Blaine's face on the screen. "It's okay. We don't have to talk about it."

He gave a grateful smile. The two were quiet for just a few seconds that felt like minutes before Kurt decided to change the subject. "Should we do this instead of phone calls?" Kurt's face flushed.

Blaine let out a laugh, "If you want to." Kurt nodded his hand in eagerness. "Then we will. It'll be nice; to see each other in between our dates." Blaine gave a wink.

Kurt gave a true smile, "That sounds amazing."

As the two talked about different things, singing came up once again.

"We should find a musical to watch and just sing." Blaine suggested. "That way, it'll be in a comfortable environment."

Kurt nodded his head, "That sounds great. Which musical should we watch?"

"Um…" Blaine bit his lip, "Do you like RENT?"

"Of course!" Kurt exclaimed in excitement.

Blaine chuckled at his thrill, "Great. How about we have the date here?" Blaine looked around his room.

Kurt smiled, "Sure. Your room looks big…" Kurt observed.

Blaine smirked and shrugged, "Yeah, I guess so. I don't need this much space, but… you saw our house."

"Yeah, that's true. When should we have our date?" Kurt smiled.

Blaine thought a moment, "It probably needs to be before Thursday."

Kurt nodded, "So… tomorrow?" Kurt laughed.

"It's… It is Tuesday, isn't it?" Blaine bit his lip in embarrassment and smiled. Kurt nodded his head and smiled fondly. "Bring my jacket, will you? I let it at your house today."

"I saw your jacket earlier! I meant to mention it to you." Kurt's face was once again stuck in a smile.

"Well, that's okay. I'll see you tomorrow, then? I heard my dad's car outside." Blaine looked to the side to his window.

Kurt nodded, "Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow. I might have to call you with directions. I'm bad that stuff like that." Kurt smirked when he confessed.

The two said their final goodbyes.

XxX

Blaine shut his computer and went downstairs to greet his father. The events of what could happen the next day were stuck in his head, not leaving.

During the dinner, Blaine mentioned the date to his parents. Andrew just raised his eyebrows and continued to eat. Melanie, on the other hand, put down her fork. "Are you and this Kurt getting serious, Blaine?"

Blaine's face flushed. "Mom, it'll only be the third date."

She raised her head slightly and smiled, "And you said Eli set you two up?" Blaine's head nodded. "Well, I'm not leaving."

"Mom… It's not that big of a deal." Blaine was about to continue when he was cut off.

"Then I can stay." She gave a smirk and picked up her fork and went back to eating.

Blaine bit his lip, "If you want… I guess. But we're going to just watch RENT."

Andrew couldn't resist, "And where were you planning on doing so?"

He snapped his head towards his father, "My room."

"Why not the living room?"

Blaine scrunched his eyebrows in confusion, "Uh, I just thought my room would be more comfortable. We're going to be watching a musical; probably be singing."

Andrew opened his mouth to say something when Melanie cut him off, "Andrew!" She snapped her voice. She turned back to Blaine, "I think it's a good idea to have some privacy in your room. It's fine. But I'm staying, okay?" Blaine nodded, "I won't bother you."

Blaine smiled in gratitude. He took a look at his father and watched him. Andrew returned to his food and ate, avoiding his family.

After eating, they all returned to their own business. Blaine was on his bed thinking about Kurt's sleeping problem and how they had that small argument.

He pulled out a random book and began to read for a bit. He couldn't put it down, and after a while, he looked at the clock and smiled. Blaine took out his phone and flipped through his contacts before finding Kurt Hummel. He sent a text message.

It's 10, lovely. Get to bed, will you?

Blaine set the phone on his bed beside him and waited for Kurt's reply. He face lit in a smile when his phone beeped for a new text message.

'You would, Blaine. I'll try.' Came Kurt's reply.

Blaine bit his lip and typed a reply, 'Will you? Sleep is your friend, Kurt.' He tried his hardest to make it sound light and friendly.

Kurt's reply came, 'Lol, okay okay. I'll get to bed.'

The reply Blaine typed was quick, 'Good boy :)'

A knock came from his door. He put his phone down, "Come in," He guessed it was his father and he guessed right.

"Hey, Blaine."

"Hi," he answered Andrew.

"I wanted to apologize." Andrew inhaled through his nose, "Can I sit?" he motioned towards the end of the bed. Blaine raised his eyebrows and nodded his head. Andrew took a seat, "I'm sorry for how I acted at dinner."

Blaine looked away for a moment, "Dad, it wasn't anything major. Not a big deal." He gave him a reassuring smile.

Andrew shook his head, "I overreacted, whether or not I showed it." Blaine swallowed and looked at him.

"Why would you overreact anyway? I'm twenty. I can take care of myself."

The phone beeped for a text message, but Blaine ignored it. Andrew shot a look at Blaine's phone, "I know. I guess I just… I'm trying to protect you."

Blaine thinned his lips, "You haven't even met Kurt…"

"Well maybe it's time I do." Blaine sat up straight. "What's he doing for Thursday or Friday?"

Blaine's eyebrows shot up, "He… Dad, he has his own family in Lima to go to." Andrew nodded his head and licked his lips in thought. "You can meet him later?"

Andrew nodded his head and smiled lightly, "Yeah. Later." The phone beeped its remembering for the text message. He nodded towards the phone, "You better answer him. I'll get out of your hair. Get to bed soon, okay?"

"How'd you know it was Kurt?" Blaine asked as Andrew went to the door.

Andrew smiled at his son, "I didn't." He winked and left the room.

A smile spread on Blaine's face and looked down at his phone at Kurt's text, 'What time were you thinking for tomorrow? Forgot to ask.'

Blaine smirked and typed a reply, 'Noon?'

He waited anxiously for Kurt's reply. Though, a part of him wishes that Kurt fell asleep. Still, his phone beeped Kurt's reply, 'That's fine.'

Blaine smiled. He bit his lip and typed the question he was extremely nervous about, 'Would you like to join my mom and me for lunch then?'

He took a deep breath in and out and moved the phone back and forth in his hands. He really shouldn't be nervous but he was nonetheless.

'I would love to. Should I bring anything? Arrive earlier?' Kurt's reply came.

Blaine felt like a kid when he bounced on his bed. He jumped off of his bed and ran downstairs. He found Melanie in her bedroom. He knocked on the door.

Melanie looked up from the book she was reading and smiled, "What is it?"

"I was wondering if it was okay for Kurt to join us for lunch tomorrow." Blaine had his phone in his hand.

Melanie's face didn't respond, but licked her lips. "Sure, that's fine sweetie. I can't wait to meet him." She smiled at her son.

Blaine nodded his head, "He's wondering if he needs to bring anything."

Melanie laughed, "You already asked him, huh?" Blaine shrugged in embarrassment. "Tell him he doesn't need to bring anything. Lunch will be at noon."

Blaine smiled widely, "Thanks, mom!" She nodded.

He walked away as she turned back to her book. Blaine quickly typed a reply, 'No you don't need to bring anything or come earlier. Just bring yourself at noon. :)'

Blaine ended up in his bed again when Kurt answered, 'Okay. I guess I'll try and go to sleep now. See you tomorrow!'

A smiling Blaine typed one last message before putting his phone on the charger, 'Goodnight, lovely.'

Blaine's head fell down on the pillow. He got up and got ready for bed. And when Kurt's reply didn't come, he went back to the bed and quickly fell asleep.

XxX

Kurt was flipping through the text messages between him and Blaine. He smiled at the content. He didn't know what to think of having lunch with Blaine's mother, but he was hoping it was something good.

He plugged his phone in the charger and placed it on the bedside table. He smiled to himself as he thought about the next day.

His phone started to ring and he immediately sat up and grabbed the device. He was a bit disappointed when Rachel was the one calling.

"Hello, Rachel."

"Hey! Did I wake you?"

"No." Kurt said shortly.

"Good. So I wanted to talk to you about Thursday. Should we leave tomorrow night? Because I have a feeling tomorrow will be horrid to drive."

Kurt bit his lip, "Uh…"

"Finn said he called his mom and she said she'd be willing to have us tomorrow night."

"Okay…"

"So would that be okay with you? Or do you want to wait until Thursday? Because I would totally be okay either way. It all matters really to you and –"

"Rachel, it's really fine with me. I have a date with Blaine tomorrow. So what time were you thinking?"

"You do?" Rachel's voice was dripping with shock. "How's that going?"

"It's going fine, Rachel. But yes, I do."

"Oh… Okay. Well, we could leave at seven? Eight?"

Kurt shut his eyes, "Rachel, can we talk about this tomorrow? I have a headache and I really want to sleep." Well, technically he was feeling a headache coming along.

"Fine. When's your date so I can avoid calling then?"

"Noon." Kurt said quickly and shortly.

Good morning, sweetness.

Lol good morning.

Did you sleep at all?

Some, yeah.

How many hours?

Okay, sorry. Are you ready for today?

Yeah :) Are you sure I shouldn't bring anything?

Of course. You're our guest, Kurt.

Okay only if you're sure.

I am. See you in a few hours ;)

Kurt shook his head when he saw Quinn calling. "Hello?" Silence. "Quinn?"

"Kurt…" A soft whisper said.

"Quinn, what is it?" He stopped walking around and sat down on the couch. Blaine's jacket was placed beside him.

"I… Oh God, Kurt." Quinn's voice quivered.

"What is it? What's happened?"

"I sang with Sam." Quinn's voice was soft; Kurt barely heard her.

Kurt's eyebrows scrunched in confusion, "You sang with Sam?"

"Yes."

"Just singing happened?" Quinn's answer was the same. "Quinn, honey, I don't think that's a crime."

Quinn went silent for a moment, "I, I almost kissed him. His voice… I forgot how it felt to sing with him."

Kurt opened his mouth slightly and thought of what to say, "Quinn, do you still love Sam?"

Kurt heard Quinn gasp and hold her breath, "I don't know, Kurt… I don't know if I can even go back to Sam, or if I want to. I don't… I don't know if I could bear to do that to Josh. Oh God, Josh." He heard Quinn whimper.

Kurt bit his lip, "Listen to me, Quinn." The addressed girl went silent, "If you really care about Josh. I suggest you tell him. Keep it honest."

"You're right."

"Good. So, call him okay?"

"I… Should I wait until after Thanksgiving?"

"That's up to you, babe."

Quinn went silent for a moment. "Thank you, Kurt."

"Of course."

A laugh came from Quinn, "How are you and Blaine?"

Kurt shook his head nevertheless, "Quinn…"

"What? I'm curious. Is he a good kisser?"

Kurt's eyebrows shot up, "Quinn! My goodness. I don't know. We've only had our second date. We're developing first." The silence between them happened. "I'm seeing him at noon."

"Ooh, a date?"

"Possibly." Kurt smirked.

"You better get ready, then. Thanks for listening, Kurt."

Kurt smiled, "Of course, babe."

Hey, you.

KURT HUMMEL.

Answer me, man!

What is it Blaine?

Took you long enough.

So sorry lol. What is it?

I just wanted to say hello :)

Can I be honest with you?

What is it?

I'm a bit nervous about meeting your mom.

Hah you don't need to be. Mom will love you.

Well what if she doesn't?

I mean, really… Sometimes people don't like me.

What if she finds me weird?

My voice is a curse and it's annoying sometimes.

Maybe I shouldn't go. We can do the musical thing this weekend.

Are you done?

I guess so.

She'll love you. People do too like you. You aren't weird. Your voice is unique and very cute, not a curse.

Oh and I will extremely sad if you don't show up today. :(

Okay… If you say so.

I do sweetness.

Blaine looked at the clock; 11:35. He made his way down the stairs. He heard the television on, as well as noise in the kitchen.

His eyebrows scrunched in confusion as he stepped into the living room. He stopped a few feet away from the door way. His father was sitting on the couch, watching sports. "Dad?"

Andrew looked over at his son, "Hello, Blaine." He smiled.

"What are you doing home?"

"I called in sick." Andrew stood up and moved his way to pass Blaine. He quickly followed him to the kitchen.

Melanie turned her head as she saw the boys enter. "We still have some time. Have you talked to Kurt, Blaine?"

"Yeah, we've been talking through text…" Blaine looked back and forth between his parents. "Why are you here, dad?"

Melanie laughed, "Me and your father had a talk with Eli this morning. We talked about this Kurt character and we've decided that we should meet him."

"We've only known each other for four days…" Blaine was confused.

"Eli seems to think that he's a good guy that we deserve to meet." Andrew announced.

Blaine shook his head and left his parents in the kitchen.

Wes Parker blinked at Blaine. "Hello?" he answered.

"Hey! Listen, I can't get a hold of Jill so I have to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Do you think your family would mind if mom and I are a bit late? I have to take my mom to the doctor."

Blaine took a breath in, "What happened, Wes?"

"Nothing!" Wes replied quickly. "We just had to change an appointment and the only time was Friday at eleven."

Blaine took only a few moments, "Don't worry about it, Wes. Take your time, okay? We'll understand."

Wes' voice was dripping with gratitude, "Thank you, Blaine."

"Of course, Wes. But hey, I have to go. Kurt will be here soon."

"Oh yeah, I heard about you two. Congrats."

Blaine laughed, "Thank you? My parents are meeting him today." Blaine bit his lip.

"Really?" Wes laughed, "How long have you been together?"

"Uh…" Blaine as well laughed, "About four days, if you want to call it together."

Wes gave a laugh, "Of course, of course." Silence fell between them. "Well, why don't I let you go? Tell me how the meet goes."

"Oh you know I will." Blaine smiled. "Tell your mom I say hello."

"I will. I'll talk you later." The two said their goodbyes.

I'm leaving now. Still nervous.

Don't be! Oh by the way, my dad will be joining us. I'll tell you more when you get here.

Oh boy.

You'll be great :)

If you say so.

Now stop texting while you drive. And take the right way and not the long way.

A/N: Okay, so I'm guilty of make some pretty boring posts. But I do have plans, I promise!
