"His name is Kurt, he's a Senior at McKinley and his Dad is Blaine's boss at the garage. Plus he's really cute if you like that pale face, I spent an hour on my hair look" Paige told Kendall and Charlie as they piled back into their family van after the game. Laughing softly to himself, Blaine could hear every word his sisters were saying.
"Ooh the boss' son?" Charlie giggled. Blaine had set a drowsy Isabel up the front with him while the other five girls gossiped about his love life in the back. Pulling out of the car park, Blaine eavesdropped on the girls' conversation. "What else do we know about him?"
"His brother is the gorgeous quarterback for the McKinley team"
"Step brother" Blaine corrected even though no-one was listening to him.
"And he needs to learn to dress warmer because Blaine leant him his jacket halfway through the game" Paige chuckled.
After running into each other on the bleachers, Blaine asked Kurt if he wanted to join them to watch the game. Paige and Isabel happily listened in to their conversation through the entire game. They got all the gossip which they then could pass onto Kendall and Charlie later on. All four girls loved their brother and just wanted to see him happy.
Blaine was used to being the hot topic of gossip among his sisters when a guy just looked in his direction. The four of them were quite invested in his love life not that Blaine really had one in his opinion.
"Did Blaine ask him out?" Kendall asked hopefully
"No" he chuckled loud enough for them to hear "I appreciate the interest in my love life but I didn't ask him out"
"But why?" Charlie groaned.
"Because I have my hands full with you girls. Kurt is an amazing guy and I like him but life is a little too hectic at the moment but thanks for the concern"
"You need a boyfriend"
"I need a quiet car ride home, Isabel is asleep" he snapped finally having enough. Isabel wasn't quite asleep but she wasn't about to argue with a peaceful drive home. She smiled up at her brother and he knew it was her own silent way of saying thank you.
"But..." Charlie began before Blaine cut her off.
"My love life is none of your business so please can we keep it down for the rest of the drive? You girls have to be exhausted from all that cheering tonight"
"Ugh, you're no fun" Kendall grumbled softly thinking her brother couldn't hear her. The rest of the drive was pretty quiet except for when the girls said goodbye to Ashleigh and Courtney as Blaine dropped them home. Pulling into their own driveway a little while later, they all got out quietly. Blaine carried a now sleeping Isabel up to her bedroom while the other three lingered in the living room until their brother was out of ear shot.
"We need to get Kurt and Blaine together" Kendall insisted and crossed her arms across her chest. Sitting down on the arm of the couch, she looked to her sister's for encouragement.
"But Blaine said he doesn't have time for a boyfriend" Charlie pointed out
"Well then we just have to make time. We'll prove he's got time and then have some fun with it" she smirked "Coach Jenny cancelled Friday's cheer practice right?"
"Yeah..."
"How about a party? No Blaine"
"Good luck getting him to agree to that" Paige chuckled as she bid them goodnight and headed upstairs to her bedroom. She had no faith whatsoever in Kendall and her plan.
"He will be agreeing to a quiet girl's night just the four of us. We may just invite a few extra people..."
"Blaine is going to kill us" Charlie sighed "He is going to flip when he gets home to a party"
"He will have had such an amazing date with Kurt which we will convince him to go on, he'll be fine" Kendall assured her younger sister "Blaine needs to loosen up a little"
"If you say so..."
Kendall and Charlie devised their plan right down to the perfect moment to tell Blaine of their cancelled cheer practice. With a couple ideas as back up, the pair were confident they could get Blaine out of the house for at least one night. If for anything, Blaine needed some time to himself and they needed a house for a party.
Kendall, Charlie and Paige who had been told of the plan remained pretty quiet for the rest of the week. They helped out more around the house giving Blaine some time to himself to sit down at the piano for half an hour or finally pick up his Harry Potter books to read again. Trying to show their brother that he did have time for a boyfriend was all part of their plan. Blaine picked up on their sudden change in attitude but he wasn't about to argue when Charlie offered to do the dishes without him having to ask. He was making the most of whatever it was they were doing. Oblivious to the other advantage of getting him out of the house, Blaine was not going to like coming home to a party.

"Are you going to make me go in there alone?"
"Uh yeah, this was your idea"
"I know, but what if Plan A doesn't work? What if he's not there with Blaine?"
"Then we try Plan B, we've thought this through K" Charlie chuckled as the sisters bantered back and forth. Sitting in Kendall's car outside Hummel's Tires and Lube' the two sisters were there on a mission. "Go before either of them spot us and our whole plan is blown to pieces"
"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" Kendall pleaded softly "It's dirty in there"
"You are such a girl" the younger of the two laughed "Blaine won't buy it if I'm asking. It has to be you, you're the eldest, you're meant to be the responsible one"
"I am the responsible one thank you" Kendall sneered and got out of her car. It was kind of ironic that the 'responsible' one was about to lie to her brother to have a house party while he was out on a date. Straightening out her cheerleading skirt, Kendall took a deep breath as she walked into the garage. Noticing Kurt sitting behind the front desk, she made a beeline for him without looking for her brother first.
"Hi" she smiled sweetly
"Kendall, right?" Kurt chuckled as he looked up from the computer and the mess his father had made with the inventory reports
"Yeah, I was wondering if you could tell me where my brother was"
"98 Corolla" he smiled and looked back to the computer until he realised Kendall hadn't moved. She had that 'say what now?' expression plastered across her face "The white one on the left"
"Thanks" she chuckled and skipped off toward the car her brother was working on. Leaning on the side of the car, she waited for him to pull his head out from under the hood "Hi"
"I left money on the counter to order pizza and Isabel didn't get homework so there's no need to help her" he smiled and picked up the wrench he needed to keep working. Offering to take a late shift, Blaine had trusted Kendall with dinner and babysitting. She was going to be a Senior next year so he wanted her to prove she could show some responsibility. Having her hold down the fort while he worked was just a small step toward more responsibility.
"I know, I wanted to talk to you about something. I was going to wait til you got home but you're working so late and I have a heap of homework and I'll probably be asleep..."
"Kendall!"
"Right" she chuckled awkwardly realising that she'd been rambling "I wanted to know if Charlie, Paige, Isabel and I could have a girl's night tomorrow night. Just the four of us, without you..."
"Isn't that what you're getting tonight?"
"Not really... We've all got homework except for Isabel and school tomorrow. Friday night means no school, junk food, staying up late and chick flicks, a reward for us being so good this week..."
"I knew it was too good to be true" Blaine laughed and sat down on the edge of the car "I knew you four were up to something when you actually did your chores before I had to ask"
"So is that a yes?" Kendall giggled "You haven't had a night out since Mom and Dad died. You're a teenager, go be a teenager"
"Go be a teenager?"
"Yeah, grab some dinner or catch a movie with your friends, you could ask Kurt out..."
"I'm onto you Kendall Grace..."
"You know you want to..."
"So junk food, movies and staying up late? That's it?"
"That's it" the teenager smiled and crossed her fingers behind her back. She still believed that crossing her fingers behind her back while speaking a lie meant she wasn't really lying.
"Alright, you girls can have the house to yourselves tomorrow night. I will find something to do"
"Maybe you should see if Kurt's free..."
"Don't push it" he sighed lightly and looked down at his watch "Isabel's ballet class finishes in ten minutes"
"Alright, alright I'm going" Kendall giggled and kissed her brother's cheek with a smile "See you at home" Skipping back to the car, she slowed and calmed herself before Charlie could see her
"Did Plan A work or did you have to resort to Plan B?" Charlie asked anxiously as Kendall slipped back into the driver's seat emotionless. Turning to her little sister, a wide grin grew on Kendall's face "Plan A?"
"Plan A worked, Blaine's out of the house tomorrow night and on a date with Kurt. This party is a go"

"Is everything ok with Kendall?" Kurt asked curiously as Blaine made his way behind the front desk a little while later to check on the account for the Corolla he was working on. Taking a deep breath, Blaine decided to just bite the bullet. He liked Kurt and there was obvious chemistry between them. What could one night out together hurt?
"Are you free tomorrow night?"
"Yeah..."
"Would you like to grab some dinner, maybe see a movie with me?"
"L...Like a date?" the bronze haired boy chuckled softly biting his bottom lip.
"No not like a date, it is a date" Blaine smiled and picked up the file for the car he was working on "Pick you up at 8?"
"Sounds perfect"
Yay for Blaine giving into his feelings and biting that bullet. Your thoughts? Reviews make writers smile, well all the amazing reviews from you guys for this story do.
