The following week progressed way too slowly for both boys. They kept in touch with endless text messages, emails and chats on the phone in the evenings. They were both so busy with school, Glee Clubs, music lessons etc.. There was no time to meet up during the week. Kurt kept asking Blaine about the date, where they were going, what he should wear, but Blaine remained tight lipped about the whole evening.
After school on Thursday, Blaine arrived home to find his mother sitting at the kitchen table. In front of her sat a small brown paper bag under which Blaine could see some leaflets. She asked Blaine to sit down. He dropped his school bag onto the floor, took off his blazer and loosened his tie. Mrs Anderson cleared her throat. "Blaine, I am aware you and I had 'the talk' a number of years ago but I feel considering recent events we should have another one, a slightly different one" Blaine didn't like where this was going, he kept looking at the brown paper bag dreading what was inside. One of the leaflets was sticking out from under the bag and he was sure he could see the word BOY or BOYS on the cover.
Mrs Anderson continued "I took the liberty of visiting the free health clinic this morning and I picked up a few things for you" Blaine groaned and let his head fall on to the kitchen table "Mom, please don't do this to me" She leaned over and patted him on the head. "Blaine dear I appreciate you already know about sex in general but you need to know how to...well... prepare for sex with another boy, er man" Blaine lifted his head "Mom please, I already went on the internet this week and read some stuff, I know what to do" "oh" Mrs Anderson seemed a little surprised. "well, that was very sensible of you. Do you have any questions you'd like to ask me?" "NO" Blaine groaned out "ok, I guess you should keep those anyway (gesturing down to the bag and leaflets) just in case you need a little more information." She carried on brightly "I picked up a leaflet up on oral sex too, it's directed at women but I guess it applies to men too, you know same...well... techniques etc..." Blaine groaned again and let his head fall onto the table once more "MOM PLEASE STOP you're killing me here" "fine, fine, I'm done, I just have one other thing to say" Blaine lifted his head "sex is special Blaine, it's an important, well, event between two people, especially when one or both of them has never experienced it before. So before you rush into anything with Kurt, or whomever it might be, just be sure it's the right time for both of you, once it's done you cannot take it back." She smiled and Blaine nodded "I understand" "good then I suggest you put these, 'things' somewhere your father won't find and get ready for dinner"
Blaine picked up the brown paper bag, leaflets, his blazer and bag and headed up to his room. He closed the door and dropped everything onto his bed. He looked at the paper bag and turned it upside down, a box of condoms and a bottle of lube fell out onto the bed "Jesus mom" he muttered under his breath. He grabbed the leaflets, condoms and lube and shoved them into a drawer under some clothes, and got ready for dinner.
Kurt decided he really should tell his Dad and Carole that he was going on a date with Blaine. Thursday evening over dinner he spoke up. "Dad, Carole I have something to tell you" They both stopped eating and looked at him. "Yes?" "Well, tomorrow evening, I am going out with Blaine" Burt looked confused "and?" "Blaine and I are going out, on a date" Carole spoke "with Amy and Simon that's nice honey, where are you all going?" Kurt shook his head and laughed "No, Blaine and I are going out on a date, just the two of us... together" Burt put down his fork "You and Blaine?" Kurt nodded "since when is Blaine..." "Dad please, it all happened last weekend, I think we both kinda realised how we felt and anyhow we are going on a proper date tomorrow evening" Carole still looked confused "what about Amy and Simon?" "oh, we broke up with them" Carole raised her eyebrows and looked at Burt "kids today!" Burt picked up his fork and continued to eat, mumbling something under his breath.
