Friday finally arrived... Kurt was beside himself with excitement, he hurried home from school to get ready. Blaine had finally told him to dress casual, which disappointed him a little as he had the perfect smart outfit already picked out. He showered, moisturised and spent ages doing his hair just right. He was ready...
Blaine got home a little later than he has hoped and was about to race up the stairs to change when his mother called him into the kitchen. He went in to find his mother and father sitting at the table. He father was scrolling through his blackberry not really paying attention.
"Blaine sweetheart, how was school?" "er fine thanks" His mother took a deep breath "Blaine I'm really sorry but..." Blaine's mind was racing, he was in a complete panic, please don't stop me from going out with Kurt was all he was thinking, his mother continued "but ...your father and I won't be home tonight" Blaine's heart stopped "it's the strangest thing, we booked tickets to go to see the opera next week, but when the tickets arrived it seems I booked them for tonight by mistake, AND I booked the wrong venue, silly me" she laughed loudly looking straight at her son who didn't dare breathe "so, it seems we will be out tonight, and because it's so far to drive I've convinced your father to stay at a hotel near the venue. I'm very sorry but you will be home alone tonight" she starred at Blaine more intensely now "I'm afraid you'll have to fend for yourself in the morning for breakfast, I don't expect we'll be back any earlier then 11am, what do you think John back here by 11am?" "mmmm" John Anderson was staring at his blackberry and looked up "yeah, long drive,... 11am" She smiled at Blaine who couldn't believe what he was hearing, his house would be empty for the whole night, he and Kurt had the place to themselves the whole night. Blaine looked at his mother who just smiled at him and nodded. He turned around and started walking up to his room when he heard his mother behind him on the stairs, he turned to her, she was smiling and whispered to him "enjoy your date with Kurt, and remember 11am tomorrow" She winked at him. Blaine threw his arms around her and said "I love you mom, so much" She kissed him on the forehead, smiled, turned around and walked back down the stairs.
Blaine arrived at Kurt's at exactly 7pm. Burt opened the front door and let him in. Kurt came bounding down the stairs and stood in front of Blaine "Hi" Blaine smiled at him "You look really ..er nice" Kurt blushed "So do you" Burt cleared his throat and spoke sternly "Blaine, I'd like a word with you please" Kurt's face fell "Dad pl..." Burt put his hand up to stop him speaking. "We will only be a few minutes Kurt wait here" He gestured for Blaine to follow him into the living room leaving Kurt standing by the front door. Once inside the room Burt closed the door and nodded toward the couch, Blaine sat down and Burt sat in the armchair opposite him.
"Blaine, Kurt tells me that this is a date you are both going on this evening... together" Blaine nodded "Yes Sir" "I appreciate this is a er..recent thing for you, and I understand if you are still ..well..confused but Kurt is my son and I love him, he is very important to me and I don't wish to see him hurt or messed around in any way, so before you take this any further I want you to be sure that this is what you want"
Blaine swallowed a lump in his throat before speaking "Sir, I have never been more sure of anything in my whole entire life, Kurt is the most important person in my life and I would never, ever do anything to hurt him I swear." Tears began to well up in his eyes as he continued "I would lay down my lif..." Burt put up his hand "ok, ok, ok, no need to get so emotional about it, I believe you son" He stood up and shook Blaine's hand "as long as we have an understanding" Blaine nodded and turned to leave the room, just as he reached the door Burt added "by the way Blaine, if you get my son pregnant, I'll kill you" Blaine turned around slowly to see Burt Hummel with a huge grin on his face. Blaine nodded "Yes Sir"
Kurt was sitting on the stairs holding his coat, waiting patiently. "Shall we?" Blaine put out his hand toward Kurt, he jumped up and took it in his, and they walked to the car together.
