"H-h-how are y-you n-n-n-not d-d-dying with n-nerves r-r-right n-n-now?" Blaine asked incredulously as he drove Kurt to his house after the romantic walk they decided to take through the park, which just resulted in Kurt screaming when a duck got far too close to him. Blaine had just laughed and pressed a kiss to his cheek, telling him that he was adorable. They were now on their way to Blaine's house for dinner, and Kurt was about to meet Blaine's parents for the first time. "I was p-p-petr-r-rified when I m-m-met y-your f-f-f-family!"
Kurt let out a little giggle, smiling at his boyfriend. They'd been dating for almost six weeks and they were both really happy. Although they probably wouldn't admit it out loud, living an hour apart and going to different schools did get to them at times as they didn't get as much time with each other as they'd like to, but they still made sure to see each other at least twice a week and they were constantly texting each other as well. "Yes, but you're a drama queen. And you were fine after the first ten minutes. You love my family now." He laughed.
Blaine would regularly go to Kurt's house on the weekends and they'd have movie dates in the living room, occasionally being interrupted by Finn. "I'm w-w-w-worried t-that m-m-my p-parents are over-reacting about t-this...j-j-just expect t-t-the unexpected. And p-prepare yourself f-f-for a l-lot of questions, t-t-they're s-s-sort of overprotective after the attack and b-b-being b-b-bullied."
"Hey," Kurt said softly, covering Blaine's hand with his own where it was resting beside him. "It's okay, Blaine. I'm sure I'll love your parents."
Blaine let out a deep breath as he pulled into the driveway by his house. "Y-y-you're t-too g-g-good at t-that."
"What?" Kurt asked with a little smile.
"C-c-c-calming me d-down."
Kurt grinned, leaning across to kiss Blaine before they left the car and walked hand-in-hand into Blaine's house.
"I still think you're house is unnecessarily big." Kurt commented, eliciting a chuckle from Blaine.
"Y-y-yeah, b-b-but I have a b-b-big b-b-b-bedroom s-so it's w-worth it." He laughed.
"Of course, that's all that's important." Kurt giggled as he and Blaine entered the kitchen.
"M-mom, D-d-dad," Blaine said, getting his parents' attention. "T-this is K-K-K-Kurt. K-K-Kurt, these are m-m-my p-p-p-parents, G-G-Georgia and Ch-Ch-Charlie."
Kurt shook Blaine's dad's hand and hugged his mom briefly before sitting down next to Blaine at the table. Kurt was suddenly feeling a lot more nervous than he had been before, and Blaine seemed to notice as he automatically reached under the table to hold his hand.
"Kurt, do you like Mac and Cheese?" Blaine's mom asked, clearly serving Mac and Cheese into bowls.
"Yeah," Kurt replied. "It's one of my favourite meals."
"It's m-m-my f-favourite meal t-t-too." Blaine grinned.
Georgia chuckled, giving the three boys at the table their food before sitting down herself. "So Kurt, Blaine mentioned that you go to the same school as Sam?"
"Yeah," Kurt confirmed, taking a sip of the glass of water in front of him. "He's actually the reason we even met in the first place."
"Oh, we know. Blaine told us all about the blind date," Blaine's dad teased. "Including the part about shaking your hand."
Blaine groaned and hid his face. "S-s-s-stop it." He whined.
Kurt laughed a little. "I thought it was kind of sweet how nervous he was." He admitted, looking over to Blaine to try and calm his embarrassment.
Georgia and Charlie shared a look, smiling softly. They continued to talk and laugh over the course of dinner, until Charlie decided that it was time to embarrass Blaine completely.
"Baby photos!" He exclaimed happily, leading them all into the living room.
"N-n-no! He d-d-d-doesn't need to s-s-s-see those!" Blaine exclaimed, eliciting laughter from Kurt, Georgia and Charlie.
"Yes I do!" Kurt argued playfully, nudging Blaine in the side as they sat down.
"I haven't s-s-s-seen your b-b-b-baby photos." Blaine pouted.
"Blame my Dad for that," Kurt laughed. "Stop whining, I bet you were adorable."
Blaine huffed and crossed his arms over his chest, leaning his head against Kurt's shoulder as his dad passed him the first photo album. Kurt grinned, flipping through the photos happily.
"That one's my favourite." Georgia said teasingly, pointing to a photo of Blaine.
"Oh my god," Kurt giggled. The photo showed Blaine at no more than two years old, standing in only his nappy with a wide grin on his face. He had wild curls and his eyes were the same sparkling hazel that they were then. He was holding a stuffed toy in one hand and his nose was scrunched up cutely as he smiled. "You're so cute, Blaine."
"Y-you g-g-guys s-s-s-s-suck." Blaine whined.
"Hey, if you really want to be embarrassed we can always get the home movies out -"
"No!" Blaine shouted before his dad could finish his sentence, his face going red as he hid his face behind Kurt.
Kurt laughed, turning his head to look down at his boyfriend. "Stop being embarrassed. I like your baby photos."
"That's even w-w-worse than you d-d-d-disliking them." Blaine giggled.
All too soon, it was time for Kurt to go home. He thanked Blaine's parents for dinner, who told him that they enjoyed having him over and he was welcome to have dinner at their house whenever he liked.
They left Kurt and Blaine alone for a few moments to say their goodbyes, and Kurt smiled softly at Blaine, leaning their foreheads together; their faces so close that the tips of their noses were touching.
Blaine smiled happily, closing his eyes and nudging Kurt's nose gently with his own. He eventually leaned forward properly, pressing their lips together. They stayed like that for a while - standing by the door kissing as they did when Blaine met Kurt's family, until Kurt pulled away and smiled at his boyfriend.
"I had fun tonight," Kurt said. "I'm sorry if you genuinely got embarrassed though."
"I d-d-didn't...well, I d-d-did b-but if I really had a p-p-problem with it then I would've s-s-stopped m-my d-dad from showing you photos."
"I really liked your parents. They were really sweet."
"They're p-p-probably the n-n-nicest people ever. Along w-with y-y-you and S-S-Sam."
Kurt giggled, pressing another quick kiss to Blaine's lips before pulling back. "I should really get going or my dad might murder me when I get home."
"I agree," Blaine chuckled. "C-c-call m-me when you g-g-get h-home?"
"Promise." Kurt grinned, pressing one more kiss to Blaine's lips before making his way to his car, waving at Blaine where he was leaning against the door, smiling dopily.
Once Kurt's car was out of sight Blaine shut the door and made his way back to the living room, where his father said one thing that elicited a grin from Blaine;
"He's a keeper."
