Chapter 4: A House is not a Home
"Mom-C, Dad, this is Blaine", Kurt said when they were in the hall of his house. With this sentence, the whole nickname problem had a solution. Carole wasn't good enough, but mom was too much. So a combination was perfect.
Burt shook the boy's hand. "Good to finally see you, Blaine. It's nice to be able to imagine your face when my son talks about you."
Blaine smiled. "Nice to meet you too, sir. And thank you for letting me spend the weekend here."
"Not a problem, mate. And you can say Burt.", Kurt's father answered. He liked this kid. Polite, kind and he looked reliable. The kind of friend Kurt needed.
Carole moved forward. "Hi, I'm Carole. Come in to the living room, Blaine!"
Blaine gave his boyfriend a quick wink and walked in, leaving his backpack in the hallway.
"What do you want to drink, bab- Blaine?", Kurt asked. It's not that his parents couldn't know about them, he just wanted to tell them. Not blurt it out.
He chuckled in response. "Uhm... Coke's allright, if you have that?"
"Sure." Kurt took the drinks and walked back to the living room. He went to sit next to Blaine, in front of Burt and Carole.
"So you are like the quarter back of the Warblers?", his dad asked. Kurt sighed. "It's called the lead singer, dad. How many times have I told you that?"
Blaine smiled. "Yeah, I'm like the quarter back. But I don't really care about that. It's just that I get the most solo's, which doesn't mean I'm the best singer of the team. I just fit the image of the team the best."
Carole chuckled. "So the rest of the team is also very handsome?"
Blaine smiled, a bit embarassed. "Thank you. And yeah, the rest is 'as' handsome. The example sits next to me, actually."
Kurt blushed and giggled. His stepmom noticed it and smiled. "Are you dating each other?"
Blaine looked at Kurt and he looked back. Kurt took a deep breath. "We're actually a couple, to be exact."
Burt raised his eyebrows. "Is there a difference?"
Carole chuckled. "That means they are exclusive. No dating other people, just like us. Except for the marriage. But that's not important right now! Congratulations, boys! How long are you together?"
Kurt had a big smile on his face. "A month." And Blaine added "Well almost. We're celebrating our one month anniversery Monday."
Kurt let out a laugh. "Yeah, that's a big step," he turned to his dad, "Dad, why haven't you said anything?"
Burt sighed. "It's just special. My son has his first boyfriend, that's a big thing. But, I'm really glad for you. Seems you will have a date for your home-coming prom. Or don't they have that at Dalton's?"
"We were planning on going to McKinley's prom, actually.", Kurt said.
"Were we?", his boyfriend asked surprised.
Kurt got up, pulled two tickets out of his pocket and took Blaine's hand. "Would you, Blaine Anderson, please go to the McKinley prom with me? Because I drew a half heart on each card, so it would be kind of a waiste..."
"Yes, I will." They shared a kiss. But Kurt pulled his face away before it got too passionate. He turned to his dad. "I'm sorry for that."
Burt chuckled. "I see Finn and Rachel make out every day for several hours. So I guess you'll just have to fight for space on the couch. And we'll have to deal with more make out sessions. Basically my point is: don't excuse yourself for kissing your boyfriend."
Carole smiled. "Yeah, that's true. But just keep it at kissing here, please. For... other things you have your room."
"Ooookay," Kurt raised his voice, "We are going to unpack our stuff now." He took Blaine's hand and pulled him up.
Just before they left the living room, Carole yelled "We eat at 7!"
Burt kissed her. "He's got the romance from his dad, you know that?"
At Kurt's room, Carole had installed an extra bed next to his one. The bed was even high as Kurt's so they pushed them together so they had a big bed for the night. At Dalton's they weren't allowed to sleep at each other rooms, but about twice a week one of them sneaked out to the other room. They didn't do anything more than kissing, but it was just nice to wake up together.
"Your dad seems like a nice guy!", Blaine said, "He was really chill about the kissing thing. I like him."
Kurt smiled. "Yeah he's really chill. He had some gay trouble at the beginning, but he always supported me. And I think he's just proud now. You know, my dad is a bit obsessed with milestones, so a first boyfriend is important for him. I mean, my first boyfriend, not his first boyfriend."
"Yeah, I got that." They both laughed. Blaine wouldn't admit it, but he had been nervous about the meeting with Burt and Carole. He had had boyfriends, but with Kurt... it felt different. He felt he could be ho he was with Kurt around. He had lost the whole super-confident face and had gone back to himself. At the Warblers, he had built up this whole mature and cool person to protect him from any other bullying. And Kurt had broken through his wall of protection. Blaine was again a teenager.
"What are you thinking?", Kurt asked.
"That you have a bigger influence on my life then you know. And I didn't realized it until now. I feel like I'm back myself. Not over-confident Blaine, not bullied Blaine, but just... Blaine. Which is kind of awesome. Thank you for making me me again." He gave Kurt a kiss. "Do you want to see what I wear when I'm not at school? What Blaine Blaine wears? Not Warbler Blaine?"
His boyfriend chuckled. "If you could wait after you've taken of your shirt and before you put on the other one."
His hand traced on Blaine's shirt. He unbuttoned it and looked mesmerized to his beautiful chest. Kurt didn't have any chest hair, but Blaine made up for that.
They started kissing again. Kurt pushed Blaine on the bed and kissed him there. The nest ten minutes just existed out warm bodies against each other, soft lips, hot tongues, all dancing with the other one.
The door opened quickly. Finn tried to escape with a "I'm sorry" and walked out. But his stepbrother had heard him and sat up on the bed. While he combed with his fingers through his hair and closed his shirt, he opened the door again.
"Hi, Finn!"
"Oh, hi Kurt. You're back! I didn't see you..."
Kurt chuckled. "You just walked into my room. You'll just have to learn to knock. Come, I want you to meet someone."
Finn followed his little brother (in length at least) to his room. "Blaine, this is Finn, my stepbro."
They shook hands. And Finn raised his finger and pointed at the guy in front of him. "So... you are Kurt's... boyfriend?" Blaine nodded. "Yeah. And you are the lead singer of the New Directions, isn't it?"
"Kind of the lead singer. Mr. Schue tries to let everybody sing nowadays. And I was thinking that I knew you. You're at Kurt's school, right? Also the lead singer of the Glee Club there?"
Blaine smiled and nodded. "Kurt told me that you're also the quarterback? Want to play a game?"
Finn looked surprised. "Oh yeah, why not? Are you okay with that, Kurt?"
"Sure.", he smiled, "I have something to talk about with dad and mom-C. That's my nickname for Carole by the way. I thought Carole was not special enough."
"Oh, okay. So, dude, are we gonna play?"
Blaine nodded, quickly pecked his boyfriend's lips and went outside. Kurt unpacked his bags and went downstairs, where his extra mom was cooking.
"What's for dinner?", he asked.
"Your dad made soup, I'm now baking the chicken and we are eating that with rice and a tomato sauce. And for dessert there's chocolate cake."
"Awesome. By the way... there was something I wanted to talk about with you and dad.", Kurt said.
"Oh okay. Is it about Blaine?"
He was doubting when he answered. "Not really. But it's because of him." And then he blurted it out. "I want to go back to McKinley. I miss my friends."
She wasn't expecting that. "Oh. I understand that you miss your friends, but what about that boy who was harrassing you? He threatened your life, Kurt. And you didn't feel safe anymore at that school. I don't think I like this idea. We are a family now, honey, I don't want to lose you to some crazy kid."
He sighed. "I understand. But things are different now. I have Blaine. I've been to another school. And about Karofsky... he said he'd kill me if I told anyone about what he did. And he didn't just bully me. He kissed me."
Carole's spoon fell out of her hand on the ground. "He kissed you? As in... kissing you?"
Kurt nodded. "Yeah, he seems to have some struggles with his sexuality. And I think I might be able to help him. With Blaine. Which is why I want Blaine to transfer with me."
"Have you guys talked about this? Because... I know you are in love with him. But you're young and so is he. The chances of you breaking up with each other in the next few months are... it's just a possibility."
"I know that. But Blaine is so... You know, I've been in love before this. Just crushes, I've never had anything close to a boyfriend before Blaine. And still... this feels real. He doesn't pressure me to do anything, he makes me feel better about myself and I apparently have the same influence on him. So I think we have a chance, mom-C. I really do."
"What does Blaine think about this?", she asked.
"He's coming to Glee on Monday. We have the day off, but McKinley doesn't. I haven't really asked him, though. But he has always said that he regrets running aay from his bullies. And I hope he wants to break free from the Dalton's. He is not himself there, mom-C. I just... I want him to feel okay with himself. When we're together we're just Kurt and Blaine. Not Kurt, the gay kid and Blaine, Mr. Confident, but just us. And our best shot at that is McKinley."
Carole had a motherly smile on her face. "You really like him, don't you?"
His face lit up and he blushed. "I really do."
