"Brit," Blaine said, trying to get her to stop her constant string of nonsense. She paused and looked over at him and smiled
"Blaine!" she giggled and he couldn't help but smile. Blaine had been spending some time with Brittany, and found that, although she wasn't that bright, she was really good company. "You look sad." She said suddenly, Blaine smiled at her
"I'm not sad." She shook her head
"Your eyes are still sad…even if you're smiling." And that was the thing about Brittany, her ignorance let her see through everyone's pretenses. She got up and crawled in next to Blaine on his side of the booth.
"You know how I like Kurt, right?" he asked as he put an arm around her and she hugged him around the stomach, with her head on his chest. Brittany nodded, so Blaine continued "Well, he doesn't like me back. And that's okay because he just broke up with Danny, but I'm afraid he'll never be able to like me the way I like him." Brittany frowned and hugged him closer
"He will. Kurt's really smart…I don't think he'd let you get away." Blaine chuckled and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Thank you, Brittany"
oOo
"So, when are you gonna wake up and realize that Blaine's completely in like with you?" Mercedes asked casually as they lay on her bed. Kurt bolted upright
"What?" he nearly shrieked. Mercedes laughed
"Come on, how can you not tell? The way he looks at you, damn." She shook her head, Kurt gaped at her.
"How do you know that?"
"Because, when he found out Danny Dickhead was cheating on you, he came to me to ask what he should do. He says he cares about you, Kurt." Kurt rolled his eyes
"That doesn't mean anything; I care about him, too. It doesn't mean I like him." Mercedes shook her head "besides," Kurt continued "I…I can't. Not right now."
"I get it." Mercedes said "but I wouldn't wait forever." Kurt sighed.
oOo
"Damnit!" Blaine hissed and shook his hand. He sucked his thumb into his mouth where he had burned it. Kurt came down the stairs in his casual weekend clothes, which consisted of a designer shirt, skinny jeans and dress shoes, he looked over at Blaine. He was covered in flower and had bits of cookie dough all over the counter, and there was a smoking tray of lumpy, black things Kurt could only guess were cookies. He began to laugh and Blaine glared over at him
"I can't cook!" he cried and continued sucking on his scorched thumb. Kurt continued to laugh silently as he walked over and began to clean up the space. Once the counter was shining and the tray of rocks was successfully scraped down the garbage disposal, Kurt took out the ingredients and began mixing.
"What are you doing?" Blaine asked
"Saving you." He smirked
"Well thank God. I would have had to go out and buy some." He admitted
"What do you need cookies for, anyway?" Kurt asked
"My grandma's birthday party later."
"That's sweet." Kurt said. Kurt ended up teaching Blaine the proper way to make chocolate chip cookies, the kind that didn't come out flaming and hard as rocks.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Blaine said, packing the cookies into Tupper wear containers. And before he could stop himself he asked
"Do you wanna come?" and instantly regretted it "I mean, you don't have to…it's just it's going to be filled with older people, not that I don't love my family, I just would want someone to talk to…you know what? Just forget I said anything." He blushed furiously and shoved the containers into the bag. Kurt simply smiled at him
"Well, I've got nothing to do later." He shrugged "I'll go with you."
oOo
"I apologize before hand for any awkwardness that may occur tonight." Blaine said as he ducked into the driver's side of his car.
"I'm good with awkward." Kurt said "Don't worry about it." Blaine turned up the music and let all his nerves melt away as he sang along to the radio with Kurt.
"All right." He said, pulling up to a small, cozy looking house that could only belong to a grandmother.
"This is so cute" Kurt commented, Blaine smiled and stepped out of the car, grabbing the bag of cookies from the back. Kurt followed him through the fence to the back yard, almost instantly a short, chubby woman with long black curly hair ran over to Blaine and nearly tacked him.
"Blaine! Oh my God!" Blaine laughed and hugged her back
"Nice to see you too, mom" he said once she finally let him go. She turned to Kurt, then gave Blaine a curious glance, then turned back to Kurt.
"Hi, I'm Blaine's mom, Donna." She said brightly
"I'm Kurt, nice to meet you." Donna's smile instantly brightened "You're Kurt? Blaine, why didn't you tell me he was so cute!" Blaine blushed scarlet
"I'm gonna go say happy birthday to Grandma, Kurt." He said and took the boy by the arm, towing him away. He walked over to an old lady sitting in a chair, surrounded by others.
"Happy Birthday, Grandma" Blaine said and leaned down to give her a kiss.
"Blaine! I'm so glad you could come" she said, as if it was the best birthday gift she could get.
"I brought cookies" Blaine laughed "but Kurt made them, so their actually edible" his grandmother smiled
"Hello, I'm Kurt" he said, and held out a hand, Blaine's grandmother took it and pulled him down into a hug
"Call me grandma, sweetie" She said and released him, then she looked up at Blaine "he's cute" she smiled, Blaine looked mortified. Blaine went to set out the cookies on the food table
"You are redder than a tomato." Kurt commented
"Want something to drink?" Blaine asked quickly, pouring himself some coke. He handed Kurt a cup
"What's wrong?" Kurt asked "Their older, older people say things like that all the time." He tried to calm Blaine down. Blaine nodded
"I know, I know." He sighed "I just realized that I brought you to a family event…and what that might make them think." He said
"Oh." Kurt breathed, understanding "that we're-"
"Boyfriends." Blaine finished.
(AUTHORS NOTE: BOYFRIENDS. I can imagine how Kurt's heart would positively explode at that word. But y'know…we're not there yet. Oh, and Blaine sucks at cooking, he's awful, he can burn cereal (much like myself) so…yeah, leave a review and tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions!)
