Chapter 44

Burt had come downstairs to find Blaine and Carole laughing about something. He entered the kitchen as Carole finished the pancakes. She gave him a kiss on the cheeks and pointed him towards the table before going to call the boys down for breakfast.

Burt sat at the table, staring at Blaine who was busy putting butter and syrup out on the table. Kurt came down the stairs and stopped in the doorway, taking in the sight of his oblivious boyfriend and his staring father. He put on a show face and entered the room.

"Hey babe. Pancakes?" Blaine said, brightening as he saw Kurt and bounding over to give him a quick kiss before leading him to the table. Pulling out his chair, Blaine said. "Carole made lots of pancakes and there is butter and syrup and it looks really good right?"

Blaine spoke fast, sitting down next to Kurt and putting a pancake on both of their plates. Kurt eyed him suspiciously. "Why are you acting so nervous?" He poured a bit of syrup onto his pancakes and cut out a bite.

As Blaine watched Kurt take the bite, he said quickly. "Oh, no reason. Just these aren't the organic pancakes and it's not sugar free syrup but it's a holiday so it's okay."

Kurt stopped mid-chew to give his boyfriend an incredulous look. He looked down at his plate and glared at it suspiciously before swallowing. "Blaine."

"Yes, Kurt, oh love of my life who could never be mad at me, especially on a holiday?" Blaine answered, smiling charmingly.

"Calm down. Calories don't count on holidays." Kurt said, taking another big bite out of his pancake. Blaine watched, shocked as Kurt quickly ate the pancake and took another.

Burt, having been eating his own breakfast while watching the two, let out a laugh. The two boys looked at him, startled as they had forgotten he was there. "What?" Kurt asked, wiping his face in case he had something on it.

Burt just shook his head, still chuckling a bit. "Nothing. I've just never seen Blaine so hyper. Or nervous."

Blaine blushed and spoke. "Have you seen him when he gets angry? It's scary. And I can't hide anything from him. It's like he can smell secrets."

Burt nodded vigorously. "Oh, I know. You should have seen him when he was a kid. The tantrums he would throw. I have some pictures."

Kurt cut in. "Dad!" Both Blaine and Burt started laughing at the affronted look on Kurt's face, who quickly dissolved into laughter of his own.

Carole walked in with a sleepy looking Finn, asking the three laughing men. "What?"

Kurt tried to stop laughing and made an affronted face. "Nothing. Dad was just saying something about pictures that I know he won't be showing. I have some pictures of my own that could be shown."

Burt stopped laughing and eyed his son. "What pictures?"

Kurt gave an evil smile. "Does tea party ring a bell?"

Blaine let out a chuckle as Burt paled. He stopped when Burt swung a glare his way. Burt acquiesced. "You win this round."

Kurt gave a smirk and nod before turning back to her pancakes. Carole just laughed at the men, sitting down to eat. Finn stood in the doorway rubbing his eyes. "I'm really confused right now."

Carole sighed and said. "Just eat your pancakes dear." Finn nodded and sat, proceeding to consume a stack of pancakes.

After a few minutes of silence except for the sounds of eating, Carole spoke. "You know, I have these wonderful pictures of Finn playing princess when he was a kid."

Kurt and Blaine dissolved into laughter, covering their mouths as Carole's comment caught them mid bite. Burt gave his wife a grin, loving the smirk he got in return. Finn continued eating for a moment, not registering what had been said in his sleep-filled haze. His eyes widened as he recalled what she was talking about. "Mom!"

Carole and Burt started laughing as well at the look of panic on his face. Carole managed to get out. "Oh calm down Finn. I won't actually show those pictures to anyone. Not until you bring home a fiancé anyways."

Finn eyed his laughing family, trying to judge the validity of her statement. He ultimately decided to pretend the occurrence hadn't happened and returned to his meal. Shaking his head, he resolved to get eloped so that those pictures of him would never see the light of day.

Eventually, the laughter died down and they started talking about what they would do for the day. Other than Burt and Carole dropping off the baked goods, there wasn't anything on the schedule for anyone.

The family finished eating and Kurt and Finn stayed to do dishes. Blaine headed upstairs to shower and Carole went to watch television. Burt said he would join her in a minute before following Blaine upstairs to have a talk with him.

AN: Oh no. Burt and Blaine talking. Whatever will this mean. Hope you enjoyed. Please review.
