AN: Success. I managed to write this chapter. Just a bit of follow up and then I move on to Kurt's night. But I was wondering, how would everyone feel if I had them switch and Kurt punished Blaine? I don't know if I could put it in actual story but I'd be willing to write a separate one-shot if people were interested. Enjoy.

Chapter 67

They continued their game for a bit, Blaine's mom quickly taking control of a lot of the properties on the board. She was a salesperson for a business she had founded and had an incredible sense of business that manifested itself even in this game. Of course, it didn't hurt that she was taking advantage of the other two's distraction.

After a few hours of play, both men conceded defeat. Blaine's dad threw down the last of his money and raised his hands in surrender. "That's it. I know when I'm beat."

Blaine laughed as his mom grabbed the money and laughed diabolically while his dad mock-bowed in surrender. "You two are so weird."

Blaine's dad smiled. "It's all part of being a parent. You'll understand one day."

His parents watched as Blaine's face glazed over as he considered the idea of having kids in the future. He couldn't help but envision mini-Kurt-and-Blaine mixes running around. He beamed. "I can't wait."

His dad snorted. "You say that now. Just wait. You'll have kids one day and they'll turn into teenagers and you'll wonder why you ever had them. The stuff I've gone through with you and your brother. It's no wonder I have gray hair."

Blaine rolled his eyes. "Oh, whatever."

"Typical teenager." Blaine's dad stood and patted him on the shoulder before leaning down to give his mom a kiss on the cheek. "I'm going to head off for bed. We leave pretty early tomorrow so I'll see you in a couple weeks, ok son?"

Blaine smiled and stood, pulling his dad into a quick hug. "I can't wait."

He pulled back and his mom and him watched as his dad went upstairs. Blaine turned to face his mom, half expecting her to go up now. She smiled softly at him. "Come sit with me for a minute."

Blaine went and sat next to her and she pulled him down so his head was resting on her shoulder. Blaine laughed a bit but left his head there, letting his mom do her thing. She reached her hand up to his head and pet softly at the few curls that were popping out of the gel. "Your hair is so nice when it's free sweetie. Why do you torture it like this?"

Blaine just shrugged. "Dad likes it gelled down."

Blaine's mom stopped petting and tugged at one of the loose curls. "Well, what do you like? You don't have to do things just to please us. As long as it's not dangerous anyways."

Blaine sat up. "I just didn't want any more of his disapproval than I already felt I was getting."

Blaine's mom sighed. "Oh sweetie. You two should have had that confrontation ages ago. If I had known…" She trailed off a bit before speaking again. "It's no matter. Now you know the truth. But I still wanted to have a few words with you."

Blaine looked at her questioningly. "Okay. What's up?"

She grabbed his chin in her hand and looked him in the eye. "Do you feel like we don't care about you because we are gone so much?"

Blaine reeled back and his jaw dropped a bit, shocked at how blatantly she said it. He started to answer when she cut him off. "Be honest. Don't worry about hurting my feelings."

Blaine closed his mouth and thought for a minute before answering. "I used to. But I know it's just for work and I don't really mind all that much. But during the holidays, it kind of sucks that you guys aren't here."

Blaine's mom sighed. "Well, that's honest. You know we love you right? It's just that you are basically an adult now and we have to go out and do these things for work and you don't need us like you used to."

Blaine smiled. "Mom, I know. Don't worry about it. I only made the comments earlier to get at dad. I don't actually think you two are always gone and I'm still going to come home and visit once I'm in college."

Blaine's mom grinned. "Well, you had better. Otherwise I will fly up to New York and show all your new friends embarrassing pictures of you as a kid so you have no choice but to come home."

Blaine laughed at that. "I think you and Kurt's parents would get along amazingly well. They were threatening Kurt and his step-brother with baby pictures earlier this week."

Blaine's mom nodded decisively. "Then I'm in good company and that is what I will do in the future. And I wouldn't mind meeting his family in the future. I have the feeling I will be seeing lots of Kurt for years to come."

Blaine smiled brightly. "Yeah. That'd be really nice."

Blaine's mom reached over and stroked his cheek. "Okay sweetie. I'm going to head off to bed now too. Don't stay up too late and remember, you can always call me if you want to chat. I love hearing from you."

The two met in a hug and exchanged good nights before heading to their respective rooms. Blaine changed into pajamas before flopping into bed. He pulled out his cell phone and sent a text to Kurt. 'Night babe. I love you.'

He received a reply a little later. 'I love you too. Can't wait to see you in the morning.'

Blaine closed his phone and curled under his blankets. Fifteen minutes later, he changed position, unable to fall asleep. The bed felt too big for just him after the time spent sleeping with Kurt.

He grabbed his laptop and got back in bed, turning to Netflix and picking a random Disney movie to fall asleep to. He finally drifted off to sleep.

AN: So that's that. Only a little bit left for Blaine's night and then it's Kurt and I'm really excited. Because I have ideas for that. Have I mentioned how much I love Santana as a plot device? She's such a great character. Anyways, please review.
