"Oh God Kurt, I'm so sorry, did I wake you?" Blaine quickly held the phone to his ear. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."

"No, Blaine it'e fine. I was awake anyway." Kurt pocketed the small Blaine doll, finding that talking to the real one was much more relaxing, but there was something in Blaine's voice. Something Kurt found unsettling. "I couldn't sleep."

"Anything I can do to help?"

"No it's fine, but what about you?"

"What about me?" There it was again. That slight change in Blaine's voice. He was hiding something from Kurt, but what?

"You sound stressed. Did something happen?"

"Yeah, you could say that. I don't want to talk about it."

"Blaine..." Kurt wondered what could have happened to Blaine. He said that there was a family emergency, but that was it. There was nothing else that... Kurt's eyes grew because of sudden realization. "Oh God! Is Alice okay?"

To say Blaine was surprised by Kurt's outburst would be an understatement, because the man literally screamed into the phone. "No, no, no. That's not it; Alice is fine."

"Then what's the problem? You know I'm only a drive away."

"Kurt, I-"

"Listen, are we in a dating or not?"

Silence. Blaine thought about it, thinking that this was a trick question. His mind has been addled lately and he was confused. "We are, but Kurt-"

"No buts. I want to know what it is that's bothering you; this is part of being in a relationship Blaine. And sure as hell I want to help you through it. You've been distant since Wednesday and I want to know!" Blaine stayed silent during Kurt's small pause, thinking that he really had nothing else to say. Kurt was right, about everything, but how was he going to explain it? Kurt would understand though... probably. "Now listen, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go back to bed, and get some sleep. Then I'm going to your apartment and we're gonna talk. Or would you rathe come here so you could meet my parents?"

"Uh." Blaine's mind immediately went to his mother. "I'll pick you up."

"Okay then..." Kurt yawned "I guess, I'll see you later."

"Yeah." He stared at the phone for a while, waiting for Kurt to hang up, but he didn't, so Blaine pressed the red button instead. "I love you." Sadly, the call was already gone when he said it. He wasn't ready to tell Kurt, not yet. What if Kurt wasn't ready and besides, there's still that one little problem he still had to solve.

The apartment seemed empty when Blaine came back. The lights were off, and the whole place was silent.

Before heading off to bed, as he kind of promised Kurt, he went to the kitchen to get a drink of water.

"Blaine? Is that you?" He heard the voice of his mother, and a door slowly closing from somewhere else, probably from the living room. Blaine peeked his head, and he saw his mother standing next to Alice's door.

"Ma? Why are you still awake?" He said, placing the glass back into the kitchen.

"I want to say the same thing."

Silence... They both looked around, noticing the little things in Blaine's apartment before he broke the silence. He yawned as he walked over, fixing up some random things to fill the awkwardness of the situation. He fixed the couch pillows which were already perfectly placed; he fixed the plastic flowers on the table, which didn't really need any type of arrangement; and he fixed the table, which kind of had the opposite result, causing him to move it back to where it originally was.

"What did he say?" She asked, approaching her son.

"Nothing."

"Blaine..."

"It's fine ma, I... He didn't actually say anything. I was too busy telling him off to give him a chance to talk."

She gave him a compassionate sigh before embracing him in her arms. "Don't worry, he will come around." She let him go, only to give him a stern look. "And when he does, make sure to listen to him. He's a good man, Blaine. Just give him a chance."

"Hi, uh, is Kurt here?" He looked up at the crazily tall man that opened the door.

"Uh, who are you?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, "And why do you want my brother?"

"You're Finn? Wow, Kurt was right."

"Why? What did he say?" Suddenly a girl, much shorter than Finn, managed to push the tall man away.

"Move Finn! Hi!" She extended her hand, "You must be Blaine!" He reached for the hand, and she shook it rather forcefully. "Hello, my name is Rachel, Kurt's best friend, well girl best friend anyway along with a certain Mercedes Jones, but we're not here to talk about her. Come in! Why are you just standing there?"

"Oh, uh, okay." Blaine moved forward, earning a darting gaze from Finn. He pretended not to notice it as he sat down.

"Okay, so Kurt will be down any second now, but tell me..." She leaned over, "did you kiss him yet?"

"Uh..." This woman, Rachel, was unbelievably close to his face, and Blaine couldn't help but get frightened a little bit. He moved back, stuttering as he couldn't find the right words to say.

"Come on, tell me! Kurt refused to say anything last night. And I'm not talking about a simple peck, no. I mean full on making out. Come on! tell me details"

"Rachel, stop hassling Blaine." Kurt appeared from the stairs. He kept his hand on the railings as he went down, swaying his hips. A motion that Blaine definitely noticed.

"Fine." She moved forward, grabbing Finn, who was still glaring at Blaine. "Let's leave these two alone."

"We're not really gonna leave them alone are we?" She gave him a glare before they charged for the kitchen, peeking their heads out of the small opening.

"H-hi Kurt." Blaine managed to pull out, quickly standing up to meet Kurt with a hug. "So uh, are you ready?"

"Yeah, just, let me get my jacket then we'll be on our way." Kurt went over to the hall closet, taking his jacket but only before he met a gaze from Rachel and Finn, who simply waved at him and gave him a smile of embarrassment.

"Ready?" Blaine asked. Kurt nodded as he took Blaine's arm and wrapped it around his own.

"Wait, you have to meet my parents! Come on, sit!" Blaine wasn't really expecting him to stay for more than a couple of seconds, and meeting Kurt's parents was definitely something that he needed to get ready for.

"Kurt, I'm not ready." Blaine half whispered into Kurt's ear, his nerves getting through to his voice.

"It's gonna be fine Blaine, just act you know," Kurt eyed Blaine's appearance, and found him quite satisfactory. "yourself, and everything'll be fine."

Blaine still felt rather nervous, his heart skipped multiple beats and he did all he could to avoid eye contact. He felt Kurt's lips on his cheek and suddenly he instantly felt better. With a quick glance, he took in Kurt's smile and smiled in return, kissing Kurt's cheek as well before turning his gaze to other things, his hands placed firmly in Kurt's own.

Kurt let go of his grip and patted Blaine's hand. "Now, you wait here, and I'll go get them. Dad's still probably sound asleep from all the food he ate last night."

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the husband and wife duo were talking to themselves. "Hey Rach, is it me or does he look kinda familiar?"

Rachel gave Blaine a long look, scrunching her eyes, as if it would help her see what Finn was talking about. "I absolutely have no idea Finn. Why should he look familiar, and besides, where would we have seen him before?"

"I dunno. I think I saw him somewhere, but, I have no idea."

"Don't worry hon, you'll get it soon enough."

"Hey! You must be Blaine!" Burt walked in all happy after Kurt. He took Blaine's hand and shook it wildly before hugging Blaine.

"Good Morning Mr. Hummel."

"Oh don't call me that! I already know I'm old. There's no need to remind me. Burt's fine." Blaine felt another hug coming in as Carole approached him with open arms.

To say he felt weird was an understatement. It wasn't that the experience was not fun or enjoyable, but rather, he did not expect them to be so welcoming and so joyous. He really needed some time away from all the stress. Blaine breathed in calmly before Carole let him go. "You should have heard Kurt talk about you all night! He wouldn't shut up about you!" Kurt blushed a little bit as he tried to hide in the corner. "You really had him worried though, not making it last night and all."

"So, we're gonna head out now, come Blaine." Kurt took his hand and let him out the door.

"It was nice to meet you both." Blaine managed to say before Kurt closed the door.

Carole clapped once before looking at Burt. "So?" Carole started, "What do you think?"

"I have no idea yet," Burt turned around and faced the kitchen, "Let's wait for a while, then we'll see."

"I'm so sorry. I didn't think they'd be all hyper." Kurt followed Blaine as he led him towards his car.

"No, it's fine. It's actually kind of nice." Blaine smiled, opening the passenger side door and letting Kurt in. "My parents aren't as 'hyper' as yours, even when I was a kid, so yeah. I like the joyful atmosphere your parents bring."

Kurt smiled a little bit, but then felt a tug in his heart. Before Blaine could have a chance to close the door, Kurt kissed the other man on the cheek, making Blaine blush a little.

"So, what is it that was troubling you last night?" Kurt questioned as they returned the menus to the waitress, waiting for their food to arrive.

Blaine didn't really expect Kurt to ask immediately. He was hoping that the morning would work its way through, and then while they conversed, the question would pop up randomly. But sadly, that wasn't the case. "I uh..."

Kurt held his hand. Blaine looked down, feeling Kurt's gentle rubs. "You seem to be unsure of yourself lately, anything wrong?"

"It's my parents." Suddenly Kurt understood. Blaine was married, and Blaine had a daughter, of course dating another man, would be a cause of issue to his parents.

"Oh my God, did you tell them? Because I would be totally fine, if you're not ready." Kurt gasped, another sudden realization hit him. "That's why..." He immediately stood up and went to the other side of the booth, embracing Blaine, an action which was rewarded with some looks from the other patrons in the restaurant, but most of them were positive. "I knew I shouldn't have forced you to meet my parents. It's just unfair."

"No, no, no Kurt it's fine." Blaine half forced Kurt's embrace away, just to meet him in the eye. "Your parents were amazing. And you definitely have nothing to worry about."

"You know you don't have to tell me if you don't want to right? I mean, I don't want to pressure you."

"I want to tell you, besides, you're kind of my boyfriend. Isn't it your job to listen to me babble about my issues?"

"Of course," They gave each other a peck on the lips; Kurt tapped the tip of Blaine's nose and smiled. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Kurt moved back to his seat across the table, just in time before their drinks arrived.
