Chapter 20 – Traditions old and new.
(BPOV)
The ride back from the airport was a fairly quiet one on my part. Rachel was talking enthusiastically about her classes and Kurt chimed in where necessary to make sure Burt heard all about his classes too. I laughed where necessary but I kept to myself just listening to Kurt interact with his dad in the front seat. That was until we were pulled into the Hudmel driveway and were getting out of the car when Burt stopped me once I closed my door. I felt a strong arm on my shoulder.
"Blaine, you've been really quiet...you ok son?" He called me son?
"Uh yeah I'm fine. I was just listening is all. You guys needed to catch up." I looked over to see Kurt and Rachel laughing as they pulled the suitcases out of the back. "I mean I just don't want to be in way while I'm here ya know?" I turned back to face Burt who looked confused but there was a warm smile behind his concerned gaze.
"Blaine, you and I need to have a chat later ok? You're not in the way believe me...you wouldn't be here if I thought that way. Just enjoy the holiday and keep Kurt smiling like that. I haven't seen him smile like that in a long while. But you and I still need to talk kid...later tonight ok?" I only nodded looking him in the eye for the first time since this mini conversation started.
Kurt joined me at my side then pulling both of our suitcases behind him. I grabbed my bag from him and took his as well gesturing him to walk in with his dad. He flashed me a brilliant smile, "Such a gentleman."
Burt laughed a little and slapped my shoulder whispering, "Nice one kid."
The Hummel men walked up to the house while Rachel and I brought up the rear entering the very welcoming and warm house last.
"Kurt!" Carol basically tackled him in a hug, kissing his temple repeatedly.
"Mom, Carol stop...ha ha I missed you too!" She pulled away to grab both sides of his face and kiss his cheek again making Kurt blush.
"Sorry honey...you look great Kurt. I know its only been a few months but I swear you look more mature." Kurt smiled lightly and grabbed her hand, "You look good too mom."
Carol moved over to Rachel fawning over her new outfit and saying how wonderful she looked. As Rachel was wrapped in a hug with Carol a familiar voice came from upstairs.
"What Kurt don't I get a brotherly hello?"
"FINN!"
"Surprise!"
I turned around just in time to see Kurt run up the small set of stairs two at a time to rush his brother. The smile on Finn's face was a mix between love and friendship and I'm sure if I could see Kurt's face it was the same. The hug was strong and it made my heart swell that Kurt and Finn had grown so close even if I had to mentally block out why their relationship was stretched to these limits in the first place.
They rocked a little in their embrace before Kurt released him and smacked him hard on the shoulder.
"Finn Hudson why didn't you tell me you were already here?"
"Mom, Rach, Burt and I all thought it would be cool to surprise you?" Kurt turned around to look at Rachel.
"You knew about this too?
"Um yeah Kurt that's why I left to go call Finn last night. He texted me that he was already here and was going to surprise you when we got in. It was totally worth your expression."
"I know I should be mad at you...all of you, well except Blaine because honey you really didn't know did you?"
"Nope Scout's honour."
"You were ever a Scout."
"Point taken but I still didn't know."
"Well...I forgive you because well it was a really nice surprise. Mom...dad I expect this from you but not from you Rachel..."
Finn still had his arm on Kurt's shoulder and was gently squeezing it trying to calm his brother down. It seemed to work as Kurt gave a defeated sigh and side hugged his brother quickly again.
"It's good to see ya Kurt." Kurt laughed at Finn's mild awkwardness. "I missed you too Finn...now go say hi to your girlfriend before she explodes or I kill her."
Finn jumped down the stairs in two steps and picked up Rach in a bone crushing embrace swinging her around. Kurt walked back down the stairs and wrapped himself around me; kissing my temple.
Burt and Carol looked at the four of us with such love in their eyes and even though I knew Burt was giving me the once over a few times I could tell his concern was genuine and there was a distinct possibility that if Kurt was happy I might get out of there alive.

We got settled and apparently after much deliberation and arguing between Burt and Carol earlier this week it was decided that I got to share the room with Kurt and Rachel got to stay with Finn. Both Kurt and Finn were given a stern private talking to regarding this decision from Burt which had left them both shaken. I smiled wondering what was said, I'm sure it was something along the lines of "be safe and don't do anything stupid under my roof" and even though I felt bad that Kurt had to go through that I knew that Burt's talk with me was coming so I had better not burn that bridge by laughing at Kurt.
We had gotten settled and decided that we'd spend the remainder of the afternoon in the family room swapping stories about our lives over the last month or so.
Kurt lived with Rachel, up until yesterday anyway, so I knew all about her school escapades and her 'personal growth' as a performer, so I just pretended to listen while Burt and Carol gushed.
Finn regaled everyone on how even though he was a second string quarterback he got to play his first game this past week because the first string had a cold. He went on and on about how amazing it was to play in front of so many people and he was thanking his time in Glee club for getting him used to performing for large crowds. They had won the game and everyone had fawned over his performance including all cheerleaders. Finn made it extra clear that he was spoken for which earned him a squeeze and a smile from the short brunette sitting next to him on the love seat.
Once they were done I took the floor with a reassuring squeeze from Kurt whom was half sitting on my lap at this point.
"Well I don't know how much Kurt has told you regarding his schooling but I know that am very proud of him considering his course load. He's flying through the work but working hard and I know with his grades and sass he's gonna make one hell of a designer one day." I pecked him on the underside of his jaw causing Kurt to blush the colour that I loved to see on his cheeks.
"Well anyway he's been doing great and it was because of him that when I took him to the theatre for our date night a few weeks back that I got my first audition by happenstance for a Broadway musical."
Carol piped in, "That's great honey...Kurt why didn't you tell us?"
"I wanted Blaine to tell you. It was his big news after all." I lifted my hand and stroked his cheek with my knuckles...it seemed to be a habit now and Kurt closed his eyes and hummed a little at the sensation.
"Thanks baby. Well to make this story short I got a part in a play that starts around Christmas time. You guys should come up for the holidays and I can get you tickets if you want to see it?" I sheepishly lowered my head because it was a little presumptuous to think they would want to come.
"Dude that's awesome. We're proud of you man...uh can you get us all tickets cuz I kinda wanna see my little brother's boyfriend kick some ass on Broadway too."
"Of course Finn...I would love all of you to come and see it. I would be honoured."
Burt never said anything through my entire speech even as I dragged on about Kurt's and my friends, Jessica and Terri and Jay...he just listened and laughed where appropriate. It was making me a little uncomfortable but I just let it pass and continued talking. Kurt was rubbing our joined hands affectionately but I tried my best to keep the PDA to a minimal in front of his family.
We finished telling stories until Finn started complaining he was hungry. Kurt rolled his eyes at his brother and Carol stood up saying, "Pizza anyone?"
Kurt was bouncing because he said this was a pre-Thanksgiving tradition at the Hudmels now...pizza the night before because Carol figured her and Kurt would be cooking enough tomorrow so they didn't want to be in the kitchen tonight.
"Ok boys...Rachel. If you guys wanna go unpack and get a shower in now would be that time. Pizza should be here in about 45 minutes."
We all scrambled off the respective couches and Rach and Finn left to head downstairs to his new room while Kurt was heading upstairs but I lagged behind.
"Go ahead Kurt, you take the shower first. I'll be up in a minute." He hesitated for a second but I gave him a reassuring glance and a wink and he finally gave in and left me in the living room. I walked into the kitchen to find Burt and Carol talking quietly so I took this as my opportunity.
"Hi..um if you wanted to yell at me or lecture me now I guess would be that time since Kurt's upstairs. But before you do I wanted to say thank you for letting me spend Thanksgiving with you guys."
Burt squared his shoulder and looked on menacingly...but there was a crack in his facade and then I heard Carol giggling behind me...that made Burt lose it. He started to laugh immediately.
"Oh god Blaine you should see your face! I'm not gonna kill you ok?" Ya right he says this now. Wait till he finds out that I've had sex with his son and that he was living with me now...oh yeah Burt's gonna love that.
"I'm sorry Mr. H...Burt but I needed to tell you something that may make you not like me as much."
Burt's eyes narrowed, laughing seizing all at once, and it looked like he was turning into a chameleon... he was changing colours so fast.
"No wait wait wait...Burt...I-I just need to tell you some things that I don't want to be kept secret because I know how important Kurt is to you and I want to be honest with you."
He seemed to relax if only a little bit at this so I continued taking a large breath before I started.
"I love your son. I am completely head over heals in love with him and I will never ever stop loving him until the day I die...even if he pushes me away and asks to never see me again...I will never stop. I chickened out, I lied to myself and Kurt for a long time about my feelings towards him, and apparently he lied to me about reciprocating these feelings but with that in mind...we've reconciled those feelings and I couldn't be happier but..."
"But what kid..spill it."
" I asked him to move in with me...and he said yes." Burt took a sharp intake of breath but it was prevented from escalating by Carol's arm on his shoulder keeping him from bursting.
"Burt, Carol I know that I should have mentioned it to you earlier because your permission and opinion matter greatly to me because I know how much you love Kurt. But to be totally honest...I want to marry Kurt one day...but until we are are old enough and mature enough to handle that I just couldn't spend my days without him. I know that it was selfish to ask him without running it by you first but even if you said no I would've still asked him because I need him and he needs me. I'm not a whole person when Kurt's not around...and as cheesy as it sounds he really does complete me. I am a better man for knowing him and I can't think of a moment when I would ever not want him with me. So basically Kurt moved in with me yesterday and I just couldn't keep our happiness or nervousness in check about it until I talked to you...so yeah that's all I wanted to say."
Burt had turned some very interesting colours during my confession and Carol had tears in her eyes if I wasn't mistaken. I was almost shaking out of my chair in the kitchen and I was anxiously awaiting Burt's response.
"Blaine...I don't know how to take this..but.." Oh god he's gonna kill me. At least I die knowing that Kurt loves me.
"...but I appreciate your honesty." What?
"Look Blaine I have been trying to figure out for a long time why you two never got together. Then my son got sick and couldn't sleep and I blamed you...but it was also Kurt's fault too. If either one of you had actually said, "I love you" to each other sooner we wouldn't have been the mess we were in. So I am glad you sorted out your crap because it was painful waiting for you two to clue in to the relationship that us old guys knew about long before you did!"
I laughed and shook my head because I guess Kurt and I really were that bad...and apparently obvious.
"Now onto the more pressing matters...I am coming to trust you again Blaine because I can see how ecstatic you make Kurt but that doesn't mean that I like being lied to about where my own son is living. But..." There's that but again...
"But...I feel better knowing that he's living with someone that loves him as much as you do. I was worried he would dorm with some guy that might hurt him for who he is or take advantage of him in anyway so I don't mind this arrangement as much a father should because I know that you will take care of him Blaine."
"Sir?" He held up his hands, "Blaine lets cut to chase before I get any older here, you love my son and will do your damnedest to never hurt him?"
"Yes."
"Will you respect his wishes and not force him into anything he's not ready for?" I had a mental image of what Kurt and I had done in the last 24 hours but I wiped my mind to keep my expression blank but warm. "Yes."
"And will you try and relax around me because if I wanted to shoot you I already would have?"
"I'll try sir..uh Burt."
"Good you have my blessing then...as long as he's happy, I'm happy."
"Thank you Burt."
"KURT! C'mon in I know you're dying out there trying to keep quiet!" Not seconds later Kurt came running around the corner and knocked his dad almost completely over in the chair he was sitting on when he hugged him. "Thank you thank you!"
"Easy on the old man there kiddo."
"You're not old dad. You're seasoned." He was hugging his dad tightly and from the wavering in his usually clear voice I could tell that he had been crying a little.
"Well that just makes me feel like Sunday pot roast kid. Hey why didn't you tell me about moving in with Blaine?" As stern as he tried to sound I could see that he was a little sad that Kurt would keep something that made his son so happy from him.
"I dunno dad. I just...I didn't want you to freak and I wanted to tell you in person anyway so...I waited. But I am so happy right now dad...are you happy for me?"
"Of course Kurt. You already knew that though because I knew you heard our entire conversation so get off your old man and go hug your boyfriend...he looks like he's ran a marathon over there and could use a hug."
I was a little distressed after the whole conversation with Burt but those feeling washed away as I felt Kurt sit in my lap and place a very sweet kiss to my lips right in front of his parents. I kissed back maybe a little too enthusiastically because Burt cleared his throat.
"Ahem ok boys enough with that. It's too cute and my teeth hurt looking at you. Ha ha...go have your showers please...separately mind you... you're still in my house Kurt and just because I'm letting Blaine sleep in your room doesn't mean that I'm cool with water conservation shower time. Washed, pyjamas, and back in the living room in twenty boys...go!"
Kurt basically jumped off my lap and pulled me out of the kitchen at light speed, I yelled back saying thank you to his dad and step mom as I climbed the stairs heading into Kurt's room.
What I didn't know or hear was Burt's and Carol's short conversation after we left.
"You ok honey?" Carol was rubbing soothing circles on Burt's shoulders as he leaned back into his wife silently thanking her.
"Yeah I'm fine Carol. I think my little boy is actually older than me now."
"Aww honey Kurt will never stop being your little boy."
"Yeah I know. We've got good kids Carol."
"Yeah they are. A little slow getting there acts together sometimes but they've seemed to get it right finally."
The smiled at each other in quick agreement, sealing it with a kiss.

The night flew by as we all settled into the family room again, all three couple snuggled close as we ate in relative silence watching "The Sound Of Music". It was Kurt's and Burt's tradition to watch it and it kind of carried over to the extended family. Rachel and Kurt sang along with Maria's part and Rachel looked offended when Kurt was able to hit Julie Andrew's high notes better than her.
Burt and Carol were laughing long with Finn and I at our other halves competitive nature even thought we were just supposed to be watching the movie.
I was also finally privy to the amount of food that Finn ate. I got to see what Kurt had been complaining about for a long time now that his brother would eat them out of house and home if his stomach would allow it.
The remainder of the food was laid strewn across the coffee table an hour or so later and I looked over to find that Burt and Carol as well as Finn and Rach had fallen asleep. Carol had her head on Burt's chest and his head was lightly placed on top of her head. Finn was stretched out on the love seat, feet dangling off of course with Rachel snuggled along side him completely under sleep's spell.
I was sitting straight up with my beautiful boyfriend draped across my lap and even though he loved this movie I saw that he had dozed off as well.
Looking a the screen Maria and Georg were walking in the gazebo confessing their true feelings for each other. I looked down at Kurt and thought clearly about the day that I almost told him how I felt about him, and what I really should have said.
" ...Oh there you are. I've been looking for you forever. You-you move me Kurt. And this duet would just be an excuse to spend more time with you."
I should have told him then. I wasted so much time wishing I was with him and now that I had him I was never letting him go. I don't know what prompted me to do it but I started to sing along with the movie...all of my emotions flowing throw my voice as I sang very softly to Kurt.
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked miserable past
I must have had a moment of truth
For here you are
Lying there
Loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
I leaned down and kissed the temple that I was instinctively soothing again with my hand. I whispered that I loved him not knowing that I had an audience. As I snuggled down and closed my eyes as well, joining in the family nap as it were a large smile played across the face of one Finn Hudson whom had been awake this entire time.

(KPOV)
I don't remember getting into bed last night. The last thing I remembered was laying on he couch watching Maria dance 'the Landler' with my name sake snuggled up to Blaine. We were now in bed, wrapped up together as usual but shirtless. Wow I must have been tired for Blaine to be able to get me to bed, take off my shirt and curl into me and I don't remember a thing.
I closed my eyes again and I may have drifted back off to sleep until I heard a knocking a the door.
"Kurt! Blaine!...Get up sleepy heads...breakfast time!" My dad was bellowing from the other side of the door. When I didn't respond he opened the door and looked a little embarrassed for a second seeing Blaine and me wrapped up together under the covers.
"Mmmph morning dad."
"Uh morning son." Oh god this was going to be awkward, "Get your butts outta bed. Or Finn will eat all your breakfast. Ha! C'mon lazies its Thanksgiving!"
He walked out of the room leaving the door open slightly as he did. Well that went better than I thought.
I felt Blaine move beside me and mumble, "Please tell me your dad didn't just walk in on us spooning half naked?" He was talking into my hair and his warm breath gave me the chills.
"Uh yeah he did honey. Ironically enough he didn't seem to mind." I turned around in Blaine's arms so that I could get closer and place a light warm kiss to his lips which he softly sighed into.
"Morning my love." Ok could he be more sexy?
"Morning baby."
"How'd you sleep?"
"Great actually. I had a dream I think where I could hear your voice but I couldn't quiet place what it was."
Blaine had a knowing smirk on his face but simply replied, "Hmmm glad my voice could help you sleep."
We kissed again before we knew that we had to get up before Finn really did eat all of our breakfasts.
(BPOV)
Breakfast was very chatty. Finn was going on and on about the football matches that were on today and I couldn't help but be excited to share in this tradition with Burt and Finn. Kurt and Carol were talking over all the prep they would have to do today and that they needed to start right after they finished cleaning up breakfast. I offered to do the breakfast clean up and I volunteered Finn and the look he gave me was angry until he saw the smile of approval he got from Rachel on that. He touched his finger to his nose and whispered 'brownie points' to me before we both got up in unison and cleared the table without being asked.
"Ok who are you and what have you done with my son Finn?" Carol looked flabbergasted and I just nudged him in the direction of the sink saying 'go with it' under my breath.
Finn just smiled and kissed his mom on the head. We washed the dishes in silence as Kurt, Carol, Burt, and Rach went out into the yard with shovels in hand.
"Finn what are they doing?"
"Oh they're gonna clear the yard for the traditional Hudmel Turkey Bowl?"
"Ok you're gonna have to say that again because I swear I heard Hudmel turkey and bowl in the same sentence." He handed me another dish to dry as he laughed at me.
"Every year we have a two on two tourney in the backyard. Nothing fancy but Burt and Kurt kicked mom's and my asses last year. I swear they cheat but this year I got you man. We are so going to kick their butts."
My heart swelled a little at the thought of being included but I wasn't too enthused about going up against Kurt...he was scary when he lost.
"Wow that's sounds awesome Finn...when does this game start?"
"We kinda make it up as we go. Play a quarter in-between games on the TV and whatnot. Kurt and mom are also busy back in forth in the kitchen so we can tag people in and out as we like but we usually don't start until the afternoon once all the food's at least started, that and the first game of the day is almost over."
"That sounds like a lot of fun...I'm glad that I got to come over this weekend...it should be a blast."
"Yeah I'm glad your here too dude."
We fell into an uncomfortable silence as we finished up the dishes. I didn't want to make Finn uneasy around me and I wasn't still clear on how he felt about Kurt and I. Once the last dish was away I looked over to see Finn drying his hands and looking at me with a small smile on his face.
"Uh...what's up Finn..is there something on my face?"
"Ha no bro...I was just thinking..which for me is a stretch if you ask Kurt." I laughed a little at the self deprecation and I knew he was just trying to make me comfortable. He stopped for a second and then dropped the towel on the counter and looked out into the yard to see Burt and Carol shovelling a small area clean while Kurt chased Rachel around for throwing a snowball in his hair. We both laughed at the sight, my eyes lingered on Kurt's now rosy cheeks as he caught up to Rachel and put snow in her hair laughing.
"I heard you last night." I snapped away from the window to look at the very tall figure looming near me. I gulped.
"Wha?"
"I heard you singing to Kurt last night...I was awake dude."
"Oh I uh...I thought everyone was asleep...sorry if I woke you man but.."
"Stop back peddling man. I was awake anyway, and ya know it was really sweet n stuff that you did that... I just...mhhh...how do I put this simply?"
He paused for a second and seemed to mull it over before speaking up again.
"Until last night I hadn't really believed you or Kurt for that matter that this, you and Kurt I mean, was the real deal. But last night I saw how you really felt about him and I'm glad that I was awake to see it. You're always your most sincere when you think no one is watching."
I stood there for a second replaying the words that Finn had just said over and over in my head but I couldn't really believe what he was saying. He could be really insightful when he tried. He was happy for me and Kurt? Did that mean I was forgiven for hurting him...even if it was unintentionally?
I must have been silent for too long before a slight punch on the should knocked me out of my own train of thought.
"Earth calling Blaine...dude did you hear me?"
"Um yeah I heard you Finn..sorry...but what does this..I mean what are you saying exactly?"
Finn cleared his throat, "And people say I'm not the brightest. I'm saying man that I am happy for you and Kurt and Rachel told me this morning that you are going to be moving in with each other...that's dope that you guys are ready for that. I'm saying that as long as he's happy...you've got a brother in me dude." He extended his hand and if I didn't think I would get teased mercilessly I would have cried. I took his hand and he pulled me into a bro hug that lasted longer than I thought it would. This was the final hurdle I had to jump this weekend...Finn. I never expected him to be the one to initiate the comradeship but I was finally letting myself relax in the big guys arms if only for a second.
"Thanks Finn."
"Your welcome Blaine. Be good to him...or my original threat still holds."
We both laughed as we broke apart, our hands still entwined in a firm hand shake. I didn't know it at the time but the Hudmel men were very good at spying because Kurt and Rachel were watching through the kitchen window and I swore that I could hear a squeal...though I'm not sure whom it was from.
XXXX
That afternoon was full of surprises. First there was the kitchen confessional from Finn which I was still getting over, then there was the sight of Kurt coming back downstairs having changed into some black track pants and a grey hoodie that was probably Finn's because it said OSU on the front and was about 2 sizes to big for him. His hair was no where near the kept coif that I was used to and he looked oddly hot like this. Of course it was still Kurt and he was wearing a scarf in the house, one that was blue and a silvery white colour. Kurt noticed my staring and just shot me a look and a wink whispering, "Tell no one that you saw me like this and maybe I'll wear it for you later."
I have never had to restrain and instant hard on quite so rapidly then I did at that moment and if Kurt's chuckling was any indication he knew what he was doing to me.
I was instructed to wear clothes that I wouldn't mind getting dirty so that when the time came for our game we could just run outside and start.
Kurt and Carol, with Rachel in tow were buzzing around the kitchen in practised easy with one another getting all the food prepped for tonight's dinner. I offered to help but I was shooed out of there quite quickly with a peck on the cheek and a swat on the butt from Kurt for good measure. Finn Burt and I retreated to the living room to watch the games on the somewhat obscenely sized family TV. It only became apparent why he got such a large TV when I saw the look on Burt's face as he tuned into the first game of the day between the Lions and the Seahawks. Oh that explained Kurt's choice in scarf. I silently thanked that I was cheering for the Lion's too.
Football always looked better on a giant screen. I settled into male bonding time beside Finn as we yelled and cheered in unison as the game got going. We were all screaming at the TV, mostly profanities, and I could faintly hear Kurt and the ladies laughing at us from the kitchen, that of course seeing Kurt sneak a peek at the game from around the corner every once in a while.
Finn and Burt were surprised at my love and knowledge for the sport but I had to say I was having a great time with them. So this is what a family holiday is really like?
XXXX
"You're going down Anderson!" He added a wink and I have to admit the low register of his voice and the idle threat with its connotations were making me lose focus. Kurt was way to good at this psyching out his opponents thing.
We had gone outside, setting the timer for the food so that Kurt and Carol knew when to go in an baste and such, and we had chosen our teams. Its was going to be me, Finn and Carol versus Kurt Burt and Rachel. It seemed pretty even but Kurt's confidence had me worried. I knew he had been a kicker in his sophomore year, and I knew he ran freakishly fast but it seemed like he would stop at nothing to win and that unnerved me. On the other hand he was delicious when he was flustered so I decided to play with him a bit. I turned around and lifted my shirt so that Kurt had a nice few of my ass.
"Hey Kurt...you like the view?" Kurt stood a little dumbfounded as he tried to not check out my ass, "because that's all you're gonna be seeing of me as I run past you!"
Finn gave me a high five on that one and I swore that I could see Kurt's ears burning.
Burt laughed and yelled at me, "Whoa boy are you sure you wanna make him mad...I may be shovelling you out of a snow bank later!"
I winced when I realized that I was playing with fire but I shrugged it off because Kurt wouldn't want me to forfeit the game but play fair and square.
I have never had this much fun. We were assigned a person to cover the entire game ,Carol was to cover Rachel, Finn Burt and I was charged to cover Kurt. I knew Finn did that on purpose because if anyone was going to break his concentration it would be me.
We only allowed tackling in the gentlest ways and no one was allowed to tackle the ladies..it was only fair. They said they didn't mind but we were gentleman dammit even if we were covered in mud by the half way point of the game.
We had put a halt to the game where necessary to go back in and check on the score of the game; Kurt included. He said that this was the only time of the year where he really got into football and didn't understand why...that and Superbowl time. He tried to brush it off that he just liked the Lion's colour scheme because it was flattering to his complexion but I knew he was lying from the excitement in his voice. The other game of the day, Cleveland and Dallas wasn't as important to us but we would still be watching it throughout the day. This was the one that mattered to the Hudmels. The last game of the day was probably going to be forgotten anyway because we would be too full to move or care.
After a thrilling final few minutes, where the Lion's pulled a win basically out of their asses, and a last minute play that Finn and Kurt were chanting was history books worthy, we turned off the TV for a bit and went back out to finish our own game. I secretly hoped I could make history and have the pleasure of helping Finn win his first ever Hudmel Turkey Bowl. God that sounded ridiculous.
Kurt had tried flirting and some very inappropriate touching to try and get me to break my resolve and all I did was throw it back at him. We were swapping touchdowns with every play and the score was still tied no matter what we did. It was ridiculous that we were keeping score but Kurt and Finn were adamant about still keeping the tally in check. Finn and I worked well together and I could see why he got a scholarship in football, he was a natural born leader. I held my own, having played most of my childhood and thanking Terri silently for letting me play in the house league this past spring with some of his buddies in Central Park.
Kurt on the other hand seemed to work well but silently with his dad. The Hummel men were both very good at this sport and I reminded myself to ask Burt about his past experience.
After 3 quarters of god knows how long Kurt ran inside to baste again and start the rest of the meal. Carol and Rachel excused themselves from the remainder of the match saying that they would finish dinner so that Kurt could come back and they could continue 2v2.
As much as Kurt didn't want to leave the food he surrendered the kitchen so that he could come back and as he said, "Finish us off."
Finn and I had coined our team name as 'The Son's' because both of our last names ended in 'son' which Kurt and Burt rolled their eyes at. So it was the Sons versus the Hummels and I was never more determined to wipe that smirk off Kurt's face and help Finn win...wait what were we playing for?
"Hey time out guys...what are we playing for exactly?"
Kurt offered the answer for that, one with mild disdain, "Pride...and gloating rights. Dad and I are undefeated I'll have you know and I don't think that will change anytime soon."
I scoffed at him and returned to my mini huddle with Finn. We decided on our play and I figured it would work...I did have something up my sleeve.
"Boys! Last play... dinner's almost ready and you need time to clean up!"
"OK Carol!" Burt called back.
"I mean it fellas...whatever happens after this play is the final score...no cheating!"
Wow I loved this family.
We settled in for the snap and Kurt eyed me devilishly and if it weren't for my resolve to win, the dirt stained face and clothes, mixed with the dishevelled hair and sweaty brow would have made me forfeit right then and there if I could just take him on the ground where he stood. Kurt, as if seeing this distress batted his eyes at me and gave me a little pout.
"You wouldn't want me to lose would you Blainey Bear?"
"Not working Hummel...as hot as you look right now you are so done for."
Kurt just smirked as he heard the snap. We both took off in our respective directions Kurt right behind me. I slipped behind him and decided that I needed to get him distracted so I goosed him quite roughing causing him to squeal and move away from me. Finn tossed the ball over Burt's outstretched hands and right before I thought I had out-smarted Kurt I felt a gush of air from the waist down and I stopped in my tracks before falling over my pant legs. Kurt had pantsed me! And he was now running away with the ball he caught past an awestruck Finn before diving past his brother into our 'end zone'.
He lay there laughing on the ground as Finn started killing himself howling along with Burt. I ran over to Kurt once I managed to pull my pants back up and tackle Kurt on the ground deciding that tickling as the only payback.
"You pantsed me! You little..I can't believe you did that!" I was merciless with the tickling as I pinned him to the ground. He was laughing so hard that I could see tears in his eyes.
"Stop...I'm sorry...Blaine..stop...don't be...a sore loser...ah ha ha!"
Burt and Finn were retreating into the house still snickering. Burt yelled back, "Told ya not to play with fire kid. Kurt doesn't lose!"
I kept tickling him until he screamed "Uncle uncle!.." I still remained straddling him, holding him down as his breathing evened out.
"I can't believe you pantsed me Kurt...that was soooo cheating."
"I can't believe you goosed me in front of my father Blaine...what was I supposed to do...let you win? Hummels don't lose Anderson!"
I brushed his mud stained cheek lightly before pulling myself and him off the ground. He stood up out of breath still and if I wasn't already breathing hard I swear I would've lost my breath at the sight of him again. I never thought someone could look so hot dirty before but Kurt was definitely the exception.
I pulled him close even though he tried to pull me away and placed a hot but short kiss to his lips. When Kurt looked at me, his voice lower and was softer than I had heard it all day, "Does this mean I'm forgiven?"
"Hmmm maybe but I can think of some ways you could make it up to me later?"
He chuckled and kissed me again before speaking into my lips, " Ohh its on Anderson."

Despite my best efforts to get into the shower with Kurt that idea was thwarted by the idea of Burt and his shotgun. After cleaning up I walked down the stairs to find Finn and Burt all cleaned up and sitting watching the Cowboys game and Kurt, Rach and Carol were setting the table and plating the food. It smelled wonderful in the home and if I could have described it I would have said it smell like... tradition?
Kurt, even though his hair was still a little damp was back in his normal clothes albeit more lose fitting than normal but the sweaty, dirty jock Kurt had washed down the drain. I loved my Kurt but there was something primal about that other Kurt that I wanted to explore...maybe one day once we get home. Huh home...Kurt and I have a home together. I couldn't suppress the smile that formed on my face but I snapped myself out of it and walked into the kitchen to wrap my hands around Kurt's waist.
I didn't expect to get a smack on the hand for the gesture but he turned around and kissed me gently before telling me not so eloquently to get the the hell out of the kitchen and grab a seat at the table.
I just said 'yes dear' which earned a snicker from Carol and Rach before telling the guys to take a seat before our 'partners' killed us.
We were all seated finally at the table, Carol and Burt on the ends and Kurt to my right, and Rach and Finn across the table. It was very cozy but welcoming. Finn reached for the food only to be smacked by Carol. All of us chuckled trying to hide the fact that gigantic Finn could be put in place by such a small woman.
"Finn not yet. Tradition remember."
Kurt leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Every year we say what were thankful for. Be creative it can get kinda emotional."
"Rachel why don't you go first." She cleared his throat and started.
"Well I'm thankful for a lot of things. I'm thankful for my dads and for Finn being the best and most loyal boyfriend I could have asked for. I'm thankful for my talent and friends. I'm thankful for Kurt being my best friend when no one else would try to understand me especially since I can be a bit annoying sometimes. I'm thankful for you both (gesturing to Burt and Carol) for letting me be apart of this family."
Next was Finn, "I'm not too good with words so I'll just say that I'm thankful for my family. Mom, dad, Kurt...you are my family. I'm thankful for you everyday. For Rachel being my girlfriend and for Blaine...for being my brother's knight and shining armour. So yeah...I'm thankful."
I gripped Kurt's hand under the table and I could tell that he was just as moved as I was by Finn's speech.
Burt and Carol both said pretty much the same things. That they were thankful for each other, for their sons and continued good health, and thankful that they could plainly see that their sons were happy in their new lives.
God if I knew that this was going to be so emotional I would have tried to prepare some more but when Kurt started talking I zoned back in and paid attention...this should be interesting.
"Well I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I have the best family in the world. I have a dad whom scared me a few years back when he didn't take care of himself and I almost lost him...I don't know what I would have done if I did..so for that second chance I am grateful. Carol, you have been the mom I needed recently and I draw so much strength from you, even if I did have to save you from your wardrobe." Everyone laughed a little thankfully breaking the tension.
"Rach you're one of my best friends and now basically a sister and for this I'm very grateful. Please take care of Finn...someone has to teach him his left from his right. We all remember the nose/dancing incident." Rachel grabbed her nose instinctively and Kurt rubbed my thigh knowing full well I had no idea what he was talking about.
"And Finn. You know I can't put into words how grateful I am for you. You were my first knight in shining armour. You are amazing Finn...just the way you are." Finn smiled knowingly and I seriously thought my heart would break until I felt his familiar gaze on me right now.
"Blaine...I love you. That should be more than enough to say because I can't put into words how thankful I am for you. You were my best friend and even though this year has been rough it had a silver lining. Us. And I don't intend on ever letting you go."
He pulled our linked hands out from under the table and kissed my knuckles with tears in his eyes.
"Oh Kurt..." I looked around the table to see everyone's eyes focused on us, " how do you expect me to follow that?"
Everyone laughed including Kurt. " I am normally really good with words I swear," Burt chuckled lightly seeming to understand the pressure I was under, "but I will keep this short and sweet before I embarrass myself anymore today than I already have."
"I'm thankful for this...all of this and all of you. I've never had a real tight family before or any real traditions and the fact that you've all welcomed me into your home and lives..." I turned to Kurt, "and hearts make me the luckiest guy here...even if someone here pantsed me in front of his family...I count my blessings for what the world has finally given me."
The laughter changed to a resounding awe when Kurt kissed me then probably a little more enthusiastically then he should've.
"Alright you two knock it off. Some of us are hungry here and we wanna eat." Finn had lightly kicked me under the table breaking the kiss and making me and Kurt blush in unison. Kurt raked his eyes over me then making me shudder and I couldn't wait to get him alone later. I wanted to show him what I was also very thankful for.

Dinner was done, everything was cleaned up and Burt and Carol and Finn and Rach had sleepily retreated to their respective rooms. Blaine and I were collecting our coffee mugs and placing them in the kitchen when I felt Blaine come up from behind me and wrap his arms around my waist and place a open mouth kiss to my neck. Why hello Mr. Anderson! I sighed and leaned back into his touch as he lightly bit down on the same spot making me groan maybe a little louder than I should have in my parents kitchen.
I leaned back and I could feel the beginnings of his already half hard length against my clothed ass. It was a delicious sensation but one that I wanted reserved for my bedroom alone.
I spun around in his grasp using the counter for leverage and connected our lips in a fiery kiss. It was deep and warm and I felt Blaine's tongue exploring my mouth insistently and I felt myself drowning into the kiss.
He broke away slightly out of breath, "I've waited all day to do that. Do you have any idea what you do to me Kurt?" In a moment of sheer bravery I reached down and palmed Blaine through his jeans. Digging the heel of my palm down his already very hard length now, sending shivers across my boyfriends entire body as he covered up a moan by biting his bottom lip.
"Oh I have an idea what I do to you.." He placed his hands roughly on my hips as I leaned in close to his ear, "Would you like me to show you what I can do to you though?"
Blaine's hands tightened on my hips and he let our what I can only describe as a growl and ok I was going to need to get Blaine to make that noise as often as possible because it went straight to my crotch. He kissed me hungrily but broke it off as he all but dragged me up the stairs not stopping at all until we reached my door.
Once inside my room I could hold back no longer; I needed him in any way he would let me and I had to get him to make that fucking noise again.
I pushed him rather roughly against my bedroom door as I attached my lips to his again. It was insistent and urgent with far too much tongue and teeth but I could give a shit at this moment because it was perfect; it was what I wanted, what I needed. And I was thankful...oh so fucking thankful!
He tried to take off my clothes but I stopped him pinning his arms above his head like I know he secretly liked and attached my mouth to his neck and the small amount of collarbone that was exposed.
"Don't move." I whispered as I left go of his hands. Like a good boy he stayed where I told him as I lowered my hands to the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head with a flourish. I leaned in and placed a few kiss to his chiseled chest before taking one of his nipple in my mouth and biting it roughly.
"Fuck Kurt!" He was squirming and trying to keep his hands where I told them to stay but I could see he was having difficulty. I decided to relieve a little of his tension as I began to unbutton his jeans. I used my other hand to go back to palming him through his pants, never stopping my motions even as I pulled them down to his ankles.
He kicked them off as I backed away from him to admire my handwork.
Blaine was panting standing against my door clad only in his boxer briefs with his hands gripping the door hanger over his head. He looked beautiful and I couldn't take it any longer.
I walked over to him full of purpose and reconnected our lips, holding his face firmly in one hand as I grasped his length through his boxer briefs. I darted my tongue into his mouth seductively licking the roof of his mouth as I left it before dropping to my knees in front of him.
I pulled down his boxers in one quick movement and then looked up at him as I grasped him at the base and licked the tip tasting his precum.
Blaine threw his head back against the door and let out another one of those delicious growls I had been trying to get from him. As a reward I took all of him in my mouth swirling my tongue around as I did. I could feel myself getting painfully hard in my own pants but I restrained myself from relieving myself knowing I had other plans tonight. I was going to show Blaine how much I was thankful for him...and he was going to scream about it.
I altered tempos, speeds, and depths, alternating the pressure I put on the underside of his cock and I could tell Blaine was losing it quickly. He gave up his resolve in not moving because I felt a hand in my hair pulling enthusiastically causing me to moan around his member. This sent Blaine over the edge before he could warn me. He screamed something that resembled my name as he shot himself down my throat. For a brief second I wondered if anyone heard that but the salty and sweet taste of Blaine filling my mouth, which I was all to eager to swallow, had me forget all about noise restraints.
Blaine was panting and looked a complete wreck when I released him from my mouth and gazed up at him from where I was still on my knees. He looked so debauched that I could have come from that sight alone but when Blaine released another small growl from the back of his throat my instincts to continue ravishing him were rekindled ten fold. I stood up quickly and kissed Blaine roughly, placing my hands in his curls and tugging on them, relishing the feel of his soft hair wrapped around my hands.
I guided him away from the door on his now unsteady legs as I brought my hands down his shoulders to his waist. I lowered him on the bed and climbed on top of him never breaking the kiss we were lost in.
"Too..many..clothes." Blaine mumbled against my lips and I couldn't agree more. I released his lips to quickly rid myself of my shirt before standing up and pulling my pants and boxers off in one go. There was something to be said about the looser clothes I had on today...they came off more easily.
I stood there for a second, naked and exposed and drank in the sight of my boyfriend laying on my bed spread open for me and me only to see, raking in my body as I stood there.
"Fuck you're gorgeous Kurt."
I grabbed my own cock and rubbed it tightly before I knew that I was actually doing it. The welcome friction from my own hand as I watched my boyfriend literally try and harden again laying there was one of the best sensations I have ever felt.
"Oh my god Kurt...please get over here. I need you...please." I was glad he said something because if he didn't I probably would have stood their jerking myself off to the sight of my extremely hot and naked boyfriend and it would have been over before I wanted it to be.
"Ya know what I'm uugh thankful for Blaine?"
"Wha?"
"This."
I crawled back on top of him very slowly until I heard that noise from Blaine again and he roughly pulled me down so that our bodies we flush against one another. The combined heat of our bodies mixed with the alternate feeling of my smooth skin with his light dusting of body hair had my senses in over drive. I leaned down and started working my mouth on his pecks and nipples creating the most delicious sounds from Blaine that I had ever heard. I left marks across his body wherever I stopped to worship and I could tell Blaine was losing it again. I was marvelled at my own resolve having been able to control how badly I wanted to come.
"Kurt please stop teasing...please I need you...inside me."
My breath caught. I was planning on maybe suggesting this but I wasn't sure if he was ready for me that way. I looked up at this face for conformation, detaching my lips as I did and I saw a look of pure love and conviction on his face.
"Are you sure? We can w-wait if you're not ready for this baby." I rubbed soothing circles over his abs letting him know that I was serious about waiting.
"No no Kurt I..please I need you."
I crawled up so that our faces were just barely touching as I reached over and grabbed the bottle of lube from my right hand drawer. I placed a kiss on his lips which was a lot more tender than any of the kisses we had shared this evening.
"Blaine...just...tell me if you need me to stop ok?" I kissed him again before I lowered myself between his waiting legs. I had never done this before but Blaine had done it to me a few times now so I guess I just had to copy what he did and go from there.
I squirted a bunch of lube onto my fingers and with my other hand caressed his thigh willing him to spread his legs farther apart. As he did, I lowered my head and kissed the inside of his thigh and Blaine hummed in appreciation. I took this moment to lightly tease his puckered hole with my middle finger and I felt him shake with anticipation.
I slowly breached the ring of tight muscles as I pushed my finger into him; completely sheathing my digit in his warm heat. It was a strange sensation for me but from the mild panting that Blaine was doing I could only remember how it felt for me when I was in his position. I stilled my fingers only to hear Blaine say, "Move its ok baby. I'm ok...please."
I moved my finger slowly, trying my best not to hurt him but he seemed to be thrusting back against me maybe even a little impatiently so I quickly added another finger. This caused Blaine to wince a little so I stilled my hand again and waited for him to give me the signal that it was ok to continue. After a minute or so he spoke up.
"God Kurt move please ..I need more...."
I moved my hand again this time picking up the pace a little quicker than I did the previous time and then I remembered what Blaine had done to me and crooked my fingers as I started scissoring them. I was feeling around for something that I didn't know if I could f...
"HOLYFUCKRIGHTTHERE!" Ok maybe I could find it.
This renewed my confidence a little as I continued to stretch Blaine, repeatedly flicking my fingers deliberately over that little bundle of nerves, memorizing where it was so that I could literally have him screaming for me. Once I add the third finger I could tell that Blaine nor I could take much more of this. I was so hard watching my boyfriend lose it under my administration for the second time tonight and I still hadn't come. Blaine was rock hard again too and with every forceful thrust of my fingers he was panting and thrusting back with more enthusiasm.
"Kurt I need you in me...NOW!"
I pulled out of him with a whine escaping his mouth as I leaned back over top of him kissing him with so must desire I thought I would burst from it.
"Oh thank god." I kissed him again before sitting back on my heels and grabbing the bottle of lube and coating my cock in a generous amount. I hadn't realized how neglected my dick felt until I was coating it thoroughly. I stopped myself from getting anymore excited as I lined myself up with Blaine's now stretched hole.
"Fuck Kurt...please." I leaned in so the tip of my cock was pressing against his entrance. I raised the one hand that wasn't holding me up and brushed some hair off his sweaty brow.
"I love you."
"God..I love you too Kurt...please..." He was so hot when he begged.
Without breaking eye contact I slowly pushed inside him. To say that he was incredibly tight was an understatement. I was silently wishing I was done this sooner rather than later because the pressure was going to make this end much sooner than I had hoped. I heard Blaine moan in unison with me, him obviously feeling the fullness from me now being completely buried in him.
I stilled my movements no matter how difficult it was to stay still and not pound into him, because I knew he needed time to adjust.
The seconds felt like hours as I let him get used to my size. I wasn't a small size by any means and I was worried about hurting him. Blaine's eyes were scrunched up in pain but I could see them relaxing visibly as a different expression crossed his face.
"Move." His hands were on my shoulders as I stayed mine on his hips as I pulled out and slowly thrust back in all the way.
Blaine gasped but it was shaky and I could see that it was at least half pleasurable for him now. I repeated the same thrust, slow but deep a few times and I could tell that he was getting used to it and finally enjoying it from the look on his face.
"Faster Kurt..please faster."
Who was I to say no to that? My cock was basically begging me to speed up and basally fuck him into next week and Blaine was basically giving me the go ahead on that.
I pulled out again but this time I snapped my hips back with quite a bit more force causing my boyfriend's eyes to snap open.
"Holy fuck Kurt! He gripped my shoulders tighter and I dug my hands into his hips as I picked up the pace and force with every thrust. I couldn't think of a better feeling then what I was sharing now with Blaine. Everything was hazy as I lost myself in the bliss that our entangled bodies were sharing. I picked up the pace as I shifted positions slightly lifting his ass a little as I did and that's when Blaine wailed.
"FUCK YES...God Kurt again!" I had obviously found the perfect angle so I picked up the pace so that I was thrusting into him without holding back. Blaine was basically screaming obscenities and there was no doubt that someone would hear him. I could have cared less though. I matched his screaming and panting with some curses of my own at how good it felt to inside him, how much I just wanted to stay inside him forever but before I knew it I felt myself begin to lose it and the warmth in my stomach started to boil over.
I leaned down a captured his lips in a kiss that was wet and all tongue.
"Blaine fuck you feel so good...come for me baby...I need you to come with me." I thrust particularly hard punctuating my sentence as it were and he responded something resembling, "Fuck, oh god Kurt...I'm gonna...oh shit!"
Before I could say anything in response I felt his body tense and the warmth of his seed spreading over his stomach and some on my own. The feeling of him coming and constricting around me didn't just push me over the edge but had me tumbling head first over it.
"Ahhh fuck Blaine..." I stuttered and spasmed in unison with him and it think I may have blacked out from the force of the orgasm if it wasn't for the reminder spasm that Blaine was inflicting on my now increasingly sensitive cock. I leaned down and kissed him over and over and over again as I tried to relay how perfect everything was and how incredible he made me feel but it was never enough.
I slowly pulled out of him and saw him wince and heard his breath intake sharply at the absence of me and the after effects of me being a little too enthusiastic.
I rolled over so that I was laying beside him and placed loving kisses to his temples jaw and chest.
"I'm sorry baby if I was too rough." Blaine looked over at me and chuckled grabbing my face in his hands.
'Are you kidding me right now Kurt? You basically just fucked the daylights out of me because I'm pretty sure I can't remember my own name right now and you're sorry?"
"Well you winced and I didn't want to hurt you that bad..."
"Kurt I just came twice in the last hour. I can't stop smiling and I have a beautiful boyfriend who has made it his mission tonight to mark me as his own and make sure I can't walk straight in front of his family...don't be sorry because I sure as hell am not!"
"I fucking love you Kurt Hummel...and that couldn't have been more perfect." He kissed me deeply.
"Besides...where did you learn to do all of that. And where did that animal come from...I kinda like him?"
I giggled and went to grab a wash cloth to clean him and I off. When I came back I just simply said, "It all started because of that fucking noise you made...that growl."
"I growled?"
"Yeah repeatedly...and it did things to me...and I expect to hear it again because its just damn sexy." I cleaned us off and then gestured for him to crawl under the covers for a snuggle.
He winced again and this time it didn't bother me so much because I saw the smile that appeared on his face afterwards.
"You like the pain don't you? You little freak you." I laughed and pulled him closer, me being the big spoon for a change as I breathed in the scent of Blaine mixed with sex.
I felt Blaine shaking in a fit of giggles.
"What?"
"I'm your... dirty little freak!" He sang the last of few words and made an all too familiar hand gesture that I recognized from many years back.
'Oh my god you're such a dork."
"Yes...but you love me anyway." I smiled into his neck and pecked him lightly.
"That I do. Night Blaine."
"Night baby. Love you too."

I rolled out of bed the following morning bright and early...well maybe not bright, it was November, but I could tell it was morning from the small amount of light that was coming through the window. Kurt was still fast asleep which he would kill me for earlier, not remembering to set and alarm so he could get up and get ready to go shopping but he looked so peaceful there, I couldn't wake him up just yet.
I snuck out of the room grabbing my change of clothes and shower essentials, throwing a robe over my naked body when I noticed that walking was pretty difficult.
Wow Kurt really did a number on me last night.
I smiled to myself as I pulled the door closed behind me before trying to hobble down the hall to the shower, when I almost ran into Burt.
"Good morning Blaine! How are you this morning?"
I tried my best to wipe the smile off my face but to no avail.
"I'm good Burt how are you?"
"Slept ok once I got to sleep...you hurt yourself or something Blaine? You're sorta limping."
There was a look on his face that was a mix of irritation and amusement and I felt like I was going to die right there on the spot from embarrassment.
"Uh...I dunno maybe I did hurt myself yesterday...during the game or something."
"Uh huh sure Blaine. Your voice sounds a little horse too...maybe from too much yelling at the TV." He waltzed by me knowingly and turned around just before I was about to run into the bathroom
"Hey Blaine?"
"Uh yeah?"
"Kurt's a pretty dominant person Blaine...I told you not to play with fire yesterday...guess you learnt your lesson huh?... Our little secret Blaine...our little secret."
And with that he snickered and walked down the stairs leaving me with my mouth open and eyes unblinking.
Ok children that was long! I hope you liked it. I am actually very proud of this giant chapter :D Come on for a chapter that long I deserve some reviews right...come on don't make me beg...alright pleeeeeaaasseee!
