bethanycriss- They don't live together yet but it'll happen soon. Maybe something like the way Carol helps take care of Kurt pushes Blaine's dad to propose. I'll try to keep them pretty oblivious of each other's feelings (and thanks for the suggestions/feedback)!
WhenRiversTurnToRoads- I'm so glad you liked it (and you hate Kurt's parents as much as me)! Kurt really is a great character. I promise I'm typing as fast as my muse inspires me (which, admittedly, isn't always all that fast).
Temarifan9622- Thank you! I hope you enjoy!
tranghana- Yeah, never thought it was something I would say either
RKT&G- I know its really weird- I keep mixing their names up too (and I hope you know who you are because for some reason every time put in your full username and then I save the document on FF, it deletes it)
"And here is the den- where you'll be staying." Burt said after finishing the tour.
Kurt was still amazed and unbelievably grateful that Burt (and Blaine) and opened there home to him.
"I hope the couch isn't too lumpy for you." Burt said frowning. Maybe I should let him sleep on the futon in Blaine's room.
"It'll be fine Mr. And- Burt. Thank you." Kurt said setting down his suitcase.
After being discharged from the hospital, the three men drove to Westerville to pick up some of Kurt's things and explain to his professors and the dean what had happened. Everyone at Dalton seemed pretty accommodating and after a visit to Kurt's room (which was supposed to be brief but was dramatically lengthened by the appearance of Wes and David), they men set off again to get Kurt all settled into the Anderson household.
"Alright, I'll give you some time to settle in- then Breadsticks for dinner?" Burt said.
"Sounds good dad." Blaine said and then mouthed silently 'thank you'.
Burt nodded with a small smile and then left the boys. The two sat there and it Blaine's dismay it was awkward- when Kurt was in the hospital, Blaine was just a friend keeping him company but now that they were in his home (and Kurt staying there for 10 days), something had changed. Yeah, my feelings. I don't think I've ever felt closer to a human being in my life.
"So, what do you want to do now?" Blaine asked for the sake of ignoring the awkward silence (and his own thoughts).
"I suppose unpack." Kurt replied, standing and looking for a place where he could put his things.
"Sounds like a plan." Blaine replied.
Blaine went to the closet in the den and saw that his father had already cleared some space in there so that Kurt could hang up some of his clothes and utilize the shelves for the rest.
The two boys set about the task of putting everything away in a barely comfortable silence. It was killing Blaine that things were weird- and it's only the first day. What would things be like on the third or sixth or ninth?
It didn't take too long for the boys to put all the things away and when they were done, they settled down on the couch and watched some TV.
"What do you want to watch?" Blaine asked flipping through the channels, but stopped once he reached Lifetime and saw that Project Runway was on.
"Oh! I haven't seen this one yet." Kurt said excitedly, his eyes shining.
Blaine wished he could have participated in the conversation with Kurt fully but Blaine was too busy noticing just how much Kurt really did love fashion. He had known the boy loved fashion but he had just chalked it up to the boy being stylish. However, watching Kurt watching the show, showed Blaine a whole new level.
"You really love fashion don't you?" Blaine said before he had even realized that he was speaking out loud.
Kurt blushed and Blaine thought it might have been on of the most adorable things that he had ever seen.
"I want to be a fashion designer someday." Kurt replied honestly.
"Not a performer?" Blaine questioned quite surprised.
"Not really. I love performing but its not something I can see myself doing for my whole life- for awhile yes but I want to get my degree in fashion design."
Blaine smiled at Kurt and waited for him to continue. He wanted to know everything he could about Kurt and somehow Blaine sensed that this was something that Kurt rarely talked about- perhaps for lack of someone willing to listen or someone who would be as excited about it as he is.
"I can see myself becoming the next Alexander McQueen- having everyone walking around wearing clothes I dreamt of."
"I'll be first in line." Blaine found himself smiling, then blushing profusely. What has gotten into me? Where did my filter go?
"I'd like that." Kurt replied with a smile. "So, what do you want to do Mr. Anderson?"
"I don't know." Blaine replied blushing. "Part of me has always wanted to be a musician but I'm not entirely sure how practical that is."
Kurt scoffed, assuming he was being modest, but decided not to mention anything in favor of asking- "And the other part?"
"I want to help people- maybe become a lawyer or a doctor." Blaine said then was shocked when he realized that this was something that he never told anyone- not even Mercedes.
Blaine realized his shock must have shown on his face when Kurt's face gave him a small smile.
"I think its a wonderful dream- and I promise I won't tell anyone."
Blaine gave him a smile and wasn't all that surprised to find that part of him felt that it was right that the first person he admitted it to was Kurt- he was quickly becoming someone Blaine felt like he could tell everything to...except perhaps the most important thing: how Blaine was developing feelings about Kurt.
"You boys ready for-?" Burt asked walking into the living room but stopped when he saw the scene before him: Kurt was asleep leaning against Blaine- his head resting on his shoulder- while Blaine's head was resting on top of Kurt's.
He knew that neither boy had to have been getting much sleep since the accident. He had never seen his son so worked up over a guy (including Finn, even though he and Blaine had a silent agreement to pretend like that stage of his life had never happened). Burt had to resist the urge to take a picture (for blackmail the next time Blaine gave him a hard time about anything).
After watching the two boys napping, he sighed and decided it was time to wake them. There would be plenty of time for sleeping after they got a decent meal in them.
"Blaine, buddy, wake up." Burt said, giving his son's shoulder a squeeze. He got no response. So, he tried Kurt. "Kurt, you have to wake up son."
Kurt stirred and blearily opened his eyes. "Mr. Anderson?" He asked.
"Yeah, you two must have been more tired than you were letting on. It's time for dinner- we're going out to Breadsticks so you guys can have a good meal and then you can come back and sleep all you want."
"That sounds great Mr.-Burt." Kurt replied, then seemed to realize the position he was in and blushed red.
"I'm gonna go grab my wallet from the kitchen- see if you can wake him." Burt said before leaving Kurt to deal with Blaine.
Kurt was grateful Mr. Anderson- Burt, I have to remember to call him Burt- had ignored the position the two boys were in. It wasn't lost on Kurt as to why he was sleeping on the couch in the living room, when Blaine had a great futon in his basement bedroom.
"Blaine." Kurt said softly, while nudging Blaine.
Blaine just groaned in returned and proceeded to nuzzle up against Kurt. Kurt felt his heart start to race a little (not that he'd ever admit it).
"Blaine, its dinner time, you've got to wake up." Kurt said, pulling away from Blaine.
Blaine finally woke up. Kurt had to stop himself from squealing because of how adorable Blaine looked half-asleep and inches away from his face.
"Dinner?" Blaine asked still half asleep (and still on Kurt's shoulder- not that he was complaining).
"Yeah, your dad came in and said we're going to Breadsticks so we can have a good meal then we could come back and crash." Kurt said softly.
"Sounds like a plan." Blaine said before sitting up fully.
Both boys instantly missed the contact but covered it up by stretching to fully wake themselves up. Both boys exited the living room just as Burt was about to come get them.
Burt smiled at the two slightly disheveled boys and how they each seemed to be blushing. I wonder how long it'll take for the two of them to realize how much they like each other.
Not sure how I liked the ending but I suppose it needed to end somehow and I didn't want to hold up this chapter any longer than I already have. As always, let me know what you thought and what you'd like to see happen next.
