Sarahamanda- I'm glad you liked this chapter :) Hopefully you'll like this one too
Temarifan9622- I'm glad you loved it...wouldn't have been written if it hadn't been for you wanting to see the meeting between all the boys.
e m o m i n t- Glad you thought it was cute. I haven't quite figured out if/when Kurt is going to make it back to Dalton and whether Blaine will join him...I think I know what's going to happen but I'm never 100% sure until its down on the page.
KurtandBlaineGleek- I humbly accept your props, I hope that you enjoy this next chapter as its readers/reviewers like you keep me going...maybe I'll add Kurt being a contestant to a list of what to write next- if you don't write it first anyway.
The rest of the visit goes by in a flurry of song discussions, an explanation of Wes' gavel obsession ("I'm not obsessed! I...just like the power gives me." "So you're obsessed with power?"), plans of revenge against Kurt's father ("no-we should use a rusty butter knife", "No I think a butter knife is still too sharp") and stolen glances between Blaine and Kurt.
"Hey, check in with us every once in awhile." David said as all the boys left the coffee shop.
"Will do guys. Keep all the Warblers on their toes for me?" Kurt called back.
"Oh like there are any doubts?" Wes replied. "Keep an eye our boy Anderson."
"I have a feeling that he'll be able to handle himself...but I will."
All the boys bid goodbye to one another once more before David and Wes piled into a car and left for Dalton. Kurt watched them drive away and he tried to keep the pained look off of his face but Blaine was getting far too well at reading him.
"As much as I want to keep you close, especially now-" Blaine said giving Kurt's hand a squeeze. "-I promise you'll get back to Dalton one way or another."
Kurt pulled Blaine into a tight, quick hug before releasing him. He really couldn't believe how lucky he was to have met Blaine.
"Let's get going- I'm sure dinner is almost ready and Dad has got to be wondering where the heck we've ran off too." Blaine said, pulling Kurt toward the car.
The two boys drove home, just listening to music and holding hands. They had both been thinking about this moment for a long time and they both couldn't believe it had finally happened.
However, there bubble was broken once they pulled up to the house. The two got out of the car and they approached the house holding hands. It was right before they finally reached the door when they realized the problem...
"What are we going to tell your dad?" Kurt said, stopping Blaine just shy of being able to reach the doorknob.
"What do you mean?" Blaine said, not following Kurt's thoughts.
"Blaine, we're kinda dating now, right?-" Kurt asked, suddenly realizing they had never actually said anything. Blaine nodded furiously and Kurt smiled but then it fell off his face again when he remembered what else he had to say. "What is your dad going to say about your boyfriend living with you?"
"Oh." Blaine replied.
He hadn't thought of that. What would his dad think of Kurt still living there now that they've declared their feelings? It wasn't like his father didn't already know that there would be another gay boy living under the same roof as his equally gay son...but that was before his father would have to worry about boys acting on their attraction to one another (not that they would be doing anything too intimate anytime soon).
"Come on- standing out here isn't going to change anything." Kurt said opening the front door.
The two boys took deep breathes and entered the living room, keeping an eye out for Burt. They eventually found him in the living room, watching a bit of the local news.
"Hey dad." Blaine greeted, trying to ignore how hard Kurt was squeezing his hand.
"Hey guys." He replied, not looking away from the TV. "Take a seat. Carol is in the kitchen making dinner and it'll be ready soon."
The two boys remained where they were, each trying to gather courage. Kurt to speak to his boyfriend's father about the relationship- Blaine for the same reason but more so because nothing bad could really happen to him...but Kurt could get kicked out of the house and where would he go?
"Um, dad, we need to talk to you." Blaine said, almost unconsciously.
Burt turned to look at the boys, noticed how nervous they looked and promptly shut the TV off.
"What's wrong?" Burt said trying to ignore all the thoughts that were coming to the forefront of his mind.
"We, um..." Kurt started and then stopped himself.
"While we were out for coffee with Wes and David- Kurt's friends- I um..." Blaine started and then trailed off, his courage leaving him.
"Boys, just spit it out." Burt said, trying for the right balance between firm enough to get them to tell him but not firm enough to scare them.
'We're dating." Kurt and Blaine blurted out at the same time and then flushed red.
"What?" Burt asked, not entirely trusting what he had heard.
"I told Kurt that I had feelings for him and he said that he has feelings for me too...and well, he's agreed to be my boyfriend." Blaine replied, trying to get a read on his father but his face was a blank slate.
Burt remained silent and the boys sat there anxiously. They didn't know what to expect but one word and then silence with an unreadable face wasn't what the had expected.
"Mr. Anderson, please say something." Kurt said, his voice shaking slightly. He was just starting to realize just how much he had to lose: a family, a home, a boyfriend, an education.
"Well, I can't say I didn't see it coming." Burt said finally.
Both boys look confused but the knots that had been forming the their stomachs loosen a little.
If he saw it coming and he still let Kurt move in with us then he won't...can't be too mad at us. Blaine thought even though he was still slightly worried about his father was going to be thinking.
"So, what does that mean?" Blaine finally said. "Is it...okay?"
Burt looked at the boys and realized just how anxious they really were. He suddenly felt very sorry for being silent for so long.
"Yes, of course its okay. I can see that you two care for each other- it just means some ground rules need to be set." Burt replied.
"And those are?" Kurt prompted, slightly relieved but still a little nervous about what Burt was thinking.
"One, bedroom doors stay open at all times when you two are both in one of your bedrooms." Burt said, ignoring the boys blushing. "Two, you each sleep in your own beds at night-"
"Dad!" Blaine yelled, flushing a bright red. If he would have looked at Kurt, he would be impressed with the shade of red he was turning as well. "We just started dating like an hour ago!"
"I know- its just...I was a teenage boy once- and I know how hormones can take control-"
"This isn't happening- this can't be happening." Blaine muttered as he dropped his head in his hands. He couldn't believe his father was doing this to him- in front of Kurt.
"Boys, seriously. I know how teenage boys think- I just...you boys be smart and careful about things. The physical stuff is something you will think about and it is somewhat important- but know that you're feelings matter more and you can always talk to me about anything- both of you."
All three individuals all just stared at each other in silence- all silent for their own reasons. Lucky, for all those involved, it wasn't much longer before Carol announced that dinner was ready and the silence was broken.
"Alright, let's go eat." Burt said rising.
"Thanks dad." Blaine said, giving his father a quick hug before heading into the dining room.
"Thanks Mr. Anderson, I promise that I'll keep an eye on him." Kurt said before following Blaine into the dining room.
"Things just got a little more complicated." Burt said to himself but he couldn't help but smile- his boy was as happy as he'd seen him in a long time and Kurt needed him just as much.
"Well, that was kinda painless." Kurt said as he and Blaine headed into Blaine's basement room.
The two boys had made it through dinner and a little family TV time without too much more fuss (save for Carol gushing over their newly formed relationship- she wasn't surprised that it happened either).
"Door open!" Burt shouted from his spot in the living room.
"We got it dad!" Blaine called back.
He sighed once and Kurt restrained a laugh as they continued on down the stairs.
"I'm glad that you're amused." Blaine said flopping down on his bed, Kurt sitting on the edge.
"Come on, its kinda funny." Kurt said and just smiled when Blaine gave him a dirty look. "Look at it this way- it could have gone a lot worse...in two different ways."
Blaine looked at Kurt and waited for him to continue the thought.
"Well, the first way it could have gone worse is he could have actually given you/us the talk with graphic details and gestures."
Blaine groaned and Kurt laughed...but then he trailed off and the smile fell off of his face.
"And the second was he could have not been accepting of us and kicked me out and I would lose everything...again- except this time it would be worse because I'd lose you right after I found out that you actually like me back."
"Oh Kurt." Blaine said and pulled him into his arms.
The two boys stayed like that for a long time. Kurt needed to know he had a place and well, Blaine just wanted to keep him close.
"Well, I better head upstairs." Kurt said while very reluctantly pulling away from Blaine. "Tomorrow is a big day of sorting through everything from Dalton and deciding what to bring here. Can't take too much in case my dad checks and notices things were taken- though I doubt he even cares that much. I just hate the thought of it all sitting in that horrible storage unit. Oh God my clothes are going to be all wrinkly and reek of...gross!"
Blaine tried not to laugh at the horrified look on Kurt's face when he thought of his clothes...but failed and had to quickly cover it up with:
"Reek of gross?"
"Leave me alone- I'm distressed." Kurt said but Blaine could see the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Blaine stared at Kurt and willed this moment to be less awkward- neither wanted to say goodnight but they knew they had to.
"Go on- get upstairs before my dad freaks out." Blaine said rising to walk him to the stairs.
"Goodnight Blaine." Kurt said with a small smile.
"Night Kurt." He replied.
The two looked at each other and moment longer, before Blaine leaned in and kissed Kurt softly. Kurt responded for a moment before pulling away, knowing that if he didn't pull away now- he might not ever stop kissing Blaine.
