Sorry about the delay. School started back up and my schedule got busy. So I know this chapter is on the shorter side but I am splitting the Thanksgiving chapter up into two parts. After I publish this one I will start on the next part and I may have it up this weekend.

Again thank you for reading and reviewing this story!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE OR THE CHARACTERS!


Kurt had just finished the last of his packing when David entered the room.

"How was your last class," Kurt asked.

"Boring, but I am so happy to be done for a week."

"I know the feeling. I just finished packing."

"Are you excited to meet the Andersons?"

"Nervous is more like it."

"You'll do fine."

"Well you must be excited to spend time with your family."

"You have no idea."

The boys laughed as David started to finish packing his things.

"I think it sucks that you can't see yours."

Kurt sat on his bed and looked down.

"I miss them a lot but I know that it is better if I just stay here."

"I hear you there. Sometimes leaving home again is the hardest thing of all. Now, you have to promise me that you will text me any embarrassing photos or videos of Blaine that you take this week."

"Will do."

"Have a good break, Kurt."

"You too."

David offered Kurt a smile before heading out. Kurt laid back as he waited for Blaine. Kurt started to think of everyone back home and how Sebastian was on his way home. Kurt knew staying was the best option. Besides he was excited about spending time with Blaine and his family. While Kurt was in deep thought there was a knock on the door.

"Kurt, it's Blaine. I'm ready to go if you are."

"Be right out."

Kurt grabbed his suitcases and headed out the door.

"Wow, you packed a lot. You do know that the break is only a week right," Blaine teased as Kurt locked up.

"Ha, ha, you are so funny," Kurt said turning to face Blaine for the first time.

Blaine had to fight to keep his jaw from dropping. Kurt was not in his Dalton uniform, or his relaxed look of simple jeans and a top that he wore to work. Kurt had started dressing down more the longer he was at Dalton so Blaine forgot Kurt's original style was much more fashionable. Kurt currently had tight dark red pants with a nice white shirt and a fitted long black cardigan with some kind of lace up boot.

"You look really good."

"Well I have to dress to impress."

"You don't have to worry about impressing my parents."

"Of course I do. I have to make a good first impression with everyone."

"Just be yourself."

Kurt smiled as Blaine went to carry some of Kurt's bags.

"You don't have to do that."

Blaine scoffed.

"I am a dapper gentlemen so of course I do. Besides, my stuff is already in the car."

Kurt smiled as Blaine helped him out to the car. It was about a short drive to Blaine's home. Once they got there Blaine got everything out of the car as Kurt admired the exterior.

"This is a gorgeous house. It's big and the yard looks well kept. Do you have gardeners?"

"Nope, the yard, flowers and gardens are maintained by my mom. That has always been her thing. She says it helps her relax. You should see it in the spring with all the flowers. Well, should we head inside."

Kurt nodded grabbed his bags and followed Blaine to the front door.

"Well, here goes nothing," Blaine mumbled as he opened the door.

"Mom? Are you home?"

"Is that my little boy," a voice said.

"Mom, I haven't been home a minute and you are already embarrassing me," Blaine complained as Mrs. Anderson greeted the boys.

"Well, excuse me for missing you. You don't come home enough," Blaine's mom said as she hugged her son. Kurt noticed that she was very pretty. She currently had her hair down which had a slight curl, and wearing a nice skirt and blouse.

"Mom, this is Kurt."

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Anderson," Kurt politely said.

Mrs. Anderson pulled Kurt into a hug.

"It is so nice to meet you Kurt, but please call me Kate."

"You have a lovely home," Kurt said, "The décor is absolutely perfect."

"Why thank you Kurt. It is so nice to have someone appreciate all my hard work. You see the last time I had the urge to redesign my husband and Blaine didn't even notice until they went to watch some sports game and noticed the television was not in the same spot."

Kurt laughed and Blaine blushed.

"Do either of you boys want anything to eat or drink?"

"I'm okay, do you want anything Kurt," Blaine asked.

"I'm fine, thank you."

"Well, if you need anything just let me know. Blaine why don't you show Kurt where the guest room is and you two can unpack your things."

Kurt followed Blaine up the stairs.

"The guest room is about two doors down from my room so if you need any help just let me know," Blaine said as he opened the room to the guest room.

Kurt looked around the room. It was big for a guest room, it reminded Kurt of a couple of the rooms back home. It was obvious that Blaine's mom had amazing taste because the room was styled nicely without being overly stuffy.

"Is this okay," Blaine asked, "Also, there is an en suite bathroom attached for your conveince."

"This is a really nice guest room."

"Mom makes sure any guests are comfortable. So after we unpack I will give you the grand tour.."

"Can't wait," Kurt said.

Blaine left to go to his room and Kurt started to unpack. There was a large closet and a dresser so he had plenty of room for his clothes. Kurt carefully hung up his clothes and got everything put away. After he finished he walked down a couple doors and saw Blaine had his door open. Kurt leaned against the door and watched his friend. Blaine was quickly shoving his clothes into his own closet. Kurt looked around and saw Blaine's room was kept neat fro a typical teenage boy. There were some scattered posters on the walls along with photos, trophies and other objects on the dresser and desk. Kurt quietly knocked on the door causing Blaine to jump.

"You scared me."

"Sorry, I was just going to tell you I was finished."

"Great, then I'll show you around."

Kurt smiled as Blaine grabbed his hand and led him back to the hallway. Blaine started with the upper level. Most of the rooms were storage or bedrooms so they quickly made their way downstairs.

"Over to the right is the kitchen and if you head straight you will enter the living and family room. Also, there is the a door in the back that leads to the back patio."

Kurt walked around and took in his new surroundings.

"I can't thank you enough for inviting me."

Blaine smiled.

"Trust me it was no problem."

"How come you don't visit home more if this is what you come home to?"

"I love it here and I try to get along with my dad and we get along a lot of the time. It is just the times we do fight, I just get so frustrated that I avoid coming home."

"That's so sad."

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"How did your dad take you coming out?"

"Pretty well. It took a little bit of time for him to fully be comfortable but he always made sure that he loved me no matter what."

"Lucky."

"I'm sure your dad doesn't love you any less because of your sexual orientation."

"Deep down I know that but I just wish our relationship was a little better."

"He has never hurt you has he."

Blaine looked upset.

"Of course not."

Kurt felt bad for what he said.

"I didn't mean to imply that he would. It's just that you hear stories of parents having the most horrible reactions to their children coming out."

"I guess I made it sound worse than it is. He has never hit me or anything. I think he just hopes this is just a phase. He will still make comments about how some girl is cute and we would make a good couple."

"I'm sure your dad will realize that you were born this way soon enough."

Kurt gave Blaine a smile and Blaine hugged his friend. Kurt melted into the touch.

"Boys, did you get all settled in—oh, I am so sorry."

Blaine and Kurt jumped apart.

"I didn't mean to interrupt anything," Kate said, "I just wanted to know if you boys got unpacked."

Blaine answered.

"Yeah, we got unpacked, I was just showing Kurt around."

"Alright. Well you father will be home soon and dinner will be served around six," Kate said.

"Thanks mom, I am going to show Kurt the back."

Blaine guided Kurt to the back patio.

"This is nice," Kurt said.

"In summer I love coming out here and just relaxing in the sun."

"Sounds nice."

"Oh, it is."

The boys laughed. Kurt leaned over the patio and Blaine took the opportunity to check out Kurt's backside. Blaine was lost in his fantasy when he got caught.

"Enjoy the view," Kurt asked causing Blaine to turn deep red.

"I-um-I was just-I'm sorry."

Kurt giggled.

"You are cute when you stutter."

"You are always cute."

Kurt smiled and blushed. They boys wouldn't put a label on their relationship but they sure did like flirting.

"So who will all be here for Thanksgiving," Kurt asked.

"Well most of my family leaves out of state. Since we are staying in Ohio I think it is just going to be us and my parents. I'm not sure if my brother will be joining us."

"Hold up, you have a brother?"

"Yeah, his name is Cooper and he lives in California."

"I can't wait to meet him. How come you never mentioned him before?"

"We haven't had the best relationship but it's improving."

"So, what other secrets have you been hiding."

"I may or may not have an impressive bowtie collection."

The boys laughed.

"What about you Kurt? You got any other secrets you are keeping from me," Blaine joked.

Kurt froze. Should he tell Blaine the truth? It seemed like Blaine could be trusted. But what if there are other consequences. Kurt's inner thoughts were interrupted by footsteps stepping out on the patio.

"Hello boys," a voice said.

Kurt turned and saw a man a little taller than Blaine dressed in a suit and tie. Blaine slowly moved away form Kurt.

"Dad, this is my friend Kurt."

Kurt offered his hand and shook Mr. Anderson's.

"Hello Mr. Anderson."

"Please call me Jim. So, you and Blaine are just friends?"

Blaine rolled his eyes.

"Yes, dad."

"Alright, I will be in my office. See you two boys at dinner."

Kurt waited until Jim Anderson walked back into the house before talking.

"Well, he seems uptight."

"That would be an understatement. At least he can actually look and talk to me again."

"I'm sure things will continue to improve," Kurt said trying to confront his friend.

Blaine tried to smile but was not successful. Kurt tried to cheer him up.

"What do you say we watch a movie or something before dinner?"

Blaine genuinely smiled.

"Sounds good."


Blaine was trying to pay attention to the television. Really, he was. But, it was hard to focus on the Julie Andrews singing in the Sound of Music when Kurt was sitting next to him. Shortly after the movie started Kurt moved closer to Blaine. The boys had started out on the two ends of the couch but now they were both in the middle. Kurt then cuddled up to Blaine's chest.

"Is this okay," Blaine asked not wanting Kurt to feel uncomfortable.

"Perfect."

Since then Blaine couldn't follow the movie. Every little move Kurt made reminded Blaine that this extremely attractive boy was practically in his lap.

'Calm down,' Blaine told himself.

Blaine tried to get his attention back on the movie and he was successful—for a few seconds before Kurt started playing footsie.

'God, why didn't I kiss him when I had the chance,' Blaine thought as he pictured all the activities he would rather be doing with Kurt on this couch. Blaine started to move his arm around Kurt's waist. Before Kurt could say something Blaine's dad walked in.

"Boys, dinner will be ready soon."

Blaine and Kurt jumped apart. Kurt turned bright red before excusing himself. Blaine could feel his fathers glare as he stood and tried to quickly exit the room. Unfortunately, Blaine's dad grabbed his arm.

"I thought you said the two of you were just friends."

"We are."

"I just found you cuddled up to that boy on the couch. Friends do not act like that."

"It's complicated."

"What are you, friends with benefits or something?"

"No."

"Is he just some slutty boy toy-"

"Don't talk about him like that. You will be respectful to him."

"Why couldn't you have just brought home a girl."

"Because I am gay."

"Well, he is kind of a girl."

Blaine couldn't stop himself from throwing a punch at his dad. Jim Anderson easily blocked it but was shocked at how protective Blaine was of this boy. Blaine pulled his fist away and left the room.


Dinner went better then expected. Kurt got a long great with Blaine's mom. Blaine made sure to keeps on his for the entire dinner. His dad didn't say much but kept looking at Kurt. At the beginning of dessert he could no longer hold his tongue.

"So why didn't you go home fro break?"

"Jim," Kate scolded her husband.

"It's fine," Kurt said, "I just decided to stay."

"His family lives overseas," Blaine said.

"Where," Jim asked.

"Um," Kurt stalled.

"It's just that the longer I look at you the more familiar you look. Have you been at Dalton long?"

"No."

"Okay, interrogation over," Blaine said taking a bite of pie.

"Oh Kurt," Kate said changing the subject, "Blaine's brother is visiting this week. You two should get along great."

"Cooper, for sure, is coming home?"

"Yes Blaine, he should be here Tuesday night or Wednesday morning."

"Great," Blaine mumbled.


Over the weekend the boys spent their time getting to know each other better and flirting, a lot of flirting. They also watched movies, did some shopping met up with David and Santana. Tuesday Cooper called and said he would be in Ohio sometime the next morning. That night Blaine and Kurt were laying down on Blaine's bed listening to music and relaxing.

"What do you think we should sing at Regionals," Blaine asked.

"I don't care. Whatever will help the Warblers win."

Blaine stared tracing patterns on Kurt's hand with his finger.

"I've never met anyone like you Kurt."

"Oh please."

"I'm serious. You are so confidant and open and out."

"Santana is all those things too."

"But I don't see her on a daily basis and if I did it would mainly just be at work not like at school everyday."

"Well, I have never met someone with as big of a heart and is so selfless as you."

Blaine smiled.

"I'm sorry about my dad being a little intense."

"Don't worry about it. He has slightly loosened up."

"That's about as good as it gets."

"Blaine, I have a serious question to ask you."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then ask away."

"Let's say that I really wanted to tell you something but I was scared of how you were going to react. I didn't want to lose you because of it."

"You can tell me anything Kurt."

"Even if you couldn't tell a single soul. Not you parents, or Cooper or Santana or anyone at Dalton including the Warblers."

"I can keep a secret if that's what you are asking. You didn't murder anyone did you?"

Kurt shook his head.

'Okay Kurt, just tell him. He is different then anyone else. You can trust him.'

"Well, then I need you to listen."

Blaine smiled.

"I'm all ears."

"Okay, well, the truth is that I'm-"

*Ring* *Ring*

Kurt groaned as his phone went off. He looked and saw Rachel's name.

'I hate you right now,' Kurt thought.

"You should pick it up, it might be important," Blaine said, "I can wait."

Kurt sent an apologetic look Blaine way as he said hello.

"Kurt, thank God you picked up."

"Rach, you have really horrible timing."

"Are you with Blaine? Were you making out? OH MY GOD, WERE YOU HAVING SEX?"

"No need to shout and no we were just talking about something important. I take it you need something."

"More like someone to rant to. But, I can call back if you want."

Kurt wanted to tell her to call later but she sounded very distressed and upset and he would feel guilty to just hang up on her. In all honesty she didn't have that many close friends. Kurt looked over at Blaine and saw him getting off the bed.

"From what you have said I think you could use some privacy," Blaine said, "I'm going down to see if my mom knows what time Coopers flight comes in at."

As Blaine walked down the stairs Kurt resumed his conversation.

"Okay, Rachel Berry what do you want."

"I didn't mean to put you in a bad mood."

Kurt sighed.

"I'm not mad. What's up?"

"Well, you will never guess who I ran into today."

"I know Sebastian went back home."

"Yes, and he was just a ball of sunshine."

"I'm sorry if he insulted you. I tried to talk to him, I really did but no one can control that boy."

"Honestly, he wasn't quite his insulting self. At least he didn't call me a peasant, just a commoner."

"I'm not with him anymore, I can't tell him what to do."

"I know, you are with your Dalton cutie."

"We aren't boyfriends."

"Yet."

"You are impossible sometimes. You said you needed to rant, if Sebastian attempted to be someone not horrible, what's wrong."

"Oh, well, one he is still as arrogant as ever, acting like he owns everyone. Like he can demand people to do things for him. Well, I am not one of those people. Even if he has something on me I am not sinking to his low life-"

"Wait, he has something on you? Like what, the worst thing you have ever done is wear those reindeer sweaters."

"It's not that bad."

"You're wearing one now."

"Maybe."

"Never mind, what does he have on you?"

"He knows that I was with Puck during one of the breaks Finn and I were on. I don't even know how he found out."

"I never told him that. When you told me I promised to keep your secret."

"I know, I wasn't accusing you."

"What does he want you to do?"

"That is not the important part. The important part is that he is threatening to tell Finn."

"You haven't yet? Rachel, this is huge."

"I know and I have tried but I don't know how to say 'Finn, I love you but just so you know I may have had a fling with your best friend when we were broken up one time.'"

"That's not the easiest sentence but you have to tell him or your relationship is a lie."

"I know, I am going to tell him. I just needed you to remind me of that. But what about Blaine and your big secret?"

"Well, I almost told him until someone called me."

"I'm so sorry. Sebastian is right I am clingy and needy."

"No you are not. You have listened to me cry and rant about boys many times before. I am happy to be your shoulder to cry and rant on to."

"You the best Kurt. You are ready to be King."

"I wouldn't say that."

"I would and when you are home in December it is going to be so much fun-"

"What did you say?"

"Wait-oh-nothing."

"I'm not coming home until May. The coronation is this summer," Kurt whispered, "Why did you say I'm coming home in less than a month."

"I-umm-I don't know. I just think you should talk to your dad sometime soonish."

"What are you not telling me? Rachel, what the hell is going on."

"I said, call you dad."

"No, because apparently him, Finn, Carole and you have all been lying to me. Now, tell me what is going on."

"Your dad was going to call you when you got back to school."

"And tell me what?"

"He's officially stepping down in early December and wants you crowned before Christmas. He already called Dalton. You are taking all your exams early and will be home by the first weekend in December."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know. That's all Finn told me."

"I have to go."

"Kurt wait-"

Kurt had already hung up. He was going back to Denmark in less than a month. For the first time in his life he didn't want to go back home, at least not for good. For the first time Kurt didn't want to be king.


Kurt dried his eyes before heading downstairs. He saw Blaine and his parents discussing Thanksgiving dinner.

"We have turkey and stuffing and I will be making green bean casserole for Jim and Cooper and there will be cranberries for-," Kate stopped talking when Kurt entered the kitchen.

"Kurt, you are here just in time. For dessert would you like a pecan pie, pumpkin pie or something else? I can make just about every pie there is."

"I'm not really picky when it comes to dessert."

"Very good. I am just making the final corrections to my shopping list."

"Did you hear from Cooper?"

"Yes, his plane will be in around ten thirty. We were going to take him out to eat after he came in. Would you like to join us?"

"I don't want to intrude."

"Never," Kate said.

"Sure," Kurt said with a fake smile.

"Wonderful. Blaine said you got a phone call. Was it someone from home?"

"My best friend Rachel."

"That's so nice. Will you hear from your parents soon?"

"I should. If not I will call my dad Thursday."

"It is so nice to talk to family on Thanksgiving."

"Mom, other countries don't celebrate Thanksgiving like us."

"Well Blaine, you don't need a special holiday to be thankful for friends and family and all the other good things in your life."

"Well, I am going to head to bed," Jim said, "Long day at work."

After Mr. Anderson excused himself Kurt said he feeling tired as well.

"Hey, Kurt," Blaine said following Kurt up the stairs, "What about our conversation?"

"I think it can wait."

"Okay, are you sure? Do you need to talk about anything else?"

Kurt just shook his head.

"Well, you know where I am if you need to."

Kurt said goodnight before heading to bed. Kurt tossed and turned all night. He had no idea what to do. Was it worth telling Blaine the truth if in a few weeks it wouldn't matter? Was it worth entering a relationship that Kurt finally had to admit would never work out?


Part one is done. Part two will be up shortly. I know this chapter brought up a lot of questions but part two should answer them. I hope it was not to confusing.

Please, please review =)

Next Chapter: Thanksgiving part two, let the drama continue!
