It's been over a week since Blaine had spent the night at Kurt's and ever since that kiss at the train station Kurt has done nothing but wish for another one. Every time his phone would start to vibrate he jumped towards it just in case it was Blaine. Most of the time it was Rachel or Santana, but when Blaine did text Kurt; Kurt's face would light up and his stomach would fill with butterflies.

Thanksgiving was nearing and Kurt, Rachel, and Santana were all headed back to Lima, Ohio, to be with their families. Kurt didn't want to leave the city but knew that he only would get so much time with his dad and Carole and after Finn he had to go back. He packed all of his nicest clothes into one suitcase to take back to Ohio when his phone started ringing.

Kurt walked over to his phone on his bedside table to see that Blaine Anderson was calling him.

"Hello?" Kurt said into his phone.

"Hey, I was wondering do you have time to get coffee before your plane leaves today?" Blaine asked.

"Yes, but I still think you should come back to Ohio with us. I mean your family is there and we'll get to spend more time together." Kurt pleaded with Blaine. Kurt heard Blaine let out a big sigh into the phone. "What's wrong?"

It took several moments for Blaine to respond to Kurt. "It's just that…I want to spend more time with you Kurt, but my family. I told you they're not the 'come to hugs and kisses' type." Blaine explained.

"Well, you could stay with us, in Lima." Kurt suggested. At least two minutes had passed and neither of them had said anything. "It was just a suggestion, Blaine." Kurt chuckled. "I mean if I've learned anything in my life it's that you only get so much time with the people you love and you never know when they're going to leave you." Kurt explained.

"I know, Kurt. And I want a better relationship with my family, but how do I convince my dad of who I am?" Blaine asked sounding extremely discouraged.

"Blaine, you don't have to do anything you don't want to. I don't want to push you. Just know that if you do decide last minute to come home for Thanksgiving you are welcome at my house." Kurt said getting back to his packing.

Kurt knew that a smile was growing on Blaine's face even though they were miles apart. "I'm crazy about you."

Kurt's smile was growing too. "Does that mean you'll think about it?"

"I will think about it. So coffee?" Blaine changed the subject back to the reason he called. "I'll head over to Bushwick considering Manhattan is the opposite direction of the airport."

"Uh…yeah…I'll meet you at…" Kurt paused for a moment trying to think of a coffee place nearby to meet Blaine, "on second thought just come to my place and we can go out together." Kurt laughed.

"Sounds like a plan. See you in a little bit. Bye." Blaine said into the phone.

"Bye." Kurt said then hung up the phone and set it down on his bedside table where he picked it up from. He finished packing his suitcase and set it out with the girls' next to the door.

Rachel and Santana were sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch when Kurt came out into the living area.

"So you and lover boy are hooking up before we leave?" Santana asked before Kurt turned around from the door.

"What? No. We're getting coffee, Santana." Kurt snapped at her. Kurt walked and sat down next his friends. They sat in silence while they ate their last meal in New York for several days. All three of them were putting their dishes in the sink when they heard knocking at the door. Kurt turned around and headed for the door. When he opened it to Blaine standing and holding his suitcase. "What's that for?" Kurt asked. Blaine didn't have to say anything he just smiled that smile that Kurt loved so much. "Really?" Blaine nodded his head 'yes' and Kurt threw it arms around him hugging him as tight as he possibly could. "Wait, are you staying with your parents?"

Blaine hesitated before answering, "Can we talk about this while getting coffee?" He asked. Kurt nodded, grabbed his coat, and they both picked up their suitcases and left the loft.

Rachel and Santana stood in the loft in a state of shock not knowing what had just happened. "Does Hummel have a date for Thanksgiving?" Santana asked very confused.

"I think so." Rachel answered.

Kurt and Blaine were walking down the street in silence. A comfortable silence. With their suitcases in tow and their arms linked together. They stopped at the Dunkin' Donuts on Myrtle Avenue. They sat down at a table near the front window. "So you decided to go home?" Kurt asked after several minutes of just sitting and holding hands at the coffee shop.

"I thought about what you said after we got off the phone." Blaine started. "And realized how right you were. So I quickly packed a bag and grabbed the bus to Bushwick." Blaine smiled.

Kurt smiled back at him squeezing his hand tighter and tighter. "Well, I'm glad you're coming back with us. Do your parents know you're coming?" Kurt asked. Blaine looked out the window with sorrow in his eyes. "Sorry." Kurt said while sipping his coffee.

Blaine looked back at Kurt with a smile on his face. "There's no need to be sorry, Kurt. No, they don't. I was hoping that the invite to your house was still on the table?" Blaine's smile got larger and even more adorable. Kurt was positive that Blaine couldn't get any cuter than he was at that exact moment. Kurt smiled back and lightly nodded towards Blaine saying 'yes.' "Thank you. Now your parents?" Blaine got nervous asking about how Kurt's parents were going to react when he came home with a boy.

"Uh, we have extra rooms. We definitely won't be allowed in the same room because well…you know." Kurt said nervously. "But there will be room for you. I promise." He said looking down at his phone checking the time. "Crap, that train we have to catch leaves soon. We should get going." They both stood up from the table and headed for the door.

With their bags in hand and their hands holding each other the couple made their way to the train station to JFK. They walked together not letting go even when meeting people they both moved off to the side so they didn't have to let go of each other. "You are going to see your parents, right?" Kurt asked Blaine just before they walked into the train station.

Blaine stopped and for the first time in 20 minutes let go of Kurt. Kurt stopped and turned around. "You have to promise to come with me." Blaine said weakly.

Kurt walked up to Blaine so he was standing just inches in front of his boyfriend. "I promise." Kurt whispered. Kurt slipped his hand back into Blaine's and tugged him towards the doors.

They met up with the girls and got their tickets and got on the train. Rachel and Santana pulled Kurt aside to talk to him. "So he's staying with you?" Rachel asked.

"Yeah. He doesn't want to stay at his place but when I talked to him about not knowing when people will leave you and he decided he wanted to see his parents but not stay with them for the holiday." Kurt explained. Both of the girls looked like they were going to pass out right there on the train. "Okay, you two stand here with blank looks on your faces I'm going to sit next to Blaine." Kurt said then turned around to go sit down.

Rachel and Santana looked at each other and smiled. "He's learning. I can't believe he invited Blaine to stay at his house. And his parents don't know."

"We don't know that his parents don't know." Rachel said trying to calm Santana.

Kurt and Blaine sat on the train together and Kurt's hand landed on Blaine's upper thigh. After a few minutes Kurt pulled his phone out of his pocket. "I should tell my parents I'm bringing a guy home." Kurt laughed. As the phone rang in his ear Kurt got more nervous until he heard the sound of his step-mother's voice on the answering machines. He let out a giant sigh of relief and began to speak into the phone, "Hi, dad, Carole, I just wanted to let you know that I'm bringing home a friend for the week. He had nowhere else to go so I invited him to stay with us. I've known him since the beginning of October so we're pretty close. His name is Blaine Anderson and I think you guys will like him. I will see you when I get home later tonight. Love you. Bye." Kurt said before hanging up the phone. Blaine looked very confused. "Answering machine. I think I'll wait to tell them we're dating until we get there. So I can see their faces." Kurt smiled then kissed Blaine lightly on the lips.

Blaine snuggled down into Kurt for the rest of the train ride to the airport. Rachel and Santana couldn't help but moon over their friend snuggling with his boyfriend on a public train. They loved that Kurt was confident enough to sit like that now. Four years ago when they all first got to New York he never would have sat like that on a train.

Finally the plane touched down in Columbus, Ohio, and they say Burt and Carole Hummel standing waiting for all four of them. Kurt and Blaine stepped out of baggage claim laughing and holding hands. As soon as Carole got a short glimpse of Kurt and Blaine holding hands and her already huge smile got even bigger. After Santana, Rachel, Burt, and Carole all exchanged hugs and 'hello's Kurt and Blaine walked up. "And this must be Blaine?" Carole asked as Kurt and Blaine walked closer to her and Burt. Carole walked over to Kurt and whispered in his ear. "You forgot to mention that he was your boyfriend. You just said friend."

Burt looked shocked for a brief second then smiled and hugged his son. "Blaine, it's nice to meet you. I'm Burt, Kurt's dad." He said shaking Blaine's hand. "And this is my wife Carole." He said motioning to Carole. She came over and shook Blaine's hand.

"Blaine Anderson." He said while shaking Kurt's parents' hands. He looked at Kurt nervously and all Kurt offered back was a smile which made Blaine smile.

They all piled into the Hummels' vehicle and made the journey back to Lima. Almost two hours in a silent car Blaine was getting nervous. He kept looking at Kurt and Carole would look back at the two of them. Kurt had hold on Blaine's hand trying to calm him down, stroking his thumb on the back of Blaine's hand.

After two hours in the car everybody got out of the car and headed into the house. It only took Rachel's dads and Santana's parents a few minutes to show up and take their daughters home. "So Kurt, Blaine will be staying the room across from you. Why don't you give him the ten cents tour?" Burt told his son.

Kurt picked up his and Blaine's bags and headed upstairs. As they passed Kurt's room Blaine took a look inside to see how Kurt lived before New York. Then Blaine heard Kurt set down his suitcase in the guest bedroom. "This is your room. Make yourself at home. You saw my room just right there if you need anything." Kurt pointed across the hall. "Dad and Carole's room is at the end of the hall. There is a bathroom just next door." Kurt motioned while walking out of the room to set his own bag down in his room. "Um, do you want to settle in or the rest of the tour?" Kurt asked walking back into the room.

"Tour." Blaine stated.

Kurt took Blaine's hand and led him out of the room. "That room is another guest room but people don't normally stay in there. That…that was Finn's room." Kurt pointed towards another door. Blaine saw Kurt start to tear up and pulled him into a tight hug. Blaine held Kurt until he was able to walk and show Blaine the rest of the house. They both walked downstairs Kurt still holding on to Blaine's shoulders tightly not wanting to ever let go of him. He showed him the rest of the house before then they both went back upstairs to let Blaine settle in. Kurt sat on Blaine's temporary bed while Blaine put his clothes away. "So, what do you want to do tomorrow?"

Blaine hesitated before answering, "I want to go to Westerville to see my parents." He said turning toward Kurt with a look of fear on his face.

"I'll drive." Kurt said smiling. "And I'll be right by your side when you walk in the door." He said as he stood from the bed and walked over to Blaine putting his hands on Blaine's shoulders and rubbed them until Blaine smiled.

"Kurt! Blaine! Dinner!" They both heard Carole yell from downstairs. They both made their way down to the dining room and sat down opposite each other. After Burt and Carole sat down the awkward silence began. Burt ate his food and kept smiling and Kurt and Blaine as did Carole. "So, how did you two meet?" Carole finally asked.

"Um, we met in a karaoke bar, actually. We sang some old songs and really hit it off." Blaine explained.

"Blaine's an incredible singer. He's actually from Westerville here in Ohio. Our show choirs competed in high school and he never met." Kurt laughed.

Both of his parents laughed at the coincidence. "Wow, just a couple hours away and it took New York." Burt laughed.

"So, you're from Ohio. Where are you going to school? What are you studying?" Carole asked.

"New York University. Studying theater. I spent a couple years at Ohio State but decided that New York was a better choice. Kurt and I actually almost both ended up at NYADA but I blew my audition." Blaine laughed.

"He's thinking about re-auditioning though for the winter." Kurt interjected. "Right?"

"Exactly right." Blaine smiled back at Kurt. "Would have been crazy if we went to the same school."

"That's great. So Broadway like Kurt and Rachel?" Carole asked.

"That's the dream." Blaine laughed taking a quick sip of his water.

"What are you two planning for the week?" Burt asked putting more chicken in his mouth.

Blaine quickly looked at Kurt then down at his plate hoping to just avoid the question forever. "Tomorrow can we take the car to Westerville?" Kurt asked.

"Why?"

"Blaine wants to talk to his parents." Kurt told his dad.

"Okay. Go ahead just don't stay out all day and back before 11."

"Dad, I'm 22. Do I really need a curfew?" Kurt laughed.

"While you are staying here, yes." Burt laughed.

"We will." Kurt smiled at his dad.

After dinner Kurt and Blaine went upstairs to get some alone time. "Do you want to listen to some music?" Blaine asked.

Kurt nodded his head and Blaine went and turned on the radio.

I see trees of green, red roses, too,
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

As the song went on Kurt got up from the bed and reached out his hand to Blaine hoping that he would take it. Blaine looked at Kurt and smiled. He took Kurt's hand and they began to dance in the guest bedroom. Kurt's hands were linked around Blaine's neck and Blaine had his hands placed gently on Kurt's waste. They swayed to the music.

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, sayin', "How do you do?"
They're really sayin', "I love you."

"Blaine, are you sure that you can handle seeing your dad tomorrow?" Kurt asked picking his head up from Blaine's shoulder.

Blaine hesitated before lifting his head to see Kurt's eyes. "No, but if I don't I don't think I ever will. And what you said about never knowing how long people will be around I realized that I had to see him." Blaine said almost with tears in his eyes.

Kurt went back to hold Blaine as tightly as possible.

I hear babies cryin'. I watch them grow.
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

As the song ended the boys kept swaying in the middle of the floor.

The next morning Blaine and Kurt met in the hallway and went downstairs for breakfast and to head to Westerville. Kurt's phone started to vibrate from a text message.
