Blaine knocked gently on the front door to the Hudson-Hummel home. It was a cold winter day during Kurt's break from NYADA and Blaine was so excited to be able to spend the night cuddled up with his fiancée. The heat in his car had stopped working and he couldn't seem to get an appointment with his mechanic, so he had to settle for shivering all the way there, and not being able to get warm.
The door opened and Carole poked her head outside. "Oh! Blaine! Come on inside," she said. "Kurt should be here in about 10 minutes, I just had him run to the store to pick up bread for the dinner tonight."
"Thanks, Carole," Blaine said. He could smell the dinner cooking. "It smells amazing."
"Thank you, sweetie. Take off your jacket, make yourself at home," she said.
"Actually, I'm going to warm up a bit. The heat in my car isn't working, so I've been sitting in the cold," he said.
"That's not good. Come sit down. Have some stew. It will warm you right up." Carole dished out a heaping bowl of beef stew and set it in front of Blaine. "We'll have Burt look at that heater for you, too."
"Wow, thanks Carole," Blaine said. He took a bite of the stew and almost instantly started to feel warmer.
The door swung open and Kurt stepped inside. "Hey, how come you get some of Carole's famous beef stew before me?" Kurt asked, leaning down to give Blaine a kiss.
Blaine explained the whole story to Kurt.
"Okay, I guess you deserve stew. Eat it in the living room. We'll watch TV," Kurt said.
Blaine picked up his bowl, thanked Carole, and sat down on the couch with Kurt. He was so glad to be warm and snuggled up with the person he loved most.
