Author's Note: This chapter show Klaine on a train and Blaine will meet Kurt's dad right before the chapter ends and it may be kinda short. But it will be split into two chapters. That's really all I have to say for now. Chapter 18! Read review, and enjoy. Love yal!
We got on the train without too much trouble. I did almost get on the engine, but Kurt stopped me before I made too much of a fool out of myself. We put our stuff in the storage and climbed up into the dining car. "Do you want to just sit in here; it's nicer than the other seats?" Kurt asked. I nodded and slip the little booth on the farthest back wall and rested my head on the window. The car was empty except us. I reached across the table and held Kurt hand. "Are you scared Blaine? You don't need to be, trains are totally safe." Kurt assured. "I'm not afraid of trains believe me. I'm just afraid of what your family will do when they see me. Do they know we're, ya know, together?" I asked softly. "No they don't, but my family is going to get a kick out of you though. My dad is talk baseball with you, Carole will ask you all about your family and you can talk football with Finn. Then I will get to have you all to myself, to kiss whenever I want, to cuddle with when I make you watch trashy reality T.V. with me and when I put up with watching sports you, and most importantly to make sure you know how much you mean to me." Kurt said kissing the back of my hand. I'm smiled a little and yawned. Kurt slid into the seat next to me and I rested my head on his shoulder and fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Blaine, get up. We're here. Seriously B." Kurt said shaking me awake. "Were are we?" I mumbled pulling my baseball cap back on. "Were at the station we got to get off." Kurt said pulling me to my feet. We walked back down the stairs and grabbed our suite cases and my guitar case and walked into the station. I followed Kurt through the crowds of people and into the waiting area. "Kurt over here!" shouted a redheaded lady standing across the room. Kurt dropped his suit case and ran and gave her a hug. A man who I expected to be Kurt's dad pulled him into a tight hug. A tall boy picked up Kurt and quickly set him down when Kurt yelled at him. "Come over here Blaine!" Kurt shouted waving to me. I walked over and set my stuff down next to Kurt's and looked nervously at Kurt's family. "You must be Blaine, Kurt's told me all about you. I'm Carole, Kurt's step mom." said she said pulling me into a hug. "It's nice to meet you ma'am." I said politely. She let me go smiling widely. I turned and faced Kurt's dad. "It's nice to meet you, Burt Hummel." he said sticking out this hand. "B-b-blaine Anderson sir; it's nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand. "Nice handshake. Alright, let's get home we have a special dinner planed for you two." Burt said picking up Kurt's suit case. "Finn, get Blaine's suit case." Carole said. Finn started to grab my bag but I stopped him. "I've got it." I said reaching for it. "Naw dude its cool I got it." Finn said patting me on the back. I grabbed my guitar and followed the Hummels out to their car. Burt took my suit case and let me slide my guitar in. Kurt, Finn and I squeezed in across the bench seat in the back. I sat in between the two taller boys. I stared out the windshield looking around at the city. It was insane, the buildings were huge and there were more people on this one street than in my town.
It almost was about 3:30 before we pulled into a brown two story house in the suburbs just outside city. "Here we are boys." Burt said walking around the back and grabbing Kurt's bags. He let me get my stuff by myself this time and made Finn hold the door open for me. "You can just set you bags in the living room Blaine. We'll get it put up later. Go wash up and meet us in the dining room." Carole said walking into a room off to the left or the doorway. I followed Kurt down a small hallway. They were painted a tan color and the carpet was navy. There were picture of Kurt and Finn when they were little and ones of Finn and maybe his dad? Kurt and I washed our hands in a small bathroom and walked into the dining room. It was painted the same and had the same carpeting but there was a wooden table in the middle of the room that had pizza boxes sitting on it. Kurt sat down and I sat between Finn and Kurt. Burt passed out sliced of pizza and chatted with the others. I sat quietly saying grace to myself. "So Blaine, what do you like to do?" Burt asked. "I play baseball, football, ride horses, and I sing a little too sir." I said politely. "Nice, you and Finn can talk football. Now one question, Cubs or Cardinals?" he said laughed. "Um Cards sir." I nodded. "Get out of here!" Finn shouted. I opened my mouth to respond but no words came out. "The Cardinals are terrible dude." Finn laughed. "The Cubs haven't won a World Series in forever and the Cards had Mike Maroth. Cubs didn't." I said loosening up a bit. "Do not start on that guy B. You are obsessed." Kurt said rolling his eyes. "He's the reason I play baseball, I'm sorry I happen to have named my horse Maroth." I laughed. "Okay, okay everybody calm down. We can talk about Blaine's hideous obsession with the Cards later. Kurt why don't you show Blaine to his room so he can get settled? Come back down after and we'll get caught up. I started to grab my plate but Carole stopped me. "Don't worry about it sweetie you go get settled." She said taking the plate from my hands. I smiled and followed Kurt up the stairs with my stuff.
I followed him into a room a small room at the end of the hall. It was painted navy blue and had white carpeting. There was a nightstand and a small chest of drawers across the room. the bed was bare. There was a little door on the far side of the room and a love seat in the corner. "It's not much but it's cozy. There's a bathroom through that door and there are extra pillows and the hall closet." Kurt shrugged. I set my bags down by the couch and laughed. "It's perfect Kurt." I said hugging him. I flopped down on the bed. Kurt laid down next to me and rested his head on my stomach. "My dad seemed to get a kick out of you. So did Finn. Think you'll get along here just fine." he said pecking me on the cheek. "I hope so. I'm gonna unpack, you go catch up with your family you haven't seen them in forever." I sat up and gave Kurt a kiss before shutting the door behind him. I hung up my nicer shirts that Kurt picked out and stored my jeans in the drawer. I dug the bedding out from the closet shelf and dressed the bed. I pulled my guitar out of the case and put it on the stand in the corner. I pulled out my bible and picture of my grandpa and put them on the night stand. I put my glove and ball on the chest of drawers and slipped my inhaler in my pocket. I took a last look around the room and smiled, this was perfect.
"There you are B." Kurt said as I walked down the stairs. I waved a little and sat down next to Kurt on the couch. "So Blaine, tell me about your family." Kurt dad said turning off the TV. "Um, I have an older brother Cooper, my mom works at my school some times, and my dad is a preacher." I added that last part softly. "Very nice, Kurt been behaving down there?" he laughed. "Yes sir, he fits right in. He and my buddy Tyler hit it off. The first question me asked me was if we seriously rode the horses." I said laughing at the memory. "That sounds like my boy." Burt said patting Kurt's knee. Kurt rolled his eyes and stood up. "I'm going to bed, I need my beauty sleep." Kurt ruffled my hair and gave his dad a hug. "I think I'm going to get some to. Good night ma'am, sir." I waved. Burt smiled and Carole gave me a hug. When we go to the top of the stairs Kurt gave me a quick kiss and ran down the hall to his room. I turned back to my makeshift room and shut the door.
I slipped off my boots and socks and tossed them in the closet. I was about to shower when there was a knock on my door. I opened it to find Burt standing in the door was. "Yes sir?" I asked. "Let's talk for a minute Blaine." he said patting the space on the bed. I sat down and pulled off my ball cap. I watched him walk around the room looking at my pictures. Picked up one of them and laughed. I was maybe five and was missing my front teeth. It was a picture of Cooper and me in the church basement; I was standing on Coops shoulders hanging onto a pipe that was on the ceiling. "That your brother?" he laughed. "Yeah Cooper, he's at college up in Ohio." I nodded. "You said your dad was a preacher right?" he asked looking at the picture of me and Adi in front of the church. I nodded. "Do you believe in God Blaine?" he said looking at me seriously. "I do sir." I said fiddling with my cross necklace. "I imagine Kurt told you he is gay." Burt said sitting on the bed next to me. I nodded again. "I just want you to know that if you ever hurt my boy it will be the last thing you do." Burt threatened. "Sir your son is one of the most amazing men I have ever met. He has taught me so much in the past few months than I have ever learned in any class I have ever taken. I promise I'm never gonna hurt your son. I may be a Christian but I'm not a homophobe. I'm not going to try to change him sir. I'm not one of those 'gays are going to Hell people'. I think God loves everybody no matter who they are or who they love. Your son has made a huge impact on my life sir; he has become a huge part of who I am." I assured. Burt stared at me for a second. I gulped and squeezed my necklace. "Thank you Blaine thank you." Burt said pulling me into a hug. I hugged back awkwardly. "You're welcome sir. But what did I do?" I questions. "For being a man Blaine; you accepted Kurt. You made him feel welcome. You didn't force anything on him; you treated him like a real friend. He was in a dark place a few years ago and the friends he had didn't help him. To be honest, I haven't seen him smile like that in years. Kurt is my son and I love him and I'm so thankful he has you." Burt said resting his hand on my knee. "Don't thank me sir." I smiled. Burt didn't know how much his son had actually changed my life. "Fine just don't be talkin' about those damn Cards anymore, that's a cuss word in this house." he said patting me on the back and standing up. "I can't promise that sir." I laughed. "Hey, I know you're a southern gentleman or whatever, but enough with the sir and Mr. Hummel thing." he smirked. "Yes, si- Burt." I grinned. "Good night Blaine." Burt said. "G'night." I said watching him shut the door.
I picked my cap up off the bed and set it next to the picture of me and my dad. It was the one of us from my communion. I was 5 and we were sitting on steps in the front of the church. I my hair everywhere and my tie was crooked, but my dad looked so proud of me. He was in the same suit he still wore today. Tomorrow would be the first time in my whole life I wasn't at church on a Sunday. I showered and slipped on some shorts. I flicked off the lights, said my prayers, and got some well needed rest.
