"Last day honey, get up." Kurt whispered. I tugged the blanket off my face and looked up at Kurt. We were lying in bed wrapped in each other's arms. "Do we have to?" I groaned. "Yes, you have to coach 11 year olds and that requires us to leave now and not get back in the middle of the night." He smiled.
I crawled out of bed and settled on shorts and a t-shirt. I left on my glasses and socks. I crammed my stuff into my bag and turned back to Kurt. "Happy?" I said lying on our couch. "Sure am." He laughed tossing a pillow in my direction.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in." I shouted. My mom walked in the room and smiled at us. "Morning boys." She smiled. "Are you almost ready? You're dads anxious to get going Blaine." She frowned.
"Yeah, just waitin' on Kurt." I smiled broadly. "See you down stairs soon Blainey." Mom said walking out and shutting the door behind her.
"I love your mom." Kurt said folding cloths. "I think we should tell her." I said surprising myself. Kurt turned around and frowned at me. "What changed your mind?" Kurt asked walking over to me.
"On the first night we were here after you left for the bathroom she came to say good night to me. She started tellin' me how much she loved me and that I could do anything I wanted. But she kept telling me over and over that she loved me no matter what. I hate lying to her Kurt." I sighed.
"It's up to you Blaine. That's your decision to make. I'm not going to push you one way or another. But I'm proud that you want to." Kurt smiled. "I really do. Not this second but soon." I said getting up. We grabbed our bags and headed down the stairs.
"Get up B." I could feel somebody poking the side of my face. "We're home Blaine." They said poking me harder. "Go away Coop." I mumbled. "Blaine, get your ass up. We're home." I sat up and looked around. It was dark out and just Cooper and I in the car.
He climbed out and walked into the house. I sighed and followed him. I walked up the stairs and fell right to sleep.
I shut off my alarm and stared at the ceiling. I felt scared, terrified. I slowly got dressed and walked down stairs. My mom and Kurt sat at the table.
"Morning." I said. I grabbed an apple and sat at the table. "Did you sleep okay Blainey? You look tired." She said rubbing my back. "I'm alright Ma." I said. I glanced at Kurt and he nodded at me. "I'm going to go get cleaned up." He said and quickly left the room.
"I need to talk to you Ma." I said. "Go ahead." She said washing dishes. "Could you come sit please?" I asked softly. She shut the water off and dried her hands. "What's the matter Blainers" She frowned sitting across from me.
"You love me right?" I sighed. "Of course I love you Blaine! Why would you ask that?" She exclaimed. "Just making sure. Ma I'm gonna tell you something. You may hate me for it or you may not. But either way it can't change who I am." I started. Mom nodded.
"I've always tried to do right by you and dad. I tried hard in school, sports, music, everything. I never got into any serious trouble. Done everything I could make you proud of me. But there's one thing that I've been afraid to say. Especially to you." I choked out.
"Blaine you never need to be scared to talk to me." She said.
"I'm gay ma." I said quickly. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
I stood up and walk out the back door.
This was all a mistake. I should have never said anything. I just make everything worse. I was "Blaine wait!" I heard her shout.
I stopped short and turned around. She was running after me. I could feel my breathing get uneven. "I could never hate you Blainey Bear." She said pulling me into a hug. I squeezed her tight and sobbed.
"Shhh. Shhh Blainey." She cooed rubbing my back. "Let's go sit." She said pulling back into the house. I sat on the couch with my knees pulled to my chest. My mom sat opposite me with her legs crossed on the couch.
"I'm sorry ma." I whispered. "Don't start that. You have nothing to be sorry for Blaine." She said. "But I kinda ruined every expectation you and dad had for me." I frowned.
"Blaine all I wanted for you was to be happy. No matter what that was." Ma said. "But I can't be a preacher now. That's dads plan for me." I sighed. "Why the hell not?" Mom spat.
My eyes shot open. "Most churches don't take to kindly gay people Ma." I explained. "Prove them wrong Blaine. Do what you want to do. Whatever that may be." Ma smiled.
"I have one more thing to say. Kurt and I are boyfriends." I said. "Oh I knew that." She laughed. She knew? How?
"What?" I sputtered. "I saw you two that day I was putting cloths away on your room. I could see you two walking in the field. Then I saw your pictures that were in your book. The ones of you two in the pick up." Mom smiled. "Why didn't you say anything?" I asked.
"I didn't want to force you to do anything Blaine. It needed to be your decision." She said. "Thank you so much Ma." I said pulling her into a hug. "I want a copy of that picture of you and Kurt." She said wiping a tear from my cheek.
"Deal. But Ma; can we not tell dad?" I whispered. "My lips are sealed Blainey." She nodded. I gave her one last hug then ran up the stairs into my room.
I leaned my head against the door and smiled. "Are you alright honey?" I jumped and opened my eyes. Kurt was sitting on my bed. I walked over and lay next to him.
"Yeah I'm okay." I nodded. "How'd it go?" He asked softly. "She wants a picture of us." I said with a goofy smile. Kurt pulled me into a tight hug and laughed. "I'm so proud of you honey." He sighed.
"She called me Blainey Bear. I can't tell you the last time I heard that name from her." I said. Kurt just nodded and placed a kiss on the corner of my mouth.
"How did you even get that name?" Kurt laughed.
"I had this stuffed bear that I carry everywhere with me, it was my best friend. Mr. Squiggle. I was convinced it could talk too, we would sing duets in the car. My dad hated that thing.
Then when I was 7 we went on this mission trip to Honduras. I'd play all day with this one little girl she was maybe a few years younger than me.
On our last day my dad came to get me and the girl refused to let go of the bear. My dad made me leave it behind. He told me she needed it more than I did and that it was about time to give up that bear.
I remember being so distraught over losing that bear that I cried all the way to the plane and part of the ride. That's why she always called me Blainey Bear. It was always Blainey and his bear." I laughed.
"Mr. Squiggle?" Kurt laughed. "I was three when I named him. It's not my fault." I frowned. "It's very cute Blainey." he said kissing the tip of my nose.
"Well I'm glad you find my tragic childhood experience so cute." I pouted. "Aw I'm sorry. It'll all be okay Blainey Bear." he mocked. "Well if you can get my bear back I'll love you forever." I smiled reaching up to kiss him. "You love me anyways." he said ruffling my hair. "I know." I laughed.
"Get up, get up, get up!" I said bouncing up and down on Kurt's bed. "Horses?" he groaned. "Yup then I have a surprise!" I shouted running back across the hall. I changed into work cloths and ran back to Kurt's room.
"Let's go babe!" I said flopping on his bed. "Why do you insist on being so energetic this early." he groaned changing his shirt.
"Will you at least tell me where we're going?" Kurt asked as we cleared the stalls. "Nope; but you'll love it." I assured. "There, I'm done.' Kurt said tossing the broom back in the closet. I tossed mine in too and we walked back to the house. We slipped off our shoes and walked into the kitchen.
"Hi Ma." I said carefully. "Hi boys. Do you want some breakfast? I can make eggs if you want them?" she asked smiling at us. "Um sure, but is it alright if Kurt and I go somewhere today?" I said grabbing the egg out of the fridge. "Depends on where you're going." She said. "I can't tell you unless Kurt leaves." I said glancing at him. He rolled his eyes and walked up the stairs.
"So why couldn't you tell me in front of Kurt? Planning something special." my mom said smiling slyly at me. "Maaaa." I groaned. "What, I'm just asking." She grinned. "I'm gonna take him up to the mall in Effingham and out to lunch. It's a bigger place so we won't be as obvious." I shrugged.
I could see my mom frown at how easily I took to having to drive an hour just to have a date with my boyfriend.
"Yes you can go. Just please be careful Blaine. I don't want anything to happen to you or Kurt." she sighed. "Mom we'll be fine. You don't need to worry. We'll be smart." I promised
"Am I allowed to come down now?" Kurt said from the stair well. "I suppose." I laughed. He was wearing khaki shorts and a white and blue check button down. Perfect.
"I'm gonna go change so we can head out." I said. As I walked past him I squeezed his hand and darted up the stairs.
I changed into my usual green polo and khaki shorts. I popped in my contacts and slipped my wallet, inhaler, and phone into my pocket and grabbed my ball cap and keys off my nightstand.
"I'm all set." I said bounding into the kitchen. My mom and Kurt were sitting at the kitchen table laughing. "Alright, bye Mrs. Anderson." Kurt said as we walked out the door.
We held hands on the way out to the truck. I walked over to Kurt side and opened the door for him. "Such a gentleman." Kurt smiled. I ran around to my side and jumped in.
I reached behind Kurt's seat and pulled out a bunch of flowers.
"Oh my gosh; Blaine their beautiful." he gasped. I handed him the flowers and gave him a peck on the cheek. "This is our first date and I wanna do it right." I smiled."Where did you get these?" Kurt asked turning them over in his hands.
"Down by the creek where we rode Maroth. They're nothing special; they grow there every year." I shrugged turning onto the highway. "They're perfect Blaine." Kurt said burying his nose in the flowers.
I laughed and squeezed his hand. "This is our first date Kurt.
"Now will you tell me where we're going?" Kurt pleaded. I just shook my head and tuned on the radio.
