A/N: I think I'm over my block. Not completely, but at least a little bit. It really annoyed me too, because I spent ages working on those fics that I haven't finished, and I wrote this in like...an hour, tops. Anyway, thanks for your reviews too...the system is still being weird..so I can't reply to them individually...I want to though.

Kurt swallowed nervously, butterflies chasing each other round his stomach. Blaine's reassuring hand on his thigh calmed him. But only slightly.
"It's going to be fine!" Blaine said for the fifth time that day, stroking his leg gently.
Kurt couldn't say anything, too afriad he'd choke.
"My parents are going to love you - you have nothing to worry about!"
From the second Blaine mentioned that Kurt should meet his parents, Kurt had been freaking out. He nodded slightly as Blaine pulled up to a scarily fancy place. Two black iron gates loomed up at them, fancy designs curling around the fence. Kurt was overwhelmed. It was gorgeous, and yet scarily foreboding.
"You live...here?" Kurt marvelled.
"No," Blaine muttered dryly, a smile hiding under his sarcasm. "This is the entrance to my secret bat-cave."
Kurt rolled his eyes, secretly grateful. The stupid humor was keeping his nerves at bay. Blaine drove up to the iron gates, pressing a button on a small grey speaker.
"Mom? Dad?"
There was some ugly sounding static before a voice came through the speaker. "Welcome home Blaine!"
The iron gates started to creak open, making Blaine laugh.
"Thanks Tom, and you really need to get these gates oiled!"
"It adds to the charm!" Came the reply, before Blaine started up the driveway.
Kurt glanced over. "Tom?"
Blaine nodded. "He looks after the dogs."
Kurt's eyes widened slightly, looking down worriedly at his outfit. Dog hair was not an appropriate accessory. Ever. Blaine just laughed at him.
"Don't worry, I told Tom to keep them out the back today."
Kurt sighed in relief, making Blaine chuckle. Okay, dogs were...cool...but only when Kurt was wearing an appropriate outfit - one that wouldn't attract the hair.
Blaine pulled up at the house, which seemed to be even bigger than it looked at the bottom of the driveway.
"Come on." Blaine said, getting out of the car. He was a little worried. There was no doubt that his parents wouldn't not love Kurt...but still...the amount of awkward conversations that could come up was daunting. He'd never done this before - not even with the few girlfriends he had in the past.
Kurt hung back, slowly following Blaine. He was getting shy. Noticing, Blaine held his hand out, and Kurt took it gratefully. They entered the house together.
Kurt was immediately hit with a familiar, comforting smell. Clean.
The inside was nothing like Kurt expected - it was open and inviting, not stoic and formal. It was a home. Blaine grinned at his reaction - the eyes widened, the mouth parted slightly. He shrugged off his jacket and helped Kurt with his, hanging them on a coat rack as two people walked into the room.
And then they weren't just people. They were Blaine's parents! Kurt was suddenly shy again, but he scrutinized them.
The first thing that Kurt noticed was the height. They were tall, in comparison to Blaine. Not Finn-tall, but taller than Kurt. His mother - the shorter of the couple - was stunning, with an elegant figure and a beautiful, clear-skinned face - much like Blaine's. Her hair fell in gorgeous waves of dark curls, hanging loosely over her shoulders. Apart from her superb fashion choices, Kurt was drawn in by her smile. It shone with radiance, capturing her whole face, seeping into her movements.
Blaine definitely got his jawline, and his eyes from his father. His father's hair was straight, cut relatively close with a few strands of fringe hanging over his hairline. Thick patches of stubble covered his chin and jawline attractively. He was wearing a suit as if he lived in it, but the man gave off a friendly vibe.
"Blaine!" his mother embraced him tightly in a proper mom-hug, not some elegant I'm-too-good-for-a-real-hug, like Kurt expected.
Blaine often talked about his parents, and he help them in such high esteem that Kurt had these wild expectations of strict, up-tight people. Blaine's parents were, so far, pretty cool!
Blaine was trapped in a one armed hug with his father, who was grinning. "Good to have you home, m'boy."
Blaine just grinned, stepping back to stand with Kurt. "Mom, dad...I'd like you to meet my boyfriend - Kurt Hummel."
At the word 'boyfriend', the woman practically launched herself at Kurt, wrapping him in a tight embrace. The butterflies were gone.
"We've heard countless stories about you, Kurt." she grinned. "Good ones, that is."
Kurt laughed. "And I've heard so many good things about you, Mrs. Anderson!"
"Oh honey, call me Alice." Honey. Kurt internally squealed.
"It's a pleasure to meet the boy who makes Blaine so happy." his father held out his hand. "You can call me Mark."
Kurt shook the hand, smiling widely. "It's a pleasure to meet you too. Your house is all kinds of amazing!"
"Oh thank you!" Alice gushed, genuinely pleased.
Kurt grinned. This was different to anything he could've ever expected.
Hell, it was better than anything he could've imagined.
Blaine grinned over at Kurt, who was grinning like a fool as Alice and Mark talked to him. He was so at ease, almost as if he was standing in his own home.
Kurt was happy, and Blaine mentally thanked his parents for being amazing.
A/N: If you haven't realized...these aren't my normal 'Blaine parents'. In my mind, I have two separate story lines for Blaine's past. One is with Mark and Alice - practically the perfect parents. Blaine had enough to deal with when he was growing up, and it was nice for him to come home to loving parents. On the other side of the tracks live Mathew and Amber - you met them in 'Moving On' (notice how they both have M and A names :]) and they are the horrible parents that Blaine grew up with - after a horrible day at school he came home to be bullied by Mat.
I will often alternate between these two story-lines, so if it gets confusing I apologize, but it depends on the situation. I will, however, be writing one of these 'Meet the parents' with Mat and Amber. It's one of the ones I started but didn't end up finishing XD
Edit: Something else I wanted to say - watching Prom Queen really pointed out the fact that I 'lovey-dovey' Klaine up a bit! Gosh. They're so...untouchy. But they were cute. And Funeral was amazingly done. Feel free to PM about rants/squeeage you have about anything...I love to listen and squee.
