A/N: I forgot to say, but two chapters ago we reached 165! That means 200 (Well, 198) to go! Wish us luck!

Blaine didn't like hanging around Kurt's house.

It was comfortable and calm and welcome – everything that reminded Blaine of the childhood he never had.

Carole was almost too cheerful, over-accommodating his needs.

"Do you want to stay over this weekend?" Kurt asked one Friday, and Blaine hesitated.

He had such a crap week – his parents had been extra ruthless in their tormenting him.

But Carole would be over-enthusiastic. He honestly couldn't decide which was worse.

"Uhmm…"

Kurt's eyebrows furrowed. "It's okay if you don't want to…I mean…

"No. I want to spend time with you." Blaine smiled, chasing Kurt's doubts away. "It's just…"

"Is Finn getting on your case again? I can send him to Puck's?"

"No…"

"Then what is it?"

Blaine sighed. "It's your parents." He admitted slowly. "They're…a bit…over-bearing."

Kurt blinked in confusion. "Blaine, they love you!"

He sighed. "I think that's the problem."

Putting an arm around his boyfriend, Kurt led him to the parking lot.

"You need to explain to me…because I honestly don't understand."

Blaine sighed. "Don't worry."

"No…I want to worry."

Kurt had his determined face on, and Blaine sighed, giving in.

"I don't…like the affection. It makes me…it makes me uncomfortable."

Kurt raised a non-judgemental eyebrow.

"What about from me?"

Blaine grinned. "I love you. It's a bit different."

Kurt shook his head, opening the car door. "How?"

Blaine grinned. "I love you. It's a bit different."

Kurt shook his head, opening the car door. "How?"

"Because my family is like..." He grimaced, sliding into the car. "And your family is ... different."

Kurt laughed affectionately.

"They are a little over the top when you compare them to your parents..."

Blaine laughed slightly, linking their fingers together.

"Can you see why I have a little bit of an issue with them?"

"Yeah... But they do love you. They see you as family."

Blaine started to speak but Kurt cut him off.

"Just because we're not biologically related doesn't mean we're not family. I love you, they love you... That's all that really matters. Isn't it?"
