Why Should I Trust You

Kurt looked at the clock and let out a sigh that made Blaine pick his head up off Kurt's chest and look at him. They had made it through some of Green Fried Tomatoes and now it was time for dinner, which meant no more cuddle time with Blaine until they were back at Dalton tonight. "It's time to go eat..." Kurt told Blaine and let out another long sigh. "We can finish the movie tonight before bed..."

Blaine dropped his head back down onto Kurt's chest and then too let out a sigh. It wasn't that he wasn't hungry, because he was, but he just really wished they could eat alone. He knew that overtime he would start to feel more comfortable around Kurt's family but right now he preferred just being around Kurt. He let out a groan when Kurt moved his arms to they weren't wrapped around him anymore. Blaine took that as the cue to get up now. He sat up on the side of the bed and rubbed his hand across his forehead.

"Do you still have a headache?" Kurt asked when he sat up beside Blaine on the edge of the bed.

"A little but I'm okay..." Blaine smiled at Kurt. "Let's go get food..." Blaine stood up and headed towards the door.

"You go ahead down, I have to use the bathroom." Kurt kissed Blaine on the lips then turned and headed into the bathroom.

Blaine let out a sigh as he watched Kurt disappear behind the bathroom door. He debated if he should stay there and wait for Kurt and they could go down together or if he should go down like Kurt said too. He decided he would head down the stairs and hopefully Carole was still alone in the kitchen and he could help her set the table and get everything ready. He was about halfway down the stairs when he heard Burt's voice slightly raised as he was talking to someone.

"I can't believe you stole Lucy's key and our address. See I just talked to her and she said she didn't tell you where we lived and didn't give you our key. So why did you take it?" Burt growled out the last of the sentence.

"Because I needed a place to crash and she mentioned you weren't always home..." Evan's speech was slurred when he responded.

Blaine was amazed Evan managed to get the sentence out without messing it up. Blaine's dad couldn't even move when he was as drunk as Evan was. Blaine liked it when his dad was three sheets to the wind, he usually ignored Blaine. It's when his dad only had a few drinks in him that Blaine didn't like being around him. Blaine was just about ready to walk the rest of the way down the stairs when Burt started talking again.

"I thought you were going to get sober?"

Blaine didn't know if it was really a question or just a statement.

"I tried it, its not for me!" Evan let out a laugh. "Oh come on Burt your going to keep holding that against me..."

Blaine jumped when he heard footsteps on the stairs behind him. Kurt was now standing behind Blaine on the stairs.

"Why should I forgive you for what happened, when obviously you haven't changed..." Burt grumbled.

Everything was quiet for a few minutes, then Evan came into the hallway. When he noticed Blaine and Kurt he smiled at them. Kurt couldn't help the frown that came on his face. It was like it was automatic when Evan smiled at them.

"Hey boys..." Evan mumbled at them. "You sure are a good looking kid..."

Evan was looking at Blaine but Kurt could tell his eyes weren't focusing. Kurt couldn't help but think if Evan thought Blaine was good looking through his boozed fill fogged eyes, then he couldn't imagine what Evan would think if he saw Blaine when he was completely sober. Kurt shook his head.

Burt came into the hallway just as Kurt stepped in front of Blaine blocking him from Evan's view. "Okay I think you need to go sleep it off..." Burt put a hand on Evan's arm as he teetered backwards. Burt looked up at Kurt as Evan nodded in agreement. Burt led Evan back towards the living room and then returned a few minutes later. "Let's go eat boys..." He put his hand on Kurt's shoulder when he and Blaine came the rest of the way down the stairs. "I know you don't like the comments he's making about Blaine..."

Kurt couldn't help but give his dad his ‘well duh' look.

"But it's the alcohol talking..." Burt continued and gave Kurt's shoulder a squeeze.

Kurt sighed, he hoped his dad was right because he didn't need to worry about Evan and Jeremiah both. Blaine didn't need that. "What does he think you should forgive him about?" Kurt asked as they entered the kitchen.

"I tell you about it later..." Burt took his hat off and hug it on the back of the chair and sat down.

Blaine watched Burt as he sat down at the end of the table. He wanted to tell Kurt what he had heard from both Burt and Evan but didn't want to let Burt know he was listening for that long. Blaine walked over to where Carole was standing, stopping beside her.

Oh, Hi Sweetie. Want to take this to the table for me?" Carole handed Blaine the bowl of potato salad.

Blaine smiled at her and then brought the bowl of delicious looking salad to the table and sat it down near Burt. Blaine figured Burt was the first to get served just like his own dad was. Burt smiled at him and Blaine gave him a shy smile in return and then turned away quickly walking back over to where Carole and Kurt where standing by the stove. Carole handed Blaine the plate with the chicken on it and he brought that over to the table too.

"Kurt could you go get Finn?"

"Sure..." Kurt smiled at Blaine when he walked past him.

Blaine smiled back and watched him leave the kitchen. Blaine glanced down at Burt once he could no longer see Kurt, he was smiling at Blaine.

"So how's Kurt fitting in at Dalton?" Burt asked hoping that Blaine would talk to him.

"Everyone there seems to love him..." Blaine put his hands on the back of the chair and kept his eyes trained on his hands.

"That's good...Kurt tells me that you are the lead singer of the Warbler's, that's quite incredible!" Burt smiled when Blaine's eyes snapped in his direction. Blaine's eyes were practically smiling despite that he looked nervous still.

"Yeah I am...I got lead as a freshman, last year and that like never happens..." Blaine gave Burt another shy smile.

"So you're only a sophomore?" Burt thought he was older than that.

"Yes, Mr. Hummel, Sir...I'm fifteen..."

Burt smiled again. "No need for Mr. Hummel or Sir, it's Burt..."

Blaine pulled his bottom lip into his mouth and nodded.

"And you can call me Carole..." Carole smiled at Blaine as she sat the plates and utensils out onto the table.

Blaine nodded again and then looked towards the doorway; Kurt and Finn were coming in. Kurt smiled at Blaine and he returned the smile. "Where should I sit?" He asked Kurt when he stepped up beside him.

"Beside me right here..." Kurt pulled out the chair for Blaine.

Blaine smiled and sat down in the chair. Finn sat down across from Blaine next to Carole and Kurt sat down next to his dad. Once they were all seated Burt started to dig into the food. Blaine was right Burt did get served first. When Burt was done Finn started to dish food onto his own plate from the bowl Burt had just handed him. Blaine noticed that they didn't say grace yet and wondered if they even did. Even though his dad never went to church he always said grace when they were sitting down at the table together to eat. Blaine had never seen Kurt pray so he doubted anyone was going to say grave before they ate. That was okay with Blaine; he wasn't much for praying these days.

The dish of chicken was finally passed to Blaine and he put a piece on his plate and handed the dish to Kurt. Kurt smiled at him when their hands touched. Blaine glanced back towards Carole she was now holding the bowl of potato salad out towards him. Blaine gave a small smile and took the bowl from her.

"So Kurt how do you like being on the Warbler's?" Carole asked Kurt after he had dished up the potato salad onto his own plate.

"I like it...it's different than the New Directions, but a good different..." Kurt smiled at Blaine when he was done talking. He noticed Finn watching him. "I'm not going to tell you what we're singing..." Kurt said to Finn.

Finn shrugged his shoulders, "I'm just surprised Rachel hasn't tried to get your set list off you!" Finn took a bite of chicken then potato salad and then sat his fork down on the plate. He smiled at Blaine when he noticed him looking at him. "I mean it just seems like something she would do..."

"It does seem like something she would do..." Burt said with a slight chuckle. He had known her since she was six years old and became friends with Kurt. She was a very determined person; she and Kurt were a lot alike.

Kurt laughed, "Yes it does seem like Rachel would do that...but my lips are sealed, she isn't getting it out of me..."

"Just watch out she doesn't try to get it out of Blaine, she has her ways." Finn added before he started eating again.

"I didn't plan on letting Rachel manipulate Blaine, don't worry..." Kurt put a hand on Blaine's knee and squeezed.

Blaine smiled at Kurt. "I think I can handle Rachel Berry..." Blaine didn't know her that well yet but he was pretty sure he wouldn't let Rachel manipulate him. Kurt smiled at him and then squeezed his knee again.

They carried on conversations about random things the rest of dinner. When they were all done eating Carole and Kurt fixed them each a bowl of brownies topped with ice cream. Blaine had strawberry ice cream, which was one of his favorites. Finn had chocolate ice cream, Blaine thought that was too much chocolate in one dish. Kurt had vanilla bean that looked really good. Burt and both had plain vanilla.

They were about halfway done eating dessert when Blaine's cell phone started vibrating in his pocket making him jump. He reached into his pocket and removed his cell phone, glancing at the lit up screen. The caller ID said Dad. Blaine shook his head and hit the ignore button. Kurt gave him a questioning look, Blaine just shrugged and continued to eat. He wasn't sure what his dad wanted but he didn't want to find out right now. He might call him back once they were back at school but even then he wasn't really sure if he wanted to or not. His dad wouldn't like it but he really didn't care.

"Did you need to get that?" Burt asked motioning towards the phone sitting beside Blaine's hand on the table.

"Not right now, I'll call back later..." Blaine just hoped that his dad didn't keep calling because then he would have to answer it.

When they were done eating, Kurt and Finn loaded the dishwasher. Blaine glanced at the time, it was now past six-thirty, they would have to leave soon if they were going to get back to school before it got too late.

Kurt finished with the dishes and came over so he was standing behind Blaine's chair and put his hands on Blaine's shoulders. "Dad we have to get going..." Kurt told his dad who nodded. "Please if you let Evan stay here, don't let him sleep in my room!" Kurt did not want him in his bed.

"He's not staying here..." Burt had no intention of letting Evan stay. He would let him sober up some then send him on his way. "I'll send him back to your grandmother's..."

"Why didn't he just stay there to begin with?" Kurt didn't know why Evan thought he could just come to their house.

"Probably because your grandmother doesn't like his drinking and she doesn't have any alcohol in the house." Burt truly didn't know why Evan came over to their house but he didn't trust him regardless of the reasons.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Finn asked Burt as he sat down at the table again.

"I don't hate him; I just don't trust him..." Burt clarified.

"Okay why don't you trust him?" Kurt asked.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it some other time..." Burt didn't feel like discussing it with Evan in the house.

Kurt nodded; he knew that his dad didn't want to get into it with Evan in the house. "Okay we better get ready to leave..."

Blaine got up from the chair and smiled at Carole, who had been quietly putting away leftovers. "Dinner was delicious; thanks for letting me eat with you guys." Blaine gave a shy smile to Burt and Finn.

"Thank-you Sweetie, it was our pleasure and thank-you for helping me fix dinner..." Carole returned the smile, she wanted to hug Blaine but she wasn't sure if he would let her.

"You can come home with Kurt anytime you would like Blaine..." Burt told him.

Blaine nodded. "Thanks..."

"Maybe next time, I can talk you into playing video games with me..." Finn liked it when he had someone to play the Xbox 360 with. Kurt wasn't much for video games.

"That would be fun..." Blaine did miss playing video games.

"Come on Baby, let's go get packed up..." Kurt gave his dad a smile and then took Blaine's hand and led the way out of the kitchen and back up the stairs. When they were back in Kurt's room, Kurt pulled Blaine in for a kiss. "It seems like ages since I've done that..." Kurt admitted, even though it hadn't been all that long.

Blaine couldn't help but giggle. He too missed kissing Kurt and was glad they were alone again. "I missed kissing you too!"

Kurt smirked at Blaine, and then pulled him in for another kiss. He was glad he wasn't the only one. "Let's get ready, I hate driving in the rain..."

Blaine nodded and walked over to his bag and started putting his clothes in that had fallen out. "I got to do laundry when we get back..." Blaine chuckled.

"We should have done it today." Kurt laughed. He too needed to do laundry. He hadn't even thought of it earlier. Kurt shook his head and walked over to the closet where he had left the clothes he wanted to take with him. He snatched the clothes off the hook and then came over to the bed. Kurt folded the clothes and started putting them into the duffle bag.

"More fabulous outfits?" Blaine was watching Kurt put the clothes away and couldn't wait to see him in them. Kurt smiled at him and Blaine helped him gather up the rest of his things. "Do you want to bring Gilmore Girls seasons?" Blaine asked as he went to the DVD player get out the movie they needed to finish watching.

"Yes we need to work our way through the seasons..." Kurt was looking forward to cuddling up with Blaine and watching the episodes.

Blaine smiled at Kurt. He knew Kurt was looking forward to getting back to cuddling once they were alone back at the dorms. He grabbed the DVD's that they wanted to take with them and handed them to Kurt so he could pack them.

When they were done packing they made their way back down stairs. Kurt sat the bags down by the front door, Blaine doing the same and they headed towards the kitchen. Burt and Carole were still in the kitchen sitting at the table. Kurt was sure they were talking about their trip with Finn, who was sitting there munching on more brownies.

"Hey boys, would you like some brownies to take with you?" Carole asked as she slid the plate full of brownies away from Finn, who gave the moving plate a dirty look.

"If Finn can part with some..." Kurt smirked at Finn when the dirty look was aimed at in him.

"Finn will just have to learn to share..." Carole gave her son a pointed look. She got up from the table with plate in hand and started looking for something to put them in. "These shouldn't go to waste..." Carole smiled when she looked at Blaine.

Blaine had to return the smile. He did like the brownies and was sure that they wouldn't go to waste, not if the other Warbler's knew he and Kurt had them. Blaine smiled at Kurt when he felt him place his hand on Blaine's lower back.

"We really do need to get going Dad!" Kurt said and watched as his dad got up from the table and came towards him. Kurt hugged him. "I hope we can come home next weekend too!" Kurt told Burt once they released each other from the embrace.

"That would be great if you both can come back next weekend, we won't be away this time." Burt smiled at both the boys standing in front of him.

"I hope we can dad..." Kurt patted his dad on the arm and watched as Finn walked around the table towards him and Blaine. Kurt couldn't help but smile as Finn outstretched his arms towards him. Kurt shook his head and then fell into the hug that his step brother was offering. "It was good to see you too Finn..." Kurt released himself from Finn and then wrapped his arm around Blaine's waist. "We better go..."

Blaine nodded at Kurt. "It was really nice meeting all of you..." Blaine told Kurt's family, who all replied with big smiles on their faces.

Kurt and Blaine made their way to the front door. Burt was walking with them. They said one finally goodbye to Burt and then made their way out into the rain soaked driveway where Kurt's car was parked. They loaded their things into the back seat and then hopped in.

Blaine shook out his curls that were dripping water onto his cheeks and then ran a hand through them. He smiled when he noticed that Kurt was doing the same thing, but Kurt was checking himself in the mirror. "You look great!" Blaine told him and received a smile.

"Thank-you..." Kurt looked at his hair once more in the mirror and then buckled up and pulled the car out of the driveway and adjusted the speed of the windshield wipers, the rain was really coming down now. Kurt smiled again when Blaine started messing with the stereo, he was hooking up Kurt's I-pod so they could have commercial free music. "Oh, I really love this song..."

"Me too!" Blaine agreed with a smile and started singing along with the song.

They arrived at the school in good time despite driving slower than Kurt normally would have. By the time they parked in Kurt's spot the rain had let up some and this made Kurt happy. He really didn't like getting soaked. They made their way into the dorm building and up the stairs; there weren't many people in the hallways as they made their way to their floor.

When they rounded the last corner something caught Kurt's eye and made him stop in his tracks pulling Blaine to a halt beside him. There standing by his and Blaine's door was a male figure. At a distance Kurt couldn't make out who the person was so he approached slowly. When they got closer Kurt finally realized who it was at let out a sigh of relief. He felt Blaine relax beside him when the person spoke to them both.

"I thought you guys were never coming back..." Jeff stepped out of the shadows and closed the distance between them. "Oh brownies..." Jeff smiled at Blaine and took the plastic container full of brownies out of his hand.

"Jeff..." Blaine said in a scolding tone but then chuckled at his best friend.
