Kurt dug through the closest, he need to find the perfect outfit. It had to scream 'Look how hot I am' and 'I am taken, so don't touch' as well. Blaine sat on the bed watching his boyfriend in his element. "Blaine? Why are so many of your pants so short? I mean even, like, for you?"

Blaine blushed. He knew asking Kurt to help him pick out an outfit for his first day at McKinley would risk him seeing his entire wardrobe, but he wasn't ready to answer questions. "I, uh, try and make my legs look longer… DON"T LAUGH!"

It was too late, Kurt had collapsed against the closest in a fit of laughter. "Aw, Honey, I love you, but that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" He calmed down and looked at the paint's in his hand. "these will do. I hope I can trust you to stick to the outfit I picked."

Blaine nodded, still bright red from his confession. They heard a clearing of a throat and turned to see Anna in the doorway of Blaine's room. "Kurtsie! I start third grade tomorrow! I got to skip second cause I'm a genius! Or was it smart ass? That's what Katie says."

"Ugh, Katie has to stop swearing in front of you! You're like a sponge or something." Blaine had noticed the recent color added to his baby sister's vocabulary. He assumed it was from spending so much time around Katie and her boyfriend, who was a year older. He didn't like his sister having a boyfriend, she's only 14. He didn't even start dating until he was 17, and it was Kurt so it was worth the wait.

"I didn't learn anything from Katie, she yells at me too! I just like saying words like 'ass' and 'shit', it makes me feel grown up!" She said calmly playing with her curly hair. "Besides, I learned it from TV, duh!" With that she skipped out of the room.

"My seven year old sister is turning into a Real Housewife of New Jersey. Not sure if I like that…." Blaine joked. He didn't notice Kurt getting up and closing the door.

"Blaine we need to discuss tomorrow." Kurt shifted his weight nervously, "I don't really know how bad it's going to be with the football guys. I mean I know Karofsky's backing off, but that won't stop the rest of them. They didn't like it when one gay kid was walking around, who knows how they'll react to two." Kurt's eyes were watery as he spoke. He really was scared about going back. He had spent the majority of his junior year at Dalton, he was safe there. Yes he had the Glee kids and Finn and now Blaine, but he was still scared for his life.

"So you think we should cool it for the first couple days. Kurt, I didn't like having to do that with my father, I really don't want to have to hide my relationship from my peers. If anyone gives you shit, I'll take care of it. I can handle bullying, I can't handle pretending like I'm not madly in love with you." Now Blaine was teary. He understood Kurt's fear, he felt it too. The last time he attended public school, he was beaten within an inch of his life. That's why he ran to Dalton. He hid behind their brick buildings and the uniforms and gallons of hair gel. He was done hiding. He moved over to Kurt and pulled him into his arms. They stayed like that for a while before he heard Nana calling them down for dinner.

Kurt didn't get much sleep that night. Ever since they got back from New Orleans, he hasn't had to sleep alone. Some nights they were at Blaine's and sometimes at Kurt's, but they always together. But Blaine's sisters wanted to have a big family night before he went off to a new school. Blaine tried to talk Kurt in to staying by saying that he was family, but Kurt would have felt intrusive. So there he was lying in his own bed, alone, begging his body to let him sleep.

Before he knew it, his alarm was going off the next morning. He went through his morning routine, got ready, ate, then climbed in to the car with Finn. They met up with Blaine in the parking lot. He and Kurt joined hands. "Well, Anderson, you ready for this?"

Blaine smiled and started walking towards the front doors. "As long as I have you, I'm ready for anything."
