Kurt got really used Blaine being around all the time. It was easy, when they spent so much time together: Blaine picked Kurt up in the mornings and drove them to the coffee shop. After that they spent most of the day working, which wasn’t the easiest part of the day, since Burt started to give them tasks that kept them apart. After work they usually ended up at Hummel-Hudson’s residence, if they didn’t have plans for a movie and a dinner at Breadstix. Kurt learned to enjoy Blaine’s kisses and hand holding. So it was the middle of August, when he decided, that now was the time, when he felt completely fine with telling Blaine a little more about the things, they never talked about. Maybe he wouldn’t tell everything in one conversation. Kurt wasn’t sure anyway, which events were important enough to talk about.
It was a quiet Sunday evening and since Blaine’s parents were out of town for the weekend, they used his house to enjoy the silence and privacy they had for each other. Kurt was a little nervous of an idea of two of them being alone in Blaine’s house again, although he had enjoyed the last time. They did end up close, but just cuddling in the living room’s sofa. They planned to watch some tv, but nether of them didn’t have any idea, what was on, because they only had eyes for each other.
“Can I.. tell you something?” Kurt said quietly into the silence. Blaine startled lightly, probably just didn’t expect to hear Kurt’s voice. “It’s about.. the things we agreed not to talk about.”
“Kurt..” Blaine swallowed, but Kurt didn’t even let him start.
“I know, that you said, that you don’t want me to tell you anything, that I’m not comfortable with, but the truth is, I AM comfortable about this and I do want to talk about it, so I could just get it out, forget it and move on. And I believe that you have a right to know more about me.”
Blaine’s magically golden eyes looked into Kurt’s, like he was trying to find out, if Kurt really meant his words.
“Okay,” Blaine nodded then and Kurt tried to move even closer to him, almost sitting on Blaine’s lap and gently brushed his own hand over boy’s neck.
“So I thought I should tell you more about me and Finn..” Kurt started and felt Blaine’s sudden gaze on him. “Do you remember that Monday morning, when you heard me and Mercedes talking about you in the coffee line?”
Blaine nodded again. “Something about you had a crush on him?”
Kurt laughed lightly, feeling embarrassed. He didn’t like admitting that.
“Yeah,” Kurt groaned as he put his chin on Blaine’s shoulder. “It was in our.. sophomore year, before our parents started dating. I got pushed around back then a lot and he was like.. the first one, who actually kind of.. tried to stop it I guess? Like he hung around with the jocks and after another push he asked one of the guys to back off, but that was it.”
“What a gentleman,” Blaine puffed and Kurt hid his face onto Blaine’s shoulder. It was the first time, they actually were so close. Sure, they’ve hugged before, but not so comfortably. “Sorry,” Blaine said then, when Kurt didn’t continue for long time.
“It’s fine, you can laugh,” Kurt muffled. “That’s the funny part anyway.” With that, Blaine shut up completely.
“Ironically, I was the one who set up our parents at the school’s parents meeting. I wanted to get closer to him, which was actually a ridiculous move. Things got a little more serious, when our parents wanted to move in. I guess I got too close to him and he freaked out. We had to share a room and after I had designed it with stuff, that.. were more about me than about him, he like exploded and yelled at me and called me fag.”
Blaine looked at Kurt’s face with a sorry, but Kurt just shrugged.
“My dad heard that and so he ended it and we made up later, but things always remained.. heavy and difficult. I mean we where supposed to brothers now, but how was that possible, after he had called me a fag? I got over the crush with a broken heart. It was a painful lesson learnt.”
“You know, that he shouldn’t have yelled at you? It’s not your fault..” Blaine interrupted suddenly. Kurt felt his heart melting of Blaine’s caring.
“Yeah I know, but it’s not like it’s completely his fault nether. I had some problems with respecting his personal space you know.. But anyway, when our parents got married in November, we improved again. Things with Karofsky were really bad then, it was just after the kiss and the death treat, so Finn put up this long and really sweet speech at the wedding, of how amazing I am and how he will protect me for now on and god, we even danced, which was actually a little weird considering the past.. So I guess we’re fine now. I mean, we still disagree on pretty much everything, but we are just as fine, as we can be.”
Blaine smiled at that and nuzzled his face into Kurt’s hair. He could do that now, when Kurt head was still on his shoulder. They stayed like that for a long time, saying nothing. Kurt was finished with talking and Blaine probably didn’t find anything reasonable to say, still trying to understood everything he had just heard.
It was then, when they both heard the car pulling in the driveway. They both froze, unable to move, eyes suddenly wide open with fear.
“Shit,” Blaine mumbled and tried to find his phone from his pocket to look at the time. Kurt straightened himself up and looked at the direction of the hallway. “I had no idea, that it’s so late already.”
“Your parents?” Kurt asked with a shaky voice, looking at Blaine, although he already knew the answer. Blaine nodded.
“Okay, Kurt, I don’t think you have a choice,” Blaine said then with a rushed tone. “But don’t worry, they know that we’re dating and they already like you from the things I’ve told them about you..”
Kurt felt unsure, suddenly really nervous and wishing, he didn’t have to face it.
“And I know, I said that they weren’t really accepting at first, but they are fine now, so please, don’t try to freak out.”
Right, Kurt thought. You had to remind me THAT. But Kurt just nodded and they stood up as they heard someone walking in. Kurt wasn’t sure, if he could stand normally and seemed like, Blaine understood that. He put his arm around Kurt and they slowly started walking toward the hallway.
“Oh, hi honey,” Ms. Anderson said, as she noticed them. It took a moment before she realized that Blaine wasn’t alone. Then she froze as she smiled.
Blaine waited for his father to walk in, before he tried to say anything. Kurt could feel Blaine’s breath, ready to open his mouth, but his mother cut him off.
“You must be Kurt,” she said and stepped closer to take Kurt’s hand in hers. “It’s great to finally meet you.” Ms. Anderson stepped back and Mr. Anderson took her place.
“We’ve heard quite a lot about you,” Mr. Anderson said, glancing at his son. Kurt started to wonder, what exactly Blaine had told them.
“Nice to meet you too,” Kurt swallowed hardly, barely getting words out. He was surely less nervous now, but still not really calm.
“Would you like to stay for dinner?” Ms. Anderson said when the weird silence followed. “I don’t have any strength to cook it myself, but we will probably order pizza or something..”
“Uhm, no thank you,” Kurt answered, being a little surprised of an offer. “I should go home, my family is probably waiting.”
“Oh,” Ms. Anderson signed. “Maybe next time.”
“Yeah, maybe next time.”
“Well, we’ll leave you two then,” Mr. Anderson stated then and dragged his wife to kitchen, leaving Blaine and Kurt alone in the hallway.
“Are you sure you have to go?” Blaine whined and put his another arm around Kurt too, their foreheads touching. Kurt let his hands fall onto Blaine’s arms which felt weirdly nice.
“I’d love to stay, but my dad is probably worried for now anyway.”
Blaine groaned. “I thought that the social life thing was what he wanted.”
“It is, but I don’t think that spending the whole day with my boyfriend in an empty house is what he actually meant.”
Blaine laughed. “Well, there was nothing he should have been worried about this time, isn’t there?”
Kurt stared at Blaine, suddenly feeling surprised and awkward. He hoped that they would never bring up, what happened the last time they were there.
“Sorry,” Blaine signed then. “I’m a jerk who knows nothing about boundaries.”
Kurt laughed then too, feeling the awkwardness of this situation fading.
“You’re not a jerk,” he said. “And to be honest, I know nothing about boundaries too, because we haven’t really set ones.”
Blaine stroked gently Kurt’s chin with his right hand. Kurt really started to like those sweet moments, because that made him feel.. wanted and maybe even.. loved? These moments were the reason, why felt so comfortable around Blaine: these moments weren’t too much, but enough for intimacy. And Blaine didn’t hold back with those.
“I’ll text you before bed,” Blaine uttered quietly and closed the gap between their lips.
“See you in the morning,” Kurt mumbled as he broke away and let go his hands that he has been holding the whole time.
“Kurt,” Blaine stopped Kurt from stepping outside. “Thank you for telling me about.. you and Finn.”
Kurt smiled. “Thank you for listening.”
