"Blanket hog" Blaine muffled into Kurt's arm. Then rolling over a little to get more blankets on his cold shoulders. "I'm sorry, what did you say?" Kurt didn't know if he was sleeping still or awake.
"Kurt. You are a blanket hog!" Blaine said in a little morning voice.
"Oh, sorry about that, I like to feel like a Caterpillar when I sleep, next time I'll bring my own blanket" Kurt went to give more blanket to Blaine when Blaine moved closer to Kurt.
"W-w-what are you doing?" Kurt questioned nervously
"I'm cuddling you for warmth!" Blaine moved Kurt's arm over his shoulder to warm him up completely.
"Are you sure you just don't want a blanket? I'm already really hot, you can have this one"
"Kurtieeee stop talking. I'm still tired, can we get like a half hours more of sleep?"
"Why are you so tired?"
"No reason, just not enough sleep I guess"
Kurt didn't push the subject he just let Blaine lay on him until he was back asleep. Kurt didn't know was the reason Blaine was so tired is that he stayed up watching Kurt sleep for a little bit. Observing every little detail about him.
They both awoke an hour later to Rachel singing in the shower.
"Does she always do this?" Kurt questioned
"Every day...it's her 'stardom training' or something like that"
"Well then you can't be mad at her for that, shes a fabulous singer." Kurt said shyly.
"That she is....Come on! I smell the waffles being made downstairs!"
Before Kurt knew it he was being pulled down the flight of stairs and in a chair at the table in a heart beat.
"H-h-here you can sit next to me" Blaine was nervous all of a sudden.
"What about Rachel?"
"She sits at the top of the table. She likes to 'feel like the tip of the star'. But I just think she likes the attention" They both giggled at the true statement
Rachel came down the stairs, shocked to still see Kurt here.
"Did Kurt spend the night?" Rachel seemed confused
"Yeah, you didn't know that?" Blaine stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Blaine. If I knew that, would I have asked?" Rachel shot back
Kurt could feel a brother sister fight building.
"I think i should head home" Kurt said shakily.
"No stay! please!" Blaine almost begged.
"Yeah stay please Kurt, me and Blaine won't argue. We'll get along we promise."
"Okay, but can I call my dad and tell him I'm staying here long than planned?"
"Of course" Rachel said starring at Blaine. "The phone is upstairs across from Blaine's room" Rachel told him.
Kurt ran off upstairs to quickly call his dad. When he her squeals coming from down stairs, he ignored it to call him dad.
"Blaine! You can't be friends with Kurt! he's my best friend!"
"Thats no fair!! Kurt's MY special friend!"
"He was MY friend first!!"
"Why can't he just be both of our friends?! This is no fair!"
"No that's not fair either, I'm going to get Daddy L and Daddy H."
"Fine"
At that moment Kurt came back downstairs startled by all the yelling going on.
"Guys, why are you yelling? I thought you guys weren't going to fight?"
"We're not fighting Kurt. We're just...uhh.. talking about who likes you more." Rachel said awkwardly.
Both dads walked in as if on queue.
"What's going on guys?" Daddy L asked.
"Nothing now" Rachel said almost under her breath, but loud enough for him to hear it.
"Come on Rachel, you didn't drag us in here for no reason at all. Do you want us to talk to you guys separately?" Daddy H suggested.
"That would be fantastic" Blaine said
"Who wants to go first?" Daddy H asked.
"I will!" Rachel said willingly.
"Let's go into the living room, you guys stay here" Both dad's said.
Kurt still stood there confused. Neither of them were saying anything. They just stood there for a few seconds in silence until Blaine spoke up. "Come on, this might be a while. Come sit at the table with me!" Before Kurt could respond he was in front of the table and Blaine was pulling his chair out for him.
"Why thank you kind sir" Kurt said jokingly
"Why you're welcome Kurtie" Blaine couldn't contain his huge smile showing after saying Kurt's nick name.
"Ah Shortie, you're so kind" Kurt couldn't help but smile either.
They just sat there and smiled at each other until Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and held it on top of the table. Kurt smiled at the kind gesture, but he had to ask Blaine why he was always holding his hand.
"Blaine..." Kurt's voice was getting high pitched. He tried clearing his throat and tried again "Blaine"
"Yes Kurtie?"
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Of Course! Anything! I love answering questions!"
"Okay well..umm..I was um..just wondering...Wh-why do you always hold my hand?"
"Well that's simple! It's because we're special friends, and people who are special hold hands!"
"Is there any other reason?"
"Well..um..I like seeing how when I hold it you always calm down a little bit. And you're hands a really soft. Yo-You don't mind me holding you hand do you?"
"No! It's fine! I like it. I like how our hands fit good together."
"Well they do don't they?"
"Yeah! Just look at them. The spaces in between my fingers fit yours perfectly!"
"They do! Kurtie, our hands fit perfectly together! Just like us!"
"Thats so true!"
A few silent moments fell until Blaine spoke up.
"Kurt?"
"Yes Blaine?"
"You're my best friend you know that right?"
"You're my best friend too Blaine"
"What about Rachel?"
"She's my best friend too!"
"So, you like both of us?"
"Yes! You're my Special Best Friend and Rachel's my Best Friend!"
"Okay"
"Why? What's wrong?" Kurt was getting worried.
"Nothings wrong" Blaine gave Kurt that silly grin. "I was just asking a question"
"Alright."
Blaine herd Rachel and his daddies approaching.
"Blaine, it's your turn" Daddy L said.
"Okay! Be right back" He whispered to Kurt.
Rachel sat in Blaine's spot without missing a beat
"Hi Kurt! How was your morning?"
"It was good. How was yours?"
"It was good. Can I ask you a question?
"Why is everyone asking my questions all of a sudden?" Kurt though to him self
"Sure go for it."
"Who do you like more?"
"Excuse me?"
"Do you like Blaine or me more?"
"WHY does it matter?"
"Because I need to know"
"Rachel, I like you and Blaine the same. You're both my BEST friends. Is that what this 'fight' is about?"
Rachel Stayed silent.
"It is isn't it?"
"Y-y-yes. I told Blaine you were my friend first, so he couldn't be your friend."
"Rachel that's not fair at all!"
"But you were MY friend first!"
"I can have 2 best friends and i can be both of your friends at the same time"
"But Blaine's a boy, so you'll be with him more than me"
Kurt frowned at the thought that Rachel could thing that.
"Rachel, Blaine is you brother. All three of us will always be together no matter what. I promise"
"You promise?"
"Pinkie Promise"
"Okay. I'll go call my daddies in here and tell them everything will be okay."
Rachel walked in to the living room and told them everything was okay. They all came back into the kitchen and ate breakfast together.
"What do you guy want to do today?" Rachel asked.
"How about a picnic?" Kurt suggested
"That sounds like fun!" Rachel squealed
"But where?" Blaine asked
"How about my backyard?" Kurt suggested
"Is that okay with you parents, Kurt? Daddy L and Daddy H asked.
"I'll go call them and ask. May I use the phone?
"of course."
Kurt ran up the stairs called his parents and was back downstairs in a matter of 2 minutes.
"You guys can come over in an hour. I have to go home and clean up and shower before I can have anyone over. Is that okay?"
"Sounds good" All four Anderberry's said at the same time
"See ya soon! Thank you!" Kurt said walking out the door
