Hey everyone. Im in the middle of studying for my exams or as they call it where I live, de blok, so I have little time right now. My pauzes are filled with writing the story further so thats why you only get one chapter today and a little late. Tomorrow Ill try to post 2 again! I hope you enjoy this one though. I wanted Blaine to meet the parents and the moving had to be done. I think the next chapter will be something no one expects and might put an edge on the story but nothing bad though. I want to hold the trust big and the love on display. I could never split these two. Let me know what you think about this chapter, good or bad. I like to see your reaction so I can change things or work on things you would like to read. Im also playing with the idea of a second fanfic but I want to focus on this one as I think it will be a pretty long fanfic. Lots of love.
Blaine placed the last box on the ground. It was Friday evening and he was tired. It had taken a lot of time to pack all Kurt's stuff. He couldn't believe how many clothes Kurt had. He knew their closet would be way to small right now. Kurt would probably fill another one in the guest rooms if he had his way. Not that Blaine really cared about that. “Kurt? Where are you?”
“I'm in our room!” Blaine smiled at how easily Kurt called it their room. This was definitely nice. Blaine ran up the stairs to see Kurt putting clothes next to his in the closet. He wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder.
“Your last box is standing downstairs. Can I help with unpacking?”
“No, I'll do alright. I even think I might be able to fit all my clothes in our closet.” Blaine raised an eyebrow because he just knew that must be impossible. Kurt looked at him and saw the raised eyebrow.
“You'll see if you don't believe me.” Blaine just shrugged an pressed a kiss on his shoulder. Blaine went to sit down on the bed with his guitar and started to play some tunes while Kurt was filling the closet. Every once in a while, Blaine went downstairs to get a new box.
Kurt was now busy with the last box and Blaine was looking with awe how he could get all the clothes into the closet. He just couldn't believe it.
Kurt hang up the last button down he had and turned around with a proud smile. “I told you!”
Blaine laughed and shook his head. “You're unbelievable. Come here, baby.”
Kurt walked towards the bed and sat on his lap. Blaine hugged him tight. Now his home was complete. Blaine's stomach made himself present. Blaine groaned in embarrassment. “Looks like someone is hunger.”
“What a way to kill the moment.”
“Hey, it's you who are hungry so technically it's you who ruined the moment.” Blaine looked at Kurt with a raised eyebrow and before Kurt knew it he was pinned down the bed. Blaine started to tickle him. One of the things he had found out about the last weeks. Kurt was laughing so hard his belly was starting to hurt.
“Ok I give myself over. You didn't ruin the moment AHHH BLAINE.” Blaine laughed and stopped tickling. He didn't gave Kurt a moment to catch his breath and started to kiss him deeply. They were getting lost in the moment when Blaine's stomach started to speak again. Blaine slapped his hand against his head and started to mumble. Kurt chuckled and gave Blaine a told you so look before he gave him a kiss on his nose and took his hand.
They walked downstairs. In the fridge they had just enough ingredients to make a salad and some healthy burgers. They were cooking next to each other. Kurt was busy with the salad while Blaine made the burgers. Blaine could see them doing this all day. They ate in silence while their hands held each other's over the table. It was nice. Blaine thought he was really going to explode from all the happiness.
He looked around his penthouse. Blaine corrected himself: their penthouse. There were still a few of boxes standing in the living, waiting to be opened. Kurt hadn't taken any of his furniture with him as he loved Blaine's stuff and his were mostly second-hand bought. They had found someone to rent Kurt's apartment pretty soon. He had bought over most of the furniture that was still worth something.
When they were ready they cleaned their dishes. Blaine dried everything. They were both tired and decided to sleep early.
They lay on the bed, looking at each other. Blaine had his arm around Kurt and Kurt had placed his leg on Blaine's hip. Their foreheads touched in the middle. They were just looking in each other's eyes. “I love this, you know.”
“I love this a lot two baby. Now this is your home two.” Kurt's eyes changed a little. Blaine started to worry. “Something wrong?”
“No, why do you ask?”
“Your eyes. They speak sometimes more than your words.”
“It's just something I wanted to ask.”
“Well, ask away.”
“My dad called me today to remind me that they are coming to New York next week to see me. With the moving and going with you on promo I totally forgot.”
“I don't see the problem baby?”
“He and Carole would sleep at my place.”
“So you tell them they can sleep here. I have two spare rooms so there is plenty of space.”
“You wouldn't mind?”
“No, I would love to meet them.”
“Yeah they want to meet you to. I didn't know if you'd be ok with it and I didn't know how to ask and if you even wanted to meet them already. I was already thinking about hotels where they could sleep and” Blaine pressed his lips slowly against Kurt's. He was rambling and even though Blain thought it was adorable, he need Kurt to slow down. He pulled away and saw how Kurt's blue eyes opened slowly.
“Sorry baby, it was the only way to get you to slow down. You started rambling. I don't mind. I love to meet them. I'm a little nervous but things will be ok. Now we should really sleep so we can unpack our last boxes this weekend before your dad and Carole arrive here.”
Kurt kissed him slowly. “I'm so lucky to have you. I love you Blaine.”
“I love you two. Goodnight baby.”
“Goodnight.” Blaine turned off the light and let Kurt snuggle up behind him. Today was a good day.
Blaine and Kurt were waiting at the airport. They had been able to unpack all the boxes before Kurt's dad and Carole arrived. Blaine was a little nervous. Kurt seemed to notice and wrapped his arms around his neck.
“Kurt, I love you a lot but I don't want your dad's first impression to be me all wrapped up around you.” Blaine was saying the words even though his arms wrapped around Kurt's waist who smiled at his accomplishment. He gave Blaine a small kiss on his lips. Blaine responded immediately and wrapped his arms even tighter around Kurt's waist. He felt the nerves slowly ebb away. Kurt let go of Blaine and took a hold of his hand again.
They waited a while longer when Kurt saw a baseball cap. “DAD!” He ran towards his dad and wrapped him in a tight hug.
His dad chuckled. “Hey kiddo. Long-time not seen. How have you been?”
“Everything is going great.” Burt hadn't seen his son since the time he had been in Ohio for the concert. He saw the sparkle in his son's eyes. It had been a while since he had seen that.
Blaine looked from a distance how Kurt wrapped Carole in a tight hug. He smiled a little knowing that Kurt had really missed them a lot. He was so excited to see them again.
Kurt walked with his parents towards Blaine and oh there were the nerves again. Blaine chuckled a bit about how he wasn't as nervous anymore when he played a concert but was now very nervous to meet Kurt's parents. It was ironic. He saw how Kurt's dad looked at him from head to toe. He thought he heard Kurt say something like be nice dad, but he wasn't sure.
“Dad, Carole, this is Blaine. Blaine this is my dad and Carole.” Blaine extended his hand towards Kurt's dad.
“It's a pleasure to meet you sir.” He was surprised when Burt chuckled and instead of a hand gave him a hug.
“Nice to meet you to son. But don't call me sir. It makes me feel old. I may be bald but I'm not that old yet. You can call me Burt.” Blaine felt the nerves ebb away and responded to the hug. When Burt let go of him, he had just a chance to blink his eyes before he felt Carole hug him tight. When she let go of him, she looked at him from head to toe.
“Kurt was totally right. You're very handsome.” Blaine started to chuckle and looked towards Kurt who was turning bright red. Blaine helped Kurt's parents with their luggage as they walked towards the waiting car. Blaine had asked if the driver could come and pick them up as it was easier. Blaine had been lucky with walking in the airport as there weren't any paparazzi but as usually it didn't last long.
He walk out the airport with Kurt and his parents when there were flashes everywhere. Blaine started to walk faster to the car and gave Kurt at sign that they should enter the car.
When Blaine entered the car he looked really upset. Kurt noticed and wrapped Blaine in his arms. Blaine lay his head on Kurt's shoulder and breathed in all that was Kurt. He felt the tension leave his body.
Carole and Burt who sat behind them noticed and shared a look. They were quiet for the rest of the ride.
Kurt was giving his parents a tour around the penthouse and showed them their room. They really seemed to like the place and looked with big eyes around. Blaine had opted to stay downstairs and play a little music to ease his tension. He didn't sing, just played some tones. It was very calming. He didn't understand how they always seemed to find him everywhere. It was like the paparazzi had pulled a radar on him while they were taking pictures and they were following him now every step along the road. Sometimes it frustrated him in times like these. He hadn't want Kurt's parents to get caught up in this. Speaking about a terrible first impression.
His phone vibrated on the piano. One new text message. Heard you got Kurt's parents caught up in the paparazzi? The pictures are everywhere man! It's insane.
Blaine sighed. He knew Wes was just concerned. The boys knew how it sometimes frustrated Blaine and these times the fame just was too much for him. That and the fact that Blaine was followed way more than they were. Blaine never understood why. Maybe because he was the frontman but even then, they were a team after all. He started to type a reply. Yeah, but we got home safe. I walked out the airport and they came from everywhere. They really are getting more insane every day.
Blaine was thinking about what had happened when his phone vibrated again. They will calm down once the big news of your relationship is old news. Have fun with Kurt's parents though! Good luck from me and the rest of the boys. Blaine chuckled knowing full well that they were very excited about this. They were insane or like they liked to call it: very dedicated Klaine shippers.
Blaine started to play further on the piano and didn't notice how Kurt started to walk down the stairs with his parents. Blaine had closed his eyes and was totally lost in the melody. Kurt was looking with nothing then admiration towards his boyfriend. Burt noticed and could only smile. This kid would be around a long time.
They had decided to make dinner instead of going out. They knew the paparazzi would follow them everywhere now they knew that Blaine was meeting Kurt's family. Kurt and Carole were cooking while Blaine and Burt were in the living talking about sports. Kurt felt happy seeing how they connected pretty well. He knew that look into his dad eyes that told him he really like Blaine, even though he wouldn't admit it.
He had stopped cutting the vegetables to look at Blaine. This didn't go unnoticed by Carole. “You really love him, don't you?”
Kurt looked up to see her standing behind him. “Yeah I really do.”
“I've to be honest. Me and your dad were a little worried when you told us that you were dating a famous rock star. If the paparazzi at the airport was any indication, it must be pretty intense. But we can't deny how happy in love you both seem. Just be careful ok?”
“I'll be.” They started to work further on the meal. When dinner was ready, they all sat down at the table. Blaine had pulled out a bottle of wine to serve with the fish and potatoes. It was a nice evening filled with laughter.
Burt told Blaine some stories about little Kurt that embarrassed Kurt a lot. Blaine found out that Kurt was a cheerleader once, which he found pretty hot and he knew at one point he would beg for pictures or videos, and that Kurt played football once, which he didn't believe at all. It was a nice and calming evening.
Blaine helped Kurt after diner with the dishes while Carole and Burt sat at the table watching them. There was light conversation but also periods of comfortable silence.
They decided to watch a movie with Kurt's parents when they were done. Blaine picked a comedy he hoped everyone would like. Blaine had purchased a new sofa so when there was visit, everyone would be able to sit down. Burt and Carole sat down on the new sofa while Blaine and Kurt sat on the other one.
Blaine moved his arm around Kurt's shoulder when the movie started. Kurt laid his head on Blaine's chest and curled into his side. Blaine lay his head on Kurt's head while he enlaced his fingers with Kurt's. With his other hand he traced small circles on his back. Burt was looking the couple more then the movie. He noticed how they interacted and how Blaine would always look down once in a while to see if Kurt was still comfortable. There was no doubt for him that they would last. Burt had been worried about the attention and the pressure on their relationship but now he understood so much better. He would really try to get to know the kid better.
The next day, they decided to do a little sightseeing in New York. Blaine had proposed to stay home. He knew there was always a chance the paparazzi would find him even with disguise and he really didn't want to ruin the trip. Burt had been strict though and told him he should come so they could get to know each other better.
That's how Blaine was walking now hand in hand with Kurt through central park. Kurt's parents walked a bit before them, taking pictures. It was cute. It was afternoon and the paparazzi seemed to have a day off.
The day was perfect for a picnic in the park. Kurt had prepared everything for a picnic and his parents seemed very fund of the idea. Kurt was pointing towards a very discrete place under the trees. They had walked a bit faster to tell his parents were they could sit. Blaine laid the blanket on the ground while Kurt opened the picnic basket. It was cosy and nice in the sun. They ate some sandwiches and some fruit that Kurt had packed.
“Boys, are you ok if we separate ways? Carole wants to see some museums and I know you guys have probably seen most of them anyway.”
“It's ok dad. Just enjoy New York with Carole. We have lots of time to do other stuff this weekend together.” Burt and Carole gave both boys a hug before leaving them alone.
Kurt went to sit down between Blaine's legs and rested with his back against Blaine's chest. They closed their eyes and just enjoyed the sun. Blaine picked out his phone as he wanted to take a picture for his picture wall. Sometimes there was a picture added as the boys took pictures from times on times and there were a lot of paparazzi pictures of him and Kurt. He knew the wall would be full in no time if things kept going like this but he didn't mind. They could always start another wall right? Kurt looked at Blaine to see him opening the picture app on his phone. He shook his head and chuckled.
“What?”
“You know if we keep taking pictures we will have to hang pictures everywhere in our house right?”
“I don't mind. I want to have as many pictures as possible so one day if we have kids we can tell them about these moments and if one day I get so old that I can't remember all these perfect moments, I can look at the pictures and remember how happy and in love I was in this moment.” Kurt got a little teary eyed.
“Hey no teary eyes. This should be a happy memory right?” Kurt kissed him slowly. This was all he had dreamed about in high school. The romance, the sweet words and the sweet kisses. He rested his head again under Blaine's chin and closed his eyes to enjoy the sun. Blaine pressed a kiss on his head with his eyes closed and took a picture. He looked at it and knew that this would be his new favourite picture. His putted it as his screensaver so he could always look at it.
