Blaine smiled and stretched out his arms as the sun was shining through the bedroom window. He never got sick of spending the night at Kurt's apartment after a hard day at work. The only thing he hated was waking up to no Kurt next to him. He stood and slipped on a pair of pajama pants, walking out to the kitchen to see his boyfriend flipping pancakes, swaying along to the radio. Blaine smirked, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist, kissing his cheek. “Morning” He mumbled, swaying with him, pressing his lips to Kurt's bare shoulder. “Good morning my handsome sleepy head” Kurt greeted, looking back with a wide smile. Blaine pecked his lips and reached up to grab a coffee cup from the cabinet. “Do you work today?” Kurt asked, shutting off the stove as he placed the plate of pancakes down on the breakfast bar. Blaine nodded, grabbing forks and plates for them, sweeping up his cup of coffee he took a seat across from Kurt. “I do, but I don't have to be in until noon. How about you college graduate? When do you go in there today?” Kurt smiled widely, taking a sip of milk. “One thirty, I have to get to the airport soon to get my parents. You'll be coming to dinner though right? My dad is really excited to meet you” Blaine looked up from his plate with a grin, giving Kurt a small nod. “Of course I'll be at dinner. You've been talking about your dad coming up here for the past three months; I need to meet the man who you speak so highly of.” Kurt bit his lip excitedly, so happy that Blaine and his dad were going to meet.

Rachel held Finn's hand tightly; proud that Kurt made it through college and has a life starting out for him. He had a job with Marc Jacobs, a boyfriend of two months, and now a degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology. He's accomplished so much and was only twenty two years old. “So here is to the graduating class of 2016! Congratulations graduates, stay fabulous.” Kurt watched as the confetti was being thrown into the air, spotting his family in the audience and blowing them a kiss. This was another complete chapter of his life and now he can move on to his new chapter with his job and his relationship with Blaine.

“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hummel, I'm Blaine Anderson, Kurt's boyfriend.” Burt shook his hand, not looking too keen on meeting this kid. It could have been anyone dating Kurt and he wouldn't be too happy about meeting them. “Hey there Blaine, you can call me Burt, nice to meet you.” Blaine smiled widely and greeted Carole with a hug, kissing her cheek. “Hi sweetie, I'm Carole, so great to finally meet you Blaine. Kurt's talked so much about you.” He looked over with a smirk, giving him a wink. Kurt had to admit, Blaine was a natural charmer. “I hope its good things” he said to Carole, chuckling as he pulled Kurt close to his side. Carole giggled and watched the boys look at one another, feeling the chemistry between them. This was no casual thing like Burt was told; this was for the long haul.

Blaine smiled widely as Burt gave him a hard pat on the back. “It was nice meeting you Blaine” he said kindly, shaking his hand. “Likewise Burt, have a safe flight tomorrow.” Blaine gave Carole a hug before she left up the stairs, shaking Burt's hand again before he followed her. “Son... You hurt my boy and I'm coming for you, understand?” Burt warned, giving Blaine a grin as he gulped nervously. “Um... Yes sir. Don't worry. Kurt's in good hands” he stuttered smiling sheepishly, waving goodbye as they entered the building, leaving him alone with his boyfriend to say their goodbyes. Kurt gave a pout as him and Blaine stood outside his apartment building, everyone already inside. “Do you really have to go?” He asked, playing with the hairs on the nape of Blaine's neck. Blaine nodded, leaning in to take Kurt's lips into his own, his arms tightening around his waist. “I'm not going to spend the night in your bed when your parents are in the living room. They leave tomorrow, I'll be back then” he promised, pecking Kurt's lips a few times not wanting to let him go. “Mm... Okay. I'll see you tomorrow” Kurt whispered against his mouth, kissing him again never wanting to stop. Blaine chuckled, resting their foreheads together “Tomorrow.”

Burt hugged his son tightly, patting his back. “I'll miss you bud. See you for Thanksgiving right?” Kurt nodded, wiping at a tear that escaped his eye. He hated when his family had to leave, it still hurt after all these years. “You can um... You can bring Blaine if you want to, if you guys are still seeing each other” Burt said awkwardly, still not comfortable with the fact that Kurt has a boyfriend and isn't in the same state anymore. He can't keep an eye on him like he used to. “Thanks dad. Have a safe flight, I love you guys!” He waved and watched as they walked away. Kurt certainly didn't miss Lima, but he did miss his family. Thankfully he has the holidays to look forward to, and Blaine's company.

Blaine looked up from his book seeing Kurt's head peeking into his door “Surprise!” Kurt said cutely, entering with a bag of Chinese takeout, placing it down on the side table. Blaine swung his legs over the side of the bed and hugged Kurt around his waist, pulling him onto his lap, kissing his cheek. “What a surprise in deed.” Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck pressing a kiss to the top of his head giggling. Blaine smiled up at him and patted his thigh gently. “Hi baby. I've missed you” he murmured, nuzzling his nose against his boyfriend's neck, hungry for something other than food. Two days apart was a long time for them, especially since they've been dating for about two months. “I missed you too. Come on, dinner then cuddling, deal?” Kurt challenged, getting out of Blaine's grip and unloading the bag of food, handing Blaine his meal before taking a seat next to him on the bed. “Deal” Blaine huffed, letting Kurt's head rest on his shoulder as they ate and talked.

“Don't I have to leave soon?” Kurt asked quietly, taking a breath as his lips slid from Blaine's, their bodies flush against one another. Blaine shook his head, rolling his hips slowly as he pecked Kurt's lips, craving his touch. “I can't spend the night here! Are you insane?” He whisper yelled, making Blaine laugh quietly, resting his forehead on Kurt's in defeat. As uncomfortable as he was, wanting to fool around with his boyfriend in his bed at work, Blaine was willing to make this happen, it’s been too long. “Kurt, the guys have their girlfriends stay over sometimes, its fine.” It was true; Blaine wasn't going to lie to get him to stay. He was desperate for some type of sex but not that desperate. “I'm not a girlfriend Blaine” Kurt whispered harshly, his arms loosening around Blaine, threatening to get up. “I know. You're my boyfriend and you're staying the night. I have extra clothes you can borrow. Please Kurt. I miss you; just spend the night with me” Blaine pleaded, rubbing his nose against Kurt's, giving him puppy eyes.

It was three in the morning when the alarm went off, scaring Kurt and Blaine awake from their slumber. “Fuck” Blaine mumbled getting up quickly, running out to get his gear on. Kurt looked around still in a panic mode from the alarm. “Blaine?” He got up and ran to the door, peeking his head outside to see some of the guys getting their gear on and sliding down the pole. “I have a call; I'll be back as soon as I can” Blaine said quickly giving him a small smile before sliding away to the bottom floor, jumping on a truck. Kurt blinked quickly, rubbing his eyes at the harshness of the flashing lights. This was crazy. He couldn't even begin to imagine how Blaine works like this for a living. When the sirens were long gone Kurt shut the door to Blaine's room, lying back down on the bed and snuggling with his boyfriend's pillow, hoping he'll come back alright. He was going to get wrinkles before he was twenty five worrying about Blaine whenever he goes on a call.

Blaine stumbled back into his room that morning, the sun peeking up in the pink sky. He rubbed his face tiredly and slid down against the wall, resting his head against it. The last thing he wanted to do was wake up Kurt, who at the moment was curled around Blaine's pillow on the bed. Blaine stretched out on the floor, his muscles screaming at him to stop. He was in so much pain, a tiny groan escaping past his lips as he went to stand up. “Blaine, is that you?” Kurt's eyes flickered open as he sat up slowly, a sleepy smile on his face as he spotted his boyfriend. “Yeah babe, it’s me. Go back to sleep.” Blaine walked forward slowly, his leg aching as he leaned forward, pressing his lips to Kurt's forehead. “No... What's the matter? Something’s wrong.” His blue eyes darted around Blaine's face, trying to adjust to the darkness. “Nothing, I'm going to go in the shower okay?” Kurt bit his lip, sitting Indian style on the bed, watching Blaine's face twist in pain as he attempted to turn away. “Can I join you, please?”

Kurt stepped into the warm spray of water, watching as Blaine washed all the ash from his body, gray water running down the drain. Without a word he wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist, resting his cheek on his shoulder blade. “Be honest... How much pain are you in?” Kurt asked, closing his eyes as he felt Blaine tense under him. He cleared his throat. “About five out of ten” Blaine muttered, placing his hands over Kurt's, unwrapping them carefully and turning to face him. Kurt sighed sadly, staring at his boyfriend's chest before reaching for the soap, meeting his eyes in question. Blaine nodded softly; watching as Kurt's hands roamed his torso and disappeared to his back, it was so intimate for them. “I hate seeing you like this” Kurt whispered, hugging Blaine gently as he buried his face into his neck. Blaine bit his lip and carded his fingers through Kurt's hair, holding him close. “Babe... Hey, stop... don’t get upset over this please. I'm fine. I'm safe.” He took Kurt's chin between his thumb and index finger, pressing their lips together. “It's okay. I don't want you worrying about me. I've been doing this for four years. I can handle it” Blaine assured, giving Kurt a small smile before kissing him again. It was weird having Kurt get emotional over this because 'he who shall not be named' never did. “I just care about you so much... I hate seeing you hurt” Kurt admitted, caressing Blaine's face in his hand, giving him a smile in return.

“I'll see you later okay? My apartment at 8” Blaine pecked Kurt's lips quickly, smacking his ass playfully as he stepped past the doorway. “Hey, watch yourself” Kurt warned, giving Blaine a wink as he shut the door to the station. Blaine bit his lip, leaning against the wall. The past two months have been a breeze with Kurt. They get into little tiffs sometimes but that's normal and besides that, they always work things out together as a team. It was more than Blaine could ever ask for. The fact that Blaine could see a future with Kurt was scary and amazing all at the same time, which is why he's going to let Kurt meet his family when Thanksgiving comes around. It’s time that he brings someone worth it home to his parents.
