Cooper could see how much fun Blaine was having and how much happier he was since meeting Kurt. They moved together and was always aware of the other person. Cooper was surprised that the two boys weren't together yet and he shared this with Elizabeth who smiled slyly.

"Well I give it until Regional's when they get together," Elizabeth had winked.

"I just hope Blaine realizes that Kurt likes him," Cooper snorted. "It's kind of hard to miss the dreamy smiles."

Elizabeth giggled along with Mildred and they nodded. "We know."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kurt and Blaine were in the living room watching a Christmas movie that was playing on the television and were swapping Christmas stories during the ad breaks.

"Mum and dad had told us the tradition that if you get caught under mistletoe with someone you have to kiss them," Blaine was telling Kurt with a bright smile. "They had stuck around the house because they were hosting a Christmas party. Anyway, Cooper and I got stuck under it and Cooper didn't want to kiss so I chased him around the whole house until I finally caught him and planted one on his cheek."

Kurt laughed loudly, throwing his head back and clutching the cushion to his chest. Blaine laughed along with him and couldn't help but think that Kurt looked beautiful when he laughed.

"I hope pictures were taken," Kurt giggled and Blaine mock-gasped.

"You'll never see them," he cried dramatically which set Kurt off into another peal of laughter.

"Maybe I'll get Cooper to show me," Kurt teased and Blaine pouted.

"That's cheating," he told him and Kurt just smirked. The movie came back on they fell silent as they watched it. They hummed along to the Christmas music that played in the back ground, their voices blending together well.

"Are you going to tell me some of your Christmas traditions now?" Blaine asked with the ads came back on.

"Alright," Kurt smiled. "Every year just out of Lima at the drive in movie theatre they play a Christmas movie. My dad would always drive us there and mum would pack hot chocolate and popcorn and we would see the movie."

"Wow. That's sounds really nice," Blaine smiled and Kurt nodded.

"It shut down the same year my dad died so we could never continue with it but every Christmas eve we watch his favourite Christmas movie and drink hot chocolate and eat popcorn," Kurt smiled sadly.

"Are we still doing that tonight?" Blaine asked and Kurt smiled at him, eye showing a hint of surprise.

"If it's okay with you. Mum was going to leave it until after so that you didn't feel uncomfortable," Kurt told him honestly.

"Don't be stupid. It's your Christmas tradition and Cooper and I are guests. Of course we are going to watch the movie for your dad," Blaine told him firmly. He shifted under Kurt gaze and wondered if he had gone too far.

"You are a really good friend Blaine," Kurt finally smiled and Blaine relaxed.

"You're my best friend Kurt," Blaine said and both boys smiled. The movie started again and they both fell into comfortable silence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Work you stupid thing! Work!" Mildred growled, tapping the top of the DVD player firmly and Elizabeth rolled her eyes at her sister sighed. Mildred pressed the on button sharply and it started to power up before quickly saying goodbye and turning off.

"We do this every year," Kurt whispered to Cooper and Blaine who were watching with wide eyes, trying to stifle their smiles.

"You have to treat it with love," Elizabeth told her and Mildred snorted.

"Love? All I give it is love and it gives me nothing in response. It hates me!" Mildred cried. "It's ancient! Get a new one!"

"This one works perfectly well," Elizabeth huffed and nudged her sister out of the way. She gently pressed the on button and it slowly powered up. Mildred rolled her eyes and threw her hands up in defeat.

"That DVD player is playing favouritisms!" she declared and flopped down on the couch.

Kurt wiggled his eyebrows at Blaine and wiggled the DVD remote. Kurt had been pressing off every time Mildred turned it on. Blaine snorted loudly and failed to cover it with a cough. Elizabeth put the movie in and Kurt quickly jumped up to get the hot chocolate and popcorn. Blaine helped him and they passed it around.

They settled on the couch, Blaine and Kurt sitting much closer than before so that there was enough room for everyone. Their thighs were touching and Kurt tried not to blush. He liked the feeling of being this close to Blaine but new it was nothing more than friendship.

Little did he know that Blaine was having similar thoughts. He was confused. He liked the way Kurt tucked into his side perfectly, the heat that was admitting from his body onto his own was nice. It was comfortable but Blaine knew he never felt like this when he sat next to his other friends like this. It didn't help that Cooper was grinning at him knowingly and kept throwing winks his way.

The movie started and Blaine found himself getting lost in the story. He had never seen this Christmas movie before and knew why Burt must have loved it so much. He looked to Elizabeth and saw that she was tucked up into her sister side, a happy smile on her face that also showed her grief. Mildred understood that this was a special moment for her sister and didn't tease her like she usually would and played with her hair as they watched.

He chanced a glance at Kurt who was the same smile as his mother and he was relaxing more into Blaine's side. Cooper himself was enjoying the movie and thought to himself that they should watch it more often at Christmas time. As the credits closed, they were all reluctant to move, having been so comfortable.

"We should start on dinner," Elizabeth smiled. "Kurt, why don't you set up a mattress for Blaine in your room?"

The two boys nodded and Blaine followed Kurt up stairs to his room. They found a blow up mattress and took turns pumping it up. Kurt quickly got some sheets and they made up a bed and Blaine had brought his own pillow per Kurt's request.

"What do you think?" Kurt asked, stepping back and eyeing the mattress critically.

"Looks comfy," Blaine grinned and Kurt smiled.

"We should help mum make dinner," Kurt said and Blaine nodded. They headed back downstairs and found that there wasn't a lot they could do so they sat at the island and watched, getting involved with the conversation. Elizabeth, Mildred and Cooper were all doing different jobs for the meal. Kurt quickly put on some Christmas music that they sung too and they danced around each other as they moved in the kitchen.

Cooper had a wonderful singing voice and Kurt thought that talent must run in the family as well as good looks and charm.

"So this is what it's like to have a man around the house," Mildred mused and Cooper winked at her.

"You'd hate it Millie," Elizabeth teased.

"Just as much as I hate being called Millie," Mildred shuddered. "I think I need a girlfriend. I've been alone to long. I'll start to go bitter."

"It's not like there is an expiry date," Elizabeth snorted.

"You don't know that!" Mildred protested and they all laughed. The house was filled with the smell of a delicious roast and it tasted even better. They had roasted vegies and potatoes with it and Mildred made homemade gravy that was thick and creamy.

Kurt and Blaine set up the table and Kurt made their napkins into swans to add a little decoration to the table.

Blaine had been in awe so Kurt taught him how to fold them and he managed to make one for Cooper.

When it was ready, Cooper served it up and they all sat down. Blaine could honestly say it was the best Christmas eve dinner he had ever had. Mildred's gravy was to die for and he coated his meat in it.

Kurt had rolled his eyes but didn't comment, knowing that it was that time of year to indulge.

"Can we come back next year?" Cooper asked, eyes clouded over with joy and pleasure. "This is amazing. Actually, scrap that. Can I move in?" Blaine nodded his head enthusiastically and Kurt chuckled.

Elizabeth laughed delightfully and smiled amusedly.

"I'm sure we can make enough room for you boys," she allowed and Cooper beamed.

"Excellent. I'll have the rest of my stuff in by next week," he joked and they all laughed. They ate until they couldn't eat anymore and rubbed their tummies with content. Together they all cleaned up and by the time they had finished it was getting late. Kurt and Blaine made up the couch for Cooper who thanked them sincerely.

"I'll see you in the morning," Elizabeth smiled and kissed everyone's cheeks and headed up to her room to sleep. Everyone followed her lead and tucked themselves into bed, eager to see what Christmas morning would bring.
