Kurt and Blaine were slowly beginning to trust Finn and were impressed by his effort to make it up to them. He always looked out for them when they were out in public and gave looks to people who looked as if they might say something. It's not like Kurt and Blaine were flamboyant about their relationship in public.

It was this behaviour that helped Burt make his decision. He had watched and listened to Finn and his boys, how the interacted with each other now. Finn was really trying and he was doing well. The boys seemed to be getting on and that all Burt wanted.
Burt sat down with Kurt one day. Blaine was at his house, Burt wanting to talk with just Kurt first.
"How everything between you and Finn now?" Burt asked and Kurt look up sharply.

"You knew about that?" Kurt asked.
"Give your old man some credit," Burt said. "and answer the question."
"Better, we are doing better," Kurt said. "Finn's really trying and he's a nice guy."
"That good. He's not giving you or Blaine any more trouble?" Burt asked.
"No dad," Kurt smiled softly. "He's actually been looking out for us."

"That good," Burt smiled. "I want to talk to you about something."
"What?" Kurt asked.
"I'm thinking of asking Carol to marry me," Burt said.
Kurt froze and blinked.
"What-really?" Kurt stuttered out.
"Yeah. What do you think?" Burt asked.

"Dad, that's fantastic," Kurt said, breaking out into grin.
"Yeah?" Burt asked, feeling relieved.
"Of course it is dad," Kurt grinned. "I can see how much you love her and how much she makes you happy."
"She does kid," Burt smiled. "and you're OK with this?"

"Dad, you don't have to ask my permission. If you love her than go get her," Kurt smiled. "Do you have a ring?"
"No, I need to go shopping for one," Burt said. Kurt grinned and sat up straighter in his chair.
"Can I help?" Kurt asked.
"Of course," Burt grinned. "That's why I'm asking you."

Kurt squealed and jumped out of his chair and hugged Burt around the shoulder, careful of his cast.
"I love you dad," Kurt said, kissing his cheek.
"I love you too Kurt," Burt said, patting his arm.
"I'm really happy for you dad," Kurt smiled and Burt grinned back.
"Now, go call Blaine like I know you want too," Burt said.

Kurt laughed and danced to the kitchen and grabbed the phone. He dialled Blaine mobile number and waited.
"Hey Kurt," Blaine answered.
"Hello darling," Kurt greeted. "I have wonderful news."
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Blaine asked, sounding amused.

Kurt squealed into the phone the news.
"Whoa slow down hun," Blaine chuckled. "Now, say it again.'
"I said," Kurt said, speaking slowly. "Dad is going to ask Carol to marry him."
"What? When?" Blaine asked.
"He hasn't made a time yet, he still has to get the ring," Kurt said.

"Wow," Blaine breathed. "Kurt that's fantastic."
"I know, isn't it," Kurt smiled, twirling around. "come with us. Come ring shopping with us."
"Do I have a choice?" Blaine asked and Kurt could tell that he wasn't looking amused.
"Always," Kurt said. "But it would just be easier if you came."
"If I have to," Blaine mocked sighed.

"Excellent," Kurt grinned. "We'll come pick you up."
"I'll be waiting," Blaine said and they hung up.
Burt and Kurt got ready, grabbing their wallets and keys before heading out together. They picked up Blaine who was waiting out the front for them.
Blaine happily jumped in the back and Burt drove them to the jewellery store. The parked close and walked together.

They were welcomed into the store and were immediately given assistance.
"Go have a look around dad," Kurt smiled. "You choose the ones you like the best and then we'll help you decide which one."
"Ok," Burt said and followed the women to the ring cases.

Blaine and Kurt walked around together, looking at the jewellery that was on display. They were alone in the store so they indulged in a little PDA, gently holding hands.
They looked in a cabinet and there were rings for males. There were simple silver ones, gold bands, gold bands with diamonds.

Blaine squeezed Kurt hand and pulled him closer.
"You know," Blaine said. "one day you'll have a ring on your finger."
"hmm," Kurt hummed. "So will you."
"Which one do you like?" Blaine asked.
"I like that one," Kurt said.

It was a gold band with small diamonds printed around the sound, a vine wrapping around it and a single leaf engraved around it.
"Of course," Blaine chuckled. "Just as stunning as you are."
"What about you?" Kurt asked.
"Well," Blaine said. "I like that one."
Blaine was pointing a small gold band that had small cluster of diamonds on it.

"Beautiful," Kurt murmured. "One day I'm going to get you that ring."
Blaine looked to Kurt and smiled at him brightly, tears welling in his eyes.
"That ring is yours Kurt," Blaine said quietly in his ear. "Whenever you're ready for it, it's yours."
Kurt turned to Blaine, tears shining in his eyes and squeezed Blaine's hand tighter.
"I love you," Kurt said. "So much."
"I love you too," Blaine whispered. Both turned back to the rings and smiled brightly.

They moved away from the case, before their emotions became too much. They looked around all the cases while Burt poured of the choices of rings.
An hour later, Burt called them over.
"OK, I have it down to these five," Burt said.
The rings sat on top of the counter on little blue velvet cases.

"They're all beautiful," Blaine said. "Carol would love any of them."
"Blaine's right," Kurt said. "But I think we can eliminate these two."
Kurt pushed back two rings and left three choices.
"Now, which one do you truly love?" Kurt asked.

Burt didn't hesitate to choose the one in the middle
It was a beautiful ring. There were small diamond clusters on the side and a large diamond in the middle.
"That's the one," Burt said.
"It's beautiful," Blaine said. "She'll love it."

"Good choice dad," Kurt said.
"We'll take it," Burt said. The women smiled and put the other rings back. She put it in a velvet box and wrapped it up. Burt payed for it and they headed out. Blaine and Kurt took one last look at the rings before following Burt out.
They all headed back to the Anderson's home to tell the news to Annie and Edward.

They were home and they ushered them all in.
"What's going on?" Annie asked.
"I'm going to propose to Carol," Burt said with a grin.
Annie squealed and hugged Blaine tightly.
"Congratulations mate," Edward grinned and pulled Burt into a hug.

"Oh, we have to celebrate," Annie said, tears in her eyes.
"Hang on, she hasn't said yes," Burt laughed.
"Oh who are we kidding," Annie said, heading to the kitchen. "She'll say yes."
They laughed and drinks were passed around.

"To the Hummel and Hudson family," Edward said. They cheered and all took a drink.
"We should go out or something," Kurt said. "for dinner."
"Sounds good," Burt said.
It was still early in the day so Edward and Burt headed outside to take a look at the pool in the back yard. The filter was acting up and Burt had promised to take a look before summer hit them.

Blaine and Kurt disappeared up stairs and went to Blaine's room. Blaine turned on some music, leaving the door partway open and while Kurt went and laid on the bed.
"Come here," Kurt said quietly. Blaine smiled and went to the bed, crawling onto the mattress.
Kurt pulled Blaine into his arms and pressed his lips to his, tongue sweeping across his bottom lip.

Blaine hummed happily and kissed him back, arms winding around Kurt's waist, slotting himself between Kurt's legs. The arm that was in the cast rested gently on Blaine's lower back, the other tangling into Blaine's curls.

Blaine licked his way into Kurt's mouth, moaning softly. Blaine squeezed Kurt's hips and pressed him further into the bed. Kurt shifted so that one leg was now propped up, leaning against Blaine's thigh and hip.
Blaine slid one hand under his shirt and splayed his hand over Kurt's stomach. Kurt's stomach jumped and Blaine hummed.

Blaine traced patterns over Kurt's stomach and Kurt hummed happily. Kurt let out a yelp as he curled his fingers tightly with his broken arm.
Blaine pulled back, looking startled.
"What?" Blaine asked, lips swollen, chest heaving gently.
"Owe," Kurt whimpered.
"What happened?" Blaine asked, rolling off Kurt, looking worried.

"I curled my finger and my arm hurt," Kurt said, blushing and looking at his broken arm.
Blaine chuckled and took his arm, gently kissing each finger.
"Silly boy," Blaine said teasingly and Kurt pouted.
"Sorry," he sighed and Blaine rubbed his nose against Kurt's.
"Don't be silly," Blaine said and gently pecked Kurt on the lips.

Kurt entwined his good hand with Blaine's and they just rested next to each other.
"You're dad's going to get married," Blaine said softly.
"He hasn't asked her yet," Kurt said, an amused smile on his face.
"True," Blaine chuckled. "but he will and Carol would be crazy to say no."
"Yes, she would be," Kurt said. "That means Finn and I will become step-brothers."

"Is that OK?" Blaine asked.
"I think so,"
Kurt said slowly. "He's proving to us that he was wrong."
"That he is," Blaine agreed. "I think it will be OK."

"It will be," Kurt said, nuzzling Blaine's nose.
"Let me guess," Blaine said. "You'll be begging to help with the wedding preparations."
"Oh Blaine," Kurt sighed. "You've known me since I was five. Our power rangers got married in divorced in so many combinations and I remember our pretend weddings, they were the best. Of course I'll help plan the wonderful event."

Blaine chuckled and couldn't help but flash back to when they were six.
The two boys had been playing house in the back yard in Kurt's play house that Elizabeth had bought him.
"OK," Kurt said, his voice high and adorable. "Now we have to get married."
"Can two boys get married?" Blaine asked, looking adorably confused, his curly hair flopping down in his face. He needed a haircut.

"I think so," Kurt said slowly.
"OK," Blaine grinned and took Kurt's hands. "How do we get married?"
"Blaine," Kurt whined. "We have to decorate the place first. Like our power ranger marriages."
"Right," Blaine nodded.

Elizabeth had come outside to find the boys holding hands and Blaine's large teddy bear acting as the minister.
"You may now kiss your husband," Blaine said, making his voice sound different, making it sound like the teddy was talking.
Elizabeth witnessed their first kiss. Of course it was a quick peck on the lips but both boys had blushed bright red.

"What do we do now?" Blaine asked, still holding Kurt's hand.
"We have to buy a house!" Kurt exclaimed. Elizabeth beamed brightly at the two of them and giggled softly as Kurt dragged Blaine to the play house and pretended to look around, considering to buy it with their plastic money.

"What are you thinking about?" Kurt asked, bringing Blaine out of his musings. Blaine grinned goofily at Kurt.
"When we were six," Blaine said. "and we had our first pretend wedding and my teddy was the one who married us."
Kurt giggled, laying his head on Blaine chest.
"I remember that," Kurt said. "That was our first kiss too."

Blaine chuckled.
"If I remember correctly, it was mostly my play money that bought us that play house," Blaine grinned and Kurt giggled again.
"No, remember, we had to ask mum for more money because the red power ranger wouldn't sell it to us because we didn't have enough."

Blaine laughed loudly.
"I had forgotten that," Blaine said. "But we got the house."
"And spent all of two hours in there before we abandoned it," Kurt giggled.
"That's because your mum had made hedgehog," Blaine grinned.

The two boys laughed loudly, bodies rumbling as they couldn't contain their laugher.
