Kurt started pacing around the living room just as he was last night before his four hours of sleep. Since Blaine's words didn't seem to calm him down at all. Santana went over to Rachel's last night to visit and give Kurt his space.
Blaine came stumbling sleepily down the hallway, "Kurt, why are you awake?" he asked him, "It's five in the morning."
"I can't sleep," Kurt said as he started writing something on a notepad.
Blaine rubbed a hand on his face and then into his hair, "Come on," he took Kurt's arm, "Let's sit down."
"I can't sit down!" Kurt exclaimed. "My parents and Finn are coming to our apartment for Christmas!"
"It's not that big of deal," Blaine said to him.
Kurt looked over at Blaine, "Not that big of deal? Not that big of DEAL? Do you realize how much we have to do now! I have to get a bigger turkey and get more potatoes. Do you understand that at this time of year there is a potato shortage! A shortage Blaine!"
Blaine bit his bottom lip to hide the smile on his face, "Kurt, honey, look at me."
"But the potatoes Blaine," Kurt said with his arms flying in the air.
"I know about the potatoes," Blaine took Kurt's hands in his, "Now first off I am going to say that I will go out and get some potatoes right now. Second, it isn't that big of deal. We bought a big enough turkey I am more than positive even with Finn coming."
Kurt grumbled and flew himself down onto the couch, "I am just going insane here."
Blaine laughed and sat down beside Kurt, "Let's do a head count of everyone that is coming."
"Okay," Kurt said flipping a few pages on his notepad, "Obviously you, me, and Cassidy. Then Rachel, Santana, and Ashley are coming, and now my dad, mom, and Finn. That's nine people, how am I going to do this?"
"We are going to do just fine," Blaine corrected him, "We just need to adjust our last minute grocery shopping list."
"Fine," Kurt said handing the notepad over to Blaine.
Blaine found the list, "Look, we'll just make two pies instead of one. I was going to suggest that anyways knowing how much Ashley likes your pie."
"Great," Kurt said with his head leaning to rest on Blaine's shoulder.
"And I doubt there will be a potato shortage," Blaine said with a giggle.
"Stop it," Kurt hit Blaine's chest with what little energy he had.
Blaine wrote down potatoes, "Now anything else do you think we'll need?"
"We should pick up another bottle of wine too," Kurt suggested, "Carole likes it."
"Great," Blaine wrote it down. "And maybe we will make another batch of cookies just for Finn the next day."
Kurt giggled into Blaine's shoulder, "That's probably a good idea."
"Wonderful," Blaine set the notepad and pen on the table. "See that was easy enough."
"Now we have to shopping for all of the stuff," Kurt groaned.
"Which I imagine will be so much fun," Blaine teased, "Just take Santana with you I'm sure she will make everyone get out of your way."
"I may take you up on that offer," Kurt said as he started to close his eyes.
Blaine hummed and leaned his head back on the couch, "I know you are excited about your family coming."
"I suppose I am," Kurt wrapped an around Blaine's middle, "And I'm tired." He then fell silent and his eyes closed.
Blaine soon felt Kurt's breaths even out and he found himself closing his own eyes and falling asleep.
A couple hours later Cassidy's alarm went off and she hit the button top to turn it off. She crawled out of bed and used the bathroom. When she walked out into the living room she found her brother and Kurt curled up on the couch.
The couple was now lying horizontally. Blaine's head was resting on the arm of the couch and Kurt was lying on top of him with his head on Blaine's chest. Blaine's arms were wrapped around Kurt. On the top of both of them was Stormageddon fast asleep.
Cassidy let out a giggle as she walked over to them, she reached over and tapped them on the shoulder, "Good morning," she giggled again.
Blaine opened one eye, "Not yet," he said sleepily and closed his eye. The movement caused Stormageddon to open his eyes.
Kurt laughed, "We fell asleep." And when he laughed Stormageddon jumped off his back and slink down the hallway.
Cassidy leaned on the couch, "I thought you said we can't sleep on the couch at night."
"We didn't," Blaine said to her, "Woke up early and fell back asleep."
"Really?" Cassidy asked them.
"I think when your sister starts judging us something is wrong," Kurt mumbled into Blaine's chest. "What time is it?"
"Just about seven thirty now," Cassidy said.
Kurt shot up and it caused him to roll off of Blaine falling onto the floor, "I'm going to be late," he stood up and ran into their room.
Blaine pouted, "My warm body left me," he whined.
Cassidy reached over and gently pulled his hair, "Just get up." And she walked away into the kitchen.
"So mean," Blaine said with a laugh. He swung his legs over the edge of the couch and stood up stretching his arms over his chest. Walking into the kitchen he flipped on the coffee maker and waited for the warm liquid to start pouring out.
Cassidy was sitting at the table eating her favorite cereal, "Do you think Santa will think of a good surprise for me for Christmas?"
Blaine looked over at his sister, "Sure, I don't see why not. That's what you are going to ask for then?"
"Yep," Cassidy nodded her head and went back to reading the back of the cereal box.
Blaine was surprised she hadn't brought up the Santa subject before then. He wasn't quite sure if she still believed, but maybe this Christmas she needed it. So he would happily be there for her.
Kurt ran into the kitchen, "I am going to be so late."
"No you aren't," Blaine said as he grabbed a banana from the counter and held it out, "Do you want to wait for some coffee?"
"Nah, I'll grab some at the office," Kurt grabbed the fruit and kissed him on the cheek, "I will see you two later," as he brushed off the front of his shirt.
"Have a good day," Blaine said.
"You too," Kurt said slipping on his jacket and running out the door.
Cassidy looked over at her brother, "You knew what time it was when you woke up didn't you?"
"I did," Blaine shrugged, "But he needed the sleep. So only three more days of school this week, and you aren't going to be late for any of them. Let's get going."
Cassidy hopped off the chair and put her dishes in the sink, "Fine, but I think we should hamburgers for dinner tonight."
"Why do you suggest that?" Blaine asked her.
"I don't know," Cassidy shrugged.
"Santana paid you didn't she?" Blaine stared at his sister.
Cassidy reached up and pretended to zip her lips shut. She shrugged her shoulders and skipped down the hall.
Blaine laughed and shook his head, "Girls."
