"Yep I got a kitten and named him Stormageddon," Cassidy told Ashley excitedly, "Blaine thought it was a silly name, but he is my kitten so I got to name him."
"Wow," Ashley laughed, "Well it sounds like you had an exciting Christmas then," she put her apron on.
Blaine handed a customer there order, "Now Cassidy remember tonight we have to go to the store and pick up more cat food."
"I know," Cassidy said rolling her eyes, "Are you sure that Stormy is alright at home by himself though?"
"I'm positive," Blaine leaned on the counter, "We put him in the bathroom where he won't get into anything."
"What if he falls in the toilet?" Cassidy asked alarmed.
Blaine blushed, "We put the seat down."
Ashley smiled, "This girl thinks of everything doesn't she?"
"She does, now get back here and help me," Blaine said, "A rush is coming soon and I'm not doing it by myself." He turned towards the customer that walked up to the counter.
"I'm coming," Ashley turned to Cassidy, "Just wait until he gets a boyfriend."
"He already has one," Cassidy said swinging her legs.
Ashley looked at Cassidy in disbelief, "What are you talking about?"
"Blaine and Kurt kissed, now they are boyfriends," Cassidy explained, "Because when a girl and boy are together, they are boyfriend and girlfriend. That makes Blaine and Kurt boyfriends."
"I see," Ashley said, "I'm just going to get to work now."
"Okay," Cassidy said and went back to look at her cat book Blaine had given her as a present.
Ashley walked behind the counter and helped Blaine with the rush and waited to pop her question until after they had served everyone in line, "So your sister said something very interesting."
"She always says something interesting," Blaine smiled.
"Yeah, I know," Ashley wiped the counter, "But this time it was really interesting, like how she knows you and Kurt kissed and are now boyfriends."
Blaine blushed, "It's not...we just...crap," he put his face in the hands.
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked walking up to him, "I'm happy for you. I mean I'm sort of saddened I found out by your sister, but...what's wrong?"
"We kissed," Blaine whispered, "But we didn't really talk about it. I mean I think he likes me, but..."
"Oh my god," Ashley shouted, "You don't think he likes you?" she exclaimed. Everyone in the coffee shop turned to look at the pair except Cassidy was still humming to herself and used to Ashley's behavior. Ashley took Blaine's arm and dragged him to the side, "He kisses you and you don't think he likes you?"
Blaine looked down, "Well I mean I know I like him, but..."
Ashley gave him a stern look, "I can't believe you. You know what I'm going to do, I'm going to make you go see him and then you are going to plant one on him. I don't care where you are, you are going to do it because you-"
"Hello."
Blaine and Ashley turned and saw Kurt standing there. "Kurty!" Cassidy shouted and ran into his arms.
"Well hello there," Kurt smiled as he held Cassidy.
"Guess what Kurt!" Cassidy said wiggling in his arms, "Guess what!"
"Well I can't imagine what you want me to guess," Kurt said laughing.
"I got a kitten for Christmas from Santa!" Cassidy said waving her amrs, "A real kitten!"
"That is exciting," Kurt put Cassidy down, "What did you name it?"
"I named him Stormageddon," Cassidy said skipping back over to her table.
Kurt stood up straight and looked at Blaine, "You were serious."
"I don't know where she gets some of that from," Blaine laughed, "I mean she was dead serious when she told me Christmas morning."
"I'm glad you two had a nice Christmas then," Kurt smiled, "Oh Ashley, I wanted to invite you to my family's New Year's party."
"Really?" Ashley asked, "Well that's nice of you. I will see if I can squeeze it in my busy schedule."
Kurt laughed, "Sure, just come anytime after eight," he turned to Blaine, "But you are invited to dinner so you should come around four."
"Really?" Blaine asked.
"Course," Kurt nodded, "My parents made sure I asked-no more like told you that you are coming," he rolled his eyes, "Sometimes I think they are a bit crazy."
Blaine laughed, "Alright," he turned Cassidy, "We are going to Kurt's house for New Year's Eve dinner."
Cassidy smiled, "Yay! Can I bring Stormy?"
Blaine shook his head, "No, Stormy needs to stay in our apartment."
Cassidy crossed her arms, "Why does Stormy always have to stay at home?"
"Because he is cat and needs to," Blaine explained, "He wouldn't like being taken from place to place."
"Alright," Cassidy said and she moved on, "My book says that cats don't need baths like dogs. They can clean themselves."
"Oh well that's interesting," Blaine said.
Kurt smiled, "So when do you get off tonight?"
Blaine looked at him, "Around four."
"Oh," Kurt said, "I was just wondering when we were going to talk."
Blaine reached out and grabbed his hand, "We will I promise. I mean I didn't even think I would see you today, but I really really want to."
Kurt let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, I for some reason had it in my head that you might not want too."
Ashley groaned, "Oh my god, can you two please just do something or else I will just shove you in the bathroom, lock the door, and wait an hour."
Blaine rolled his eyes, "Ashley, don't you have a coffee maker to be cleaning."
"Fine," Ashley said, "But I swear I will go crazy if you two keep dancing around these feelings you have for each other," she grabbed the coffee pot and went to clean it by the sinks.
Blaine laughs, "I'm sorry about her."
"Don't worry about it," Kurt said.
"Kurt do you want to come over tonight and see Stormageddon?" Cassidy asked suddenly appearing next to him.
Kurt looked at Blaine, who smiled, "That sounds like a good idea Sissy. We can cook Kurt one of our famous meals. That is if he wants to come."
"Of course I want to come," Kurt said, "Why else do you think I got my parents to let me leave the house."
Cassidy smiled, "Yay! Kurt is going to meet my kitten!"
"Well it looks like it's going to be a fun night then," Kurt said looking at Blaine.
"Yeah it looks like it might be," Blaine laughed.
Kurt and Cassidy were sitting on the floor playing with Stormy. "He is an adorable kitten," Kurt said scratching under the small cat's chin.
"I think he acts a lot like you," Cassidy said.
Blaine laughed from inside the kitchen, "And why do you say that?" Kurt asked lifting an eyebrow.
Cassidy shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, he just does."
"Interesting," Kurt said and turned towards the kitchen, "I sure hope that snickering wasn't directed towards your sister's comment."
Blaine smiled as he held a spoon in the air, "Now why would you think that?" he grinned, "Alright who wants to help me with the making of this divine meal?"
Cassidy jumped up scaring the little cat and making it run away to hide, "I do! I do! Oops," she giggled, "I scared Stormy away."
"He is probably fine," Kurt said, "Now how much help do you need?"
"I believe I will need the help of two wonderful volunteers," Blaine said holding his arms open.
Cassidy ran and hugged his legs, "I love helping you cook." She smiled up at him and then turned around, "Come on Kurt, you have to help too."
Kurt stood up from the floor, "Right, and how shall I help prepare the meal?"
"You can start by mixing and kneading that dough," Blaine said pointing to the bowl of ingredients.
"Oh I'm just here for physical labor," Kurt rolled his eyes.
Blaine laughed, "Yes that is it. Now knead my good sir."
Kurt saluted him, "Right away sir."
Cassidy started laughing, "You two are funny."
"Well I suppose I can share the funny," Blaine said dramatically.
Cassidy giggled, "Wait if Kurt is kneading the dough, then that means we are making pizza!"
"Yes it does," Blaine said tapping her on the nose with flour.
Cassidy opened her mouth to a little round o, "Blaine Michael Anderson."
Kurt stifled a laugh, "She said your full name," then he looked at Blaine, "Your middle name is Michael?"
Cassidy poked him in the belly, "How dare you," what Blaine didn't see was that she grabbed a handful of flour and then threw it at him.
Blaine stood next to her, "Oh you little," he picked her up and then flour flung around and landed on Kurt.
The siblings stopped and looked at him, "Now you know what that means," Kurt said grabbing some flour and throwing it at them.
The trio got into a flour fight throwing it at one another until they were a mess. "I think we should make our pizza and then get cleaned up," Blaine suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea," Kurt nodded.
They proceeded to make there pizza and Kurt learned all about what else Cassidy got for Christmas. She then stopped and looked at Blaine, "I didn't get you anything for Christmas," she said alarmed, "Oh my gosh!"
"It's alright Cassidy," Blaine said, but his sister was going crazy worried about not getting her brother a present, "Cassidy come here," he finally said picking her up and sitting her down in her lap.
"But I didn't get you a present," Cassidy said almost crying.
"You didn't have to sweetie," Blaine said kissing her head, "Just seeing you happy on Christmas was enough for me and that Christmas wish you read at your concert. That was the greatest gift anyone has ever given me."
"But I really wanted to get you something," Cassidy said sadly.
"I have an idea," Kurt said, "How about I take you shopping and we'll get Blaine a present then."
Blaine shook his head, "You really don't have to..."
"Really?" Cassidy asked excitedly.
Blaine really found it hard to say no, when she looked adorable with flour in her hair, "I mean I guess if Kurt really wants to do it..."
Cassidy jumped out of Blaine's lap and into Kurt's, "Thank you!" she said kissing his cheek.
"Well you're welcome," Kurt smiled.
The timer went off, "I believe that means our pizza is ready," Blaine said standing up and walking over to the oven. The pizza was cooked to perfection. They had a picnic on the floor and watched Anastasia because even though it wasn't a Disney movie, Cassidy said it was one of her favorites.
"Come on Cassidy," Blaine said standing up, "You need to be rinsed off and get ready for bed."
Cassidy looked up at Blaine, "But I'm not tired and Kurt's here."
"He is," Blaine nodded, "But you still have to go to bed."
"Alright," Cassidy stood up slowly, "Let's get this over with," she started walking to the bathroom.
"I swear she is acting more like you every day," Kurt commented.
Blaine gave him a look, "You can just wait in here while I...you don't have to do that."
Kurt started picking up the plates, "Nonsense, I will help clean the dishes while you clean the child. Go on now," he said shooing him away.
Blaine laughed, "Fine, but I will come and help afterwards."
"Fine by me," Kurt said taking the stack of plates to the kitchen.
Cassidy took her shower and then got her pajamas on. She brushed her teeth and gave Kurt a kiss goodnight because he hadn't left yet. Blaine tucked Cassidy in her bed, "And what would you like to read this evening?" he asked her.
Cassidy thought for a moment, "I'll read that one," she said pointing to one of her easy to read chapter books.
"Alright, happy reading," Blaine said kissing her on the head and leaving her to read her book. He ran a hand through is hair and discovered there was still a lot of flour in it. "If you want to rinse off your hair you welcome too," Blaine said, "We have extra towels and I can loan you a shirt or something if you want."
"Okay," Kurt said, "I mean I guess you don't like the new flour look," he teased.
Blaine smiled, "I like it, but you know it makes it look like gray hair on me."
"I'm sure you will look wonderful with gray hair," Kurt teased.
"Oh you think so," Blaine smiled.
"Yeah, and I can't wait to find out," Kurt said and then froze, because he realized he just said something that he didn't mean to say.
"How about we go have that talk after we rinse our hair?" Blaine said.
Kurt nodded, "Yeah, just to make sure nothing else embarrassing comes out of my mouth."
Blaine stopped Kurt's hand that was drying the plate, "Don't be embarrassed around me okay, I'm sure Cassidy and I have done numerous things on occasions that have already set that bar."
Kurt laughed, "I guess so."
"You go rinse your hair," Blaine said taking the towel, "I'll finish this, the towels are in cabinet under the sink."
"Alright," Kurt left and went into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror, he did still have a good amount of flour on him. He took his used to be black shirt off and folded it neatly setting it on the back of the toilet.
Starting the water and leaning over the tub to rinse his hair. He found it a bit more difficult then he thought it would be. After he was satisfied with his hair cleaning, he grabbed a towel and then dried his hair. He realized that Blaine didn't give him a shirt, he opened the door and found a hoodie sitting outside of the door. Kurt smiled to himself before pulling it on over his head and grabbing his shirt while putting the towel in the small hamper he saw.
Kurt knew his hair must look awful with no product in it, "I hope it fits," Blaine said looking around the corner, "It is big on me."
"It fits fine," Kurt said tugging on the sweatshirt, he read Dalton on the front, "I like it."
Blaine smiled, "Great, I'll just quickly run through the shower," he said rocking on his feet, "I'll be right back."
Kurt gave him a nod and sat down on the couch waiting patiently for him. He figured he should check his phone since he hadn't once his dad gave him the okay to stay over at Blaine's house for dinner.
Kurt saw he didn't have many messages. He had one from Rachel asking about the applications they were filling out and one from Finn asking him about one of the products he used on his hair. He quickly texted them back and then he looked to his left seeing Blaine walking around the corner tugging his shirt on while wearing a pair of pajama pants.
Kurt saw Blaine and instantly went red, he had just seen Blaine almost half naked, "Is something wrong?" Blaine asked touching Kurt's shoulder making him jump.
"No," Kurt said quickly, "Is Cassidy asleep?"
"Yeah, I found her with her book on her chest and fast asleep," Blaine said sitting down next to Kurt, "I guess we should talk about this now."
"Yep," Kurt nodded. They both looked at each other and were about to talk, "You go first."
"No you," Blaine insisted.
"This isn't getting us anywhere," Kurt said tugging on the bottom of the hoodie he was wearing.
"I think I have a better way," Blaine said. Kurt looked over at him as if to ask him what, but Blaine moved closer to him bringing there lips together once again.
Kurt pulled away slightly and rested his forehead on Blaine's, "I think I really like you."
Blaine smiled, "I really like you too."
"We can make this work," Kurt said.
"I just want you to know that it's just not me," Blaine said moving away, "I mean I know you are already close to Cassidy, but..."
"Blaine stop," Kurt took Blaine's hand, "I love Cassidy and I know you are a packaged deal," he smiled, "But I can't help the way I feel about you."
Blaine smiled and squeezed his hand, "I can't really either, but you...you're moving to New York in the summer."
"I am," Kurt said sadly, "But Blaine you are here right now and I don't want to just sit here and be your friend anymore. I don't know if my heart can take that."
"I like the plan of living in the here and now," Blaine leaned closer.
"I like that plan as well," Kurt said leaning in, "Now I think I'm going to kiss you again."
"I would very much like that," Blaine laughed.
Kurt closed the gap between them and bringing there lips together once again. He slowly pushed Blaine back and they laid on the couch together, "I know it's silly, but Blaine Anderson would you do the honor of being my boyfriend?" he asked resting his chin on Blaine's chest.
"Absolutely Kurt Hummel," Blaine smiled, "Absolutely," he pulled Kurt closer to him to kiss him once again.
The new couple just cuddled up on the couch and not caring about a thing. Kurt had pulled a blanket over them, "I should get home."
"You should," Blaine said.
"I'm pretty comfy though," Kurt commented.
Blaine let out a small laugh and brushed Kurt's hair out of his face, "I like seeing you not all done up."
Kurt let out a small gasp, "What ever do you mean?" He smiled, "But I know what you mean, I like seeing your curls freshly washed. I still don't understand why you gel them down so much."
Blaine tried to shrug, "It's just something I've done for a while now. To tell you the truth I used to use a lot more then I do now."
Kurt giggled, "I see," he shifted himself, so his legs slid between Blaine's legs, "That's better," he sighed and laid his head on Blaine's chest closing his eyes.
"What about you going home?" Blaine asked.
"Shhh," Kurt shushed, "Sleepy time now," he wrapped his arms around Blaine.
Blaine kissed the top of his head, "Really though, I know you and I know you don't want to wake up here and have nothing with you in the morning."
Kurt lifted his head and squinted his eyes, "You do know me to well."
"Come on," Blaine said, "I'll even let you keep the hoodie."
"But I don't want to take your hoodie," Kurt said, "Even if it does smell like you. And it's awfully warm. I may keep it for a little while."
Blaine smiled, "That's fine," he said touching Kurt's face.
Kurt finally sat up and Blaine now understood, "I'm cold now," he whined.
Kurt laughed, "Oh shush you. You are the one telling me to go."
"Only because I know you," Blaine smiled sitting up. Kurt stood up and stretched his arms over his head making a sighing noise.
Blaine grinning made him nervous, "What?" Kurt asked.
"Nothing," Blaine said standing up, "Come on, your dad is probably waiting for you to get home too."
"I swear you are kicking me out," Kurt said as Blaine handed him his coat.
"Nah," Blaine shook his head.
Kurt buttoned his coat and Blaine grabbed the collar bringing him in for a kiss. When Kurt finally pulled away, "Well if I leave and get that every time I think I may just have to keep coming back."
"I think you should," Blaine smiled.
Kurt grabbed his keys from his pocket, "I had a lovely time tonight making the pizza and playing with the Stormageddon."
"Oh yes," Blaine nodded, "Our little cat of doom."
Kurt leaned in and kissed Blaine on the cheek, "I'll text you when I get home."
"I'll be waiting then," Blaine said opening the door.
"Bye," Kurt said slipping out and pulling the coat closer around himself.
Blaine waved, "Bye," he said and watched Kurt walk down the stairs. Blaine gently closed the door and leaned on it smiling. He had a boyfriend. Blaine Anderson who has been pushed around and told no by almost everyone in his life, has a boyfriend. The boy who thought his world was going to completely give out on him and then he found the perfect man to help him through it. He had to admit, before he never really believed in wishing from all the times he had and nothing came true, but with Kurt and Cassidy now it felt like all of his wishes were coming true.
"I want to wear my princess dress," Cassidy said crossing her arms.
"Sweetie, are you sure?" Blaine asked her, "I mean we are going to Kurt's house for a party."
"I want to wear my princess dress," Cassidy repeats.
Blaine stood up from the floor of his sister's room, "I'm telling you that I don't think it's a good idea for you to wear your princess dress is all."
"But it's a party and I want to look nice," Cassidy stomped her foot.
"I understand that Cassidy I really do," Blaine picked up some of the shirts on the floor, "But I don't think it's a good idea to wear your princess dress because you might get something on it."
"I want to wear my princess dress," Cassidy said louder.
Blaine breathed in and out, "No. You are not wearing your princess dress."
Cassidy looked up at Blaine with tears in her eyes, "I want to wear my princess dress."
"No," Blaine said, "You can wear either of these two dresses," he pointed at the two on the bed. Now I will be waiting for you in the living room after you get dressed." He walked out into the hall leaving the door open.
Blaine groaned to himself as he sat down on the couch, putting his head between his knees. Hearing his phone go off he grabbed it and hit the button, "Hello," he said with defeat.
"Is something wrong?" Kurt asked on the other end.
Blaine sat up and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Cassidy is just arguing with me over what to wear is all."
"I'm sorry about that," Kurt responded.
Blaine then heard a loud noise, "That can't be good."
"What is it?" Kurt asked.
"I don't know, I should go though," Blaine said, "I'll hopefully see you soon. Bye," he hung up the phone before Kurt could answer and he walked towards Cassidy's room. He saw a mess, every stuffed animal on the floor and clothes thrown about, "Cassidy," Blaine said quietly, "Is it out of your system yet?"
Cassidy looked up from where she standing breathing heavily, "I want to wear my princess dress."
Blaine shook his head, "No. I already told you no."
"I need to wear my princess dress," Cassidy pleaded.
"You don't need to, you just want to," Blaine said, "Cassidy you scared Stormy into the bathroom and he hasn't come out since."
Cassidy sat on her bed, "I just want to wear my princess dress."
Blaine sighed and walked over to sit down next to his sister, "I know that Sissy, but for tonight can you please just wear a different dress."
Cassidy thought it over and Blaine saw the emotions on her face, "Fine," she huffed picking the dark blue dress with a red ribbon around the waist that Kurt helped them pick out one afternoon.
"Alright," Blaine stood up running a hand through his hair, "Just get changed and you will have to clean this mess up before we go."
Cassidy looked at Blaine wide eyed, "But..."
"No buts," Blaine said, "You made the mess and now you clean it. I don't care if you were mad."
Cassidy looked at her brother, "Fine." She went to work before changing into her dress.
"Just do the best you can," Blaine said, "I'll be waiting in the living room." He left Cassidy in her room and saw Kurt had texted him. He instantly felt bad about hanging up on him. He quickly called him and when he heard Kurt pick up he instantly apologized, "I'm sorry Kurt, I didn't mean to do that," he pleaded, "Cassidy just started throwing her stuff around and I..." he sat down on the couch, "Sometimes I don't know if I can do it by myself."
Kurt sighed on the other end, "Well you're lucky you have me then."
Blaine gave a small smile, "I suppose. I am really sorry about that."
"Its fine," Kurt said, "I figured Cassidy was doing something. I have been hung up on before."
"I know," Blaine said rubbing his eyes, "What was it you were calling about earlier?"
"My parents just wanted to make sure you were still coming," Kurt said, "I'm just hiding in my room until then, Carole gets a bit crazy when we have guests over."
"You would think you would want to help," Blaine said.
"Oh I do," Kurt sighed, "But she usually tells me I'm doing something wrong or I tell her she is doing something wrong. It's quite counter productive."
Blaine let out a laugh, "I can totally see that."
"Yeah," Kurt said rolling over on his bed, "Besides, I get to talk on the phone with my boyfriend instead."
Blaine smiled, "Yeah, I suppose you do."
"I like saying that," Kurt said quietly.
"I like it when you say it," Blaine said playing with a loose thread on the couch, he heard shuffling behind him, "Just a second."
"Okay," Kurt sighed happily.
"I'm ready now," Cassidy said peeking around the corner.
Blaine turned around, "And you look beautiful," he smiled.
Cassidy walked up to him and gave him a hug, "I'm sorry."
"It's alright," Blaine said.
"Who are you talking to?" Cassidy asked pointing to the phone.
"Kurt," Blaine said handing her the phone, "Tell him we are leaving soon, I just need to use the bathroom."
Blaine left Cassidy on the phone, "'Ello Kurt."
"Well hello there little lady," Kurt said making Cassidy giggle, "Now I hear you are coming to my house soon."
"I am," Cassidy nodded, "I am going to stay up the whole night."
Kurt laughed, "Sure, now are you two leaving soon?"
"Yes," Cassidy said, "As soon as Blaine gets out of the bathroom with Stormageddon."
"Why is Stormageddon in the bathroom?" Kurt asked her.
"He was scared," Cassidy said, "I should apologize to him too."
"Probably a good idea," Kurt said.
Blaine walked back into the living room, "Ready to go Munchkin?"
"Yep," Cassidy said handing Blaine his phone back.
"Didn't know you were still on," Blaine said.
"Yeah, but I'll let you go now," Kurt sat up on his bed.
Blaine nodded, "Okay, I'll see you in a few then."
"See you soon," Kurt said and Blaine knew he was smiling.
Blaine hung up the phone and sighed to himself as he watched Cassidy put on her coat. "Let me help you there," he said walking over and helping her find the sleeve, "Can I tell you something Sissy."
"Sure," Cassidy said as Blaine helped her put on her gloves.
"Remember when you said something about seeing Kurt and I kiss," Blaine said.
"Yep, it's because Kurt is your boyfriend," Cassidy said smiling at Blaine.
Blaine opened his mouth to say something, but stopped, "I think you are to smart for even me now."
Cassidy giggled, "I might be," she said tapping his nose.
"Alright you," Blaine stood up, "We need to get going or else we will be late for dinner."
"Away we go!" Cassidy said opening the door. Blaine put his own coat on and followed Cassidy out the door.
