Kurt pushed his way towards his locker, apologizing if he accidently bumped into someone. Winter break was over and they were back at school. One thing Kurt was excited about was getting to see Blaine everyday. Although he was worried because he knew many of his classmates wouldn't be accepting of them.
Kurt wondered if someone would do something to them if they even tried holding hands walking down the hallway. He personally didn't feel like that was fair though. He watches as couples hold hands all the time. Then he wondered if Blaine was even the hand holding type. Well they did go to the mall over break after they had gotten together and held hands.
Kurt was pulled from his thoughts when he looked and saw Blaine walking towards him with a sleepy smile on his face. Kurt couldn't help but smile back, "Hey you."
Blaine reached up and rubbed one of his eyes yawning in the process, "Sorry," he finally said stretching, "We had a long morning. Cassidy refused to wake up and then I had to push her out the door with her complaining about how she thinks Stormageddon should come to school with one of us because he will get lonely being at home so long by himself."
Kurt reached over and brushed the hairs near Blaine's forehead, "Sounds like you had a busy morning then." Blaine just nods at him. "Well luckily for you Rachel was also running a bit late this morning...there she is."
"Morning boys," Rachel smiled at them, "Here you are Kurt, one medium drip and one grande non-fat mocha," she handed Kurt his drink and then Blaine the other, "Figured it was for you when he text me this morning."
"Thank you," Kurt smiles at her, "Such a wonderful friend."
"You didn't have to do that Rachel," Blaine said smelling the coffee and instantly wanting to hug Rachel now.
Rachel laughs, "It was nothing. I'll see you two later." She walked away leaving the boys to sip there coffee as they started walking down the hall.
"Thanks," Blaine says with a small smile.
"You're welcome," Kurt smiled back while taking another sip of his coffee, "I remembered what it was like as a little kid and returning from a school break. I figured she would be giving you hard time this morning."
They walked into there first class together, "I guess I'm lucky to have a boyfriend like you then," Blaine says as he gives Kurt the slightest touch on his wrist and sits down in his seat.
Kurt knows it's just a touch on the wrist, but he understands how Blaine might be a bit hesitant to show affections at school. They both know what it's like to be ridiculed for just wanting to love another person.
They both sat down in there seats and the teacher began class. They were introduced to a new novel and another project that would shortly follow it. Blaine looked over and gave Kurt a smile.
Kurt knew even though they wouldn't show there affections as much as others in the school, he knew Blaine was still his and they would have each other.
Later in the day, Blaine and Kurt were already sitting at the lunch table as everyone else started joining them. They were talking quietly to one another about there novel for there class.
"Kurt, it's your turn to do the dishes tonight," Finn said shoving his sandwich in his mouth.
Kurt looked over at him and rolled his eyes, "No it's not, I did them last night."
Finn shook his head, "Nope, sorry I have practice."
Kurt groaned, "And this is why I don't think it's fair we have the system we do." Blaine laughed from his seat. "And you think it's funny."
"Well," Blaine thinks for a second, "It sort of is."
"And how is it funny?" Kurt asked crossing his arms across his chest.
Now everyone at the table was looking at Blaine. He wasn't expecting that, but this was sort of a couple initiation, arguing in front of there friends. "Well I'm just saying," he starts, "I mean Cassidy and I do the dishes ourselves almost everyday. And we sometimes make a game out of it."
Kurt looks at him and there friend all stare at him, "I guess I will have to invite you guys over to do my dishes then," he shrugs and goes back to his lunch.
Blaine gives a small sigh and Rachel looks at him with a smile. "Oh, my dad's wanted to invite you and Cassidy over to our house one night," she said excitedly.
"Really?" Blaine asks.
"Yeah, Kurt you were also invited," Rachel explains, "They loved you guys together."
"That sounds like fun," Blaine looks over at Kurt for his expression.
Kurt nods, "Yeah, your dads are always inviting me to come over."
Blaine smiles and is excited that he and Kurt are actually being invited somewhere as a couple. And then Cassidy being invited too, just makes him grin even bigger.
"What are you all smiley about?" Puck grunted at him.
Blaine smiles, "Nothing, just happy is all."
Kurt looks over at him and squeezes Blaine's hand with his own, which are laced together underneath the table.
"They say we are going to get at least a foot of snow," Finn said excitedly from his seat in the choir room.
"Finn, we never get the snow they say we are," Kurt says to him while he sits down in the chair beside him.
"You never know Kurt," Tina smiles, "We did get that snow day two years ago." Kurt gives her a look, "Alright you have a point."
Mr. Schuester starts the class and they started reviewing songs they wanted to sing for Regionals.
The door to the choir room opened and Cassidy ran inside, "Kurt!" she shouts and jumps in his arms.
"Well hello to you," Kurt smiles and kisses her head.
Blaine poked his head in the door and walked into the room, "Sorry about that," he blushed.
"We were just finishing up," Mr. Schuester smiled at him, "Nice to see you again Blaine."
"Good to see you too," Blaine says walking over to Kurt who sat Cassidy down in the seat beside him.
"...and he took a frog out of the box," Cassidy talked excitedly, "And it started hopping around the room." Kurt's eyes widened as the little girl told the story listening intently.
Blaine smiled, "And my sis was the only girl that didn't run away," he tickled her side.
"That's right," Cassidy smiled and gave a nod.
"My my, that's some story," Kurt smiled.
Finn jumped up after Rachel had whispered something in his ear, "I think I have idea," he said walked over and whispered something in Mr. Schuester's ear. Mr. Schuester smiled and patted his back, "Go ahead."
"Hey dude," Finn said pulling on Puck's arm and tilting his head towards the music equipment, "Come on, let's do that one song we talked about earlier," he said to everyone.
All of the New Directions stood up and went to the front of the classroom. Mr. Schuester sat down next to Blaine. Cassidy crawled into Blaine's lap while she watched the teenagers huddle and discuss what they were going to do.
"What's going on?" Cassidy asked.
"They want to sing you a song," Mr. Schuester says to her, "It's a good one."
Cassidy giggled and put her hands in her lap. Blaine smiled as he looked down at his sister and kissed the top of her head. He looked up and saw Kurt was looking at him and smiling.
Finn counted off and Puck began playing the guitar he had. Finn came in and started playing the drums. He started singing the first verse.
While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
Finn nodded over to Artie, who started singing the next verse. Cassidy smiled as she watched them sing there song.
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an Idol singer
Remember Winger
I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life
Rachel smiles and starts singing along with him.
But I'm afraid when I hear stories
About a husband and wife
There's no happy endings
No Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me
Rachel pointed to Blaine and Cassidy who were both smiling and clapping along. Blaine was silently singing along. The group started singing the chorus all together.
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That's enough for me
Kurt and Mercedes walked over and pulled Blaine and Cassidy from there seats towards the group at the front. Kurt pulled Blaine close to him and they started dancing together.
Took a loan on a house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy ya everything
Except cologne
'cause it's poison
We can travel to Spain
where the rain falls mainly on the plain
Sounds insane
'cause it is we can laugh we can sing
Have ten kids and give them everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face
Blaine looked over and saw that Cassidy was now dancing around the room with Sam. He smiled as she was laughing.
Kurt whispered in his ear, "We want you to sing too." Blaine gave him a look, but ignored the comment as they kept dancing around singing.
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That's enough for me
Kurt nodded towards Blaine who looked confused for a moment and then realized they really wanted him to sing. Everyone was looking at him and he decided to join in with them.
You can move in
I won't ask where you've been
'cause everybody has a past
When we're older
We'll do it all over again
Kurt smiled and joined in singing with him. They were smiling at one another holding hands.
When everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whatever
Then the rest is just whatever
Everyone joined in altogether as they sang the song. Cassidy was singing along as she finally made her way back to Blaine.
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
They finished the song and Mr. Schuester was standing up and clapping, "Now that's what a real show choir sounds like. We still have that invitation open Blaine."
"Thanks," Blaine smiles at him.
Eventually they all gathered there things and were walking out of the classroom. "I'm heading over to Blaine's tonight," Kurt said to Finn as he pulled his bag on.
"Wanky," Santana said with a wink.
Blaine looked over at Santana and down at his sister, Cassidy's face scrunched in confusion, "What's wanky?"
"Oh-nothing," Blaine said quickly, "Santana was just kidding. That's a word you don't need to say."
Kurt was giving her a look. "What the kid is going to be introduced to it somewhere," and Santana grabbed Brittany's hand pulling her out of the room.
Blaine lets out a small laugh and Kurt stares at him, "What?"
Kurt shakes his head, "Come on, we need to work on that reading project."
They walked outside and there was already snow falling down around them. "Look it's snowing," Cassidy smiled as she pulled on Blaine's hand.
"Woah," Blaine said pulling his sister closer to him, "We're still in the parking lot and you have to hold my hand."
Finn watched as Cassidy groaned, but stayed next to Blaine. He wondered how Blaine could act like such a parent like figure to Cassidy, but she still treats him like her brother. He knows the story of how their parents died, and Blaine took Cassidy away from their Uncle's house, but he really wonders what it's like to have everything taken away from you and starting over like Blaine did.
"Are you alright Finn?" Blaine asked who now had his sister up on his shoulders.
"Fine," Finn smiles at him, "Just wanted to let you know that that invitation is still open for Glee club."
"Thanks Finn," Blaine smiled at him, "Alright say goodbye to Finn," he said to his sister.
Cassidy waved over at Finn, "Bye," she smiled.
"See you later kid," Finn said as he waved back. Finn left them, by jumping in his own truck and driving away.
"Do you think we will be able to play outside in the snow?" Cassidy asked excitedly while tugging on Blaine's hair as they walked to his car.
"Not sure," Blaine shrugged, "Depends on how much snow we get."
"Okay," Cassidy said closing her eyes and concentrating hard.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked her as they walked up to Blaine's car.
Cassidy stood there with his eyes closed as she scrunched her face, "Trying to wiggle my nose."
"Why are you trying to wiggle your nose?" Kurt asked her as Blaine opened the back door for her to get in. He then lifted her off his shoulders and set her down on the ground.
"Because whenever Stormy wants his food he wiggles his nose and he gets his wish," Cassidy said simply, "And if he gets a wish by wiggling his nose I am too."
Kurt tried to hide his laughter as Cassidy climbed into the car. He looked over at Blaine who just gave him a shrug, "I just go with it."
"I can tell," Kurt says laughing a little as he opens the passenger door. Blaine gets in on the driver's side. "So little girl, what do you want to listen to on the way home?"
Blaine smiled as Kurt and Cassidy interacted with one another. They were talking about Aladdin, which was the soundtrack Cassidy had chosen to listen too. He started the car and started driving down the road.
Kurt eventually reached over and took one of Blaine's hands in his lacing there fingers together. They were silent the rest of the ride back to Blaine and Cassidy's apartment. It was still snowing and was sticking to the ground.
Blaine parked in a spot and they climbed out of the car. "Look Blaine," Cassidy jumped up and down excitedly, "It's still snowing."
"It is," Blaine nodded as he grabbed his backpack from the trunk of the car, "You never know how much is going to fall."
"We could get a snow day?" Cassidy asked tugging on Blaine's jacket.
"You never know Sissy," Blaine said reaching out his hand for Cassidy to take.
Kurt took her other hand, "Do you like to play in the snow?"
Cassidy nodded her head as they walked to the building kicking the snow off their shoes, "I love making snowmen and throwing snowballs at Blainey."
Kurt laughed, "I guess I would like that too."
Blaine gave him a look, "Alright you're doing it again."
"Doing what?" Kurt asked with a smile.
Blaine smiled as he shook his head, "Oh nothing," he said as he slid his key into the lock, "Nothing at all."
They all walked into the small apartment taking off their heavy outer clothes. Cassidy kicked her boots off, "Blainey what are we eating for dinner?"
"Not sure yet," Blaine said hanging his coat on the back of one of the chairs, "I'll have to take a look to see what we got." He grabbed her backpack, "Do you have any homework?"
Cassidy shook her head, "No."
Kurt looked on at the brother and sister. He couldn't help but smile at the sight of how in sync they were with each other.
Blaine's face scrunched in confusion as he took a note out of Cassidy's Take Home folder from school. It had her name written on by the teacher and it was folded in half stapled to hide what was inside. "Sissy, what is this?" he asked.
Cassidy shrugged her shoulders and Blaine opened the note to read it. His eyes scanned the page and Kurt wondered if something was wrong. "Is something wrong at Cassidy's school?" he asked walking towards him.
"Cassidy," Blaine cleared his throat, "If you want to change your shirt now you can."
"Okay," Cassidy said as she walked down to her room.
"And check to make sure Stormy has food too," Blaine called out.
"Okay!" Cassidy repeated yelling from her bedroom.
Blaine turned towards Kurt and showed him the note in his hands. Kurt read over the note. It stated how Cassidy was having trouble in school concentrating and getting her work down. The teacher wants to have a parent teacher conference. Kurt bit his bottom lip, "It isn't so bad."
Blaine put his head in his hands, "I..." and then he started crying.
Kurt took a step towards him and wrapped his arms around him, "What's wrong?" Kurt asked quietly.
"I just..." Blaine cried, "I thought she was okay with this. I just screwed everything up."
"No," Kurt said kissing the top of his head, "You didn't do anything wrong. All kids go through something like this. She may just need to have a conversation about paying attention in school."
Blaine nodded his head slowly, "Okay, you're probably right."
"Alright, come on," Kurt tapped his back, "Let's make some dinner and then start working on that literature project."
