Contrary to popular belief, Kurt Hummel has a short list of simple pleasures: fashion, personal hygiene, musical theater and most recently a Mr. Blaine Anderson. Today Kurt was going to be indulging in two of his favorite things because he was going shopping with Blaine. The feeling that Kurt got when walking into his favorite clothing store was nothing short of ecstasy. He could hardly contain himself as he touched the cold metal hangers as they hung stiff on the rack. Kurt closed his eyes and submersed himself in the sheer excitement that washed over his body. The sound of a hanger sliding across the bar sent tingles down his spine. Kurt was so intoxicated from this sound that he did not realize Blaine has been on the phone since they entered the store.

"Kurt…"

"Hmm?" Was the only response the fashionista could muster.

"Babe…"

This endearing pet name broke Kurt from his fashion spell. "Uhh, yes?" He turned towards his boyfriend.

Blaine shifted his weigh uneasily. "I am going to have to cut our date short tonight." Blaine was trying really hard to avoid eye contact with him.

Kurt cocked his head to the side. "Why, what is going on?"

"It is my sisters birthday dinner tonight and my parents want me home." Blaine finally caught Kurt's eyes. He had a look of uneasiness mixed with a touch of sadness.

Kurt always knew that Blaine's family unit was a touchy subject and he knew to leave it alone. Seeing how uneasy he was just from a simple family dinner concerned Kurt greatly but he knew better than to ask questions. Kurt did not have the most perfect family environment but it definitely had been getting better since his Dad married Finn's Mom. They had become a blended family and Kurt was really starting to enjoy it. He did not want to pry into Blaine's private life but he hated seeing him this upset.

"How old is your sister turning?"

"She is going to be a sophomore this year. Today she is turning 15."

"Are you and your sister close?" Kurt returned his gaze to the rack of vests where he was currently planted.

"Oh, very! I just do not like family dinners very much. My sister and I went out yesterday. I took her to see Legally Blonde the Musical for the 8th time. She adores that show."

"At least you have some similar interests. All Finn and I have is Glee Club."

Blaine nodded. He moved his lips like he was trying to form words but gave up halfway through.

Kurt smiled at him. "So what is one dinner if it is going to be for her?"

Blaine just stood there, staring at Kurt. Kurt thought he say the sadness disappearing from his hazel eyes.

Kurt walked around the rack and grabbed Blaine's hand. "I know that talking about your family if difficult but I am here when you are ready." He kissed Blaine on the side of his mouth.

"Comewithme." Blaine said quickly before Kurt finished.

Kurt pulled back and looked at Blaine. "What?" I am hearing things.

Blaine shook his head as if shaking himself out of a daze. "Come to the dinner with me."

Kurt was curious to see the family that his beloved has hidden from him but he did not know what he was walking into.

"A-A-Are you sure?"

The corner of Blaine's mouth turned up into a smile. "Yeah! I think it would be more enjoyable if you came with me."

Kurt tried to contain his excitement. He was going to meet Blaine's parents and words suddenly escaped him. "Of course I will go with you." He breathed out.

Blaine gave a sigh of relief. "Great."

"Well since, I am meeting your parents; I have a good excuse for a new outfit." Kurt said with a sing-song voice.

Blaine laughed. "You are adorable."

Kurt squeezed his hand and then returned to the vest rack.

Kurt checked himself in the cars vanity mirror 12 times before they even got off the freeway. The short trip felt like an eternity. Kurt swore his stomach was flipping over and over inside of him. Blaine put his hand on Kurt's knee. "I promise you that you still look great. Stop looking into that thing."

Kurt closed it and turned toward Blaine. "I am getting nervous. I have never done this before, the whole meeting the parent's thing."

"You will be great." Blaine sat up straighter in his chair without moving his hand from Kurt's knee. "My mother and sister will love you. My sister especially."

"How could they not, I am pretty fabulous." Kurt said as he put his hand on top of Blaine's. The young warbler did not respond. He rubbed Blaine's hand with his thumb before returning his gaze to the passenger window. He readjusted the bouquet he had purchased for Blaine's sister in his lap.

Soon they pulled off the main road and began driving by some large lavish homes. Kurt's eyes widened. "This is where you live? I have always dreamed of living in a place like this."

Blaine watched him silently as Kurt excitedly pointed out every house in the neighborhood that he wanted to live in and what he liked about them. Kurt turned back to him and saw the blank expression on his face. "You have been quiet this whole trip. I feel like I have been talking a mile a minute over here."

"Just thinking about my Dad, I have never brought anyone home to meet them. He is a nice guy; don't get me wrong, he is still dealing with the fact that I am gay. I just hope he doesn't cause a scene."

Cause a scene rang in his ears. Kurt's heart fell into his stomach. Would this visit make things worse for him at home? Kurt jerked his hand off of Blaine's making Blaine turn towards him. "You do not have to tell them we are dating."

Blaine squeezed his leg. "Babe, I am crazy about you. I would not be able to hide that from them."

Kurt felt the blood rush into his cheeks. He quickly covered them with his hands. He could not believe that he was that into him. His head screamed Say something you idiot. "Good because I am crazy about you too." How eloquent Hummel!

Blaine pulled into the driveway of a grand white house. Four large white columns adorned the front entrance. The lawn and surrounding bushes were well taken care of which gave Kurt the feeling that it was straight out of a movie. His father, god love him, was not much of a gardener and would have Finn mow the lawn once a week the make their humble home appear decent. Kurt had never seen something so grand before. He gazed up at the house with his mouth slightly hanging open. Blaine took two fingers and pushed up on his chin to close Kurt's mouth. He let out a deep laugh. "I take it that you like it."

Kurt turned to Blaine, wide eyed. "Like it? I love it! This house is something out of a dream. I-I-I use to fantasize about homes like this, I can not believe you live in one!"

"I love how high pitched your voice gets when you are excited."

Kurt smiled back before quickly pulling down the vanity mirror one last time. He flattened some of his hair down that was already hair sprayed to perfection but Kurt felt the need to "fix it". He couldn't get out of the car without touching up.

"Ready to go?" Blaine removed his seat belt and took the keys out of the ignition.

Kurt inhaled deeply. This will go well. You will knock their socks off. There is no reason to be nervous. "Ready as I'll ever be." He responded shakily and gave Blaine a weak smile.

Blaine got out of the car and made his way onto Kurt's side where he opened his door for him. Kurt was surprised by this gesture.

"Always the Prince Charming aren't you?"

"I try." Blaine held out his hand to Kurt.

Kurt looked down at it before slowly extending his own. I am meeting the parents. This is huge. Calm down Kurt. You need to calm down. Otherwise you are going to sound like Mickey Mouse the whole night.

Blaine led him up the manicured lawn and up to two large wooden doors. Before Blaine could put his key in the door, it opened to reveal a dark haired girl on the other side. She had a striking resemblance to Blaine; she had the same hazel eyes, thick eyebrows and full lips. Her shoulder length dark brown hair spun itself into large curls that framed her pretty face. If he did not know any better, it was Blaine in a wig.

"Is this him?" She whispered to Blaine.

"The one and only." Blaine used his other hand to show off Kurt as it he was Vanna White. Kurt smacked his hand away when he did this.

The girl scanned Kurt up and down and then her mouth curled into a smile. "He's cute Blainey. How did you manage him?"

"Oh haha Maggie, didn't you know your brother was such a heartthrob?"

Kurt snorted.

Maggie laughed. "Please! Heartthrob my ass." She turned her body towards Kurt. "How much does he pay you to pretend to be his boyfriend?"

"Enough out of you Maggie! Can we come in already?" Blaine was the one blushing now. He pushed his sister aside but she stood her ground.

Kurt could not contain his laughter. He has never seen this side of Blaine. Who would have thought that all it would take was a 15 year old girl to put him in his place.

Maggie stepped aside letting Kurt and Blaine through. Blaine let go of Kurt's hand but then placed it on his lower back.

"Kurt meet Margaret, my annoying yet lovable little sister." He rolled his eyes.

Maggie mocked a curtsy. "How do you do?"

"Happy Birthday Margaret." Kurt responded while holding out a large bouquet of flowers that he had picked for her.

"Eww, call me Maggie. Margaret is such a hideous name. Thank you for the flowers. At least someone knows what I like." Maggie shot an angry look at her brother who threw up his arms in anguish.

Kurt brought one hand to this mouth to hide the fact that he was laughing so hard at Blain's expense.

"Where are Mom and Dad?" Blaine asked while leaning back and forth on his heels trying to look for them.

"Mom is in the kitchen. Dad uhhh… watching the game in his room. I think."

"Perfect." Blaine turned to Kurt. "Would you like a tour?"

Kurt smiled widely. "Of course."

Blaine gently pushed Kurt with the hand that was on his lower back. Kurt walked in front of him and Blaine led him from behind.

-----

Blaine led Kurt into the last room on his quick mini tour which was his room. Blaine closed the door behind them. Kurt walked around the room as if he was in an art gallery. The room was a navy blue and was very clean. A large Dalton pendant hung on one of the walls. A large bookshelf held awards, various books and sheet music. A keyboard and guitar sat in a corner under a large corkboard with pictures of the Warblers pinned to it. A large bed took most of the space in the room and the thing that caught Kurt's attention the most was a large picture of the two of them from the party Mr. Shue had thrown for them after they came back from New York. They were holding hands and Kurt had his head on Blaine's shoulder. Kurt had never seen this picture before and did not even know it was taken.

Blaine walked up behind him and put his hands on Kurt's hips and hissed the back of his neck.

"Who took this picture?"

Blaine put his chin on Kurt's shoulder. "Your brother."

Kurt spun around. "Finn? You got this from Finn?"

Blaine took the picture from Kurt and tossed it on his bed. He then returned his hands to Kurt's hips. "He took a few. That was my favorite. He sent them all to me after the party. He's a good guy."

Kurt slowly put his arms around Blaine's neck. "Sly devil. I had no idea."

Blaine kissed the inside of Kurt's arms and when Blaine got to his elbow, Kurt then leaned forward and kissed him. Blaine moved his hands up onto Kurt's back when he did this, pulling him closer. Kurt wrapped his arms tighter around his neck and Blaine deepened the kiss. Blaine dug his fingertips into Kurt's back and Kurt moaned against his mouth.

Suddenly there was a quick knock on the door and then it began to slowly open. Kurt pushed Blaine away from him and Blaine quickly wiped his mouth. Kurt inhaled sharply anticipating who was about to walk in.
