"Hey Mom." Blaine turned around and walked toward her.

She pulled him into a hug and kissed him on the cheek.

"Mom, this is Kurt."

The woman turned her head towards Kurt. "Hello, nice to meet you dear." She then approached Kurt with her arms spread open. She pulled him into a tight embrace. Kurt gave into the hug and hugged the petite woman tightly.

"I didn't hear you come in Blaine." A deep voice said from the hallway. A tall man entered the room next. He had dark wavy and a full beard that was speckled with gray.

"He has brought company over Richard." Blaine's mother said while finally releasing Kurt from their hug.

"I'm Kurt sir. Kurt Hummel. Nice to meet you." Kurt stuck his hand out wearily in the effort to shake hands with him.

Richard took his hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you Kurt. Do you go to Dalton?"

"Used to." Blaine interjected. "That is where we met."

Richard shook his head and looked Kurt over. He had given most of his features to Blaine because Kurt could see the strong resemblance in his face. Their eyes, they had the same eyes. Richards were hidden behind glasses but they were just as striking as Blaine's. Kurt watched as Richard's eyes dragged themselves up and down his body. This sent a cold shiver down his spine.

"You are going to stay for dinner tonight won't you Kurt?" His mother asked while flattening her dress.

"Don't pressure the boy Nancy, he just met us." Something about this statement seemed cold as it left his lips.

Kurt laughed nervously. "No, no, I would love to stay. Thank you."

Richard's eyes burned holes into Kurt's forehead because Kurt was purposefully looking at Nancy, avoiding his eyes at all costs. Kurt heard him turn around and leave the room. He let out a small breath he did not know he was holding.

Blaine's mom smiled at him and then placed a hand on Kurt's cheek. "Such a handsome boy you are Kurt."

For the third time this evening, Kurt felt himself begin to blush. "Thank you Ms. Anderson."

She removed her hand from his face and put it on Blaine's shoulder. "I really should get back to the kitchen, I could use your help very quickly."

Blaine looked over to Kurt and before he could say anything Kurt responded, "I'll help!"

"Oh no dear, you are our guest." She tilted her head to the side and smiled sweetly.

"Really, I do not mind." Kurt insisted. He took a small step forward to go with them.

Blaine held a hand up to him. "She means it Kurt. You can hang with Maggie until I am done."

Kurt nodded. Blaine and his Mom left the room and Kurt followed. He remembered where Maggie's room was from the tour. Kurt stood outside her door. This is awkward. Do I just walk in? Kurt bit his bottom lip and slowly raised his hand to knock on the door. He let it fall back down by his side. This is weird; I will just wait in Blaine's room. Suddenly he heard music start to play. Kurt could instantly tell it was Disney. What is with this family and Disney songs? Kurt stood up straighter and raised his hand again and knocked on the door.

Maggie opened it just enough where she could look out. She was singling along to "Colors of the Wind". The look she gave Kurt gave him the feeling that she was not expecting him. "K-Kurt, uhh…what's up?"

"Your brother is helping your mom and they won't let me help. I heard music so I decided to visit."

"Yeah… sure." Maggie opened the door all of the way and invited him in. Her room was very different from Blaine's. Kurt stepped in and took a look around. Her walls were painted a soft lavender color with white trim. She had a desk that was full of school books and a stereo which her iPod was docked on. The floor was full of clothes, magazines and shoes. A large vanity caught Kurt's attention and he maneuvered his way over to it. It had the lights all the way around the mirror, just like the ones they have in theaters. Taped to the mirror were pictures of her friends and her. From the uniforms, Kurt could tell she attended Dalton's sister school for girls. There was a picture of Blaine that looked a couple years old. His hair was longer and his curls were free. Kurt really liked this look on him. Maggie started to pick up some clothes off the floor in the attempts to straighten up. Kurt noticed the bouquet of flowers he bought her were in a vase next to her bed.

"Do you like your school?" Kurt said while entranced by the picture of Blaine.

Maggie threw the clothes into a hamper. She hesitated before answering. "Not really."

Kurt turned toward her. "Why not?"

"I am bored there. I have great friends and great teachers but I want to sing in their choir." She said gloomily while throwing her shoes into her closet.

"Oh, your school has a glee club too." Kurt leaned up against the vanity.

Maggie nodded. "I really like to sing but I do not have the confidence that my brother has. They don't take me seriously at my school." Maggie sits down on her bed and brings her knees up to her chest. "They won't even give me a second chance after my first audition."

"What happened?" Kurt approached the bed and took a seat next to her.

"I choked. I totally froze. I could not even bring myself to sing a note." Her eyes began to swell up with tears. She picked up a pillow and held it against her chest.

"Well that isn't very fair. My glee club accepts everyone." Kurt handed her a tissue from the bed stand. "And I mean everyone."

Maggie sat up a bit and took the tissue from him. "I know Blaine told me about it. He has been telling me all about your school and the New Directions. Both of us have been truing to convince our parents to transfer us." She dabbed her eyes with the tissue.

"Transfer?" Kurt was caught off guard by this. Blaine wanted to transfer to his school? He had never mentioned it before. "Blaine wants to transfer?"

"Oh yeah. He has been trying to convince our parents for the longest time. Now he has me on board and I have been trying as well." She folded the tissue up in her hand.

"What have your parents said?" Kurt did not want to get his hopes up but having Blaine at his school would be amazing.

"They have not given their final decision but they have been skeptical. My Mom seems to just be worried about Blaine. She wants him to be safe. Being back in a public school after what happened is not something she is thrilled about. My Dad, has been quiet about the whole subject which is shocking. It is only a matter of time before he boils over."

Kurt's excitement slowly began to disappear as if a balloon was slowly deflating in his chest. He said he wouldn't get his hopes up but he was excited about the possibility and held onto that.

"My parents re hard on Blaine but they are not insensitive. Well, my Mom at least. I think they are beginning to crack."

"He must be very determined."

Maggie laughed. "Determined? He made a powerpoint last week."

Kurt felt himself get excited again but he tried to hold it down in his stomach but it felt like the balloon was slowly inflating again. "I-I just can't believe he would leave Dalton for…for…" Kurt couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence. Blaine would not just transfer for him. That is silly. He would want to join the Glee Club; they went to Nationals after all. That must be it, a shot at Nationals.

"For you." Maggie finished for him. She stretched her legs out on the bed.

Kurt looked at her because she said the words he couldn't say.

Maggie raised her eyebrow at him. "You are definitely a big factor you know that right? I am excited because then I can have what I wanted, a place to sing. I am so jealous of Blaine sometimes. He has such an amazing voice and can easily sing in front of people. I love to sing just as much as him, I may not be as good but I love it."

"Why don't you give me your audition? The one you did not get to have."

Maggie sucked in her lips.

Kurt leaned forward and put his hand on her arm. "I'll sing with you." He hopped off the bed and walked over to her iPod stereo. "Let's stick with Disney." He scrolled through her playlist.

"Reflection, put reflection on."

Kurt could not help but smile. "Reflection it is then."

The song plays and Kurt starts. Maggie eyes widen as she hears Kurt sing. She lips "Wow."

Kurt pulled her off the bed by her hands so that she is standing next to him. He smiles at her.

Maggie nods her head and when the chorus comes she closed her eyes and belted. "Who is this girl I see, staring straight back at me."

Kurt saw the door slowly open and Blaine peered around it. They found each others eyes and Blaine smiled. Kurt recognized this look because Blaine's face was becoming easier to read. This was the face he would make when he looked at Kurt. It was a look of love. If his eyes could turn into little hearts, they would. When Blaine came inside the room he walked straight over to him and placed a hand on his lower back. Blaine joined them giving his best falsetto melody until the song was over.

"Wow, Kurt you are amazingly talented."

"He is quite the duet partner." Blaine pushed his hip against Kurt when he said this.

Kurt looked over at him and smiled.

"I am surprised my brother snagged someone as good as you. I think you are the only guy that Blainey has been interested in that I actually like."

Blaine's expression changed. "Do you think Mom and Dad can pick up on the fact that we are together?" Kurt could pick up a touch of fear in Blaine's voice. He looked at her anxiously.

Kurt noticed the look of uneasy returning to his eyes and clenched up.

Maggie shrugged. "I think, maybe. I mean, why else would you honestly bring a guy home to meet them."

"I know… I just." Blaine couldn't finish his sentence. He dug his nails into Kurt's back.

Kurt winced and looked at his boyfriend. "Do both of your parents have a problem with it?" Kurt asked without looking away from Blaine. He looked so uncomfortable and it was beginning to make Kurt feel the same way.

"No, it's not like that." Maggie responded first. "My parents adore Blaine. They just don't show it. It's hard for them I guess." Maggie looked at Blaine before continuing. "It is just that out Dad does not know how to deal with the fact that his only son is gay. The man who will carry on the family name will 'let the name die' is something he sometimes says."

Blaine looked at the ground and Kurt noticed him rubbing the tip of his shoe on the carpet as if he was trying to dig a hole in the middle of Maggie's bedroom.

"He is just really old fashioned." Maggie continued. "He is slowly coming to accept that Blaine isn't going to change but you won't see him at a Gay Pride Parade any time soon. It is the gay he can't accept. It's like a dirty phrase. As long as Blaine does not appear gay, he is accepting and I use that term loosely."

Kurt put one of his arms around Blaine's waist. "What about your Mom?" He directed his question to Blaine but his eyes were glued to the floor.

"Oh Mom. She is totally fine with it now. At least that is what she tells him. At first she was disgusted at the thought. It took her awhile to come around. What did it for her is that Blaine can do no wrong in her eyes. She does not always voice her opinion because of how loud our Dad is on his views. Sometimes her silence and lack of support hurts just as much as our Dad's words and ignorance."

Blaine kept dodging Kurt's eyes.

"Pretty much to our Dad, he loves Blaine but not his life choices. He loves the idea of Blaine: his son, good student, singer, likes sports and overall good guy. He just can not stand the fact that Blaine is attracted to men. So as long as he can overlook that, he is fine. Mom does not seem to care anymore, especially with everything that has happened. I think she does not care who he loves as long as he is happy."

"Love…" Blaine said under his breath.

Kurt pulls Blaine into a tight hug. "I never knew it was this bad. I am so sorry. If you want to leave, we can go right now." Kurt could feel the nape of his neck become moist from Blaine's tear. It became much harder for Kurt to hold his own in but he needed to be strong for Blaine. "I don't want to make things worse for you. I shouldn't have come." Kurt could feel his tears swelling in his eyes and about to spill over. He hugged Blaine tighter. "I don't want you to be upset like this because of me. I'll apologize to your Mom. Let's go." Kurt had never seen Blaine this upset before and he did not expect himself to get this upset over it either.

Blaine picked up his head. "Why are you so adorable?" His eyes were puffy from his tears but he wiped them away with the back of his hand. "We are not going anywhere. I don't cry about it so this was my release." He kissed Kurt softly. "I love you. You know that right?" Blaine wiped Kurt's tears that he did not know that he had released.

Kurt smiled. "I love you too. I don't want to cause any trouble with your family. I-I-I didn't know it was this bad-"

Blaine put a finger to his lips. "You are no trouble. I want you to be here and if my Dad tried to pull anything I will put him in his place. I don't think anything will happen but if it does, there are many things I would like to say to him." Blaine looked past Kurt and had an intense look on his face.

Kurt just looked at him. Now he knew why this had been such a difficult subject for Blaine. He could not help but feel closer to Blaine because of it. How Blaine is able to be so happy when all this is going on is incredible. Kurt had never seen Blaine before with such strength. He held him tightly.

Blaine broke out of their hug. "You know you are the one that helped me with my relationship with my Dad."

"Me? Why? How?" Kurt did not understand.

"Your strength and confidence in yourself helped me find it in myself. Then I met your Dad and I saw how a healthy relationship between a father and son looks like. I have made greater strides in the last few months than I did in the seventeen plus year before I met you."

Kurt inhaled deeply he could not form words to express what he was feeling. Because of me… He felt a lump grow in his throat, a lump of emotion. Kurt blinked away the tears, unable to speak.

Blaine grabbed his hands. "It's okay babe. Maggie, do you have One Jump Ahead from Aladdin?"

Maggie hurried over to her iPod and fiddled around with it. "Of course…it's…uhh...here it is."

The song came on and Blaine starting singing along Maggie stood to Kurt who was rolling his eyes at his boyfriend as he serenaded him.

"You are such a dork!" Maggie said between her fit of giggles.

Blaine jumped up on Maggie's bed and began to do a goofy dance, kicking all of the pillows off of her bed without missing a beat. Kurt covered his face.

"BLAINE, get down from there." A voice said from the other side of the room.

Blaine hopped off the bed. Maggie and Kurt looked at the door. Their Mom was standing at the door, wiping her hands on a dish towel, shaking her head.

"I need help with setting the table. Who will help me?"

"I-" Kurt managed to say while stepping forward but Blaine cut him off.

"I will Mom." Blaine fixed his hair and then walked out of the room.

"I will help too." Kurt hurried after him.

Blaine spun around on his heels. "No, you stay with Maggie. I don't want you to do anything. You are my guest." Blaine tapped his finger on the end of Kurt's nose. "You're the best." And then he spun back around leaving Kurt touching his nose in the doorway to Maggie's room.
