Pyjamas?????????????????
As Blaine got up from the floor, he could see his beautiful boyfriend standing in front of him; he reached his hand up to hold Kurt’s as he said aloud, “Oh, how I love these dreams…” His love just laughed and asked, “Why? What happens next?” Blaine sensed a tone of mischief yet said, “Oh, you sit down and I pamper you by doing all the things you need to do and make you feel rested. Why? Did you want something dirtier?”
That was the first turning point where he realized he wasn’t having a dream. Usually dream!Kurt would respond with something dirty, but all he could see was a red-cheeked Kurt and a cough from who could possibly be his future father-in-law. He got up immediately and said, “Sorry sir, but Kurt? Pyjamas? Kitty pyjamas?”
Kurt just smiled at him and said, “Get up from the floor. It must be hard. I’ll get you the special cocoa that Carole and I made.” As he walked out of the living room, an incoherent Blaine looked at Kurt’s ass walking away.
Burt then said, “Blaine, son, don’t do it. At least not where parenting eyes can see you?”
Blaine just nodded as he regained the rest of his composure. He then sat down on the seat which was informally reserved for him every time he came over.
Kurt came in with a tray of glasses holding cocoa in them; blistering hot cocoa, judging by the amount of steam coming out of the mugs. He sat down and spoke, “So let me tell you why I am wearing pyjamas, which I might add, I never ever wear.” At a glare from Burt, he added, “At least these ones. You all know that I am a fashionista by birth and I love to use my designer clothes to sometimes hide myself from the world. And I try to intimidate people using them. So Dad convinced me that at least once a year, I should not do it.”
Burt smiled at his son and continued, “Luckily and shockingly for me, he said yes and actually said two days. One of them is Easter and the other is the anniversary of his mom’s death. He told me that though his mom loved fashion and dressing up in general, dressing down while meeting her would be the best thing to do. I feel she won’t mind either way, but I don’t wanna hurt his feelings about her. And I get to see him in clothing for which he doesn’t have to spend two months’ worth of paychecks from the garage.”
Kurt just scoffed, “Okay, okay that’s enough. I told you dad, no bashing of my awesome clothes. So Blaine, what film would you like to see? Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean or Mission Impossible?”
Blaine saw Finn behind Kurt gesturing a fedora, obviously referring to Indy, but Blaine wanted his sweet boyfriend to be happy and said, “Is there any question? Pirates, of course! Who can resist the hotness that is Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp together?”
He could see that Burt was slightly weirded out about the fact that he was calling another man hot in front of his boyfriend, but then he was reassured of his choice when Kurt said, “Yep, you’re totally right. And don’t worry, I wasn’t testing you or anything, like a certain high-pitched diva does to her boyfriend.”
Finn realized that Kurt was pulling his leg and said, “Man, Rachel’s cool. Yeah, she makes me give pop tests about when we met and our first date anniversary and our second date anniversary, but she loves me, man.”
Blaine just laughed and said, “Don’t worry Finn, she’s just crazy competitive with Kurt because both of them are really talented.” What he wanted to say was the truth which was that Kurt was much more talented due to the fact that he could reach the high notes of a female as well as the low notes sung by a male. However, he didn’t want to start a fight as he knew Finn loved his girlfriend and would support her to the end. He then turned back to look at Kurt as he tried to pinch himself nonchalantly, hoping that this wasn’t all a dream and that Kurt had let down his walls enough to let Blaine see him in his most casual attire; apart from naked of course.
And then, as if Kurt was telepathic, he gave a bitchy look to Blaine who shut down that train of thought immediately. Burt then got up and told the kids to do so as well. They walked into the dining room for brunch and on a side table, there were three baskets wrapped, which obviously contained candy in them. Blaine realized that Carole had gotten one for Burt, as a sign of humor. He then looked closer to see that the nametag had Blaine on it.
Blaine was shocked as he heard Carole say, “Kurt and I have created a beautiful spread. You boys are growing kids and so I expect you to have as many helpings as you want. Finn, that does not mean you can finish the whole dish by yourself. You can have your candy in the evening after the movies are done.”
As Finn grumbled about having a hollow stomach which never filled, Blaine was filled with a sense of happiness as he looked around to see the stack of presents and saw one there with his name on it. As he tried to pinpoint the emotion, he realized it was affection towards this family which was created by halves of two broken families and treated him like a part of their family as well.
Kurt announced, “We have Glazed Easter Ham, Spring salad with fava beans, shrimp artichoke frittatas, and a Raspberry Custard tart for dessert. And no Dad, you can’t throw away the fava beans.”
Burt just grumbled as they sat down and carved the ham. Blaine just looked around at the familial way they ribbed each other affectionately and only spoke when the conversation was directed towards him. He felt blessed that he was included in such a beautiful family.

As brunch ended, Carole told Blaine and Kurt, “You’re free to go and insert the DVD. Today is Finn’s day for cleaning up.” When she heard Finn grumbling, she told him, “Well, Kurt cooked most of the food today and even if Blaine is practically family, it’s your turn today. So get up and start cleaning.”
Blaine was feeling very high with happiness so he told Finn, “I’ll come with you. I’ll wash, you dry. We’ll finish it faster that way.” Kurt came with them to give company but ended up putting the dry dishes away as Finn “didn’t know the correct arrangement.” When they finished they wiped the place clean and sat in the living room where the menu of Pirates of the Caribbean was visible on the TV.
Finn said, “Thanks for not starting without us.” He then gave the chocolate- and gift- filled baskets to Blaine as well as Kurt. He then started ripping open all the presents, letting the wrapping paper fall to the ground. Kurt had easily torn the wrapping of the basket, and opened a packet of truffles. He put one in his mouth and moaned. Blaine then mustered up the courage and opened one of the gifts. It was a guitar pick, which had “family” engraved on it. Another one had a shirt that Kurt had seen him look at about three weeks back but hadn’t bought.
Blaine looked at the two people who had become his parental figures and said, with a note of awe in his voice, “So you actually DID want me here. I’ll try my best to keep Kurt happy and I promise you I will never let you down.” Carole just smiled and told him, “Sweetie, you’ll always be family to us. Never worry about that.”
And as the opening of the movie started, Blaine thought to himself, “Best day of my whole life!”
