Burt puts his hand on Kurt’s shoulder.

“We’ll be fine, kid, they’re also looking forward to seeing us,” he says with a reassuring voice.

“Ik ben er voor je,” Blaine also says in support. When Kurt first asked Blaine if he wanted to come along to their trip to the Netherlands, Blaine almost refused. He didn’t want to impose on such a big moment.

But Kurt argued that Blaine had to be there.

“You’re the one who taught me Dutch for this moment. You made part of it possible,” he had said, “Ik wil dat je erbij bent.”

And Blaine cannot say no to this man. He’s basically moved across the universe for him, so of course he’d follow him across the world.

The four of them get their luggage and they walk towards the Arrival hall. Many people are waiting for their loved ones to arrive, and Kurt’s family isn’t an exception.

Kurt’s cousins, Gwen, Anne and Jeroen, are holding a huge cardboard sign that says “WELKOM IN NEDERLAND, HUMMEL-HUDSONS en Blaine!”.

The letters are in red, white, blue and orange. Blaine lets out a laugh when he sees that they scribbled his name to the side. The sign is also decorated with stereotypically Dutch things, like wooden clogs, windmills and tulips. They put some effort into it.

Burt tearfully hugs his long lost sisters. Carole talks to Ellen and Paul, the in-laws, about the flight. Kurt talks to his cousins in basic Dutch. The sentences are still very simple, but it has the desired effect. The cousins are very surprised and delighted.

“Mam, mama!” Gwen yells to the adults, “Kurt spreekt Nederlands!”

“Echt?” Barbara, who is still hugging Burt, sounds bewildered.

Burt and Carole also picked up some very, very basic sentences from Kurt and Blaine and Kurt’s extended family is delighted.

“Wat een verassing!” Janine says and she claps her hand in delight.

Kurt then talks to everyone in his Dutch family, showing off his skill. Blaine’s standing at the side and he’s beaming with pride. Then Kurt looks over his shoulder and motions towards Blaine to come over.

“En dit is Blaine, mijn vriend, in every sense,” Kurt says and Blaine shakes hands with everyone, “Hij heeft mij Nederlands geleerd. Hij is een goede leraar.”

“Bedankt,” Blaine blushes. He properly introduces himself in Dutch, using the cover story about his life. Only Kurt knows that he’s an alien. (Okay, and Rachel, and Santana, since Brittany told her. It’s fine.)

“Shall we?” Janine asks, “Time to show you our beautiful little country.”

“Ah, yes, Holland here we come!” Burt says happily, which makes all the Dutch people gasp.

“Uncle Burt, it is the Netherlands, not Holland!” Anne says.

“Holland isn’t the same. It’s only a part of the Netherlands!” Gwen shakes her head.

“It’s like calling all of the USA Florida!” Jeroen adds.

Kurt turns to Blaine. He didn’t know that.

“You never said!” Kurt says.

Blaine shrugs.

“You never asked.”

“Well, I suppose I have a lot to learn,” Kurt pouts, “Luckily I have my Dutch family. And you.”

Kurt gives Blaine a peck on the lips and together they follow Kurt’s family out of the airport.
