Christmas had been a very family centred affair, Santana and her parents, Blaine's dad, Jake, Dale and Landin were all there as well. Dales mom had died a couple of years earlier and his dad didn't really see eye to eye with his choices and refused to claim Landin as his grandson (I always knew his dad was a colossal dick, who could look into that cuties eyes and refuse them anything.....not me if all the presents were to go by.) and true to form my dad swooped in and took their place. Blaine's mom got stuck abroad in bad snow so him, Cooper and his dad made a last minute decision (involving a burnt turkey) to join the Hummell-Hudson clan. It was perfect. Blaine gave me the most amazing collage with photos of us and friends and little song quotes scattered around them. Our trip had been very PG and after a few days of convincing, Grandpa Burt stepped in to babysit while the grown-ups went out to play.

That was how the eight of us were sitting in a booth in scandals listening to terrible drag queens cover horrific songs. We were all well on our way, except Blaine who was trying to keep control of events......not to much avail.

"Okay BFG! You love your wife.....you get it, she gets it, we all get it! But kindly remove your tongue from between her tonsils!" Santana pushed at Finns shoulder.

"I don't have tonsils Santana...." Rachel piped up from the corner and she at least had the nerve to look embarrassed.

"So many images I don't want to imagine!" Blaine wailed dramatically burying his head into my shoulder.

"Relax Bumble! If you and peachy want to make out....I'd totally pay to see that!" she shrugs her shoulders and clinks her glass against Cooper's who is doubled over in laughter.

"Santana!" I shout at her, while Blaine blows warm air across my neck. "Why not start a new topic? It's almost midnight!" She sends a grin my way and I hold my breath knowing that trouble is going to come from it.

"Let's play I have never....." She smirks waving over the barmaid and asking for two bottles of tequila. Once the glasses and bottles were in place she poured out a shot for everyone except Blaine. "Let's see......I have never made out with Peachy...." Her own glass stays untouched while Dale, Cooper, Jake and even Rachel take a drink. Finn stares open mouthed at his wife.

"WHEN?!" he asks a little squeaky.

"Oh relax buddy it was after I said how good he was!" Cooper chirped up from the corner and I put my head into my hands, Santana was playing dirty.

"COOP! You made out with my boyfriend?" Blaine pulled me tighter to him in a protective manner.

"Baby it was senior year a very drunken after graduation party game of spin the bottle or seven minutes in heaven....don't get jealous! You're definitely the better kisser..." I purr seductively into his ear.

"HEY!" Cooper yells.

"I'm so going to need therapy in years to come..." Blaine whispers but kisses me softly anyway.

"Me next!" I shout out when inspiration strikes. "I have never.....stripped on the bar in here..." I mentally high five myself as everyone except me, Rachel and Jake takes a shot.

"What?" Cooper and Finn yell in unison noticing Blaine's face.

"Cooper I get...he's a disgrace. But Finn why were you stripping in a gay bar?" Everyone starts laughing and Blaine just looks even more confused. "What am I missing?" I let him know I'll tell him later before Jake speaks up.

"I have never......hmmmmm.....been arrested...."

"Actually arrested?" Rachel pipes up and Finn laughs violently.

"As in handcuffed, lights and siren, strip searched...." Jake smiles as Santana, Cooper and Rachel all take a drink.

"What kind of friends do we have?" Jake mocked a shocked impression and Dale tickled his side.

"Awesome ones that sometimes say BOMB too loudly at the airport....huh Coop?" Santana raised her eyebrow at him and he stuck out his tongue.

"Better than being arrested for stealing a car Satan...." He bites back. I just shook my head when Blaine looked to me for answers; this game was going to leave a lot of questions for me.

"Okay you two! I've got a great one.....I have never been punched by a member of this table...."Dale looks around as we all drink except Cooper "You too Coop! I heard about scarecrow strikes back..." he rolls his eyes towards me with a grin.

"Ha-ha I've just realised only two of us weren't punched by Kurt....and one of them is him! Why so much rage little bro...." Finn smiles at me.

"Firstly 2 months older...that was the reason for yours, Rachel should learn to share a hairbrush, Cooper shouldn't have started the scarecrow thing, and Santana was interpretive dancing gone wrong.....it's not like I punched you all in the face...." I whine feeling a bit bad now I line them all up in my head.

"The hairbrush broke my nose though!" Rachel teases.

"Only when you pulled it back out of my hands..." I throw my hands up and everyone pretends to duck in fear. "Ha-ha your soooo funny!"

"Relax Kurt! We've all moved past it...." She reaches over to pat my hand where it fell to the table. "My turn! I have never.....had sex with Kurt..."

"Define sex?" Santana pipes up making Finn splutter his drink.

"Anything intimate...." Rachel says a bit quieter than before.

"Meaning anything that made him come? Ill Drink up for Bumble....Abercrombie don't think anyone will forget shower-gate!" Santana and Cooper high five as Finn quietly excuses himself to the bathroom.

"What's shower-gate?" Jake looks between us all and Dale coughs loudly.

"You don't wanna know....trust me!" I squeal over Santana's mumblings.

"Oh but it's such a hot story!!!" Santana grumbles as she gets off her chair and stumbles out towards the dance floor. "Come find me at midnight losers...."

As I watch her dance her way into the crowd I listen subconsciously to Jake and Dale 'discussing' the shower gate story. Oh to hell with it a few more shots won't kill me....right?

*******************************

"What exactly did you all think you were doing!?!" my dad yells pacing backwards and forwards between us all. This had been going on for the last ten minutes Landin tracing each of my dad's footsteps and copying each curse word he threw out. "It's a good job Blaine called me when he did or god knows where you would have ended up....."

"Dad we are so sorry-"

"No Kurt! I'm not finished! In fact let's start with you and your two cronies shall we?" he pointed at Santana and Cooper while sitting in his arm chair and pulling Landin on to his knee.

"Cronies!" Landin burst in to a fit of giggles.

"Why would you start drinking from the taps behind the bar? You don't even like beer!" my dad sighed and Landin mimicked him after a few seconds.

"It was his fault-"

"Santana said-"

"I just wanted to get closer to the barmaids!" Santana shouted over me and Cooper and my dad just shook his head.

"That's bad huh grandpa?" Landin copies my dad's action placing his hands on his hips; I can't help but laugh at the very Jake action.

"Kurt! It's not funny! And don't even get me started on what you two newlyweds were doing in the toilet to get thrown out!" my dad casts a withering look at Jake and Dale who blush a furious red.

"At least we were doing it together?" Dale mumbles almost hopeful it's the right answer.

"More like at least you didn't strip again in front of the bar like you did on my eighteenth...." Blaine grumbles under his breath and I dig him in the ribs. "Ouch Kurt that hurt!"

"Uncle Kurt forgiveness is a weapon!" Landin says in a 'stern' voice.

"Where the hell do you send him?" Finn finally voiced his opinions from the stool he was on behind the couch, Rachel standing in-between his legs with her sleep mask tangled in her bed hair.

"A very good kindergarten thank you!" Jake folds his arms across his body obviously proud of his son's eloquence. "They get taught not to use violence and to forgive wrong doing instead."

"Oh so now you speak up Finn? Good maybe you want to explain to me then why when I arrived to get you that you were all tee-peeing your old lecturer's house? Don't deny it you're the only one tall enough to get it on the roof..." well that shut the big oaf up! To be honest I can't quite remember what happened after we started pouring other peoples drinks... But I suppose that explains why my new shoes are lying about my room surrounded by clumps of grass....

"Oh no! I can't afford a criminal record do you know what they do to girls like me in prison?" Rachel squeaks and Santana reaches her hand back over the couch to pull her down so they are face to face.

"Berry....shut up my tequila headache is ten times worse than a wine headache and you are not helping in the slightest!" Santana pings her nose with her finger before letting her go.

"What's tequila?" Landin looks confused.

"NOTHING!" we all shout at once forgetting our headaches for the time being.

"Landin go help grandma Carole for a minute?" He does as he is told and then my dad turns his gaze back on us all. "Okay I'm not wasting any more time on this! Just let it be known I've had to offer A LOT of free services at the garage for people to not tell the press about this....Actually no I'm going to say a couple more things. Santana you're a celebrity, you have young girls looking up to you....do you want them to see things like that? No I didn't think so! Cooper and Finn you two just leave me at a lack of words sometimes....filter the boisterous behaviour....Rachel you're trying for a baby! You can't afford to get hurt or arrested just now....you two? You have a baby...well a four year old and he is going to start retelling these stories to friends and then you have to face all the PTA knowing that they know what you get up to in your free time.....And Kurt! Don't get so carried away all the time....your stubborn just like your mom and I know how much chaos she used to cause when we were young....just try to behave...." We all nod along mutely to our little bitch out and move to get up and leave the room but he starts again stalling us. "Look I'm not going to say I wasn't pissed that I had to come pick you all up at that time in the morning....but I know your all still young...well most of you are! But no matter what, this is still a place you can call if you get in trouble just try and behave with some class okay? I love you now hug me! Or I will ground you all!" We all squeeze in to give my dad a hug before going to try and make ourselves more presentable.

******************

"So you two....what gives?" Santana's sitting on my bed beside me as we lazily watch Blaine packing up all of my bags for me. (He was the only one not suffering it should be karma)

"What do you mean?" Blaine looks over from where he is zipping up my toiletry bag and shoving it into my over full case - I may have gotten a bit crazy in the sales- before trying to zip it closed by sitting on it.

"I mean give me the blow by blow account...." She wriggled her eyebrows at nothing in particular and I send a shy smile to Blaine.

"Santana not even if you were the last girl on the planet would you get to be involved in any way with our sex life...." I smile at her and she props herself up on to her elbows to get a good look at us.

"If you two aren't fucking I'm very disappointed! Its almost sad to waste all this unrequited love stuff without any sex...sex sells boys!" Blaine falls backwards off the suitcase after she's done and just stays there while I play idly with my comforter. "What?"

"It's just that we haven't said that to each other yet..." I whisper under my breath and curse Christmas holidays in Ohio for giving me the situation...why couldn't I just be like a black sheep with no family to visit? Oh yeah my families kind of awesome!

"Kurt you don't have to talk about this its private!" Blaine mumbles from his fallen position still not moving. He hasn't pushed this subject till now and I was secretly grateful for it.

"Okay have you been taking crazy pills? Or am I being punked because I'm really confused right now!" Santana frowns watching me - partly because she can read me like a book and partly because we can't actually see Blaine's face from where we are - "Because Blaine says I love you all the time I hear him, when I'm not even remotely trying to spy..." she bats her eyes innocently.

"He does.....it's me that hasn't said it...." The look that is on Santana's face is sheer shock and she doesn't talk for a good five minutes, I don't either, no sense in prodding the beast!

"Why not?" is eventually the response I get as she springs into action getting off the bed. "Get up hobbit and go sit with your boyfriend....talk! Or do other things and I am going to get ready!" she flounces up the stairs and slams the door behind her. Blaine is edging towards the bed and gingerly takes up residence at my feet, meaning that I have to shimmy forward to meet him.

"Blaine I know you love me, you have shown me over these last few weeks how serious you are but I'm just not there yet...." He keeps his head pointing down so I stroke his bare neck softly as I speak. "It's not that I don't feel it, I think you know how I feel about you but I just don't feel ready to say it out loud yet....I almost feel like it might jinx us." I say as gently as I could.

"It um, it's okay Kurt I know how you feel....doesn't mean I don't want to hear it because I do. But I don't want you to say it now just because Santana brought it up and you feel bad....this is the start of a new year together for us and I'm excited to see where it takes us, because I believe that there will be a lot of amusing and great things to come..." Blaine lifts his head up so we can rest our foreheads together and look into each other's eyes.

"I have the best boyfriend in the world....and just so we are clear? If I say it for the first time when I'm drunk pretend to be surprised the next time I say it?" after a wine or two I get very chatty.

"Of course beautiful boyfriend of mine.....I do love you" he smiles softly at me and I feel his emotion seeping into my pours. One day soon I will let him hear those words but not today, not because of Santana.

"Happy new year Bee!" I whisper against his lips and I feel him shudder.

"Here's to a fabulous next 365 days" Blaine seals the gap and I mould myself against his body.

"Oh speaking of...for Landin's birthday we are going away for a long weekend if you want to join us? Its right before you leave..." I hover above him on the bed.

"I don't know Kurt....he still doesn't really know me and I don't want to force myself on him...." Blaine trails off watching me smile, "why are you smiling at me like that?"

"It's Disneyland-"

"I'll be there!" he kisses me quickly before I push him away.

"I knew that would swing it.....and Landin will love you!! Just give him time to get to know you!" I force my weight down on top of him and start a very heated kiss.
