Blaine pulled up in front of Kurt's house and took a deep breath before getting out. He and Kurt had been dating for almost two months now and it was finally time for him to meet Kurt's friends. To say that he was nervous was an understatement. Blaine was basically freaking out. He knew Kurt wouldn't dump him if his friends didn't like him, but he wanted them to like him. As much as Kurt complained about them half the time, he could tell that they all meant a lot to him. So far he'd only met Finn. It was quite the experience, but it had gone well.

He rang the doorbell and only had to wait a moment before the door was opened and he was greeted by Kurt's grin. He raised himself up on his tiptoes (seriously his growth spurt needed to show up soon or Kurt needed to stop growing) to kiss Kurt hello, when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud brunette girl forcing herself between the two of them.

"Hi! I'm Rachel!"

Blaine blinked. Recovering quickly he stuck out his hand to shake Rachel's. "Blaine Anderson."

"So I hear you're in the Warblers. Which means you're competition. I'm going to have to ask what exactly your intentions are."

Blaine stared in helpless confusion for a moment before Kurt saved him. "Leave the poor boy alone Rachel." He grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into the house. "Rachel here, insisted on showing up early. Something about not trusting the enemy." Kurt glared pointedly at Rachel with raised eyebrows as they walked into the living room.

"I-"

"Kurt, you know I trust your judgement, but after the whole Jesse thing I don't want you getting hurt."

"Jesse?" Blaine asked blankly, glancing between the two of them, wondering if there was an ex-boyfriend that Kurt had failed to mention.

Kurt glared at Rachel as they all sat down, Blaine practically sitting in Kurt's lap in his attempts to be close to him. "Jesse, was the lead singer for Vocal Adrenaline. He briefly transferred to McKinley and dated Rachel for a little while before he transferred back and showed his true colors as a complete egg throwing jackass."

Blaine opened and closed his mouth silently for a moment before responding "He... I, ok." He turned to face Rachel, who was sitting in the armchair opposite them. "I promise I am not out to get Kurt. I have no ulterior motive in dating him. I just want to make sure that he's happy. Ideally with me as his boyfriend."

Rachel looked slightly impressed by Blaine's reassurances, but any response she may have had was interrupted by the doorbell. As Kurt got up to answer the door, Finn loped down the stairs. "Hey man, nice to see you again."

"It's nice to see you too" Blaine replied, returning Finn's fistbump as he went to settle into the armchair with Rachel. "How've you been?"

"Good, football season is starting up though so I've been busy."

Blaine was about to respond when someone plopped down on the couch next to him and wrapped their arms around him. "You're a dolphin right? That's what San told me."

"I'm, umm, what?" Blaine shot a confused look from the blonde girl hugging him, to Kurt, and then back again.

Kurt settled back down next to him on the couch and patted him on the knee, while Brittany continued to smile brightly at him. "Yes, Brittany, he's a dolphin too."

"Yay!"

"Anyways, Blaine this is Brittany, Brittany this is Blaine."

"It's nice to meet you!" Blaine said, holding his hand out to Brittany, still trying to figure out what their conversation had just been about. Brittany released him from their hug and shook his hand in return.

Blaine heard a throat clear and looked up at the person suddenly standing in front of him. The girl looked him up and down appraisingly with her arms folded across her chest. Suddenly she turned towards Kurt. "Ok, fine I owe you an apology Porcelain. He is real. I don't know how you persuaded him to join us though."

Kurt glared at her. "Santana. He's my boyfriend."

"Let's see you two kiss then."

"I see no reason why I need to prove this to you" Kurt groaned in annoyance. "You're going to make me regret letting you meet him."

Santana kept looking at Kurt expectantly, tapping her foot impatiently. Blaine sat on the couch, trying to subtly edge himself closer to Kurt. He tangled his fingers together nervously as he watched Santana watch his boyfriend.

Finally Kurt sighed. "Ugh. Fine. Whatever" he threw his hands up in the air in exasperation. "Blaine?" Kurt turned a little bit so he was now looking at Blaine. "Santana isn't going to shut up about this until we kiss. Even then she might not shut up, but it's worth a shot."

Blaine raised his eyebrows slightly at him. He hesitated for a moment, and then kissed Kurt, pulling on him slightly in an attempt to get him to climb into his lap. If Santana wanted a show, well, she could get one if it meant Blaine got to kiss his boyfriend. With a tiny bit of subtle prodding, Kurt swung himself around so that he was sitting with his legs on either side of Blaine's lap. Kurt slowly wrapped his legs around Blaine, pulling him slightly closer, and pushing his tongue into his mouth. Blaine deepened the kiss moments later, pulling Kurt further towards him. They were broken apart moments later however by Santana's catcall and Finn's groan of "dude, that's my brother."

Kurt slid off of Blaine's lap and back to his own seat on the couch with a satisfied smile on his face while Santana moved to sit on the other side of Britney. "Convinced?" Kurt asked, looking over to Santana, while threading his fingers through Blaine's.

"Yes I believe so. Gel head over there grabbing your ass helped."

Blaine felt a blush stain his cheeks but it didn't stop the grin that spread across his face.

"Santana" Blaine glanced over at Kurt to see him glaring across the couch at the girl. "Please do not refer to my boyfriend as 'gel head' or any other names. His name is Blaine. I know you know that."

"Whatever Porcelain."

Kurt groaned in frustration but his next words were cut off by the door slamming closed behind the seven people who had just trooped in.

They all greeted each other and then Kurt introduced them to Blaine. The black girl - Mercedes - was the first one to address Blaine. "So you're the one that my boy Kurt won't stop talking about" she said as she sat down on the floor, leaning against the chair Rachel was in, as the blonde girl - Quinn - had taken the last empty seat.

"Uh," Blaine stated elegantly "I hope I'm the one he talks about" he said, squeezing Kurt's hand as he glanced over to see him blushing and shooting Mercedes a 'please shut up' glare. "He talks about you all the time too." Blaine was about to continue, when Sam broke into the conversation.

"You guys met up at the lake right? Isn't it beautiful up there?" Everyone suddenly began talking at once until Blaine finally re-entered the conversation.

"Wait, you're the one I should be thanking aren't you."

"Thank- oh yeah. Cause me having to take the week off gave you guys the chance to meet didn't it? Well no thanks necessary, so long as you promise to treat Kurt right."

"I think I can manage that" Blaine said, bumping fists with Sam.

Once everyone was talking amongst themselves, Quinn said a quiet hello to Blaine and mostly just smiled along with the conversation, shooting occasional glares at Rachel while Tina and Mike talked to him about show choir competitions. Kurt got up part way through the conversation with a pat to Blaine's leg and went to grab drinks and some snacks for everyone.

When he returned, Mike, Tina, and Quinn all slipped away to grab chips and settle into conversations with the others. This, of course, was when Puck and Lauren decided to strike up a conversation with Blaine. After a few minutes, Kurt sat back down next to Blaine and joined the conversation.

"Puck." Kurt snapped moments later. "Why do you keep doing that? Everytime Blaine stops looking at you, you start eyeing him."

Pucks head whipped over to look at Kurt, face changing into a mask of false innocence. "What're you talking about?"

"You're practically glaring at him" Kurt said, raising an eyebrow angrily at him. "What gives."

"How do we know he's good enough for you"

Blaine glanced over at Kurt who looked momentarily stunned. From all that Blaine had heard of Puck, he sounded like a decent guy who looked out for Kurt, but he hadn't been prepared for this response to them dating.

"Noah, I promise you, he's good enough for me." Kurt said softly, placing his other hand on top of Blaine's hand. "He makes me happy, and the only bad thing" Blaine stiffened slightly at the words "is that he lives in Westerville."

"Puck, I swear I just want him to be happy."

"What if this is like the Jesse thing all over again?"

"That's what I said too!" Rachel exclaimed from across the room as everyone else stopped talking. "We wouldn't want to fall for the same trick again and let a spy slip among our ranks."

"Rachel." Kurt gritted out before Puck spoke.

"I'm not talking about a spy. I'm talking about this douchebag breaking Kurt's heart because it was all just a game."

Blaine bristled angrily, both hurt and offended by the suggestion that he was just messing with Kurt. Kurt stood up and put himself between Blaine and Puck (which was momentarily distracting to Blaine because his boyfriends butt was less than a foot from his face). "Noah Puckerman. You take that back right now, or else I am kicking you out of this house."
Puck looked torn between apologizing and sticking to his guns, until Lauren tugged on his hand and pulled him away. "Ok Puck, that's enough. Apologize and then leave the poor boy alone."

Puck grimaced as he noticed the rest of the room staring at him, mouths slightly open in shock. "Look, Kurt... Blaine. I'm sorry. I went a little overboard there. I just want what's best for you" Puck, made eye contact with Kurt as he continued. "I don't want you getting hurt because some boy doesn't know what you're worth."

"...That's oddly sweet of you Noah. Thank you." Kurt said sitting down slowly.

Puck nodded slightly and then returned his focus to Blaine. "You promise you'll be good to Kurt? He's my boy and I don't want to have to hurt you if you hurt him. But I will."

"I- Yes. Of course." Blaine said clinging to Kurt a little. "I would never dream of hurting him."

Puck nodded curtly to them both, shook Blaine's hand, and then returned to his seat next to Lauren. Slowly conversation started back up and the noise in the room returned to a cheerful buzz.

"Sorry about him" Kurt whispered, lips brushing Blaine's ear. "He means well. I think."

Blaine merely chuckled and leaned closer to Kurt, wrapping his arm around him. "I can see that, I think."

After that they fell into conversations with the others, discussing music, and movies, and tv, and a bit of fashion, before people began to disperse, departing for other responsibilities.

Once they had waved goodbye to Mercedes, they turned to find themselves alone with a slightly disheveled living room. "Should we clean up, or...?" Blaine asked, glancing around at the plates that littered the floor.

"It's fine, we can get it later." Kurt said, leaning down and brushing their noses together before capturing Blaine's lips in his own. "For now I was thinking that you, me, and that couch would have some quality time."

"I certainly would not be opposed to that" Blaine grinned, leaning in to kiss Kurt once more as he guided them towards the couch.

"So that little make-out session display for Santana?" Kurt asked pushing Blaine onto his back and straddling his legs. "I must admit I was quite surprised, but that was rather hot."

Blaine grinned. "Yeah? I was afraid that I'd maybe gone a bit too far." Blaine pulled Kurt down towards him, hands drifting down Kurt's back towards his butt. "What with the ass grabbing and all."

"Perhaps a bit far while others are around... but for just us? I rather liked it." Blaine's eyebrows shot up in surprise, before turning into a toothy smile, eyes darkening. "Speaking of, what'd you think of my friends?" Kurt asked trying to come across casually.

"They were" Blaine leaned up, trying to kiss Kurt, but was stopped by Kurt's arm forcing him back down. He pouted slightly for a moment, but then continued talking. "They were just as insane as you made them out to be. I don't know why, but for some reason I'd thought that you were exaggerating."

"They are quite the characters" Kurt chuckled. "I am still so sorry about what Puck said."

Blaine shrugged. "It's ok." Kurt raised his eyebrows out him. "Well, ok, maybe it wasn't all that ok, but when he apologized I could tell that the whole thing came from a place of caring. I can respect that, especially when that place of caring is aimed at you."

Kurt finally leaned down and kissed Blaine softly on the lips at that. "You liked them then?"

"Of course I did. It was all a little overwhelming, but they all seem like amazing, well meaning, people in their own ways." Blaine paused, taking in the content look in Kurt's eyes. "I'm glad you have them in your life."

"Me too." Kurt sighed, rolling off of Blaine and snuggling in between him and the back of the couch. "I can't believe they all came. Usually at least two of them are fighting and refuse to be in the same room as each other. Just last week Finn invited everyone over and Quinn wouldn't come because he and Rachel are together."

"Clearly they all love you." Blaine said in a low voice, turning onto his side to look at Kurt.

"Apparently."

There was a break in their conversation and they just laid their gazing at each other for a moment. Then, without warning, Blaine rolled on top of Kurt, pinning him to the couch. "Am I allowed to kiss you now?"

"Yes Blaine, yes you are" Kurt giggled. "As you proved earlier you're pretty much always allowed to kiss me. In fact it's pretty much required of you when you lie on top of me like this."

Blaine found Kurt's right hand and tangled their fingers together. "I am quite fond of you Kurt Hummel" he whispered, brushing their lips together slowly before diving into a more intense kiss. After a few minutes, Blaine's mouth traveled away from Kurt's lips.

He slowly kissed is way down Kurt's jaw, finding his way to Kurt's neck and pressing a soft kiss behind his ear before moving lower to suck at a spot right above his collar, Kurt whimpering quietly beneath him. When he finally pulled away and began kissing back up his neck, Kurt managed to whisper "I am quite fond of you too Blaine Anderson" before Blaine once again captured Kurt's lips with his own.
