"Hey Blaine, Kurt, you guys have a visitor." He stated and chuckled at the couple.
"Mmm who is it?" Blaine mumbled into Kurt's hair.
"Blaine honey wakeup." It was Grandma Anderson.
Blaine's eyes shot open instantly at the sound of his grandmother's voice, he turned swiftly to face her.
"No Blaine I don't want you to wake up Kurt." She smiled softly.
"Gran what are you doing here?" he whispered as he slipped his arm from underneath Kurt's waist causing Kurt to shift in his sleep.
"Well I missed you and I know how…emotional you get around this time." She spoke sweetly as she played with one of his curls. But she was right the day and the day after his mother's anniversary he was in the worst mood, it was either sadness or anger this year just happen to be a cocktail of both.
"Ah yes but first meet Kurt's roommate Nick. Nick?" He called the brunettes attention from the hallway.
"Nick meet my grandmother she decided to visit me today." He smiled and reached to shake her hand but the movement was interrupted by a flash of blonde hair tumbling over him.
"Attack hug!" Jeff yelled as he straddled Nick to the floor the whole scene made Grandma Anderson giggle.
"Jeff." Blaine gritted through his teeth. The blonde looked up from the floor at Blaine and then shifted his gaze to his grandmother.
"Oh hello!" He lifted himself off of Nick and stretched out his hand, "I'm Jeff Sterling." She hesitantly took his hand with a chuckle and shook it.
"Ehm Jeff this is my Grandmother, Jeff is the resident goofball Gran." Blaine joked and watched Nick lift himself from the floor and straighten his tie.
"Resident goofball and hug addict." Jeff giggled and through his arms around Nick jokingly.
"That's sweet how long have you two been together?" Grandma Anderson looked to Nick and Jeff with an authentic grin. Jeff pulled away from Nick immediately.
"Oh n-no we aren't together we're both totally straight." Nick reassured taking a step away from Jeff to emphasize his point.
"Hmm…interesting." Grandma Anderson simply quipped and turned to Blaine, Nick and Jeff looked at each other confusedly.
"Gran you want to uh sit down I can get you coffee?" Blaine suggested, drawing attention away from his friends.
"I'll sit but no coffee please, how are you feeling?" She took a seat at Kurt's desk chair. Blaine looked to Nick and Jeff and they hesitantly took the signal to leave. Once they were out of the room with the door closed behind them Blaine through himself at the end of the bed and broke down.
"Gran I-I just…Annette moved her to the beach h-house. You know I need her around still I-I can't believe dad would just let her do that like she doesn't matter." He stuttered while tears slowly fell from his eyes. She stiffened with anger but then softened with understanding.
"Blaine you father is…well it's obvious he's an idiot; you and I both know that. When Stefani died he believed he didn't have to care anymore because all he truly cared about was gone but yet he still had you to care for but for some… damn reason he gave up everything. Depression causes people to lose any kind of sense and control with themselves and they can't help how they change and feel because of that. When Annette came along he felt …wanted again so he began doing anything and everything to please her so she wouldn't leave and obviously that worked." Grandma Anderson felt like she was being a bit too hard but Blaine was old enough to receive a bit of tough honesty.
"I understand that Gran, I've known about it and I've accepted it but…if he loved mom so much why does he constantly push the whole fact of…her away?" His eyes were fully glazed over with hot tears threatening to fall out.
"Like I said your father is an idiot and the less he thinks of her the more he will think the pain will disappear. But I know for a fact deep down he knows he's wrong half the time and what he does is wrong." She stated calmly.
Blaine nodded in understanding and suddenly Kurt stirred and his eyes slowly opened Blaine looked down at him and smiled him.
"M'Baby why are you crying?" He mumbled to Blaine watching tears trace his jaw line.
"Just go back to sleep beautiful." Blaine's voice cracking and Kurt obviously noticed and shot up.
"Blaine what's- Oh Grandma Anderson." He sat up and looked around wide eyes.
"Hello dear, sleep well? Seems like you were keeping Blaine warm." She giggled and Kurt immediately blushed.
"Sorry Gran Kurt stood the night since yesterday was a bit rough y'know." Blaine sniffled while wiping away a few tears.
"I understand, Thank you Kurt for staying with him." She smiled and then peered at his neck, she spotted his pendant.
"Blaine dear you think you could get me that coffee you offered I'm a bit parched." She asked nicely.
"Oh sure I already know how you have it, babe you want anything?" Blaine turned to Kurt.
"Just the usual." Kurt said softly, Blaine smiled and picked up his car keys and slid on his sneakers.
"I'll be back in five minutes." He said before shuffling out the door.
There were a few seconds of awkwardness before Grandma Anderson spoke up,
"Kurt do you truly love my grandson?" she asked seriously.
Kurt was a bit surprised by the sudden question but then he understood her concern.
"More than anything." It was true Blaine was the single best thing he had ever had or encountered.
"Good I just wanted to make sure because that necklace you wear is more than just a pretty piece of jewelry in this family." She said sternly.
"I know Blaine explained to me and I feel honored and humbled to wear this and I know I will never take it off." He played with the small pendent, twiddling it between his fingers and then flattening it against his skin.
"I still have mine and my husband and I have been married for almost fifty years." She smiled and pulled out a similar pendent from under her blouse, in the center was a single ruby. Kurt smiled he loved precious love stories and the idea of being with Blaine forever.
"I hope Blaine and I make it to fifty years and so on." He whispered, he suddenly panicked because…well he said that out loud! He looked up at Grandma Anderson worriedly; she simply raised her hand over her heart and sighed.
"I know now that you truly love my son, anyone who was just looking for benefits would have never said that. I'm proud and happy that Blaine found you." Kurt inhaled slowly her approval meant so much for Blaine and he knew that and now her approval means a lot for him.
"I'm happy too." He sighed and a single tear fell from his eye, it was all so much but yet it wasn't painfully overwhelming.
For the next five minutes Kurt told Grandma Anderson about how he and Blaine had fallen in love, she giggled the whole time. Blaine came back with coffees in hand and relieved Kurt and his Gran actually got along. The spent the next few hours spilling stories about Blaine and Kurt's childhood the trio were in a whirlwind of laughs.
It was soon approaching curfew and Grandma Anderson had to take her leave.
"Gran do you need me to drive you back?" Blaine asked attentively.
"No but you can walk me out to my car." She said with a smirk.
"Your car?" Blaine said confusedly.
"Well not my car on the nurses she leant it to me, sheesh Blaine I might be old but I can still drive." She joked.
Grandma Anderson gave Kurt tight hug and a kiss goodbye before leaving the dorm. Once Blaine had got to her car with her she stopped him from opening the door for her,
"Blaine I just wanted to say that no matter what you do, don't let go of him. I see he needs you as much as you need him, don't let him go. Okay?" She spoke sweet and firmly.
"I wouldn't dream of it Gran." Blaine smiled and waved her goodbye as she drove off.
