Kurt and Blaine hung out near baggage carousel number 4, and waited for Dani’s flight to land. Blaine tensed up whenever a civilian would look in his general direction.
“Seriously, calm down, I barely recognize you. I hardly think you sister or a fan will.” Kurt told Blaine, taking in the older and shorter boy’s outfit consisting of a pair of black skinny jeans, a dark blue polo shirt with a matching bowtie, black converse and his signature hot pink Ray-Bans.
“I think Danielle would know by the glasses and the bowtie.” He retorted smiling and scanning the crowd that was coming from the gate and clumping around the baggage carousel. Just then, a girl that looked around 16 or 17 walked up to them with a navy blue suitcase, Blaine oblivious to her.
“Excuse me, by any chance have you seen my brother, he’s a pretty famous actor and his name is Blaine Anderson?” she asked sweeping her dark bangs out of her eyes, which were the same golden color as Blaine’s. Her question made Blaine look over at her and smile slightly.
“Shut up, Danielle. Does mom know what you're wearing?” Blaine replied to his sister, grabbing her suitcase. Danielle looked down at strapless orange up-down dress.
“Well she must, I mean she did but it for me…” she told him glancing at Kurt with confusion in her eyes.
“Oh, this is my friend Kurt Hummel” Blaine started the introduction, with a little too much emphasis on the phrase friend. “Kurt, this is me annoying little sister, Danielle. Dani, Kurt is also gay but we are not dating.” Blaine added the last part quietly. Danielle rolled her eyes and took her suitcase from Blaine.
“Where did Lacie park?” Danielle asked smugly, assuming Blaine came with his publicist.
“That was one damn time. I apologized profusely. I did not Transplant would be filming longer. It was the first time that happened. Lacie said she knew who you were; I didn’t know you would be waiting for over 3 hours!” Blaine exclaimed a little too loudly, making people look up and notice who he was.
“On three, I’m going to go in a different direction. Danielle, stay with Kurt. He knows where we parked.” Blaine said near silently when people started whispering his name. Kurt and Danielle both nodded slightly and when Blaine hit three, Kurt bent down to adjust his Doc Martins as Blaine kept walking. Moments later, someone yelled Blaine's name and when he looked up, his identity was validated causing over one hundred screaming girls and the occasional guy to run up to him.
“And that’s our cue.” Dani said aloud to herself as Kurt stood up and they headed towards where Blaine parked.
“He gave you the keys, right?” Danielle asked, speaking to Kurt for the first time since they met.
“Uh yea he did. He didn’t say why before but here” Kurt took the Mercedes keys out of his pocket and handed them to her. She unlocked the car and put her suitcase in the trunk, closed it, then sat on it looking at Kurt with the same false innocence Blaine uses from time to time.
“So you're also gay?” Dani inquired and Kurt nodded, leaning against a pole within the parking garage looking at Dani, taking in her olive toned skin with a complexion better than Kurt’s, long wavy black hair with side swept bangs, hazel eyes which at the time looked more green than hazel that were framed by eyelashes that were as long as Blaine’s, if not longer. ’Damn, she looks like the female version of her brother. The similarities are uncanny.’ Kurt thought.
“So you're not dating my brother?” Danielle asked as a follow up question.
“No, um-” Kurt started choosing his words wisely “Your brother is just a really good friend” Kurt told her feeling uncomfortable, but trying really hard to hide it.
“But you want to be..?” she kept prodding.
“Danielle, all I will say is your brother is currently one of my closest friends; nothing more, nothing less.” Kurt snapped not hiding his annoyance and smiled happily when he saw Blaine walking up.
“Sorry, got recognized by people.” He said shrugging his shoulders taking his keys from Danielle, and climbing into his Mercedes. Danielle climbed into the passenger seat and leaving the back seat for Kurt.
“Blaine? Can I drive?” Danielle asked in the passenger seat. “I have my license back in Ohio; I just need to get it transferred over here.”
“God no.” Blaine said with a smile, starting the car and pulling out of the parking space and driving out of the parking garage. “This car was almost $98,000. I’ve driven with you before, so unless you or mom buy me a brand new one when you total it, the answer will always be no.” Blaine said glancing at his sister quickly and driving away from LAX.
“I’m not that bad of a driver” she said defensively, with a little too much emphasis on the word 'that'. Blaine chuckled as he drove on I-405.
“The fact you had to take your driving test twice before you got you license, and had to defend it with the word ‘that’ proves your driving skills are horrendous. Also, must I remind you how you got your license the second time?” Blaine asked with a sarcastic smile and Kurt giggled in the back seat earning them both a dirty look from Dani. Blaine rolled his eyes and pulled on I-405 ignoring his sister and her snarky attitude.
“Don’t we need to take your boyfriend home?” Dani asked Blaine trying to sound like a bitch and pulling out her Blackberry Torch and sending a text to her mom saying she arrived safely and was with Blaine.
“Where’s the Droid you begged me for last year?” Blaine asked his sister, ignoring her previous comment about Kurt.
“I threw it at a wall a couple of months ago when Sam decided to dump me over a text and inform me he had been cheating on me for the past 3 months or so. Then he started some shit at his school that got back to mom and here I am.” Danielle said shrugging.
“I’m sorry Danielle, that’s really screwy.” Kurt told Dani, breaking his personal silence.
“Well it’s my fault dating a guy not only from Lima but goes to McKinley.”Danielle told him nonchalantly; making it seem like not only living in Lima, but also going to McKinley is a bad thing, and causing Blaine to groan of embarrassment.
“Well,” Kurt said with an incredibly fake smile “I grew up in Lima and went to McKinley. I graduated almost two years ago, so I might have known him.” Kurt informed Dani sourly making her silent with embarrassment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blaine pulled up to his house almost an hour later because of traffic, and Kurt felt just about at home as he did back in Lima. He climbed out of the back seat and walked into the house, after Blaine flashed his younger sister a look which Kurt took to mean ’Do not leave this car, we need to talk about your bitchiness.'
“Hey Mr. Anderson” Kurt said with a smile as he strolled in the kitchen, taking one of the Diet Cokes the Blaine kept the fridge stalked with just for him.
“Kurt, I’ve told you ever time you were here to call me Travis.” Blaine's dad told Kurt, looking up from the food he was preparing.
“What are you making?” Kurt asked sitting on a stool and taking a swig of his soda.
“Eggplant parm, Danielle and Blaine love it, especially Danielle. Where are they anyways?” Travis asked slicing a couple of eggplants.
“Well Blaine's probably yelling at his sister for being kind of a, I dunno, bitch.” Kurt said hearing the front door slam.
“Daddy!” Dani yelled, running into the kitchen hugging her dad.
“Hey dad.” Blaine said strolling into the kitchen behind his sister and setting her suitcase down in the doorway. “Is that eggplant parm?” Blaine's dad smiled and nodded, releasing Danielle from the hug and looking at her dress, causing his smile to fade.
“Danielle.” He started sternly, “I would appreciate it if you didn’t look like such a skank and maybe changed your clothes.”
“Fine, I was going to later. Besides dad, I’m 17 and I moved in with Blaine, not you.” She said turning on her heel and getting her suitcase then heading upstairs to change.
“So Kurt, are you staying for dinner or do you have plans with Puck?” Blaine asked trying to change the subject.
“Yea, I’ll stay. I love eggplant parm.” Kurt said turning to Mr. Anderson. “Need any help Mr. Ander- I mean Travis?”
“Nah you guys go do whatever you normally do.” Travis told Kurt with a smile, sprinkling extra parmesan cheese on the eggplant parm.
