The rest of the weekend went by without incident. Sure there was the odd inappropriate comment from Blaine when either Burt or Angela were out of earshot. (Kurt was thankful Blaine didn't act like that around those two, he didn't know if he could take the embarrassment of his future step brother hitting on him in front of an audience.) Kurt decided it was because he made sure they never had a chance to be alone for more than a few minutes the whole weekend.
When it was time for goodbyes Kurt was relieved, but also partly sad. He'd miss having Angela around even though it was just a weekend he did enjoy her company being more permanent. Only a month or so till the wedding he reminded himself.
He was looking forward to getting back to school on Monday, well more looking forward to the shopping trip with Mercedes and Tina which would happen after school. But he was still looking forward to seeing his girls and singing in glee, he had some ideas he wanted to run by Mr Shue, both Angela and Blaine left Monday morning before school.
"How was your weekend with the new family Kurt?" Mercedes greeted him with a hug as he arrived at his locker.
"Surprisingly well actually, it felt more normal that I thought it would," Kurt started getting things from his locker.
"So that new step brother of yours didn't try hit on you anymore then?" Mercedes laughed, for a second Kurt had forgotten he told her about Blaine over the phone the first night the Anderson's stayed and told her just how awkward it was in the Lima Bean, and every last detail about how he met Blaine and the whole scenario in the bedroom.
"No, maybe it was because I didn't stay alone with him long enough to even try." Kurt sighed and linked arms with Mercedes while he walked to class. "Maybe he'll get the hint that I'm not interested in starting a secret affair with him."
"Sure," Mercedes smiled knowingly and Kurt scowled at her while she walked into her class.
Kurt carried on walking trying to get to his classroom as quick as possible before the Neanderthals that trolled the halls got to him first.
"Hey lady boy,"
Kurt carried on walking with his head held high as Karofsky and Azimo trailed quickly behind him.
"I'm talking to you Hummel!" Karofsky shouted at Kurt's back.
Kurt spun around. "What is your problem?"
"You're my problem." Karofsky spat and then Kurt was covered in cherry slushie while both jocks high-fived and walked away laughing.
"Great." Kurt muttered as he wiped the best he could from his eyes and went back to his locker to retrieve his spare clothes.
Kurt was late for his class by fifteen minutes and the teacher was about to scold him when she saw his wet hair and crinkled clothes (from being in his locker) and shot him a sympathetic look instead and told him to take a seat.
If the teachers know what's going on why don't they bother helping? Kurt thought, he didn't want her sympathy he just wanted the torment to be over.
The rest of the school day went by as normal, a few taunts from the idiotic jocks and another Rachel Berry tantrum in glee club.
So when the final bell rang Kurt was more than happy and almost literally dragged Mercedes and Tina to his car.
"Oh god I need this shopping trip after the day I've had." Kurt sighed as he started his car.
Mercedes laughed but nodded in agreement. "Are you sure you don't want to go back home and change first? I mean you don't look bad but you're only wearing one layer." Tina laughed and agreed and Kurt looked down at his outfit, he was wearing just a simple pair of black skinny jeans, lace up knee high boots (which none of the slushie touched thank god) and a simple white t-shirt which fit snugly around him and you could really tell how toned his arms where.
"I'll be fine, I don't look like a complete train wreck which is more than I can say for those jocks who walk around McKinley like they own the place, I mean I'm pretty sure I saw one of them wearing yellow flannel." Kurt wrinkled his nose in disgust.
The drive over to the mall was filled with chatter about what they're going to buy and talking about the sales that would be on, Kurt found it easy to be around Tina and Mercedes, yeah they had completely different fashion tastes but they were the nicest girls he had ever met.
All three teenagers spent a couple of hours walking around different stores until completely tired and feeling quite hungry.
"Food court?" Kurt asked carrying a few shopping bags while Tina and Mercedes walked by his sides carrying their own but less of them.
Both girls nodded in agreement and began walking towards the food court when Tina squealed.
"Oh my god look at those guys over there!" Tina pointed to a group of guys hanging (Kurt would call it loitering but whatever) by one of the stores. The boys were all dressed similar but with their own personal touch to the style, most of their clothing consisted of leather jackets and dark jeans however.
"Wow, they're hot." Mercedes commented, looking over and nodding her head in appreciation
"If you're into that just-stepped-out-of-grease look." Kurt laughed and carried on walking towards the food court.
Both girls took one last look and grabbed onto each other giggling.
"Fangirls." Kurt sighed.
The conversation while eating kept reverting back to those boys which Kurt wasn't too happy about, yeah the whole bad boy look was sexy but Kurt was more into romance.
"There was about four of them if I counted correctly, I wonder what they're like." Tina sighed dreamily.
"What about Mike?" Kurt asked, bewildered by Tina.
"There is no harm in looking, besides if I like it enough I might buy him a leather jacket," Tina said with a wink and Kurt laughed.
"Well I for one am single so I can ogle whoever I want." Mercedes added with a dramatic flick of her hair.
"You girls are crazy." Kurt muttered.
"You can't tell me they weren't hot." Mercedes said with a quizzical look.
"Okay they were but what does it even matter? They're probably a bunch of straight guys trying to pick up girls."
"Well I'm ready and waiting." Mercedes added with a laugh, effectively ending the conversation as they finished their food.
Much to Kurt's dismay, the five 'biker boys' as Mercedes and Tina shamelessly nicknamed them were standing around the exit to the mall.
"Oh great," Kurt said looking the direction of the boys.
Mercedes and Tina looked like they were about to burst into piles of hearts and glitter, Kurt laughed at the image that gave him.
He could see the boys more closely now, two of them were standing fairly close to each other and one had blonde hair while the other had dark brown, both were dressed in leather jackets but one (the blonde) had it tied around his waist and he had a black t-shirt on. There was a boy sitting down who was Asian and another boy facing him, which meant he couldn't see his face at all he just saw how the leather jacket he was wearing was hugging his shoulders tightly and the dark curls upon his head looked wild but in a good way.
Kurt's breathe hitched in his throat at the curly haired boy turned around.
"Kurt?" The boy spoke.
Mercedes and Tina both gasped and the boys across from them were looking quizzically in Kurt's direction.
"Blaine." Kurt answered, still in shock.
Kurt didn't know what possessed him to walk over at that moment but he did anyway and Blaine was smiling that same smug smile.
"I almost didn't recognise you without the hair gel and appropriate clothing." Kurt said as he stood in front of Blaine.
Blaine looked stunned at first that Kurt, or anyone for that matter was addressing him in such a way but quickly recovered, that smile returning. "There is a lot of things you don't know about me." and then he winked, of course he winked.
"Hair gel Blaine really?" Kurt heard one of the boys behind Blaine (which he completely forgot about at this point) speak up.
"Yes Jeff, got a problem?"
"No, it's just well weird." Jeff replied.
"I have to make a good impression in front of my new family." Blaine said in a mocking tone, which to Kurt sounded suspiciously like Angela.
"Oh so this is the step brother you've been talking about all day." Another boy said (which Kurt found out was called Nick)
"You're right he does have a great ass."
"Wes you're straight." Jeff said raising his eyebrows at Wes.
"Doesn't mean I don't know a great ass when I see one." Wes winked.
"As much as I'm loving this family reunion." Mercedes loudly said over the chattering of the boys and Kurt turned in shock, forgetting they even followed him here. "This is your step brother Kurt?"
"Uh yeah, this is Blaine, Blaine this is Mercedes and Tina."
Blaine nodded in their direction before looking back at Kurt, looking him up and down before saying. "Wait weren't you wearing something different when you left this morning?"
Kurt was taken aback by the question and went to come up with a lie before Tina beat him to it.
"He got slushied by some jocks."
"Slushied?" Blaine raised his eye brow quizzically.
"Yeah it's nothing, they just throw slushies at people they deem uncool and since I'm in glee and gay I'm uncool." Kurt couldn't be sure but what that anger that he saw flash in Blaine's eyes? He couldn't care could he? From what he's seen so far Blaine only wanted to get into his pants.
Before Blaine could say anything Kurt was saying goodbye to him and his friends saying something about homework and walking out of the mall with a complaining Mercedes and a sulking Tina.
"What the hell was that about Kurt?" Mercedes asked as she got into the car, after Kurt looked at with a confused expression Mercedes filled in the blanks. "Why did you have to bolt out of there? And why didn't you tell me your step brother is incredibly hot?" Kurt blushed. "Oh my god you like him don't you?" Silence. "Kurt he's going to be your step brother you can't like him!" Tina added.
"I don't like him! Yes he's attractive but he's a douche and I wanted to get out of there because of that okay?" Kurt shouted, hysterical now. He didn't like Blaine, Blaine was a pompous ass who thought with his dick and wears leather jackets and it incredibly attractive… No Kurt shook the thoughts out of his head of course he didn't like him. He couldn't. But something in Blaine's eyes showed there was something much more to him than he was letting on, Kurt didn't know if he wanted to find out or stay far away as possible.
When Kurt got home and was surprised to find Angela there sitting on the couch watching the TV.
"Hey Angela, where's dad?" Kurt asked scanning the room and realising his father wasn't there.
"Oh he's just gone to the shop, some client needed a quick repair or something." Angela smiled and Kurt saw this as an excellent opportunity to ask more about Blaine.
He ran upstairs to put his shopping away and was relieved to see that Angela hadn't left yet, he was worried because he took a bit of time re-organising his scarves.
He sat down next to her and they both watched TV in comfortable silence until Kurt casually spoke up. "So uh, I saw Blaine today." Angela nodded, still smiling but it seemed a little more forced this time. "He looked a bit … uh different."
"Oh you mean the jacket and all that 'bad boy' look and attitude he has going on? Yeah I think he's going through a phase." Angela waved her hand, like she was trying to wave the 'phase' away. "It's why I tell him to look presentable when he comes here or goes out somewhere special, I know the whole 'bad boy' look wont last." Angela smiled again, Kurt didn't realise just how much she did that, it was unnerving in a way.
"Oh." that explains it then, Blaine was just going through a 'phase' but the way Angela spoke about it made it seem there was something else, something she was leaving unsaid.
"I'm going up to my room, I have some homework to do." Kurt said goodbye and closed himself in his room.
He needed to stop thinking about Blaine, even if he did have some other layer to him other than the whole douche thing, Kurt couldn't let himself fall. Even if he's attractive and gay, he's going to be related to him soon so nothing could ever happen.
However that still didn't stop his dreams that night from being about untamed curly hair, needy kisses and leather.
