"Blaine what's your middle name?" I asked when I felt him stir awake.
"Good morning to you too Sexy."
"Good morning, what's your middle name?"
"Devon."
"Mine's Elizabeth."
"I feel like there's a story there."
"Yeah, well it was Elijah when I was born but when my mom died I asked my dad if I could change it to Elizabeth in her memory as he said yes, so now it's Elizabeth."
"Your mom died?" He asked softly.
"When I was 8, she had cancer."
"That really sucks."
"It does but my dad was great and even though there was only the two of us I never felt like I was lacking for family."
"I thought you had a brother."
"Well technically he's my step brother; my dad married his mom when we were in high school."
"So you didn't grow up with a brother and have to deal with all the noogies and practical jokes."
"No but it sounds like you did."
"I did, I have an older brother Cooper."
"Are you two close?"
"Not especially, I mean he's ten years older than me so our interests never really overlapped."
"Any other siblings?"
"No just Coop. Why are so inquisitive this morning?"
"After last night I realised that we really don't know that much about each other and I wanted to fix that."
"Ok then. So how did you dad react when you came out?"
"He was really great, he told me he knew since I was three and asked for sensible heels for my birthday."
"Why did you need sensible heels?"
"If the Queen were to accept one the invitations I sent her to my tea parties I couldn't very well be wearing glitzy heels now could I?"
"Of course, what was I thinking?"
"I don't know. How did your parents react?"
"Not well, my mom went into denial and kept trying to set me up with girls and my dad basically told me all gay men were sluts and I was going to get a disease and die."
"Fuck! How old were you?"
"Thirteen."
"That's horrible!"
"That's my dad for you."
"I want to punch him. Was Cooper any better?"
"Oh yeah he was fine, he figured that as a gay man I could help him get chicks."
"That's....odd."
"Cooper is odd. Are we going stay in bed all day? I mean I'm fine with it but I'm kinda hungry."
"We can get up but I reserve the right to ask you more questions as I think of them."
I started to get up and he pulled me back down.
"I never got a good morning kiss Sexy."
I kissed him softly. "What we you like for breakfast?"
"Pancakes please."
We got out of bed and pulled on some pants before walking to the kitchen where I began to make the pancakes while he pit on the coffee and set the table. After we finished breakfast we decided to just have a lazy day until Blaine went to work and I talked him into watching a Golden Girls marathon. We had just started the last episode that I had Tivo'd when my phone rang.
"Hi dad. How's DC?" I answered my phone.
"It's good; I think I'm making real progress. You got time to talk to you old man or you and Adam got plans?"
"Oh wow, we haven't talked in a while. That's not a thing anymore."
"You and Adam?"
"Yeah that's finished. And of course I have time for you I was just watching some TV with Blaine but we can always finish watching it later." I said getting off the couch and walking to my room.
"Who's Blaine?"
"Mine and Rachel's roommate."
"You two get along ok?"
"Yeah dad we get along great."
"Good. What happened with you and Adam?"
"It just wasn't right so I broke it off."
"I never did like that kid for you."
"You never said anything."
"What was I supposed to say?"
"Fair point." I looked at my clock and realised Blaine would be leaving for work soon so I walked back out to the living room so I could get my kiss.
"How's New York?"
"New York is great, I'm really happy dad."
"Good. NYADA & Vogue still treating you well?"
"Yes. How is Carole? I feel like I haven't spoken to her in ages."
"She's great, she sends her love."
"Give her my love back and a huge hug for me ok?"
"Of course."
"Have you been eating properly?"
"Yes Kurt."
Blaine gave me a small wave and started to head towards the door; I picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it at him. He turned and looked at me, so I tapped my cheek scowling at him. He smiled and then came over and gently kissed my cheek before heading out to work.
"Good."
"Have you called your brother lately?"
"Yeah I called him a little over a week ago, I know it seems like a long time ago but it's hard for us to find time to talk with our class schedules."
"Yeah I understand. I'll tell you said hi next time I talk to him."
"That would be great."
"I should let you go kid, you probably have homework."
"Yeah, nothing major but I do have a few things to work on. I love you dad."
"Love you too Kurt. Talk to you soon."
"Bye."
After I hung up with my dad I grabbed myself some dinner and went about doing my homework. It took me longer than expected and by the time I was finished I was exhausted, I did my moisturizing routine and settled into bed. But I couldn't fall asleep, after tossing and turning for what felt like ages I looked at my clock 12:30 aka the time Blaine normally got home. I sighed realising he wouldn't be coming in here to sleep as we hadn't had sex today and I didn't ask him to sleep in here anyway. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, 1am, ok I just need to lie still and clear my mind and I'll fall asleep, 2am fuck this shit. I thought throwing my blankets off. I got out of bed and went to Blaine's room where I shucked off my pajamas and climbed into bed, he kept his eyes closed but opened his arms for me.
"I couldn't sleep without my human pillow." I told him snuggling into his chest, falling asleep almost immediately.
