Question 23

Question 23: How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people's?

"You must be the famous, Blaine. Nice to finally meet you in person."

"It's nice to meet you too, sir."

Burt removed his hat and scratched his head while answering the boy:

"I've already told you to call me Burt, kiddo."

Kurt smiled at the interaction; Blaine had been so nervous about meeting his family. The next minute, Blaine was engulfed in a hug by Carole and Kurt thought he saw him let out a relaxed sigh.

"And I'm Carole, don't you dare call me ma'am."

"Yes, m... Carole. These are for you."

Carole took the flowers Blaine had handed Kurt while he was being hugged by the Hudmells. She stopped to smell them and winked at Kurt while Blaine was discussing the game of the afternoon with Burt. Carole called them all in, while Burt took care of the boys' luggage. Kurt took the opportunity to take Blaine's hand and squeeze it:

"They already love you."

Blaine's voice was a little emotional when he answered:

"I want them to; I know how important they are to you."

Kurt kissed his cheek. Blaine squeezed his hand back. Burt walked down the stairs pointing with his thumb behind his shoulder:

"Your bags are already in Kurt's room."

"Thanks dad."

Blaine was a little wide eyed:

"Thank you, Burt; but where am I going to sleep?"

Carole tried to suppress a chuckle while Kurt and Burt responded almost simultaneously:

"In my room."/"In Kurt's room."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Burt then proceeded to explain:

"Blaine, I no longer have the illusion that you two sleep in separated beds in New York. Even though I'd like to still believe it."

Kurt approached his boyfriend and touched his shoulder:

"Is everything alright?"

Blaine turned to him and smiled:

"It's just that our families are extremely different."

Carole walked near the boys and grabbed both their shoulders:

"I'm sure they'll like Kurt just as much as we already like you, sweetie."

She completed her sentiment with a kiss to Blaine's cheek.

"Enough about being sentimental now", she said, "those who are watching the game go to the living room and those who are making lunch follow me to the kitchen."

Blaine turned to Kurt for guidance. Kurt grinned at him:

"It's okay to watch the game and let me to help Carole. It won't be rude, I promise. Unless you are too scared to be alone with my dad..."

Blaine's eyes opened in shock:

"Should I be?"

Kurt smirked:
