Three Times The Hummel Verse

First Meetings

Kurt was so excited. He was finally going to meet this mystery girl that had his brother wrapped around her little finger.

He had somehow managed to convince Carson to bring Shannon up to the city for a day of shopping. He didn't know anything about the girl, but Kurt at least hoped that she had a decent sense of fashion. And if she didn't, well... Kurt was going to fix that quickly.

"Blaine! They'll be here soon. Will you please help me tidy up the loft?" Kurt shouted towards their bedroom where Blaine was supposed to be getting dressed.

Not a moment later, the man appeared, sporting nothing but boxer shorts and a huge yawn. "Wait... Who's coming today? And why do we need to clean Kurt, this place is already spotless."

Kurt sighed before addressing his husband again. "Today is the day that we are going to meet Shannon! Remember? We're going to go to the mall together."

Realization fell upon Blaine's face as he looked at the clock for the first time that day. "When are they supposed to get here?" He asked fearfully.

Smugly, Kurt grinned. "In about twenty minutes. Care to get dressed now?"

Blaine nodded, and rushed back towards their bedroom. Kurt began to laugh at his husbands silliness, and then went straight back to cleaning.

"So, who do I get to meet today?" Shannon asked some-what timidly from the passenger seat of the car. They had just pulled out of a Dunk'n Donuts drive through half way to the city due to Carson's persistent need for coffee so early in the morning. Shannon hated coffee, so she just got a hot chocolate. She took a large sip from her warm cup as she waited for him to answer.

Carson smiled towards her. "Well, the plan was to meet at the mall, but instead we are heading over to Kurt's place."

Shannon smiled back, knowing what he was trying to do. "You know, avoiding my question doesn't make me less nervous. Who are all the people I am going to be meeting today. I know you told me once before, but I forgot."

Carson laughed, knowing her short term memory wasn't exactly the best. He thought it was cute how she left multiple sticky notes for different things all over her (and now his) apartment. "Well, you'll get to meet Kurt, and his husband Blaine. They've been dying to meet you. Well, Kurt has at least.  Then after lunch, my step-brother Finn and his fiancé Rachel plan to meet up with us. And if we end up staying up at the city that long, Chris will join us for dinner back at Kurt and Blaine's."

Carson could tell that she was trying to process everything in her head. He could also tell that she had become even more nervous. He placed his hand that he wasn't driving with on top of hers. "Relax. They'll love you."

Shannon smiled reassuringly, then they delved into their comfortable silence they loved so much, both lost in their own thoughts.

"They're here!" Kurt all but shouted as he ran towards the front door to let them in. He was so excited he could hardly stand it.

Carson had been with many girls and boys over the past couple of years, but he had never been with them long enough to actually call it a relationship. He also had never been with anyone he had wanted to introduce to his friends and family. He and Shannon had officially been together for a month now, and it was very obvious how much he adored her.

This in itself made Kurt crazy as he tried to imagine what could possibly be so special about this one girl.

Blaine met Kurt at the door, and together they opened it.
