Question 10

Question 10: If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?

Blaine brought the snacks to their coffee table only to find Kurt humming silly melodies while tiding up the place:

"La, la, la, how I love Thanksgiving..."

Blaine interrupted him:

"Technically, Thanksgiving was last Thursday..."

Kurt poked his tongue out at him:

"If we are celebrating Friendsgiving tonight, it's still Thanksgiving for me."

Blaine chuckled at his friend's logic and went back to check things on the kitchen. Soon, they heard the doorbell and went to open it and finding Rachel soaking wet.

"Oh, boys, I don't think anyone else is coming, it's raining cats and dogs outside. I was already on the subway."

Blaine took his phone out of his pocket to find several messages from people telling them they wouldn't be coming. He informed it to Rachel and Kurt who were trying to dry her up in the bathroom.

"Sorry, Kurt; it will ruin your perfectly planned Friendsgiving."

The other boy just shrugged:

"My favorites are here. Besides, I don't think Rachel can make it home today with all this rain. We can have a sleepover for old times' sake."

Rachel appeared from the bathroom in one of Kurt's pajamas. She was still drying her hair and exclaiming:

"I vote that we build a tent and sleep all together in the living room. I know I'm scared of thunders and Kurt used to be too."

Kurt looked at Rachel with daggers in his eyes and said between clenched teeth:

"You didn't need to tell Blaine that."

Blaine find it cute when Kurt tried to hide his flaws from him; usually Blaine had seen said flaw active in Kurt. But again, maybe he paid too much attention to his roommate. Before he could say anything, a thunder clapped outside making Kurt and Rachel jump a foot into the air. Kurt had grabbed the girl and proclaimed:

"It's decided, we're all sleeping together."

Sleeping together with Kurt? Could Blaine's heart restrain itself from confessing all his love for the boy? Maybe he should make sure to put Rachel between them.

For Blaine's luck (or his doom), Kurt lied in the middle. So close to Blaine that it was his arm the pale boy took when another thunder clapped outside. Blaine liked the sensation of their linked arms. He cleared his throat and proposed:

"What if we enjoy the mood of the night and watch some scary movies?"

Rachel was considering it, but Kurt put his foot down immediately:

"No way! Everybody know I'm a scared bunny as it is; I'm not watching scary movies in a thunderstorm night."

Blaine chuckled:

"You could grab on to my arm..."

Rachel interrupted before Kurt could answer:

"Get a room, you two! It's enough that during the weekend I listened to my fathers having make-up sex after one of their many fights."

Kurt turned his attention to his friend, concerned:

"You fathers are fighting that much?"

Rachel rolled her eyes:

"All day long. Thanksgiving was hell. They were either fighting or making up. I think they'll get a divorce soon."

Kurt let go of Blaine's arm to hug his distressed friend. Blaine missed his warmth, but ended deciding to hug the girl too. He said:

"Well, parents being parents, am I right? My parents have stopped fighting ages ago, but I think they are only together for appearances' sake. I see no heat between them. However, Cooper was there with us; I could count on his endless soliloquy to keep me entertained during the weekend."

Kurt turned his attention to him:

"Poor Blainey! I spent a couple of days with Cooper and he really is nonstop."

Blaine smiled with just his lips and quickly rubbed the pale boy's arm:

"You don't need to pity me. I mean, I know better than anyone how obnoxious he can be, but I love my brother and I know he loves me. When I first came out, my father didn't take it so well, my mother was trying to back me up without upsetting my father and Coop was really the one who was there for me. You know brothers... uh... I mean, you two probably don't know... but..."

Kurt took him out of his misery:

"I know brothers. I didn't spend that much time with Finn, but we had quality time together. And epic fights! He would complain about everything I did, but when it was someone else that pointed out something I was doing "wrong", Finn would turn into a beast to protect me."

"Oh, Kurt, he must have been such a good brother..."

Rachel was the one to answer Blaine's unasked question:

"He was the best."

Kurt pouted again and hugged the girl:

"You two are going to make me cry."

Rachel drew closer to his embrace and Blaine approached them to say:

"Sorry, Kurt."

The other boy passed an arm around him too:

"No need to be sorry. Let's just talk about happier things. My weekend was fantastic – I got lucky on the parents' lottery. Twice"

Rachel chuckled:

"Your father is indeed amazing and Carole is just... more than adorable."

Kurt sighed and exclaimed:

"That's because you never knew my mother. I mean, I love Carole; but Elizabeth Hummel was the most incredible person in the world."

Blaine, still nested in one of Kurt's arms, asked:

"But you wouldn't change one tiny thing of your upbringing?"

Kurt considered for a while, biting his lower lip in deep thought:

"I wish my mother didn't have to die. Specially when I was so young. I can only imagine her besides Congressman Hummel. That's to say, if she wouldn't have joined politics before him."

Kurt was grinning and glowing. Blaine placed a kiss on his cheek:

"You know how much I want to meet your father for all the things you tell me about him. However, I truly want to meet your mother, somehow."

Kurt blushed an adorable shade of pink. He took a chug of his beer and kissed Blaine's cheek too:

"You'll be invited to the Hummel household to meet my father and we'll see all the photos and mementos I have of my mother."

"It's a date."

Kurt blushed again and it was Blaine's turn to chug on his beer. It was better not try to clarify things with his last statement.
