When Blaine arrived to school on Monday morning he was holding a coffee for Kurt who arrived with his dad. Kurt beamed up at him and looked like he wanted to hug him but seeing the coffee he just pecked him on the lips mindful his dad was still new to the whole idea. "Hi," Blaine breathed after they parted smiling widely at the taller boy. "Non-fat mocha?" Kurt grinned "You know me well already,"

"Cappuccino for you too Burt," Blaine held out the other cup to the elder man who grinned at Kurt "Did I mention I like this kid, he's a keeper Kurt,"

"You have, a million times," Kurt smiled fondly as Burt thanked Blaine for the coffee and then gave him the fatherly warning he was expecting "Now I'm okay with you dating my son, you know that, but if you hurt him in anyway-"

Kurt gave his dad a glare and wrapped his arm around Blaine's waist despite holding his mocha "Dad…"

"I trust Blaine! I'm just saying as your father…and with everything you been through son I need to make sure,"

Burt laughed at Kurt's horrified look when Blaine said "I give you permission to shoot me if I ever hurt Kurt," Burt shook his head "I think that won't be necessary, don't look so worried Kurt, now come on let's get you organised,"

Burt looked to Blaine "Can you hold my cup while I go get Kurt's suitcase," Blaine shook his head "I'll get that, you let Kurt give you a tour,"

"There's two suitcases," Burt warned but Blaine just smiled "Go, I got it,"

Blaine kissed Kurt once more just before he followed his dad outside and went to get his suitcases.

Blaine didn't mind the heavy load as he took the suitcases inside despite Kurt's pleading of letting him help. He liked helping his boyfriend settle in, and he was more than happy to help Kurt if that meant he'd be living with him.

When he got to their room he placed the suitcases on the floor beside Kurt's bed and it appears Kurt had drank his mocha as he put it down on the bedside table. Blaine used this opportunity to wrap his arm around Kurt's waist.

He really wanted to kiss him more but he didn't want Burt to think he was taking advantage of the situation.

"It's a nice place," Burt commented and Kurt agreed "And the students are so nice dad,"

"Yeah I saw that when that boy gave you a high five, they're not like that at McKinley, they even said hello to me,"

"They're in the Warblers they know me because of Blaine,"

"Do they know you're gay?"

"Yes dad,"

"No one has a problem with people like us," Blaine added "At this school everyone gets treated the same, it's as simple as that, I told Kurt the same thing, which is why I thought it'd be a safe and good place for Kurt to come to continue his studies,"

Burt nodded seeming impressed "Alright kiddo, do they know about your situation?" Kurt shook his head and smiled at Blaine's direction "Only the Warblers, it's not like McKinley where everything is a gossip town," Burt gave the nod of approval "Great, that's great...I guess I better go because you have class soon and you need to finish unpacking, will you be alright?" Kurt smiled and hugged his dad briefly letting go of Blaine "Thank you for coming dad, I'll be fine I promise, I love you,"

"I love you too kiddo, I'm proud of you always know that, I'm still so sorry for everything Kurt,"

"It's not your fault dad, we talked about this, you need to forgive yourself," Burt hugged his son tightly before letting go.

"Blaine," Burt addressed holding out a hand and Blaine shook it smiling as well. "Can I speak to you for a minute before I go outside?" Kurt was glaring at his dad and warned "Dad…" but

Blaine just smiled and nodded "Sure thing," He squeezed Kurt's hand for reassurance and kissed his cheek before following Burt into the hallway. Burt looked around and saw there were no boys present. Blaine felt a little bit intimidated but he liked Kurt's dad so he would get through it.

"Now like I said before I'm trusting you with my son here, and I expect you treat him right, do not under any circumstance pressure him into doing something he isn't ready for or we won't be as good friends as of now, especially since you two are rooming together, I also expect you not to distract him too much from his school work, but I let you two room together because I trust him with you given previous situations,"

"I understand that sir, and I understand your concerns. I will not take Kurt's safety for granted and everything we do will be of mutual agreement, this is my first relationship too Burt and I don't want to mess it up," Burt eyed him carefully and then in a low voice added staring at Blaine in the eyes "Have you and Kurt talked about…you know?"

Blaine blushed "We um…we looked over his pamphlets on our picnic date and discussed what we felt comfortable doing," Burt's eyes raised and then he smiled but he coughed looking a little bit awkward now, once more checking to see if there were any other students nearby.

"You're a good kid Blaine…but I still want you to take this," He handed over a couple of small packets in Blaine's hand "I don't know what stage you guys are at yet in your relationship, but I want you to have that in case,"

Mortified Blaine realised what it was and flushed incredibly hard under Burt's intense stare as he eventually pulled his act together and took the condoms realising they were different sizes, Burt obviously wasn't sure what to get, stashing it in his pants pockets. Ears burning he added "Were definitely not there yet sir…"

Burt nodded seeming relieved "I like you Blaine, and I can see Kurt likes you too, but doesn't mean I don't remember what it feels like to be a teenager, giving that to you just gives me one less thing to worry about, especially being so far from home,"

Blaine didn't know what to say except croaking out "I u-understand sir,"

"Dad are you done scaring Blaine now?" Kurt called from inside and Burt said for him to come out. Kurt took one look at Blaine's face and then groaned looking to his father "What did you say to him dad?"

Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and feeling less nervous Blaine looked to his boyfriend. Kurt rewarded him with a confident smile and Blaine smiled back.

"Just clearing things up, now Kurt I expect you two over for dinner on Friday alright?" Burt glanced at both Kurt and Blaine who agreed and then Kurt hugged his father and saw him to his car. Blaine still mortified took out his …present from Burt and placed them in his sock drawer waiting for Kurt to come back he decided to unlock his bags so he could start helping him organise his things like he said he would on the phone.

When Kurt came back 10 minutes later he immediately kissed Blaine. Surprised when Blaine was basically shoved against a wall, Blaine whimpered loudly and let his hands roam over Kurt's delicate figure.

"It was so hard for me not to do that while he was here," Blaine admitted as Kurt just moaned in agreement against his lips. Blaine attacked Kurt's lips the same way Kurt had until Kurt heard footsteps, eyes widened they broke apart and Kurt realised with horror as he glanced in the mirror his hair was a mess, and Blaine's tie and blazer was out of place, his lips swollen from Kurt's talented mouth. Burt looked in then and eyed them suspiciously. Kurt in a high pitched voice called "Dad! What are you doing back I thought you'd gone," one glance at Blaine who was still trying to fix his tie and he grinned "Thought I was gone or hoping for me to be gone?"

Kurt stammered "We argh…no of course not dad,"

Burt just shrugged. "I came back to give you this," Kurt looked thrilled as Burt held out his phone and scarf. "Oh my god, thank you dad!"

"Did you want to take anything to eat for the ride?" Blaine asked politely trying to ease the tension in the room but Burt just chuckled "No thanks kid,"

"I wondered where I had put those, thank you dad…" Kurt looked innocent and Blaine tried hard not to laugh as he attempted to plaster a – thank god you were here look

"No worries kiddo," He gave them one more look and Blaine added "You sure? We don't want you to leave on an empty stomach, I have sandwiches in the fridge,"

Burt didn't budge "Boys, it's obvious you were kissing, you can stop the pretence, Blaine a word please,"

Kurt was the first to speak as he came to his boyfriend's aid. "Dad please don't be mad at Blaine, I'm allowed to kiss my boyfriend right? This isn't a big deal,"

"Actually this is a big deal Kurt, I'm not going to be here to act like the fatherly figure 24/7 so I need to set things straight before I leave, and that requires me talking with Blaine outside for a bit,"

Not wanting to disappoint his father again he gave Blaine look of apology but Blaine just gave him a look back to say it was okay "I'll be in there in a minute, you finish packing" He said and Kurt nodded. Blaine followed Burt back to the hallway were students were now on their way to class. Burt waited until they were alone. Blaine turned to face the music and looked at Burt with as much posture and maturity he could.

"Mr Hummel please forgive me. I don't want you to think this is all Kurt and I…" Burt held up a hand "Save it Blaine, remember I know what it feels like to be a teenager, why do you think I could tell you boys were kissing, your hair looks a mess and Kurt never looked so red-faced before when I basically walked in on you two,"

"I just…don't want you to regret him moving in with me sir, we really don't do anything beyond kissing," and making out. Blaine mentally added but he didn't dare say that to Burt. Burt was not stupid though. "You love my son?"

Blaine nodded "I do sir, very much," Burt smiled "I can tell he loves you too," He brought out more packets from his pants. "I just wanted to see for myself if I could trust you to in being alone together, but now I still think I'd rather be careful. I think you'll need those too, but don't forget you two have class in an hour, don't think I didn't read the brochure, and if I hear anything bad in Kurt's reports or him missing classes because you two are being inappropriate from the principal I'll have him change rooms got it?"

Blaine nodded wordlessly and once more Burt said goodbye and left with a clap on his shoulder.

"And don't forget I have a shot gun Blaine, say goodbye to Kurt for me,"

Blaine noticed Burt's corner of his mouth turning upwards as he said bye and went to go back to his car.

Groaning in embarrassment Blaine hit his back to the wall until Kurt came out he had been staring after where Burt left "Where's dad?" Blaine returned his attention to his boyfriend and said "He said to say goodbye, we're okay Kurt, don't look so worried," Kurt beamed then pleased to hear that; but then the happy look was replaced by something else as he took his hand and noticed he had something in it "What are THOSE?"

Kurt was giving him a glare when he tried to hide them from Kurt too embarrassed to show them but Kurt grabbed his hand and took the packets, reading the label. Shocked he turned to Blaine "I'm not ready for sex Blaine," Blaine immediately stepped closer to calm Kurt down but Kurt was not having it. He stormed into the room and Blaine followed.

"Your dad gave me them. He had some in his pockets. I know you're not ready sweetheart," Kurt looked horrified at the mention of his dad as he turned to face him hands on his hips now "Don't sweetheart me and try sugar coat it. You think I would believe my dad would just willingly give them to my boyfriend!?" Blaine didn't know what to say if Kurt didn't believe him, and he wasn't used to seeing Kurt this angry, Blaine just shrugged "But it's the truth," Kurt shook his head and pointed a finger.

"My dad gave me the talk remember darling," he poked Blaine's chest with his finger and poked again making him walk backwards "He said on your 30th birthday it's a great gift for yourself, you'll have to come up with a better excuse then that Blaine – or wait….is it for somebody else?" Kurt now asked and Blaine's eyes widened and he laughed awkwardly. "No! Kurt you're acting silly," Trying to reach out to him failed because Kurt just shoved him off.

Kurt huffed "I'm silly now am I?"

Blaine stared "Well now yes you are being a little – why would I lie to you?" Kurt shrugged and then stepped closer his eyes were filled with rage "Why else would you have –have those if you know I'm not ready! Why would you try to hide them from me?"

Blaine couldn't believe this. "I hid them because I know you're not ready and didn't want you to think I'm pressuring you in anyway, can we just go back to unpacking please?" He knew better than to fight back and hurt people but he had to explain himself. Kurt looked hurt "You just admitted to having them so now you're saying it was you and not my dad, stop trying to get out of this Blaine and admit that you bought those" He just shook his head "You're twisting my words Kurt," and went for the door. Kurt called out "Where are you going?!" Angry, Blaine threw the packets of protection into the bin on his way out.

He was too upset to say anything back. He needed to get away. What hurt was that he didn't hear Kurt follow him. Blaine headed to class deciding it would be a good distraction. "Hey Blaine," Wes said catching up to him as he walked in the classroom. He offered a weak smile "Hey,"

"How's Kurt settling in?" David asked when Blaine sat down next to his friends. Blaine sighed "He's doing fine," Or he was until he saw the stupid condoms.

Wes and David shot themselves a look and Blaine just shook his head "I really don't want to talk about this right now okay? It's between me and Kurt," Both boys nodded. "Heard you're going back to the shelter tonight, looking forward to it?" David asked and Blaine forgot he had agreed to go back, but he smiled thinking about that. "Yeah I am," it'd be another way to distract himself.

Blaine knew he couldn't avoid Kurt all day. He had class with him in 5th period, but until then he was content spending the day focusing on his classes. Blaine was too mad otherwise to think of his boyfriend. He ignored the new texts he was receiving. He had checked the first one hoping Kurt would come to his senses but that wasn't the case

Real mature walking away from a conversation Blaine

Blaine not willing to throw out his expensive phone out the window decided to just turn it off for the day.

He'd done everything right by Kurt, and he didn't need to take this kind of treatment. His mother always taught him that especially after all the bullying.

Turns out Blaine didn't have to worry about confronting Kurt in 5th period. The Warblers were told there was an emergency meeting and only Warblers were allowed the privilege of not attending class on some occasions.

Since Kurt wasn't yet a Warbler Blaine didn't have to worry about what he was going to say. Even though he knew he didn't have a reason to apologise, he missed Kurt already.

They looked at him eager for his help and considering he hadn't been there for a while he just smiled at them and broke out into song "Oh Yeah!" The boys joined him in on Misery. Which is exactly how Blaine felt right now, and he cheered "At Regionals! You met our opening number,"

The boys cheered and Wes asked them to quiet down. Blaine felt glad for the distraction but as he was about to step outside he muttered an apology not looking up at who he had bumped into until he saw the pale arm reach for his.

"Kurt?"

He glanced up and confirming his thoughts there stood his boyfriend looking very determined to get his attention. "We need to talk Blaine,"

Blaine shook his head "I just need to be alone for a while, please respect that," Blaine tried to move past him. He looked at Kurt's sad expression and then stopped for a moment "We will talk, I just don't want to say something I'll regret okay, just not now?" Kurt nodded appearing somewhat guilty. Good Blaine thought but then one more glance at Kurt and he just wanted to kiss the worry away. He held his ground though. Instead of kissing him he stroked Kurt's cheek. "I won't be in the dorm tonight," Kurt seemed to think it was because of him as he hang his head he whispered "I understand," He looked up eyes growing watery but stubbornly not letting the tear falls he added

"You were great in there Blaine," Kurt whispered. Just as Kurt turned around he heard him say "I love you," very quietly as there were boys rushing past them for the next class. Blaine didn't get a chance to say it back as Kurt was gone now.

Blaine sighed. He got his phone back out and turned it on.

I'm sorry Blaine. I acted irrationally and I understand if you don't want to speak to me but I'd like a chance to apologise

He looked at the next one

Please Please let me apologise I love you, I don't want to lose you over this

Blaine felt horrible for turning his phone of now especially when he heard Kurt's sobs on the voicemail "Blaine I talked to my dad, you were right. God I'm such a bitch I didn't even give you a chance…please forgive me, please, I love you, I know you're in the Warblers common room, I asked David. I'm coming to find you – I understand if you don't want us to be together anymore, I just…I'm so sorry, I'm…I hate myself right now,"

Which must have been where he went before his next text

You're amazing. You take my breath away. I don't deserve you

Blaine ran then. He knew he had to go to his last class, but he'd apologise later if he had to, he found Kurt just as he was heading into his next class. He looked devastated and uninterested in what was going on around him as he watched while Jeff tried to cheer him up.

Blaine pulled Kurt out into the hallways a bit too roughly before he went inside the classroom. Kurt's eyes widened "Blaine?"

Blaine just pulled him along and Kurt followed silently until they reached an empty closet. Blaine pulled him inside and closed the door. He kissed him just as Kurt was talking "Blaine I'm so Mph!"

Tears now running down Kurt's face Blaine kissed them away "It's okay,"

"No, it's not. I failed you," Kurt told and Blaine just kissed him again "You were right in some respect, I shouldn't have just walked away like that, and you're wrong you do deserve me, you deserve to be loved, and I do Kurt. I love you," He kissed him gently now and Kurt sighed into it and he still appeared so upset by it all "I'm sorry,"

"I forgive you, now come on. I'll escort you to class," Blaine wiped his tears and kissed him one last time before taking him to his room. He looked at Kurt's teacher "I'm so sorry mam for keeping Kurt from class, I was talking to him about joining the Warblers," Kurt's teacher smiled "Thank you Blaine, you better go to class, do you want a pass?"

Blaine nodded "Yes please Mrs Hollingsworth if you don't mind," Kurt's teacher asked him how the Warblers were going and one of the boys shouted "Were gonna win Regionals this year, that's how were going!" The students clapped and cheered and Blaine called out "Oh yeah!" and the Warblers in the room repeated the phrase "Oh yeah!" and he laughed. The women laughed with them "Alright boys settle down, settle down," He grabbed the green pass thanking her as Mrs Hollingsworth went to the chalkboard he saw his friends grinning and then his eyes went to Kurt and he smiled at the other boy and winked at him.

Some students snickered and he heard the teacher call out "Is there something you'd like to share boys?" She turned around and there was a chorus of "No mam,"

"I'd suggest being quiet and paying attention then, Blaine back to class,"

Blaine wasn't one to disagree with authority and turned back outside.

I never said anything about joining the Warblers – Kurt

Do I need to convince you why it would be beneficial? – Blaine

Considering my behaviour this morning, I'll do this for you, once again I'm so sorry – I love you xx – Kurt

I love you too xxoo now pay attention Mrs Hollingsworth knows our secret of hiding the phones under the table

Now you tell me, she just sent me a glare – Kurt

Blaine laughed and turned his own phone off while in his classroom. His teacher had arrived late so he hadn't even needed the pass.
