A beautiful day in the neighbourhood
Summary: Kurt goes home to Lima for the holidays. There, he meets his parents' new neighbours, the Andersons. Kurt specifically is drawn to their youngest son, Blaine.
Notes: Hello everyone! This is my Klaine Secret Santa gift for @twinkkurt! I was a bit nervous when I got your username, because I love your art so much and I, uh, wanted to impress you. I hope you like it. I really liked writing it.
An additional thanks to Beth @quizasvivamos, who helped with brainstorming the title.
Happy reading!
AO3 | S&C
--
Kurt’s staring out of the window of his parents’ house with a wistful smile on his face.
He loves New York with his whole heart, but he has to admit that Lima has its charm. Back when he was a teen, he never thought he’d think this way.
Maybe now that he no longer lives here, he’s able to look at it in a different way. It’s nice to be here, with the knowledge that he’ll eventually go back home. Besides, New York is too loud and eccentric and a part of Kurt thrives because of it, but another part of him has learnt to appreciate this quieter atmosphere of Lima.
Oh, and it helps that Kurt never has to run into anyone from high school ever again. All his closest Glee club friends have left Lima as well, so he has no reason to seek out anyone who might recognise him from school. No longer being a high schooler is definitely the biggest perk of living in New York. High school was the main reason he couldn’t ever appreciate the quiet life here, because his life was never quiet. He could never appreciate the small tight-knit community feel, because he didn’t feel like he was welcomed into it.
But now he’s an adult who only comes back to Lima every now and then to see family and friends who are also visiting.
Kurt sighs as he watches a neighbour walk his dog. The neighbour sees him staring and smiles and waves. This truly is different from the rapid pace of the big city. His neighbour in New York barely gives him the time of day and she’s moving out within a few days. Kurt will not miss her. This man, on the other hand, has already shown Kurt more kindness in these few seconds than the other neighbour has in years.
Also, Kurt’s never seen this man in his life. He certainly doesn’t remember him.
“That’s Mr. Anderson,” Kurt hears.
He looks over his shoulder. His dad is sat on the sofa with a book open on his lap, but he also noticed Mr. Anderson walking past the house.
“Is he new in the neighbourhood?” Kurt asks.
His dad nods.
“Yes, he and his wife moved here a couple of weeks ago from Westerville. Apparently they had been planning on moving to a smaller house ever since their youngest son moved out.”
“And they moved to a random suburb in Lima, of all places?” Kurt asks, bemused.
His dad barks out a laugh.
“I know it’s hard to believe for a big city lover, but people still willingly move to the Midwest,” his dad says with a jokey tone.
Kurt moves away from the window and forgets about Mr. Anderson. Instead, he cosies up against his dad and he watches a rerun of Drag Race. His dad keeps reading, since he’s not bothered by the noise. Carole later comes into the living room and when she sees Drag Race is on, she eagerly joins Kurt.
This is what Kurt loves about Lima.
This is what he misses the most when he’s in New York.
This is also one of the moments he misses his brother, but he doesn’t want to bring it up when Carole is trash-talking the judging section. Besides, Kurt’s pretty certain she misses him too at this moment. It goes unsaid.
He and Carole watch three episodes in a row when the doorbell rings. It’s the delivery of groceries. Kurt’s dad gives the delivery person a huge tip to celebrate the holidays and the three of them put them away while chatting about the holiday plans. Tomorrow, some extended family members are coming over for Christmas and Kurt and Carole are going to cook a grand meal for everyone, while Kurt’s dad is going to set up a makeshift bar.
Everyone is going to be perfect.
Hopefully.
But when Kurt and his family are finished putting away the groceries, Kurt realises that they’re missing an ingredient.
“Rosemary! Carole, we are missing the rosemary!” Kurt exclaims. He checks the receipt again, but it really isn’t on it. Which is good, because then they also didn’t pay for it, but they need the rosemary.
Carole realises she forgot to order it, which can happen, but now Kurt’s fucked.
“Calm down, Kurt,” his dad says, “I will drive to the store tomorrow morning before the guests arrive.”
“I appreciate it, dad,” Kurt pouts, “But Carole and I need to start now, because it needs to be in the fridge overnight!”
“Ah. That’s… a problem,” his dad admits.
But then Carole lets out a small gasp.
“Wait a second! Burt, doesn’t Pam have a little herb garden?”
Kurt’s dad thinks it over.
“Yes, she does,” he answers, “But it’s winter, Carole.”
“But she might have some that she’s harvested earlier in the year,” Carole points out, “And Pam is a more experienced gardener. If there’s a way to keep rosemary alive in winter, then she’d know it!”
“Oh, you have a point there. Can we ask if she has some to spare?”
“I think we can just ask her. She wouldn’t mind,” Carole continues, “Kurt can go, because he knows how much we need. He found the recipe on the internet!”
“Brilliant,” his dad says, “Great plan, Carole.”
“That’s why you’re married to me,” Carole jokes.
Kurt waves his arms to get his parents’ attention.
“Hi, hello,” he says, “I love this idea. Who’s Pam?”
“Pam Anderson, the new neighbour,” Carole answers.
“Mr. Anderson’s wife,” his dad adds for clarification.
“On it,” Kurt says.
Carole tells Kurt that the Andersons moved into the house left of theirs, which delights Kurt, since he never really liked Ms. Johnson and her weird grandson anyway. He grabs his coat, since it’s very cold outside, and tells his dad and Carole that he’d be back soon.
The Andersons have a festive wreath on their front door and it makes Kurt smiles. He rings the bell and waits for Mr. Anderson or his wife to open the door. He can already hear the dog bark and his smile widens.
The door opens and Kurt’s ready to introduce himself and ask if Pam is around, but when he sees the man who’s opened the door, he’s rendered speechless. It’s not Mr. Anderson, but it’s another man. He must be around Kurt’s age and he’s dressed in a cozy sweater with a cute checkered bowtie to top it all off.
Kurt’s dad mentioned that the Andersons have a son and this must be him. Kurt assumes he’s also visiting family for the holidays.
“Uh, hello?” the son asks after a short silence. He looks a bit confused and Kurt realises he’s standing on this porch in complete silence, staring at him.
Right. Not a great first impression.
Kurt quickly composes himself.
“Hi, uh, my name is Kurt,” he says and he mentally high-fives himself for being able to sound coherent, “My parents live next door. The Hummel-Hudsons.”
A look of understanding crosses the man’s face. Now Kurt is no longer a random person that came out of nowhere. That’s progress.
“Anyway, my stepmother said that your, uh, mother might have some spare rosemary? We don’t have any and we really need it for the recipe that we’re trying out.”
The man steps aside so that Kurt can come inside.
“Come on in, it’s too cold to wait outside.”
“Thanks.”
Kurt follows the man to the living room where he’s greeted by an enthusiastic dog. There are three other adults. Kurt recognises Mr. Anderson, but there’s also a woman, presumably Pam, and another man who looks slightly older than the son. The son and Kurt explain the situation and, as Carole predicted, Pam is eager to help out.
“Oh, I need to go outside to harvest some,” Pam says.
“If it’s too much of a hassle-”
“Nonsense,” Pam cuts him off, “I’ll be back in a jiffy. Blaine, can you find my easy shoes?”
“They’re probably still at the back door where you left them, iná,” the son, who’s apparently named Blaine, says.
“Smartass,” Pam jokes.
Kurt tells Pam how much he and Carole need and Pam goes outside. Kurt’s standing awkwardly in this family’s living room, but luckily, the dog takes an interest in him, so Kurt has something to do.
“You like pets?” he says while petting the huge Bernese mountain dog.
“Oh, she adores them,” Blaine says.
“Who’s a good girl?” Kurt coos.
“Well, she wasn’t a good girl earlier today when she made me walk five extra blocks,” the still unnamed man says, “She’s strong and doesn’t listen when she doesn’t want to.”
“She got that from you then, Cooper,” Mr. Anderson teases.
“Dad!”
Kurt smiles. He likes this family. He can see they all treat each other kindly and that they are close, the same way his family works. Pam comes back with a handful of rosemary for Kurt and he thanks her profusely.
“No biggie,” she says, “Happy holidays.”
Blaine walks Kurt towards the door and they don’t say much, which is fine by Kurt, because then he has less opportunity to embarrass himself. He hopes he isn’t red in the face and if he is, then hopefully Blaine will think it’s because of the cold.
“Thanks again,” Kurt says and leaves.
Once he’s back in his own kitchen, he hands the herbs to Carole, who’s delighted. She’d already started meal prepping.
“Did you know that Mr. and Mrs. Anderson’s sons are visiting?” Kurt asks.
“Oh, no I wasn’t aware.”
“Me neither.”
“Have you met him- them before?”
“Only Cooper, the eldest,” his dad answers, “He helped his parents move in. The youngest couldn’t make it because of his studies. Cooper is… interesting.”
He and Carole share a private smile and Kurt needs to remind himself to ask about that later, but now he has a more pressing matter.
“And the youngest?”
Carole shrugs.
“Pam says he barely has time to visit, which everyone dislikes, but we get it.”
Kurt also gets it. He wishes he could be here with family more often.
“I did hear that he lives in New York as well!” Kurt’s dad says. Now, that is interesting. “Cooper lives in LA, and Blaine lives in New York. I mean, he’s called Blaine, right?”
He directs that last question to Carole, but Kurt answers it.
“Yeah, he’s named Blaine. I just met him.”
“Oh lovely,” Carole says, “What are the odds? Maybe you two can meet up in New York.”
“… I barely know him, Carole,” Kurt says quietly.
“So?” Carole says back, “Nowadays, people your age meet each other online. I don’t think that barely knowing anyone is a barrier these days.”
“She has a point,” Kurt’s dad adds.
“Alright. Alright,” Kurt says.
The truth is that it sounds nice to get to know Blaine a bit more. Kurt’s not stupid. He understands that he finds Blaine cute. It’s been a while since he met a guy who immediately renders him speechless, but Kurt also knows from experiences that looks aren’t everything. He’s here in Lima to see him family, not to jump on the neighbours’ son.
He and Carole continue their meal prepping and the conversation moves away from Blaine.
--
The next day is filled with joy. Kurt barely has time to see his dad and Carole, so he definitely doesn’t have time to see his extended family.
Everyone likes what he and Carole prepared and Carole points out that everyone should thank Pam as well.
After dinner, Kurt’s aunts prepare the desert and Kurt’s younger cousins beg him to go outside with them.
“Come on, it’s snowing!���
Kurt has to admit that snow also is more enjoyable here than in New York, because in New York, snow feels more like a nuisance blocking Kurt’s way. He’s constantly busy, getting from one place to the other. Here, Kurt has no reason to leave the neighbourhood today. They all go outside to make snow angels and what not.
Suddenly, Kurt hears a somewhat familiar voice.
“See, Squirt, people in this neighbourhood know where it’s at!”
Kurt follows the sound of the voice. Cooper is standing in the doorway of his parents’ house, decked out in winter clothes. Kurt can see Blaine behind Cooper and he’s shivering. He’s talking to Cooper, but he’s too far away for Kurt to understand.
“Coop, close the door,” Kurt can make out at one point.
Cooper says something back before going outside and closing the door behind him. Then he waves at Kurt.
“Hi, merry Christmas, forgive my stupid brother,” Cooper says loudly, probably so that Blaine can also hear it, “He’s a New Yorker, so he doesn’t appreciate snow enough. But I barely see this white goodness in my life, so I am out and about!”
“Tell your brother that I am also a New Yorker so he has no reason to stay inside,” Kurt jokes and Cooper’s eyes widen.
“Great idea!” he says and immediately goes back to the house.
Kurt and his cousins watch how Cooper’s locked out and how he’s demanding Blaine to let him in.
“Who is he?” one of Kurt’s cousins ask.
“Son of the new neighbours,” Kurt answers.
“Is he also coming out to play?”
“I think so.”
“Cool.”
Cooper manages to get in and five minutes later, he and Blaine come outside. Cooper immediately bonds with Kurt’s younger cousins. Blaine stands aside and Kurt takes a deep breath. He can be sociable. He’s a kind neighbour!
“Hey,” he says casually.
“Hi.”
“Not the biggest fan of snow, I hear?”
Blaine shrugs.
“I am, actually, but I just don’t feel like hanging out with my brother in the snow.”
“Why is that?” Kurt looks at Cooper, who’s started building a snow hut with Kurt’s cousins.
“He’s cool, pun intended, with other people, but ever since we were little he’d be kind of an ass. He’d try to put snow down my back, for example,” Blaine explains.
Kurt winces. That is kind of a dick move.
But at least he still has a brother. And even though Blaine sounds genuinely irritated, Kurt understands that Blaine doesn’t actually hate Cooper for the snow thing. After all, Blaine still could’ve stayed inside.
“You did come out here,” Kurt points out.
“I kind of have you to blame for that,” Blaine teases.
“Oh?”
“Cooper said you’re from New York. I had been using my New York status against him.”
Kurt laughs.
“Oh, don’t get me started on snow in New York.”
“Pffff, yeah,” Blaine says, “Good thing the subway is underground, but getting there, trudging through a thick layer of snow? Hell.”
“Hah, yes!” Kurt says and they fall into a comfortable silence. They watch everyone else have fun, and Kurt has an idea. He bends down to make a little snowball and shows it to Blaine.
Blaine raises an eyebrow.
“Now that your brother is occupied with keeping my cousins busy… are you in for a snowball fight?”
Blaine has an amused look on his face.
“You know what. Why not?”
--
Kurt’s aunts asked everyone to come inside, since dinner is ready. Kurt and his cousins are huddled together around the table, getting warm again. Everyone had a lot of fun and time flew by. Kurt didn’t even realise that his aunts were asking him to come in, since he was running around like a madman, trying to hit Blaine with his massive snowball.
And now Kurt’s enjoying his desert, but he’s still thinking about Blaine. It was really fun, so maybe Carole is right. Maybe he can ask if Blaine wants to meet up in New York.
What’s the worst that can happen? Blaine can say no.
Okay, that thought is terrifying.
But he can also say yes.
--
Kurt doesn’t actually talk to Blaine the day after. He only sees him in the morning, when Blaine passes the window. It’s his turn to walk the dog. Kurt and Blaine wave at each other, but that’s it.
In the afternoon, Cooper walks the dog and in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson take him out. Kurt’s almost sad when he doesn’t get the chance to wave at Blaine.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are out of sight and Kurt lets out a pathetic, sad sigh.
“Dear lord, just ring the bell already!” his dad says.
“What do you mean?” Kurt feigns ignorance, but he’s not surprised that his dad sees right through it. His dad has always known him the best.
“Don’t think I missed the smitten look on your face, kiddo,” his dad laughs, “Your thoughts were elsewhere. And your cousins mentioned that you and Blaine seemed to hit it off.”
“He is really nice,” Kurt admits.
His dad hums.
“And handsome.”
His dad hums again.
“And he lives in New York.”
“He does!”
Kurt looks outside again, because for a split second he stupidly believes he is in some Hallmark movie where Blaine appears outside his window to express his adoration.
There’s no one, obviously. He and Blaine have only known each other for a short time.
But as his dad and Carole point out, this doesn’t have to be the end of it. Kurt goes home to New York just before New Year’s and then he might meet up with Blaine and get to know him better.
Then Kurt thinks: Fuck it, he deserves a cute holiday romance.
“You know what, dad? I will go see him tomorrow.”
“Wonderful!” his dad says, and he’s so genuinely happy for Kurt, it makes Kurt’s heart swell.
--
“Burt says you’re going to ask Blaine from next door out on a date,” Carole says during breakfast and Kurt almost spits out his food.
“Dad!”
“What?” his dad asks, not bothered at all.
“I didn’t say that,” Kurt quickly says, “I said I am going to ask if he wants to meet up once we’re back in New York.”
“With the intention of dating him.”
“With the intention of getting to know him,” Kurt corrects, although he mentally adds ‘and potentially date him later’, but his dad doesn’t have to know that yet, although as usual, his dad knows better.
“You can get to know him on a date,” Carole says, feigning innocence.
“Oh my god,” Kurt hides his head in his hands.
“Don’t mind us, Kurt,” his dad sounds amused, “Or, don’t mind Carole. I don’t want to invade your privacy. You do what you want to do.”
“Hey!” Carole says back.
“Oh my God,” Kurt repeats, with his head still in his hands, but he can feel the smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
He acts embarrassed, and maybe he is a little bit, but he’s also glad to have such a supportive family.
They really want him to be happy. Kurt knows so many people who don’t have it as good as him, so he’s not taking this for granted.
If Finn were still around, he’d volunteer to be Kurt’s personal wingman instantly.
“Alright, alright, I’ll keep you guys up to date,” Kurt relents, “I plan on seeing him later today.”
Kurt smells the opportunity for a little fashion moment, so he needs to make use of that. Most of his wardrobe is still in New York, but he likes to dress for the occasion, and asking his neighbours’ son to hang out is definitely a big one.
The conversation shifts to other topics, like his dad’s garage or Carole’s latest interest in diamond painting, and they finish their breakfast. Kurt helps out with the cleaning up and then it’s time to go up to his room to rummage through his limited wardrobe.
He’s going through his closet when the doorbell rings. Kurt doesn’t pay attention to it, because he can hear his dad moving around to open it, but his interested is piqued when his dad says it’s for him.
Kurt hastily puts on some clothes, since he was a bit undressed because he was trying on outfits, and he goes downstairs.
He stops halfway on the staircase when he sees Blaine in the hallway.
“Hey,” Blaine says.
“Hey?” Kurt says, unable to hide his confusion.
Oh, he also looks terrible. He picked the worst combination of clothes in his rush to get down.
Of course this happens to him when Blaine’s at the door. And don’t even mention his hair. It’s a monstrosity! Of course Blaine looks prim and proper.
“I’ll leave you two at it,” Kurt’s dad says and promptly turns around to leave, although once his back it towards Blaine, he winks towards Kurt.
The mix of embarrassment and happiness about his dad and Carole’s interest in Kurt’s love life returns.
“Hey,” Blaine says again.
“Oh. Hello,” Kurt finally comes down.
“I kinda wanted to talk to you before I leave.”
“Leave?”
Blaine nods.
“I’m flying back to New York later today,” Blaine clarifies.
“Oh.”
“I need to move apartments, so I couldn’t stay for longer,” Blaine continues.
“Right.”
“Which sucks, because I like seeing my parents.”
“Yeah.”
“Cooper not so much,” Blaine says, but again, Kurt can hear the jokey undertone.
Kurt smiles.
“Yeah.”
“But, uhm, I kinda wanted to ask if I could see you again? In New York, I mean? To, uh, chill?”
“To chill, huh?” Kurt says, amused, and Blaine turns a bit red.
“Weird choice of words,” Blaine agrees, “But what do you think?”
“Yes, sure,” Kurt tries to act casual and cool, but his mind is reeling. Blaine wants to see him too! Man, the moment Blaine’s out of the door, Kurt will probably jump up and down with excitement.
“Neat,” Blaine sounds relieved, “Can I have your number then?”
“Yeah!” Kurt answers and they exchange numbers.
“Alright. Cool. I mean, yeah, cool!” Blaine stumbles a bit over his words, which Kurt finds endearing.
“Cool,” Kurt echoes.
“Then see you soon!”
“See you soon,” Kurt says back.
Blaine leaves after that and as predicted, Kurt leans against the front door with a huge, disbelieved grin on his face. He might look like utter shit and his hair is a mess, but who cares, cause Blaine wants to hang out with him!
“And?”
Kurt looks up to see Carole’s head peeking around the corner.
Kurt’s smile widens.
--
Kurt isn’t in a rush to get back to New York, since he wants to savour every moment with his family and he meets up with friends, but knowing that Blaine is waiting for him in New York does make him more eager to leave.
Okay, Blaine isn’t actively waiting for Kurt, but Kurt can dream, right?
They’ve texted a little bit over the past few days, but now that Kurt’s actually leaving, he sends more messages.
“Kurt, get off your phone! We need to say goodbye!” Carole scorns, but it’s nor serious. Besides, she has a point. His dad and Carole and about to drive home from the airport, and Kurt’s on his phone to text Blaine.
“Sorry,” Kurt pockets his phone.
“You’ll see him enough,” his dad says.
“Ideally, yes,” Kurt says with a smile. He’s shooting his shot.
Not immediately, though. He doesn’t want to come off as overeager. He’s going home now, then he’ll celebrate New Year’s tomorrow with some friends, and then he’ll see if he can meet up with Blaine.
He and his parents say goodbye. As usual, the hug between him and his dad lasts a long time, but it’s time for Kurt to go. This really is the worst part of going back home. He knows his dad and Carole will miss him too.
--
New York is messy, loud, and gorgeous.
He takes the elevator to his floor. Then, he stops in front of his door and casts a look to his neighbour’s door. There’s a new rainbow doormat in front of it, which Kurt sees as a confirmation that his shitty neighbour is truly gone.
Once he’s inside, he lets out a sigh of relief. He’s so ready to just unpack and relax. He’ll need to do some groceries later, but now he wants to “chill”, as Blaine said.
So that’s what he does. He unpacks, makes some coffee, and browses social media on his phone in peace. He texts Blaine, telling him he’s arrived home, and he also checks in with some other friends about tomorrow’s New Year’s plans.
Yet, life continues. Groceries are part of adult, independent life. There’s no grocery delivery here for Kurt, so Kurt sighs and decides to just do it instead of procrastinate, which is something he’s proud of. He put on appropriate winter attire and grabs a shopper.
When he’s outside and turns around to lock his door, the neighbour’s door opens. Kurt doesn’t really pay attention, since he needs to lock his door. He’s forgotten once before, so he always pays attention here.
Once everything’s locked up, he turns to his side to introduce himself, since unlike his previous neighbour, Kurt does have manners, but his words die in his throat.
Blaine is standing on the rainbow doormat with a surprised look on his face.
“Hello neighbour,” he’s the first to break the shocked silence.
“Hello.”
“Long time no see-”
“What a surprise-”
It falls silent again, but it’s not an awkward silence. In fact, Kurt’s amused by this whole situation, because what are the odds? Blaine’s shocked expression has also been replaced by a more amused one.
“You’re my new neighbour,” Kurt sounds disbelieved.
“I see,” Blaine says back, “Hello, neighbour, again.”
The two of them laugh.
“I’m… going to go,” Kurt holds up his shopper.
“Oh,” Blaine opens the pocket of his jacket and takes out a folded up shopper, “Groceries?”
“Yes!” Kurt says. This is so weird. “I just got home from Ohio, so I have absolutely nothing.”
“I get it. Anyway, great to see you. I’m new here. Where do you get your groceries?”
“You haven’t done any grocery shopping since you moved here?” Kurt asks.
Blaine turns a bit red.
“Uh. No. I have.”
“Okay?” Kurt says with a frown.
“Sorry,” Blaine says and then lets out an awkward laugh, “This- I- Okay. I didn’t know how else to ask if you wanted to hang out now.”
Kurt’s eyes widen in surprise. Neither of them had made actual plans to “chill” yet. Kurt didn’t want to seem to eager, and Blaine hadn’t made any concrete suggestions yet.
Kurt’s down to hang out, even though he didn’t expect their first meet-up in New York to be for grocery shopping, but then he also didn’t expect Blaine to be his new neighbour.
“Sure,” Kurt says with a smile.
--
And that’s how they end at a coffee shop called Think Coffee instead of the grocery store. Kurt’s reasoning was that it’s easier to get coffee beforehand and before Kurt could apologise for randomly suggesting a coffee date (is it a date?), Blaine agreed to it.
Of course, they discuss how funny it is that their parents live next to each other, and now they also live next to each other.
“My dad mentioned that your family is originally from Westerville, I think?”
Blaine nods.
“Yes. Cooper and I went to a boarding school there, but we were day students. Do you know Dalton Academy?”
The name does ring a bell.
“From the Warblers?”
Blaine looks amazed.
“Yes!” he utters in disbelief, “That’s my former glee club!”
“Really?” Kurt asks, “I’m from the New Directions.”
Blaine shoots him a quizzed look.
“McKinley High, in Lima,” Kurt clarifies.
“… That sounds familiar.”
“This is insane,” Kurt says before taking a sip of his coffee. He needs to let this sink in. The day has certainly turned out to be different than expected.
“Yeah. I’m a Dalton boy.”
“And then your parents moved to Lima of all places, when you graduated.”
Blaine snorts.
“I know right?” he says, but then he smiles, “Although, it led to me meeting you, so I cannot hold it against them anymore.”
“I agree.”
“And you? Did you grow up in that house?”
Kurt shakes his head.
“No, but I did grow up in Lima. My dad got married to Carole a few years back, and then they bought that house for the four of us to live in.”
“Four?”
“Me, my dad, my stepmother and my stepbrother,” Kurt answers.
“I didn’t know you had a brother!” Blaine sounds surprised, “God, I hope he’s not as bad as Cooper.”
“Oh… Well… No,” Kurt says slowly.
“Did I miss him during my visit? I mean, my parents never mentioned him, so does he live out of the state?”
Kurt sighs. This part is always hard, painful, and eventually awkward. He didn’t plan on bringing up the dead brother story, but on the other hand, he does want to get to know Blaine and he hopes Blaine wants to get to know him as well. Well, it must be. Otherwise Blaine wouldn’t have joined him on this supposed grocery trip.
“He died, actually,” Kurt says quietly.
As expected, the silence stretches out and it becomes more awkward and awkward.
“Oh. Kurt. I’m… sorry,” Blaine eventually says, although he seems a bit lost for words.
“It’s okay.” It’s not, but it’s okay that Blaine doesn’t know what to say. Kurt can’t blame him. How do you properly react to hearing a young person died?
“Oh, shit!” Blaine suddenly exclaims, “And here I am, complaining constantly about Cooper! That’s such a dick move!”
“It’s okay,” Kurt says again, “You didn’t know. And besides, it was fun to see you two interact.”
“Yeah?” Blaine asks.
Kurt hums.
“Yes. It’s clear that your complaining and his teasing comes from a place of love. Me and Finn would do the same. God, you have no idea how many times I complained about his habits, or how many times he’d playfully tease me for my brooch collection.”
Kurt would give anything to hear Finn playfully mock his hippo brooch again.
“Can you tell me about him?” Blaine asks.
So Kurt does. He tells Blaine that he and Finn didn’t really like each other at the beginning, but then they both joined glee club, although it turned out that Finn got blackmailed by their glee club director who had planted a stash of weed in Finn’s locker. (“What?” “It’s not important, Blaine.”) That’s how they slowly became friends, and Kurt eventually developed a crush on Finn and decided to pair up his dad and Finn’s mom in an attempt to get closer to Finn. (“Excuse me?” “It’s in the past, Blaine.”) But eventually their parents got married and Kurt’s crush died out and they became stepbrothers. It was a bit rocky at the beginning, but they grew to love each other as family and dropped the “step” part quickly.
“So yeah, we didn’t always see everything eye to eye, but that’s just how family is. I miss him, especially now, during the holidays.”
“I can imagine.”
“The entire family always shows up, and it’s glaringly obvious that someone is missing,” Kurt laments, “I don’t like to dwell on it, neither do my dad and Carole, but it’s on our minds, especially when I see my cousins together, or when you and Cooper banter. But it also makes me think of good memories with him, like the time he and his friend Puck dressed up in Star Wars outfits for Christmas.”
“Oh. Amazing.”
“Or when Carole told Finn he needed to help out for Christmas dinner, and he burned it all down, so we ended up eating soup out of a can that year.”
Kurt chuckles and Blaine also lets out a laugh.
“He sounds lovely,” Blaine says.
“He was. Most of the time.”
They laugh again.
Kurt lifts his cup to get another sip, only to find it empty. Blaine also wiggles his cup around.
“Time flies,” he says.
Kurt hums in agreement. He gets out of his seat.
“Grocery time?” he asks.
“Oh. Yeah. Groceries,” Blaine sounds bewildered. It’s that Kurt definitely needs to eat, otherwise he also would’ve forgotten.
Kurt leads them to the grocery store he always goes to, which is one that Blaine hadn’t seen before, so that’s a nice extra. Kurt needs to buy a lot, since he just got home after a trip to Lima, but Blaine only needs some things. Still, he sticks around to talk to Kurt and so that they can walk home together.
--
“Hello neighbour.”
Blaine looks a bit surprised. He probably didn’t expect Kurt to just knock, but Kurt’s feeling daring. Yesterday’s coffee and grocery trip-slash-date was a lot of fun and Kurt decided to just go for it.
“Hello,” Blaine says back.
“Do you have plans for this New Year’s?”
“Yes?” Blaine says, which is fair. Kurt should’ve expected that. “But why are you asking?”
Kurt’s asking because he woefully fantasised about kissing Blaine, if he wants, when the clock hits midnight.
“Oh. Well, I am meeting up with some friends and I wanted to see if you wanted to join, but it makes sense you already have plans.”
Kurt’s about to awkwardly say goodbye and admit defeat, but Blaine stops him.
“I’m meeting my friends at eleven in the evening. I still have time. When will you meet your friends?”
“Also later today,” Kurt answers. Around ten, or something. It wasn’t very clear. It’s more one of those “drop by whenever you want” parties. He just wanted to check if Blaine were interested in joining.
“Sooo,” Blaine draws out the word, “I don’t think I can make it to your friend’s party, but what are your plans now?”
Now? Well, Kurt planned on binge watching trashy TV, order food and wait till it’s time to go see his friends.
“Nothing. I am free,” Kurt answers.
Blaine opens his front door further and steps aside.
“Feel free to come in, then,” Blaine says with a smile and how can Kurt refuse. He didn’t plan on this, but he isn’t mad about it.
“Thank you.”
Blaine gives Kurt a small tour of his still bare apartment. It’s clear that he’s only just moved in. Blaine tells Kurt that beforehand he lived in a shitty dorm room, so he was ecstatic when he found this relatively cheap apartment.
Kurt can relate. He used to live in Bushwick in a place that didn’t have proper walls. This building is still not the most luxurious, but it is an upgrade!
“My dad mentioned you moved here for your studies,” Kurt recalls.
Blaine nods.
“Yeah. I’m go to NYADA. Maybe you’ve heard of it.”
Oh, Kurt’s heard of NYADA. He got accepted into NYADA as well, but he turned it down to pursue an education in fashion instead. But he knows how hard it is to get into NYADA.
The conversation quickly turns into a long and winded discussion about the current Broadway season and how other shows got robbed at previous Tony Awards ceremonies.
Blaine also shows off his new coffee machine (“Got it as a Christmas present!”), so Blaine makes Kurt a fancy cappuccino. It’s so comfortable to be around Blaine and Kurt’s glad that Blaine likes him too.
An hour later, they’re on Blaine’s couch, huddled underneath a shared fleece blanket, and they’re eating snacks that Kurt brought over from his place while watching a Broadway bootleg. Kurt adores this show, but he’s having a hard time paying attention to it.
How can he, when Blaine’s so close?
He keeps staring at Blaine, so of course Blaine notices at one point.
“Something on my face?” he asks with a jokey tone.
Kurt doesn’t answer. He knows what he wants. He puts his hands on Blaine’s cheeks and pulls him in for a kiss.
Blaine kisses back and he wraps his arms around Kurt to pull him even more closer.
Kurt had wanted to kiss him at midnight, but he couldn’t wait any longer. There are no actual fireworks now in the background, but that doesn’t matter. Kissing Blaine already feels like fireworks are going off.
They keep kissing until they remember that they need to breathe.
“Woah,” Blaine sounds out of breath.
“Woah indeed,” Kurt echoes him.
The two of them stare at each other before Blaine throws himself on Kurt and kisses him again.
--
Later that evening, they’re finally finishing the bootleg. They got a bit preoccupied, so they weren’t able to watch all of it.
Both Kurt and Blaine cancelled their plans. They want to spend this New Year’s with each other. Outside, the city of New York is alive and bustling, filled with people who are ready to go wild and party. But Kurt and Blaine are fine, cuddling together in Blaine’s new apartment in their neighbourhood.
It’s a perfect way to start the new year and Kurt wouldn’t have had it any other way.
--
End notes: Here ya go, Arden! Your wishlist was an absolute delight and I actually had a hard time narrowing it down, because I wanted to include as much as possible. This fic uses the "genre: alternative universe", "genre: fluff", "genre: romance", "location: Ohio", "location: New York", "age: young adult/college", "designer!Kurt", "actor!Blaine", "preferred theme: holiday-themed" and of course "other favourite tropes/story elements: neighbours".
Happy holidays!

Snapshots by @borogroves
August 27, 2044. They say a picture paints a thousand words… and Kurt and Blaine have a whole scrapbook.
~~~~~
I remember when we first met By @tnystrk3000
Inspired by #42 of 101 Ways to Say I Love You by emswritingprompts on Tumblr: "I remember when we first met."
Summary: During their wedding reception, Kurt and Blaine find a moment alone to reflect on where they started and are now. They sit outside, looking at the stars, as they talk about their journey.
Takes place during season 6 episode 8, the only difference is that it’s nighttime.
~~~~~
daydreaming my life away (would you come along with me?) by anderhummel (em_a)
Sometimes Kurt feels like he and Blaine are moving too fast, hurtling headfirst into the unknown where their relationship is bound to end in a fiery crash and broken hearts.
But then Blaine flashes a smile at him, or shoots him an exasperated look behind Rachel's back, or hooks his pinky into Kurt's belt loop as they're walking down the hallway, or—really, sometimes Blaine breathes and Kurt knows, deep in his bones, that he has never been more sure of anything in his life.
* * *
A collection of times throughout Kurt and Blaine's relationship that they discuss their futures.
~~~~~
5 Times: Darling, Just Kiss Me Slow by InsightfulInsomniac
Five types of kisses that Kurt and Blaine share in their domestic moments of early marriage. Wholesome, sweet early married Klaine with a few guest appearances along the way from Burt and Carole.
Aka my five favorite kiss ideas from a kiss prompt list I found a long time ago.
~~~~~
New York Ever After by @gleefulpoppet
Upon their return to New York, Kurt and Blaine create an extraordinary life curated from thousands of ordinary moments noticed, appreciated, and treasured. [AKA The Klaine Glee spinoff we all wanted: date nights, doing the dishes, showers before work, fits of giggles, lazy couch kisses, and more.]
Canon compliant through the entirety of season 6. Each chapter will be self-contained—no cliffhangers or abandoned story issues to worry about.
~~~~~
Honeymoon Holidays by @flowerfan2
Kurt and Blaine’s first winter holidays together as a married couple fall so quickly after their wedding that sometimes they almost seem like a continuation of their honeymoon. But not always. A story in the “Season 7” series that looks at events in the early married life of Kurt and Blaine.
~~~
The Boys of Summerby neverhaveieverbooks
Kurt and Blaine’s first summer in New York after they get married. It’s easy. It’s hard. It’s perfectly imperfect. A summer tale in 12 chapters. Canon-compliant. This story technically takes place within the middle of episode 6 x 13, after Nationals, and before they return to McKinley for their visit in the fall.
Written for the Klaine Summer Challenge 2016 on tumblr.
~~~~~
The Bluebird as She Singsby @lovetheblazer
Eleven months in the journey Kurt and Blaine take to become parents, from Rachel offering to be their surrogate through the birth. Klaine reaction fic for “Dreams Come True” with background St. Berry.

My Wish for Youby Iris Kane
Picking up after the series finale; this story takes place sometime between 2015 and 2020 when Rachel agrees to be Kurt and Blaine surrogate, this is what I think might have happened. (Some rewrites and adjustments to this story; if you’re confused about the direction the story is going please reread)
~~~~~
It’s Bittersweet, Babyby InsightfulInsomniac
When packing up their things to move into their first place as an officially married couple, Blaine finds Kurt’s engagement ring in his former sock drawer, sparking many emotions and memories between the two of them.
But as loving, secure husbands do, they talk it out together.

I just listened to the lastest episode of and that's what you really missed on Glee.
The biggest surprise of this episode was that Kevin and Jenna talked about the box scene. I never expected them to talk about Klaine. That's what happened: The episode was teased with an important Klaine scene, but when it aired their scene was not in it and the fans went crazy. The script of the episode appeared in an auction for Project Angel Food and 2 fans organized a fundraiser to bit on the script. Ryan heard of it and he released the scene on YouTube. Kevin said that you can see why it was cut. It is not a very good scene. Jenna said it's a little lackluster. (Of course that had to talk Klaine down.)
Artie as a director: Kevin was trying to do a nod to Ryan. Where his hands were placed, how he was talking. He had to tone it down though.
The Christmas special: Jenna said it was a multi-camera shot like they did back then.
During the filming of All I Want for Christmas someone took a photo of the girls on a phone and it was used for press.
Kevin said that the ratings were down and they started a rumour to get them back up. Kevin took a picture of Jenna with Lea and Cory in the background being extra snuggly. He posted it and when the first person reacted to it, he took it down like he was doing something wrong. The rumour got picked up and spread to all the entertainment sides. A couple of weeks later Lea told Kevin that she and Cory really started dating around that time.
Kevin told another story about something he did over the soundsystem, but I didn't really get. I guess my English isn't good enough for that.
cringe moment: the homeless jokes (Kevin), Do They Know It's Christmas at the homeless shelter (Jenna)
best dance move: Christmas Wrapping
best song: Christmas Wrapping (Kevin), All I Want For Christmas Is You (Jenna)
performance mvp: Lea and Cory

You may have answered this a hundred times before, if so, point me to your previous answers! How would you have improved Kurt’s story in canon? What are the major things you would have changed, and some of the niggles and minor things that drive you mad?
Hi! You know - I don't mind getting these kinds of questions again. My answers tend to change as the years pass.
I'm not sure if there's anything major I'd change? I don't mind the overall structure of his story (@snarkyhag - omg, I used the word 'structure' for the first time in forever, feels nice, lol.) But Glee has very jaggedy story telling, in that it does highs and lows but doesn't do details or in-betweens very well.
I think his arcs in Season 1 and 2 are pretty well done, and despite me always wanting /more/ - the show was about an ensemble, and he did relatively well. I really have no complaints there.
In Season 3, I would have liked his story to be less attached to Rachel and more on an individual path. Everything that happens in his story line (that isn't related to Blaine) is a consequence or set up of Rachel's story line, and it's maddening. I don't mind that he doesn't get into NYADA -- I wish he would have stayed out, tbh, but the narrative around him getting or not getting in should have been devoid of what Rachel's story needed to be.
I also wish he and Blaine had had more intimate moments -- I don't mean, necessarily, kissing/sex/romance -- but more moments where the two of them are just them together, in a more relaxed way. Hard to do in a school setting, sure, but things like the missing Box Scene from the Christmas episode sprinkled in more often would have been nice.
Of course - I would have loved so much more in Season 4. More fall out from the Break Up. More of Kurt exploring New York City. It would have been nice to see Adam developed as a real relationship for Kurt. Just seeing more of how he felt, and how he was struggling with moving, and being in a new city, and leaving friends and family, and missing Blaine, etc, etc. There's such a rich story there -- but the show, ultimately, was about a high school glee club, not up and coming college kids, and of course, Kurt's story still ended up tied in to Rachel's. (Of course - on the flip side Season 4 gives us such rich material to fanfic around -- so much good fic arose out of this era.)
Season 5 is hard to articulate - there is such a complex variety of things going on - with Finn's Death, the engagement, and all of Rachel and Santana. I wish Kurt would have more of his own individual story line. I know he got the band and Elliott - but what does he really want to do with his life? Again, I do wish we had Glee - the College Years for the full season.
I love the NYC arc - and the exploration of the Klaine dynamic, but I would have seen more the highs there, too. I realize TV needs conflict, and the writers knew where they were going with the story, but I don't think the June story line necessarily worked now that I'm this far out, and I would have liked to see them more navigate the ins and outs of a relationship.
Season 6 I would change less than you think. My biggest thing is that I'd rewrite the entire Klaine part of the Wedding episode. Kurt needs a catalyst (probably the one thing that still bugs me the most) to run back - the writing is just awkward.
But also - Kurt and Blaine don't get a single, private conversation between getting back together and the locker scene in Dreams Come True. I realize it's more about the show winding down - and that scene is essentially their 'happily ever after' moment, but it would have been nice for the show let Kurt (and Blaine) reflect on marriage and taking that next step. But also, having a conversation about how their lives are moving forward when back in New York.
The epilogue was nice, but I would have moved it farther than five years -- and I'm somewhat indifferent about them having kids, but twenty-six feels young for them being dads.
Idk, those are the major things. There are episode to episode minor-ish things, too, I guess. Like why did Kurt give back the tape in Michael? Why did he have to be a jerk to Quinn in On My Way? Stuff like that where I don't agree on the writers' charactierizations.
Thanks for the question, Nonny! It was nice to get back into writing meta!
#that's how s.o. sees it#kurt hummel#glee#ooff my meta'ing is rusty but it feels good to get back into it

I found this Glee game around Tumblr but the creator's profile is disabled. If anyone recognizes it let me know and I'll mention it!
1. Favourite season 1 episode: The Power of Madonna (1x15) I literally love everything about this episode. Especially the introduction of cheerio!Kurt and the 4 Minutes performance! Pure gold.
2. Favourite season 2 episode: Original Song (2x16) Do I need to specify that? The beginning of klaine 💘💖💞
3. Favourite season 3 episode: I'm undecided between The First Time (3x05) and Nationals (3x21) The first one because, of course, klaine. The Nationals episode is too good, though. It shows their coming together as a group and the songs are beautiful. And then they win! Nothing else to say.
4. Favourite season 4 episode: I'm not a fan of season four, so it's hard to choose. I would say I Do (4x14) because of, again, klaine scenes which are BEAUTIFUL (horny!Kurt is what I love most). But I would say maybe Wonder-ful (4x21) for the positivity of the episode. Super cute.
5. Favourite season 5 episode: Here I feel I must necessarily mention two episodes. Love, love, love (5x01) and Tina in the Sky with Diamonds (5x02). The first for the most beautiful marriage proposal in history. The second for Hey Jude. What happened to Tina is atrocious and their way of consoling and support her is wonderful. This is the real Glee!
6. Favourite season 6 episode: Am I repetitive? Who cares! A wedding (6x08) because "There's no one else" makes me scream every time. I loved the idea of them getting married just like that, out of nowhere, without some couples therapy first? No. But they love each other and I'm okay with that.
7. Episode that makes me cry: The Quarterback (5x01) enough said. But also Grilled Cheesus (2x03) I see myself very much in what happens to Kurt. It makes me cry every time.
8. Episode that makes me laugh: Previously Unaired Christmas (5x08) I'm probably the only one but the silliness and surrealism of this episode makes me pee my pants.
9. Favourite tribute episode: again, The Power of Madonna (1x15) this is seriously amazing. Just iconic.
10. Favourite Christmas episode: A Very Glee Christmas (2x10) OBVIOUSLY because of Baby It’s Cold Outside. But I also really like Glee, Actually (4x10) if it weren't for the Jake and Puck part that I find very boring... please don't hate me.
11. Episode with the best songs: I would say Nationals. And Rachel sings what I think is her best solo of the series. I get goosebumps thinking about it.
12. Favourite sectionals episode: Sectionals (1x13) because of Don’t Rain on My Parade and My life would suck without you.
13. Favourite regionals episode: Original Song (2x16) nothing can beat it (we pretend that Candles does not exist)
14. Favourite nationals episode: Nationals (3x21) of course!!!
15. Episode most people like but I don’t: Blame It on the Alcohol (2x14) okay. Here I think I'm going to get a lot of criticism. It is definitely funny and hilarious, but I CANNOT accept Rachel's selfishness toward what she calls her best friend. I'm sorry but that's the way it is. I also cannot stand that Kurt is called biphobic. He's not biphobic: he's just a 16-year-old boy in love and jealous who couldn't give a good speech at the moment, that's all.
16. Episode most people dislike but I like: The Hurt Locker Part 2 (6x05) I literally love everything about this episode. It is INSANE and just so funny. That klaine kiss... *swoon*
@shame-is-a-wasted-emotion @kurtsascot @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @annepi-blog @justgleekout @klaine-in-the-impala @bitbybitwrites, if you want 🫶🏻
Even those I haven't tagged, do it!!!

tag someone who you want to get to know better
thanks for the tag @special-bc-ur-part-of-it
favorite color: This question is tough because I love many colors. If I had to choose I would say a golden yellow, followed by a rather dark green.
last song: Spotify says it was Runnin' Home to You (Guitar Version) by Grant Gustin from the Flash musical episode.
last movie: At the theater the Barbie movie. At home, it was Red, White and Royal Blue.
currently watching: I just watched the second season of Heartstopper last week.
other stuff I watched this year: This year I went to the cinema to see The Whale, The Little Mermaid, Asteroid City, Barbie and for the second time Everything Everywhere All at Once. Otherwise, I'm currently watching the new season of Grey's Anatomy with my best friend and with all my roommates finished watching New Girl and Mandalorian together and have now started Modern Family. Plus, of course, Glee every now and then.
shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I didn't really stop anything. The closest I would say is that I don't know when I'll get around to watching Witcher S3 because I also watch it with friends and we have to find time together.
currently reading: Unfortunately, I'm not reading a book right now but just a lot of scientific articles for work. I try to keep up with many WIP Klaine fanfictions because they always bring me joy <3
currently listening to: I don't listen to any particular album at the moment, I tend to turn on my playlist with songs from musicals and movies the most.
currently working on: At work, I am currently preparing the exam for this semester for my students and just started to organize the practical course for the next semester. In my spare time, I'm currently writing a Klaine one-shot based on a German song.
current obsession: Mhmm, maybe the teachers in Heartstopper. They appear for maybe 10 minutes in the whole series, but I love Mr. Farouk and Mr. Ajayi. Otherwise, I was on vacation in Iceland last week and learned about cave bacteria while visiting a lava tunnel. Apparently, they are being analyzed by NASA right now, and I researched about it quite obsessively after the visit :D
Tagging (no pressure ofc): I can never remember who has been tagged. I tag @daisyishedwig @shame-is-a-wasted-emotion @kirakiwiwrites @mynonah and anyone else who wants to do this

Well if we’re thinking of Rumours v 2009 - as someone said many fans just haven’t made it to season 6 or watched 2009 more than once. It’s an enjoyable episode, the main fascination being Kurt’s story and his glow up, but this tournament has all other ships and stans voting. Is there any britanna in there? Season 2 remains popular. Rumours is popular for Songbird especially plus other extra songs plus the Britanna Artie plot, plus the Sam of it all - the story is cute. Klainers love to laugh at the stupidity of people thinking Kurt is cheating on Blaine.
Nbk v hos - well someone pointed out in comments only good thing about Nbk is Klaine meeting. And theres been a lot of anti Blaine stuff around this week on twitter so that’s changed again. The beiste plot is horrible and puck is an ass, and it’s not really Britanna focussed. hos is a competition episode which people tend to enjoy and you’ve got one of the sancedes mashups in there too.
I think, and I mean no disrespect to you, but we do know ultimately there’s a handful of episodes which will be in the top 4. Pq and Os have been long term fan faves and have won many times over the years, I’m not convinced it’ll change now. I’m interested to see what fills in the spaces 3-28 or whatever.
But I love you doing this. It’s fun. It’s not to be taken too seriously. It’s interesting to hear PoV even if they’re wrong (I jest) . I’m not commenting or reblogging because people can be so rude or shoot people down for having a different opinion.
I don’t want you to stop it. Plus you’ve worked hard on it.
Hi Nonny!
Sorry - I am finally getting around to addressing all of this.
First of all, I just want to say, even if I'll campaign passionately on my own blog, I completely understand that this blog's intention is to service the wider glee fandom, and not one particular corner of it, therefore the opinions are going to be different. That is usually part of the fun of it.
What isn't fun is when there's an obvious bout of cheating going on and all of sudden those numbers get skewed in a really wonky way. And as I said before, I know there's always some form of cheating going on in these things -- especially in polls that reach a huge audience. But this particular blog really only gets out to 200-ish people, so when someone spams it with an 100 extra votes it feels really noticeable.
And, at the moment I discovered it - it felt... idk violating in a way? It's like someone did it intentionally to make some sort of statement?
Most of the polls they did it on, the episode in question was already winning. So, why even bother?
That said - I do agree that we're hurdling towards a pre-determined endgame. I've ran this particular poll maybe four times over the course of the years, and it's always ended the same way. But the real fun is getting there, and seeing where everything else shakes out.
I'm glad you are having fun, and I think overall, most people are, too. As of now, things seem to be normal again, so I'm continuing on with the tournament. But if things seem suspicious again, I may decide to pull the plug then.
As an aside -
I’m not commenting or reblogging because people can be so rude or shoot people down for having a different opinion.
I'm sorry to hear this, and this is a good moment to remind people that everyone is entitled to have their own opinion. No one is dumb or stupid or whatever if they like something else. It's a TV show, and subjective to each person. Someone not liking your favorite isn't going to hurt you, and people should feel safe to state opinions without getting ridiculed. I realize this is the internet, and the anonymity makes that hard. But c'mon. This is so not worth getting into it with people over.
Thanks for dropping a line! I do appreciate hearing from you guys. <3

what's your ranking of the klaine seasons? (like, how much you like the klaine storylines for each season)
oooo this is a toughie because i like some seasons a lot for different reasons
1. season six. NOW THIS SOUNDS INSANE PROBABLY. i know a lot of people despise the season six breakup but i LOVE IT. i think it was so necessary for them to split and come back with some character development and the angst is perfect. especially because it’s mainly on kurt’s side, and i love seeing kurt actively pursue blaine when he’s been sort of just coasting along for a bit at this point, caring but in season five being too emotionally exhausted to put in very much effort. i love seeing him confront his fear of vulnerability and opening up to other people by being so straightforward with blaine right away that he wants him back. it makes so much sense for what was established about kurt even way back in season two, that he believe he has to go through hardship alone, and he was closing out blaine in the wake of losing his brother, being in the hospital etc. it makes him purposely getting blaine to sing with him and running to his house to tell him that he loves him SOOO good. on the flip side with blaine, i know this is where people have issues but i love that he’s seeing someone else, that he’s happy with it, that he’s been able to pick himself up and move on (with therapy! both of them got therapy) because he had this opposite struggle of people pleasing and clinging too hard and resisting change. and in season six he’s such a BITCH. like he’s still a little muffin but he’ll also storm into the auditorium and yell at kurt for taking one of his students, he’ll refuse to go easy on them, he’ll even insult rachel a little (“huh that’s so unlike you”). and finally, that scene outside rachel’s house is one of my favorites in the entire show. everything they say, reminiscing, and blaine kissing him suddenly. it’s EVERYTHING. i just love the longing. kurt glancing over during Home or crying and them flashing a bunch of clips during Will you still love me tomorrow/head over feet. blaine seeing them as warblers during it’s too late. I WROTE ALL THIS AND DIDNT EVEN MENTION THE HURT LOCKER. best ep ever
2. season two. this is the cliched favorite but i can never not have love for those two sad little sweet kids. i love that first meeting so much and how meaningful it all is for kurt. that he’s finally found someone who understands him. who he can have feelings for without being seen as crossing some line. who will hold his hand and dance with him at prom. it’s way more kurt focused but also i DO love blaine, especially the bit we get about his dad and the sadie hawkins incident, an exercise in deepening his backstory they will never do when he’s a main character for some reason. especially prom queen is my favorite episode of the series and klaine are the best part.
3. season four. i guess i’m a break up stan? I love some yearning alright. and this has SO much. i think The Break Up (the episode) could be written a thousand times better but hey. we got all those songs from it. i love kurt trying to move on but still calling blaine, still loving blaine as well, spending christmas with him, and crying watching Their movie. especially come what may is just unlike anything else the show ever pulled for ANY couple. and that’s how you know klaine are the it couple!!!! and on blaine’s end it’s kind of the best blaine season??? the way he becomes Real and has interests and makes friends is so important to me personally. but i also love of course when kurt comes back and he’s like omg.. we need to get married. he’s crazy and i love it
4. season three. they’re adorable in this season. big brother is one of my fave episodes of all time, it’s an actual blaine plot filled with sweet sweet klaine moments. but the thing is there’s just moments? they don’t get much outside of the first time and dance with somebody, which are opposite ends of the season. hell, blaine is absent on valentine’s day 😭😭. i do like pretty much every scene they do have though. also the network censorship during this season is glaringly obvious to me.
5. season five. confession i’m a bit of a season five hater. i just get BORED. it’s not to say they don’t have their moments in this season. the proposal is the most beautiful scene. got to get you into my life is their best duet. they’re so cute living together in nyc. that scene in tested is probably what i use for gifsets more than anything else. but also they’re pretty separate the first half and i find some of the new york parts stressful (blaine’s crisis in tested) or unnecessary (the june plot).
anyways, i ended up saying a lot about each which i don’t know if you needed. 2, 4, 6 could probably shuffle around at different moments but this is how i feel rn

#10 Glee
Plot: Spanish teacher Will feels that he's missing something in his life, something that really makes a difference. Then the director of his school's Glee club gets fired and Will seizes the oppurtunity to go back into the world he missed and loves so much. It's a long and winding road to success, with constang failures and setbacks. A group of misfits and strong wills need to come together to change lives - both their own, Will's and many others.
Years: 2009-2015
Seasons: 6
My story: I heard of Glee when it aired, but it wasn't until a few years later that I watched it. Being the musical-lover I am I was so happy to have found a series that actually was a musical, which few others have done. I fell hard for the music, the revenge of the underdogs, the diversity come together and the queerness. Even though much in Glee has not aged well, it was a really important feature for its time. As a person who was in choir (though not showchoir) in high school this was the first high school series that I could relate to.
Teachable moments: Something you should think about while watching Glee, especially in 2023, is - don't take everything so seriously. Glee is, though dealing with serious issues, done with a twinkle in the eye. Some stuff are purely ironic. What they did do was that they dared to deal with issues about bullying, body image, racism, homophobia, transphobia and funding for the arts in a way that few, if anyone, did at the time.
Best character: I've always been a huge Klaine-shipper and that inclines me to choose Kurt here. The story of how Kurt was written for Chris Colfer after his audition is amazing and he brings so much to that character and the series. Kurt is a fighter and he knows right from wrong in a very firm way. His relationship with his dad is touching and I love to follow them over the years. I had a friend in middle school, who was the only out guy in school and he reminds me a lot of Kurt.
Best episode: "Quarterback" (S5E3). It's heartbreaking, but I have to choose this episode anyway. When Cory Montieth (1982-2013, rest in peace) who portrayed Finn passed away they choose to make this in his honor. It's a beutifuly made tribute where everyone wears their emotions on their sleaves and where everything feels totaly pure and natural.
Best quote: "Being part of something special does not make you special. Something is special because you're a part of it" (Rachel Berry)
Fun fact: Both Amber Riley (Mercedes) and Naya Rivera (Santana) were cut early from different seasons of American Idol, before staring in Glee.
If you like this you might also like: Orange is the new black, Skins, Heartstopper, Young Royals and Julie and the Phantoms.
Naya Rivera (1987-2020), rest in peace.

Do you know any klaine fics from Burt's pov?
Here are a few, ~Jen
Fathers by Onceinyourlife
I love my son, and my son loves Blaine. He matters to me." While the glee club is in New York, Burt receives an unexpected visitor.
~~~~~
Burt's Nest By @coffeegleek
This is a retelling of Empty Nest-Revised and Rebuilding the Nest from Burt’s POV with new-to-the-verse added content. While this fic does stand alone, in order to fully understand Kurt’s actions and experiences, those two fics should be read first. They are:
Empty Nest
Burt Hummel was an empty nester who discovered a teenager sleeping under his porch. Kurt was just trying to survive in a world that was against everything he was. This is their story.
Rebuilding the Nest
For Kurt, trusting people is hard. Unlocking the door to the Hummels’ enclosed back porch was a huge step. There were so many more left to go. Sequel to Empty Nest-Revised and takes place immediately after.
~~~~~
Burt POV Series by SlayerKitty
Burt’s POV of the events of episode 2.16-2.22.
~~~~~
Through Burt’s Eyes: The Story of Klaineby InsightfulInsomniac
From the moment Kurt told him he had a boyfriend to the moment when Kurt and Blaine announced that they’re having a child through surrogacy, Burt’s been with them every step of the way. He watched the couple grow through each milestone, and even grew a little (a lot) himself.
Burt through the Klaine ages, basically telling Klaine’s major milestones through his eyes. So much fluff and sappy dad emotions.
~~~~~
4 times Burt heard Kurt and Blaine having sex and one time he didn’t bySaltwaterfish96
The title says it all, I think. Set in Dance with Somebody, The New Rachel, Glee Actually, I do and somewhere in the future… (only mentions of sex, M because of safety or so)
~~~~~
How Burt Hummel Was Eventually Won Over by Blaine Anderson by exeterlinden
The bottom line was: Burt was a little protective. He didn’t like seeing his son get hurt.
~~~~~
Butterfly Effectby trufflemores
Burt’s life unfolds serendipitously.
~~~~~
Family by AntarcticBird
He’s not worried. (A moment after the wedding; Burt’s POV.)
Note: You need to be logged into an AO3 account to access this fic.

I rewatched Extraordinary Merry Christmas, the two deleted scenes and the bts videos in preparation for the next recap episode.
Rachel gives Finn a wish-list and is really pushing it.
Sue is volunteering at the Lima homeless shelter. She wants the glee club pitch in by giving the gift of song. (Blaine's first scene in Sue's office.)
The local station manager of Lima's PBS wants the Glee club to do a holiday special with Artie as director. Artie agrees and wants it to be inspired be The Star Wars Holiday Special and a hommage to the Judy Garland Christmas Show.
The taping of the show is at the same time as the Homeless shelter thing and only Sam and Quinn show up for that. The rest of the New Directions come later to the shelter, but only because their last number was cut.
Cringe moment: Sue: Wheels, Procelain, other gay. Sue called Blaine later young Burt Reynolds which is more a compliment than an insult. In season six we learn Sue is a Klaine fan.
best song: It's an impossible choice. I can say that I'm happy Darren had 2 duets and a part in My Favorite Things. And I want to mention that River is on his Christmas album.
best dance move: Christmas Wrapping
performance mvp: Chris, Darren, Lea and Amber in the Christmas Special. They all managed to talk and perform like this show was really from the 60's. (I'm pretty sure I heard Darren was watching Judy Garland Shows on YouTube as preparation.)
Deleted Santa Baby scene: Santana helps Finn pick out a present for Rachel and sings Santa Baby.
Deleted box scene: A cute little Klaine thing. Blaine gives Kurt a self-made promise ring.
Bts video: Chris said that he had problems with the riffs, runs and scats in Let It Snow.
