That Friday Kurt was packed and ready to go, Rachel was dropping him off at the airport (Both her and Santana were catching flight's early the next morning to make it in time for Blaine's surprise) His stomach was full of butterfly's and his heart was racing.<p>He had text both Finn and Blaine to let him know he was boarding and shut off his phone, the flight wasn't long but it felt like forever. By the time the plane had touched down in Lima he practically ran over the poor woman next to him in his hurry to get off. Carry-on in hand he walked off the plane desperately searching for his father, the second he spotted him he took off at a run and leapt at the man who caught him with a laugh and tears in his eyes.</p><p>"I missed you buddy" Burt whispered into his hair. God had he missed his son. For years it had just been the two of him, having Kurt away from home and living on his own in another city had been hard on both of them.</p><p>"I missed you too dad...so much"</p><p>they grabbed his suitcase and got in the car, the drive to the house was full of laughter and catching up on everything Kurt had missed since he'd been in New York. When Burt casually mentioned that they would be going to breakfast in the morning, he mentioned how he thought he was supposed to spend the day with Blaine, Burt avoided his eyes and simply said he would, it was all part of the plan. Kurt resisted pestering his father for questions even though it was now apparent to him whatever Blaine had plan his dad was in on. As much as he wanted to know, Blaine had obviously put a lot of thought into it if his dad was involved so he decided to simply wait and see what happened.</p><p>When they pulled up the house Kurt barely managed to put his hand on the door before Finn was barreling out of the house and pulling Kurt out of the car and into a hug.</p><p>"Finn...Cant...Breathe" Kurt choked out</p><p>"Oops! Sorry little bro...I just...I missed you and stuff you know? The house isn't the same...and don't tell my mom but you are a much better cook" the last part was whispered and Kurt couldn't contain the grin it caused. He'd missed Finn, he was the goofy brother he never knew he wanted.</p><p>"Kurt? Finn....honey why don't you let Kurt come inside I'm sure he's tired and I haven't gotten to say hello yet" Came Carole's voice from the front doorway.</p><p>Finn told him he'd grab his bag and pushed him towards the door; Kurt walked up to Carole and gave her a hug.</p><p>"Oh sweetheart...I've missed you so much...you left me without anyone to watch all the good shows with! I tried to convince your dad to watch them with me...but the second I mentioned it he was already grabbing his tool box and running out the door to fix a nonexistent problem with his car...and when I tried to have Finn help me make dinner...he ended up eating half of it before it even made it to the table...its just not the same without you here" Kurt felt a wave of affection towards his step mother. It had been hard for his to accept the idea that another woman would be taking his mother's place in his father's life, but Carole was wonderful. She never pushed, and was always there to talk and offer support. He honestly adored her, and he liked to think, if his mom had the opportunity to choose someone for his dad after she died...it would have been Carole.</p><p>After having a glass of warm milk with Finn after he ambushed him with it when he was getting ready for bed, Kurt was finally laying down. He unlocked his phone and opened a text from Blaine</p><p>'Welcome home Kurt-Hobbit McDapper-Pants'</p><p>'Home is anywhere you are B, Goodnight, I'll see you tomorrow, can't wait!- K.H.'</p><p>'Ditto. G'night my love.-Hobbit McDapper-Pants'</p><p>*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*K&B*</p><p>When Blaine woke up on Friday morning, he almost had a panic attack. He was so frazzled he walked out of the house with his slippers on and was half way to school before he even noticed. Thankfully he always kept extra shoes in his car due to the slushy attacks at McKinnley. All day long he watched the clock obsessively. He was convinced it was going purposely slow in an effort to delay Kurt from coming to Lima. He was both excited and nervous about tomorrow. He had barely slept last night because he had a dream that Kurt had said 'no' and told Blaine he met someone else and was getting married to HIM. Blaine woke up crying and it had taken a good 10 minutes of sobbing before he realized it had only been a bad dream. It still scared him though. He was just worried something would go wrong or he would mess up his speech or forget the lines to the song he wanted to sing, or drop the ring or all the other million little things that could go wrong. By lunch, Tina had slapped him and told him he needed to calm down, Artie had told him if he didn't shut up about all the things that could possibly go wrong he would run over his feet with his wheel chair, and Sam had advised him to skip caffeine for the rest of the day because he was obviously wound up enough as it was.</p><p>Its not like he could help it...he hadn't exactly proposed to anyone before, could you blame him for being a nervous wreck?</p><p>He had eventually had his phone confiscated during his 5th period class because he kept pulling it out to check for a message from Kurt, he was worried something would happen that would prevent Kurt from coming to Lima and that would just...throw off everything. He had already paid for the hotel, the food, and bribed the owners of various places to allow him to use their space, he had asked all the ND's to keep their days free and had even gotten a hold of all the Warblers that knew and loved Kurt from his time at Dalton to help serenade him. He had all the gift's wrapped and ready to go with notes carefully written and attached to them.</p><p>All that he needed now was Kurt.</p><p>_</p>
