Introduction

"You're kidding right?" Todd muttered in a half joking and half pleading voice.

Kurt looked at him with a beseechingly serious look that showed he'd meant every word.

"Please?" He begged.

"Dude, there is no way in hell I'm meeting your PARENTS in that thing!" He screamed, pointing at the clothes on the hanger with absolute horror.

Kurt sighed dejectedly and laid the suit on the bed. He knew this was a bad idea.

"I just thought it wouldn't hurt. You know a good first impression and all." He muttered, falling back onto his bed and staring at the ceiling. Todd gave his boyfriend's shoulder a squeeze. He knew Kurt was still freaking out about his parents coming to visit and meeting him. Kurt hadn't even told them he was gay yet.

"Stop freaking out Fuzzy. They're your parents; they've dealt with everything else thrown their way. They can handle this."

Kurt opened one of his eyes and looked at his boyfriend.

"I'm more worried that I can't handle this."

Todd laid down on Kurt's bed and put his head on his boyfriend's chest.

"Maybe…..Maybe it'd be easier if I didn't go with you….. At least you won't have to explain why you chose someone like me."

Kurt flipped onto his side so quickly that Todd nearly fell off the bed.

"Todd…Do you think I'm ashamed of you?" He asked in quiet shock.

Todd wouldn't meet his gaze as he answered.

"I'm not exactly someone people dream about showing their parents to. I mean you could do so much better than me. Your parents might not be upset you're gay, but one look at me might change that. I'm not worth fighting with your parents for. I know that."

Kurt felt his heart ache at the utter lack of dishonesty in Todd's eyes. He truly believed what he was saying. Kurt had thought he'd killed that voice that filled his boyfriend's head with such criticism. Did Todd still doubt how much Kurt loved him?

Kurt hugged Todd so tight he almost couldn't breathe.

"Todd...Don't ever say something like that again! I'm not ashamed! I've never been ashamed of you! I fought for us! Against my friends, the Professor, and even Wolverine to be with you! You're worth everything to me! I love you, you idiot!" He all but screamed.

Todd went rigid at the words and looked at Kurt in wide eyed wonder. No one had ever said that to him. Not even his parents. Yet Kurt said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You mean that?" He asked,in a voice just above a whisper.

Kurt blushed at the look of shock on Todd's face before nodding. He'd never said that to anyone other than his parents before. Was it too early? Did Todd not feel the same way? Was there some rule to telling someone that he wasn't aware of? Did he just make a huge mistak-?

Before he could even finish the thought Todd's lips were on his, warm and firm and oh so delectable.

"Thank you." He mumbled between their frantic kisses, holding onto Kurt like his life depended on it.

When they finally parted for air Kurt looked up at his boyfriend dazedly.

"That was….." He gasped, unable to find the right words.

With eyes brightened with tears he would later deny having shed Todd looked down at his boyfriend.

"Say it again." He asked in an almost begging voice, something that surprised Kurt.

Todd never begged.

In a voice too loud to be a whisper and almost too soft to be heard Kurt repeated the words he'd wanted to say from the day Todd had first agreed to date him.

"I love you."

Before Todd could say whatever he was going to say back, a sound from the door caught their attention.

A sharp gasp filled the room as two suitcases fell to the floor in shock.

It would seem that Martha and David Wagner had arrived earlier then expected.

You can imagine their surprise when they opened the door to find their son pinned down on his bed with another boy on top of him saying I love you.

This was not the introduction Kurt had planned.

Not bad for a first chapter, right?
