'Yes, sorry. Your mom called and she's on her way home. She's picking up dinner from that Thai place you like, and she wants to know what you want.'
'Oh. I dunno. Just get me a number eight with extra chili,' Blaine responded distractedly, and Mr. Anderson nodded before turning to Kurt.
'What about you, Kurt? Are you staying?'
'Thank you, but I should probably be heading home soon.' Blaine's father nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him. Kurt turned to Blaine with a light frown on his face. 'Was that as awkward as I think it was?'
'I'm being passive-aggressive,' Blaine told him casually.
'Why?' Kurt asked, half-amused. He knew that Blaine wasn't as close to his parents as Kurt was to his dad, but Kurt had never seen Blaine be anything but the picture of politeness around them.
'Remember when I told you about Thanksgiving? About my grandmother calling me a freak and all that?' Kurt winced but nodded. 'Did I tell you it happened during the big dinner, and that it wasn't just her, and that my dad basically sat back and let it happen?'
'He what? Why would he do that?'
Blaine simply shrugged. 'We came home on Sunday to Mom just screaming her lungs out at him. I don't think I've ever seen her so angry. It was kind of awesome,' he added, as though he was only just realizing this. 'Anyway, he did apologize, but I just can't be all buddy-buddy with him again after that. Not that I normally am.'
'But he's not against you being trans, is he? I mean, he wouldn't have allowed you to transition otherwise, would he?'
'No,' Blaine admitted slowly. 'I get the feeling he's more concerned that I'm not doing it right.'
'What does that mean?' Kurt asked, nonplussed. Blaine was quiet for a moment as he searched for words.
'Alright, so... in my dad's family, the way he grew up, it's like... men are men and women are women, you know?' Kurt nodded, rolling his eyes at the notion. 'It's stupid and old-fashioned, but that's what he was taught.'
'So, what? He's upset that you like show choir? That you'd rather talk about fashion than cars? That you're gay?'
'All I know is that after I came out as trans, he got obsessed with taking me out to all these stereotypically male bonding activities. Fishing. Playing video games. Car fixing. Baseball games. Playing basketball. And he doesn't even like half those things. Most recently he's told me that maybe I shouldn't be doing musical theater since it's so girly, while encouraging me to get more serious about boxing. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.'
'I'm sorry,' Kurt sympathized. 'I thought he seemed different. A bit less rigid.'
'It doesn't matter.' Blaine tried to seem casual, handwaving the matter off. 'I'm done trying to please him.'
