The Truth Always Comes Out

            Chapter 16: Settling In

          “Oh my God!” the boys said in unison. “Holy crap!” came out of Burt's mouth. Before them stood New York City, literally New York City, the outside wall is made of glass that starts in the middle of the wall and goes to the ceiling. They were witnessing the most beautiful sunset with hues of yellow, pink, and orange shining over New York. All 3 of them were mesmerized by the sight. “This is amazing,” Blaine said as he hugged Kurt. They start to look around the apartment and realize the apartment is furnished. Chairs, couches, tables, lamps everything they would need. On the table was a bouquet of flowers and an envelope addressed to Blaine and Kurt.

Surprise!

I hope you don't mind but I picked up a few necessities. I am sure you will add your own touches to make it your home.

Love,

Mom and Dad

P.S. Your things are being brought up for you.   

          The door bell rings and Burt opens the door. Two men start carrying in the contents of the trailer into the apartment. They ask where they should put the boxes and Blaine and Kurt start giving them directions. In a couple of hours the trailer was empty and Burt had left to return it. Blaine and Kurt sat down on the couch and smiled at each other before cuddling realizing they have made it. They were in New York living their dream.

          The next morning Blaine called Joey to see if he was up for some visitors. He said it would be fine. After lunch Blaine, Kurt, and Burt were headed over to Joey's place. They have to pick up a thick chocolate shake on their way. Joey opened the door and let them in. Kurt said, “Joey this is Burt Hummel, my Father. He helped us move Blaine to New York.”  “Nice to meet you Mr. Hummel,” Joey said. “Please call me Burt,” he said. “Okay,” Joey said. “Is that for me?” Joey asks as he sees the milkshake. “Yes it is,” Kurt says. “And you should start sucking before it melts.” The boys laugh at the remark. “So how are you feeling?” Blaine asks. “Pretty good just tired,” Joey answers. “Now that you are in New York I'll probably start prepping anytime.” “Dr. Potter is going to see me tomorrow afternoon so maybe we'll know more soon.” Blaine says. “I heard you are from Ohio, so what brought you to New York?” Burt asked Joey. “I have always wanted to live in New York. I like the hustle and bustle of the city. It has so much to do and see. I knew I would never be bored. Luckily, I was offered a scholarship to NYU to study law and I accepted immediately. Once I am able I plan on returning to earn my degree, then pass the bar, and be a lawyer.” “I hope it all works out for you kid,” Burt says. “With Blaine's help I'm sure it will,” Joey says. Kurt can see that Joey is getting tired so he says. “We should be going because we have some errands to run before my Father leaves tomorrow heading back to Lima.” Burt shakes Joey's hand and wishes him the best. The boys tell him they will be in touch.

The next morning Blaine and Kurt said goodbye and thanked Burt for all his help. The boys use the rest of the morning unpacking boxes and getting settled into the new apartment, their apartment. They sat on the couch cuddling while they looked out the window enjoying the view. “It feels good to sit down for a few minutes and relax.” Kurt says. Blaine adds, “It has been a crazy couple of weeks and we have a few more weeks to go through with the transplant and recovery. I think I will be happy when school starts in the fall.” says Blaine. “Are you still okay about doing this? Kurt asks. “Yea, I am. I feel good that I can help Joey. It makes me appreciate what I have. Besides, Joey seems to be a nice guy even though he has a bum for a Father.” Blaine answers. Kurt tells Blaine, “Just so you know, I will be there for you all the way.” With a smile Blaine says, “I know you will. That's why I love you so much,” Blaine passionately kisses Kurt and suggests, “Let's go to the bedroom and I will show you how much I love you.” Kurt smiles happily because he knows what that means.
