Chapter 10 : Kurtie

Kurt was currently sitting in his room playing angry birds whilst listening to Panic! At the Disco. When he heard a knock at the door he pressed the pause button; do that he could still win the difficult level.

What he didn’t expect to see was his father standing nervously in the middle of his room . Kurt sat up and turned off the loud music so that he would be able to hear his father speaking.

“Dad” Kurt said, “ um what’s up” Kurt was at a loss for words.

“Um nothing. So earlier when you and Finn were talking , I remember overhearing that you have a boyfriend.” Burt said nervously , unsure how Kurt would respond .

Kurt’s eyes grew large . “You were spying on our conversation ?!” Kurt said angrily .

“No , it wasn’t like that . I really did have a phone call . It just only lasted for about 2 minutes.” Burt said .

Kurt sighed. “Fine , its true . I do have a boyfriend”

Burt moved closer to sit on Kurt’s bed . “Do you love him?”

(Kurt’s POV)

I didn’t expect that. No, I really didn’t expect that . I thought he was going to say something like ‘im disappointed in you’ or ‘why would you do that’.

While I was lost in my thought’s my father spoke up .

“You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to . It just sounds like you really care for him” Burt said softly.

“Yeah I do”

“I want you to tell me all about him.”

“Er ok , his name is Blaine , he has curly hair that he always gels down , um he is in glee club with me , he has the most amazing eyes ever , he’s also too polite for his own good ,and that’s about it” Kurt knew there was more , but he wasn’t really comfortable talking to his father about his …love life.

“Sounds like a nice gentleman .I want you to invite him to dinner on Sunday .” Kurt’s eyes grew large once again , he wasn’t sure he wanted Blaine to meet Burt just yet…

“Um ok .But dad, why do you like…care all of a sudden?” Kurt said, looking at his dad questioningly .

Burt’s heart broke at that. He has always cared about Kurt and Finn so much, that it pains him to know that Kurt doesn’t see it .

“Kurt , I have always cared about you .You are my son and I will love you no matter what , okay.”

Kurt now had tears in his eyes at his father’s words. “Why didn’t you say that when I came out ? When I needed you to be a father , you weren’t �there. You pretended that I didn’t exist for so long . Why be a father now?”

Burt sighed.

“When I was a kid your grandparents were as homophobic as they came . I mean , they were supper rude and they were supper judgmental. Of course I wasn’t like that , I couldn’t see why two people of the same gender can’t be in love. They continued to tell me it was wrong , but I just ignored them .When you came out , I didn’t know how to react .” Burt said truthfully. “I apologize that I wasn’t the father that I was supposed to be. I know that doesn’t make up for all those other times that I ignored you or gave you horrible advise; but I’m willing to be a better dad , Kurt.” Burt said solemnly .

Kurt now was full on crying, Burt took this as an opportunity to give Kurt a hug.

“I’ve missed you dad”

“I’ve missed you too kurtie”

Kurt rolled his eyes at the old nickname.
