Chapter 9: Oh Burt

 (Burt’s POV)

When Kurt’s mom and I first brought him home we were the happiest family we knew. When Kurt was growing up I noticed that he would rather make tea with Elisabeth than fix cars with me .Of course I saw no problem with this ; I loved him anyways. But once Elisabeth died we became closer than ever, Kurt started helping out in the shop while I volunteered to help polish his tiara collection . As he grew older we grew separate ; I spent more nights in the garage than watching  ‘Project Runway ‘ with Kurt .When Kurt came out , you could say that I acted un-father like . Now that I look back, I should have acted a bit more fatherly . By saying things like ‘i love you no matter what’ or ‘I’m proud of you for doing this’. But no , I had to act like my parents by being an idiot. Turns out that saying “go to your room” to your son after he came out to you isn’t the best idea. I admit I wasn’t thinking when I said it , but all those years of my parents bashing gays around me came back full circle . When Kurt told me that the bullying was getting worse I didn’t know exactly what he was talking about. I thought it was just slushies’ and a few name callings here and there. I had no Idea that within three weeks he would change himself entirely . I also had no idea that it would be the star of Kurt getting suspended for getting into fights, damage of school property, and skipping class . So I asked my father for advice , so he told me to send him to Dalton academy . Willing to do anything to get ‘old Kurt’ back I agreed .I could afford it of course , my great grand parents were basically rich ; so I don’t have to really worry about finances .

Once a month I decide to have important family dinners so that I know that everyone is okay in school or just having a nice day. We started this tradition when I adopted Finn. (I decided it would be a good idea since Kurt was drifting away)

When I came home Friday after noon I heard talking so I headed up to Kurt’s room to see what was going on . I really didn’t expect to see Finns (loud and slightly annoying ) girlfriend sitting on Kurt’s bed talking with him . I ended up having an argument with him ending up with both of us felling slightly sad .

When finn came home he sat on the couch to watch the current football game with me ; a moment later Kurt showed up and started talking with Finn about ‘glee club’ and such. In the middle of their conversation my phone started ringing loudly , so of course I answered it . It was only a wrong number , so it didn’t take much time . What caused me to stay in the other room was the fact that Finn and Kurt were talking about Kurt’s …boyfriend. He has a boyfriend? I should have expected that ; I did send him to an all boys school . Its still a bit shocking though. Wait a minute , since we are having our next family dinner Sunday ; I could invite Kurt’s boyfriend ! It’s a fantastic idea . All I need is for Kurt to agree …
