The drive back home was very awkward. Kurt really didn’t know what he was supposed to say to his dad, 'oh yeah so I went on a date – I didn’t know it was a date until just before we made out in a toilet cubicle and then Blaine showed up and nearly had a fight with Nick'...yeah he certainly couldn’t say that.

“Dad can I stay home please? I really don’t want to go back to Dalton just yet.” Kurt was gazing out of the window, twiddling his thumbs.

“Son, I don’t know what’s shook you up tonight but you gotta go back, it’s expensive and we can’t keep you off otherwise they have the right to exclude you.”

“But can’t you call and, I don’t know, say I’m ill or broke my leg or something.”

“They always send someone around though, I’ve heard stories, and you can’t escape anything.”

“But dad I can’t go back!” Kurt was begging now, and he knew that his dad would question him now.

“You need to tell me everything that happened. Tell me inside, Carole will help you too.”

The two climbed out of the car and made their way up the porch of their house, it’s sure great to be back home. Kurt hadn’t spent much time in this house though since they bought it only a couple of months back when his dad and Finn’s mom got married. Kurt now had his own room and about time really. Finn wanted to bring girlfriends home and spend time with them and Kurt needed his wardrobe space, he never even thought about bringing boyfriends home because he simply thought he’d never have one.

“Kurt! It’s fantastic to see you again sweetie!” Carole brought Kurt into a warm embrace as they walked through the front door and she moved onto hugging Burt.

“Hey Kurt, how ya doing?” Finn got up from the sofa and brought Kurt into a brotherly hug, “how’s Dalton going? Everyone is missing you like crazy.”

“Oh well it’s going just...not very good but I’ll fill you in another time. Meanwhile, I see you’re wearing those vests a lot less often than before you met me, and thank god for that you looked awful!”

“Hey! I did not! And I still wear them, just when you’re not here and I’ve hidden them from you!”

“Um Kurt, your dad says we need to talk, Finn honey do you mind going to your room?”

“Yeah sure, cya later Kurt.” Finn left the room and went upstairs to his bedroom, closing the door behind him. The three of them made their way to the dining room table, the area for not only meals but for the chat when Finn had gotten into trouble.

“So you were out with this Nick, who I haven’t met yet or even heard of and then what happened?”

“Well Nick invited me out to cheer me up because of the whole Blaine situation, we were supposed to be hanging out and then it turned into a date somehow, even though I didn’t want it to.”

“A date? How could you not know it was a date?” Carole chirped in.

“Carole?” Burt snapped.

“Sorry honey.”

“It’s ok. I’m just not used to this sort of thing, as you guys know. But anyway long story short Blaine turned up and him and Nick had an argument which I had to break up because it nearly turned into a fight-”

“Wait what? A fight?”

“Just a heated argument and I had to calm down Blaine.”

“But Blaine seems so calm, such a nice kid.”

“Dad we’re not kids. And he is but Nick was really winding him up, spreading lies about him that wasn’t true.”

“Well I don’t want you spending time with either of these boys again, you hear me?”

“It wasn’t Blaine’s fault! He was protecting me because Nick is trouble and I didn’t know. I’m not going anywhere near Nick again so don’t worry about that.”

“Well alright then, but I want a word with Blaine and no but’s! In the meantime, I’ll call Dalton and tell them you’ve got chickenpox or something. Thank you for calling me and not going back with this Nick.”

“Thank you dad, it won’t happen again, if you don’t mind can I go to my room now? I’m awfully tired.”

“Sure son, goodnight.” Kurt rose from the table and hugged his dad and step-mom goodnight. Well that went a lot better than expected but....what’s he gonna say to Blaine? On his way to his room, he felt a sudden rush to his head and the next thing he knew he was in Finn’s room.

“Did you really just have to kidnap me into your room?”

“Woah dude chill! Just thought I’d surprise you. Anyway what were you guys talking about?”

“Just trouble in paradise, I’m sure Carole will fill you in.”

“Alright well I need help with something, take a seat.”

“You sound like your gonna give the speech of ‘I’m gonna tell you, but then I’m gonna have to kill you’. Go on...”

“I wanna have sex with Rachel but-”

“Woah woah woah there! Hold on, you’re asking a gay guy about how to get with a girl?”

“Well I wanna know how to treat a woman right and I figured well your feminine and hang out with her and Mercedes so you’ll know. Or am I wrong?”

“You got a point I guess. Well first of all you gotta know where your gonna – do it.”

“In a bed of course.”

“Oh well duh! I mean will it be at her house or ours?”

Kurt didn’t really want this conversation with his brother but when it included his friend he wanted it to be right between them.

“Oh hers, her folks are away this weekend so I’m going over to hers. I’ve already had the talk with Mom and Burt...even though I’ve been there with Santana and all.”

“Ok well, cook her a meal. Something so very easy but romantic...and Jewish friendly. Then let her invite you into her room, don’t push her. And then go with the flow, so to speak.”

“But what do I cook her? The only cooking I can do is grilled cheese sandwiches.”

“Don’t worry Finn let me handle that one.” Kurt needed something to distract him from all the chaos anyway. He left Finn’s room and eventually got into his own comfy bed – oh how he’d missed his bed! Dalton was a warm and friendly place but the beds were not that good, and the bathrooms were tiny. McKinley was nothing compared to Dalton but he missed it. 'Oh my god, did I just think that?' he thought. But he did miss it, he missed his friends from glee club. Him and Rachel had recently become friends through similar situations they were in, through Mercedes, and he missed Tina, Brittany, Quinn, Puck, Mike, Artie, Mr Shue, Sam, even Santana. And Sue Sylvester had never really been that bad to him, called him porcelain a few times but he was actually porcelain coloured, it was kind of a compliment. Of course he got to see Finn every weekend he went back home so there was no escaping that one. But what if he went back to McKinley? 'I can’t do that.' Karofsky would be there waiting for him, he said he’d kill him if it slipped out that they kissed, Kurt shuddered under his bed sheets at the thought of that one. He couldn’t go back to the bullying that was for sure, even though the guys promised they’d stick up for him. But what about Blaine? He couldn’t leave him, but was there anything left between them since this evening? It would be awkward seeing him again and it would bring back memories of the whole charade. He couldn’t go back to the Warblers because Nick was there and he didn’t enjoy it as much as he thought he would. The Warblers didn’t let him input into song choices like he was allowed to at New Directions.

Right now, Kurt realised there was more pros into going back to McKinley than there was cons.

End Notes: Just a note - I wrote this before Curt Mega's character was called 'Nick' ... this is NOT the Nick on glee we know. I wouldn't write Curt Mega as a mean character :)
