So, I have to go by myself in the end…

With that thought in his mind Burt looked around for his stuff and especially his keys. It took him some time to find everything, since his mind was occupied with thoughts about his son, Kurt. Who was in the hospital right now, after being involved in a car accident.

Burt didn’t even know the details of said accident but he knew that his son was in a coma – and that couldn’t mean a good thing, right?

He finally found everything what he needed and made his way over to the door. When he wanted to leave his house a man stood in front of it – about to ring the door bell.

“Bl… Blaine, what are you doing here?” Burt asked with a gasp. He wasn’t sure if Blaine knew anything about Kurt.

“I … I was waiting for a text from Kurt since he wanted to let me know if he got home safe, but I never got one. So I wanted to check on him and ask if he is ok?” Blaine said in a rush.

Blaine knew that he might have overstepped some rules since they still didn’t talk about what they were. But he was worried.

Burt just grabbed him and hugged him tight. Blaine had no idea what was going on, but he hugged the other man back.

“Burt, Burt, is everything ok?”

“No … No, it isn’t.” Burt said truthfully and started to sob even harder. “Can … Can you take me to the hospital please?” He asked with a sick voice.

“Of course I can. But why? Are you sick? Is Kurt sick?” Blaine asked, the worry getting the best of him.  

“I … I’m not sick. But … But K… Kurt was in a car accident and he is in a coma now.” Burt told him and ultimately had to steady Blaine.

Wait? What? Kurt? OMG. What happened? Is he alive? My sweet Kurt. Who would do such a thing like that to him? My poor baby…

With those thoughts he felt his knees giving in and how he sank to the floor. It was all too much. He felt that Burt tried to steady him. And he was glad about this. Tears began to cloud his eyes and he had problems to hold them back.

“Is … Is he alive though?” Blaine asked – not registering what Burt said earlier.

“Yeah. Yes, he is alive. But they put him in a coma. And I have no idea what his injuries are…” Burt said with a sigh. “Carole didn’t mention anything else to me on the phone.”

“Carole?

“Yes, Carole. The nurse who was calling me earlier.”

“Oh, ok, I see. I’m glad he is alive, Burt! And of course I will drive you. But you have to keep me calm please – I can’t really focus on anything right now!”

“Of … of course, Blaine. Thank you so much for doing this.”

“No need to thank me, Burt!” Blaine said and holds the door open for Burt to follow him to his car. He really wanted to see his student/friend/boyfriend. He was so worried about Kurt that it kind of scared him. But he was never so sure about his feelings for someone in his life. He fell in love with his student and he was falling hard.

He never felt so quick for another boy. But right in this moment he was sure, that he was in love with Kurt Hummel.

“Burt? Burt, can I ask you something?”

“Sure, shoot.” Burt answered and didn’t know what was going to happen.

“I … I don’t know. I just realized that I … that I have strong feelings … feelings for someone. And I’m not sure if I should act on them … or not.”

“Ok. May I ask who that person is? Or do I already know it?” Burt said with a smirk.

“It’s … it’s Kurt, your son to be honest. And I have no idea how you would feel about that…” Blaine said and was blushing from ear to ear. He had no clue how supportive Burt would be of them.

“I see.” Burt says. And that’s all. I see. Nothing else??

“O-K-A-Y? Do you have anything else to say?” Blaine asks shyly.

“Blaine, I already know that my son has feelings for you. Since he told me so. And I’m not blind, you know?”

Blaine just nodded at that and waited for Burt to continue.

“How strong are your feelings for my son?”

“I … I think that I fell in love with him, sir!”

“Blaine, we are way past that “sir” stuff, it’s Burt! And to ask you another question. You think you fell in love?”

“No … No, s… Burt. I know that I fell in love with your son. I guess it was the moment I first saw him. I couldn’t keep my eyes of off him. And to know that someone hurt him makes me so angry. Not only at the other person but also at me, you know?”

“Yeah, I can see that. And believe me I’m mad at me as well. Since I let him go over to your place. I know you have nothing to do with that, Blaine. And I’m glad that he has you to look after him as well. But it doesn’t change the fact that he is in the hospital right now, you know?”

“Yes. I do. And I’m glad you think like that. Thank you, Burt!”

“No problem, son.”

Did he just call me son? Like seriously? Not even my own dad calls me that – and we are pretty close.

Blaine saw tears in his eyes again. But he wiped them away with his sleeves. He didn’t want Burt to see that he was emotional, but he couldn’t help it.

Burt of course saw this. And padded Blaine on the shoulder.

“He will be fine again. I’m sure of that. He is a Hummel. But you should tell him how you feel about him. That might help his recovery, ok?”

Burt sobbed a little at that. “We didn’t even talk about what we are to each other. So how could I tell him what I feel?” Blaine asked in a low voice.

“Just be honest to him. I’m sure he will listen to what you have to say. Just be you, Blaine!” Burt said and wasn’t really sure who he was trying to convince with this. But he knew that he couldn’t stop the love between those two. And he wasn’t going to step between this.

If they loved each other – then so be it. He still remembers his first love. His late wife. He was sure that he was in love with her the first moment he saw her. So he knew how Blaine was feeling right now.

And he was ok with it. He would support his son no matter what. And if they love would be the real thing for a long time then so be it. He is not going to stand in the way and he would always protect their love – if that meant that they could be happy.

Surely it wasn’t a great deal that this was a student/teacher relationship. But love doesn’t know any boundaries. And if they would be happy then he would be happy too.

During their conversation their made their way to the hospital. Both men were nervous about what they would find and how bad Kurt was hurt.

They reached the front desk and asked for Kurt’s room number. The nurse on duty told them the number and they went up to the Intensive Care unit. She also told them that Carole would be waiting for them outside of the room.

They took the elevator upstairs and both took a deep breath and tried to relax some more. But it was hard.

As promised Carole was waiting outside the room to greet them.

“Hi, I’m, Carole. I was calling you earlier. You are Burt, right?” She asked.

“I … Hi … I mean … Hi, yes, I’m Burt. Nice to meet you, even under those circumstances.” He stammered.

Blaine watched the scene and smiled to himself. He knew what Burt must be feeling right now, if those heart eyes were any indication.

“I wish the circumstances would be better. But I’m glad you found someone who could drive you here. You are?”

“Hi. I’m Blaine Anderson. I’m …”

“He is Kurt’s boyfriend, Carole.”

Blaine wasn’t sure if he heard correctly. Did he really say that I am his son’s boyfriend? Really? OMG.

“Yes, that’s him. I hope it is ok, that he joined me?” Burt asked a little shy now.

“Burt, sure it’s ok. I guess everyone who is close to Kurt should be here right now. Maybe he will wake up from his coma with your help?”

“Right. Can you tell me what his injuries are though?” Burt asked a little concerned.

“I … I’m not allowed to tell you that actually since I’m not a doctor. But I will tell you such as much: Your son and your boyfriend was part in a hit and run. We still don’t know who did that to him and I guess the police will be here once he wakes up. Nevertheless he has several broken ribs, a broken leg and a head damage – that’s why we put him in a coma in the first place…”

Burt and Blaine went white when they heard the news about his injuries. They took deep breaths to steady themselves. They couldn’t believe that someone would hurt their angel.

“Wait, a hit and run?” Burt had to ask that.

“Apparently, yes. The paramedics saw no other car around. And the police only found some marks so that they figured out that it was a hit and run.” Carole said.

Blaine couldn’t stand this anymore. He just wanted to see Kurt – his new love.

“Sorry, but can I just see him now?”

“Burt, is that ok with you if he goes in first? Sadly only one person can see him at the time. I’m sorry. But he is still in Intensive Care and that are the rules.”

Burt also wanted to see his son. But he knew that Blaine was just as anxious as he was. But he also wanted to talk a little more to Carole. He was caught between two stools.

“Yeah, sure. Go ahead. We will change a little later, ok?”

“Ok. Sure. Thank you so much, Burt.”

Blaine hugged Burt – once again – and made his way over to Kurt’s door. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open. He saw Kurt lying in bed wires everywhere and a peeping noise was telling him that his angel was still alive, even if his eyes were closed.

Slowly he made his way over to the bed. He couldn’t believe that someone could to this to his boyfriend. Yes, he is my boyfriend now. Burt told me so. And he will say so as well. Maybe he should have stayed at my place instead of going home so late. Great, now I’m worrying about stuff I can’t change. He has to wake up first.

He finally reached the bed and sat down in a chair which was placed next to Kurt’s bed. Before he sat down he stroked the hair out of Kurt’s face and kissed his forehead.

“Beautiful, you have to wake up. Please. I need you and I know that your dad needs you as well. Please, come back to us.”

Kurt didn’t react to that. Blaine wished he would though. But he also knew that he was only put into the coma and that it might take some time till he will be back with them. If he even will…

Blaine stayed a little while longer with his boyfriend but left since Burt wanted to see his son as well. So Blaine went home and tried to forget what happened that day. Of course not the kisses and hugs they shared, only the bad part was going to be erased as good as possible.  

It was hard though. Trying to focus on his school work was not easy. And getting to sleep that night was hard.

During the next few weeks Blaine went to the hospital bed every single day. And every single day he told Kurt that he loved him. But nothing happened on Kurt’s side.

One day though he stayed longer at Kurt’s bed and saw that Kurt was shaking and trembling. He pushed the button so that the nurses could help him. Blaine thought he was dreaming bad and he couldn’t watch this any longer.

He tried to sooth him as best as he could. He strokes his forehead and whispered little things into his ear. Especially that he loved him. He kissed him all over the other man’s face – still in hope that the other man would wake up now.

“Blaine!”

“Yes, honey. I’m here. Wake up and come back to us.” Tears were clouding his eyes and he couldn’t take it anymore.

“BLAINE!” With his last scream of Blaine’s name he slowly opened his eyes and looked into a pair of hazel eyes which were full of tears. And he didn’t know why... 

“BLAINE!”

“Kurt…” And he broke down in front of his boyfriend…
