The morning of Burt's surgery came and Kurt was a nervous wreck. He couldn't stay still as everyone got ready. He went into the kitchen to pour himself something to calm his nerves.


"Please tell me that isn't coffee." Blaine said.


Kurt chuckled. "Want some?.." He said, handing the mug full orange juice and vodka to him.


"I'll take a sip." Blaine said, doing just that. "You okay?"


Kurt shook his head. "I feel like I'm gonna pass out.." He whispered before taking a long drink from the mug.


"That might make you pass out." Blaine said concernedly.


"It helps.." Kurt said seriously.


"I'm just saying don't overdo it."


Kurt sighed, turning away from his boyfriend. Burt walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. "I'm ready when you are.."


"Okay. I'm ready."


Burt nodded as he grabbed his coat. Blaine drove them to the hospital and Finn drove Carole and Rachel. Kurt sat in the back seat with his father, holding his hand. "Are you okay?"


Burt was nervous but he had to be brave for his son. "I'm okay, kid. They'll take care of it."


Kurt nodded, resting his head on his father's shoulder. Burt wrapped an arm around Kurt. "It'll be over soon."


"For you.." Kurt giggled. “You get to sleep through it.."


"Thank god." Burt chuckled. "I haven't been sleeping much."


Kurt laughed lightly. "You're crazy.."


Burt shrugged. "Maybe."


"Well, after your surgery, you'll be in bed a lot too. More time to sleep." Kurt said softly.


"And being bored."


"I'll stay with you.." Kurt smiled.


"Okay." Burt said softly.


"And maybe you'll be out for Blaine's opening night next week." Kurt grinned.


"Won't matter if I'm not. I'm going." Burt said seriously.


Blaine smiled. "Thanks Mr. Hummel.."


"You're welcome."


Kurt smiled lightly. "I love you guys.."


"We love you too." Blaine said softly. Kurt squeezed his father's hand as they pulled into the hospital. They got Burt checked in and waited for his name to be called. Kurt sighed as they did. He quickly stood and hugged his father close. "I'll be here, okay?.."


"Don't worry. I'm going to be okay."


"Okay..I'm sorry...I love you.."


"I love you too, son." Burt whispered. He hugged his wife close, kissing her softly before following the doctor.


Kurt grabbed Carole's hand and sat between her and Blaine.


"He'll be okay." Carole whispered to herself.


Kurt squeezed her hand and nodded. "He will.."


Carole gave a light smile. "Thank you."


He smiled back, kissing her hand softly. The wait for an update felt like an eternity. Hours passed and Kurt was asleep against Blaine when the doctor came out. Carole quickly walked over. "Is he okay?"


"Everything went perfect." The doctor smiled.


"Oh my god." Carole gave a relieved sigh. "When can we see him?"


"He should be waking up soon. I'll come get you then.."


"Thank you." Carole said before going back to the boys.


Kurt stirred against Blaine, snoring softly.


Carole chuckled. "He's so adorable even as a man."


Blaine giggled, brushing his hair out of his face gently.


"Burt's okay. He's resting now."


Kurt looked up as he woke up. "He's okay?.."


Carole smiled. "He's okay, sweetie. We're just waiting for him to wake up."


"Can I go see him?" He asked sitting up.


"The doctor said he'd let us know when we can go back."


"Okay.." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes.


"How are you feeling?" Carole asked.


"Tired..I need a drink.."


"I think we could all use one." Carole sighed. Kurt chuckled, sighing softly. Blaine closed his eyes. He was worried this would be a problem. The doctor came back to get them and Kurt had his arms wrapped around himself as he followed. Carole let Kurt go in first. Kurt saw his father laying on the bed and let out a shaky breath. "Dad?.."


Burt gave a low groan before looking over. "Hey, Kurt."


Kurt walked over quickly. "How are you feeling?.."


"Tired.."


Kurt sat down and carefully grabbed his hand. "Any pain?.."


Burt shook his head.


Tears filled Kurt's eyes. "That's good.."


"What's wrong?"


"I'm just glad you're okay.."


Burt gave a small smile. "I'm okay."


Kurt smiled back. "Good."


"Did they say when I can leave?" Burt asked groggily.


"In a few days.." Kurt said.


Burt sighed. "All I'm going to do is lie here. I can do that at your place without giving you more bills."


"Dad..You have to stay here and be monitored by doctors to make sure you're healing properly."


"Well, it's annoying."


"I know..But the more you cooperate, the faster you'll be out.." Kurt smiled.


That night, Carole stayed with Burt while the rest of them went home. As soon as they walked in, Kurt went to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of wine. "Rachel, Blaine, Finn? You want something to drink?"


"Please." Finn nodded as the other two declined.


Kurt grabbed Finn a beer and walked to the living room. "Long day.."


"Very." Rachel sighed. "Mind if we stay here tonight?"


"Not at all." Kurt smiled, sitting next to Blaine and sipping his wine.


Blaine watched his boyfriend carefully. He knew Kurt was having a tough time but he knew how out of hand drinking could get.


Kurt had a few more glasses before Finn and Rachel decided to head to bed. Kurt smiled, wrapping himself around Blaine. "Thank you..For being here with me.."


Blaine nodded. "You're welcome."


"I can't wait for your opening night, baby..You're gonna be so amazing..." He smiled, playing with his curls.


"I hope so."


"You will.." Kurt grinned. "I know my baby.."


"I've never done anything like this before. Not this big.."


"And you'll do amazing.."


Blaine nodded slowly. "Thank you."


"What's wrong?.."


"Nothing. I think I'm just ready to sleep."


"Come on..I'll hold you.." Blaine stood and Kurt did as well, losing his balance before Blaine grabbed him to steady him. Blaine sighed as he helped Kurt to their room.


Kurt giggled, "I'm sorry baby.."


"It's fine. Let’s just go to bed."


Kurt nodded, undressing as Blaine closed the door. Blaine did the same and pulled on his pajama pants and a shirt. Kurt stayed in his boxers and climbed on top of Blaine after he laid down. "Hi.." He smiled.


"Hi." Blaine said quietly.


Kurt kissed Blaine softly. "You're so handsome.."


"Thank you.."


Kurt kissed Blaine a bit deeper and ran his hand up under his shirt.


"Kurt.." Blaine said quietly. "I really just want to sleep."


Kurt sighed softly, giving Blaine a quick peck. "Okay..I'm sorry.."


"It's okay. Good night."


Kurt rolled over a bit but kept his head on Blaine's chest as he quickly drifted to sleep. It took a bit longer for Blaine but he finally let sleep take him.


The next morning Blaine woke up before Kurt and Kurt whined. "Blaine.."


"What, babe?"


"Can you make me a little drink, please?..I have a headache.."


"You want some water?"


"No..Just some orange juice with vodka..Or we have bloody Mary mix in the fridge.." Kurt mumbled into the pillow.


Blaine sighed. "Kurt..."


"Please?.."


“You just woke up."


"I know.."


Blaine sighed. "Fine."


"Thank you.."


"Yeah." Blaine said as he got up.


Rachel was up, cooking breakfast. "Morning." She smiled.


"Hey." Blaine said as he walked straight to the fridge.


"Want something to eat?" She asked as Blaine grabbed the orange juice and vodka.


"A little early for that, isn't it?" Rachel giggled.


"Tell Kurt that."


"Oh god. He did this before his first musical.."


"What happened?" Blaine asked.


"Just stress..He was drinking a lot until his director told him to stop or he was out."


"What do I do?"


"Talk to him.."


Blaine nodded. He poured a glass of orange juice and put the vodka away.


"Are you okay?"


"Just worried about him." Blaine said softly.


"He'll be okay.." Rachel smiled.


"Thanks." Blaine said before heading back to their room. "Babe? Can we talk?"


"About?" Kurt yawned.


Blaine set the glass down. "It's just orange juice. I think you're starting to rely on drinking to deal with what's going on."


Kurt looked up at Blaine. "What?..No..I've just been having a few drinks.."


"In the morning. Then the afternoon. And more before bed." Blaine said.


Kurt bit his lip. "I'm just stressed.."


Blaine took Kurt's hand. "I know. I know you are. But I don't want you to develop a problem with drinking."


Kurt looked down. "I don't think it'll be a problem.."


"Don't get mad. But Rachel told me about what happened before."


Kurt sighed, sitting up and running a hand through his hair. "What'd she say?.."


"That you started drinking when you got your first big role. And you almost lost it because of your drinking."


Kurt nodded, looking down in shame.


"I'm just looking out for you, okay?" Blaine said softly.


"Okay.. I just don't know any other way to really let go and relax.."


"I know, beautiful. Just try being with us. We'll start there. If you want to meditate or try yoga, I'll do it if you want someone to do it with."


Kurt nodded, "I'd like that.."


Blaine leaned in and kissed Kurt softly. "I love you so much."


Kurt kissed Blaine again. "I love you too.." he whispered.


Blaine climbed back into bed. "Do you know how beautiful you are?"


Kurt smiled shyly. "No.."


"You take my breath away, Kurt."


Kurt blushed lightly, pulling himself closer to Blaine. "Really?.."


Blaine nodded. "You do."


"You're amazing.." Kurt whispered, looking up at him from under his lashes.


"So are you."


Kurt leaned up, kissing Blaine softly. Blaine hummed happily. Kurt let out a slow breath, threading his fingers through Blaine's curls. Blaine couldn't help but give a low moan. Kurt tightened his fingers and pulled lightly. Blaine's breathing deepened as he hitched his leg over Kurt's hip. Kurt moaned softly, rubbing up his thigh.


"Kurt.." Blaine breathed out.


"How do you do that?.."


"Do what?.."


"Make me want you so bad..Fuck.."


Blaine bit Kurt's ear lobe. "I want you to fuck me."


Kurt gasped quietly squeezing Blaine's ass lightly.


"O-Oh.."


"I want you.."


"Take me.."


Kurt rolled on top of Blaine and kissed him deeply. Blaine wrapped his legs around Kurt. Kurt thrust down as he kissed along Blaine's neck when there was a knock on the door.


"No." Blaine whined.


"We're busy!" Kurt called.


Rachel chuckled. "Breakfast is ready when you're done!"


"Okay!"


Kurt chuckled, leaning down to suck at Blaine's neck.


"Fuck, I love that.."


Kurt smiled. "Yeah?..Tell me what else you love.."


"When you...whisper in my ear.."


Kurt grinned, nipping at lobe. "You like this?.." He whispered. "You're so sexy under me.."


Blaine gave a loud whine as he arched his back. There was something about feeling Kurt's breath against his ear. It almost tickled. But there was something that excited him. "Y-Yes.."


"Fuck, baby..What else?" Kurt smiled.


"Use your nails when you grab my ass.." Blaine breathed out. "I-I really love it when you lightly trace around the small of my back. It's such a tease.."


Kurt pulled Blaine's pants off and gripped his ass roughly before kissing him and running his hands up to tease along his lower back.


Blaine shivered as he wrapped himself around Kurt tighter. "Fuck.. J-Just like that.."


Kurt smiled against Blaine's lips. "You're so sexy.."


"I'm so hard, Kurt.. I need you.."


Kurt pulled off Blaine's shirt and bit his nipple lightly. Blaine gasped as he leaned into the touch.


"You want me?.." Kurt whispered.


"I need you."


"Ooh..That's such a good boy.." Kurt smiled.


"Please." Blaine whimpered. Kurt moaned, slicking his fingers up and pushing one into Blaine. Blaine spread his legs for Kurt as he let out a small moan.


"My baby's so tight.."


"All for y-you.."


Kurt smiled, pressing another finger in.


"Ah!"


"Shh..."


Blaine reached up to grip his pillow.


"You look so amazing.."


"Tell me.."


"I love watching how you move..So gorgeous.."


Blaine closed his eyes as he rolled his hips.


"Take me.."


"Kurt.."


Kurt pulled out and lined himself up with Blaine. Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes. "I love you.."


Kurt looked back at Blaine, running his hand along his jaw. "I love you so much.."


Blaine gasped softly as Kurt started to push in. Kurt gave a low moan, kissing under Blaine's jaw.


"Oh my god.."


"So good.."


Blaine scratched down Kurt's back. "So big.."


Kurt moaned softly as he started to thrust. Blaine dug his nails into Kurt's skin.


"Blaine..I love you.."


"I-I love you too."


Kurt rolled his hips down. "You like that, baby?.."


"Y-Yes!"


Kurt moaned against Blaine's ear. "Ungh.."


Blaine arched his back off of the bed as he gripped the sheets.


"You're so sexy, baby.."


"Kurt.." Blaine whined.


"Mmm..yes?"


"Keep talking.."


"You're so perfect..How you feel around me..ungh..amazing."


Blaine reached up to pull Kurt's hair. "Harder."


Kurt growled, gripping Blaine's hips and thrusting harder.


"Ah! Ungh, baby!"


"Blaine..I-I'm close.."


"Me too.. Fuck me!"


Kurt slammed into Blaine, moaning loudly. Blaine closed his eyes, crying out as he moved with Kurt. Kurt pressed his lips to Blaine's giving a few more rough thrusts as he came. Blaine whimpered against Kurt's mouth as he let go. Kurt gasped, rubbing up Blaine's neck.


"Oh my..god.." Blaine breathed out heavily. Kurt grinned, kissing Blaine softly.


"I could definitely go for some breakfast now." Blaine giggled.


Kurt chuckled. "Me too.."


They cleaned up and got dressed.


Rachel smiled at them as they came out. "Work up an appetite?"


"Sure did." Kurt grinned.


Finn made a face as he sipped his coffee.


"Don't act like you don't do that with Rachel." Kurt laughed.


"I do, but you're my brother." Finn chuckled.


"True. What's for breakfast?"


"Pancakes." Rachel smiled.


Blaine hummed as he made a plate. Kurt did the same and sat with his family.


"When do you go back to work?" Finn asked Rachel.


"Blaine and I have to go in tonight."


Finn nodded. "Mind dropping me off at the hospital first?"


"Not at all." She smiled, kissing his cheek softly. Finn leaned against her and sighed quietly.


"Are you okay?.."


"I just wish I could make him better."


Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand as Rachel hugged Finn, kissing his forehead. "I know..I do too.."


Finn was quiet as he held her close.


"I love you.."


"I love you too, Rach."


She smiled lightly, nuzzling under his jaw.


"I-I'm going to shower." Kurt said to Blaine.


Blaine looked up at him. "Okay, baby..You okay?"


Kurt nodded. "Yeah."


Blaine nodded, leaning up to kiss him softly. Kurt gave a sad smile as he walked away. Blaine watched him before looking to Rachel.


"He okay?" Rachel asked.


"I don't know..I'm gonna go talk to him.."


“Okay."


Blaine stood and walked to the bathroom. Kurt had just started the water.


"Baby?.."


Kurt turned the faucet off. "Yeah?"


"Are you sure you're okay?.."


Kurt opened the door. "I'm as okay as I can be."


"The surgery went great, baby..He's okay.."


"He still has cancer." Kurt whispered. Blaine sighed softly, pulling him into his arms. Kurt sagged against Blaine.


"It's okay.." Blaine whispered, rubbing his back. Kurt nodded against his chest. "We're going to get through this, okay?"


"Together?" Kurt asked quietly.


"Always.."


Kurt nodded a thank you.


"I love you, Kurt.."


"I-I love you too.."


Blaine felt awful. He wanted to be here for Kurt..It was so hard to see him this upset.. He held Kurt close before his phone rang.


Kurt gave a shaky breath. "Hello?"


"Hey, Kurt. It's Theo."


"Hey.."


"How are you doing?"


"Alright, I guess." Kurt sighed. "How about you? How's the office?"


"It's great. I actually got you a tv interview for tomorrow."


"Me? What for?"


"On Lana." Theo said. It was a popular new talk show. "They want to talk about Blaine and your new line, which is doing amazingly well."


"Oh.. I-I don't know if I can handle it.." Kurt said quietly.


"Kurt..I know what you're going through..But it's only eleven minutes."


"Would they bring any of this up?" Kurt asked. "Because I can't do that."


"I've already talked to them."


"Theo, I'm asking if they will bring up what I'm going through."


"I know, I already told them it's off limits Mr. Hummel."


"Okay. What time should I be ready?"


"Be there by eight in the morning."


"Okay." Kurt said. "Thank you, Theo."


"You're welcome, Mr. Hummel. I'll see you tomorrow."


Kurt agreed before hanging up.


Blaine looked at him. "What'd he say?"


"I have an interview tomorrow."


"That's great.."


Kurt nodded. "They want to promote my clothing line and talk about you."


"I hope you'll say good things.." Blaine grinned.


Kurt couldn't help but smile. "I have nothing bad to say."


"Well you do complain about my snoring." Blaine giggled.


"True. But they don't need to know that."


Blaine pulled Kurt close and kissed him softly. "I think this is just what you need."


"What is?"


"The interview..It'll take your mind off of everything."


"I hope so." Kurt said. "I think I'm going to take a bath. Want to join me?"


"I'd love to.."


Kurt ran the bath and the two men relaxed. Blaine and Rachel took Kurt and Finn to spend the day with Burt. He was getting restless, but he felt a bit better.


The next day, Rachel rode with Blaine and Kurt to the tv studio. Kurt was stretching to calm his nerves.


"You're gonna do great." Rachel said, as the makeup artist dusted his cheeks lightly.


"It's just been a while." Kurt said.


"You've got this." Blaine smiled.


"Thanks, babe."


"Mr. Hummel, we're about to call you on. We're live." An assistant said.


Kurt nodded. "I'm ready."


She led him to where he'd come on as he heard his name being announced and a song from his last musical playing. He put on a smile and walked out onstage to see the cheering audience. Lana grinned as she hugged and welcomed Kurt.
"Kurt Hummel! Wow, thank you so much for coming. I'm a huge fan." The blonde smiled as they sat.


"Thank you for having me! I'm so excited." Kurt said.


"So. You and Blaine Anderson. How is that coming along?" She smiled as a picture of Blaine appeared on the screen behind them. "He's quite the cutie.."


"Yes, he is." Kurt says proudly. "He's the best."


"I hear he's going to be in his first show ever. Has he had any experience in a production before?"


"He started in grade school. He did plays back home." Kurt explained. "Nothing like this."


"How is he handling it? Any Hell week jitters?" Lana smiled.


"Blaine is doing very well. It's exhausting. But he has a great support system around him."


"That's great." She nodded, "Very great." She said before turning to the camera. "Tickets for Asher are already on presale, so get yours today. Opening night is the twenty-third."


She asked Kurt a couple of questions about his line and how his career was going before she reached over and placed her hand over his. "So..Your father is here to visit you. Is that correct?"


Kurt froze. "My assistant told you we weren't talking about this."


"We're live.." She whispered. "How is he doing? Is he watching now?"


Tears sprang to Kurt's eyes. "I-I'm sorry.. I can't.."


Lana's eyes darted to her producer who was frantically mouthing. 'What are you doing?'. The music began to play and she gently squeezed Kurt's hand. "Well thank you so much for coming Kurt, it was a joy. When we return, we get the scoop on Angelina Jolie's next movie.." She smiled before they cut to commercial.


Kurt quickly stood and rushed backstage. Theo ran over to Kurt. "Mr. Hummel, I swear I talked to her about this.."


Kurt just shook his head. He just cried on national television. "I-I need.. Where's Blaine?!"


Blaine hurried over and quickly pulled Kurt into his arms. "Kurt..I'm so sorry.."


Kurt broke down in Blaine's arms. Blaine held Kurt close as Rachel stormed onto the stage. "What is wrong with you?!" She yelled at Lana.


"People want to know. So I asked." She said simply.


"His assistant told you not to! He can't handle it! When word of this spreads, no one is going to want to work with you.." she huffed.


"It's my job, Ms. Berry. It's what we do."


"He is backstage crying his eyes out..I hope you got what you wanted out of him." Rachel hissed, turning on her heel and walking backstage.


When Rachel reached Blaine and Kurt, she sighed. "Come on. Let’s go to the hospital."


Kurt nodded, wiping his eyes, but the tears wouldn't stop as Blaine led him out. Paparazzi were everywhere. Lights were flashing in his face as soon as they opened the door. Blaine and Theo tried to clear a path while Rachel wrapped an arm around Kurt. Questions about his father flew from all directions and his heart was pounding in his ears as he tried to push his way through. It was too much. He pulled away from Rachel and pushed one of the men away from him.
"Leave me alone! What the hell is wrong with you people?! My father is sick! Just leave me alone!" He yelled.


The paparazzi responded with even more questions. Blaine knew Kurt pushing the man would be in the papers later. Kurt reached up to cover his eyes as Theo pulled him towards the cab. They got Kurt in first before scooting in as well.


"Oh god.." Kurt whispered, leaning against Blaine.


"It's okay, baby." Blaine tried to soothe. Kurt just shook his head as he cried.


"I-I'm so sorry, Mr. Hummel. I should've listened to you.." Theo said, his voice filled with guilt.


"It's not your fault, Theo.." Kurt said, sniffing.


Rachel took Kurt's hand. "We'll get you through this."


"I can't believe I did that.."


"It's okay. People will understand."


"We don't know that.." He sighed.


"We'll figure something out." Blaine said softly. Kurt nodded, hiding his face in Blaine's neck. They got to the hospital and headed to Burt's room. Kurt tried to smile as he saw his dad. "Hey.."


"Hey. How did it go?"


"I-It was okay.." Kurt said softly.


Burt nodded. "Good. Any new projects coming up?"


"I'm taking a break for a while." Kurt said quietly.


"Why?"


"I feel like I just need some time for me.." Kurt said, sitting next to him.


"Makes sense. Don't take too much time. You love what you do." Burt said softly.


Kurt smiled. "Thanks, Dad.."


"You're welcome, kid." Burt said as he smiled at his son. "Hey.. You think you can sneak in some kind of food for me? I'm already tired of this hospital stuff."


"Dad.." Kurt giggled. "I'll see."


Burt grinned. "That's my boy."


Kurt smiled. "Nothing super unhealthy, though."


"Just a little?" Burt asked hopefully.


"Maybe." Kurt laughed lightly.


Burt's eyes crinkled as he smiled. "I'm glad I'm here, Kurt."


"Me too.." Kurt said, squeezing his hand.


Outside the room, the rest of the family sat and talked. A young woman confidently walked over to the. "Mr. Anderson?"


Blaine looked up. "Yes?.."


"Could I have a moment of your time?"


Blaine excused himself and followed the woman.


"My name in Allison York. I write for a local magazine. Please hear me out before you dismiss me."


Blaine crossed his arms. "Kurt's been through a lot today. He doesn't want to speak to anyone in the media.."


"Mr. Anderson, I'm here to help. I got a glimpse at an article that's printing tomorrow. If I get an interview from Kurt, I can counteract it." Allison said in her professional tone. "If Kurt will give an interview to only me, I will make sure none of his words are twisted. It will be all about him. You can even read it before I publish if you'd like."


Blaine thought a moment. "I'll go get him.."


"Thank you."


Blaine went to Kurt and talked to him in the hall about Allison.


"You think she's being honest?" Kurt asked.


“She said we can read it when she's done and if we don't like it she won't submit it.."


"Alright.. I'll talk to her."


"Okay..I'll be with you the whole time.."


Kurt nodded as they walked out to the garden to meet her.


Allison grinned as she introduced herself. "It's such a pleasure to meet you."


"Likewise.." Kurt said softly as they sat down.


"As I told your boyfriend, if you only give an interview about your father to me, I'll keep this all about what you're going through. No slander. Nothing like that."


Kurt nodded. "It's hard to find people like you in this industry.."


"I know. It might help that I'm a huge fan." Allison smiled.


Kurt chuckled softly. "That's great."


"So, can you tell me what your father is diagnosed with?"


"Prostate Cancer..This is his second run with it.."


Allison nodded as she took notes. "How is he handling it?"


"He is handling it well.." Kurt sighed.


"How about yourself?"


"I can barely think about it without breaking down.." Kurt whispered, already tearing up.


Allison kept writing. "Are you doing anything to help deal with this?"


"Taking time off of work. Spending time with my family..It's just..So difficult.."


"I can't even imagine. I'm sorry you have to go through this." Allison said genuinely. "Now, I do want to ask if you'd like to comment on the incident you had this morning with a pushy paparazzo."


"I would..I'm..So sorry to that individual..I just left an interview where I was assured I wouldn't be asked about my father and..I was..I was upset. Hysterical. And to leave to a barrage of even more questions about it..I'd been pushed past my limit.."


"I'm sure he would appreciate this." Allison said. She asked a few more questions before thanking him. She wrote down Kurt's email and promised to send a copy of her article that night.


"Thank you so much.."


"Thank you. I really hope this will help get people off your back." Allison said softly.


"Me too.." He said, standing to hug her.


"I'll talk to you soon."


Kurt nodded, wiping his eyes as she walked away.


"You handled that very well." Blaine said as he hugged Kurt.


"Thank you.."


"You're welcome. Let's go see your dad then we'll grab some dinner."


Kurt nodded lightly. "I love you.."


"I love you too."


Kurt sighed softly as he walked with Blaine.


"Everything okay?" Finn asked.


"Yeah. Last minute interview." Kurt said.


"Burt's getting tired. He wants to see you before we go."


Kurt nodded, walking with his brother.


Blaine sat with Carole. "When are they letting him out?"


"By the end of the week. His incision is healing faster than they thought it would." She smiled.


"That's great!"


"It is." Rachel grinned.


They took turns saying goodnight to Burt before heading to dinner. Kurt was a bit more talkative at dinner when Carole told him when Burt would be out. Towards the end, Kurt's phone buzzed with an email from Allison. Kurt excused himself to go read the email. He carefully ready through the article she had typed up. It was very understanding and explained everything he was going through. He quickly typed back a reply to thank her. He smiled and slipped his phone into his pocket. Maybe he still had some faith in people. He headed back to the table as Blaine was paying. "How is it?"


"Perfect.." Kurt said softly.


Blaine smiled, leaning over for a kiss.


Kurt kissed him softly. "I love you.."


"I love you too."
