Chapter 17: Opportunities

"Blaine, I think we should tell my parents, about us but are you sure you want this?" Kurt questioned after his friends left.

Blaine nodded and looked into Kurt's eyes than got a sickening feeling.

"Do you?" Blaine asked holding his breathe.

"More than you know," Kurt smiled; he gave Blaine a quick peck on the cheek for a reassurance and grabbed his hand pulling him of the living room couch.

"Kurt, Carole already knows," Blaine almost forgot.

"What?"

"I told her how I felt when your friends were over and I went in the kitchen to help, she knew I wanted to ask something, so I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing, and asked for her help about talking to you, she encouraged it," Blaine explained. Kurt listened and tilted his head.

"That explains why you were gone for a while," Kurt smiled.

"You're not mad?"

"No, only at Finn,"

"You shouldn't have to be, he helped too," Blaine defended Finn.

"I know, but I like torturing him, besides those videos were embarrassing," Kurt exclaimed. Blaine giggled shaking his head.

"Kurt, how many times do I have to tell you I loved those videos?"

"Dad, I have something to tell you," Kurt ignored Blaine on purpose as his dad came into the living room.

"Your friends left?"

"Yeah dad, I was…,"

"Good, Blaine we need to talk," Burt stated clearly. Kurt was shocked and a little taken back but listened.

"Ah…sure,"

"Kurt do you mind leaving us alone?" Burt asked his son. Kurt was now offended, but slowly nodded as Blaine gave him the 'It's Okay' look.

"Sure,"

"Thanks son,"

As soon as Kurt left the room, Blaine felt a little uneasy, but he had to do this.

"Ah…okay, well as you know…, Kurt and I have been very close, and I'm starting to… wait you weren't going to talk about Kurt were you?" Blaine noticed Burt raised an eyebrow and obviously looked confused.

"No," Burt said a little startled at the conversation that he was about to hear.

"Are you and Kurt together?" Burt asked bluntly. Blaine nodded.

"Like not just as friend?"

"No sir, we're more than that, I just told Kurt how I felt about him today, and it's more than just friends," Blaine held his breathe, biting his lip.

"Don't look so nervous son, I knew it was going to happen one day, I just didn't expect it now,"

Blaine didn't answer for a while trying to register the fact Burt called him son.

"Are you ok?"

"Really? So you're…okay with us being together?"

"If it makes my son happy than yes, and I care about you too Blaine, you've been through a lot and your obviously not taking my son for granted, so I can't see why I shouldn't be,"

"Oh, thank you, I don't know what to say…" Blaine admitted.

"Don't think I'm stupid, I know what those kids meant by 'got some', I like to make them think they got away with it,' Burt added. Blaine chuckled and looked away embarrassed.

"Sorry, we got carried away, we only kissed and Kurt looked…,"

"Don't worry about it, just uh… I think we may have to find other sleeping arrangements though," Burt warned. Blaine looked down at his feet uncomfortably.

"Yes sir,"

"However, I still warn you, Kurt may look strong on the outside, but he is just as fragile as you are, so if you hurt him I will…,"

"You can do whatever you wish to me, but I promise that won't happen," Blaine quickly finished. Burt nodded.

"Okay… good, well that's all cleared," Burt rubbed his neck. There was an awkward silent.

"Ah come here," Burt gently pulled Blaine into a hug. Blaine a little stunned eventually gave in.

"You're a good kid, Blaine, I trust you, and I'm glad you told me now, I think I have to give both of you a talking to though um...maybe not just yet,"

"Oh...sure...,What did you want to tell me?" Blaine wasn't sure what Burt meant by talking to.

"Oh…, I'm not sure if this is a good idea to spoil the moment, but well, your father is in town, and I thought you might like to know that I found out…well, that he is headmaster of a school, not far from Lima,"

"Oh…, um thanks,"

"Don't you want to know what school?"

"I'd rather forget about him,"

"Blaine, please I want to help you get information as to why your father would do this to you, but we have to face him sometime, to do that," Blaine shuddered at the thought of his father, but he really would like to give him a piece of his mind, he felt a little stronger with Kurt and his family.

"Would you go with me?"

"I was planning to,"

"Do you mind if I tell Kurt about this? I don't want him to face my father, but I don't want to lie to him either,"

"Of course, however Kurt is stubborn and when he wants something he gets it, so if he wants to go with you, I will try talk him out of it if you'd like, but that would be very difficult, I know, I raised him," Burt chuckled. Blaine laughed along nodding his head.

"I don't mind him going to the school with me; I just don't want my father to touch him,"

"Blaine, I'm going with you and I won't let him touch either of you, okay? Kurt will be great support for you though I know that,"

"Okay, I actually think this might be a good idea, what school is it?"

"Dalton Academy,"

"Dalton?"

"Yeah, your father's name is William Dalton Anderson,"

"Oh…,"
