“Is this where I went to school?” Kurt asked looking up at the large building as he sat with his dad in his truck. He saw people rushing in and out, some on their own, others in small groups. Some of them wore big red jackets with a big M, Kurt frowned, he didn't like it. They looked wrong, made him feel scared. He pulled his knees up to his chest.
“Do you remember it?” Burt asked softly.
“No.” Kurt frowned. “Can we go in and find Finn?”
“I don't think that would be such a good idea,” Burt whispered. “He's in a lesson.”
“I could wait outside? I'll be good. I won't go jumping in and going boo!” He giggled. “And Finn tells me that he spends most of his lessons sleeping so really I wouldn't be interrupting that much.” Kurt said bouncing in his chair excitedly. “And Mercedes will be in there! And I said I would see her soon. And it's been soon...”
“Okay.” Burt sighed, if anything he just wanted Kurt to stop talking, It was cute and he loved this happy version of his son, but there was only so much he could take. It reminded him of when sixteen year old version of his son would talk endlessly about a single cardigan and how amazing the material was, and why he needed to have it. He wouldn't give in until Burt was reaching into his pocket and giving him far too much money for a cardigan. He felt a little like he was handing over money to his son as he opened the door of his truck. “You keep right next to me, okay?”
“Yes daddy!” Kurt grins and jumps out.
“Guys! Come on, we're not going to win nationals if we're running on a low battery!” Will sighed as he tried to motivate the glee kids.
“Sorry,” Finn sighed, running his hand through his hair. He knew he was the main problem why Glee wasn't running on full; he was too distracted by Kurt. It was weird without him there, something he had never noticed before.
“It's okay,” Will said, knowing he shouldn't be too hard on them, after all they had lost one of their own. “Lets take it from the top okay?” They all nodded and the music started again and they tried to perform with a little more energy.
“Daddy, can you hear that?” Kurt grinned. “Music. Is Finn in his glee club now? Can we go and watch? Please oh please!”
“Come on.” Burt smiled, “Just for a few minutes and if your teacher says we have to go then we have to go, okay?”
“Okay daddy.” Kurt grinned and followed his father to the direction of the auditorium. When they got there Kurt giggled and looked through the door, watching as Finn danced. He'd told him that he was bad, but Kurt didn't think he could have been that bad.
Finn looked up and grinned when he saw Kurt at the door, he stopped dancing and rushed over and opened it. “What are you doing here?” He grinned.
“I wanted to come and pick you up.” Kurt grinned. “Did we interrupt?” Kurt asked cutely once the music stopped. He turned and looked over at everyone, feeling a little scared when he saw everyone staring at him. “Finn...why they staring at me?” He whispered and took his brother's hand in his.
“Because they haven't seen you in a long time.” Finn whispered. “Want to say hello?” Kurt shook his head and looked around Finn and when he saw Mercedes he waved cutely.
“Kurt.” She grinned, walking over and wrapping her arms around him. “What are you doing here?”
“I hit my head playing with Blaine so daddy had to come and get me.” Kurt said.
“Wait you hurt yourself? Are you okay?” Finn asked panicking, he looked at Burt.
“Calm down kid, it was just a little bump when he fell of that kids shoulders. He's fine, wouldn't quit nagging till I brought him here.” Burt smiled rubbing Finn's shoulders. “Sorry for interrupting.” He said looking over at Will.
“It's no problem.” Will smiled and walked over. “Hey there Kurt, you don't remember me but I'm your Spanish teacher, my name's Will.” He holds his hand out in front of Kurt. Kurt tilted his head and shakes it.
“Hello.” Kurt whispered shyly. “It's nice to meet you.” he said and hid back behind Finn. “Can I stay and watch the rest of your practice?” he asked shyly. “I'll be good. And I'll be quiet. And I won't laugh at Finn's dancing.”
“Course you can.” He smiles. “It'll be an honour to have you back.” Will led Kurt and Burt to sit down and Kurt grinned at Finn cutely.
Later on the way back to the truck, Kurt said giggling “you know when you told me you couldn't dance.” He was swinging on his hand as they walked through the parking lot.
“Yeah?” Finn sighed, for half an hour Kurt had just laughed at his dancing, which made everyone join in, even Burt was trying to hold a giggle back.
“Well you didn't lie.” He grinned. “Did you know that Blaine is coming over to our house tomorrow?”
“He is?” Finn smiled, looking over at Burt who shrugged. “Well that's cool, what are you going to do?”
“We're going to have a royal tea party,” Kurt grinned. “Can Mercedes come too?”
“I'll ask her.” Finn smiled rubbing his back softly. “Lets get you home now, I'm starving.”
“You're always starving.” Kurt giggled jumping in the back and putting his seat belt on. Finn mumbled something from the front seat about not always being hungry and closed the door.
Kurt looked out the window, a smile on his lips watching the school as his father drove them away. His smile faltered when he saw someone watching from the football field, he gulped and closed his eyes. He looked horrible and scary and made his heart beat faster. Kurt blinked his eyes open and bit his lip when he saw him still standing there watching the car drive away. Kurt rubbed his head, who was that? And why was he so scared of him?
