Kurt held onto his father's hand tight as they walked towards the colourful building where Kurt would be spending his day. "I'm scared daddy." Kurt whispered. "I wish Finn could have come."
"You like Finn?" Burt asked, when he had seen the way his son was curled up with his stepson last night, he'd thought back to the way Kurt used to gush about him. He couldn't help but smile, once Kurt got better, he knew any romantic feelings his son has for the tall teen would vanish, they'd be brothers, truly.
"He's funny." Kurt grinned. "He told me all about school. And said one day if I'm feeling up to it I could go and see my friends. He told me all about them. And he said his girlfriend Rachel was asking about me. And I know I don't remember them but Finn said that Sam would play balloons with me. And I liked playing with the balloons."
"Okay, well we'll see in a few days okay?" Burt smiled. Kurt nodded, he looks at the building and smiled when he sees the small playground. "They have swings, maybe you could play on them later."
Kurt nodded, "Maybe." He whispered. Burt held his hand tighter and smiled when he sees a man walking towards them.
Kurt bit his lip, hiding behind his father even more. "Hey there, you must be Kurt." Kurt nodded slowly, still staying behind his dad. "My name's Sean. We've been waiting for you."
"Finn was making me a cape." Kurt said quietly, reaching up to touch the blue material that was tied around his neck with a glittery 'K' on the back. "Cause he said I was brave and brave boys have to wear capes."
"Well it's amazing." Sean smiled. He shook hands with Burt and led them inside. Kurt kept a tight hold on his father's hand as they are shown into the main room. It's huge, that's all Kurt can think, the colours are a mixture of blues and purples and there's pictures on the wall. Kurt's eyes wander on the different areas of the room, there's a creative area; paints, crayons, sticking activities. Kurt smiled, he tugged at his dad's hand wanting to go and play there.
"In a second kiddo." Burt said softly. Kurt sighed looked around more, there's a games area, with board games and a quiet area full of books and comfortable looking sofas.
"Do you want to go and play Kurt? While me and your dad talk a little?" Kurt nodded and looks at his dad who smiled in agreement. Kurt grinned before rushing down to the creative area. "He's a sweet kid." Sean smiled watching him.
"He really is." Burt whispered watching his son. "What's going to happen here?"
"For Kurt this will be like a school day. In his situation its important that he has routine. We have a handful of students here who are similar to Kurt, though they were born like that. It's mainly free play, with cases like Kurt the education isn't the important thing, it's making him feel comfortable and stable enough for his memory to slowly come back. We have psychologists here, and Kurt will speak to one every day for around an hour. His name is Danny. He'll be here later if you'd like to meet him."
"My stepson is picking Kurt up tonight if that's okay? It was one of the only ways we could persuade him to come."
"Of course." Sean smiled. "He'll be okay here, you can phone any time to talk to him or just to make sure he's okay."
"I'll be phoning every hour then." Burt smiled, only half joking.
"Okay." Sean chuckled.
Kurt sat at the table smiling, he had already drawn two pictures; one of two superheroes, one wearing a blue cape and the other wearing a pink one. It was him and Finn. Kurt liked his blue cape, but he would have liked it more if it was pink. Maybe he could make a pink one and give the blue one to Finn? He looked up as he saw his father walking towards him, he smiled and grabbed the second piece of paper. It was a card for him, full of bright colours and some glitter. He liked glitter.
"Daddy this is for you." He grinned handing it to him.
"I love it kiddo, thank you." Burt smiled, he wrapped an arm around him pulling him into a tight hug. "I have to go now, you're going to be okay. Finn will be here soon to pick you up."
"Okay daddy." Kurt chewed his lip. He knew that his dad had to go, he wished that he didn't but he doesn't want to make him even more late for work.
"I'll see you later." Burt hugged him again and whispered "Love you," in his ear. Kurt grinned saying it back before watching his father leave.
"You okay, Kurt?" Sean asked. Kurt looked up at him, he's tall and has bright blond hair, it's straightened slightly over his face and it looks familiar, he frowns but he can't think of who the hair reminds him of. "Kurt?"
"I like your hair." Kurt smiled. "It looks soft."
"Thanks to a ton of hair product it is." Sean laughed. "You going to answer my question?"
"I forgot what it was." Kurt mumbled.
"That's okay. I asked if you were okay."
"Oh. I'm okay." Kurt smiled. "Are you?" He asked, remembering his manners.
"Yeah, I'm okay. You came early today so you could have a look around before everyone gets here, but they're going to be coming in now, you ready to make some new friends?"
"I..." Kurt chewed on his lip nervously. "I don't have any friends. In school...the one I remember, I just sit on my own and I draw or I read. But Finn says I have lots of friends now. But I don't remember them."
"Well you will remember them." Sean said with such a strong voice that it made Kurt believe him. "And it's nice to make some new friends, we don't know how long you're going to be coming here."
"Okay," Kurt nodded.
Kurt didn't want to make friends with anyone that came in, mainly because none of them took notice of him. Even when Sean introduced them they said hello and then went back to doing what they were doing, one girl went back to eating sand and Kurt definitely didn't want to be her friend. So he stayed with Sean for most of the morning. Kurt liked the adults that worked there, they were nice and made him laugh. One of the women even helped stick more glitter onto his cape.
Just before lunch the door opened and a tall boy with dark curly hair walked in. Kurt watched him closely, he didn't look very happy to be there. He didn't say hello to anyone, he just walked over to the book area, pulled a book from his bag and sat on the sofa. Kurt frowned, and looked up at Sean who was watching him.
"That's Blaine." He said softly. "He's very quiet. He sticks to himself mostly."
"He looks sad." Kurt whispered watching him intently.
Sean nodded, chewing lip. "Do you want to go and say hello? He might not talk to you though."
Kurt nodded and jumped from the chair he was sitting on, he held his head up high as he walked over to Blaine. He only wanted to see if he could make him smile, he didn't like the sad look in his eye.
"Hi." He said softly standing in front of him. Blaine looked up at him slowly. "It's my first day." Kurt said, feeling like he needed to talk. "And I've said hello to everyone else but no one wanted to play. But I don't mind. I thought I'd say hello to you too." Blaine just stared at him, and Kurt looked down, he began to turn away but Blaine moves his bag from the chair next to him and gestured for Kurt to sit with him. Kurt grinned and sat down straight away, tucking his feet under his lap and watching Blaine. Blaine gave him a small nod before turning back to his book. Kurt grinned, at least someone wanted him to sit with them.
