"Dad.." Kurt moaned.

"What is it Kurt?"

"It's freezing; I don't think these thermal blankets are working."

"There's not exactly an on button Kurt."

"You're probably feeling a bit colder because of the whole vomiting thing." Finn said.

"I always thought getting into bed straight after a shower was meant to help you conserve body heat."

"Perhaps you're coming down with something." Blaine said from the bottom bunk. "You did have that headache the other day."

"All he's suffering from is alcohol poisoning." Burt muttered.

"I'm suffering from the fact that we're on a freaking frozen lake!"

"Kurt! Language, come on that's not like you. Then again nor is throwing up and .. public displays of affection."

"Uhh." Kurt moaned. "How many times do I have to apologize? I didn't realize the drink was going to do that to me. I'm kind of new to this and I've already decided never to drink again. As for the shower, well despite what most people may think I am a teenage boy and I do have a hot boyfriend."

"I already said I shouldn't have let you drink and I already said I remember what it's like to be a teenager. You're Mom's dad once told me he would cut my balls off if he caught me anywhere near your mother. This may surprise you but she was quiet good at shimmying down drainpipes in her day."

"Mom?" Kurt asked sounding surprised.

"Yeah." Burt chuckled lightly. "Though admittedly that was after high school."

"Guess I never got to see that side of her." Kurt muttered sadly.

"Nobody gets to know their parents as teenagers Kurt."

"I guess so."

"Still cold?"

"Freezing."

Burt let out a deep breath.

"Go on then, but no funny business."

"What?"

Burt gave another sigh.

"You and Blaine can double up so you've got the extra blankets. I can't have you catching pneumonia and missing school, not if you want to get in to a good college."

"Thank you Dad." Kurt gushed jumping down from his bunk.

"Is that okay Blaine?" Kurt asked shyly bending over him.

Blaine smiled and shuffled back into the bunk so that his back was up against the wood. Kurt smiled and lied down next to him. Kurt pulled the extra sheets over them and snuggled up into Blaine's arms.

"Warmer?" Blaine whispered.

"Definitely." Kurt agreed.
----------------------------------------------------------

"EVERYBODY UP!"

Kurt groaned and pressed his face into the chest next to him.

"What's happening?"

"It's morning, and we're going out today so get up." Burt replied.

"What time is it?"

"Half seven, now get up."

"I should not have to get up before eleven on a weekend." Finn groaned turning over and starting to snore almost immidatly.

"I didn't know we were going out this morning." Blaine said trying to stretch and narrowly missing hitting

Kurt in the face.

"Hey sleeping here." Kurt joked.

"Oh sorry."

"Yeah, I was thinking it over last night and seeing as we can't do any fishing and you spent all day yesterday ice skating I thought we could all go out for the day."

"That sounds like a great idea Mr. Hummel."

"It's Burt, I'm not going to lynch you for yesterday."

"Did you have any idea where we going to go?"

"Well, I hear there's a spa thingy in the next town over."

"Spa!" Kurt said sitting up and banging his head on the bunk above him.

"Ow!"

"Ouch." Blaine said in sympathy placing his hand over where Kurt had hit his head.

"Are you alright?" He asked

"Yeah, what was that about a spa?"

"Well, it's a sauna. But close enough right.."

"A sauna? They're kind of unhygienic."

"But they are good at cleaning out the pores." Blaine said.

Kurt shrugged.

"I'll bite." Kurt sighed. "It's got to be better than sitting in here all day."

"Good. Get up."

"Uh.. might be a few minutes Dad." Kurt said embarrassed.

"Oh good lord." Burt said turning around and starting to shake Finn. "You boys are going to be the death of me."

"Don't say that." Kurt snapped back.

Burt turned to glance at the expression on Kurt's face, pretending not to notice Blaine's hand stroking down his back.

"Sorry Kurt." Burt said. "FINN! GET UP!"

"What? I knew the hut would sink."

Burt, Blaine and Kurt laughed.

They skipped breakfast, choosing instead to just eat a couple of cereal bars in the car. They closed up the hut making sure that everything that could freeze was covered by blankets and kept away from the ice. They spent twenty minutes in the bathroom block, seventeen minutes of which was spent trying to persuade Kurt to do a shortened version of his skin care routine. Then they go in the car, still drowsy from sleep and drove ten minutes to the little caf� at the entrance to the lake park. Burt got out and came back with four coffees for which the boys were grateful. Then they were back on the road again driving through the mountains and onto the freeway. The nearest town 'hicksville' as Kurt nicknamed it though having never visited was a forty minute drive away.

The first twenty minutes passed in silence as everybody chugged down their coffees. But once more awake there was only one thing that Kurt and Blaine could do, continue writing the song for Kurt's ice spectacular. Finn and Burt kept interrupting with their own ideas, none of them rather serious and some of the slightly rude.

"Here we are." Burt finally said loudly as they passed a small sign for Bertie's mountain sauna. He turned the car and they came up to a large log building. Burt parked and led them in. Kurt was actually quiet impressed with the lush red carpeted room they came into. The receptionist smiled up at them.

"Good morning welcome to Bertie's cabin, have you been here before?"

"No." Burt answered.

"Well we offer private hot tubs and steam rooms and messages but they do have to be booked in advance. As it is we currently have a couple of steam rooms and hot tubs free."

"We wanted a steam room." Burt said.

"Right then." The receptionist said, she tapped at the computer a little, took Burt's credit card then handed them all a little key and gave them instructions to the changing rooms and to their steam room.

"Um.. Dad, the changing room is public."

"Yeah?" Burt said.

"I uh.. I really don't like public changing rooms."

"Kurt, there is nothing wrong with your body and nobodies going to be looking now can you please just…" Burt paused when he saw the upset look on Kurt's face.

"It's not that is it?"

"The guys at school don't let me use the changing room until they've already left."

Burt glanced questioningly over at Blaine.

"Oh, it's the same with me but it's not that big a deal."

"Really Dad it is fine but .. It just made me nervous of changing rooms that's all."

"There's nothing to be nervous of Kurt." Burt assured him.

Kurt's worry proved to be completely unnecessary as when they found the changing rooms it was completely empty. They all glanced down at their little towels finding that they had numbers corresponding to lockers on them. Upon opening their lockers they found fresh fluffy towels and bottles of water and little sachets of moisturizing cream.

"Must keep hydrated." Kurt said happily reaching for the water.

"That's true." Burt replied already pulling his shirt off and folding it up to put in the locker.

Blaine and Kurt gave each other a nervous look. Not so slight problems tended to arise when they were in the same room naked together. Wordlessly turned their backs on each other to get undressed and wrap the towels around their waists.

"This is awkward." Finn muttered at some point.

"Come on, we're all family." Burt laughed.

If Kurt had been able to turn around at that point without getting an eye full of Blaine's ass he may have seen the little smile that graced Blaine's face at being included in that sentiment.

"Is everybody like partially covered? I'd like to turn around now." Kurt said blushing.

"We're all decent." Burt called.

Kurt turned around and tried to hid his blush at seeing his boyfriend's beautiful towel draped body. It was a sight that would never cease to make his heart skip a beat.

"Dad, you've lost weight." Kurt said lightly to try and break the rather inappropriate staring contest he was having with Blaine (they weren't staring into each others eyes that's for sure).

"Thanks for noticing, you and Finn go on. Me and Blaine need to have words."

"Dad no."

"Yes Kurt. Go on now."

"But.."

"No buts, this is happening."

"It's alright Kurt." Blaine said trying to calm his anxious boyfriend.

Finn looked between them confused.

"Come on Kurt I think it's this way.' He said starting to walk out.

Kurt gave the two men he loved one more anxious glance.

"Go easy on him." He begged.

"I will." Burt replied.

Kurt had to jog slightly to catch up with Finn. When Burt heard the door to the room slam shut he turned to face Blaine.

"Sit down."

"Could this not wait till I have pants on?"

Burt clapped his hand onto Blaine shoulder and with a sigh the boy sat down on the bench. Burt joined him.

"You are sleeping with my son."

"Yes sir."

Burt sighed and nervously ran his hand up over his slightly balding head.

"Look, I kind of thought I'd have more time with Kurt, with getting use to this uh.. aspect of him growing up."

Blaine nodded patiently, he could understand that. He could remember how embarrassed Kurt had been about anything sexual when they were at Dalton.

"I know it's wrong to be more protective of him just because he's gay but the way I figure it fathers of girls are more protective of them because teenage boys can be.. complete fucking arses." Burt paused and shook his head when he realized what he said. " And Kurt he throws himself into things so whole heartedly. I just don't want to see him getting hurt."

" I know, but… I don't want to hurt him. I ..I wish I could take on all problems for him so he'd only ever be happy."

"Well, you can't protect people form everything. Look the sex thing, not that I know the dynamics of gay relationship but just because Kurt's not as masculine as you doesn't mean he doesn't get a choice about who does what."

"Uh.. okay, we both decide that but there's no set.. roles, just preferences."

"Right because if he wants to be the ..uh.. the giver or the receiver then he should have the chance to explore that, and uh.. so should you .. you know whatever your both comfortable with."

"I .. totally agree."

"Good. And you know, you always use protection even just with.. oral sex, unless you get tested for STD's"

"I was a virgin before I meet Kurt."

"Right, but.."

"Complete virgin, only a few kisses, to the mouth , before met Kurt."

"Okay then, and uh Lube and preparation.." Burt said with the 'I've got to do this' way of a man who has to jump out of plane because the wings on fire.

"Yes, uh always wouldn't want to cause each other pain."

"Yeah right good."

There was a long tense silence between the two of them. Burt stood up as if to say the conversation was over and they should join his son's but Blaine interrupted him.

"Burt?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm always going to look after him you know."

"I.. I know. I had an idea that you felt that way."
