They had been driving for what felt like many hours, Blaine yawned and kept his eyes on the road as Kurt slept soundly besides him in the passenger seat as earlier in the drive Blaine had insisted he took over driving as Kurt was on edge and anxious. Blaine looked at the glowing numbers of the in-car clock it read 12:00am Blaine had no idea where he was driving to when he took the wheel and the petrol meter was on red as he took a final turn and pulled up outside a very familiar house, a house he hadn't seen in years.

Blaine pulled open his door and stepped out before going over to Kurt's side and opening his door "Kurt, wake up." Blaine coaxed gently undoing Kurt's belt for him as Kurt rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"Where are we?" Kurt asked not fully aware of his surroundings yet.

"Come here." Blaine said helping Kurt out of the car and shutting the door behind him, locking the car for the moment and wrapping his own hoodie around Kurt as the bitterly cold night air caused Kurt to shiver as they walked up to the front door, Blaine knocking as Kurt kept stuck to Blaine's side, trying not to fall asleep again.

Burt grumbled as he got out of bed, wrapping a black dressing gown around himself as he looked over at the clock "Who's knocking at 12:00am?" He asked half to himself and half to Carol who was sat in the bed looking half sleepy and half annoyed at the late night interruption knowing she had to get up early for work.

Burt quickly went down to the front door, opening the door slightly to see who was there, opening it wider when he realized it was his son and Blaine.

________________________________________
"Blaine?" Burt asked surprised never thinking he would see his son's teenage boyfriend again.

"Mr. Hummel" Blaine nodded in his direction as a greeting "May we come in? We kind of have nowhere else to go." Blaine admitted, Kurt waking up a little more to the sound of his dads voice.

"Dad;" Kurt said relived and threw himself into his dads arms, Burt wrapping him up into a tight hug.
"Hey kiddo;" Burt smiled and opened the door wider with one hand keeping his other around Kurt to let Blaine into the house.

Blaine smiled in relief not sure how Burt would react to seeing him "I'm just gonna get the bags." Blaine said before ambling off down the driveway and unlocking the car to retrieve the bags from the boot, re-locking the car before dragging the bags awkwardly back to the front of the house, where Kurt and Burt where no longer standing but the door was left open for him to enter.

Blaine entered placing the bags at the bottom the stairs and closing and locking the door behind him then sheepishly making his way to the front room where he could hear voices and the soft light from the standing lamp leaking out from under the doorway.

"Why don't you head to bed, Kiddo, you look shattered?" Burt suggested as he gently pushed Kurt towards the door.

Kurt didn't have the will or the energy to fight tonight so made his way down the stairs waving his dad and Blaine a quick goodnight as he passed each one in turn and trudged down the stairs to his old room.

"Now, Blaine, want to tell me why you and Kurt are at my door at midnight, especially you. I haven't seen you for years." Burt stated as he crossed his arms over his chest expecting the answers to this rude and unexpected awakening.

"Well, I know this has to be very much unexpected Mr. Hummel-" Blaine was about to continue when Burt raised a hand and paused him.

"Blaine, how many times do I need to tell you to call me Burt before you listen?"

"Burt," Blaine corrected himself "You see about a month or so back, I got a new job working with a small songs production company, the same one where Kurt works. But I didn't know that until I started working and saw his name on the cast list."

Blaine waited to see if Burt had anything to say, but when he stayed silent Blaine continued.

"So Kurt and I started talking again, we became close again, and I realized these feelings I have for him," A smile took over Blaine's face as he spoke about Kurt "They're still here. I still love him." Blaine said making eye contact with Burt for the first time since he started talking.

"But Kurt is with Dave now?" Burt pried.

"And I'm with Sebastian. Well was. Y'see, Kurt came round for dinner once, with Dave. Kurt went to the bathroom, and I followed..."

Burt raised an eyebrow inquisitively.

"To see he was okay, he was really jumpy." Blaine hurried to explain.

"Right..." Was all Burt said.

"Well we talked, we talked about the night I left, we talked about why I never called him when I got back into state, Kurt kind of freaked out and told me how he felt, that he still loved me." Blaine smiled again "And I told him that I still love him too. Then we kissed, I didn't intend for it to happen, it just...well...it just did."

Blaine continued to tell the story to Burt at some point during the story both ended up side by side on the sofa Burt nodding slowly taking everything in as Blaine wrapped up his story.

"And we just drove. No plans. Just us;" Blaine concluded and looked over at Burt.

Burt ran a hand over his face and sighed before placing a heavy hand onto Blaine's shoulder.

"You've really got yourselves into a mess." Burt chuckled a little "Look kid, I understand that you had to move, you were still a kid, and you had to go with your parents. I'm just glad you and Kurt found each other again, 'cause if I'm honest with you, boy, I never liked that Karofsky kid. Stay here as long as you need." Burt smiled standing up, his hand still on Blaine's shoulder "Get some rest, Kid, you're gonna need it to sort out this mess you're in." Burt stated before patting Blaine's shoulder affectionately and walking upstairs.

"Hey, Burt;" Blaine called after him.

Burt turned to Face Blaine having only made it to the bottom of the stairs.

"Thank you." Blaine said.

Burt nodded and made his way back to his bed and back to Carol.

Blaine turned off the lights and left the bags at the bottom of the stairs; they could wait until morning and made his way down to Kurt's old room quietly careful not to wake Kurt.

"What were you talking about?" Kurt asked as he sat on the bed.

"Why are you not asleep?" Blaine asked as he pulled off his top before crawling into bed.

"Couldn't sleep, what were you talking about?"

"He just asked why we were on his doorstep with nowhere to go at 12am."

"And you said?" Kurt asked moving to lie besides Blaine some-what awkwardly.

"Exactly what happened; He's okay with it. We can stay here as long as we need." Blaine stated "You can come closer you know? I don't bite...unless you want me to." Blaine chuckled.

"I know. I know...It has just been a while." Kurt said shuffling closer to Blaine and resting his head on Blaine's chest.

Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt and relaxed finally; exhaustion setting in after the day they had been through.

"I'm sorry everything is so messed up." Blaine whispered quietly to Kurt in case he was already asleep.

Kurt looked up at Blaine the best he could whilst still keeping his head on Blaine's chest "It's not your fault; everything is just a little more difficult now. I trust you. We'll be okay. We'll get through this. Together." Kurt finished leaning up to kiss the underside of Blaine's Jaw before closing his eyes and allowing sleep to overcome him wrapped safely Blaine's arms.

Blaine too drifted to sleep as he forgot about the struggles they would face, at least for the night.
