That evening the new couple grabbed some sushi and brought it back to Kurt's apartment, Kurt was determined to get Blaine to tell him what had happened with his parents and he figured that would be easier in a private setting, besides that Blaine hadn't seen Kurt's apartment yet and Kurt wanted to show it off, he was pretty proud of his decorating skills.
"This place is great; I like how you compensated for the lack of walls." Blaine said looking around.
"Thanks." Kurt said smiling.
"Too bad my place is much too small to do something like this in." Blaine remarked.
"But at least you don't have a roommate so the lack of walls isn't that big of a deal." Kurt replied.
"True."
Kurt took their sushi out of the containers and places it on plates and the poured them each a glass of wine, they sat on the couch.
"Ok, I have to tell you about my parents now right?" Blaine asked.
Kurt nodded.
"Alright, so my parents were pretty good parents to me when I was little, very doting. But then when I came out they....they wanted nothing to do with me. They couldn't accept the fact I was gay and tried to straighten me out for the longest time. They thought when I was....oh I haven't told you this yet. Umm... when I was 14 I went to a Sadie Hawkins dance with my friend, he was the only other gay guy at the school and I had just come out. After the dance was over we were waiting for his dad to pick us up and we...we were attacked."
"Oh Blaine." Kurt said softly placing his hand on his boyfriend's arm.
"My parents thought that was a good thing, they hoped if I associated being gay with pain I would decide it wasn't worth it."
"But it doesn't work that way! You can't choose your sexuality." Kurt exclaimed.
"I know but they don't believe that. They would've made me stay at that school but Cooper made them transfer me to Dalton. He told them if they didn't he would tell their friends everything and they didn't want to deal with that embarrassment so they gave in." Blaine stopped and took a drink of his wine.
"After that I hardly saw them, at the time I chalked it up to the fact I was boarding a Dalton but even when I went home on weekends and for holidays it was like they didn't know who I was, until my senior year, when my dad got the idea that I should be a lawyer or an accountant or something else that involved wearing a suit and being 'a man' at first I was just so happy that he was talking me again that I thought about it. I came to close to applying to some pre-law programs but then I realised that would never make me happy. So I told my parents that, I told them that I want to go into music. They told me that was unacceptable, they said if I was going to insist on being gay then I at very least needed to pick a manly career. I told them that I was going to live my life to make myself happy and if they loved me they would support that. I told them that this was no different from Cooper going into acting and if they could support him then they should support me too."
"What did they say?" Kurt asked tentatively.
"They said it was alright for Cooper because he's straight, he's already a man, but if I went through with this, if I pursued music then that would be it for us, I would no longer be their son. They gave me to graduation to decide. I didn't think they meant it you know? They were my parents they had to love me and I figured once I told them that yes, I really wanted to pursue music that they would come around."
"But they didn't." Kurt said softly
"But they didn't. They asked me right before graduation what I had decided and I told them and that was it. They didn't even come to the ceremony and when I went home after all my stuff was packed in boxes on the lawn and the locks were changed. They would even answer the door to me, I could see them sitting right there and they would even open the goddamn door." Blaine eyes filled with tears, even though it had happened a few years ago being disowned by your parents is a kind of pain that never truly goes away.
Kurt didn't know what to say, he didn't think there was anything he could say that would make Blaine feel better so he just held him and let the curly haired man cry.
