A/N: Sorry this took me so long to update. I promise it won't usually take that long. I plan on updating this around two times a week. This chapter is really short and so will the next two, but after that I plan on making each chapter at least 2,000 words long. These short chapters are basically just Burt, Blaine, and Kurt's reactions to the news.
Burt had never been the kind of man to cry. The last time he can remember crying was when his late wife had passed away. Other than that Burt just doesn't shed tears.
But god damn it he thought he was going to when he heard his son's diagnosis. Who wouldn't when they heard that their only son was diagnosed with leukemia? Burt just about lost it when he heard the news.
If there is a god he must not like Burt very much.
He wants to completely break down. He wants to scream, yell, kick, and scream at the injustice of it all. Hasn't the kid been through enough? Not only will he have to be fighting bullies, but now cancer too? Seems like a bit much to Burt.
And could the timing be any worse? Just when his kid's genuinely happy and making plans for his future the universe decides to give him more shit to deal with.
It's just so unfair. Burt feels like he's going to break. But he doesn't. Instead he swallows the lump in his throat and puts on a brave face. You can't be broken now, not when Kurt needs him the most. You got to show him that he can fight this thing and that you'll be with him every step of the way.
So he places a reassuring hand on Kurt's shoulder and whispers "We'll fight this buddy" to his son. He's feigning calm and hopes he's convincing Kurt.
Because Burt isn't the kind of man that cries, no matter how much he wants to.
A/N: So then Blaine part will just be a bit longer than this. It'll be up in no less than thirty minutes.
