Chapter 6

Carole was waiting for them once they got to the hospital.

"There's nothing to worry about now." Carole said. "It was a miracle. He's completely healthy; it's as if he never had a heart attack." Kurt and Finn looked at each other. They knew why that was. The deal was set right again. "The doctor wants to keep him here for a few days just in case though. He's been asking for you, Kurt."

Kurt hurried to his father's side, while Finn stayed behind, along with Carole to give Kurt some time his father.

"Hey dad."

"Kurt." His dad smiled. Kurt couldn't help it as tears sprang from his eyes. He flung himself on his father. "Oh dad!" I was so worried." He cried, as he buried his face in Burt's shoulder. Burt rubbed his back.

"I'm fine, son. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."

"I know." Kurt whispered. They stayed like that for a few moments. "How do you feel?"

"Never better." Burt said. Kurt sighed in relief.

"So, what have you been doing for the last couple of days?" Burt asked.

Kurt got and sat next to his father. He so badly wanted to tell him about Sam and Dean. He lied about so much to his father already. He didn't want his newfound relations to be something he kept from him as well. So instead asked, "Did you know Mom had a sister?"

Burt frowned, and scratched his chin. "She mentioned she had one, before she was adopted. She didn't talk about her biological family much, though. Why?"

Kurt shrugged. "No reason. I was just doing some research on her. I know so little about her."

His father squeezed his hand. "You know Kurt, if something ever happened to me; Carole agreed to look after you. So you don't have to worry…"

"Dad. Nothing's going to happen to you."

Burt frowned. "Kurt, I can't promise that…"

"Of course you can, dad. Nothing will happen to you." His father looked at him sadly, but didn't say anything else.

Kurt snuggled close to his father. Nothing will happen to his dad. He trusted in that. But what would happen him? When Aamon grabbed him, it was like he was trying to take something out of him. He didn't understand and that frightened him. He wished he could tell his father, but this a sure thing to get him locked up in the loony bin.

What was going to happen to him? For the first time since making his deal, he forced himself to face the reality of his future. He was going to Hell and he was scared.

"So Kurt," His father's voice broke him out his thoughts. "You didn't go get yourself a boyfriend while I was out, did you?" His voice was teasing.

"Dad!" He playfully slapped his arm.

Burt's face grew serious. "You can tell me anything, you that don't you?" His voice was a little pleading.

No he couldn't, Kurt thought. There were things he couldn't tell his father, no matter how much he needed to.

The doctors wanted to keep Burt under observation for another night, just in case. Carole told Kurt and Finn to go home. She could stay another night with Burt.

Dean and Sam were waiting for them they got home. Finn greeted them, and rushed to living room to watch TV. "He's completely healthy. That guy, Crowley, he came through." Kurt told them.

"That's good." Dean said. But he had an uneasy look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't trust demons on principle. Crowley, first of all, is supposed to be dead. And second, he helped us, but he knows something. And one day he's going to come and collect. That's how he works."

Kurt told them what happened with Aamon, about the sensation he felt when the demon grabbed him.

Dean frowned. "There's actually something we wanted to talk to you about. You're in danger, Kurt. We can't stay here for long, so we want you to come with us. So we can keep you safe, until we can figure what these demons want from you."

"You want to take him away?" Finn was standing behind them, with an expression mixed with concern and anger.

"We just want to protect him." Dean tried to appease Finn.

"I appreciate the offer, really, but I just want to spend the time I have left with my dad. Besides, I know how to defend myself." Kurt said.

"We thought you might say that." Sam said. "So we took some precautions." He lifted up the carpet under the doormat. They had painted a devil's trap. "There was several more of these around the house. There's one by every entrance. There's a few in your room. No demon ever is coming into this house."

"Thanks guys." Kurt said a small smile on his lips. He just had to convince Carole to let him do all the cleaning from now on. He's going to seem like the weirdest kid ever. But he was grateful. The extra protection gave him some comfort.

"This is great." Finn agreed.

"I'm glad you like it. Look, Kurt, and you too Finn. We want you two to have normal lives, but that's not likely to happen. So you need to be prepared."

"Yeah, we get it." Kurt said.

"Good. Then that's all we can do for you to protect you, then." Sam said.

"Yeah, I'm allowed back in the school now." Dean said. The door opened, and Sue walked in, with Becky trailing behind her.

"That's another thing." Dean said. "Keep the doors locked. It goes a long way to keep unsavory characters out." Sue glared at him, then turned to Kurt. "Everything alright there, Kurt?" Kurt nodded.

"I didn't want you two alone with him." She told Dean.

"He's my cousin. Who the hell are you? The coach of the team he quit? Now we don't know how much longer staying here-"

The suddenly heard a whoosh behind them. "Who the hell are you?" Sue asked as Dean muttered, "And there's our cue to leave."

"I'm an angel of the Lord."

"Right, and I'm god."

"No you're not."

"Just believe him sister." Dean said. "This is Castiel. He really is an angel." He told Kurt and Finn.

"What are you doing here, Cas?" Dean asked.

"We still need to find Eve. Billions of lives are at stake." Castiel said, staring intently at Kurt. Kurt grew a little uncomfortable.

"Well excuse us. We had a family problem we had to take care of. And on that, Crowley is still alive. You want explain that?"

Confusion flooded the angel's face. "Crowley's alive? He must have gotten away somehow. Never mind that now; we can deal with him later. We have to leave."

"Just a minute. I want to say something to my cousin." Dean said. The angel looked at him impatiently.

"Kurt," Dean began, as he led him from the group. "I know you said that you don't want us to, but me and Sam, we're gonna find a way to get you out of that deal. And if you still don't want to take that way out when we do, then it's your choice. In the meantime," Dean handed him a plastic card. "Fake ID." Dean said at Kurt's questioning look.

"You go out and have some fun, god knows you deserve it. You probably don't realize how many people you've saved."

Dean smiled. "There's nice little gay bar in town. You go there and find a nice, good-looking guy, or whatever you gay dudes like, and get laid. Because hell or not, no way am I letting you die a virgin."

Kurt's face flushed as he sputtered. "I-I'm not, I mean-"

"You can't fool me Kurt." Dean laughed. His smile fell. "I'm going to do everything I can to find a way to save you whether you want it or not. But if I can't or if something happens…I've been to hell. The next year and a half you got left, you live. You do the things you never thought you wanted to do, you understand?" Kurt nodded.

"Good." Dean pulled Kurt close. "You watch yourself, okay?" He gave Kurt one last pat, and let him go.

"Come on." He told Castiel and Sam. Sam pulled Kurt into a hug, and clapped Finn's should and followed after Dean and Castiel.

"You want to tell me why you were staring at my cousin like he had two heads?" Dean asked Castiel.

"He's your cousin, you say?"

"Yeah."

"Are you aware then, that he's not fully human?"

"What? What do you mean? He looked fully human to me."

"Dean, Kurt's part angel."
