I don't own Glee or Charmed!
Kurt, Wyatt, and Chris had orbed back to the manor that Sunday as planned, but not before promising Burt and Carole that they would make sure Kurt made it home more often. Burt hadn't been surprised when Kurt informed him that he and Wyatt were dating, and was actually quite happy for the two of them. Kurt found out later that Burt and Carole had talked at length about the two boys interested in his son, and she had helped him to see that a relationship with Wyatt had the potential to be healthier than one with Blaine could have been.
Kurt had tried to train with the Halliwell family, but soon found out just how hard that was, as everyone tried to take it easy on him. It seemed everyone was afraid of hurting him, damaging him further than he'd already been. It was for this reason that he found himself at the gym wanting to take a self defense class that his dad had been more than happy to send him money for. He'd heard from some of the people at school that the teacher here was amazing, and that he should really consider working with her.
For that reason, he had contacted the teacher to see if they were willing to work with him one on one, explaining that he was an amputee, so things would have to be done a bit differently. He didn't come right out and say it, but he wasn't sure she would want to work with him, as he was sure it would been more difficult that she would think it was worth. Instead she had gladly set up a time to meet with him, and see if there was something they could set up.
So he went to the gym where she usually taught, expecting to find an older woman who had been likely teaching for a while, but instead found someone a few years older than himself. "Are you Kurt?" She asked when she saw him walk into the room, and he nodded, "I'm Bianca, tell me a bit about yourself, let me know more about those health problems you were talking about on the phone."
Kurt knew instantly that he liked this no nonsense woman, "Well, I cut my leg, and ended up being septic. As you can see I did recover, but not before the sepsis had done it's damage. I lost my right leg, and it destroyed my kidneys." He explained, knowing he would have to take his kidneys into account, as he knew they couldn't take any more damage to them.
"So avoid kidney shots during training, got it." He was pleased to see that she wasn't going to take it easy on him, and that she wasn't going to press him for answers as to how he'd ended up with his energies. Instead, she showed him how to wrap his hands before fitting him with boxing gloves, and started teaching him the proper fighting techniques.

"Your a quick study." Bianca said as the two of them finished sparing for the day. He had been coming to the gym twice a week for the last month and a half, spending three days learning the craft with his aunt and the Halliwells. It was a hectic schedule, but he loved the challenge, and wasn't willing to let up until he couldn't keep it up.
"I have a great teacher." He smiled at the woman, wiping the sweat from his brow. He had gotten better at throwing punches, but his foot work was clumsy, and he couldn't kick without falling over. That didn't mean he was going to give up, or that Bianca was going to let him give up.
"So, what made you decide you wanted to be a self defense teacher?" It was hard to believe that in the time he'd spent with her, they knew next to nothing about eachother.
"Well, I was raised to be a part of the "family business" so to speak, but my mother never made it sound all that appealing, and urged me to find another path. I wanted to be a cop, but mom died when I was 18, so becoming a cop was out, and self defense instructor was in." He noticed the girl was being purposely vague, but figured he really didn't have the right to call her out on it, since she didn't really try to dig into his past.
"It's great that she was willing to let you find your own path. I know my dad would have loved to have me take over his business, but he and I both realized years ago that would never happen." He was actually glad his dad had married Carole, as he could picture Finn taking over running the garage one day.
"You mean you don't see yourself as a congressman some day?" He alway forgot how little people actually knew about him. Most people in San Fransisco knew his dad was a congressman, and many thought Kurt would follow in his footsteps.
"Actually, my dad was a mechanic before he ran for congress. The only reason he ran was because the Cheerleading coach at my high school was running, and wanted to do away with all the arts programs, just so she could make us cancel our glee club."
"Well, once upon a time Glee had been a safe haven for me, and dad wanted to make sure it continued, so he ran against her. Turns out, a mechanic may have been just what our congress needed." No one had really thought his dad could have made such an impact on congress, but he'd heard rumors that many considered Burt Hummel a force to be reckoned with.
"Must be why he wants you to learn self defense, if people want to get to him, you'd be their first choice." It really had never crossed his mind that his dad could become powerful enough to put him at risk, and while unlikely, he realized not imposible. Not to mention, of his family he would seem life the easiest target, what with his bad leg. Who would think that he had magic, and could fry their asses?
But still, that thought had never crossed his or his dad's minds, "I think it was more about being able to protect myself against bullies." And there it was, the real reason behind his injuries, and judging by the look on Bianca's face, she realized it too.
"Hey, you about ready to go?" He turned toward the doorway to the gym, and saw Chris standing there. The family had been really great when he told them he wanted to hire a self defense teacher. He had been afraid they would be hurt by his decision, but they understood that while they all knew how to fight, someone who knew how to teach how to fight may have been a better option.
They were having a family dinner at Halliwell manor that night, and Chris had offered to orb him there. "Yeah, we're finished here." He told his friend before motioning him over, "Hey, come here, I want you to meet someone." He waited till Chris joined them, before he made the introductions, "Chris, I'd like you to meet Bianca, my self defense instructor, Bianca, this is my friend Chris Halliwell."
"It's...um...it's nice to meet you." He was shocked to see his friend stumbling over his words, normally Chris was so self assured. It was easy to see the flush on his friends face, and almost felt sorry for his friend when Bianca barely acknowledged him.
"Yeah, you too," She barely even looked at him before turning to Kurt, "So, are we still on for Monday?" The had class every Monday and Friday, and he saw no need to change that now, so gave his confirmation.

Chris orbed them away after they left the gym, and took them straight to the manor. "There you are." Wyatt was just coming down the stairs, and stopped when he got to them, and kissed Kurt. "How was your class?"
"It was good, and Chris has a crush on my teacher." Chris instantly started protesting, while Kurt laughed as he saw the blush rise up to his friend's cheeks.
"I think this handsome man has the right of it." Wyatt grinned as he wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and pulled him back against his chest. "You know Chris, I don't think I've ever seen you that particular shade of red."
"Shut up, both of you." Chris tried to hide his embarrassment, but of course his mother would choose that moment to enter the conversation.
"And why are they shutting up." None of them had even seen Piper coming, but all three accepted hugs from her.
Kurt had been touched by how accepting of his and Wyatt's relationship, everyone making him feel like a member of the family. Piper was also his main teacher when it came to potions, while her sisters helped him with writing spells.
"Apparently, Chris has a crush on Kurt's self defense teacher," Wyatt told their mother, as a means to continue teasing his brother. "I get it though, that woman is georgous...if you're into that sort of thing." He covered for himself when Kurt turned and glared at him.
"And, what is this mystery woman's name?" Piper put an to the teasing, directing her attention to Chris, waiting for him to answer.
"Well, her name is Bianca, and...that's really all I know about her." Chris informed his mother, but Kurt was the only one who noticed Piper falter.
"Well, what can you tell me about this Bianca?" Piper turned to him instead, giving him the feeling that what he said was going to be the deciding factor of whether or not she liked the girl.
"I really don't know much about her either, just that she decided to teach self defense instead of going into "the family business"...whatever that is." He wasn't sure what it about what he said, but Piper seemed to relax a bit.
"Well, she sounds nice, you should invite her for dinner some time." He liked that about Piper, she was always trying to feed someone.
"See Chris, you've been single so long, even mom's trying to end your pathetic streak." Kurt had the good sense to duck out of Wyatt's arms before Chris used his powers to send the couch cushion flying from across the room, hitting Wyatt square in the face.
"Alright you two, knock that off before you break something, you're not too old to be grounded you know." Piper glared playfully at her two boys, before turning and heading back into the kitchen.
"So, do you have anything you need to get back to your dorm for anything tonight?" Wyatt asked him once things settled down.
"No, I have a bit of studying to do, but nothing I can't put off till tomorrow." He answered his boyfriend, wondering what the blond had in mind.
"Well, I was thinking we could go catch a movie after dinner if you were interested." In the month and a half that they had been dating the two had always gone out for their dates, as Kurt was afraid of how Wyatt would react to his leg in a more intimate situation. Sure he knew Wyatt knew about it, about his insecurities, and had been so sweet about making sure that he planned dates that wouldn't put Kurt in a situation that would make him uncomfortable, and it made Kurt fall in love with him more and more.
"I'd like that." Besides, there was nothing better, in his opinion, than just spending time with the blond, and if that happens to take place in a dark theater, then more the better.
