It wasn't until the next morning that a thought occurred to Kurt. Harry had been making their breakfast magically and Kurt suspected he was mostly just using it as an excuse to show off. Because really Kurt didn't need tap dancing toast but Harry was obviously having a good time so Kurt just watched him, loving the way his face lit up as he laughed. Kurt was thinking about his dad who was due to be home early tomorrow and he wondered.

"Harry?" He asked knowing he sounded nervous and hesitant. Harry heard it as well and promptly stopped what he was doing to come and sit down across from Kurt.

"What's up babe?" Harry asked him. Kurt shifted uncomfortably.

"So magic. . .is there anything it can't do?" he asked. Harry looked at him for a long moment before answering.

"Well it can't bring back the dead and umm there are some limitations on what you can transfigure. Like I can make cheese for an omelet but it doesn't have any nutritional value or vitamins. I actually do that for your dad all the time, it tastes just like cheese but doesn't have any fat or cholesterol." Kurt laughed.

"No wonder dad likes it when you make breakfast."

"I think there's probably other stuff too. Honestly you'd do better asking Hermione, she does a lot more with magical theory then I've ever been able to even grasp."

"I was actually wondering about one thing in particular. My dad. . ." He trailed off. He didn't want Harry to feel guilty if he couldn't help but he didn't want to risk having a way to heal his father and not taking it. Harry seemed to understand because he was nodding.

"I've actually been working on that for the last few months. There's a potion that would heal him but it's pretty complicated and takes a long time to brew. I hadn't quite figured out how to tell him about it yet but now that you know I guess I'll just tell him the truth. It should be ready before you leave for school."

Kurt started to cry. He didn't mean to it just happened. His dad was going to be okay. He'd been so scared and almost feeling guilty for falling in love while his dad was dying but his dad was going to be okay. He launched himself at Harry wrapping his arms around him and burying his face in the shorter man's neck.

"Thank you. I love you thank you so much." Harry embraced him and began to rub soothing circles on his back.

"Shhh hey I'm sorry don't cry. I should to have told you sooner." Harry said making soft shh noises as he rubbed Kurt's back and moved to his cheek.

The big reveal for the rest of the family happened the next day as soon as everyone returned home. Somehow it seemed anticlimactic after the way Kurt had learned about it. Harry simply sat them down and pulled out some forms. Instead of the magical night Harry had made for Kurt he turned Finn into a big floppy eared dog. Finn had drooled all over the sofa and coffee table before Harry turned him back. Carole was less surprised than Burt because she had always suspected there was more to Aunt Andromeda.

Burt wanted to know if Harry had been using magic to work on the cars in the shop but Harry told him he hadn't and that was good enough for Burt. He wouldn't have approved of using shortcuts. Harry took him into the garage and unshrunk his keychain. Burt and Kurt were both pretty impressed by the semi sentient car that Harry had been repairing and that was it. No outrage no horror, just acceptance and mild interest. Harry had seemed amazed and grateful but Kurt wasn't even surprised. He'd already known his family loved Harry, he didn't know why Harry himself seemed so shocked by it.

September

Before Kurt knew it September was upon them. He had to be back for classes on the fourteenth and he wasn't looking forward to it. He and Harry still hadn't discussed what that would mean for them as a couple so Kurt wasn't sure what to expect. He was almost scared to breach the subject not wanting to break the spell of his perfect summer love. However the morning of September first came and Kurt was awoken by a sharp tapping on the window in Harry's room. After their weekend together Kurt and Harry had begun to share a bed and so far nobody had mentioned it, much to Kurt's relief because he didn't want to talk about sex with his dad.

Kurt glanced groggily toward it only to see a bird tapping it's beak persistently against the glass. Beside him Harry groaned.

"Shut up you bloody bird I'm coming!" He said, Kurt watched him roll from the bed and to his feet. Harry stretched and Kurt admired the way the muscles on his back flexed and twisted with the movement. Harry was nude and it was all Kurt could do not to jump from the bed and pull him back into it. After a moment Harry reached out and slid open the window. The bird, an owl, swooped in and landed on the frame looking offended at the lack of a better perch. Meanwhile Harry shifted into a drawer and pulled out a small bag. He removed something inside and fed it to the bird. After it had eaten it stuck out its leg and Kurt noticed for the first time that something was tied to it. Harry took the package and patted the owl.

"Thanks," he told it the owl gave him a withering look and a dismissive hoot before flying back out the window. Harry came and sat back on the bed. The package turned out to be a small vial of ruby red liquid with a letter carefully rolled around it. Harry unscrolled the letter and read it carefully before turning with a grin to Kurt. "It's your dad's potion."

They dressed and showered quickly not even allowing themselves to be sidetracked by showering together and were downstairs in time to catch his dad at breakfast. Harry held out the vial.

"Go upstairs and lie down. Drink this, you'll sleep for six hours and when you wake up you'll be cancer free." Burt carefully took the vial from Harry's hand staring at it wide eyed and holding it delicately in his hand.

"Wow are you sure?" Burt asked in wonder. Harry grinned and nodded.

"It's been tested before. This will heal you Burt and the cancer won't come back. Mind you this doesn't mean you can play fast and loose with your health and expect a magical fix. I had to call in several favors to get this potion made for you."

Burt nodded his face solemn.

"Of course Harry thank you, tell me what it cost you I'll do whatever it takes to repay you."

Harry shifted looking uncomfortable. After a moment he looked up into Burt's face and spoke firmly.

"You don't owe me anything. You opened your home to me and let me do the work I love." At the word love his eyes shifted to meet Kurt's "I can never repay you for everything you've done for me Burt."

Burt looked from Harry to Kurt and when Kurt looked at his father he saw the man was misty eyed and smiling.

"Thank you Harry, you're a good man." Burt said "I'm going to go upstairs and tell Carole I'll see you boys later."

As soon as his dad had left the room Kurt leaned over and kissed Harry passionately. When he pulled away several moments later he rested their foreheads together "I Love you."

The next week his dad met with his doctor to be retested before undergoing anymore chemotherapy. As promised Burt was now completely cancer free. To celebrate they threw a huge party. Kurt was especially excited because this was his chance to introduce his friends to Harry. They still hadn't talked about Kurt going to school even though they both knew he was leaving in a week.

Harry agreed to help Kurt setup for the party with magic and it made Kurt realize how much he was going to miss him even more. Kurt was trying to design the perfect decorations, because Harry had told him he could create anything. It was a time consuming task and Kurt knew he was being rather difficult as he had Harry make change after change to the decorations but Harry just smiled. He acted as if there was nothing he'd rather do than spend the afternoon listening to Kurt describe what he wanted.

"No that's too dark can you do a lighter green." Kurt told him. Harry twitched his wand.

"Like this?" He asked making it a bright yellowish green. Kurt shook his head.

"No that's too bright. Think like the color of grass in the shade." Kurt told him trying to think of a metaphor Harry would understand. He'd stared at him blankly when he'd been told the color of the dress in April's Vogue spread and unfortunately Kurt had left his older issues back at his apartment in New York. However Harry smiled and nodded his understanding and with another flick of his wand, it was done.

"Perfect," Kurt breathed "Now we just need 100 exactly like it. Can you do that?"

Kurt glanced at Harry worried that this last request would be too much but Harry just grinned at the chance to prove himself.

"Totally." Harry told him and with another flick of his wand the ornaments were before him.

"That's perfect! Now we just have to hang them I'll go get the tape." Harry laughed and Kurt looked at him in confusion.

"You underestimate me love. Just tell me how you want it to look." Kurt gaped at him for a second before he responded.

"About two feet apart around the edges and then in strings across the ceiling hanging slightly lower." Harry nodded and Kurt looked up to find them perfectly arranged. Harry looked up as well and tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Do you think they look better like this?" He asked flicking his wand and making it so each paper ball was turned to a lantern and little bits of different colored like flickered from within. Kurt gasped.

"It's perfect Harry thank you!" He exclaimed Harry grinned.

"Does that mean I get a kiss?" he asked teasing and Kurt immediately leaned in and began kissing all over his face. Harry laughed before reaching up and catching Kurt's face in his hands. He pulled him closer and kissed him deeply. Kurt sank into the kiss losing himself in the feel of it when the sound of a throat pointedly clearing jolted them apart. Kurt's dad quirked an eyebrow at them but didn't comment instead turning to look at the decorations.

"This place looks great boys. How'd you get the lights to do that?" He asked.

"Magic," Harry told him with a smirk and Burt nodded.

"Very nice. Well I was coming to see if you needed a hand getting things hung up but it looks like you've got things under control." He told them. Kurt nodded.

"Harry's amazing he made everything perfect."

"Well good. I'll go help Carole in the kitchen you guys stay here and wait for people to start showing up."

The party was a whirlwind of people and chatter. Harry met Kurt's roommates Rachel and Santana again. Technically he'd met them the night he and Kurt had started dating but he hadn't actually talked to them just seen them as he dragged Kurt away. Tonight he met them and really talked with them as well as listened to them talk to Kurt about returning to New York the following week and resuming classes. It made Harry nervous. He thought he knew where he stood with Kurt but so far Kurt had not mentioned what would happen when he went back to school.

Despite his nerves Harry enjoyed getting to know Kurt's friends and meeting the other people who lived in Lima. Some he knew because they were customers at the garage and Harry had fixed their cars but most were new to him. Later in the evening Harry saw Blaine slinking in with the other girl Tina at his side. Harry considered asking them to leave but didn't want to upset Kurt so instead he just kept an eye on him to make sure he didn't bother Kurt.

Shortly after Blaine arrived the older set began to filter off. Soon it was only a few adults and all of Kurt's Glee friends remained. Unsurprisingly that's when the singing started. Rachel started it off with a rousing rendition of Breathe by Faith Hill before disappearing with Finn for the rest of the evening. From there Santana and a girl named Quinn sang together some song about being friends. Beside him Kurt was dancing on the spot and watching his friends with bright happy eyes. Unable to help himself Harry leaned over and kissed him. When he pulled back Kurt suddenly looked thoughtful before stepping away from him.

"Wait here." Kurt told him then kissed him again before walking off. Harry shrugged and waited as the girls finished up their song. Just as they did the lights dimmed and Kurt walked over to the microphone in the part of the room they were using as a stage. Harry smiled as Kurt sought him out and flashed him timid smile before he began to speak.

"Okay everyone this is a song for Harry, whom most of you have just met tonight but who has been by my side this whole summer and has made things so much better for me."

Harry listened as the music swelled and soon Kurt's voice joined in.

"At last

My love has come along

My lonely days are over

And life is like a song

Oh yeah yeah

At last

The skies above are blue

My heart was wrapped up in clover

The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to

A dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill to press my cheek to

A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah

You smiled, you smiled

Oh and then the spell was cast

And here we are in heaven

for you are mine...

At Last"

As Kurt drew his song to a close he moved closer and closer to Harry. Harry was waiting for him and met his lips with as kiss as the song concluded. Harry felt a rush of warmth even as he heard Kurt's friends cheer and catcall around them.

After the party concluded and Kurt had bid farewell to his friends for the night he and Harry lay in bed together. Kurt had had a wonderful time seeing everyone but was utterly wiped out after spending the day preparing as well. Beside him he felt Harry roll over to look at him. Kurt looked over at him and was met with Harry's wide green eyes studying him thoughtfully.

"So you go back to school next week. It wasn't really real for me until I heard your friends talking about it." Harry said his voice soft. Kurt nodded.

"Yeah." He replied his heart heavy in his chest.

"So I was thinking I would just apparate up to see you, but I wasn't sure what we would tell your roommates about me being there all the time." Kurt was confused.

"My roommates?" he asked and suddenly Harry looked worried.

"I mean you still do want to see me right? I mean I guess we never talked about it." As Harry spoke his voice got softer and softer as worry worked its way into his expression.

"No Of course I still want to see you!" Kurt exclaimed. "I just don't understand what that has to do with my roommates."

"Well because I'll be popping in all the time even though I'm supposed to be living in Lima working in your dads shop. I mean I could come less often. . ." He trailed off and Kurt frowned knowing Harry had made a good point.

"I'd like to see you as much as possible." Kurt told him softly and Harry's eyes lit up.

"I had another idea. What if I just got a place near your school? I was looking online and there are several places I think could work. So then I thought you could just visit me there but then I wanted to be sure to get one you'd like so I didn't buy one. Plus I also thought maybe if you want you could just live there with me. I mean. . .unless it's too soon." Harry gave Kurt a nervous look and after taking a moment to process through everything that Harry said a salient point stood out to him.

"You're asking me to move in with you?" He asked just to be certain. Harry bit his lip.

"It's too soon isn't it? I'm sorry I just-"

"I'd love to," Kurt cut him off and leaned in to kiss his boyfriend soundly on the lips.

The End

Author's note: I'm so Truly Deeply sorry about how long this took. I swear it didn't feel like a month! I got so caught up with my other stories and life stuff that somehow this fell by the wayside. Plus I spent a long time debating about Kurt's song. I wasn't sure it's what I wanted to go with (mostly because Etta James did it so perfectly). Ultimately though I completely stalled when I tried to pick something different.

I Hope you loved it. I may do an epilogue but I'm not sure.

Thank you all for reading it was all of your great reviews that took this from something I had planned to be no more than a few thousand words to what it is today!

Please review and let me know how you liked the ending
