Hi everyone! Thank you so much for all your awesome reviews! You guys are amazing and I love you all!

I'm trying to put these prompts in an order so that they story makes sense and flows so for those who are still waiting for their prompt I will get to it eventually! I'm working through them and promise that I will do them.

Prompted by JMarieAllenPoe who wanted A memory that Burt doesn't know about where Kurt is nervous about kindergarten and his mum finds him putting all his toys in the bin because he's scared no one will like him.

Hope you all enjoy and sorry for any mistakes!


10: Kindergarten nerves

It was lunch time when Kurt and Blaine arrived back at the Hummel home. They came into the house, hand in hand and smiling at each other.

"Hello boys," Carole greeted them as they came into the living room where she was setting up the table for lunch. "You're just in time for lunch."

"Thank you Carole," Blaine thanked her politely and she smiled at him.

"Carole, do you know where dad is?" Kurt asked.

"He was outside but he should be in soon," Carole told him. "Everything okay?"

"Fine," Kurt assured her. "We just wanted to ask him a question."

"Question about what?" Burt asked, coming in from the back door. "Hey guys."

"Hey dad," Kurt beamed. "Blaine and I have a question for you."

Burt looked between the two of them suspiciously. "You can't elope."

Both Kurt and Blaine turned bright red and Blaine began to splutter.

"Dad!" Kurt yelped. "We're not eloping! We wanted to know about my sleepwalking as a kid."

"Oh," Burt breathed. "I still stand by the two of you not eloping though. I want to walk you down the aisle."

Kurt blushed a deep red and squeezed Blaine's hand tightly. "You will dad. One day, but not right now."

"What did you want to know?" Burt asked, taking a seat. Blaine and Kurt quickly took a seat and Carole joined them, eager to hear about Kurt's childhood. She was interested to hear about his sleepwalking too and when it had started.

"Do you remember me sleepwalking when mum was alive?" Kurt asked carefully and Burt frowned.

"You only sleepwalked after she passed," Burt said. His throat tightened a little as he spoke of his late wife and Carole smiled at him gently.

Kurt shook his head. "I didn't think you knew."

"You used to sleepwalk?" Burt asked, frowning.

"Only the once," Kurt explained.


Elizabeth Hummel hummed softly to herself as she began to clean up the kitchen. It was just her and her little baby Kurt tonight as Burt had gone on a fishing trip with a few of his friends. She was just about finished when she hear the tiny patter of her sons footsteps entering the kitchen.

"KK?" Elizabeth asked, frowning as she watched him sleepily carried a few of his toys into the kitchen. Elizabeth watched with a frown as he went to the bin and tipped them in before walking back out. Elizabeth quickly went to the bin and fished out his toys before taking them out to the living room. She put them down and hurried to Kurt's room.

She found him loading up his arms with his toys and began to walk back out of his room again. Elizabeth caught him quickly and gently took the toys from him and put them back in his toys box. Kurt made a noise of protest and stumbled back to the box.

"KK, what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked, crouching down and stopping him. She got a good look at him and gasped. Kurt was asleep, eyes barley open. He was sleep walking. "Time to wake up sweetie."

She gave him a little prod and Kurt swayed before blinking his eyes open. He looked at him mum and yawned loudly, bringing a hand up to rub his eyes tiredly.

"Mum?" Kurt asked, his voice small and full of sleep.

"You were sleepwalking sweetie," Elizabeth explained gently. "You were throwing your toys in the bin."

Kurt pouted and crawled into his mother's lap. "I like my toys."

Kurt yawned again and Elizabeth smoothed his hair. She picked him up and took him back to bed, tucking him in. She cuddled down beside him and he snuggled into her chest. Sleepwalking was common in her family. Her father and grandfather used to do it and for them it was brought on by stress.

"KK, are you worried about anything?" Elizabeth asked and Kurt yawned louder.

"Kinder," he mumbled sleepily. "What if no one likes me?"

"How could they not," Elizabeth soothed him. "You're going to have so much fun."

Kurt mumbled something but he was already falling asleep. Elizabeth smiled and kissed his cheek before slipping off the bed and making sure that he was okay. She headed back down stairs and hummed thoughtfully. She grinned when a sudden idea came to her. She hurried to her bedroom and rummaged through her jewellery box before she found a broach that Kurt always admired when she had it on.


"Mum let me wear it," Kurt continued. "So that I wouldn't feel alone at Kindergarten."

"Is that why you wear broaches?" Blaine asked and Kurt nodded.

"She never mentioned it," Burt said. "Well there you go. I knew it ran in her family though. Go the fright of my life when we stayed at her parents place and her dad started sleepwalking. He through a football at me."

They all burst into laughter. Burt chuckled along with them but his mind was on Kurt and Elizabeth. She would have handed it a lot better than Burt had when he found Kurt in the bath. He remembered though at that time he had come home with a hook in his thigh. He was glad though that Kurt had a good memory of his mother and the thought made him smile.

Carol smile as Kurt told the story and thought about the second time she had seen Kurt sleep walking.
