Hi Everyone!
Here is the new chapter, I hope you like it. Have a nice weekend!
Blaine woke up completely well rested and happy that morning. It was the first time since months that he could have a night of sleep without worry. It was a very good feeling. He sighed happily and inhaled deeply. That was when the delicious smell hit him.
"Hm, I love pancakes" he muttered.
"That's good because I made enough for a whole army."
Blaine opened his eyes immediately. He was surprised to find Kurt sitting beside him and more surprised when he noticed the tray on his nightstand.
"What…"
"I woke up early and I thought I would surprise you" Kurt shrugged.
"But you should…"
"I'm fine, Blaine" Kurt said. "Besides, you deserve it. For everything you've done for us."
"I do what I have to and… Oh, that smells great."
"And here is your coffee. Just as you like it" Kurt said. He grabbed a mug from the tray and raised it in front of Blaine.
Blaine took it from Kurt and hummed happily after the first sip.
"I could get used to this" he said.
"I promise I'll make you breakfast every single Sunday morning from now on" Kurt smiled. "But I guess that's all I can offer. I have to work, you know."
"Me too" Blaine groaned. "Can't we just stay here forever?"
"Sadly, no" Kurt laughed. "Although I'm done with the shooting, the next one will start soon. I have to get ready for my next role. There's school for Danny and don't forget your company."
"I can ask David or Wes to take it over for a while" Blaine shrugged.
"What about the band?"
"They'll be fine without me."
"You're doing this again."
Blaine sighed and put his mug down to take Kurt's hands into his instead.
"I just don't want to leave you too soon" he said. "You aren't ready to go back to the real life and Danny is doing a lot worse. He needs both of us."
"I think he's doing a lot better than the first time" Kurt said. It was so wrong. It shouldn't have happened to them again. They should have been safe.
"It's too early to say that, you know" Blaine said.
"Yeah, I know" Kurt nodded. Only a few days had passed, there was no guarantee that they would get over it so easily. It could get worse in no time. Danny had been doing fine the first time, right until he had left hospital. Then everything went wrong. Who knew what would happen if they returned to their normal lives?
"Hey, come here" Blaine said gently. He pulled Kurt into his arms, the first time since coming home. It felt so right. And it seemed like Kurt needed it just as much as he did. "We'll be fine. We have each other and we'll get through this, together. But we have to be careful. I don't want to rush things. Screw that project, if you don't feel ready to go back to work, then take a few months off. We'll be fine. We don't need that money anyway."
"You want me to stay home?" Kurt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I want you to be happy" Blaine explained. "And I know very well how hard this period has been for you. I just don't want you to rush things."
"I think we can afford a few more days. Or weeks" Kurt said quietly.
"That sounds great" Blaine smiled.
"I really missed you, Blaine" Kurt said after a while.
"I missed you, too" Blaine said.
"I… I know I should have talked to you about…"
"Hey, stop" Blaine said gently. "We already talked about this. Yes, you made a mistake but it doesn't mean you have to apologize over and over again. I understand why you did it and I'm not angry anymore. We can talk about it if you think it'll help you get over the happenings, but I don't want you to feel bad. You did what you thought was the best."
"Even if I was so wrong" Kurt sighed.
"You wanted to believe him. That's understandable" Blaine shrugged. "I know you, Kurt. You always see the better side of people."
"It's stupid" Kurt grimaced.
"I think it's cute" Blaine smiled. "I love the way you see things."
"I'm not sure I can be that person anymore" Kurt said honestly. "These few months were like hell for all of us. I realized that the world is such a horrible place, a lot worse than I thought. And Danny had to experience it, too. I… I'm not sure I can trust anyone but you anymore."
"So you trust me?" Blaine asked.
"Of course I do" Kurt said without hesitation.
"That's a start" Blaine said as he pulled Kurt close and kissed his forehead. "We'll work on the rest. I'm here and I'll help you."
Kurt closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He had missed this so much.

Only two days later, they couldn't even get to the coffee they always drank in Blaine's room. Kurt knew that they agreed to take slow steps but as he walked into the room with a tray packed with food and drinks and his eyes landed on the half-naked form of Blaine spread across the bed, he almost dropped what he held in his hands.
"Oh, hey" Blaine muttered as he sat up, rubbing his tired eyes, seemingly not aware of the effect he had on Kurt.
"You… I… I mean…"
Yes, Blaine was hot. More than that, he was probably the hottest man of the universe. And Kurt hadn't seen him like this for a very-very long time. He had forgotten how amazing Blaine looked. Or that he couldn't resist touching his smooth skin.
Before he knew what he was doing, Kurt placed the tray onto the nightstand and climbed into the bed beside Blaine. Blaine seemingly didn't mind, or he was just too sleepy to remember their current status. Either way, he didn't make a move to stop Kurt as he knelt onto the bed beside him and gently touched his chest.
"Does it hurt?" Kurt asked as he ran his fingers down the now healing bruise on Blaine's chest.
"It's nothing" Blaine shrugged.
"It looks really bad" Kurt said.
Blaine reached under Kurt's chin and gently lifted his head. Then nothing happened for a second. The two of them kept looking at each other, not moving, not saying a word. But then Blaine slowly moved forward, until his lips touched Kurt's.
Probably none of them expected what happened next. It wasn't planned at all. But as their lips met, the heat became too much to bear. Kurt quickly sneaked his arms around Blaine and climbed into his lap, needing to be as close to the other man as possible. Blaine moaned when Kurt pulled away, only to move his head downwards, to the sensitive spot on Blaine's neck he knew so well.
"God, Kurt" Blaine moaned, closing his eyes.
Kurt grabbed Blaine's hands and pushed him down onto the bed. He quickly got out of his clothes and helped Blaine get rid of his own underwear before grabbing his wrists again. He kept his hold on Blaine's wrists as his lips moved down Blaine's body, kissing and licking on his chest, gently biting his nipples and then finding their way down to their destination. Kurt licked the head of Blaine's cock and was ready to take its entire length into his mouth when a sudden knock on the door interrupted them.
"Guys, you should…"
They jumped away from each other as Danny opened the door and stepped inside. In their haste to cover their naked body, Blaine pushed Kurt behind him but he lost his balance and fell from the bed, moaning in pain.
"Oops" Danny said, quickly looking away. His face was just as red as the others'.
"That door was closed for a reason" Kurt muttered as he stood up with Blaine's help and quickly grabbed his clothes from the ground.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked. Danny wouldn't disturb them without reason. And it had to be a very good one.
"We have a visitor" Danny said, still not looking at them.
"A visitor? But who…"
Kurt got the answer before the question could leave his lips. Because standing behind Danny was no other than his own father.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Kurt shrieked. No, this couldn't be happening. He had made such a good job not to let his father see him like this and he had a very good reason to do so. As Burt Hummel looked at the two of them, Kurt wanted to die. He was pretty sure that his dad would have something to say about their behavior and he would share it with them soon.
"I think you should get dressed and meet us outside" Burt said slowly. "Come on, Danny. Let's make breakfast."
"Okay" Danny said quickly and followed his grandfather out of the room, closing the door behind them.
"We are dead, right?" Blaine asked as he turned to Kurt.
"I guess so" Kurt said.
He buried his face into the pillow, wishing that Ethan had killed him with that bomb. It would have been so much easier than facing his father right now.
~ o ~
Blaine had considered himself lucky so far. Since he hadn't had a proper relationship before Kurt and he was gay, so he was safe of things like teenage pregnancy, he had avoided serious talks with parents so far. He had never thought that he would get to one at this age. He was an adult man, living with another very adult man and having an almost adult son. People at this age didn't get into such trouble, it just wasn't supposed to happen. But here they were, sitting in complete silence in his own living room, waiting for Burt and Danny to finish their conversation and be left alone with his almost father-in-law. He gulped nervously when Danny left, telling them that he had study a lot since he wanted to go back to school as soon as possible. Once the door was shut behind him, Blaine turned to Burt. He knew that he didn't have to say anything, not that it would help them at all. Burt was here for a reason and something told him that it didn't help his mood that he had found his son and Blaine naked in the bedroom earlier that morning.
"So… Uhm… What are you doing here, dad?" Kurt asked to break the awkward silence.
"Is this a real question?" Burt asked back.
"Well…"
"I have to tell you, I'm really disappointed in you" Burt said, looking from one man to the other. "In both of you."
"It was just the heat of the moment…" Kurt started but Burt silenced him with one look.
"I thought you were old enough to control yourself when you knew that you could be interrupted" Burt said.
"I'm sorry" Kurt muttered. He felt like he was 16 again, ashamed and afraid of his father's reactions.
"At least lock that door the next time" Burt said. He rubbed his forehead, taking a few deep breaths. "But that's not what I want to talk about."
"Shit" Blaine whispered. He liked Burt but he knew this tone. He had been through this once and he knew what was coming.
"I agree" Burt said, giving him a pointed look. "As I said, I'm really disappointed in you. We are family. I think I deserved a call about what happened to you."
Oh. That explained everything. Kurt bit his lower lip nervously, trying to come up with a good excuse why they hadn't called his father since that night. He was pretty sure that his dad wouldn't accept that they didn't really talk to anyone since coming home from the hospital and used this time to become a real family again. They should have known that he would find out sooner or later from their friends and he would be pissed off for being left out of such a huge thing. And he was right. Burt was really close to all of them and he cared, a lot. They called each other every two days or so and visited each other as often as possible. Of cours ehe was hurt that he had to learn the news from somebody else.
"I'm so sorry but…"
"Do you have any idea how worried I was?" Burt continued. "First you don't answer my calls. Then I finally reach your friends and they tell me that that lunatic attacked you and almost killed all of you. Then you don't answer my calls again, so I have to find out where the hell you are and come here personally because you forgot to inform your worried family about yourselves. Do you want to cause me another heart attack?"
"Dad, please, calm down…" Kurt started but his father wasn't done.
"You have no idea how worried we were about you. Poor Carole cried through the entire night as I tried to reach you. I had to beg her to stay home because I didn't want her to hear this" Burt said. "So tell me. What did we do wrong? Why do you keep pushing us away?"
Both men looked away. They understood Burt's anger. They had been horrible to him and Carole. First they hadn't let them visit after Danny's disappearance, then Kurt had practically kicked his father out when he had visited, they had barely called them after the break up and they had let them in insecurity and fear for days. There was nothing to say, they couldn't make this better.
"We are sorry, Burt" Blaine said in the end. "I know that you are angry and you have every right to be. We screwed up. I could tell you that we just wanted to be left alone for a while to recover but you are right. We still should have called you to let you know that we were fine."
"You're damn right" Burt nodded.
"I take full responsibility" Blaine continued, never breaking eye contact with the older man. "You are right. We should have informed you. I mean, I should have informed you when I had a chance. Kurt and Danny were in no condition to talk to you, so I should have taken care of this."
"I was so worried about you" Burt said, the anger from his voice gone. Now he simply looked tired.
"I'm so sorry, Dad" Kurt said quietly. "I won't let Blaine take responsibility. I am your son, I should have called you. If you want to blame someone, it's me."
Burt sighed heavily. He wanted to be angry but he loved his family so much, he just couldn't play the bad parent anymore.
"I'm so glad that you are okay" he said in the end.
"So you aren't angry with us anymore?" Kurt asked carefully.
"Of course not" Burt said, shaking his head. "I'm just so relieved. I could have missed you all."
"Oh, Dad" Kurt said as he stood up and walked to his father to hug him. Blaine quickly joined them, too, glad that their big talk with Burt Hummel was over so soon. He loved Burt but he could so scary sometimes, especially when it was about his son.
"Can I come out?" Danny asked as he slowly opened his door.
"Of course" Kurt smiled.
"We are fine" Burt said. "Come here."
"Great. I thought I had to stay in there forever" Danny said as he joined them, taking a seat beside his grandfather. "So how long are you staying, grandpa? I hope you won't go back to Lima too soon. It's good having you around."
Burt smiled and put an arm around the boy.
"You know that I can't leave the shop for too long" Burt said.
"But you have just arrived" Danny said, seemingly disappointed. "You have to stay. We really missed you."
"He's right" Kurt said. "I know it's been only a few weeks since Christmas but we would love having you around for a little while."
"I have a better offer for you" Burt smiled. "Come home with me."
"What?" Blaine and Kurt asked in unison.
"Don't look so surprised, you know that you're always welcome. Besides, I think you need a place to stay while you recover and nobody would disturb you there" Burt said.
Kurt and Blaine looked at each other. It was clear that Danny wanted to go but they had to make the decision after all.
"I think we can leave for a few days…" Blaine started.
"It's not like we had other plans…" Kurt continued.
They turned back to Burt, smiling.
"I guess we're going to Lima" Danny said excitedly.
"Only for a little while" Kurt said. "Until we are ready to go back to work and school."
"Of course" Burt nodded. He understood that his son and his family couldn't stay with him forever but he was glad to help them. He knew very well how hard it was for them, they couldn't even leave the house without hyenas waiting for them outside to get a few photos and come up with some stupid stories that weren't even true most of the time. Yes, they would be much safer in Lima. People there knew not to mess with Burt Hummel.
"I have to pack my bag" Danny said and disappeared in his room.
Kurt shook his head as he watched his son. That was the first time he really look fine. It was definitely a good sign. And if they were right, they would get over that night a lot easier at home where nothing reminded them on Ethan or what he had done to them. That was all Kurt wanted. To be with his loved ones and live without fear again. He had a feeling that a trip to Lima wasn't enough for that but maybe it would help him figure out what else he had to do.
