Enjoy!

Courage

Blaine was still staring at Kurt, but the porcelain-skinned boy didn't know what to do. He was thinking of what to say and he heard Sam's voice coming from the locker-room; luckily Sam had a special practice that day after school, so there wasn't anyone around to see them in that awkward moment.

"Is there anything going on between you and Sam, Kurt?"

"That's complicated…"

"Complicated…So there is… Karofsky was right…"

"Karofsky? You've been talking to Karofsky?"

"Yes, but, I know who he is and what he has done to you, so I gave you the benefit of the doubt."

"I never meant to cheat on you and we're taking a break; it all happened really fast."

"I guess I've always knew you liked him. I just hoped that I could change that with time."

"And you did. I was starting to forget him, but, he recently came to me and confessed his love and-"

"You thought that would never happen, because he was straight."

"Yes."

"Well, I blame myself a little bit, for not being able to see that I liked you before."

"It's not your fault." The conversation went on for more twenty minutes, before Sam caught up with the two.

"Kurt! Kurt, where are you? I've been waiting fo-Blaine?"

"Hello, Sam."

"I'm sorry; I didn't knew you were talking. You want me to leave you guys alone?"

"No, its okay, I was just leaving… Look, Sam, I really like Kurt and I know that you do too and, if I really like him, I have to let him go. I hope you two to be happy and don't think that this will make me go away; I still want to be your friend."

"Thanks, dude, that's really nice of you…"

"No problem. Kurt, you're an amazing person and you deserve the best and you got it now… I hope you'll be happy." Blaine now had tears in his eyes, and so had Kurt.

"Thank you, Blaine. You're a great boyfriend and if this was another situation, I'd be more than happy to have you forever…"

Blaine hugged Kurt and left, leaving the other boys behind. Kurt started to cry and Sam just held him tightly and comforted him.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. Hey, are you okay, baby?"

"Yes. Thanks for being here with me, Sam."

"That's my pleasure… I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

"I hurt him. I know I did."

"He said it was okay."

"Yes, he did, but that doesn't mean he's okay… He tried to hide what he was feeling to support me; that's what's really killing me. He was…He is amazing and we ended up like this."

"He's really nice. Maybe we can, I don't know, try to hang out with him some time. To show him that we're grateful for what he did. I mean, if it was Finn for example, he would've killed me." Sam kissed Kurt in the forehead.

"Yeah." Kurt whispered.

"You know what? Let's just sit down here until is time to go and you can cry all you want, or talk or don't talk at all; I just want you to feel fine."

After that, they just stood there together until it was time to go home.

It felt so much better now that Blaine knew everything, but they still had to tell Kurt's father, Sam's family and their fellow glee clubbers… They decided to start with glee club, it's always easier, cuz they don't judge you… too much.

"Hell to the No! You guys are what?" Asked a shocked Mercedes. "Since when?" She smiled to herself. She did a great job pretending not to know anything about the new couple. Kurt would be happy.

"Kurt, sit down, let me handle this." Said Sam pulling a chair over to Kurt.

"Guys, let's hear what Sam has to say… You can ask anything later." Mr. Schue tried to calm them down.

"Thanks Mr. Schue. As I said before, Kurt and I are dating. We started dating two weeks ago."

"Kurt, I thought you were dating Blaine." Stated Tina

"I always knew Sam liked boys, I mean, look at his hair…"

"Puckerman!" Shouted Kurt.

"How did that happened?" Asked Quinn pretending not to care.

"Well, be honest, how many of you guys thought we were dating before?" half of the club rose their hands, including Mr. Schue "You see? Feels like everybody knew but us… Even Mr. Schue." Said Sam.

"Kurt, when were you gonna tell me? I'm your brother…"

"Not right now, Finn." Kurt sighed hard.

"Besides, Finn, don't you think it's weird the fact that I used to call Kurt at least seven times a day?" Asked Sam. "Even when it was late?"

"Yeah, I mean, you used to call him all the time before, but it was really weird and every time I asked he would say something about time-zones or whatever… I never understood that."

"Seriously, Finn?" Asked Mercedes while people were giggling and Rachel was patting Finn's shoulders.

"The thing is; we're telling you officially now." Said Sam.

"Fine."

"Okay, guys, sit down; Kurt, Sam, good for you guys, I hope you be happy together. Thanks for telling us first, that shows trust…" Said Mr. Schue.

"Sure, I figured that if I'll probably be dead by the end of the week, I had to tell you guys." Said Sam while grinning and winking to Kurt.

"What you mean dead?" Everybody looked at them.

"I mean, we have to tell Kurt's father and when he finds out that all of this time that I've been sleeping in his house as Kurt's "friend"… Things can get pretty bad." Sam laughed.

"He's right. Burt's gonna kill you two… And I'm gonna help him, because you never told me." Said Finn. "What about your family, Sam? Have you told them?"

"Not yet… I don't know what they're going to say. I'm gonna tell them tonight."

"Okay people, we have work to do, so let's start." Said Mr. Schue.

On the next morning, Sam met Kurt on the hallway; for more painful that it was for Sam to admit, his boyfriend looked terrible. Like, tired terrible.

"Good morning, Kurt." He gave Kurt a quick peck.

"What are you doing? people can see us."

"So what?"

"So what? You don't have a problem with people picking on you?"

"I'm not afraid of them; I can take care of myself. I told you that being with you is the only thing that matters, besides, Karofsky must've already spread the news all over Ohio."

"Oh, I love you more and more with every day. Good morning."

"What's wrong? You look tired. Still beautiful, but tired."

"I couldn't sleep last night."

"Why? Are you nervous?"

"Yes. Did you tell your parents? What they said?"

"Relax, it's fine. They said that's not what they expected for me to tell them, especially my father that just came back from England… They asked for some time to get used to it, but they said they still love me anyway, and can't wait to meet you. Well, my mom can't wait to introduce you to my father, because he's on the getting used to it part yet."

"You're so brave, you know?" Kurt smiled. Smiled widely.

"I wasn't before. Remember how I didn't wanted to join glee club at first because of what people would say about me? But now I realized that I have everything I need, I don't have to be so afraid."

"How did you reacted to your parents' reaction?"

"Oh, I cried like a little girl… And said that they were the best family in the whole world… Then I cried again and finally told them about you." Kurt started to laugh.

"Okay, let's go, we gotta go to class."

"See you later, love." They kissed one more time and went to class.

Things were starting to feel right, they were happy, their friends knew, Sam's family knew, everything was perfect, except for one little problem. Azimio.

Azimio along with other bullies decide that it was time to have a little talk with Sam, so they waited for him to leave the school and then they reached him right when he was leaving the school's parking-lot.

"Hello, lady." Said Azimio.

"Not right now Azimio, I'm not in the mood for your crap right now."

"What's wrong miss? Having problems to decide if you're a girl or not." They started to laugh and make fun of Sam.

"Let me go. I'm warning you. I'm not afraid of any of you."

"Wow, this one is a fighter… We're just talking nicely." Sam pushed him away, but Azimio tried to punch him; luckily, Sam expected that to happen, so he just got away from Azimio's fist. Before they could start anything, coach Sylvester got them.

"Azimio… What are you doing here? Get out of here before I rip off those big eyes of yours and use them to feed my exotic Mexican viper."

"But…"

"Now listen, you're gonna get out of here; I'm gonna close my eyes and when I open them again, I will not be bothered anymore by your ugliness making my eyes tired. Then I'll pretend that this was all one of those wonderful dreams where I hit high school kids with a bat and shoot Will Schuster with a fire-thrower."

"Oh, man, this sucks!"

"Ya think this is hard? Try getting I new car and five seconds later crush into a tree, a department store security guard and then into your old and convalescent grandma, that is hard!" They left and Sam felt relieved. "Are you okay, McCauley?" Sam eyed her.

"Yes. I'm fine, thanks coach Sylvester. Um, actually, I'm Sa-"

"Oh, I'm not trying to learn your nickname. Now get out of here… talking to you teenagers for too long is dangerous for me… It makes me feel less super and more human."

Sam went home and called Kurt.

"Kurt, I'm ready to go talk to your father."

"You sure, Sam? Right now?"

"Yes. We can't procrastinate this anymore, we have to tell him."

"Okay then. I'm gonna get everything ready; you can come. Wait outside when you get here, wait for me to say it's okay."

"Okay."

After fifteen minutes, Kurt got out of the house and motioned for Sam to come in.

"Listen, do it very slowly, give him time to digest all of the information and if we're lucky enough, he won't kill you tonight."

"Fine; don't be so nervous, Kurt, he'll know we're up to something and we don't want that…"

"C'mon, let's do this." Kurt kissed him quickly and the two got in.

When they got in, the first thing Sam saw was Finn sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey Kurt-Sam? Have you told Burt yet?"

"No! And we're trying to do it without getting my boyfriend killed so would you please shut up?"

"Sorry… What you guys gonna do?"

"Well, I think we're just going to tell right away, slowly, but straight to the point."

"Oh. Good luck then."

"Where's Carol?"

"She's not home, but I think she'll be here in a minute." In fact, Carol would arrive three minutes later. "Why you ask?"

"I think it'll be easier, you know, she might protect me… Sam, sit down, you don't have to stay by my side all the time now, he'll notice."

"I don't think she would let him do anything to you… And Sam is safe too; once you tell her how much he means to you, she'll try to get Burt to accept it. Do you think it'll be harder than it was with Blaine?"

"Yes, because-" Carol just arrived. "Good night Carol."

"Hey boys. Sam, how are you?" She was smiling. That was a good thing, Carol was always happy.

"Good night Mrs. Hummel-Hudson. I'm fine, thanks. How are you?"

"Oh, honey, you can call me just Hummel; it's easier than Hummel-Hudson." Finn nodded in agreement. "I'm fine too. Where's Burt?"

"He's in the kitchen." Said Finn.

"Burt, I'm home…" She called from the living room leaving the boys behind. Sam was fidgety.

"So, now's your time K." Said Finn.

"I know. Wish me luck!"

"Oh, I'll do more than that… I'm gonna be there so I can watch the whole thing."

"You like to see me nervous, don't you?"

"Love it! Right Sam?' Said Finn poking Sam in the head.

"Um?" Sam was completely lost.

"Dude, relax… Blaine's alive isn't he? We're just kidding, Burt's not gonna do anything that could get him arrested… At least not in a place where everyone can see your dead body." He started to laugh.

"Finn, stop scaring him! You're making my father look like a serial-killer. He's not that hard Sam, you just have to make him trust you. You'll be fine. I promise."

"Is that too hard? Get him to trust me?" Asked Sam.

"A little bit… Look, he's hard in the beginning, but then he starts to melt and when you realize he'll be hugging you." Finn started to laugh and Kurt gave him a deadly look.

"Kurt's right. Burt's a nice guy once you meet him and I'm sure that when he talk to you he'll like you too. I'm serious, dude."

"Thanks."

"No prob."

"So, what are you guys up to?" Asked Burt coming from the kitchen.

"Dad, where's Carol?"

"In the kitchen. Why?"

"I need to talk to you"

"Carol! Come over here, please!" Burt was now starting to suspect something was wrong. He sat on a chair near him.

"Yes?" Asked Carol.

"Kurt said he has something to tell us."

"Hum. What could it be?"

"I don't know, but I want to find out as well."

"This is gonna be awesome. Wait, Kurt, let me get my camera; I want to capture Sam's expression with every moment." Said Finn, rushing to his room to look for his camera. He was back in less than a minute. "Okay, you can go now."

"Kurt, what is going on?" Asked Burt.

"Okay. Dad, first I wanted to say that you're the best father in the whole world. I just want to thank you for always supporting me no matter what."

"Thank you, but what is going on?"

"Dad. Carol. Blaine and I broke up."

"You broke up? When?" Asked Carol.

"A couple of days ago."

"And you're telling us now?" Burt stood up.

"Yeah, I was kind of trying to find the perfect moment to tell you."

"Hum."

"Winch leads me to the thing I am really trying to tell you."

"Go on, honey." Said Carol comforting him.

"Yeah, go on Kurt. Why do I feel like I'm not gonna like this?" Burt looked at Carol.

"Dad. Carol. You know my-our friend Sam, right?" Sam was sitting in the back of the room, almost hyper-ventilating, trying to relax.

"We do. What about him?"

"We… Are… Um, we're…" Sam stood up and started to talk, only pausing to take deep breaths and then speaking again.

"We're dating, Mr. Hummel. I'm sorry if we did not tell you before, but I had to tell my parents and the glee club and I was really scared that you would kill me because I've been here all this time as your son's friend when in fact I am his boyfriend. I know you may not like this whole situation and that is why I wanted to talk to you. Kurt was not sure of that, but I wanted to, because I really like him." After he was done, he just let out a hard sigh and collapsed onto the couch again."

"Wait, I thought you were straight; Finn told me you dated Quinn once. Is this some kind of joke?" He was standing now and looking directly at Sam.

"Burt, honey, calm down. He's just a boy. Let them explain everything, and then we'll ask anything we want to know. Come on, sit down." Said Carol, trying to calm Burt. He sat down and took a deep breath.

"Look, Sam; I'm not cool with this. Kurt, you know we have rules in this house; we agreed to take this slowly, you can't hide things like that from me."

"I'm not hiding anything. We're telling you now. I just wanted to prepare myself for this… You know, dad, this time is different. I liked Blaine, but this is a whole new thing." Kurt tried to explain himself.

"Burt, I guarantee you, I was there, I saw, Kurt liked Sam since day one and Sam was always there for him, even when they were not dating. Did you know he sent Karofsky to the nurse because he was trying to hit Kurt? He did it and he wasn't even concerned about what people would say." Said Finn trying to help. Burt just shook his head furiously.

"Kurt, you have my entire support. Sam is a wonderful kid and I believe you two will be very happy together. Come here Sam; give me a hug and welcome to our family… You know, I was wondering when you two would get together." She was smiling now.

"Mr. Hummel, I'm really sorry for this. I want to ask you formally. So, Mr. Hummel and Mrs. Hummel, can I date your son?" He was now standing in front of everyone. "I really love Kurt; the funny thing is I knew I was straight, I've always been, and I spent all the time with Kurt, but I never realized I liked him, but when I did, I knew it was something I've never felt before."

Kurt looked at Sam and then back at his father, then looked at Finn and back at his father again; Sam was there looking like a lost puppy.

"Look, I'm not happy about it. I don't have anything against you, Sam, but I don't like being taken by surprise. Kurt, you should have told me. After that, I believe you; I may not be so good with words or with feelings, but I know what is to love and if all of those things Finn said are true, then I know Kurt's fine. You're coming to my house everyday for months and don't expect me to like you right away, because I'll do whatever it takes to protect Kurt."

"I know sir. That's all I want too. I want him to be safe and happy, just like you."

"Okay. You can date, but I have some rules that I would appreciate you to follow." He looked at Kurt and grinned. Kurt felt just a little bit offended. "since you're no longer 'just friends' there's no more staying in the same room, whenever you're sleeping in here, you're sleeping with Finn and I'll make sure he keeps an eye on you two. Second, I don't think you'll do this, but if you ever hurt my son, I have a friend that can take care of you…"

"DAD! Please, you're embarrassing me in front of my boyfriend." Sam started to laugh. "He's not serious Sam…"

"I know. Don't worry Mr. Hummel. I'll make sure that if anyone ever hurts Kurt, I'll take care of them myself."

"Good." He ran off back to the kitchen.

Carol followed him so they could get the dinner ready.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." Said Finn.

"Yes. Everything went fine and now we're free to date without a single worry." Responded Kurt.

"Yeah. I'm so much better now knowing that your father agrees with us."

"Let's eat then, because after this I'm starving." Said Finn getting up.

"Gosh Finn…"

That was one fine night; things were now working just how they planned it and that only made the courage get stronger within their relationship.
