Chapter 2.

"Well I guess that's everything" Burt exclaimed.

After an hour of unpacking Kurt's clothes and making his side of Jeff and his room have the Kurt Hummel touch, they were finally done. But ironically, It was more of the Burt Hummel touch, because Kurt had been sat on the windowsill on his side of the room, staring aimlessly out of the window. Jeff had offered to help but Burt had said they were fine but he would appreciate him coming back for Kurt in an hour.

"This room is awesome dude!" Finn grinned, twirling round like a 5 year old in a toyshop. Kurt grunted and continued his window watching. Both Burt and Finn took no notice of this. They knew Kurt was annoyed and would most likely only talk to them when they were leaving. There was a knock on the door and Jeff's head peered into the room.

"Hey this looks great! My side of the room only just got to looking good and that's because I've been stealing things from my friends to make it feel like home instead of a dorm room y'know?" Jeff babbled.

Kurt remembered him talking about a boyfriend and a spark of hope lit in his chest. Maybe they are different here, he thought. Another voice, one that he'd kept down for a good couple of days emerged and pushed its way to the forefront of Kurt's mind. You don't really believe that do you Kurt? It asked. You believe that they're all going to hurt you and they'll leave you and no-one will ever love you isn't that right?

Kurt shook his head, as if a dog would and tried to get rid of the voice by singing under his breath.

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

"WOW" a voice startled Kurt out of his voice-induced panic and back to the dorm room. Kurt looked up and saw Jeff staring at him, jaw open and eyes wide.

"I didn't know you could do that" Jeff exclaimed

"Well you wouldn't, would you, I've never met you so you couldn't know I sing could you?" Kurt snapped.

"You should join the warblers!" Jeff smiled, ignoring Kurt's rudeness.

"No thank-" Kurt began

"He'd love to!" Finn said, cutting firmly across Kurt and stopping any further chance of his brother in law turning down any possible friends before he's even met them.

"Could you give Kurt the details because we really need to go? I've left my shop for so long that I'll be surprised if it's still standing" Burt chuckled. He could see Kurt glaring at him from across the room but he'd be damned if he payed what he payed for the school and Kurt didn't make any attempt for to help himself. If needs be he'd drag Kurt to the warblers himself

"I'd be happy to! Oh this is going to be so much fun!" Jeff squealed. Kurt simply raised an eyebrow behind his back and huffed in rebellion, as right now that's all the great Kurt Hummel had in the form of rebellion. That and a middle finger but he felt that may be a little too much. Maybe later.

"Do you mind if we have a minute Jeff? Sorry we keep throwing you out of your room…" Burt tailed off

"No its cool I understand completely, when I was getting dropped off I didn't want my parents too leave me and if it wasn't for Nick they wouldn't have done" Jeff sighed

"Who's Nick?" Finn asked

"He's in the warblers with me and he's my best friend" Jeff answered over his shoulder as he left the room.

"Now Kurt-" Burt started

"Don't" Kurt interrupted. He got up from the windowsill and walked across the room to hug his father and Finn.

"Don't" He repeated.

They stayed like that for several minutes until Burt pulled away.

"You know where we'll be if you need us?" Burt said looking into his son's eyes. They were Lizzy's eyes. It killed him and helped him everyday that his son had those eyes. It was a reminder of what he had and what he'd lost.

Kurt nodded in response and smiled sadly.

"You better go now before I throw a diva fit" He joked but his face held no hint of humour. Finn ruffled his hair and grinned at him before pulling him for yet another bone-crushing hug. He eventually let go and opened the door behind him. Burt smiled sadly at Kurt and walked out the door with Finn, leaving Kurt alone in his room and his arms around his chest, willing himself not to cry.
