Chap 19

BLAINES POV

I started driving, even though I didn't want to. I did not want him to go home, and I felt so selfish. He had a life back home, family and friends. It was foolish how attached I'd grown to him in one night.

"I hope my car's alright. I mean it hasn't snowed, but it's chilly. Wait! We don't have the key!" "I already called your Dad, Kurt. He's meeting us there." Kurt looked shocked. "Is he going to break my windows to get it?" I chuckled. "I think he would probably have a spare." "Oh, uh, right." He looked away, seeming disappointed.

"You know, it's an awfully long drive. It's a shame you didn't live closer to Dalton, gas must cost you millions."

KURTS POV

He was right, gas was expensive, and I felt horrible for it. I mean, dad got a discount, considering his job, but still. After giving up their honeymoon? I didn't want to spend another penny. Carole and Finn had gone off to Italy shortly after the marriage though. Something about a football scholarship, so the trip was free. I wish they'd come back though, I do miss them. But do I miss them as much as I'd miss Blaine? I don't want to go home tonight.

We pulled in at McKinley and my dad waved a friendly hello. He still seemed a little protective of me with Blaine, but it's understandable.

Blaine got out of the car, "Burt! How have you been?" and they hugged, like old pals! I got out of the car. "Hey kid! Having car trouble, are we?" he slapped my shoulder. "Hey dad, I missed you. Yeah, do you have a spare key?" "No, son, I have three." Blaine chuckled, and I glared at him, but hey, without dad's keys I'd be in much more trouble. I'd have to stay at Dalton another night, alone, with Blaine. And you know, that'd be such a pity…

I held my breath, and Dad opened the door easily, unfortunately.

"Thanks so much Burt! I will definitely remind Kurt to take his keys out of the ignition from now on." Was that disappointment in his eyes? Had he been hoping for the same thing?

"No problem boys. So, Kurt, can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Well, I can spare a few minutes." I chuckled and took his arm, glancing back at Prince Charming.

"I know where you want to be right now."
"What?" Did I speak my thoughts out loud? I didn't think I did!
"I can see it in your eyes, you want to live at Dalton, with the rest of them."
I paused a moment, and then it was like word vomit. "I'm so sorry Dad! You know I love you, and Carole, and Finn but it's just! I want to be closer to my friends, and I know gas money is costing you plenty and I wouldn't want to after all that you've done and I j-"
"Son, I want you happy, and I'll do anything to make that happen."
I was verging on tears.
"I don't deserve you Dad, you're amazing."
And he pulled me into a hug.
"Just, be careful. This Blaine guy is, he's really nice. And I want to trust him..."
"I know, Dad."
We broke apart, and headed back to the confused, but polite, Blaine.
We were both smiling.
"So, Blaine. About that whole Dalton residence, thing?"
