BACKYARD TEA PARTY
A Little Gleeks Fic

Burt Hummel walked into the living room to find his son sitting on the couch without any music or the TV on. Upon closer inspection, the mechanic realized that his son was frowning while he stared off into space. "Kurt," he asked, placing a hand on his son's shoulder, causing the boy jumped a little under the touch with surprise.
He looked up at him with a weak smile that didn't even begin to reach his eyes. "Oh, hi Daddy. Did you need me?"
Burt sat down next to him and pulled the child onto his lap, placing a soft kiss to his hair. "What's wrong, son?"
"There's no one to have a tea party with. All of my friends are on vacation and Sammy is sick. Mommy would normally play with me, but she's…she's-"
Burt hugged his son tighter, soothing him with soft shhs and pats to back as tears fell down his own cheeks as well. "I know, buddy. I miss her too. It's going to be okay though."
"You promise?" Kurt sniffed, glancing up to him father with wet eyes. The man brushed his tears away and nodded. "I do promise. Now, you said you had no one to have a tea party with. What about with your old man?"
Kurt nodded, with a doe-eyed smile. "You're not old Daddy. You'll really come play with tea with me?"
"I'd be honored."
So that was how, ten minutes later Burt found himself seated outside at Kurt's tea table with pretend tea and very real cupcakes that Kurt and Mercedes had made the day before.
"You're the best Daddy in the whole world," Kurt told his father as he squinted at the tiny pink cup as if he had no idea what to do with it. "I love you so much."
"I love you too, buddy," Burt grinned down at him, a few more tears stinging his eyes. He wiped at his eyes with the back of his hand then reached for a cupcake, when Kurt promptly slapped his hand away.
"Manners Daddy," he reminded him. "You have to ask the host for a cupcake if you'd like one."
"Oh of course, I'm very sorry," he chuckled at the young boy's enthusiasm. "May I please have a cupcake, sir."
"Why, of course, sir," Kurt giggled back, handing his father a cupcake, knowing that he was right about it all being okay.
Ugh… I'm in a slump and not in for much fun, for unsleeping oneself is not easily done. Of course it would be when I'm working on something for one of Jackie's pictures. Here is the link by the way http:/muchacha10 .deviantart. com/gallery/ 29220086#/ d308mhd (remove the spaces of course). I'm still working on the Beatles update for GleekFab and the ones from Onyx too.
I love you all so very dearly! Up next… More Blaine and the Beatles!
