Coming Out

Blaine's father had never expressed his views on homosexuality. Never gave bad looks to a gay couple, but also never said he was okay with it. And that scared Blaine, his father could be perfectly okay with it, but then again…

"Dad" Blaine said, a little too quickly and a little too high-pitched for it to be a normal greeting. His father quickly looked up from his book, smile already in place,

"Blaine? What's wrong?" he asked, smile dropping instantly as he took in his son's expression.

"I…I need to talk to you." He said quickly "and…just…don't get mad, please." His father nodded "I…I've been thinking…for a long time, and I've came to a pretty big realization. I'm not sure how you'll take it…but I am absolutely positive of this, and I'm not going to change." He took a breath "Dad, I'm gay." His father scrutinized him for a moment, and the silence was suffocating.

"Dad?" Blaine choked out, his father stood up silently and drew his arms around his son.

"You looked so nervous, Blaine." He noted, rubbing circles along Blaine's back as the boy clung to him. "Why was that? You should know by now, son, I'm incredibly proud of you, everything you do amazes me, you're brilliant and talented and kind, you're everything I had ever hoped for in a son and so much more…and you think that I'd let something as trivial as you liking boys get in the way of that?" Despite himself, Blaine let out a small sob along with a gust of air. His father laughed

"It's alright, Blainey," he said, using his childhood nickname "No matter what happens, I'll be here for you." And Blaine knew that it was going to be hard, these things are rarely easy, but knowing that he had at least one person in his life that wouldn't desert him, he knew he'd make it.

"Thanks, Dad."

(AUTHORS NOTE: suuper short, but I just want Blaine's dad to be like a Burt, because honestly, I think Blaine deserves that.)
