AN: Some of you wondered if Klaine would be in trouble. I hope this chapter sufficiently answers that. Enjoy and please review.

Chapter 35

After a few minutes the yelling stopped, they heard Finn run upstairs and into his room, shutting the door behind him. A few seconds after, footsteps came up the stairs.

Knocking, Burt opened the door. He walked in and shut it behind him, rubbing the top of his head. "Well, not quite what I expected to come home to. You all right Kurt?"

Kurt nodded. "Yeah. Blaine took care of me."

Burt nodded, pulling out a chair to sit. "I'm glad to hear that. Now about last night, I don't blame you two for the party or the drinking or any of that. I want you to understand that."

The two nodded silently, wondering where this was going.

"But at the same time, I can't ignore that you saw the party happening and didn't call me." He held up his hand to stop Kurt who had opened his mouth to talk. "I know you had your own issue to deal with but the first thing you boys should have done when you got here was call me. When I'm gone, I'm relying on you to be responsible and you didn't do that last night. If something had happened, if someone got sick from too much alcohol or if the kid who broke the window got hurt, we would all be in some serious legal trouble. And since you didn't call an adult, there would have been no one to help had something happened."

Kurt glared at him, not liking where this was going. Blaine just gave Burt a small nod, acknowledging that the smart thing to do would have been to call him.

Sighing Burt continued. "Had you been involved in the planning, you'd be grounded until New Year's like Finn. However, for not calling me last night, Kurt, you aren't allowed visitors until Saturday and you can't go out."

Kurt exploded at that. "What? So you're grounding me because I didn't call you? Because I was in no mind to make a call last night. This isn't fair."

Burt glared. "Lower your voice. I'm talking respectfully to you and I expect the same in return. Understood?" He continued staring down his son until Kurt gave a sullen nod, encouraged to do so by Blaine grabbing his hand and squeezing. "Good. Now, I understand you couldn't call at that point. You should have called as soon as you saw what was going on. Before even looking for your brother, you should have called me. And Blaine, you aren't my kid but you spend a lot of time here and I've come to expect a lot from you. You were in the right mind to call me last night before and after you and Kurt got here. You didn't. So I'm effectively punishing both of you. For the next few days, you won't see each other. I'm not taking your phone or computer like I'm doing Finn so you can still talk but that's it until Saturday. Got it?"

Kurt was pinching his lips together, struggling not to yell at his dad about how unfair this was. Blaine however, was looking contrite, Burt's lecture hitting him hard. "You're right Mr. Hummel. I'm sorry. We really should have called you yesterday." He stood and gave Kurt a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you Saturday babe."

As Kurt listened, he grew angrier. As Blaine approached the door, he spoke. "This is stupid and unfair. You are punishing me for no reason. Finn's the one who threw the party. Why should I be in trouble for that?" Kurt ended up yelling and gesturing wildly.

Burt's face grew angry as he listened to his son. As he was about to respond, Blaine stepped in and grabbed Kurt's hands, forcing Kurt look at him. "Hey. Your dad is being fair. Calm down and think about it. We should have called. If someone had gotten hurt, it'd be partially our fault for not calling. And it won't be so bad. It's barely two days. Now apologize to your dad."

Kurt directed a glare at Blaine, Blaine meeting his glare with an intense stare of his own. The two shared a conversation with their eyes as Burt watched before Kurt sighed and turned to face him. "I'm sorry dad. We should have called. We'll be sure to do that in the future."

Burt gave the two a look, taking in the way Blaine was still holding onto Kurt's hands and adding it to what he had just seen. Deciding he didn't want to think about it, he nodded. "I'll give you two a few minutes before Blaine needs to leave. He can come back on Saturday."

Burt left the room and shut the door behind him, deciding to go watch some Deadliest Catch and pretend he didn't know anything about what was going on with his son and his boyfriend. Kurt didn't seem to mind so it wasn't Burt's business.

AN: So yeah. Klaine will be separated. Oh no! But never fear, I have fluff already written for when they reunite.
