Chapter 24
Kurt sighed as he sat down with his dad. Blaine had been acting funny on the ride home and Kurt was sad that he wasn't coming home with them to watch a movie. Burt seemed to have picked up on Blaine's strange mood and spoke to him in private and Kurt was desperate to know what was said but every time he had asked his dad just shrugged it off.
"So, what shall we watch?" Burt asked.
"Huh?" Kurt asked, shaking his head.
"What's going on in that head of yours Kurt?" Burt said softly. Kurt sighed and looked down. "You're thinking about Blaine?"
"I just...If i did something wrong. I want to know what i did."
"You listen to me." Burt said, his voice strong, as he reached over and took Kurt's face in his hands. "You haven't done anything wrong, i promise you that. Blaine just has to think over some things."
"Like what?" Kurt asked, leaning against his father's strong hands.
"He's...I don't know what's going on with his head right now either, but i know he is working through some stuff."
"Because of me?" Kurt asked looking down, only meeting his father's eyes when his father tilted his chin up to make him look.
"Because of how close he has gotten to you." Burt said gently. Kurt frowned, he really didn't understand and the idea that Blaine was going through something because of him made his head and his heart hurt. He didn't want Blaine to be upset about anything, he wanted Blaine to be there with him and for him to be okay. He missed him already. "I think you should wait for him to tell you what is going on."
"Is it bad?" Kurt asked, chewing his lip.
"No." Burt smiled and pulled away from Kurt slightly. "Shall we watch the movie now?"
"Sure." Kurt said, "You pick." Kurt knew he would regret letting his dad make the choice, all Burt liked to watch was sport films or cowboys but Kurt just needed something to shut his mind off too.
Burt got up and looked through their small film collection and Kurt rolled his eyes when he saw a boy playing baseball on the cover. "Dad, can i ask you something?"
"If it's about Blaine and what's going..."
"It's not." Kurt said quickly. "Well I mean it's about Blaine, but not about what's going on."
"Okay." Burt nodded, he put the DVD on and left it on the menu screen waiting for his son to talk. "Kurt?" Burt pressed when his son was silently chewing on his lip.
"Why do you like Blaine so much? I...I would have thought that a teacher hanging around a student as much as he does, I wouldn't think a dad would approve."
Burt nodded slowly, he understood what Kurt was talking about and he couldn't believe how much alike Kurt and Blaine's thoughts were right now. "At first when i came and saw you at the hospital, and i was told that a teacher was with you and when i saw him over your bed like he was, it freaked me out. But then i saw you...and i realised what an idiot I've been. When he spoke i could hear how much he cared about you, everything he's been doing for you...He's never once shown that he could or ever would hurt you. You needed someone in your life and I wasn't there for you, but you had someone who was and I think Blaine is a great man." Burt smiled, he could tell his son was thinking about it and he was glad that he had at least stopped chewing his lip. "Whatever is going on with you two, I want you to know that if you're happy then I am happy."
"What do you mean, whatever's going on between us?" Kurt frowned.
"You know, whatever." Burt shrugged, his cheeks showing how uncomfortable he was getting with the conversation, just like Kurt's.
"We're just friends." Kurt sighed, he could hear himself and how unhappy he sounded saying that.
"Well like I said, whatever it is, I'm happy." Burt said softly and pressed play on the DVD, telling Kurt that the conversation was now over.
Kurt fell on his bed and held the packet of tablets in his hand, the voice was screaming in his head making him wish that he had painkillers in his hands instead. He opened the pack and took one, it tasted bitter and he downed his glass of water to make the feeling of it stuck in his throat go away. Sighing he leaned back on his bed and grabbed his phone from the side deciding he would play some games until he fell asleep. He frowned when he saw a couple of text messages on there. They were all from Blaine.
'Sorry i didn't come and watch the movies with you, hope you and your dad have a nice time :)'
'How did the movies go?'
'You're not replying...Are you mad at me?'
'Kurt.'
Kurt chuckled as he read them, he sucked his lip as he tried to think of something witty to reply but instead he pressed the call button and waited for Blaine to answer.
"I thought you were ignoring me." Blaine said once he answered.
"I didn't have my phone on me." Kurt chuckled. "Why would i be ignoring you?"
"Because i bailed." Blaine sighed, and Kurt thought that he could actually hear him pouting.
"No, my dad said you had things you had to work out." Kurt said, picking at his blanket.
"Yeah," Blaine mumbled quietly.
"Did you work them out?" Kurt asked, he hated how weird and quiet Blaine sounded.
"I think so." Blaine said and Kurt was glad of that. "Tomorrow, i'll come over?"
"Sounds great, you can bring the cookies."
"And the homework." Blaine giggled.
"Well I'm glad you have your sense of humour back." Kurt said dryly, but a smile on his face.
"I know right." Blaine chuckled. "So, you going to bed?"
"Yep." Kurt yawned.
"Did you take them..."
"Yeah. They taste funny."
"But they'll be good for you." Blaine assured him.
"I know." Kurt sighed.
The two stayed silent on the phone for a while just listening to each other's breathing before Kurt yawned again. "Go to sleep, Kurt."
"Kay." Kurt sighed, curling up on his bed. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Normal time." Blaine said softly. "Goodnight, Kurt."
"Night Blaine." Kurt breathed before ending the call and closing his eyes, falling into an uneasy sleep.
