It was the day before Thanksgiving and Kurt had been home in Ohio for a few days already. Even though he was happy to be back with his family, Burt couldn't but help noticing that his son was a bit reserved when talking about New York. Usually his son would be over the moon with joy talking about everything he had been doing in the city, and now, though it was still animated, it lacked the previous passion and intensity. So finally, Burt had enough of it and decided to confront Kurt bout it.

"So, son," he started sitting down next to Kurt on the sofa, "want to tell me what's wrong?"

Kurt tensed and looked at him warily. "What do you mean? Everything's fine."

"Really? Could have fooled me." Burt wasn't going to let it go so easily. "Kurt, you haven't said much about New York, Heck, you talk more about it on the phone! Something's up, and I have my suspicions that it has to do with that guy you flew home with, Blaine."

"Dad! There's nothing going on with me and Blaine. Everything's fine, just drop it!." Kurt snapped.

"Son, you know I'm here for you. Something happened, want to tell me about it? You know you'll end up telling me sooner or later," he teased.

Suddenly Kurt couldn't hold it inside and launched into his story, telling his father everything from the beginning, and hiding his face in his hands. Burt listened, and occasionally squeezed his shoulder as a comforting gesture. So Kurt told him everything, since meeting Blaine, and the development of their friendship. How Blaine seemed to want more, but he just couldn't.

"I mean, Blaine is always so affectionate. I can see he cares about me. B-but I Ju-ust can't, D-dad!" Now he was full on sobbing. "Everytime I think about maybe starting a relationship with Blaine, my mind goes back to Chandler. I haven't been able to date since then, even blind dates make me nervous."

Burt had a suspicion about this. "Son, do you like Blaine?"

"Yeah, he is my best friend. I feel so relaxed with him." Kurt wiped his tears. "I trust him, I know he would never pull a stunt like HE did, but my subconcious don't seem to get it. What should I do?"

Burt sighed. Even though his son was a grown man, independent, when he came to him like this, it still remembered him of the little boy he had raised. Everytime Kurt would come to him asking for advice, would warm his heart a little. It pleased him to know that he was still his son's rock, and that his son could come to him for anything.

"Son, I can't tell you what to do. Just do what feels right. But remember, Blaine is not Chandler. Heck, I've just me him and even I know how much he cares for you. Is plain our day in his face. I know you got your heart-broken before. And I know there's a chance that it may happen again, no relationships are drama-free. The real question is, are you willing to take a chance, build a futute and be happy with him, knowing that there is this risk, or are you going to dwell in the memories of your first relationship and let it rule your life?" Burt stood up, "Think about it, Kurt. I was heartbroken after your mom died. But I found happiness again with Carole. There's always a second chance son, you just have to pursue it."

Kurt seemed to be lost in an internal dialogue. His father's words hit home. Why shouldn't he allowed to be happy, someone who was a jerk to him years ago shouldn't be interfering with his life now. Realization hit him, he shouldn't cling to the past, he had to move on, and build new memories with someone who he really cared about - with Blaine.

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you for everything." Burt smiled down at his son and left the room leaving Kurt to his own thoughts.

It was Thanksgiving. Blaine had gotten up rather early and had spent the time trading texts with Kurt. The two men had wished each other Happy Thanksgiving with rather sweet texts just moments before.

To: Kurt Hummel

Hey Kurt! Just wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and tell you how grateful I am to know you and how thankful I am for having you in my life. Thank you for trusting me and for opening up to me. xoxo -B

From: Kurt Hummel

Hey B! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Having you as a friend is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Thank you for listening and thank you for understanding. xo -K

"Blaaaaaaaaainers!" Came a booming voice through the Anderson household. Blaine was in his room texting with Kurt when he heard his brother's voice. Before he could blink his door was thrown open and in came Cooper, his older brother, that even though they lived in opposite sides of the country, hadn't seen each other in months, he was still Blaine's rock.

"Coop! I missed you!" Blaine jumped up to hug his brother. Even though his family was supportive and caring, he was always more comfortable with Cooper, who seemed to have accepted him without reservations.

"Hey Blainers, I missed you too. Happy Thanksgiving, squirt." He hugged his brother tightly once more.

"Happy Thanksgiving, Coop. And I told you not to call me that!" He let go of his brother and went to text back to Kurt, but of course, Cooper was having none of that.

"Who are you texting?" Cooper curiously asked while trying to peek on the screen, which Blaine continuously dodged from him, "Oh! You are texting Kurtie-pie! Did you wish him Happy Thanksgiving already? Did you confess your feeling yet? Are you two dating? Did you two use protection?

"COOPER! Shut up, will you?" Now Blaine was pissed at his brother. "Yes, I wished him Happy Thanksgiving, that is what FRIENDS do! We are not dating, I have not told him anything yet, so there is no way we are having sex!"

While Cooper was a pain in the ass, he did know all about Blaine's unrequited love. And while he was obnoxious, his baby brother always came first.

"Calm down Blainers, I was joking. But seriously, though, Blaine, when are you going to finally admit your feelings to him? You love him don't you?"

Blaine looked at Cooper with nothing but love shining in his eyes, "I do, I do love him, so much. He is everything to me." His voice was sincere and dripping with emotion.

"And does he return your feelings?"

Blaine wavered, "Yeah, I think he does. I know he likes me, he told me he cares for me, but he just wasn't ready yet. He told me to go out, go on dates, and that he wouldn't think any less of me if I were to fall for someone else. But I can't Coop, Everytime I flirt with someone else, I feel like I'm cheating on him. I don't even see other people anymore. He is all I think about now, he means the world to me. I'm just waiting until he is ready. Until then I'm going to just wait and see. I won't stop showing him my affections, but I won't force him into anything either."

"Blaine, do what you think its best. But I don't want to see you sad."

"I'm not sad, Kurt makes me happy, even if we remain friends forever, I'd rather have him as my best friend, then screw this up because I forced him into something he wasn't ready for yet."

Cooper looked at his baby brother and suddenly realized he wasn't a kid anymore. And suddenly he went to Blaine and engulfed him in a tight hug. "Just be happy, I love you, squirt."

"Love you too, Coop."

Yeah, I love writing Burt/Kurt relationship and Cooper/Blaine relationship. And I just love how insightful Burt can be. Stay tuned for the following chapters. Next chapter will be around Christmastime.

Reviews please! I see that there are people viewing this story, and I'd love to know what you guys think of it so far. I may even put your ideas down into the plot of the story.
