AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling
As I watch my son practically float away toward the stairs, I realize that this moment wasn't quite as awkward as I always thought it would be. Since the day Kurt had admitted to me that he was gay, not that I hadn't already suspected, I've tried to prepare myself for the day he would come home and say he had a boyfriend. Apparently it was something Kurt had worried about doing himself, if the hesitancy he had shown was any indication. Whatever our hang ups had been, we were past that milestone.
My baby boy had his first boyfriend and the fact that I could see pure joy on his face for the first time in a long time, made me happy. Sure he had been happier since transferring to Dalton, I think we all saw that, but their had still been a sadness about him. A part of him that remained closed off to the world around. I realized that perhaps he was simply protecting himself, but it had troubled me.
I knew something had changed the moment Kurt had walked through the door this afternoon. Something had made him practically glow with happiness. I hadn't been expecting him to tell me Blaine had kissed him, but after the initial surprise I found I was okay with it. I liked Blaine. Yeah, he had his faults, the drinking issue being one of them, but I knew he cared about Kurt. If I hadn't already seen that in how he treated my son, walking into the garage to talk to me would have showed me that. I knew that afternoon as I watched Blaine walk out, that whether either of them realized it yet, Kurt and Blaine belonged together. It had just been a matter of time, and it appeared as if that time had come along at last.
And it was a relief really. As much as I loved Kurt, and would like to keep him close and protect him for the rest of his life, that wasn't going to happen. All too soon he was going to graduate high school and go out into the world on his own. Knowing that Kurt wouldn't be alone, that he would have Blaine by his side, made facing that reality a little easier.
