AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Nevermind The Strangers" by the Saw Doctors
"Honey, can you go tell Kurt and Blaine that dinner is ready."
"Blaine's here too?" Burt asked, putting the jug of water back into the fridge. He had seen his son's car in the driveway when he had returned home, which hadn't surprised him as Kurt made the long commute home from Dalton quite often. The fact that Blaine was with him on a weeknight did however as it meant a drive back to the school this evening.
"Yeah. Something about them wanting time to study without all the racket," Carol replied, handing Finn a dish to carry out to the dining room table. As usual Finn wasn't too far away when there was food to be eaten.
Burt shrugged his shoulders. He guessed it wouldn't be hard for the Dalton dormitories to get a little noisy but there was always the library if they wanted quiet.
~That door had better be open,~ Burt thought as he climbed the steps. His mind went to the last time he had found Blaine in Kurt's room unannounced. The other boy's presence had been a surprised to him then, though all things considered Burt didn't think he had handled it too badly.
"Hey Kurt," Burt called reaching the top of the steps and heading down the hallway. He could see that his son's bedroom door was open. "Dinner is. . ."
Burt let his voice trail off at the sight that greeted him. Blaine was propped up against the headboard of the bed, head back, mouth open, and snoring lightly. A school book lay open in his lap. Next to him, Kurt was asleep, his head having found Blaine's shoulder for a makeshift pillow. Burt didn't miss the easy peaceful look that was on his son's face. It was a look that Burt couldn't remember seeing for a long time.
Leaning against the door jam, Burt just watched them for a moment. Though Kurt insisted they were just friends, Burt knew it was only a matter of time before the two stopped that charade. He had no doubts that his son liked Blaine. The way his face lit up every time he mentioned the other Dalton student told him that. As for Blaine, though Burt was convinced Blaine was still sorting things out in his head, it was clear the other teen cared about Kurt. That fact was made obvious when Blaine had come strolling into the garage telling him he needed to talk to Kurt about sex.
Watching the two of them, Burt realized he wasn't as upset about the idea of his son having a boyfriend as he thought he would be. Anyone who could put the look on his son's face was okay in Burt's book. Deciding not to wake them, Burt headed back downstairs to tell Carol the boys wouldn't be joining them for dinner.
