AN: Season One. Just a little tag to "Preggers" inspired by "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day


Kurt looked in the mirror, his cream covered face staring back at him. He felt relieved and scared at the same time. So much had happened since the start of the school year and it wasn't even the end of September yet. He wondered how he would ever make it through this year, especially what with being on the football team now. He was pretty sure most of his own teammates didn't like him and somehow that scared him more than the thought of the opponent bearing down on him on the field.

This year was not turning out as planed. He definitely hadn't planned on having to deny his true sexuality to Finn. Number one, he never expected to actually be in the position to talk to the Titan quarterback much less have him openly assume he was gay. There was a part of himself that hadn't been ready to admit that to himself - admitting it to Finn was out of the question.

Yet he had accepted that part of himself now. That acceptance had started with coming out to Merceds but had concluded with his admission to his Dad. Knowing that his Dad loved him anyway had been what he needed to hear to stop hating himself. To end the desire to be something that he wasn't because ever since he could remember all he wanted to do was to make his Dad proud of him.

So much soul searching in a short period of time was overwhelming. It made him wonder what the last week of September would hold and if he really wanted to face it. Hadn't he been through enough already. Perhaps he could take a break from the world and return to it once September ended.
