AN: Set during season 4. Inspired by lyrics from "Nothing For Christmas" by New Found Glory


Despite the sun shining down, the air was cold in true December fashion. The temperature was keeping most people out of Central Park, but his Dad had insisted on getting out and seeing the city while he was here. Seeing the park was on his list of things he wanted to do, so the day after Christmas they had bundled up and headed out for a walk in the park.

As they strolled along the path, Blaine and Burt randomly commenting to each other about different things, Kurt looped an arm through his father's. Given that his father had never been overly affectionate, especially in public, so he was surprised that his father didn't pull away. They walked that way for awhile before Burt looked down at his son.

"Everything okay, Kiddo?"

"Yeah, Dad. Why?"

"You're just awfully quiet today," Burt commented, concern lacing his voice.

"Guess I just got a lot on my mind."

"Like?"

Sensing that the two needed some father and son time, Blaine dropped back behind them to give the two some privacy.

"Just thinking about how nice it is to be enjoying a leisurely walk in the park and wondering how many more moments like this we'll have together."

Burt sighed. "I told you, kiddo, the prognosis looks good. I don't plan on going anywhere any time soon."

"Mom didn't either," Kurt replied, letting his head rest on his father's shoulder.

"I promise, I'm not going to let you go through this year alone. In fact, don't make too many plans for the summer because we're all going on a family vacation before you and Finn get too involved in your own lives and forget all about spending time with Carole and me."

"I'll always want to spend time with you, Dad," Kurt told him. "But can I pick where we go?" he asked lifting his head to look at his dad.

Burt smiled. "What, you don't trust your old man to pick some place fun."

"Your idea of fun and mine don't always jive," Kurt replied.

Burt laughed at that. "Tell, you what. You and Finn decide on a destination together and Carole and I will go along with it."

"Deal," Kurt said, resting his head back on his father's shoulder, a slight smile on his face.
