Prompt: Fry - "I have to do what makes you happy. Not what makes me happy." - 'Futurama'
I exchanged a glance with Carole. Her simple nod was all the answer that I needed.
"Hey, Kurt. Wait up a sec. There is something we want to talk to you about,"* I said, stopping my son from walking away.
"What is it?" Kurt asked, curiosity coming out in the otherwise flat tone of his voice.
Stepping to the side of the hallway to allow the crowd of students to continue on their way without us being in the way, I looked down at him.
"A few days ago Mr. Schuester gave me some information about a private school, Dalton Academy."
"I know all about it," Kurt replied, realizing that he hadn't told his Dad about visiting the private school, or about hanging out with Blaine these last few days. It wasn't like he was trying to keep it from his father but it just hadn't come up.
"Well giving the circumstances, I've been thinking that perhaps it might be better for you to transfer there. I've talked to the school and they're willing to accept the transfer. I know that leaving your friends will be hard but you said it yourself, you don't feel safe her and I want you to feel safe, Kurt." I paused a second. That last bit was exactly right and I wanted to be completely honest with him on this matter. "I need you to be safe," I amended.
"But the tuition . . ." Kurt began.
I shook my head. "You let me worry about that. We'll use the savings for this year and next year, if you still want to stay there, we'll figure something out."
"The savings was for your guys' honeymoon though."
"That doesn't matter," Carole said, finally speaking up. "You think we'll really be able to enjoy a vacation if we know you're going to be miserable every day you got to school."
"Parents aren't happy if they know they're children aren't," I added. "It's just the way things are."
I waited for an answer but Kurt remained silent. Just when I was about to speak again, Kurt stepped forward an threw his arms around me. It was the only answer that I needed as I returned the embrace not caring who was watching.
