AN: Because this little (what is it two seconds) promo scene is the first thing that has excited me about Glee in a long time I just had to expand on it. This probably will be nothing like what goes on in the show (I'm waiting to be disappointed actually) but I had fun writing it! Hope you enjoy!
Standing on the stage with Burt Hummel, I gathered my courage. Though in this day and age asking a father for permission to ask for their daughter's hand in marriage wasn't practiced much and Kurt was Burt's son, but still I felt given the circumstances it was necessary. It didn't make getting the words out any easier.
"I would like to ask Kurt to marry me," I finally said, looking at the older man's reflection in the mirror he was standing in front of.
I could see the surprise on Burt's face at the announcement but couldn't read much else from the older man. I held my breath. Somehow walking into the man's garage and insisting that he talk to his son about sex had not been this nervewracking.
"You broke my boy's heart," Burt finally stated, not looking from the mirror.
"I know and I will regret that for the rest of my life," I admitted. "It doesn't change the fact that I still love him."
Burt finally turned from the mirror. "The two of you aren't actually dating again, are you?" he asked, clearly trying to make sure that he had all the facts straight.
"Not officially."
"Yet you want to ask him to marry you?"
"Yes," I admitted. "I feel that I can apologize until I'm blue in the face, and there will still be doubt to the sincerity of those apologies. I need to make a commitment to him to prove that I'm serious."
Burt raised his eyebrows at me and then nodded. Did he follow my logic?
"Well, I won't stand in your way," he finally said.
I let out the breath I was holding.
"Because though you broke his heart, if he didn't love you, then that wouldn't have happened," Burt continued. "And the simple fact is, you make my boy smile. You have from the first day he met you and you do now despite what happened. It's why I took you to New York at Christmas time. More than anything in this world, I want Kurt to be happy and I truly believe he can find happiness with you. But let me warn you know, if you ever do anything that stupid again, I will make your life a living hell, Blaine Anderson."
"Understood, sir," I replied, having no doubt that the man standing before me would follow through on that threat if necessary.
