AN: So, a little added scene to "Wonder-ful" because frankly season 4 didn't have enough Kurt and don't get me started on the Klaine issue.
Prompt: Baze - "I thought that if I gave it time, the feelings would go away. But after the last two days, I don't know if I want the feelings to go way." - 'Life UneXpected'
I felt much lighter leaving the doctor's office than I had when we had arrived. My Dad was cancer free. I didn't have to face the idea of saying good-bye right away. With my father's arm around my shoulders, I hadn't felt this happy in a long time.
Walking down the steps of the building, I noticed a familiar red jeep parked along the curb. Leaning against the fender of the vehicle was Blaine.
"Good news, I take it?" Blaine asked, as the three of us headed in his direction.
"The doc says I'm in remission," my father replied enthusiastically, letting go of Carole and me as he headed toward my ex-boyfriend.
"That's great!" Blaine replied, as he hugged my father.
As soon as they broke apart, Blaine was pulling me into a hug. I relaxed willingly into his embrace. I never would have gotten through these last few months if not for Blaine. He had been my solace when I needed him most. He had comforted me when I cried, absorbed my yelling when I needed to vent, and had made me laugh when I had thought I would never laugh again. Even now, though I hadn't asked him to come, he was here for me ready to join in whatever the outcome.
"Thank-you," I whispered, holding him tight as I rested my chin on his shoulder. There was so much more I wanted to tell him but I just couldn't find the words. Or maybe there just weren't any words to express all the emotions that I was feeling right now.
Last fall, when he had told me he had cheated on me, I felt like my world had fallen apart. I had believed that if I just gave it time, the love I felt for Blaine would just go away but they hadn't. Even as I kept insisting that we were just friends, I knew my feelings for him ran deeper than that. Now, after the past few days, I realized I didn't want them to go away. Blaine had been my anchor since returning to Lima. If it hadn't been for him I would have fallen apart just waiting for the appointment this afternoon.
"You're welcome," Blaine replied in a way that told me he understood the deeper meaning that my words were inadequate to express.
Though he released me from the hug, Blaine slipped his arm around my waist as he stood by my side.
"Carole and I will collect Finn from college, he should be done with his exam by now, and meet you two at Bread Stix for a family dinner. I want to celebrate," my father suggested.
"Sounds great," Blaine replied before leading me toward his jeep.
I was still confused on how to define Blaine and me, but there was one thing I knew - he was part of my family no matter what happened. This whole cancer scare with my father had only solidified something that we had all known all along.
