AN: So if Blaine were to propose to Kurt, here's my take on some of the pursuing conversations. First up - breaking the news to Burt. It's two parts.
Prompt: Burt Hummel -"Believe me, I want to do this even less than you do. This is going to suck for both of us. But we're going to get through it together and we'll both be better men because of it." - 'Glee'
I stood in the driveway looking at my parent's home. The kitchen light was on and I knew that despite the late hour and the fact that I was in college now, Dad was waiting up for me. I glanced down at the ring on my left hand as the porch light caught one of the small diamonds set in the band. What was he going to say?
"I can do this alone you know. I already faced one lecture when I asked permission to ask you," Blaine said beside me, his hand coming to rest on the small of my back.
"So you've told me," I replied, still in disbelief that his boyfriend had done something so old fashion and romantic. "And he said we weren't ready and he's got a point. We are too young to get married," I replied, starting to panic. I loved Blaine. I had no doubt of that but I knew I wasn't ready to say I do.
Blaine's hand left my back as he moved to step in front of me. He cupped my face in his hands as he started speaking softly. "Which is why we're not rushing this, remember. There is no date set and no plans to set one. We'll know when that time is right. For now, all that ring on your finger stands for is a symbol to everyone that are love is real and we're going to make it no matter what anyone throws at us."
"You're right," I said, feeling the panic start to subside. I still knew that making my Dad see and understand that wasn't going to be easy. "Convincing my Dad of that however-"
"Is something that you don't have to do alone. I know this isn't going to be easy but we'll get through this. We'll make your Dad see things our ways, because after all he's a reasonable man. We're going to get through this exactly how we're going to get through the rest of our lives - together."
"I like the sound of that," I said softly, as Blaine leaned in to kiss me.
After a brief kiss their in the driveway, we broke a part. Standing here wasn't getting us anywhere. With my left hand intertwined with Blaine's right, the two of us headed for the front door.
