Prompt: Lex Luthor - "You're not hiding. You're getting some air." - 'Smallville'

I had gotten married twice, both times to wonderful women, but neither of those times had I been as nervous as I was today. Today my little boy was getting married to the one person in the world whose love for him I truly believed equaled mine. I should've been happy and yet I couldn't help but feel as if my world was crumbling down around me just like when I had lost Kathleen.

I took a deep breath of the cool autumn air, and looked up at the sky, trying to will away my tears. Even with being in Central Park instead of a church, I had still felt like things had been closing in around me as final preparations were being made. Who had ever heard of needing to get some air when you were already outside?

"Is everything okay, Mr. Hummel?"

Of everyone that might have followed me today, the voice that spoke was the last one I expected but given the events surrounding the first time I had met him, perhaps he should have been the first one I expected.

"Yeah. Just needed to get away from the crowd," I said turning to face my soon to be son-in-law.

"It's hard letting him go, isn't it?" Blaine asked, with a wisdom that went beyond his years.

"Yeah, it is," I said, looking over to where Kurt stood with Finn, the latter clearly trying to calm Kurt down. I had a feeling my disappearing act had worried him. He always had been a bit of a worrier.

"I'm not trying to steal him away, you know," Blaine said, drawing my attention back to him. "You're always going to be an important part of Kurt's life. I don't want to change that. Or well, yeah, maybe I do. I want you to be an important part of our life."

Blaine's little speech had me wanting to cry again. He was right though, I shouldn't look at today as if I was losing a son. Today I was just gaining a third son.

"You're something else, you know that, Anderson," I said, before giving my soon to be son-in-law a quick, albeit awkward, hug.

"Let's get back before we ruing Kurt's carefully planed schedule," I added, feeling marginally calmer then I had when I had left the others. I was still nervous, but this was how things were suppose to be. Kids grew up and started lives of their own and the most we could hope for is to still be included in those lives.

I didn't think I had a thing to worry about on that account.
