Then school starts agian and the boys are exited for glee to start again. School is boring but the glee club is always a highlight. Kurt now starts his already third year of highschool and Blaine can't believe that this is his boyfriends next last year already. Blaine himself is in his second year so still plenty of time to figure out what he wants to do after highschool. Kurt already gets asked but he and Rachel have a plan. New York. NYADA. Broadway. They both know that this means being long distance for at least one year but they will work it out and they still have plenty of time left.

The year doesn't start off well for Kurt. Two weeks in and Coach Sylvester has the awesome idea to play dodgeball in gym class. Of course the jocks target the smaller ones and three minutes after the game began Kurt takes a ball to the head, trips and falls over. He wants to shrug it off and stand up again but when he tries to he has to sit back down again. His right ankle hurts terribly much.

Quickly Sam is by his side "Hey, you're okay?". "I think so but my ankle hurts. Might be sprained or something I don't know" Kurt answers. Let me help you and bring you to the nurse. We'll call Burt from there" the tall blonde says and helps his friend to get back on his feet, supporting him with walking but they quickly realize that Kurt can't even walk so he hops with Sams help.

20 minutes later but is at the school to pick up his son. He wants to take him to see a doctor so they say goodbye to Sam and Burt helps Kurt to the car. While they are in the car Kurt texts Finn and Blaine, telling them what happened at gym class and that they're on their way to see a doctor but he'll keep them updated.

"What did the doctor say?" Blaine asks. It's lunch break and the curly haired boy uses the time to check in with his boyfriend. "He transfered me. My ankle got injured pretty badly, bad luck, I thought it was sprained. Now I'm at the hospital and in the early afternoon I have surgery. They want to stabilize the bone with a plate. I have to at least stay over night but probably can go home again tomorrow with cast ad crutches so I'll only be back at school after the weekend" Kurt explains. He hates gym class.

"Can I come by after the surgery in the evening?" the younger boy asks. Kurt smiles. He actually didn't want him to come and focus on school but thinking about it now he'd be happy to see him. "Okay. I'll text you my room number" Kurt says "I have to hang up now. They want to take some blood samples. See you later, I lvoe you". "I love you too" Blaine answers and hangs up before joining the others. He starts eating and tells Finn and Sam what Kurt just told him. The boy just doesn't have it with gym class.

The surgery went well and about an hour and a half Kurt wakes up from the anasthesia. He feels groggy and still a bit numb but okay. He just hopes he'll take the side effects a little better this stime. He still remembers the last time when he was finally allowed to eat but vomited. It was the day Carol and Burt met. It amazes Kurt not for the first time how much happened since then.

The first person he sees when waking up is his dad. "Hey" Kurt mumbles tiredly. "Hi kiddo" the man answers "How are you feeling?". "Okay. What time is it?" the chestnut haired boy asks. "4 pm. You still have time to really wake up before Blaine comes over. And you're allowed to eat dinner tonight. By then you should be fine to eat again" Burt laughs and both laugh.

While Kurt wakes up a little more father and son talk a bit more but at the same time Kurt still feels tired from the pain killer so at some point he falls asleep again. His father said he still has some time before Blaine comes so it should be okay if he takes a little nap.

When Blaine arrives at the hosptial Burt shows him the way to Kurts room and the curly haired boy smiles when he comes in only to find his boyfriend asleep and looking adorable as always when he sleeps. He closes the door quietly behind him and sits down on the chair next to the bed.

Carefully he takes Kurts had in his and kisses his palm. Slowly and with a groan Kurt opens his eyes but when he sees his boyfriend he feels awake immediatly. "Hey B" he says with a smile. "Hey darling. How are you" the boy asks, looking at Kurt with the biggest puppy eyes and Kurt just wants to kiss and hug him and never let him go again. "I'm okay. The pain killer does it's job. How was school?" Kurt asks and his boyfriend answers "Okay. Like always".

He stands up and bends over to kiss Kurt properly "You know you're really having bad luck. Gym exam, getting injured, surgery. Gym class, getting injured, surgery". "And this is why I hate sport" Kurt says with a pout. The other boy just laughs before kissing the pout away and then kissing Kurt on the forehead "Poor Kurtie".

"Last time dad met Carol. This time you're here. By my side. Last time I told dad to meet Carol. I could see he likes her but he didn't want to let me alone. I told him I was fine so he left and I wrote you a letter. Now I don't have to anymore" Kurt says and makes some space for Blaine to sit down next to him. Blaine does and puts his arm around Kurt "This time you don't have to. This time I'm right here by your side".

The couple stays like that for a bit longer before they get interupred by a knock at the door. Carol comes in with a tray with Kurts dinner. "Normally I would have to send you home now but stay for dinner and keep Kurt some company. Burt and I eat in the cafeteria and he brings you home after" she says and puts the tray down. "Thanks Carol" the boys say together and laugh. The woman smiles too before leaving and closing the door behind her.

"Let's eat" Kurt says. Besides a bowl of cereals for breakfast he hadn't eaten anything today because of the surgery and now that dinner stands in front of his nose he realizes how hungry he is. "Let's eat" Blaine repeats with a laugh. Carol brought them two portions and two forks. She planned everything. Blaine staying and Burt and her eating in the cafeteria.

"I'm tired" Kurt mumbles after dinner. They ate, talked and watched some TikTok's but the painkiller is doing it's job and today was exhausting in general so now that Kurt ate he's satisfied and tired. "Try to sleep darling. I stay a bit longer before I go home" Blaine answers. He wraps an arm around Kurt again and starts to play with his hair. Kurt sighs satisfied and closes his eyes before mumbling "I need a goodnight kiss". The younger boy laughs but leans over to kiss his boyfriend goodnight, adding a kiss to the forehead. "Sleep well darling. I love you" he whispers and the other boy answers "I love you too".

It doesn't take Kurt long to fall asleep. It's easy when Blaine is with him. He immediatly felt more at peace when Blaine came. Shortly after Kurt felt asleep there's a knock at the door. Burt and Carol come in. The father laughs when he finds his dad asleep in his boyfriends arms. "Okay we let him sleep. Tomorrow they want to run some more tests and after he can probably go home so I'll pick him up in my break Carol. I drive you home now" the man says.

Blaine nods and carefully takes his arm away, trying not to wake Kurt. He stands up just as carefully before covering Kurt up a bit more. He kisses Kurts forehead and says goodbye to Carol before following Burt to the car.

"Thanks for taking me" Blaine says as they make their way through the hallway to find a way out of his labyrinth. "Of course. It's really kind that you came" Burt answers but the boy waves it off I'd do anything for him. I really love him". "The love you two feel for each other is special. Keep it that way" Burt advices. It's true. He means it. "I will" Blaine answers. For a moment it's quiet. They are outside, walking to Burts car. "Thank you" Blaine says again. The man next to him laughs "You don't need to thank me that often you know?".

"I know but I want to. You've been there for my mom and me this summer but you did so much more you probably don't know about" Blaine says. "And what would that be?" Burt asks curiously. "First of all you're a great father and you raised Kurt amazingly. I would lie if I'd say that I wasn't a tad jealous sometimes when Kurt wrote me a letter and told me what you two did on the weekend or how you support him with everything. I didn't had that but now I have.

Also I knew when I came out that my parents will react different than you but you still gave me hope and courage because you accept Kurt the way he is. When we moved here Kurt helped me feel welcome here but not only he did but you all. His friends and family helped mom and me feel welcome. And this summer you helped my mom and me a lot, agreed that I can stay over and to throw my birthday party at your house" Blaine says "Just thank you for everything".

Burt looks at Blaine stunned before opening his arms "Bring it in kiddo". He gives Blaine a big bear hug "You're a good kid. No matter what your dad told you, you're a really good kid. Now let'S get into the car so I can get you home". They both get in and Burt drops Blaine off at home before driving home. It's been a long day so he just hop under the shower and go to bed. He has to get up early to open the store.
