Disclaimer: I don't own glee.
Blaine was having a good month. He was occupied with ending his entire club for the year, and rehearsing for the glee concert that they were putting on. Buying gifts for everyone in glee, with the help of his mother's money. Everything was going so fast and hectic. He even jumped for joy when the first snow started falling. Christmas time was his favorite time of the entire year, but it was also depressing. He would mentally scold himself when he thought about last Christmas and how he had the one present that money couldn't buy.
Blaine pushed the thought away as he exited the auditorium. Singing for the concert helped ease him, but glee reminded him of Kurt. Sure, he and Kurt were talking a lot. But Blaine couldn't tell him he loved him and they couldn't have Skype sex. He missed Kurt and Kurt's body, but he deserved this. He hurt Kurt and he deserved not having him. Now Kurt wasn't coming home for Christmas and that meant that Blaine would have to go even longer without seeing him. They were suppose to ice skate together, but Blaine made sure to be nothing but positive when he found out.
He pulled on his coat and gloves before walking down the hall, dodging students and their families. It sucked not having his mom and dad there, but they decided to go on their cruise once again. Blaine didn't mind being left alone. It gave him some time to think and he could walk around in his boxers all day.
"Hey, Kiddo!" he heard before he pushed through the doors. He turned to find Burt smiling at him.
"Burt!" Blaine greeted rushing forward and hugging him tightly. "What are you doing here? Is Kurt-"
The older man shook his head, cutting Blaine off. "I'm here for moral support for Finn. He is my son too. I have to say that you guys did awesome up there. It's strange seeing you without the other guys, but you held your own. A shame that you guys lost Sectionals. Maybe it was because Kurt wasn't there to help."
Blaine laughed with him as they continued out the door. "I'm glad you liked the concert, though I'm sure that my duet with Tina would have been better with Kurt. We always have a Christmas duet, but this year I guys traditions die young."
"You were the glue holding the group together, Blaine," Burt informed and the two shared a laugh. "Though maybe that Christmas duet can still happen."
Blaine cocked his head and looked at Burt hopefully. "You mean that Kurt is coming home?"
"Not quite."
"There's only a day until Christmas," the boy pointed out. Christmas Eve was the next day. "There is no way that can happen, Burt. I love that you are still the number one Klaine fan, but I've given up hope that I'll see him the rest of the year."
"Well then start hoping again because I have something to tell you," Burt said and that's how Blaine found himself letting Kurt follow him inside his house.
"Sorry that it's not picked up, parents are gone and I have the house to myself."
"Boys will be boys," Burt said as they made their way to the kitchen.
"Do you want anything to drink, or eat? I'm not sure we have much but junk food, but I won't tell Kurt, if you don't." He pulled open the refrigerator and peered inside, before turning to see Burt sitting at the counter.
"That's the thing," the man started, "I went to my doctor's appointment a month ago and they found something." Blaine dropped the juice box that he had pulled out before whipping around to look at the man that fathered the love of his life. "Don't jump to conclusions, Kid. I have prostate cancer."
Blaine gripped the counter for support. "Don't worry, Burt, how am I not supposed to worry? What did Kurt say? Are you going to be okay? Oh god, please tell me that you can get treatment."
