Summary: ‘Today, Kurt married his best friend. Again.’
‘What was I thinking? What was he thinking?’ Kurt rambled, eyes wide as he paced. ‘I’m twenty-one, Dad! Blaine’s only twenty, we’re still in college, we’re still kids. We’re not old enough to get married! Oh, my god, we’re going to get divorced. Getting married so young will put too much pressure on us and we’ll fall apart and get divorced. I’m going to be a divorcee by the time I’m twenty-five.’
Burt had been letting Kurt rant himself out, hoping that venting his fears would make Kurt see that they were unfounded, but it was becoming obvious that Kurt wasn’t going to calm down any time soon. Burt stepped in front of Kurt, distracting him from his pacing, and clasped him by the shoulders. Kurt stopped talking and looked up at him.
‘Take a deep breath,’ Burt said quietly. Kurt closed his eyes and breathed. ‘And another.’ Kurt sighed this breath out and let Burt lead him over to the bed. ‘Have a seat,’ he said, letting go of Kurt’s shoulders only when he had settled himself on the bed. Kurt stared at his hands, lying limply in his lap, as Burt pulled a chair over until he could look Kurt in the eye. ‘Now, listen to me, are you young? Yes. Are you stupid? No.’ Kurt started to speak, and Burt held up a hand. ‘I was gonna save this story for the reception, but I think you need to hear it now.’
