Author: vnilla
Fandom: Glee
Characters: Kurt, Burt
Rating: G
Word Count: 164
Summary: A missing scene between Kurt and Burt at the end of "Wheels."
Author's Notes: Love. Them.
It isn't until they're putting the tools away that the question occurs to Burt. "What's that song you wanted to sing about, anyway?"
Kurt picks up a towel and starts dabbing at the grease stains on his workman's gloves, an obvious delay tactic. "It's about a girl who's never really fit in anywhere. Up until now, she's been trying, but she's just too different. The song is where she decides to go off on her own and be herself at any cost."
Burt snaps the case of his toolbox shut, giving the right words time to surface. He's past the point where he needs to talk around Kurt's sexuality, but it hurts to think that his son is so unhappy in his own hometown. "You know you always belong with me," he says at last, feeling helpless. "I'd change the whole damn world for you if I could."
Kurt leans against him, a little boy gesture that breaks his heart. "Yeah, Dad, I know."
