This was my favorite moment of the episode, which is saying a lot because the majority of the episode was phenomenal.
But it reminds me how much we donāt see of Kurt and Blaineās relationship. I always wondered how Burt would adjust to Kurt having a boyfriend, a real, solid, not going anywhere boyfriend. And I think we get a little glimpse here.
I think that after Burt got over the initial shock of having to deal with his son being in a relationship, something neither he or Kurt expected to happen until he was living in New York, Burt became that parent thatās way too invested. Because suddenly Kurt was smiling all the time, and Burt hadnāt seen him smile like that since he was little. And he gorges himself on it.
He waits up for Kurt after dates sometimes, not because he doesnāt trust him but because he likes the look Kurtās always sporting when he walks in. At the beginning it was every time, and heād ask Kurt how his night was, and Kurt would sigh and smile and maybe give him a detail or two. After he got back from Regionals, he collapsed on the couch next to Burt and rested his head on his shoulder and said āHe told me he loves meā and Burtās heart clenched because this, this is what heās wanted most for Kurt.
He doesnāt do it as often now, because the dopey grin is more often accompanied by mussed hair and flushed cheeks and itās not because heās gay itās because heās his son and there are just things he doesnāt need to think about. But he still does it once in a while, asks how Blaine is with a raised eyebrow and laughs at the fact that he can make Kurt blush.
And itās not just that Kurt has someone, itās that he has Blaine, who is willing to stick his neck out for Kurtās sake but not really his own, but thatās alright because Kurtās just as protective as he is. He trusts them with each other, and he likes Blaine, he really does. He tried to do the intimidating father thing but it was really just for the sake of it, for the rite of passage heās earned as a father, the right to scare his sonās boyfriend. But the kid is just so damn earnest that it takes the fun out of it (maybe not all the fun - if he stares at Blaine long enough without breaking eye contact, he can still make him stutter).
And Burt wishes Blaine had been able to be at school that day because he knows that theyāre jockeying for most important man in Kurtās life but itās not even a fight he cares to win because he knows thereās room for them both. He was worried that knowing Blaine would still be in Ohio would make Kurt question his plan to leave because yeah, theyāre young, but theyāre so decided on each other and sometimes when you know, you just know, but Blaine was practically filling out Kurtās application, he was so supportive and excited, and Burt really wants to see the look on Blaineās face when he hears the news.
