Through Crooked Aim [14/23]

Summary:

After his father's death, Kurt took over the family business, a diner that was Burt Hummel's pride and joy. He never thought he could be happy in Lima, but five years later he can't picture himself anywhere else. His husband does not understand his sudden love for the small town he was once desperate to leave behind. Blaine Anderson never had much, but he loves the diner. His entire life revolves around it ever since he met Burt when he was still a kid and he took Blaine under his wing. Now that Burt's gone, it looks like Blaine doesn't have a reason to stay around… except for one he's not willing to admit to anyone, sometimes not even himself.

The next few days went by in a blur, and Kurt hadn’t imagined, when the diner had burned down, that he would get to be this happy and excited again. The sense of camaraderie that permeated the diner every single day felt like a miracle he hadn’t expected to experience. The amount of help wasn’t as big as it had been on that first day, because everyone still had jobs to go to and their own businesses to open, but they all seemed to have come to an agreement and took turns helping out at the diner in any way they could.

By the end of that week, they had taken out all the ruined furniture and all the debris. Kurt and Blaine had had a moment of deep grief as they gathered all the burnt, destroyed frames with the photographs that were no longer recognizable, but Kurt promised he would soon make time to head into the attic at home and check if there were copies.

The whole process was one of joy and grief mixed together constantly – seeing the destruction and the loss was heartbreaking, but the warmth of the community surrounding them and the fact that Kurt had Blaine to lean on, and vice versa, made it all a little bit more bearable.

You know at some point in their marriage, Kurt is going to come home unexpectedly and call out to Blaine and when he doesn’t get a reply the way he usually does when he knows Blaine is home early or had late classes that day, he’ll wander into their bedroom and see his husband folding laundry as follows:

“Kurt, oh my God. How - how long have you been standing there?”

“The claw raises, and it looks like it’s going to lose grip of the foot as it pulls the toy out of the pile, but it somehow hangs on and Sebastian is glad for that until he realizes what kind of animal it is. Kurt bursts into laughter beside him. “It’s a meerkat,” he giggles, actually giggles.” — It Was Only A Kiss, Chapter 9
