Burt chooses Finn's game over Kurt's competition

[anonymous]

Kurt and Finn both have big event on the same day. For Finn it's the playoffs (or whatever a big game is called in football) and it's rumored that college scouts will be there. For Kurt it's the cheer leading nationals.

They're both on the same night so Burt can only go to one or the other. He decides to go to Finn's game because football is more his thing and Finn's bound to be nervous with the scouts there.

Kurt is hurt but pretends not to be.

Bonus points if: Finn doesn't get scouted (we've seen that team play. They're not very good) But Kurt does. Kurt can get discovered by a college cheer leading coach or a talent scout.

Kurt shook his head, steadying himself. Burt watched as his son picked himself up and effortlessly slipped a mask into place, a fake smile covering all of his face except his eyes. “I’m going to find Carole. She told me to tell her all about my basket toss attempt at practice; she gave me some pointers last night.” He made for the stairs when Burt called him back

DDDD:

Burt should have never asked Kurt when his cheering was if he was just going to say, “Just curious, that’s all. Good luck with the cheering, bud.” GAHHHH ;____;

He felt the judgment in Carole’s eyes when he felt them on the back of his neck a few hours later. She walked down the stairs slowly, eyeing him disapprovingly when she thought she wasn’t looking.

I know, he wanted to scream, I am a terrible father. I understand that. I can’t handle everything, no matter how much I want to. You all may think I am infallible but it’s simply not so, and damn it, this is one mountain that I can’t move.

Burt didn’t even dare to hope that Carole would pass him by, but somehow, he was almost in the clear. Carole made to walk straight past him, ambling slowly by, judgment rolling off of her in waves. However, his dreams of avoiding a confrontation were dashed when his partner (calling her his girlfriend seemed so…childish) planted her feet and cocked an
