Kurt woke up. His eyes searching for Blaine to confirm that everything that had happened wasn’t just a dream. After finding Blaine standing guard he slowly unwrapped himself from the sleeping bag and walked over to Blaine.
“How long have I been out?” Kurt asked as he stood arms folded by the entrance like Blaine.
“About 3 hours” Blaine replied.
“Right your turn” Kurt said as he grabbed a hold of Blaine’s wide shoulders.
“Not tired” Blaine muttered.
“Don’t worry I’ll keep watch.” Kurt said as he forced Blaine to turn around and started to push him towards the bed.
“Fine” Blaine said giving in. He got into the sleeping bag and closed his eyes. By the time Kurt had made it back to the entrance Blaine was already fasted asleep. Not tired Kurt thought to himself as he turned back and kept guard.

A few hours had pasted and the only sound in the shack was Blaine’s snoring. Kurt hummed softly to himself as he heard the other boy start to turn over. His shirt loosely hanging off him as he was moving around to free himself from the sleeping bag in his sleep. He watched as one leg managed to escape and the then the other. His trousers had started their journey southwards just hanging below the hip from all the movement. Kurt turned away blushing. Kurt’s mind began to wander, he started thinking about his Dad and what he was doing at this very moment. Was he in bed unable to sleep in fear of losing his son? Was he sitting by the projection screen watching them? Kurt knew there were bond to be cameras in the shack.
“You ok?” A broken voice asked as he coughed to clear his throat. Kurt turned around to see Blaine adjusting his top.
“Yeah just thinking”
“About what?”
“My Dad” Kurt sighed as he walked over to Blaine and took a seat next to him on the bed.
“You really miss him don’t you?” Blaine asked as he looked down at his hands.
“Of course. Do you miss yours?” Kurt asked.
“Listen Kurt I’m a career tribute. I was brought up to be placed in the games and yes I do love my family but we were taught to cut off any emotional links to them because if we didn’t then we would be destined for failure”
“That’s horrible” Kurt said as he moved slightly away.
“I know it is but that’s how thinks work in our District. That’s why I was so messed up after we kissed the first time, it messed my head up and that’s why I had to stay away from you because I needed to keep my head in the game. But then I saw you lying on the floor at the start of the games and I thought you were dead and I was so angry. Angry because I didn’t get to save you and tell you…” Blaine broke off as he looked into the distance. His lip shacking, it was hard for him to find the words. They were there deep inside of him, they had a home in his heart but to say them out loud it was like being naked.
“Tell me what?” Kurt asked with such an angelic voice which gave Blaine goosebumps down his spine. Blaine sighed as he turned to face Kurt.
“I…..” Kurt grabbed a hold of Blaine’s hand slightly squashing it for comfort.
“I think ummm I ummm I love you……….Kurt” he finally said as he looked into Kurt’s eyes. He felt so exposed right now. He had never said anything like that before in his life. Was it even the right time? Was it to fast? They had only ever kissed twice. Oh god his ruined it he was sure of it as he let himself out of Kurt grasp and started to get up.
“I’m sorry that was too fast, wasn’t it?” Blaine said embarrassed as he left the bed and walked over to the area of where their backpacks had been kept.
“No” Kurt said softly as he slowly got up and joined Blaine and grabbing his hand again, interlocking their fingers.
“What?”
“I think you’re very brave for telling me that and I think I love you to” Kurt said as they both blushed. Kurt slowly kissed Blaine’s forehead before tracing his finger over his lips. Blaine smiled at the touch as their lips finally meet again, both eager. Kurt placed his hands in Blaine’s now messy curls which were soft to touch as he hummed against Blaine’s lips. Blaine’s hands had settled on Kurt’s hips brining them both closer together.

None of them had wanted to break the kiss but there was a loud boom sound that broke them apart. Both shaking as the shockwaves rippled through their bodies. Kurt looked at Blaine who quickly instructed for them to quickly repack the bags. After they did Blaine moved the boulder slight since there was a tiny gap that no human could pass through from the outside which helped him put the boulder there when they had first entered the shack. Suddenly there was another loud boom and the shack was ripped apart throwing Kurt and Blaine in opposite directions knocking them both out. More explosions went off around them waking them both up. Suddenly Kurt felt himself getting tugged away. He tried to see but all there was, was smoke. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the side of his stomach. He placed his hand over the area to find something embedded into him. It was huge but because of the smoke he couldn’t tell what it was. He left it be as he was dragged along. He was unsure if he should be worried by whoever it was who was taking him. He didn’t even know if it was Blaine. There was shouting in the smoke as Kurt was finally let go.
“Blaine” Kurt called out as the shouting got louder.
“Get off me” an angry out of breath voice shouted scaring Kurt. Kurt pulled himself up the best he could before he tried to move. The smoke was settling now. Kurt could see a lone figure standing. He squinted his eyes trying to make out who it was. The figure started to move towards Kurt making him trip. He felt his heart racing.
“Kurt!” The voice shouted as he dropped to his knees next to him.
“Blaine” said relieved as he saw Blaine but his body was brushed and cut.
“Your hurt” Blaine said as Kurt looked down to examine himself. In the left part of his stomach to the side was a long thin broken wooden slat from the shack. Kurt suddenly dropped his head to the ground as the pain shout through his body like lighting.
“It’s going to be ok baby I promise” Blaine said as he tried to keep himself calm. He examined the piece before working out the only way to get it out was by pulling it.
“Kurt this is going to hurt and I’m so so sorry but it’s the only way. If leave it in it could go in deeper and damage you more.”
“What?!”
“I don’t think it’s hit anything major” Blaine said as he placed his hands on Kurt’s stomach.
“Breath ok”
“I am breathing” Kurt shouted back. He hadn’t had meant to be so harsh but now wasn’t the time to be polite. Blaine slowly tugged at it making Kurt screaming in pain. Blaine kissed his forehead whispering how proud he was of Kurt and how it was going to be ok. Finally he had got it out leaving a hole behind.
“I think you’re lucky it hadn’t gone that deep” Blaine said as he threw the wooden slat away.
“It needs stitching up” Blaine said as he saw Kurt breathing a bit to dramatically making him laugh slightly.
“Kurt you’re not giving birth” Blaine laughed as he stoked the top of Kurt’s hair.
“You’re not the one dying over here” Kurt replied angrily.
“Kurt you’re not dying you need a few stitches and that’s it” Blaine said as he gave Kurt a reassuring nod. Kurt stopped before he thanked Blaine for helping. Blaine instructed Kurt to keep pressure on the wound before he found his badly burnt backpack and pulled out its contents. He found a needle and some thin string which wasn’t really ideal for stitching the wound up but it was the only thing they had.

After Blaine had did what he could he finally took of the badly burnt top he had on. Kurt watched as it revealed his back but he was in horror as he saw he was covered in burns from the explosion.
“Blaine your hurt” He said as he went to move forward but he felt the stitches move scaring him slightly.
“I’ll be fine.” Blaine said as he repacked there only bag that survived, placing it on his back hissing slightly at the stinging pain it gave him from hitting his burns. He walked over to Kurt picking him up and carrying him in his arm.

After a few miles they had found a small pond. Blaine placed Kurt down on the soft grass. He looked at Kurt who assured him it would be alright for him to go swim.

Kurt watched as Blaine swam around in the pond. He watched as he saw the relief he got from the cold water hitting his back. Kurt couldn’t stop watching. The way the water ran across his body making him blush, hoping that Blaine wouldn’t notice. Kurt wanted so much to join him in the water but it wasn’t really the best idea. Kurt suddenly heard a sweet sounding noise, not like birds but something different. Of course he knew the sound. He looked into the sky and saw a container attached on a parachute falling from the sky. Kurt watched with eyes full of wonder as it fell just front of him.
“Blaine we actually got a sponsor!” Kurt mouthed to Blaine who was now walking out of the water and for a second Kurt completely forgot about the sponsor as he watched. Blaine’s soggy trousers were the only think he was wearing as he kneeled down next to him. He picked it up and slowly opened the container. Inside was a note saying what it was and a little small tub. Blaine opened it to find it was liquid to heal his back, he sighed to himself as he wished it was for Kurt instead of himself. He placed some on his finger and tried to rub it onto his back but failed.
“Do you want me to rub it on?” Kurt asked.
“Sure” Blaine replied as he moved himself to sit in front of Kurt. Kurt placed the cream onto his hands and slowly started to run it on the burns making them sting.
“I’m sorry” Kurt would say when he saw Blaine hiss in pain.

After he stopped he put down the tub before slowly going up and down Blaine’s neck kissing him making Blaine slightly giggle.
“Stop” Blaine laughed before he turned round to look at Kurt. Now wasn’t the time or the place. They needed to move again to find food. They both just stared at each other before Blaine got up again and offered to carry Kurt.
