Kurt sat down on the sofa, and all of a sudden, burst into tears for the first time since he had arrived at Blaine’s apartment. He had managed to force back the feelings since he had gotten to Blaine’s, but it just hit him all over again.

“Why did he do it, Blaine?” Kurt asked him as he wiped his eyes.

“I have no idea,” Blaine replied.

“I loved him.”

“How long had you been going out?” Blaine asked, unsure how to comfort his new friend.

“Since the day we both got our roles in the show. Oh, God! I’ve been silly, haven’t I? Was it me? Was I too...”

“Hey! No, it isn’t silly. You can’t help who you fall in love with, even if they did happen to be a cheating idiot like that. And you know what? He doesn’t deserve you. And, well, that means someone better will come along and swipe you off your feet and you will forget all about him.”

“Do you really think that?”

“Of course.”

“Blaine? Do you believe in love at first sight?” Kurt asked, looking at Blaine. Kurt’s eyes were shinning from the tears that reflected the lights in the room, which left Blaine unable to speak. He thought for a second before answering.

“No,” he said, turning away from Kurt. He walked over to the kitchen with Kurt following.

“How come?” Kurt stood to the side, watching Blaine mess around with the coffee machine.

“Coffee?” Blaine asked as he grabbed a couple of fresh mugs and put them ready. Kurt nodded as he wiped his face with a tissue. He went and sat himself back down on the sofa, holding onto a pillow. He could still feel the warm tears on his face but he just left them there. He thought to himself that it was best to cry now so he could get over this sooner.

Kurt and Blaine spent the rest of the evening watching movies. After a while, Kurt started to notice that Blaine was holding onto his injured hand.

“Are you sure you’re ok?” Kurt asked with concern in his voice.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Blaine put his hand back down. Kurt looked at his watch. It was 11 P.M. already.

“I think I may go to bed soon, if that’s ok?” Kurt asked.

“You don’t need to ask.” Blaine got up and walked to the bedroom. Kurt followed. Blaine walked to a little hidden cabinet at the side and found a blanket and pillow. He placed them on the floor.

“I can sleep on the sofa,” Kurt protested to Blaine as he opened the other door next.

“No, it’s ok. You’re a guest, and guests don’t sleep on the sofa. Oh, by the way, this is the bathroom.” Blaine opened the door wider to show Kurt the inside of the room. Kurt looked in and saw that this room was massive.

“Unfortunately, this is the only bathroom in this place. To be fair, I never needed more than one. Anyway, if you don’t mind...” Blaine said as he closed the door behind him. Kurt turned around and walked to the bed, setting out some night clothes. He then walked over to the window and looked out at the lights in the distance. He had always seen the city at night from his apartment and thought it looked amazing, but the view from Blaine’s apartment made it look even more stunning. He could stand there for hours looking at the lights as they made him forget about all his troubles.

“Hey, Rach,” he said to himself as he went to look behind him before remembering she wasn’t there. He sighed to himself as he thought about the day. He was glad that it would be over and tomorrow would be a brand new day. He grabbed his mobile out his pocket and turned on his phone. He saw twenty missed calls, all from Rachel. He went onto her number and was about to dial it, when suddenly the door opened and Blaine came out. 

“All free.” Blaine walked over to the pile of blankets and pillows, and picked them up before making his way to the door.

“The car picks me up at 7:15 A.M. to get to rehearsal at 8 A.M. You can share a ride with me, if you want. I mean, I don’t mind if you want to make your own way there. I’ll shut up now…” Blaine said as he stopped to look at Kurt.

“I might jog there,” Kurt said. “I could do with the run, and it’s a good way to clear your mind. I think I would like that, especially at the moment.”

“Yeah. Sure. Of course.” Blaine started to open the door.

“Blaine?”

“Yes, Kurt?” Blaine turned round to face Kurt.

“Thanks for letting me stay over for the night. I promise, I will be out of your hair by the morning,” Kurt said as he walked over to Blaine.

“It’s ok. You can stay for how long you…” They both looked into each other’s eyes, both losing what they wanted to say.

“I better go.” Blaine used his elbow to knock the door open.

“Yeah, sure. Night then.” Kurt grabbed the door to make sure it stayed open for Blaine.

“Night,” Blaine said before finally leaving.

Kurt spent most of the night unable to sleep. He just couldn’t switch off his brain no matter how much he tried. He got up a few times, walked around the room, looking at the lights again. After a good fifteen minutes, he decided to head back to bed.

Kurt was woken up by what sounded like a loud bang.

“Ouch, crap!” a voice said in the dark. Kurt jumped up and switched on the light next to him to see Blaine holding his foot.

“Hi there,” Blaine said as he put his foot back down on the floor. “Now, this looks odd, but I just really need the bathroom and just walked straight into this stupid thing. I was trying to be quiet, too, and not wake you up.” Blaine hopped back to the door that led to the living area. Kurt just laughed at the other guy. He could tell he was embarrassed.

“I totally wasn’t spying on you,” Blaine said, hurrying his words.

“Blaine, I believe you. Now go to the bathroom already.” Kurt used his hand to show Blaine where the door was. Blaine ran as fast as his legs could take him into the room.

After a few minutes he had returned, making his way out, but stopping to pick up a blanket.

“Cold?” Kurt asked

“Just a little. Just need an extra blanket, that’s all.” Blaine grabbed the closest one to him.

“Really, we can swap.” Kurt pulled his covers off and got up.

“No. I’m fine.”

“Ok, well, if you won’t swap, I don’t know, do you want to sleep on the other side of this bed? I mean, this is the biggest bed I’ve ever seen, and it could totally sleep fifty people in it. So, it’s not like…you know...” Kurt laughed to himself as he tried to find the right words to say.

“No. You’re ok,” Blaine said as he left the room, leaving Kurt on his own. Kurt started to laugh to himself at how much of an idiot he had just made of himself. Ten minutes later, Kurt heard a knock at the door. Blaine’s head appeared from around it.

“Is that offer still open? Only I’ve tried to turn the heating up, but I think I may have broken it, and these blankets are very thin.” Blaine pulled up one of the blankets to show Kurt what he was talking about.

“Yeah, sure.” Kurt moved himself from the centre of the bed to the side. Blaine got in on the other side, but he was so close to the edge that if he rolled over he would have fallen off.

“This means nothing,” Blaine laughed as he felt his feet start to warm up.

“Nothing,” Kurt laughed.
