Weeks went by with Blaine going to Kurt's room after school and spending hours there. With his mother being the doctor, the hospital allowed Blaine to stay over night, since she worked there all the time anyway, and claimed it to be the only way to look after Blaine and her patients, as Cooper was on a temporary visit overseas, her boss didn't seem to mind, even though Blaine knew it was a lie. He really appreciated it, and even let her comfort him. He found she was a great doctor, he went with her to some of her patients on times he couldn't stand seeing Kurt so beautiful yet unresponsive, most of them being kids, his age, and she was always able to put a smile on their faces, or comfort them in ways that made Blaine proud of her, but all he wanted was for Kurt to wake up.
One day after school his mother rushed up to him with a big smile on her face.
"What mum, what is it?"
"Well the Hummels already know this, but I wanted you to hear it from me...,"
"Kurt?" Blaine asked his eyes immediately shining at the thought.
His mother nodded still with the same smile. It had been 4 weeks. He ran to Kurt's room, ignoring his mother calling out to him to wait for her, dropping his school bag on the way.
He rushed in breathing heavily noticing Burt in his usual place, and Carole and Finn on the other side of the room looking grim.
"He's awake?" Blaine asked, as Burt nodded.
"He's sleeping at the moment...Kid, I think we should talk...Kurt's going to be a little groggy..."
Blaine didn't listen as he moved forward to Kurt seeing his eyes open in shock and confusion when Blaine put his hand on Kurt's shoulder.
"Hey baby,"
"...Wh...Who are...you?" Kurt asked narrowing his eyes at his dad after he looked at Blaine.
"Kurt...I...I'm your boyfriend...you don't remember me?"
Kurt's breathing increased as he shook his head wildly and looked at Carole and Finn also in confusion.
"Dad...who are they?"
Blaine's heart shattered as his mother came in.
"Blaine I told you to slow down!"
"Why were you smiling! He doesn't remember me mum...!"
Blaine fell to his knees as he glanced at the boy in the bed.
"Why..."
His mother crouched down to Blaine's level and pulled him towards her.
"Sweetie, when they threw him in the trash he hit his head pretty hard causing some impairment, even though he's awake the swollen can create some confusion, memory loss, some mood swings...it's normal after waking up from a coma...but he needs you and the Hummels to remind him of what happened before the bullies attacked him...it's possible for him to be reminded of who he is by being surrounded by familiar people and learning again,"
"K...Karofsky?" Kurt asked suddenly. Blaine looked up and nodded but Kurt frowned at Blaine's response.
"Son, what year do you think this is?" Burt asked. The silence from Carole and Finn obviously meant they were gutted Kurt didn't remember them too.
"...2008, I just started freshman year...and Mr Shue took over glee club,"
The room was silent.
Kurt looked at the clock.
"Dad, I'm missing glee...we just started rehearsals"
Everyone looked at he time and read it was 3:15.
Burt chuckled.
"Kid...you're not going to glee at the moment...they know you're in hospital,"
"2008...I was still living with dad," Blaine muttered.
Kurt's confusion turned into curiosity as he looked at Blaine and blushed when Blaine caught him staring.
Blaine smiled slightly.
Well at least the freshman Kurt still thinks I'm cute.
Maybe I'll learn a new Kurt, and he'll remember me.. but when he looked at Kurt's curiosity look turn into observation as though whether or not to trust him...he needed some air.
Saying he'll be back he hurried out of the room...and kicked his leg against an empty hospital hallway.
They had just said I love you's...
He couldn't lose Kurt.
Kurt was the best thing that ever happened to him.
Blaine sobbed loudly as he fell to the floor trying to breath.
His mother found him there where he had fallen asleep exhausted from too much crying, so she picked him up and carried him into her office where there was a bed she put him on.
Ms Anderson sighed as she moved the hair out of her sons eyes, and she vowed that she would do everything she could to help Blaine and the Hummels get Kurt to remember the times of 2010.
Blaine woke up a day later feeling someone poking him.
He opened his eyes staring back at Kurt, his beautiful blue eyes and chestnut hair all messed up, wondering if he was dreaming as he instantly bolted upwards causing Kurt to flinch back.
"Sorry...I...are you supposed to be out of your room?" Blaine said in concern noticing the hospital gown, suddenly remembering yesterdays events as he took of his own jacket and placed it around Kurt gently after watching him for the okay, Kurt seemed grateful and Kurt's face flushed in embarrassment.
"I...I was hungry, and everyone was gone, I said it'd be okay, but now I... realized I'm starving...and I saw you in the window..."
"Everyone will be worried about you, come on I'll take you back, and then get you whatever you want," Blaine said as he got up from his sleeping position rubbing his eyes.
"Blaine?"
"Yeah Kurt?" His eyes locked with the boy he loved.
"A...Are we really boyfriends? Dad told me we are...and he told me about Finn and Carole too..." Blaine nodded as he took Kurt's hand to lead him back to his room, rubbing his thumb softly over the smooth skin he missed so much. Kurt seemed to relax under the gesture and he couldn't stop staring at their interlocked fingers as they walked.
"Just recently...I met you at a party,"
"I don't like parties," Kurt mumbled and finally looked at Blaine who gave him a warm smile as he chuckled.
"I know that, you were drunk out of your mind, but you didn't want to drink, Puck...a guy in your show choir..."
"Noah Puckerman?" Kurt asked as Blaine nodded while they walked.
"Yeah the weird hair cut guy," Blaine laughed. It was still just as comfortable around Kurt like this he realized.
"He throws me into dumpsters..."
Blaine stopped walking and stared at Kurt, still holding his hand.
"What?"
"H...he...bullies me, he throws slushies...and he wears a leather jacket...he's not in glee club, he says its for losers..."
Blaine sighed.
"I think Puck changed after a few years Kurt, he definately wouldn't call you a loser, he's the one that rang me for help at the party...because he was worried you wouldn't get home safely on your own,"
Kurt let out an oh sound.
"Wait till Mercedes hears about this,"
Blaine giggled.
"She knows Kurt...she was drunk too,"
"She was? so you're kind of like my...prince charming?" Kurt gasped smiling widely at the thought.
Blaine snorted loudly and Kurt let go hitting his shoulder.
"What's so funny!?"
"You said something like that when I met you, but I thought it was just my mind playing tricks,"
Kurt groaned.
"Obviously my romance hasn't changed...do I still think Orlando Bloom is hot?"
Blaine cocked his head to the side in surprise with a grin.
"I''m sure you do...me and Orlando have a resemblance don't you think?"
Kurt rolled his eyes.
"You're so full of yourself,"
Blaine laughed despite the circumstances and put Kurt back to bed since it had taken him a long time to walk back to his room as his knees hurt, Blaine had walked slowly and was at Kurt's aid the whole way, as they walked the rest of the way in a comfortable silence. Blaine had to lift him up and tuck him in, which he didn't mind as Kurt was looking at him liked he was the weirdest stranger he's ever met but the good kind.
"I hope I'm not dreaming...because...you're pretty cute,"
Blaine leaned down and touched Kurt's cheek fondly.
"You're pretty cute too...we'll help you remember Kurt, if you let us,"
"Promise? I don't want to forget 2 years of my life,"
"Promise.. the doctors say it is just temporary since you woke up quicker than they had predicted and the bullying could have been worst,"
Burt walked in then.
"How you feeling Kiddo?"
"I'm still hungry,"
Blaine laughed again.
"Alright bossy pants, what do you want?" Burt watched the two as he sat down on the chair in the hospital room.
"Coffee...and a piece of cake?"
"Non fat mocha and a slice of cheesecake coming up," Blaine supplied.
Kurt looked at him in wonder.
"You know my coffee order?"
Burt scoffed on the other side of the room as Kurt scowled at him ruining the perfect moment even if he hardly knew what was happening. It was a nice dream.
"Of course I do,"
Blaine leaned down slowly and pecked his cheek as Kurt watched him.
"I'll be back shortly," Blaine answered as Kurt blushed again.
