Kurt was still sleeping when he came back to the room in between going to his next class. Blaine sighed and pressed a kiss to his forehead, smoothing the hair back like the way he used to. An hour of class seemed to just drag on, but the teachers were glad to see some light behind Blaine’s eyes whereas before he had been distant and always staring into space until Wes or David would nudge him to pay attention.

Now at least he was taking notes as though he welcomed the distraction. Which he did, he wanted it to go as quickly as it could so he could get back to Kurt. Kurt slept throughout the day, and every time Blaine went to check on him before going to class he made sure he was sleeping so that he wouldn’t hurt his neck or that he was comfortable, and those three times he checked on him he kissed him on the forehead and stroked his cheek fondly.

Finally the school day was over by 4pm and he rushed back to his room. Wes offered to bring him and Kurt dinner later, and insisted Blaine not worry about it. Blaine knew Kurt still hadn’t eaten the sandwiches he had gotten, but he might be hungry later so he appreciated that. This time he was coughing and Blaine immediately discarded his blazer and went to sit near the bed.  “Hey take it easy sweetheart,”

Blaine felt the urge to cry himself. Kurt didn’t deserve this.

“Blaine…”

Kurt didn’t have the energy to say anything else. He struggled to keep awake and when he did wake it was because he had to cough violently. Blaine rubbed up and down his back and winced at the sound of Kurt's illness. "Thank you for letting me stay here." Kurt coughed. Blaine checked his temperature, it was no worse but definately not better. Blaine just kissed Kurt's lips in answer. "You're welcomed, thank you for coming back," Kurt looked horrified "Don't kiss me while I'm sick, you might catch it too," Blaine pouted at Kurt "But I missed kissing you - I missed you Kurt," Kurt looked at him softly "I missed you too Blaine,"

At that point Wes and Jeff showed up with some soup. “Hey there buddy how you feeling?” Wes asked as Kurt exhaled and looked amazed that he had more company as Jeff also offered a hi and a smile walking to stand next to Blaine. Wes came closer to Kurt’s bedside and felt his forehead “You’re still running a bad fever,”

Kurt paused to stop his voice from breaking “I…I could be better, but that’s my own fault thank you,”

“Well you’re certainly brave for venturing out in that weather, I think I wouldn’t last more than a few hours without running to someone,” Jeff said seriously and Blaine was thankful for his efforts of attempting to make Kurt feel better about the situation.

“Is it alright if some of the Warblers come back to say hi tomorrow? You’re pretty famous in our club now, Blaine does nothing but talk about you,” Kurt looked surprised, while Blaine turned crimson. Kurt broke out in a wide smile though and for Blaine, it was worth it as he croaked “I’d love that,” since his voice was still rusty from the illness “But not for long, I wouldn’t want to get all the Warblers sick before they have to sing on stage,”

Jeff grinned “I like this kid,” He said to Blaine and Blaine laughed rolling his eyes.

Blaine had told the Warblers about his plan to get Kurt transferred to Dalton. He was pleased to see they had been listening because clearly they were trying to make him feel welcomed already. He also mention what a killer voice Kurt had and Wes immediately perked up on that.

As though reading his mind Wes also added “Maybe you can sing with us … if you get better in the week, Blaine says you have a voice to die for,”

Jeff disagreed “No Blaine said he sounded like an angel,”

Kurt was staring at Blaine with an odd expression.

Okay why don’t you guys just go ahead and tell him I’m head over heels for him, you’re doing a pretty damn good job on your own! Blaine thought 

“Okay! Thank you guys for the soup, you can go now, I’m sure Nick and David are getting lonely without your company,”

He gave them a look that said get lost or I’ll hurt you and they took the hint. Jeff was laughing internally, as he could see it in his face. Whilst Wes also hid back a grin as he hugged Kurt.

Kurt seemed shocked at the contact, especially when Jeff also hugged him.

“Hope you get better soon!” Both boys said as they headed out the door with a wave.

“Can I ask you a question?” Kurt hesitated while Blaine organised his soup to be placed on Kurt’s lap on a tray they were provided with. “Yeah?”

“Are you guys all gay?” Blaine laughed then but the hurt that crossed Kurt’s face made him stop and he instantly added “No, it’s just a non bullying school, everyone gets treated the same, no matter what,”

Kurt looked stunned “Are you hungry?” Kurt’s stomach growled in answer. Blaine laughed as Kurt looked guiltily at him “I guess so,” Blaine opened the lid on the bowl of soup that had been presented to them in a plastic bag. He found a tray in the little kitchen that was connected to his dorm.

Living in a dorm room at Dalton was like having your own small apartment, but cleaner than the ones you would usually see in apartments for sale. It was probably one of the reasons whyit was so expensive.

Blaine organised Kurt and himself a bowl of soup and a sandwich each. He hadn’t eat much and now suddenly he was starving. Kurt managed to eat half a bowl of soup which Blaine was pleased about but he was rapidly blinking as though trying to stay awake. Blaine took the food of him even though Kurt protested “Shh I’m not getting rid of it…I’ll warm it up later, clearly you want to sleep,”

Kurt sighed looking frustrated at himself for being exhausted. “Come on, sleep will do you good,” He gave Kurt more panadol and cough medicine for his fever. Blaine made sure Kurt drank some tea since he knew cold water irritated the throat when it was sore. “Hey Kurt?” Kurt blinked a couple of times 

Kurt was just about to drift of to sleep and Blaine leaned down to whisper again against his lips “Je t’aime Kurt,” He pressed a gentle kiss to his temple. Blaine was sure didn’t hear him because he had closed his eyes and began lightly snoring.
