Kurt went down to get the pizza from the gate while he unzipped his sleeping bag and laid it on the ground for them to sit on.
He was oddly glad that Kurt had stayed with him; he wore the first genuine smile that hed had for a long time.
He was still having trouble trusting him, but he had trouble trusting anyone nowadays. But there was a feeling deep inside that made him want to trust Kurt, that he would make everything ok.
"Hey," Kurt said as he walked back towards him.
He sat down gesturing for Kurt to do the same, Kurt handed him a pizza box and they began to eat, it was the first proper meal that hed had in a while which made it taste twice as good.
"I slept here last night and you wont believe how uncomfortable it was, if you want to change your mind about staying here then thats fine," he said taking another bite of pizza.
"I told you I wasnt going to leave you here by yourself," Kurt said.
He nodded. "Why do you want to help me?" he whispered.
"Youre a good person Blaine, you just need someone to point you in the right direction," Kurt replied.
"And you think you can do that?"
"Look Blaine, I cant make you do anything but I just want you to see that Im here for you, that you can talk to me," Kurt said and he looked to the floor .
"Youre gay right?" He asked looking back up into Kurts eyes.
"Um yeah," Kurt said looking embarrassed. "You dont have a problem with that do you?" Kurt continued and he almost choked on the bite of pizza that he had in his mouth.
"No, no," he said debating on whether to tell him that he was gay, deciding that now wasnt the right time.
"Good because that could have been awkward," Kurt grinned.
He smiled moving the pizza box to one side and laid on his back, he looked up at the trees barley being able to see the stars through them.
He heard Kurt shifting on the sleeping bag probably lying down next to him. He didnt have a clue what the time was but he was exhausted.
He closed his eyes turning onto his side; it didnt take long before he drifted to sleep.
….
There was a small noise and he woke opening his eyes, it was still pitch black outside telling him that it wasnt near morning yet.
He rolled over and looked at Kurt; he had wrapped his arms around himself and was shivering lightly. He would have woke him up but he look peaceful as he slept.
He pushed himself to his feet as quietly as he could before grabbing his side of the stretched out sleeping bag and draped it over Kurt so that he was covered.
He hope that it would make Kurt a little warmer, considering he was the reason that Kurt was here it was the least he could do.
He laid down on the dry mud trying to get into a comfortable position, fearing that there wouldnt be one he just settled and closed his eyes drifting back to sleep.
….
"Blaine". He heard Kurts voice and he opened his eyes squinting at the sun that managed to make its way through the trees above.
He uncurled out of the position that he had ended up in, noticing that the sleeping bag was now covering him, and looked at Kurt who was standing above him.
"Yeah?" He croaked sitting up.
"Sorry, I wasnt going to wake you up but youve been sleeping for a while and the floor cant be good for your back," Kurt explained and he nodded.
"Thats fine," he replied stretching his body.
"Thanks for what you did for me last night though," Kurt said fiddling with his fingers.
"What?" He said his memory a little cloudy.
"Covering me, you didnt have to do that," Kurt reminded him.
"Oh that, dont worry about it," he said climbing to his feet and brushing himself down.
"So what do you want to do today?" Kurt asked and his eyes widened.
"You want to spend the day with me?" He asked confused.
"Oh, not if you dont want, Im crowding you and I dont mean to but I worry about you," Kurt replied.
"You dont need to worry about me Kurt, Im a big boy," he said grabbing his sleeping bag starting to roll it up.
"I know, its ok Ill leave, you have my number if you need me," Kurt continued.
He nodded. "Thanks for everything, Ill see you around," he said and Kurt smiled before walking to the fence disappearing into the trees.
It was extremely quiet without Kurt, but he had to show him that he was fine on his own. He pushed the sleeping bag into the even smaller bag that it came with before sitting against his tree.
…..
He spent practically the whole day with his phone in his hand bored out of his mind, it was starting to get dark when he finally got the courage to type Kurts number into his phone and write him a text.
Hey, its Blaine I dont want to sleep out here again, is it cool to take up your offer from yesterday?
He took a breath before pressing send, he was still terrified about going to Kurts but his back was killing him from sleeping on the ground for the past two nights and he was hoping that if he were to go to Kurts that he could have a shower.
A couple minutes went past before his phone buzzed.
Yeah of course! Ill send you the address, do you want me to come to you or can you find your own way?-K
A second later the address came through; luckily he knew where it was.
I can find my own way there, thank you –B
He grabbed his bag full of clothes and his sleeping bag, he was glad that he had changed clothes earlier so he looked moderately presentable.
He stomach ached, he didnt really want to do this but he didnt feel like he had much of a choice. He didnt know what to do.
He shoved his bags through the hole in the fence before crawling through himself, walking across the field.
