Kurt had fled the room as soon as the gun shot rang out, he ran down the stairs just in time to see Blaine falling to the ground. He screamed his name, for a moment he thinks hes been shot and he falls to his knees beside him.
He starts to ask if hes alright Blaine doesnt say anything, his eyes falling closed.
Everything felt like it was buzzing around him and suddenly Blaine was being moved away from him, he reached out trying to stop whoever it was from taking him, people were trying to talk to him but he couldnt understand what they were saying.
Tears fell from his eyes and he felt himself falling backwards, strong arms wrapped around him a familiar voice yelled his name.
He closed his eyes too tired to keep them open, letting himself fall into the darkness.
….
Opening his eyes he squinted as his eyes got used to the bright light that filled the room he was in. He knew this was the hospital, considering he hadnt got out it long ago he remembered the uncomfortable bed he was lying in.
"Kurt?" A voice next made him turn his head. He felt his dad grab his hand.
"Dad," he said pushing himself into the sitting position. He groaned a slight ache in his neck from where he had been choked.
"Be careful son," his dad said lightly patting him on the shoulder.
"Im fine, wheres Blaine? Was he shot?" He asked not caring about anything else.
"Blaines fine just a small bump on the back of his head and he wasnt shot, he just passed out like you," his dad explained.
He nodded. "I want to see him," he said climbing off the bed. He was still in his own clothes so they were obviously just waiting for him to wake up.
"Whoa son, youve just woken up," his dad said standing and running around the bed taking hold of him.
"Im fine, I just want to see Blaine," he said moving out of his dads grip and towards the door. His dad followed close behind. "What room is he in?" He asked and Burt stepped in front of him and led the way.
His dad stopped outside a room not far from his own. "Are you ok going in on your own?" his dad asked him and he nodded. "Ill be waiting nearby if you need anything".
He gave his dad a weak smile as he disappeared and turned to the door. He pushed the handle taking a breath and walked in.
Blaine still hadnt woken yet, though he didnt really know how long hed been out.
He walked to the side of the bed, sitting in the empty chair that was placed next to it.
"Hey, Blaine," he said though he knew that he probably couldnt hear him. "I see they put a better bandage on your head," he said with a sad giggle. Blaine looked so vulnerable, even though he was safe.
He moved his hand and traced the bruise that was forming on the side of Blaines face; there was a thought in the back of his head that told him that he could have stopped it. He knew he couldnt but there was a nagging feeling that made him think that he could have stopped it.
Blaines face moved turning into his hand like he was looking for comfort.
"Blaine?" He said and Blaines eyes flickered open.
"Kurt, I knew it was you," Blaine said with a smile.
"You did?" He asked a little confused.
"Yeah, who else would come to see me? And who else would touch my face that way?" Blaine said grabbing onto his hand.
He looked to the ground not sure what to say but Blaine gave his hand a comforting squeeze.
"Youll never be alone again Blaine," he whispered looking up into Blaine eyes.
"I know," Blaine smiled lightly pulling on Kurts arm, pulling him in for a kiss. As soon as their lips touched electricity ran through him.
"Youre so good at that," he murmured his forehead pressing against Blaines.
"I thought that was you," Blaine smiled.
Just as they about to kiss again the door to the room opened. He turned as a couple of officers walked towards the bed.
"Mr Anderson?" One of the officers asked and Blaine nodded. "Were sorry to hear about what happened and both of your parents have been arrested, your mother for neglect and letting your father do what he did to you before the incident." One of the officers explained. "Mr Hummel has offered to take you in and the paper work has gone through, when you leave here you will live with them, do you have any questions?" The officer finished and looked at them both.
He was feeling something between excited and confused, why hadnt his dad told him that Blaine was going to come and live with them earlier?
They both shook their heads and the officers left the room, leaving them alone again.
"But your dad hates me," Blaine said looking up at him.
"Blaine, my dad doesnt hate you," he said pushing the curls that had fallen onto Blaines face from his forehead placing a kiss there. "He was just confused; he wanted to help me find you. He was worried about you just like I was," he continued trying to comfort him.
"He was?" Blaine said and he nodded.
"Listen Blaine, if my dad hated you then he wouldnt be willing to adopt you, would he?" he said.
"I guess not, I just dont want to intrude in on your family".
He shook his head. "Blaine you are my family," he said and Blaine looked up at him with wide eyes.
"I love you," Blaine said making his heart flutter just as it had the first time he told him.
"I love you too," he replied.
….
The made Blaine stay in the hospital for a couple more house just to keep an eye on his head before they let him come home.
As they lead him into the house he could feel how nervous he was.
"Welcome home Blaine," his dad said and he saw that Blaine visually calmed after that.
He hadnt had a clue that his dad had had this planned ever since he had found out Blaine was homeless.
"Thank you sir, for everything," Blaine said bowing his head.
"No problem son, just call me Burt," his dad said and Blaine nodded a small smile playing on his lips.
"Why dont I show you to your room," he said with a smile and Blaine turned to him nodding.
Blaine followed him up the stairs and he led him to his own room, he pushed open the door and walked inside. He heard Blaine gasp behind him as they walked in.
His room hand been divided into two sides and Blaine had his own furniture and bed.
"My dad said if he finds us in the bed together at any time then one of us will have to sleep on the couch for a week, but other than that this is going to be awesome," he said.
"This is too much," Blaine said wrapping his arms around his waist. He snuggled into them, leaning his head back to kiss Blaine on the cheek.
"Nothing is too much for you," he said and Blaine groaned like he didnt agree.
"I love you Kurt Hummel," Blaine said and he grinned.
"I love you too, Blaine Anderson," he replied.
