1. Entwine
Dr. Blaine Anderson was sitting in the Room 6 of the ER, feeling boring. Yes, he chose to go to medical school simply because his first guy crush was George Clooney, aka Dr. Ross on ER. However, it turns out that the real life is nothing like that in TV, you dont have those exciting stories in a real hospital every day, like today, not a patient for the surgery department and the only thing could entertain him is watching the physician busy working in the Room 5, which was on the opposite of Room 6. That physician had pale skin and water blue eyes which would beam when he smiles, and Blaine was very curious about the whole look under the mask. Another thing Blaine was wondering is whether he was wearing the same doctors overall offered by the hospital as himself, because his looked so neat and well-ironed, there was no way the workers could do such a good job.
"The rays coming from your eyes gonna burn him down!" A giggle followed by a hand waving in front of his eyes interrupts Blaines observation.
"Oh God, Santana, you are still here!"
"Like I want to," That Mexican girl rolled her eyes, "You are the one who called me, remember? Ok, now I give your boyfriend back��Oh, he is still checking that wound in the mirror. I dont know why you call me in the first place, actually, it was a tiny wound, you could handle it��"
Alright, he nearly forgot it. "Im so sorry. I told him I can handle it, but he insisted a plastic surgeon. He said his entire performing career was relying on that face. "
"Yeah, I get it. Your gays are always so dramatic. And of course if I were made of plastic, Id get a plastic surgeon to sew my wound." She rolled her eyes again, "Ok, Id rather leave now, remember to remind him to take off the suturing a week later."
"What? I still need to take off the suturing? Will it hurt? Will it be an ugly scar?" A high pitch voice came from the back.
Blaine turned his head back, it was Sebastian. "Relax, Seb, It wont hurt and it will barely be seen a week later. You will still have your perfect face, honey��"
"Are you two done flirting?" A cold voice came from the front.
"Ah, sorry" Blaine looked up and felt his heart skip a beat when his eyes met those water blue ones. The guy standing in front of his desk was that physician in the Room 5. Blaine searched for the name brand in his chest, "Dr��Hummel? Whats up?" He quickly waved goodbye to his boyfriend and turned back.
"Well, I believe this patient belongs to you, " That tall skinny doctor handed over a case history folder to Blaine the same time moved his own mask to the jaw.
God, he is so beautiful! Blaine was stunned. His boyfriend, Sebastian, was a handsome guy with those actor friends around. He thought he was used to those beautiful people, but this one was so different. His porcelain skin looked so vulnerable yet his eyes so firm and full of ego��
"Are you even listening to me? Dr. Anderson?" Those eyes looked furious now.
"Sorry, " Blaine was now hating himself, WHAT AM I DOING? FOCUS, BLAINE ANDERSON!
"Well, Ill say it one more time," Kurt sigh, why on earth does he have to work with such an anthomaniac person who is apparently obsessed with that gaudy guy? "This patient is a 36-year-old woman who is suffered from up-abdomens pain for two days. The nurse thought she was gastroenteritis and gave her to us. But later the ultrasound shows bilestones."
"Any fever?"
"103F on top"
"What about the CBC?"
"The WBC is higher with a right shift."
"OK��" Blaine leafed through the fold and nod, "So you think its a biliary tract infection?"
"Yes, and we should exclude ACST"
"Yep, couldnt agree more", Blaine closes the fold, "OK, Ill take it over." The he flashed one of his trademark smiles, hoping the physician would forgive his former rudeness.
"Fine." Kurt turned back immediately, with no expression.
It was such a long day.
Kurt sank himself in the bubble tub and felt, for the first time, so grateful for his roommate Rachels boyfriend, Broody. Although he had some weird behavior, like walking around nude in this department, but now he could take Rachel to his own dorm and left this whole department to Kurt, which was exactly he needed now.
It gets really cold in New York now. Yes, it is December now. Oh god, is it Christmas only two weeks later? Kurt spooned up some water with his hands to wash his face, smirked to himself. I used to love Christmas so much and now I just curse the cold weather that brings extra patients.
Kurt lied back to the tub, staring at the ceiling of the bathroom. Why on earth Im lying here? Why I came from Lima to New York? Ambitions. Yes, he knew he didnt belong to Ohio since he was eight and was eager to leave that small town from then on. But after 6 years in this metropolis, sometimes he still felt like Crocodile Dundee and find himself in those dear God in heaven how did I get here situations, like today, a tired body with an empty home, a department, to be exactly, not a home.
Kurt closed his eyes, decided to take the time to think over all his patients. It is one of his habits, he will review his patients situation and his own treatment again in his mind before sleep to see if there is any mistake or anything needed to be improved.
Nira, that little girl, no fever today, maybe she could be released tomorrow��And Marina, transferred to surgeons��Oh, that surgeon guy, one of those guys seemed so fit in this city. I bet he comes from a rich family. Look at his Armani shoes��Yeah, maybe thats why he didnt take his job so serious. Flirting with your boyfriend at work? Really? Kurt shook his head, knowing that sometimes he was too strict to the surroundings due to his perfectionism. But he do have attractive eyes with a color of honey brown, and those eyelashes��Oh God, Kurt, stop, he already has a boyfriend and you were pretty mad at him early this day.
Kurt stood up and let the freeze cool his body and mind a little, then reached for the towel. How I wish you were here by my side, Adam.

Blaine looked up to the clock on the wall. 10 to 6o clock. Thank God, only 10 minutes left for his shift. He was already starving.
Then the phone rang. "Doctor, youve got a new patient, male, 27, ankle injured 30 minutes ago, sent by the ambulance, and now is coming to your room."
Blaine sighed, stood up and heard the sound of the wheelchair.
"Dr. Hummel?" Blaine inhaled, "What happened?"
The man in the wheelchair blushed, which amused Blaine a little. Hes so cute. "Well��long story, anyway, I was dancing on the table with high heels, and I fell down��"
"Umm��So you fell down from a table, with��Wh...What? "Blaine was busy writing the case history, and looked up with the unbelievable look.
The embarrassed man blushed even more, "Go laughing if you want," he sighed, "You see, I sort of have a band, we were doing some Lady Gaga songs and I thought dancing on the furniture could be fun, and it turned out like this." He pointed his ankle.
Though knowing it was unprofessional, Blaine still couldnt help laughing out, "Ok, my dancing queen, Im gonna check your ankle and it gonna hurt a little��Well, it is a little severe, we need an X-ray first to see if any fracture is involved."
"OK" Kurt nodded.
"Do you have any accompanies?"
"��No, Im all alone, my roommate is out town."
Blaine checked time again, "Dont worry, my shift is over, I can go now. I will send you to do the exam and send you home."
"Oh, dont bother, I can wheel home myself��"
"Dont be silly," Blaine interrupted, "Let me drive you home, I dont have any plan tonight, anyway."
"Dont you need to accompany your boyfriend?"
"Sebastian?" Blaine raised his eyebrow, "No, he is in Los Angeles now, filming something god know what is it."
"Um��" Kurt hesitated, yesterdays lonely scene flashbacked, with an injured ankle, being alone is not a good option after all. He sighed, "If it is not too much trouble for you��"
"Not at all," Blaine smiled, trying to remove the shy boys worry, "Come on, lets go." Then he started to push the wheelchair.
��
"Umm��no cracks," Blaine checked the X-ray through the light, "It is just a sprain. Ill give you some ibuprofens and you need to rest your right foot for 2 weeks. "
"So, not so bad." Kurt released," Dr. Anderson, thank you."
"Youre welcome, and call me Blaine, please. Now, wait me for a minute, Ill go changing my clothes."
Five minutes later, Blaine rushed back, "Sorry kept you waiting."
Kurt shook his head, "Im the one who should be sorry for causing so much trouble." He glanced at Blaines outfit, a red checked bowtie, a purple coat, and a skintight light yellow trousers? Kurt laughed, what a weird fashion taste?
"Ha, you smile, thought youd never smile to me," Blaine opened the gate of the ER and held for Kurt to wheel outside.
"Sorry for being cold to you yesterday," Kurt blushed again, "I thought you were irresponsible, but it was just my prejudgments."
"Then we are even now, I thought you are stone-hearted yesterday." Blaine stretched his hand to Kurt to help him get into the car.
Kurt held Blaines hand, he could feel some calluses in the fingertips, but the palm was very soft and warm. For 3 years, finally someone was giving him the feeling of warm. "Umm, do you play guitar or something?"
Blaine started the engine, turning to Kurt with the how-do-you-know look.
"Its your calluses of your fingers, so I guess."
"Oh, that, I do play guitar," Blaine explained, "I love music. Although, Im more into Katy than Gaga."
Kurts eyes widened, "Maybe we could cooperate in the future?"- God, he is perfect, Kurt. But he is already taken. -That thought somewhat ached Kurts heart a bit.
"Sure." Blaine looked back to the road, trying to disguise his ecstasy.
��
"Wow��it is a huge department," Blaine pulled open the big door of Kurts attic.
"Um��Yes, this is the benefit you get from living far from uptown."
"So, you must wanna take a bath first, let me set it for you, where is it?"
"There, "Kurt pointed the direction. "Thank you. "
Blaine opened the water tap and tried the temperature. "You dont have to thank me every time��Kurt. I love taking care of sick people, thats one of my guilty pleasure."
"Um, so thats the reason you became a doctor?"
"One of many." Blaine wiped his hand dry. "Do you have anything to eat? You should take some food before you take the ibuprofen, otherwise it will damage your stomach."
"You dont have to explain to me," Kurt smiled, "Im a doctor, too, remember? I knew the side effect of NSAID."
Blaine scratched his head, "Sorry, I always treat people like they are patients."
"You dont have to," Kurt laughed," Its an occupational disease, I have that too. For the food, I made some sushi this afternoon, you can find them in the fridge."
"You can make sushi? Who are you? Mr. Perfection?" Blaine opened the fridge. "Your girlfriend must be really lucky."
"Um, boyfriend, actually. That girl," Kurt pointed Rachaels photos on the shelf, "She is just my BFF." Kurt received the sushi plate handed by Blaine, then he heard a growling. "What is that?"
Blaine blushed, "Its my stomach. I havent eaten anything since noon."
"Oh, come on, try some sushi, you are not allergic to seafood, right?" Seeing Blaine shaking his head, Kurt chose a salmon sushi and handed to Blaine.
"Yummy, they are even better than they look." Blaine took another one from Kurt, "So, where is your boyfriend now? At work?"
"Um, not exactly," Kurt looked down to the floor, biting his lower lip.
"Ah, I can hear the water coming out of the tub", Blaine rushed to the bathroom.
Kurt heard the sound of water stopped.
"Its ready." Blaine appeared again. "Do you wanna take the bath now?"
Kurt nodded.
Blaine supported Kurt by the arm and headed for the bathroom.
"I��I can do it by myself now, thanks." Kurt blushed.
"No, Im not gonna take the risk to let you break your other leg. It is so slippy here." Blaine frowned, "Come on, no need to be shy. Im a doctor, remember? "
"O��OK��" Kurt felt his face was burning when Blaine unbuttoned his clothes, and his heart was racing so fast that he thought he was gonna have a heart failure.
Blaine took off Kurts pants really carefully, trying not to touch the hurt ankle. He tried his best not to stare at Kurts flawless skin, although when Kurt was totally naked, he still felt dizzy at that pale color. He lifted Kurt up gently and put him in the hot tub while Kurt was hide his face in his shoulder.
"Um��So��Ill leave you here. When you finish, just call me, OK?"
"Umm." Kurt nodded, trying to hide his body in the tub as much as possible.
Blaine shut down the bathrooms door, leaned on the door and cupped his own face. -Damn, why I feel so turned on? Should be used to the male body, after all those years at the football team and the medical school and the hospital��Calm down. Blaine Anderson, dont screw it up, you wanna be a friend with him.-
Blaine approached to the living room, poured himself a glass of cool water and turned on the TV. However, he couldnt focus on the screen instead of listening to the sound of the bathroom. So, when he caught the voice of "Blaine, could you take my pajama here?" he immediately jumped to the closet and find a pajama there-it was not very difficult to find since Kurts closet was incredible neat.-he picked a silk set with coffee cups pattern on it.
When he opened the door, Kurt was struggling to get the bath towel. Blaine stepped up quickly, "You should wait for me." He used the towel to wrap Kurts torso and dried it.
Kurt was too embraced to say a word when he got his pajama on with the help of Blaine. He hooked his arms in Blaines neck and let him lifted up to the bed.
"Here we go." Blaine put Kurt in the bed and covered him with the blanket. Then a photo on the nightstand caught his eyes: in that photo Kurt was hold by a blonde with a Scottish woolen cap. He was smiling, that smile, which Blaine never seen in Kurt, was full of content and love. "So, h��he is your boyfriend?"
"Yes, Adam is." Kurts face fell and sighed.
"What happed?" Why you look so sad? Blaine wondered.
Kurt hesitated, didnt know if he should tell this guy who only get to know for two days, however, the intuition told him he could trust this guy. "He��he has been in coma for 3 years."
Blaines eyebrow raised. "Wha��Why?"
"It was me��"Kurt closed his eyes and cupped his face. "I hurt him."
