Blaine hadn't really figured it out yet, mostly running around it in circles on a constant basis, or trying to bite the side of it and drag it around the room, only to find he was too small to do so.
But when bed time rolled around, Burt picked Blaine up, setting him in the bed. "Stay." he said softly.
Kurt had a bed as well, but it was only used during the day for cat naps, and usually not even then. He enjoyed sleeping in other places like the closet, on Burt's clothes or in his hats, or on the ironing board if it was left out.
Part of him thought it was funny to not use the bed because he knew Burt would sigh and ask why he spent all that money on a bed that his cat never used...
But the other part liked sleeping in those other places more, because they all smelled like Burt, and when Burt was away, he missed him. The smell was comforting.
Kurt didn't think anything of it when he walked right passed his own bed and hopped onto Burt's as Burt brushed his teeth in the bathroom.
"Boy, you sure do have a big bed."
"Well, I share it with my owner." Again with my and not our.
"Who do I share with?"
"Nobody, you get that bed all to yourself."
"Wow, my own bed..."
Kurt couldn't help but notice the tone Blaine used. Usually he got so excited when he found out he had his own things, like he had with his toys earlier, but this time... if Kurt didn't know any better, he'd say Blaine sounded disappointed.
As Burt came out of the bathroom he climbed into bed, falling asleep pretty quickly. Kurt fell asleep too on his usual spot on the pillow next to Burt.
It was a while before he woke up to whimpering.
He raised his head tiredly, letting out a yawn before stretching and walking to the end of the bed.
"Blaine?"
It got quiet.
"Blaine? Are you okay? Do you need something?"
"No."
"Do you need to go out?"
"No."
"Do you need a drink?"
"No."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I don't know, I do this every night."
"But, what about sleep?"
"I have trouble sleeping, I don't really get that much sleep."
"Oh." Kurt said sadly, frowning.
"Did I wake you up? I'm sorry."
"That's okay... what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong."
"Something's got to be wrong, or you wouldn't be crying."
"Well... I'm lonely."
"But my owner and I are right here, why are you lonely?"
"Well, yeah, but you're all on that bed together. I'm in this bed all alone."
"Oh, well come up here."
"You mean, I'm allowed to?" There he went again, raising his ears, tilting his head, and being adorable.
"Sure, come on."
Blaine raced over to the bed, hopped a few times, only to realize he couldn't jump high enough.
"I can't do it." Blaine said, sounding defeated as he hung his head.
Kurt looked around a moment before frowning. He didn't know how to get Blaine onto the bed, he was too small to jump up alone.
"How about this." Kurt started, Blaine looked up again.
"Tomorrow night, I'll make sure my owner picks you up and puts you on the bed so you can sleep with us."
Blaine smiled. "Okay!"
"And as for tonight, I'll sleep with you in your bed."
"Really? You'd do that for me?"
"Sure. It's just one time... and it is your first night here."
"Wow! Thanks, Kurt! You're the best!"
Kurt smiled. "Yeah, I know."
He hopped off the bed and walked over to Blaine's dog bed, climbing in.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Well, it's not as comfortable as the laundry basket, but it'll do."
Kurt curled up in a ball in the corner of the bed, closing his eyes.
Only to open them again when Blaine pressed up against his side, cuddling up to him completely.
He looked at Blaine, a surprised expression on his face as Blaine simply rested his head on Kurt and closed his eyes.
"Goodnight, Kurt."
Blaine raised an ear.
"Kurt?"
He opened his eyes and looked at Kurt, who still looked surprised.
"What?" He asked before blinking. "Oh... I'm sorry... do you want me to move to the other side of the bed?"
Kurt shook his head. "No, that's okay, you can stay here."
Blaine smiled. "Okay! Night!"
Kurt smiled and let his head fall again, closing his eyes and cuddling up to Blaine a bit more.
"Goodnight, Blaine."
