Blaine tried to protest when Kurt said he had to stay, but he decided against it when he saw how serious Kurt was about him staying. He eyed the water Kurt set down and took a drink from it as Kurt got dressed. Blaine freaked out when Kurt took of his engagement ring, but felt better when he put it around Blaine’s finger. Blaine immediatly began spinning it, listening to Kurt and looking up at him in confusion when he saw a tear and Kurt apologize. He tried to get Kurt’s attention again after he left, but he never got it. He reached for his phone and sent Kurt a text. “Why did you apologize? You didn’t do anything.”
Kurt back looked up at the house before getting into the car, he started it and drove off. He tried to remember the directions from when they left Taylors because hers wasn’t far from town. He heard his phone go off which made him jump, he couldn’t answer it from driving. Kurt didn’t know where he was going and was getting even more worried. His worried decreased the tiniest bit when he saw two figures that looked familiar. He pulled over and got out the car running to them. “Taylor! Jack!” he called.
Blaine didn’t get a reply and figured that Kurt was driving and would answer him later. Blaine sent another text saying “Miss you already :(” and set his phone down on the pillow. He settled back into bed and watched as everyone in potions class was trying to make a pot of something, Blaine’s head hurt to much to remember.
Taylor stopped and looked at the boy running towards her, he looks familiar, she thought to himself.
“Squirt!” Jack shouted happy to see him. Kurt stopped and wiped the tears from his eyes.
“Hey Jack” he smiled weakly at him before looking up seriously at Taylor. Taylor looked down at Jack and then back up at Kurt, Squirt? Oh! Kurt!
“Hi Kurt, what’s going on? Are you okay?” Kurt shook his head.
“Blaine’s really sick and we have nothing to make him better and i don’t know my way around here and its all my fault” he was speaking so fast he wasn’t sure if she caught any of it.

Jack looked up at Squirt in confusion, and ran over to hug his legs. He looked sad. Taylor pushed the hair that had blown in her face and listened as Kurt spoke, stringing all of his words together.
“Kurt, Kurt it’s alright. You couldn’t have gotten Blaine sick if your not sick yourself. What’s wrong with him? Is he okay?” Taylor asked calmy trying to get Kurt to calm down, although she was getting worried too. Jack pulled on the bottom of Squirt’s shirt, trying to get his attention.
“Squirt?Is Blainey sick?” He asked in a small voice, sounding a little scared.
Kurt looked down at the boy attached to his legs and then looked back up at Taylor. “I did get him sick its my fault i did it, he’s burning up and his head… his head is in so much pain. Its horrible, i’m so sorry” Kurt said trying to breathe and not to cry. He felt something pull at his shirt he looked down, he got onto his knee so he was level with Jack and nodded. “Yeah Blainey’s sick” Jack looked really upset and hugged him, Kurt hugged him back tight.
Jack hugged Squirt, who looked like he was about to cry. He looked up at his sister who tapped Kurt’s shoulder to get his attention.
“Kurt, listen to me. What it sounds like he has isn’t contagious, there is no possible way you could’ve given it to him. I want you to stop thinking that, okay?” Taylor said as Jack let go of Kurt and let him stand up to meet him. Taylor pulled Kurt into a hug of her own, Blaine’s boyfriend looked so shook up and worried about him. She pulled away but kept her hands on his shoulders.
“Right. Do you need me to show you how to get to the store? Or do you want to come see what we have at our house to give you?” Taylor asked, and Jack leaned up against Kurt, worried.
“It’s not cooties, is it?” Jack asked the older boy, worried that because he had pointed it out when they were kissing that he had gotten Blainey sick.
Kurt hugged Taylor back, the hug was a lot tighter than the one he’d given Jack. “Can you show me how to get to the store please? I’d rather get our own stuff in than take yours incase someone gets sick at yours” he said he hands still shaking. He looked down at Jack “No its not cooties”

Jack breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Squirt’s legs. “Don’t be sad Squirt. Blainey’s strong. He’ll be all better soon. He’s strong, real strong, and he’s gonna be better” Jack said, trying to make Squirt feel a little bit happier. Taylor looked down at her brother and shook her head, trying to hold back a smile. She looked back up at Kurt, tilting her head as she thought.
“Do you want me to come with you or just give you directions?” Taylor asked Kurt, trying to get Jack off of his legs.
Listening to Jack talk made him cry, he knew he didn’t mean to he just felt so bad. Kurt looked from Taylor to Jack. “Can you show me please? I don’t think i’d be able to remember if you told me”
“Of course I’ll show you, come on.” Taylor said, taking Kurt’s hand and leading him and Jack towards the car. Once she had gotten Jack in the back seat she gave Kurt another hug, noticing that he had began to cry again. “Blaine’s gonna be okay. Don’t worry.” Taylor said as she directed Kurt to the passenger’s seat. There was no way he was going to drive when he was freaking out like that. Taylor slipped into the drivers seat and drove off towards the store, looking over at Kurt to see him on his phone.
Kurt decided to check his phone after he heard his phone go off twice now having the chance to reply. Two messages from Blaine? Must be important if he sent two messages, instantly worrying Kurt. He opened the first message and saw it ask why he apologized and saying that i didn’t do anything wrong. He held in more tears and chose not to answer. Kurt looked at the second message and smiled weakly as it read “Miss you already :(” he replied with “miss you too, hang tight i’ll be back soon, i love you so much”

Blaine was halfway asleep when his phone vibrated. He shook himself completly awake and read the message from Kurt, breaking out into a smile. “I love you too :) its cold over here and my pillows are uncomfortable… still missing you, can you tell?” It took Blaine forever to respond because his head hurt.
Taylor pulled up to the store and looked over to see Kurt smiling at his phone. “Here we are. Jack and I will stay in the car, okay?”
Kurt looked at Taylor and nodded, he put his phone away. He thanked her before getting out of the car and heading into the store. He found everything he needed, including apple juice and soup, paid for them and went back to the car. He also bought some candy for Jack and some flowers for Taylor to say thank you and apologize for being an emotional wreck.
Jack watched as Kurt got out of the car and went inside the store before undoing his seatbelt and scooting over to sit behind Taylor. “Tay? Is…. is Blainey okay? Is Squirt okay? He looked really sad…..” Jack asked, worried. Taylor turned to face her brother and patted him on the back.
“Kurt’s just worried about Blaine, and you and I both know he’ll be okay.” Jack nodded and went back into his seat, buckling up before looking up and seeing Kurt walk back towards the car. He brightened up and smiled when he got in the car. “Squirt!”
Kurt got into the car and gave Jack a small smile giving him the candy he’d brought for him. He gave Taylor an apologetic look giving her the flowers. “Thank you for helping me and sorry for being such an emotional wreck”
Jack grinned and took the candy from Kurt. “Candy! Thanks Squirt!” He said as he immediatly began stuffing the candy in his mouth. Taylor laughed and turned to Kurt, looking surprised when Kurt gave her the flowers. She smiled at Kurt and took them, smelling them before setting them down in his lap.
“It’s nothing. Trust me. And I understand, you were worried about your boyfriend. He’ll be better once he gets you back with him.” Taylor said the last part with a laugh as she began to drive back to her house.
Kurt smiled at Jack as he stuffed his face and then looked at Taylor. “Actually he’s not my boyfriend anymore” he could see her looking confused. “He’s my fiancee, he proposed last night” he found himself grinning widely. He looked down at the empty space on his finger he began to miss Blaine a lot more.

Taylor almost hit the breaks she was so surprised. Blaine drove all the way to Vermont to propose to Kurt? That was the sweetest thing she had ever heard. “Oh my god, tha- that’s amazing!” Taylor said, excited. She almost started jumping up and down in her seat when they heard Jack from the back.
“Yeah, Blainey told me he was going to. I didn’t know what it meant and he said it meant they were going to be together forever. I said forever would be a long time… but Blaine didn’t answer me because Squirt came to play with us.”
Kurt was smiling widely thinking about the proposal last night. “It was like something out of a movie, candles, moonlight, fireflies it was just so amazing. The ring… the ring is beautiful” he twisted the empty space on his finger, he knew what she was going to ask next which was where was the ring? “I gave it to Blaine while i went out, he’s so lonely there and i just wanted him to feel like i was still there” he turned to Jack. “Oh so thats what you were talking about i only caught the end it about the forever part, yeah i’m going to be with Blaine forever so get used to seeing me around” he laughed.
Taylor grinned when Kurt talked about the proposal. That was so Blaine. He would do something like that: drive Kurt all the way to Vermont and have all of those things. She looked at Kurt’s hand when he said the ring was beautiful, but it was empty. She nodded and kept on grinning when Kurt said he gave it to Blaine while he was out. “Kurt… I am seriously about to cry. This is so amazing!” Taylor gushed. She had known Blaine ever since they were both in diapers and now he was getting married. She laughed when Jack told his story and when Kurt turned to face him. “Jack always gets told everything first….” Taylor mumbled to herself, almost at her house.
“Oh please don’t cry i don’t think i could cope with the tears even if they’re happiness” Kurt laughed softly. He heard Taylor mumble. “Well if it makes you feel any better you’re the first person i’ve told, my dad doesn’t even know yet”

Taylor laughed. “Yeah, that makes me feel better in a way. I just mean Blaine tells Jack everything first these days… ” She stopped, Kurt wouldn’t want to hear her stories. Jack recognized where they were and began to get excited. “Home! Almost home!” Jack said excitedly. He was happy to be almost home, but he didn’t want to leave Squirt.
“Well i’ll tell you everything first” He smiled. He loved how Blaine was so close to Jack, two kids together. When Jack got excited about almost being home he made Kurt jump, he turned round to smile at him. He turned back to the front looking out the window thinking about Blaine his smile fading slightly. Poor Blaine stuck in that house by himself in so much pain, tears welled up in his eyes again, he blinked them away before anyone could notice. They had such a good time before he went and ruined it all by making Blaine ill.
Taylor pulled up at her house and turned to Kurt after parking. He looked a little upset. She leaned over and gave him a hug. Taylor pulled away to smile at Kurt. “So this is where we part ways.” She said with a laugh, getting out of the car to give Kurt her seat and help Jack out of Blaine’s car.
Kurt returned the hug and smile weakly. “Thank you Taylor, i’ll see you round. We’ll try and come down some point when Blaine’s better before we go back, if he’s better before we go back” He corrected himself. He watched as she helped Jack out of the car and begin walking to the house, he saw that she’d forgotten the flowers so he picked the up and ran after her. “You forgot these” he said giving them to her, once he gave them to her he gave her another hug before going down to give Jack one.

“If he doesn’t get better we’ll come visit him.” Taylor said with a smile. She began to walk towards the hour with Jack when Kurt ran up and gave her te flowers she forgot. Taylor hugged Kurt longer during the second hug and grinned when he gave Jack a hug. “Give Blaine a kiss for me!” She called out as Kurt walked towards the car, and right after Jack called out at said “Noooo! Cooties!” Taylor laughed and led her brother back into the house as Kurt drove away.
Blaine had moved down to the couch so he could greet Kurt when he walked through the door. He had curled up with a blanket and was laying down, staring at the ceiling, and playing his ukulele while he waited. He would’ve played his guitar, but he couldn’t lay down with that
Kurt almost got lost on the way back but managed to get there in the end. He took the shopping bag out of the car and walked to the door, he opened it and saw Blaine on the couch. “Hey what are you doing down here? You should be in bed, preferably sleeping” he said before going to the kitchen.
Blaine sat up when Kurt walked through the door and shrugged when he asked why he wasn’t in bed. “I wanted to see you as soon as you got back.” He said simply as Kurt went into the kitchen. His head was hurting more, and he let it fall backwards on the arm rest of the couch, closing his eyes as he did.
Kurt came back out to see Blaine’s head resting on the arm rest with his eyes closed. “And now you’ve seen me so go on back upstairs” he ordered walking over to him, he helped Blaine up and practically carried him up the stairs, it reminded him of when Blaine was drunk. He put Blaine back on the bed and helped him get relatively comfortable before kissing the top of his head and heading towards the door. “I’ll be right back, stay there”
Blaine did as Kurt asked and smiled up at him as he helped him get to the bed. Once he was all comfortable Kurt gave him a kiss on the head, making it feel better for a tiny bit, before he left the room again. Blaine settled into the bed and found the remote, rewinding the movie back to where it was before he got sick.

Kurt went downstairs and into the kitchen, he got out the soup he brought and started to heat that up, he got out the juice and poured it into a glass before finally getting out the medicine and taking out the right dosage for Blaine. He decided to make some toast for Blaine incase he was actually sick. Once the soup was ready he put them all on a tray and carried them up the stairs, he pushed the door open with his back and carried the tray to the bed putting it down on Blaine’s lap before sitting on the edge of the bed beside him.
Blaine waited patiently for Kurt to come back to him, playing with the ring on his finger. He would need to give that back to Kurt soon. Blaine lifted his gaze when Kurt walked into the room and grinned at the tray of things set down on his lap. “Thanks.” Blaine said, reaching for the medicine first. He had been in pain for long enough and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. Once he took that he slipped the ring off of his finger and handed it back to Kurt. “Here. It reminded me of you, but I still missed you like crazy.”
Kurt took the ring back and put it back on his finger and smiled. “I missed you too, sorry i was so long i bumped into Jack and Taylor, oh that reminds me” he leaned in and gave him a soft kiss. “Thats from Taylor” he kissed him again with a bit more than the first kiss. “And thats from me” he smiled. “Now i got you your favourite soup, lots of apple juice and bread for toast”
Blaine smiled when Kurt kissed him the first time. Taylor, he needed to tell her he proposed. He already told Jack. Blaine broke into a full grin when Kurt kissed him with more the second time, saying it was from him. He looked down at the tray, nodding as Kurt spoke. “Apple juice…..” Blaine said as he picked it up and took a long sip. “I rewinded the movie for you.” Blaine said as he set the apple juice down and began to eat the soup Kurt made him.

Kurt moved back and sat beside him. “Thank you, oh i hope you don’t mind i told Taylor about the proposal. She called you my boyfriend and i had to correct her” he smiled. He watched as Blaine began to eat the soup, glad he was eating and drinking. “How are you feeling? I’ve been going out of my mind worrying about you” he stroked his hair gently as not to hurt his head.
Blaine scooted himself closer to Kurt, but not very close. He didn’t know if Kurt was worried about getting sick from him, so Blaine accepted the fact that snuggling was going to be limited to none. “No of course I don’t mind. You just beat me to it.” Blaine said with a laugh when Kurt said he had told Taylor about the proposal. He smiled when Kurt stroked his hair, and closed his eyes, letting out a breath through his nose, when he was asked how he felt. “I feel like there is a person inside my brain repeatingly hitting it with a mallet. And my body can’t seem to decide if it freezing or sweating from the heat.”
Kurt moved his hand out of Blaine’s hair when he said his head felt like someone was hitting him with a mallet. His guilt was back as Blaine finished telling him how he was feeling, he began twisting the ring around his finger before motioning for Blaine to continue to eat. He looked up and watched the movie, keeping quiet so he didn’t hurt Blaine’s head and giving him some time to eat in peace.
Blaine opened his eyes and pouted slightly when Kurt took his hand off of his hair after he said how he was feeling. Maybe Blaine’s thoughts were right, Kurt was worried about getting himself sick. Blaine kept eating the soup when Kurt motioned for him to, his head suddenly starting to hurt alot more. Blaine watched the movie with Kurt, having a hard time concentrating.
Kurt lay back on the bed his back resting against the headboard. He mainly watched Blaine but every so often he looked at the tv. He was not worried about himself getting sick he just didn’t want Blaine to be in anymore pain. He could see a flash of pain across Blaine’s face, he leaned forward to look at him. “Are you okay?”
Blaine shook his head, his eyes closing. “Mallet.” He said, pointing towards his head. He set the spoon down and started feeling around on the bed for something. When he found what he was looking for, Kurt’s hand, he interlocked their fingers and gave Kurt’s hand a squeeze. Blaine’s eyes opened again and he looked over at Kurt, meeting his gaze.
