Blaine wasn’t expecting for Kurt to hold out his arm in an invitation to snuggle. He was thinking that was the last thing Kurt wanted to do. Blaine moved the tray off of his lap and scooted his whole body over to snuggle with Kurt. He nestled his head into Kurt’s chest and let one arm wrap around his torso. “”Much better….” Blaine said quietly, a smile forming on his lips.
Kurt smiled as Blaine nestled his head into his chest and wrapped an arm around his torso, he kissed the top of his head before taking the hand that was holding his up to his lips to kiss that. The arm that was wrapped around Blaine gently pulled Blaine in closer rubbing up and down his back. “I’m glad thats better, i wish i could make you completely better i hate seeing my poor baby like this”
As Kurt pulled him closer, Blaine let his legs tangle up with Kurt’s as he snuggled more into his chest. He smiled weakly when Kurt said he hated seeing Blaine like that. “Well if I keep taking my medicine and keep being taken care of by you, I’ll be better in no time. His head had another searing pain, this one longer. The arm around Kurt’s torso gave him a squeeze, and the hand Blaine had received the same squeeze at the same time. Blaine craned his neck upwards to plant a kiss on the underside of Kurt’s chin, it was the only thing he could reach.
Kurt felt the squeezes Blaine was giving him and the kiss on his chin, he smiled a loving smile down at him but his eyes were filled with guilt, worry and concern. “I think you should get some sleep” he said his voice caring. “You look so tired and it might make your head feel better, don’t worry i’m going to stay right here”
“I’m fine….” Blaine said as his eyes fought to stay open. The fight didn’t last very long as Blaine listened to the movie and to Kurt’s breathing, his own breathing steadying as he began to slip into a calm sleep. His head snuggled more into Kurt’s chest as he fell asleep, his head still hurting once he was.
Kurt felt Blaine’s head snuggle more into his chest and his breathing become steady, he knew he was now asleep. He looked up at the tv screen to see Dumbledore, Harry and another man Kurt didn’t know talking, it was Slughorn he later discovered. There were a couple of things that didn’t make sense to him but he just continued watching. His thumb gently stroked Blaine’s hand and his other hand didn’t stop rubbing on Blaine’s arm.
Blaine began to dream as soon as he was asleep. He saw himself in the house in Vermont….. alone. He went from room to room looking for someone, but he was still all alone. Blaine went outside, continuing to look for someone. Outside he saw the bags Kurt had brought with him to Vermont, leading Blaine to believe that Kurt was supposed to be in his dream, but left. Blaine squirmed against Kurt’s chest, not liking this dream.
Kurt felt Blaine squirm against his chest he panicked, he was scared it was a fit and he wouldn’t know how to deal with it. “Hey, hey its okay” he said quietly holding him close, he released the hand that he was holding to wrap around Blaine hugging him.
Blaine kept looking around, heading down the hill in the backyard. He saw the hammock and sat down in it to keep from panicking. Blaine felt someone hold him close from behind and he didn’t even have to turn around to see who it was, he could tell by the familiar ring on the finger that was attached to one of the hands holding him. Blaine broke out into a grin, in the dream and out of it, and the scene shifted to an empty stage.
Kurt was relieved when Blaine stopped squirming, he looked down at him to see him grinning, he breathed a sigh of relief and moved a hand onto his head gently stroking his hair. He looked down at him and gave him a sad smile. “I love you so much my baby i’m so sorry” he whispered before kissing his head.
The empty stage filled with the set and characters of the musical Wicked, it was obviously a rehersal. He saw friends from his old school and a few Warblers among the cast members before being pulled aside by a girl he didn’t know. “Let’s practice before we rehearse this, okay?” Blaine was beyond confused but went along with it as the girl sang her part to ‘As Long as You’re Mine’. He jumped in and took Fiyero’s part, glancing down at the script and cast list in her hand to see that he was going to be playing Fiyero.
Blaine had gone quiet for a bit now, Kurt assumed his dreams were now good so he turned back the the movie playing, the Weasleys were calling up and down the stairs to each other talking about whether Harry was in the house or not. Ron and Harry looked very different from the fourth one they looked so much older and their hair was better now Kurt didn’t want to cut it off whenever he saw them.
Once the song was over, the girl closed the script and then giggled. There was also more giggling from behind him, and Blaine turned around and saw that the singing had drawn a crowd of the girls in the cast. Why were they giggling? He was uncomfortable, and it showed on his face outside of the dream. “Hi Blaine.” Some of the girls said before breaking out into giggles again, making him even more uncomfortable…. did they know he was gay? Wes walked up and slung an arm aroud Blaine shoulders and grinning that mischievous grin of his. “Wow Blaine. First day of rehersal and you’ve already gotten all the girls smitten over you.”
Kurt looked back down at Blaine who looked uncomfortable, he didn’t know if it was his dream, or Kurt’s chest or his illness. He would have tried to make Blaine more comfortable if he could move but Blaine was heavier than him. Blaine’s face still read uncomfortable, Kurt wished he knew what was making him so uncomfortable.
Blaine rolled his eyes and waved as he walked off with Wes. More giggling.
“I don’t think they know what team you’re on….” Wes teased as Blaine went to join the Warblers.
“Guess not.” He replied, still a bit uncomfortable. It was Vermont all over again. An older woman pulled Blaine aside again and told him to change his shirt, and Blaine groaned. He didn’t want to, especially with all of those giggling girls. The woman gave him a death glare, Blaine had now worked out she was the assisant director, and Blaine was afraid what would happen if he didn’t oblige. He slipped his shirt over his head and waited for the woman to hand him a new shirt. The assistant director looked around and said that one of the girls in that group had it and Blaine was to get it from her. He groaned again but made his way towards the group of girls.
Kurt thought he still looked uncomfortable so he tried to do his best to make Blaine as comfortable as he could, it was hard. He heard Blaine groan, he looked down at him puzzled his eyebrow raised when he heard it again.
Blaine walked up to the girls, now shirtless, and he didn’t even have to try to get their attention. “Hey. Which one of you girls has the shirt I need?” He asked, hearing the Warblers behind him whistle. Blaine turned around and shot them a glare before turning back and taking a shirt from one of the girls. He smiled in thanks and the giggling picked up again. Blaine put on his shirt as he joined the Warblers again, who were all laughing. “Wait until Kurt finds out.” The scene shifted again and Blaine no longer looked uncomfortable.
Kurt made them both more comfortable on the bed and as soon as he did the uncomfortableness disappeared, he held Blaine close to him never wanting to let go. He stopped stroking Blaine’s head for a second to kiss it and then resumed in its stroking.
The scene was now darkness, his dreams were over. Blaine woke up then, opening his eyes and looking up at Kurt, who was holding him close. His head still hurt, but the short nap made him feel slightly better. Kurt hadn’t noticed that Blaine had woken up so when Kurt looked down at him he shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Blaine’s free arm joined the other one and wrapped around Kurt’s torso as he “slept”.
Kurt felt Blaine’s free arm join the other one in wrapping around his torso, he gently continued to stroke Blaine’s hair playing with little bits as he did. He looked down at him with sad eyes, he kissed his head again but with his lips still against it he said quietly “i love you so much” he tilted his head and rested his cheek on it. Kurt wasn’t feeling as tired as he did earlier on but he closed his eyes so he could listen to the sounds around him, mainly Blaine’s breathing.
Blaine opened his eyes when Kurt kissed the top of his head and grinned when he said he loved him. Blaine gave Kurt’s shirt a kiss before saying “I love you more.” He turned his head to look up at Kurt and gave him a smile despite how much his head hurt. “Good morning beautiful.” Blaine said sleepily, snuggling more against Kurt as he spoke.
Kurt opened his eyes and lifted his head off Blaine’s smiling at him. “Hey there, how are you feeling? You any better?” his hand went back to stroking his hair as Blaine snuggled more into him.
Blaine let one of his legs intertwine with Kurt’s, and he used his foot to stroke Kurt’s foot as he spoke. “A little bit. I think the medicine is kicking in.” Blaine said, repositioning his head so that his chin rested against Kurt’s chest, allowing Blaine to look up at him with a small smile. “Did I talk in my sleep this time?”
Kurt felt one of Blaine’s leg intertwine with his and begin stroking his foot, he smiled. “Thats good you’re getting there, did you talk? No, no talking just squirming, a couple of grins and you looked uncomfortable”
“Uncomfortable? Yeah, I had this one dream that was pretty uncomfortable…” Blaine said with a laugh. He decided it was better not to say the first dream, so he stuck with explaining the second one. “Basically, I was going to be in Wicked as Fiyero, and I was at a rehersal. Some of the Warblers were there, strangely enough. Anyways, I had to practice the ‘As Long as You’re Mine’ song, and I drew this crowd…. of girls.” Blaine said the last part with a small shiver. “They wouldn’t stop giggling whenever I said something…. and then I had to change shirts in front of them, with one of the girls in that group holding it for me. Meaning I had to walk up to them and ask for the shirt while shirtless.”
Kurt raised his eyebrows listening to the dream, he felt Blaine shiver so he pulled the covers over him. “You drew a crowd of girls? And you had to walk up to one of them shirtless? Wow they had a treat, they would have a fit if they discovered you are gay and is actually in an amazing relationship”
“A better than amazing relationship.” Blaine said with a smille. “Did you know that I actually had to go through something like that, up here in Vermont? I mean, one summer the girls couldn’t stand this dork but the next they practically worshiped me. It’s not the most pleasant thing….”
“Well from what i hear the girls still worship you and fail to believe you’re actually gay. I can imagine it not being the most pleasant thing but hey at least people actually wanted you even if they were the wrong gender” Kurt shrugged. “And whoever doesn’t love this dork is crazy because he is the most lovable, cutest and the most sweetest thing on the planet” he smiled.
“Still? Oh great…. I think they think I made it up that I am gay so I don’t have to date any of them. Even Taylor didn’t believe me at first. But once Jack stepped in and said I was serious, since I had to tell him first because he asked why I didn’t like his sister, she believed me. And didn’t talk to me for a week or so. She had this crush thing for longer than any other girl… I felt so bad for her, but I couldn’t help it.” Blaine said a bit sadly. When Kurt said he was sweet and cute and lovable, he broke out into a grin and nuzzled his nose into Kurt’s shirt.
Kurt nodded slowly as he listened to Blaine talk. “Yeah they both adore you, Taylor did say that you tell Jack everything first and then stopped what she was saying after that. When we first met she was saying how every girl is in love with you and how they’re going to hate me for it, she advised me to stay away from them if i want to get home in one piece”
Blaine began laughing at Taylor’s advice. “Oh wow…. that sounds like something she would say.” He said, still laughing. “Well even if they do hate you, which I don’t understand how anyone could, they can’t do anything about it because I’m not getting rid of you. Sorry girls.” Blaine started laughing again, but stopped when his head had a flash of pain.
“Well actually it was me who said it but she advised me to do it” Kurt shrugged. “Well even if they do try i’m not going anywhere, my poor baby is sick and i need to look after him because i love him and i want him better” he smiled, he noticed Blaine suddenly stop laughing. “Is it your head again? I never asked you, were you sick at all while i was out?”
Blaine nodded when Kurt asked if it was his head, and again when Kurt asked if he was sick at all while Kurt was out. “I was asleep for a good while, but when I was awake I felt worse than I do now. I….. I think im getting better. But I can’t be sure. I know I at least feel better because I’ve got the best pillow in the world right here.” Blaine said, patting Kurt’s chest. “Thanks for looking after me. I love you.”
Kurt listened and watched as Blaine nodded to both his questions. “Well you’re not leaving this bed for the rest of the day, only to go to the toilet, we’ll see how you are tomorrow to determine whether you’re staying in bed all day if you’re better than today i’ll let you downstairs on the couch. Don’t worry i’m going to stay right here with you” He smiled when Blaine called him the best pillow in the world and patted his chest. “There’s no place i’d rather be, you don’t need to thank me, i love you too”
“You’re not going to want to stay up here with me all day though. You’ll get incredibly bored.” Blaine said. ” And I don’t want you to be bored and feel like you have to sit up here with me and do nothing for the rest of the day.” Blaine felt bad. He didn’t want to feel like Kurt had to stay in bed with him if he got bored and would rather do something else.
“I could never be bored with you, you’re the least boring person i know and anyway i won’t be doing nothing because i’ll be snuggling with you and looking after you. You don’t need to worry about a thing, thats my job. You just concentrate on getting better” Kurt leaned down and kissed his head.
The arms around Kurt wrapped around him even more as Kurt kissed his head. He didn’t want to get up, ever. “But aren’t you worried about getting sick? There’s no way you’re getting sick, I won’t have it, so do you really want to snuggle with me all day? Won’t I start to hurt your chest?” Blaine rambled, worried about doing any of those things to Kurt.
Kurt smiled shook his head. “Blaine shhh, no i’m not worried about getting sick, i’d rather i was sick than you. And yes i really do want to snuggle with you all day, that was our plan remember? No you won’t hurt my chest, you’ll be fine. I told you to stop worrying, the main thing is for you to get better”
“But I don’t want to get you sick……” Blaine said, and despite what he had been saying he pulled himself even closer to Kurt. He realized that Kurt was fully clothed and Blaine was in only in boxers, which might’ve been making Kurt uncomfortable. “Do you want me to put on some clothes since you’re dressed? I don’t want to make you feel weird since I’m in just my boxers and you have everything on.”
“Why would i feel weird? We’ve been like this a few times before now, only put clothes on if you want to. If it makes you feel better, i’ll get back down to my boxers” Kurt smiled, sighed and shook head.
“It might make me feel better….” Blaine said with a guilty smile as Kurt shook his head. He had an idea and pulled that puppy dog face of his that Kurt could never resist, hoping it would work. Kurt didn’t have to if he didn’t want to, but Blaine sure wanted him to.
Kurt laughed softly and looked at his puppy face. “Well if it’ll make you feel better i have no choice” he gently moved Blaine off him resting him back onto a pillow. Kurt slowly began to undo his shirt, when it was off he threw it at Blaine before removing his boots then slowly began undoing his pants. Once they were off he threw them aside, he was now just in his boxers. He walked back over to the bed and gently lifted Blaine back onto his chest wrapping his arms back around him. While moving he saw a couple of small scratches on his back, the guilt was back again.
Once Kurt was in just his boxers and back snuggling with Blaine he wrapped both arms around Kurt’s torso, getting as close as possible he could. He took a deep breath and sighed happily. “See? I’m already feeling better…” Blaine said with a small laugh as he intertwined his legs with Kurt’s again. This was the third time they had snuggled with Blaine against Kurt’s chest instead of the other way around, and it gave Blaine a nice sense of security.
“Hmm let me see” Kurt put his hand on Blaine’s head, he was still hot and sweating. “You don’t feel better to me. I am sorry you know” He gave Blaine a small squeeze holding him close.
Blaine sighed when Kurt said he was sorry. He had said that earlier, and Blaine was confused. “Why are you apologizing? It’s not like you got me sick. I did that to myself.” He said as Kurt gave him a squeeze and held him close, giving his fiancee a squeeze in return.
“No i made you sick, i did something wrong earlier to make you like this” Kurt said quietly, the guilt was pouring back like a flood. He felt Blaine squeeze him in return as he rested his head on top of Blaine’s gently.
Blaine looked up at Kurt, confused. “What do you mean you did something wrong earlier? Why would whatever you did, even though you didn’t do anything, get me sick?” He asked, having no idea what Kurt was talking about. Why does Kurt think he got Blaine sick? That was nature’s fault, not Kurt’s.
“I must have done, you were fine before and then we did that stuff and then you got sick, its my fault i did something to you” Kurt’s voice was a sad and shaky. “I don’t know how i did it but i did, i’m sorry”
Blaine bit his cheeks to keep from smiling, but he smiled anyway and started chuckling to himself. He leaned up and gave Kurt a long kiss before pulling away, still smiling. “Babe, you can’t get someone sick like this from what we did. It’s impossible.”
Kurt looked down at Blaine in confusion, he was chuckling? What was so funny? He didn’t expect the kiss so he didn’t instantly kiss back he did eventually. “Are you sure? You’re not just saying that to make me feel better are you?”
“I’m sure. Why would I just be saying that? Do I need to run home and get your pamphlets to prove it?” Blaine teased on the last part, leaning his forehead against Kurt’s. “You couldn’t have gotten me sick like this from that, even if you wanted to.”
“The pamphlets don’t say nothing about it, i looked earlier” Kurt said leaning his forehead against Blaine’s. “Why would i want to? I hate seeing you like this, so sick. I feel so useless and helpless” He looked into Blaine’s eyes, his eyes were sincere making Kurt’s guilt decrease.
“You’re not useless. You make a very good pillow.” Blaine teased, leaning in to kiss Kurt again. After holding it for a little while, he pulled away and looked into Kurt’s eyes. “You believe me, right? There was no way you could’ve done this to me.”
A small smile appeared on Kurt’s face when Blaine said he makes a very good pillow and kissed him, he kissed him back. He looked into Blaine’s eyes and nodded. “Of course i believe you but then if i didn’t do this, what did? You were fine earlier”
“That’s how sickness works, Kurt. Being fine one minute and sick the next. I don’t think anything did this to me… just nature decided for me to be sick.” Blaine said the last part with a shrug as he settled back into Kurt’s arms and snuggled up against his chest.
“Well then i don’t like nature if it likes making my baby sick” Kurt said as Blaine settled back into his arms and against his chest, Kurt hugged him tightly and kissed the top of his head.
“Well now you’ve upset nature and they might not let me get better.” Blaine teased as Kurt kissed his head. He looked up to the tv and noticed that they had missed part of the movie. “We can never sit through a full Harry Potter, can we?” Blaine asked with a laugh, kissing Kurt’s chest as he did.
Kurt looked at Blaine in horror, he wasn’t serious was he? “You are joking right? They will let you get better?” He looked down at Blaine who kissed his chest. “No it appears not, we’re not that far into it though, so its okay”
Blaine smiled up at Kurt and tapped his nose, watching it scrunch up. “Of course I’m joking. I’m a big boy, I’ll get better.” He teased, not taking his eyes off of Kurt when he looked over at the movie. “Just tell me when you’re confused and I’ll explain what we missed.”
“Oh good i was worried for a minute” Kurt smiled as Blaine tapped his nose. “You are a big boy, but even big boys need looking after and help getting better” Kurt looked at the movie for a second and then back at Blaine who was looking at him, he smiled at him and looked deep into his eyes. “Well you could explain to me who Sirius is and why Harry is so upset and the flashbacks that happened at the beginning”
“Sirius was Harry’s godfather and his dad’s best friend. He was almost a father to Harry, and Bellatrix Lestrange, a death eater, killed him. ” Blaine gave Kurt the shortened version. He would’ve told him more, but another pain went through his head. Blaine gave Kurt a squeeze when it did, letting Kurt know.
Kurt felt Blaine squeeze him, which meant his head was hurting. He thought it was best if he didn’t ask questions to save Blaine from thinking and his head hurting. He squeezed him gently back telling him he understood. Kurt snuggled Blaine closer to him pulling the covers more over Blaine as he did so Blaine wasn’t cold, he wrapped his arms around him tight resting his head gently on top of his.
Blaine let his eyes close as the pain increased. He didn’t want to squeeze Kurt and worry him any more than he most likely already was, but the pain showed on his face. He snuggled closer into Kurt’s side when he was pulled close and pulled the covers over himself and Kurt when Kurt did. Kurt shouldn’t have to be cold.
Kurt looked down at Blaine who had his eyes closed and his face looked pained, he wished desperately he could do something. He looked over beside Blaine and saw the remote, he picked it up and turned the television down putting on the subtitles to the dvd so he could only just hear it and he could read what they were saying. He didn’t want the sound of the tv to make his head hurt even more, he put the remote down and wrapped his arm back around him.
