Kurt had fallen asleep with his head resting on Blaine’s chest, in Kurt’s eyes this was the perfect pillow. Blaine spent a lot of time there with Kurt; he stroked his hair as Kurt slept. Kurt couldn’t sleep for long because the police walked in the door, they obviously wanted a statement from Kurt about what happened but Kurt didn’t remember much.
“Kurt,” Blaine said in his ear, nudging him very gently and rousing him. “Police are here. They want to talk to you.”
Kurt opened his eyes and looked towards the door, his arms wrapping around Blaine’s torso. He didn’t sleep very well as it was from the nightmares but having to talk about it, that was worse.
“Mr. Hummel, I’m Detective Ross and this is Officer Safe. Yes, his name is funny because he is a police officer and he keeps people safe.” Neither Kurt or Blaine laughed. Kurt just kept hold of Blaine and didn’t want to let go, he didn’t want him to go anywhere. Detective Ross cleared his throat before continuing. “Anyway, we want to ask you about the night you were attacked.”
The word made Kurt flinch and hold onto Blaine more. “I don’t want to.” He whispered to Blaine.
“It’s okay, I’m right here. Just tell them what you know and it’ll be over.” Blaine held him closer and kissed his head.
“Mr. Hummel, the quicker we do this the faster it’ll be over.” Detective Ross said as he looked at Officer Safe who got out his recorder. Kurt nodded. “Okay good. Okay, what were you doing that night? What happened?”
“I was... I had been visiting my dad who was in a coma and I came out of the hospital and walked to my car, out of nowhere I got hit round the head and I fell. I didn’t see who hurt me. All I know is that there was more of them, they kicked me and did all sorts to me until I was unconscious.”
“So you have no idea who did this?”
“No. It just hurt and before I knew it, I couldn’t see and I was bleeding. They kept telling me to die, they called me bad names.”
“Bad names? Like?”
“Fag. That was the most used one.”
“Thank you Mr. Hummel.” Detective Ross smiled. “Looking good by the way, much better than you did before.”
Officer Safe sniggered. “That was disgusting. I think I heaved looking at you.”
“Out.” Detective Ross growled, pushing his co-worker out the door.

Kurt hadn’t seen his face yet, he was too scared to but now he knew that it was disgusting made him want to and not want to at the same time.
“It’s not that bad.” Blaine reassured him. It had been bad when it first happened but it was much better now, at least Kurt could see.
“I want a mirror, I want to see.” Kurt moved in pain so he was lying on the bed properly and not on Blaine so Blaine could get him a mirror.
Blaine got Kurt a mirror and handed it to him, watching as he burst into tears at his bruised and slightly swollen face. “You were a lot worse when you were out, no one recognised you.” He saw Kurt crying even more. “But you’re much better now; I can see its you. You did very well with the police by the way, I’m proud of you.”
Kurt looked at Blaine in shock and surprise. Blaine was proud of him? That made his heart well and his tears turn into happier tears. “You’re proud of me?”
“Of course I am, how could I not be? You’re so strong and you inspire me.” Blaine smiled, handing Kurt a small mirror. He sat on the bed and put his arm around Kurt for support as he looked into the mirror. “See look, you’re beautiful.” He said as he kissed Kurt’s cheek.
“I look disgusting. Look at me! A disgusting face to go with my disgusting body.” Kurt thought his body was disgusting because of the large scar on him from the surgery, he couldn’t go shirtless around Blaine, he was even more self conscious than ever.
“Not to me. But remember, you won’t look like this forever. In a few weeks it’ll have gone down and you’ll be even more beautiful. And as for your scar, I don’t care about it but I don’t want you to hide it from me.” Blaine told him, sitting Kurt up and sitting behind him, wrapping his arms around him. “I don’t want you to hide anything from me.”
“Do you know what I want right now?”
“What’s that?”
“I want to be home with you, just with you and lying together.” Kurt leaned back against Blaine.
“That sounds nice, I want that too and soon we will be there, together.” Blaine had an idea. “Close your eyes.”
“Why?” Kurt asked as his eyes closed.
“Now think of your room and us lying together.” Blaine smiled, his own eyes closing. “Describe your room and what you see so I can see it too.” Even though Blaine had seen it before.
“It’s medium sized with white walls and a dark floor and boarder. I have many shelves with books and figurines on them. The shelves are white and built in and they are behind my bed too, which is very big by the way.” He said with a little giggle.
“A big bed huh? We can make use of that.” Blaine teased, kissing Kurt’s neck.
“Maybe, but I’m not going to make it easy for you.”
“Where’s the fun in easy?” Blaine grinned, his chin on Blaine’s shoulder and his head leaning against Kurt’s.
“You’re terrible!” Kurt giggled.

Burt and Carole were standing outside the door, not listening to what was being said but more focusing on Kurt’s really happy face. It had been hard to get him to smile but when Blaine was there it was really easy. When Blaine was around Kurt was so happy and he was more alive. He’s only himself when he’s with Blaine.

“I’m only me when I’m with you.” Kurt opened his eyes and smiled at his boyfriend. “You make me so happy. Thank you.”
“I’m the same with you. I’ve never been happier, you make me so happy.” Blaine smiled and leaned his forehead against Kurt’s when it turned to face him.
“Thank you for loving me.”
“I only wished I knew I did before.”
“Hey, it’s okay. You know now and you’re with me and we’re not breaking up.”
“Never. I wouldn’t and couldn’t break up with you. I love you.”
“And I love you. I couldn’t break up with you, I wouldn’t even dream of it.”
