“He saw the scaring on his face this morning and it really shook him up, he fainted in the bathroom.” The nurse said apologetically.

“But, it’s been four weeks.” Blaine pleaded.

“I am so sorry, but Kurt has asked not to let anyone in. I am really sorry.”
The nurse said as she squeezed Blaine’s shoulder and turned to walk down the hall.

Blaine looked back at Burt, Carole and Finn. Burt stood up and placed a hand on Blaine’s shoulder. “I am sorry bud, he didn’t even want me to go in. He is just shaken up. He hadn’t seen his face since the accident and it just a shock. I am sure you will be able to see him tomorrow.”

Blaine nodded. Carole stood up and wrapped Blaine in hug. “Why don’t we take you boys down to the cafeteria, I am sure you are both hungry.”

Finn stood up quickly and nodded. “Come on Blaine.”

Blaine shook his head, “Can I just have a minute alone, I will meet you down there in a bit.”

Carole looked at Blaine and started to say something till Burt stopped her. “Of course, Blaine just come down when you are ready.”

Blaine nodded as he sunk into one of the plastic chairs outside of Kurt’s hospital room.

He waited a few minutes to make sure the coast was clear before hurrying to the door to Kurt’s room and slowly opening it.

It was dimly lit and the blinds to the window were closed. He saw a Kurt sized lump in the middle of the hospital bed. The bed didn’t have as many machines surrounding it as Blaine had expected but it was still surreal to see his boyfriend attached to the instruments with various wires and tubes.
Blaine cleared his throat and spoke softly. “Kurt?”
Kurt moved slightly beneath the sheets and poked the top of his head out.

“Blaine…” he breathed. “You aren’t supposed to be in here, you can’t be in here!” Kurt cried once again hiding his face beneath the covers.

“Kurt…”Blaine said as he carefully stepped closer to the bed. “I’ve missed you so much. I know you know this, but it’s been four weeks Kurt. And I haven’t seen you. I haven’t seen you since the car caught on fire.” Blaine paused as tears began to fall and a lump caught in his throat. “I thought you were dead, gosh you look so pale and the burns, and I thought I lost you. I thought you were dead because I couldn’t save you.” Blaine was crying in earnest now. “Please Kurt, I need to see you because I need to know you are really here. That you are still with me.”
Kurt sniffed from underneath the covers. “I am still her Blaine, I just can’t. I can’t let you see me. I don’t look the same I will never look the same.”

Blaine was right besides the bed as he looked down at familiar chestnut hair that peaked out from the sheets. “I am sure you look beautiful Kurt.” He said gently running his fingers through Kurt’s hair. “Just please Kurt, I love you so much.”

Kurt moved slightly before pulled down the sheets. “You love me even though I look like this?”

Blaine’s heart swelled as his eyes finally saw his boyfriends face. Sure there was scaring but Blaine didn’t see that. He saw Kurt. He saw Kurt’s blue eyes that somehow made the world seem right. He saw the rise of Kurt’s cheekbones and the softness of his lips.

“I think you look perfect.” Blaine breathed as he swept his eyes over his boyfriends face.

“You are lying Blaine, this is not perfect. This is a mess.” Kurt said as he tried to cover up his scars.

“Kurt, stop. You are perfect, you will always be perfect. And I love you no matter what.” Blaine said as he placed soft kiss to Kurt’s cheek.

Kurt’s breathing hitched as he started to cry. Suddenly he fell into Blaine’s embrace and sobbed into Blaine’s shoulder.

“I was so worried that you would run away screaming, that you wouldn’t love me because I looked like this.”

Blaine’s heart broke as Kurt spoke. “Kurt, there is nothing in this world that will keep me from loving you. You are mine, you are perfect, and I love you forever.”

Kurt nodded as Blaine carefully climbed onto the bed and positioned Kurt next to his body.

“Do you believe me when I say I will love you forever?” Blaine asked as he pressed light kisses to Kurt’s neck.

“Yes, because I love you back forever.” Kurt said as he melted into Blaine’s embrace. Kurt knew that the scars would fade, the skin would heal and everything would be alright with time. But right now in this moment none of that mattered, because he had Blaine and they had their love.
