Secrets

Part 22

The other two days of the first week are just as nice as the first three. But still Kurt misses his family and even Blaine has to admit that he misses his mom. So the boys shorthanded decide to drive home over the weekend. So after school both boys fast do their homework together before packing some stuff.

In the evening both boys are with their families. Pam and Blaine cook together and sit down on the couch in front of the tv, watching a movie. The evening at the Hummel-Hudson house looks similar. Finn sleeps at Rachels house tonight so it's just Burt, Carol and Kurt. First they eat and then they sit down on the couch and watch a movie that Kurt and Carol loves while Burt is jsut glad to has his son back. Sure he's only gone since a week but Burt has to get used to not having his boy around. Tomorrow the Andersons will come for lunch and then the boys can tell them about their first week on their new school.

At lunch Kurt and Blaine tell their families everything. How classes are, the people, the food -Finn was curious- and the dorms. Blaine tells them about Jeff and Nick but leaves out Sebastian because the boy doesn't matter to him anymore. "Oh and I think we forgot the biggest news" Kurt says smiling "We auditioned for the Warblers, Daltons Glee Club, and we got in". Of course everyone is happy for the couple. Everyone besides Finn. Kurt knows that something is bothering him but he'll ask him about it after lunch.

After lunch Finn goes upstairs. Quickly Kurt follows and so of course Blaine goes behind them. "Finn wait!" Kurt says upstairs, before Finn could go in his room. The tall boy stops and turns around. "What's on your mind?" Kurt asks worried and curious. The tall boy stays silent for a moment but then says "Do you think the whole Warblers thing is a good idea?". "Why? Because we're competitors now?" Kurt asks back on what the other boy shakes his head "No Kurt but don't you think it could be to much? To exhausting?". "And what makes you think that?" the bald boy says, rising an eyebrow. "Regionals are in three weeks and I know that yours are too because Mr. Schue told us already who is competing against us. With practice and the harder homework you told us about it's maybe too much." Finn explains his piont of view. "There you said it. We're competing against each other. You know that I can do what I want and although I still take it slow I'm okay. You're just scared that we'll beat you!" Kurt says mad at his brother. "Kurt you're pale. Don't you think I didn't noticed? Just accept that I'm worried about you!" Finn conters.

Kurt wants to say something more but maybe he's right. Maybe it is to exhausting because from the fight alone and the very exiting days at school Kurt feels a wave of exhaustion. He feels dizzy and a bit weak on his knees so he sits down on the floor. Blaine is right next to him "Kurt are you okay?". Kurt nods "Just a bit dizzy". "I'll get mom" Finn says, already halfway down the stairs. Blaine meanwhile helps Kurt up and together they go in Kurts room. Step for step until they reach the bed so Kurt can sit down again.

Seconds later Finn comes in again with Carol. Pam is still down in the living room, trying to dstract Burt. The father would've run to his boy but he knows that to many people are no use and Carol can take care of him. Caro and Finn come into the room and gather around Kurt and Blaine. But here Carol noticed too that to many people are no use. "Everyone out!" she says and the two boys leave the room, closing the door behind them.

Carol presses her hand against Kurts forehead but the boy doesn't has a fever. "What happened?"she asks. Kurt shrugs "Finn and I had a fight. He thinks it's bad that I am a part of the Warblers". "To be honest I thought that to at first but Blaine keeps an eye on you so it's okay. Do you still take it slow?" Carol asks and Kurt nods. "And you still take naps?" the woman asks but this time Kurt shakes his head "No. But don't blame Blaine. He still thinks I do. He takes care of me but when I fall asleep he leaves to give me some space and that's when I open my eyes again and practice or do homework and stuff. I'm sorry but I just can't sleep and rather do other stuff". "And that's why you had this wave now. I'm just glad you didn't breakdown. Hospital is the least thing anyone of us wants for you" Carol says and Kurt nods. "So here's the plan. You'll rest now and for the rest of the weekend. If you're not feeling better tomorrow you'll stay home for one or two more days so I can have a look at you. You would miss a bit of school but that'S the smallest problem I guess. I can'T tell Blaine to not leave your bed at nap time because it's you who has to promise me to keep resting. Understood?" Carol explains. The boy nods "Thank you". "Of course sweetie. Now rest" Carol says, kissing Kurt on the forehead. "Can you get Blaine? It's easier to sleep when he sings to me" Kurt asks, ready to lay down and take a nap. The woman nods, stands up and leaves.

Blaine comes in and closes the door behind him "Carol told me everything. You only pretended to sleep?". The other boy nods guilty so Blaine continues "Kurt that was irresponsible!". With a worried face he sits down on the bed !You need to promise me to truly rest". "Promise" Kurt says. He knows he should and he will. "Now come here" Blaine says and opens his arms. Kurt falls into his arms and whispers "I'm sorry. You wanted to take care of me and now this...". "It's okay Kurt." Blaine whispers back. He doesn't know if he should blame himself for not taking enough care of Kurt. He shouldn't but partly he does. "So you want me to sing you to sleep again" Blaine says breaking the hug. Kurt nods smiling. The curly haired boy kisses him on the lips, the nose and the forehead before he starts singing. Now feeling everything of the last week Kurt falls asleep halfway through the song.

Blaine goes out again after giving Kurt another kiss on the forehead. But before he can go downstairs to his mother Finn calls him in his room "Blaine. I need to talk to you. But not in front of Kurts room". Blaine nods and goes in "What's up?". "Was it your idea?" the tall boy asks. "What?" the other boy asks back so Finn says "Join the Warblers". "No. He came to me with that idea" Blaine answers. "And you haven't noticed that he's tired? He probably didn't even nap because of rehersals and all" Finn says. "No. He let me believe that he did but everytime I went out he stood up again" the smaller boy says looking down. "Why did you left in first place? Why don't you stay with him?" Finn asks and Blaine looks up in shock "Wait. Are you blaming me for what happened?". "Actually yes I do!" Finn answers. Blaine has enough. "Finn I care about Kurt more than anything. I'm not the one to blame here!" he conters and leaves the room.

Blaine goes down the stairs and pulls his mother aside "Mom can we leave? Kurt is sleeping and I thought we could do something together". "Of course" Pam answers and oth Andersons say goodbye to Burt and Carol before driving home.

"Do you want to tell me the real reason why you wanted to leave?" Pam asks her som as they get home. Blaine lets himself fall on the couch and sighs heavily "Finn blames me for what happened. But I didn't knew he wasn't resting until today. Normally once he's asleep I leave so he can rest. How should I have known that after I leaves he stands up again and does whatever?. "Do you feel guilty?" Pam asks, sitting down net to him. Blaine shrugs "Maybe a bit but I'm just worried". "You shouldn't blame yourself. As you said, you didn't know. I'm sure Kurt doesn't blame you either and no one else besides Finn. Right?" the woman thinks and her son nods. "I think Finn is just worried, especially now that he isn't with his brother all the time anymore. But more importantly, don't put yourself down. You did a great job taking care of your boyfriend and even transferred to another school. You're not to blame and as long as you know that everything is fine" Pam says and gets hugged tightly by her son "Thanks mom".

"Why did you left that early yesterday?" Kurt asks on the phone. "My mom and I decided to do something together. That's all" Blaine answers, packing his bag for Dalton again. "I hate going back without you" he says with a pout that Kurt can't see but hear and clearly imagine so he answers "Two days then you have me back at school and with you". "Two days to long for my liking but at least you're better again when you come back so I think I'll survive" Blaine jokes. "You put all the school stuff I miss on my desk so I can do it when I'm back and if you need help with you're homework you can ask Nick and Jeff okay?" Kurt answers laughing. "Okay" Blaine answers. Both phone a bit longer but then it's time for Blaine to go back to Dalton.

When Blaine wants to go into his room his friends stop him. "Blainers where's Kurt?" Nick asks curious. Blaine sighs "At home. He told me that he just pretended to take naps and thats why he feelt dizzy at weekend. His stepmom, who is by the way the nurse that talked to your grandma Jeffy, told him to stay home a bit longer to gain some more strenght. She'll take care of him and on Tuesday evening he comes back again". "That sucks" the blond boy says and everyone nods agreeing. But when Jeff takes a second look at his friend he realizes "There's more right?". Once again Blaine sighs, this time more heavily "His brother blames me fro not taking enough care of him". "He isn't that smart right?" now Nick asks "I mean he's not here. He can't see what you do for Kurt. You take care that he takes his naps, that he doesn't is not your fauld. You always ask him if he's okay or if he needs a break or anything. And he walks up on you and blames you?". Smiling softly Jeff puts a hand on Nicks shoulder "Baby I know that you want to protect Blaine but he knows that. Kurts brother doesn't and he isn't here so it's okay. You can calm down again". "But thanks for those words" the curly haired boy says now smiling too. Nick takes a deep breath before hugging his friend "You did great. He's a jerk". The other boy laugh at that and then Blaine goes into his room to unpack his bag before dinner time.
