Lifeline

Part 18

The alarm wakes both men in the morning and while Blaine opens his eyes and turns off the alarm, Kurt squeezes his eyes together to keep them closed, just wanting to fall asleep again. Sleep sounds good. He slept okay. He thought he'll sleep horrible if he sleeps at all but it was okay.

"You can sleep in if you want to. I go change and then we'll see okay?" Blaine says and Kurt nods, grateful that Blaine doesn't go full on let's start training on him. He really isn't in the mood for training.

Like he said Blaine quietly leaves the room and goes to his locker to change casaques after he slept in the one from yesterday.

Then he takes one of the trays and goes back to Kurts room with his breakfast. Kurt feltasleep again so Blaine sets down the tray and writes a note saying:

"I'm in the cafeteria and eat breakfast. Call me if you need me"

Then he closes the door again and goes down to Meggy. He not only needs some breakast but more important he needs coffee. The next days can get rough but Blaine already knows that coffee is his best friend.

When Blaine comes back in he catches Kurt throwing his head back and groaning in frustration. "You okay?" he asks but Kurt shakes his head half yelling "Why doesn't that work? Why am I to dumb to eat alone again?".

The nurse closes the door behind him and sits down on the stool "You're not dumbKurt. Right now it seems difficult again but you'll be fine again". "But I don't feel like it. It hurts. It fucking hurts and I hate that" Kurt says still half yelling but now also crying at the same time.

"I know" Blaine says and takes Kurt in his arms again. If it helped yesterday, maybe it helps again now. They can only talk properly if Kurt calms down a bit.

By now Blaine is pretty sure he likes Kurt more than he should because else it wouldn't hurt him so much when he sees Kurt crying and mumbling things like " I hate it" or "It hurts". But he can't do something else than comforting him.

The morning in New York is also not boring.

Rachel wakes up early in the morning, preparing for her first day back in school again. She knows that, just like before a lot of people will ask about Kurt or spread rumors about him and his well-being.

The girl is in the kitchen, making herself some breakfast when she hears the front door open. That could only be one person.

Rachel lets everything in the kitchen as it is and turns around, her voice stern when she talks "What are you doing here Justin?"

"I live here. Remember?" the red head answers but Rachel shakes her head "I don't think so. Not anymore". "Why's that now?" the man asks, making Rachel laugh "Do you really think that after what you did to Kurt you can still live here? In Kurts and my loft?"

"Calm down Rach. He'll get over it" Justin laughs but stops when Rachels hand meets his cheek, slapping him hard. "You ruined a four year long relationship! You're not welcome here anymore" Rachel says, loud and clear to make him understand.

"So what's your plan?" Justin asks and Rachel says "I know for fact that your classes only start tomorrow. When I come back from NYADA you packed your stuff and left. Leave the keys on the kitchen table and never come back again or talk to me in school".

And with that she closes the door in front of his nose. Hecan start packing when she's at school but Rachel can't bear being in the same room with him or one of them, probably Justin, ends up dead.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Blaine asks when Kurt calmed down a bit and Kurt shrugs "You don't have to listen to me complaining about Adam". "Kurt if you want to talk about it I'm here. Else I wouldn't have asked" Blaine says and smiles softly.

Kurt weakly smiles back "Okay. I'd like to talk about it". "Okay. You tell me about that idiot and then we eat breatfast okay" Blaine proposes and Kurt nods "Okay".

"I never thought he'd be capable of that you know? He always was so sweet and protected me from the bullies at school. When he asked me out I thought I was dreaming.

And Justin? When I met him at NYADA he was like Rachel and me. An outsider from a small town. A loser. That's how we three became friends. I never thought he could do something like that to me.

And why didn't Adam told me when he saw me? I told him that I prepared myself for a break up because I'd understand if he moved on over the year. And still he choosed to lie. I don't know why.

And you told me that they kissed and stuff in my room. I don't want to know what they did in my room while I was laying here, comatose. But imagine I woke up on them making out or something" Kurt tells, trying his best not to cry again.

"Believe me or not but I asked myself that very same thing" Blaine tells, taking Kurt in his arm again, "Why are they doing this in your presence and why and could it have any consequences and so on".

"And yet you did nothing to give them the fair chance to tell me the right way" Kurt mumbles into Blaines chest and the other man answers "A chance they didn't used. Not my fault. They had a chance". On that Kurt chuckles silently.

Then he parts from Blaine again and says "Okay I think breakfast is a good idea now". I'm glad" Blaine says and asks "So what are we doing today?" while helping Kurt with breakfast.

"I don't know. Movie? But no training. Like a time out for broken hearts you know?" Kurt says and Blaine raises his eyebrow "Time out?". "Yes. For broken hearts. With movies and chocolate and ice cream" Kurt says.

The nurse laughs "I give you a two days time out. Today and tomorrow but not fully without training. We still do fingers and hands and wrists because that always goes during a movie". "Deal" Kurt says and smiles satisfied.

The other part of the deal is that Blaine stays with Kurt so he doesn't has to go back to the other patients and at the same time can make sure that Kurt is okay.

And so the day passes by with movies, chocolate, talking about randon stuff and from one time to another even a bit of laughing.

This time after Blaine helped Kurt with dinner he goes to the locker room and changes. Sebastian made dinner and since he doesn't stay for much longer Kurt insisted that Blaine goes home.

In a few days Sebastian goes back home, together with Hunter who'll be back from his business trip by then.

But of course Blaine doesn't go home without going back to Kurts room to wish him a good night.

During dinner Blaine catches up with Sebastian, telling him what exactly happened and what he did that he didn't came home yesterday.

Kurt meanwhile phones with Rachel who tells him that Justin moves out. His clothes are gone, the keys were on the table and on the weekend someone will pick up the furniture belonging to Justin.

Only after the call Kurt realizes how lonely he feels. Without anyone around and not being able to call his boyfriend out of boredom. His phone would probably be mute as always and it's pretty late anyway.

So instead Kurt takes his laptop and decides to watch some more movies. Moulin Rouge. He loves that movie but Adam hates it. He could never convince him to sing Come What May with him but that's not important anymore.
