Nirvana one-shots

Whispers of comfort

Grunting I opened my eyes and looked over to see where my boyfriend was. Kurt wasn’t in the bed. Confusion pulsed throughout me and I wondered what he was up to. I figured that he must have woken up to get some food or something.
I was tempted to stay in bed for a bit longer but I felt a bad feeling and decided to investigate it. It might be nothing but I want to check things out just to make sure Kurt is okay.

I walked over to the bathroom and froze. My boyfriend was lying on the ground, his back prompted against the hallway leading to the bathroom. His head was in his hands and he was loudly sobbing. My heart shattered when I realized my boy was in pain and I was too busy sleeping to notice.

"Hey, what’s wrong, Kurt?”

I crouched down next to him and opened my arms, waiting to see if he would crawl into them. Of course, Kurt did just that. I wrapped my arms tightly around him and lifted him up into my lap. He rubbed his head into my chest and cried for a bit longer.

“Sh… Sh… It’s okay.” I muttered softly, trying my best to calm Kurt down.

I started to rub my hands up and down Kurt’s back. His crying dwelled a bit and I decided that it would be good to ask him what happened.

“What happened, Kurt?” I questioned.

“It’s been hard since I quit heroin.” Kurt answered. “I’m having bad withdrawals. They were so bad that I couldn’t sleep so I got up to use the bathroom and as I came out, I felt so shitty that all I could do was lay here on the floor and cry. I’m sorry that you have to see me like this, Dave. I know I’m acting ridiculous.”

“It’s okay.” I reassured him. “You aren’t acting ridiculous. I understand that recovering from drugs, especially one as dangerous and hard to break as heroin, I’m so proud of you for quitting for me, though.”

When Kurt was addicted to heroin, It was hard for the both of us. It nearly broke up our friendship and definitely didn’t allow us to get together. He broke up with Courtney after a bad fight and began to slowly get sober. I took him in to care for him and we fell in love.

He’s been sober for a few months now and I’m so proud of him. I’m going to make sure that he never goes back to his past.

“You aren’t going to leave me, right, Dave?” Kurt asked. “I’m trying. I really am. I haven’t taken anything. It’s just so hard. So hard… And I don’t want you to give up on me.”

“Kurt, listen to me.” I said gently. “I am never going to give up on you. You are so talented and I know deep down that you aren’t the person you were when you were with Courtney. She took advantage of you and made you worse. I’m here to undo her damage and give you the best life I possibly can. Alright?”

“Alright…” Kurt sighed before leaning further into my lap. “I don’t deserve you, Dave.”

“You deserve the world, Kurt.”

My boyfriend let out a soft smile before leaning back further into me. I stroked his hair and petted his hair. Kurt stopped crying at this point and was enjoying the affection.

As Kurt sat in my lap, our cat suddenly walked over to us and began to rub their body right against my legs. Kurt smiled and scooped the cat up, petting him as I stroked his hair.

Kurt was half-asleep at this point and I debated if I should pick him up and take him back to the bed. But he was just so comfortable and he knew that his boyfriend was too. He supposes that he can just sleep outside the bathroom tonight.
