This is my second fanfic, I hope you like it, and reviews are much appreciated!
Blaine was driving back from the airport when his phone buzzed. It was the summer of 2011, the summer after he and Kurt had officially become boyfriends, and he could not be happier. Blaine had just gotten off the plane from the Bahamas, where his family took a two week vacation, and he was heading straight over to Kurt's house so he could reunite with his boyfriend.
Blaine picked up his phone from the compartment next to the car radio and saw that it was Burt Hummel that was calling him. He thought this was rather odd, but pressed the 'Send' button and brought the phone to his ear, "Hello?"
"Blaine?" said Burt on the other end of the line, sniffling slightly as he spoke, "Listen, you have to come to the hospital, it's Kurt."
"What is it?" asked Blaine, very alarmed at the news that his boyfriend was in the hospital. Kurt surely didn't break a bone, he wasn't the clumsy type, so what could it possibly be?
"It-umm…" Burt stuttered, obviously not sure how to put the situation into the right words, "K-Kurt is blind."
Blaine's heart nearly stopped at the news.
***TWO HOURS LATER***
Blaine was just pulling into the hospital parking lot, tear streaks still clearly visible on his face. He had sobbed all the way to the hospital. It just wasn't fair! Why did this have to happen to Kurt, he was 17! Blindness happens to people in their seventies and eighties, not in their teens, when they still have the rest of their life ahead of them. It wasn't fair at all, and reliving the feelings Blaine felt when he received the news caused tears to well up in his eyes again.
He parked the car and ran right to the hospital entrance. Blaine's eyes were still full with tears when he reached the front desk and asked to see Kurt Hummel. Everything was a blur to Blaine then. Tears streaked down his face as he followed the nurse to see his boyfriend. How am I going to handle seeing Kurt like this? He's only seventeen, he shouldn't have to deal with this! Blaine thought. Then the fact that Kurt would never be able to see his face again really set in. Kurt would never be able to see Blaine, his family, or anyone or anything ever again. He would be surrounded by darkness for the rest of his life.
The nurse stopped in front of a door and gestured for Blaine to walk inside. Blaine took a deep breath and prepared himself for what he was about to see.
Blaine walked into the crisp, clean white room to see something that no amount of preparing would be able to make what he saw any less painful. Kurt was sitting on the hospital, feet dangling off the edge. Burt sat in a stool across from him, holding his hand, and head bowed down crying softly. When Blaine closed the door, Kurt turned his head towards him, but didn't-couldn't-see him. His beautiful blue eyes had gone cloudy with the disease, and it drove Blaine to tears again.
"Blaine?" Kurt asked, so innocently and childlike.
It took everything in Blaine being not to burst into tears at that moment, "Yes, it's Blaine."
Kurt made a move to get up from the bed and immerse himself in his boyfriend's arms, but was beaten to it when Blaine quickly sat down next to him and hugged him like that was the last he was going to see Kurt. It brought back the memory of when he hugged Kurt goodbye when he was leaving for the Bahamas, the last time Kurt would ever see him.
Kurt cried into the crook of Blaine's neck, and said in a hoarse, tear-filled voice that broke Blaine's heart, "Blaine, I'm scared."
Blaine hugged his sightless boyfriend harder and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
The two boys stayed hugging when Burt motioned at Blaine that he was going outside so they could have some privacy. When Blaine released Kurt, he held onto his hand to make sure Kurt knew he was still here. Seeing Kurt's cloudy eyes again gave Blaine a lump in his throat. "Kurt I'm so sorry," said Blaine, trying hard to fight back tears.
Kurt gave a half-hearted smile and said, "It's not your fault."
Blaine chuckled slightly, tears still in his eyes, "I know," and pulled Kurt in for another hug. The two boys didn't say anything, just cry into each other's shoulders, getting used to the fact that Kurt wouldn't see anything for the rest of his life.
I started tearing up when I wrote this :'( so the ending was a bit awkward, but I hope you liked it. Reviews are much appreciated.
