Author's Note – I know a lot of Klaine stories start from here, and write about Kurt and Blaine's first kiss, in Original Songs, but… I changed it a little =) Hope you enjoy. This may have terrible typos in it and I apolagise for that...
Blaine sat talking with another Warbler when Kurt opened the doors and walked in, out of customary uniform. Instantly, everyone's eyes snapped to his and it was obvious that he'd been crying. Kurt stood wearing an all black suit, Blaine rose from his seat.
"Kurt what's wrong?" Kurt lifted his eyes from the floor and stared straight at Blaine – making the curly haired boy shiver but unable to figure out why – before looking around the room at the rest of the Warblers.
"It's Pavarotti… Pavarotti's dead, I suspect a stroke." Kurt's voice began to croak from the previous crying he'd done.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." Blaine said, wanting to take the boy into another room and console him without everyone watching. Everyone knew about Kurt's feelings for Blaine, but only a few thought that Blaine would return the feeling one day.
"I know it's really stupid to be upset about a bird but… he inspired me with his optimism and his love of song. He was my friend. Now I know today we meet to practice doo-wopping behind Blaine as he sings every solo in the medley of Pink songs but, I'd like to sing a song for Pavarotti today."
Kurt proceeded to pull out a tape from his jacket and hand it to another Warbler, who put it in a cassette player. Blackbird started to play and Blaine stared at Kurt as he started to sing the ballad, tears rolling down his cheeks staining them further. His voice not faltering as he looked anywhere but Blaine.
Blaine didn't understand why he hadn't noticed how beautiful Kurt was before then? He felt his heart strings being tugged even further as Kurt's song came to an end and he said thank you to Thad, Wes and David for allowing him to do that and excused himself.
"Blaine, why don't you go and make sure Kurt's alright, I doubt he really wants to be by himself at the moment." Wes suggested, smiling sadly at Blaine. Blaine nodded and followed Kurt to his dorm. Blaine knocked on Kurt's door for the third time.
"Kurt, I know you're in there… I can hear you crying… please…" Blaine only let his guard down around a few people other than Kurt. This made Kurt one of the only people that Blaine cared for deeply and loved. Why he didn't realize it was more than a friendly love sooner he had no idea.
"Don't torture yourself Kurt… at least let me in so I can see you're alright. Don't make me go and get the master key from Wes." That did it… Blaine heard footsteps coming towards the door and heard the door being unlocked. It opened a fraction and he could see Kurt's face peeping through the crack.
"Happy? I'm okay… now leave me alone…" Kurt said with a slight bitter tone to his voice.
"Kurt… let me in…" he went to push the door but Kurt shook his head.
"No… I just want to be alone right now…" Kurt went to close the door in Blaine's face but he had put his foot in the way to prevent it.
"Kurt, it's not going to get better if you stay by yourself like this. So let me in or I'll get the Warblers to set up an intervention…"
Kurt sighed and walked away from the door which Blaine opened and closed quickly. He sat on the chair that was in the corner of Kurt's room, next to the bed as Kurt perched on the bed.
There was a mound of used tissues on the floor and over Kurt's bed, obvious evidence of the amount of tears that the small soprano had been crying. Blaine knew the look on Kurt's face. He knew the boy just wanted to be cuddled and be told everything was going to be alright. Blaine stood and cleared away all the tissues that littered the room and lay down on Kurt's bed. Kurt gave him a confused look but he motioned for Kurt to lie down next to him, which he did, laying a straight as a nail.
"Kurt, let me look after you… come here…" Kurt looked up at Blaine, sorrow shining through his eyes, obviously feeling sorry for Kurt.
The brown haired boy smiled and curled into Blaine's chest, listening to his heartbeat with every breath. Blaine started to stroke Kurt's hair as he heard his breathing calm down. After a while, Blaine looked down to see that Kurt had fallen asleep on his chest. He smiled and closed his eyes to drift into a slumber himself.
