Really not my plan to write a post-ep for every episode. :) However this episode had so much in it was a fanfic writer's dream. This one is a shipper story so if you're not shipping them yet hit the back button. Will post another version with a more adult rating :)

Title: Needed
author: Cindy Ryan
spoilers: all
pairings: Kurt/Jane

His plan had been anywhere than where he'd ended up. She'd been through enough that day. Kurt's fingers still betrayed him as they had dialed Jane's cell phone. He should have made an excuse; told her he'd hit a wring button. Jane had heard something in his voice and knew something was wrong. They were too in tune to each other already. Jane had let him in the safe house without a word. She seemed to sense that he needed company not conversation.

"You can be my starting point."

Her words from earlier invaded Kurt's thoughts as they sat in the darkened living room. It was nearly midnight now. Jane had found a bottle of wine somewhere. Her glass was half gone ;his was drained. Jane had become so much to him in such a short time. She had said she didn't know how to be the person he lost. Jane was more than that he just didn't know how to tell her. If what he was feeling was even real.

"You tired?"Jane asked.

"No."Kurt replied."You can go to bed if you want."

"Not tired either but I better find you a blanket and pillow."Jane said as she stood.

She was back in a few minutes successful and carrying a dark blue blanket and a pillow. That time should"ve been enough to clear his head. Jane was raw and vulnerable and needed Kurt to keep a clear head. If it'd been a normal day he might have been able to shake it off. Tossing in seeing his father and Kurt was loosing control bit by bit. Right now what he needed; what was keeping him sane was standing three feet away setting her burden on a chair.

"I know you don't want to talk and that's okay."Jane began as she sat back down on the sofa."Just tell me...are you alright?"

Kurt knew he should go. Logical thing was to camp out at the office. But logic had left a long time ago. Kurt was running on pure emotion. Maybe because he hadn't let himself truly feel in a long time.

"Kurt?"Jane prompted.

He heard the worry in her voice and hated himself for it. He didn't want to make this harder for her. Kurt had said as much earlier and he seemed to be doing it despite his best intentions.

"I'm okay."Kurt whispered.

Kurt met Jane's gaze and she could tell she wasn't buying it. Then she reached out and placed a hand on his left cheek. He closed his eyes.

"You scared me today."Jane said softly.

Kurt's eyes flew open than narrowed.

"No i wasn't afraid of you."Jane corrected."i was afraid for you...when you went in unarmed to buy more time for the hostages..."

"I'm trained for that."Kurt replied capturing the hand that was on his face in his right hand and squeezed it

"I know...sorry that was silly."Jane stated pulling away slight.

"No it wasn't."Kurt said tightening his hold.

Kurt leaned in and kissed Jane lightly on the lips. He'd meant it to be a chaste kiss. But his body betrayed him and the kiss deepened. After a minute Kurt pulled back breathing hard. He half rose to leave but Jane pulled him to her.

"Don't think...just stay with me."Jane suggested as she kissed him once more.

However Kurt's brain did finally kick in and he broke the kiss. He lightly caressed Jane's face before repositioning them so they were laying down on the sofa. After a moment Kurt got up got the pillow and blanket. He laid back down covering them both.

"It's been a hell of a day."Kurt said huskily. "We need sleep. Rest, Jane, I'm not going anywhere."

After several long minutes where it looked like Jane wanted to say something. Instead she curled up next to him and rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and soon both were asleep.
