The second Kurt got home from school he headed to his room to rid himself of the tight skinny jeans, white button up, and red and white polka dotted bowtie. He pulled on a normal pair of jeans that fit him and were a bit baggy at the legs and a white t-shirt with the logo Lima, Ohio stamped on the front. Kurt walked upstairs to go plop himself on the couch to do his homework. His dad sat down next to him and flipped the T.V to a football game and called Finn. Kurt didn't even protest or make remarks about the football uniforms, which would have surprised them all had they been paying attention.

Finally Kurt finished the last algebra question and yawned. He got up and spoke only to state that he was going to bed. Burt and Finn would have been surprised to notice a slight crack in Kurt's melodic voice, but they were still absorbed in the game. By this time it was about 9 'o clock and Kurt was ready to start on his hour-long night routine. As he began, he turned on the radio to his favorite station and sang along to an Adele song.

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark

Finally, I can see you crystal clear.

Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.

That was as far as he could get before he broke out in a fit of coughing. He reached for a tissue and sneezed. Kurt shrugged and finished up his routine. He decided to change into his favorite button down pajamas. Kurt changed into the pajamas quickly and lay down on his queen sized mattress. He snuggled underneath the thick bedspread and blankets and was almost asleep when he heard Finn trudge downstairs and make his way through the room almost an hour later. Kurt coughed loudly which startled Finn.

"Bro, you okay? You sound like you're getting sick."

"I'm fine, Finn. I never get sick. Plus, how many times have I told you NOT to call me "Bro"?"

"Sorry dude. You do look pale, though."

Kurt had no reply this time. He just pulled the covers over his head and fell asleep.

Kurt woke up to himself in a mad coughing fit. His throat was sore and he was exhausted. He took a peek at the digital clock in the room. 4:15 the clock read. Kurt grunted and rolled over onto his stomach. He was still coughing five minutes later. He could hear the quiet breaths of his stepbrother on the other side of the room. Finally he stopped and was breathing hard. Kurt felt even more tired and fell asleep almost immediately under the warm blankets.
