About six hours later Kurt woke up again, the smile on his face never leaving. He slowly raised his head and blinked a few times. Noticing where he was and remembering who was with him, his cheeks flushed and he swallowed hard while Blaine was still asleep peacefully, his chest rising and falling as his lips were slightly parted. He had an arm around Kurt's back and the other hand was on his soft hair.
Kurt smiled shyly to himself. He didn't want to move, he was too comfortable like that. Sighing, he hesitantly nuzzled back to Blaine's stomach and closed his eyes, not knowing what to think about all this. A few seconds later, Blaine hummed in his sleep and his eyebrows furrowed, he tightened his embrace and shifted a little bit and Kurt looked up, letting a soft 'I love you' escape his mouth, but quickly regretting it.
Blaine frowned even more and quiet whines escaped his mouth, "K'rt... N-no... Uhhnf.." He kept mumbling words, most of them sounding incoherent and he pressed Kurt closer to him, "Hmnngh'sorry... Mhm' no..."
Kurt chewed on his bottom lip, a quiet sob escaping his throat as the realization of everything came back, he was with Blaine, Blaine who hurt him. "I-I'll be right back" He whispered and freed himself from Blaine's embrace, rushing to the small bathroom, leaving the other boy curled up on the couch, still asleep, as he started crying and whining, "Sorry.. Sorry... 'm sorry... please mhmgh.." He kept saying a little bit loudly, his body trembling.
Kurt turned around on the half of the way and felt his lips trembling. He was torn, he was since the day he heard Blaine saying those words as he visited him several months ago, but Blaine was crying and Blaine needed him right now. So he decided to be there for him, instead of ignoring it like he always did.
Blaine groaned, "No... love mh'you.. Kurt.. Hmm... Sorry... N-no!" He cried more, his whole body shaking, his arms wrapped around himself protectively, "Kuuurt.." He whined softly.
"Ssshh. Blaine, hey. Blaine, I'm here, wake up. It's fine." Kurt mumbled and babbled as he rushed over to the couch, tears now filling his eyes. He slightly shook Blaine, wanting, needing him to wake up and he did as Blaine suddenly woke up, snapping his eyes wide open and gasping loudly, he looked around in confusion and realized where he was, realized that he had another nightmare, he then noticed Kurt crying and wiped his eyes roughly.
"H-hey, no. Kurt, come here" He said softly, his voice a little bit husky, looking at Kurt with concern as he tried to shift closer to him.
"You were crying." Kurt whispered, his voice small. "I-I think...you had a nightmare or something like that. I just wanted to go sure you are okay." he added silently and looked down, not knowing what to do.
Blaine let out the most fake and nervous chuckle he would ever manage to let out, "It's fine... I'm okay. I'm used to this. Don't cry, okay?" He whispered and held Kurt close, hugging him tight and rubbing his back gently.
Kurt's heart skipped a beat and he gasped, his eyes widening. "W-what do you mean with...you're used to it? "
Blaine shook his head and swallowed, "Nothing, never mind. It's nothing" He forced a smile and looked down at Kurt, wiping a single tear from his cheek.
Kurt felt guilty. More guilty than ever and he didn't even know why. At least not exactly. "Blaine..." he started but cut himself off, a knot blocking his throat.
Blaine let go of him and turned to face him, "Kurt, look at me" He rested both hands on Kurt's shoulders, "None of this is your fault, okay? Don't feel like it's your fault because it really isn't" He said softly yet firmly, looking into Kurt's eyes.
Kurt swallowed thickly around the knot in his throat and shrugged slightly. "I just- ...u-uhm... D-do we...I mean... Hey, what about going outside a bit? It's sunny today" he blurted out after stuttering at the beginning.
Blaine smiled softly, his heart aching a little bit; he made a promise not to sleep near Kurt, to make sure he doesn't find out about his nightmares, but he did. He nodded, "Yeah, sounds good" He said softly and pulled Kurt into a quick warm hug, not knowing the reason but just needing to do it as Kurt closed his eyes again, quickly relaxing in Blaine's embrace. He wrapped his arms around his neck and sighed shakily before burying his face to the younger boy's neck.
Blaine sighed and bit on his lip before hesitantly pressing a soft kiss to Kurt's temple, "I lo- uh... I-I mean, Go get prepared, okay?" He said and swallowed, pulling away from the hug slowly, mentally kicking himself again for talking and acting without thinking.
Kurt blushed and turned his head to look at Blaine, a little bit shocked at the sweet kiss. He stared at Blaine for a moment but then quickly got up to look for appropriate clothes and Blaine blinked slowly and sighed as the other boy ran quickly to his bedroom. He rubbed his face with his palm and waited there, making mental notes: Don't flirt, don't get too close, don't kiss him, pet names are forbidden, just don't. Kurt and you aren't together anymore.
"You can just rest your bag next to my bed." Kurt shouted over to Blaine and quickly took off his shirt and sweatpants, looking for something to wear.
Blaine's gaze traveled to the direction of where Kurt was and his eyes widened, he swallowed thickly and blushed, "Y-yea-Okay...ยป He looked away and sighed shakily, Kurt's body has nothing to do with what he looked like a few months ago, at that time, it was beautiful, smooth pale skin, small waist, but now, it was the closest thing to perfection, firm arms, chest and abs muscles, strong legs, with that slim waist that made everything look beautiful. Blaine shook his head lightly, chasing all the inappropriate thoughts away. He got up and carried his bag, resting it next to Kurt's bed with nervous, shaky hands.
Kurt took some skin tight, green jeans and quickly pulled them up his legs. "Shit, my hair. Oh God, I look horrible." he kept mumbling to himself and then grabbed a dark grey shirt, putting it on as well. "Ugly ugly ugly...damn...scarf...where... ugh"
Blaine plopped down on the couch, lying back there and facing the opposite side of the apartment to avoid watching Kurt. "You don't look horrible, you look good in those clothes" He said, not even knowing if Kurt has put his clothes on or not yet.
"You didn't even look at them, Blaine. And my hair is a mess." Kurt grumbled but smirked at the sweet compliment. He rushed over to the bathroom to half heartedly fix his hair and came back after about five minutes. "Okay.. Good, I-I'm ready."
Blaine sat up and grinned, "Told you. You look amazing" He said as he studied Kurt's body, his heart beat fastening a bit; skin tight jeans light shirt, scarf, soft styled hair, Perfect.
"Like dirty cute, huh?" Kurt smirked and played with his fingers, a soft giggle escaping his throat and he looked down, remembering the week they spent together a few months ago. It was the only week Kurt had felt happy after a long time and from what he felt now, he finally knew again whose 'fault' that was.
Blaine chuckled, "Like dirty cute" He repeated and grinned widely then stood up, bending over to put his shoes on.
Kurt chuckled and took his shoes on as well. "So, uh... We could go to Starbucks and get some breakfast and eat it at Central Park maybe?" he suggested as he got up again,
"Yeah, sounds great" Blaine said and smiled happily, "Though nothing beats Lima Bean's breakfast" He said and stretched his arms.
"Mhm, nice times, that's right. I miss Lima Bean sometimes. We always had much fun there. Well, at least until that mouse appeared" Kurt laughed and shivered as he grabbed his phone, the keys and his pocket.
Blaine giggled, "yeah, it was fun" He said and followed Kurt to the door, "From what I know, someone really loves cheesecake" He smirked and glanced at Kurt, "And they sell now super delicious ones there" His smirk grew wider and they both got out of the apartment.
"Oh crap! Now that I'm gone they do that, huh? Nice one. Damn" Kurt groaned and closed the door behind them and Blaine laughed.
"I'll try to bring you some, next time" He said softly and smiled sweetly, "Because I'm a good bo-best friend!" He added and blushed at the word that nearly escaped.
Kurt knew exactly what Blaine was about to say and swallowed, smiling softly. "You are definitely." he whispered and looked at him. He then waited a moment and linked his arm with Blaine's who smiled sweetly and shivered lightly at Kurt's touch.
