Sleep Deprivation

Blaine's phone buzzed insistently next to his ear. He turned his head and glared at the offensive device as it continued to vibrate on his pillow. He snatched it up and pressed it to his ear.

"H'lo…" His sleep filled voice echoed slightly in his dark room.

"You were asleep…I'm sorry." Kurt's tearful voice sounded grainy and much too far away.

Blaine, finding that he no longer felt the least bit sleepy sat upright in bed amongst his crumpled sheets, eyes wide. His heart raced and his mind filled with millions of terrible possibilities.

"Kurt, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

There were a few seconds of silence and then a tiny sniffle.

"I'm fine…It's just that I can't sleep."

Oh, thank God.

But before Blaine could voice his relief, Kurt added, "Today was my mother's birthday."

"Oh, Kurt." Blaine squeezed his eyes shut and his chest ached for his boyfriend.

And, knowing that all Kurt had wanted when he called was to hear his voice, Blaine started to sing, imagining that he could feel the shell of Kurt's ear barely brushing against his lips. He meant every single hushed word.

It's the way that you blush when you're nervous.
It's your ability to make me earn this.
I know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's about how you laugh out of pity,
'Cause lets be honest I'm not really that funny.
I know that you're shot, just let me sing you to sleep.

If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
and plant my lips where your necklaces close.

It's those pills that you don't need to take,
medicating perfection, now that's a mistake.
I know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it.
It's your grace and how it keeps me grounded.
I know that you're weak, just let me sing you to sleep.

If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
and plant my lips where your necklaces close.

While you were sleeping I figured out everything,
I was constructed for you, and you were molded for me.
Now I feel your name, coursing through my veins.
You shine so bright it's insane, you put the sun to shame.

If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything. (I really do)
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
and plant my lips where your necklaces close.

If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
and plant my lips where your necklaces close.

Only when he was absolutely positive that he could hear Kurt's sleeping breath, did Blaine whisper, "I love you," and hang up the phone.


Aww… Sad little Kurt!

Oh, and that song was Lullaby by The Spill Canvas
