Shorter chapter today but it was the best way to break it up. Thanks for all the lovely feedback and if anyone has any prompts or feedback I'd love to hear it.

On Friday morning Blaine woke up feeling happier than he had all week. Kurt was going to be back in class and while they didn't have many lessons together he would get to see him at break times not to mention the fact he was staying at Dalton over the weekend. Getting showered and dressed quickly Blaine wandered down to Kurt's room to get him for breakfast as they did every day.

It took a few knocks before Kurt finally opened the door and he looked very surprised to see Blaine standing there. "Not that it's not lovely to see you but why are you here, there's ages before class?"

"I thought we could go down to breakfast, you know, like we do every morning," Blaine's voice trailed off as he finished the sentence.

"Oh…. right… breakfast," Kurt said hesitantly.

"C'mon finish getting ready and we can go." Blaine walked into Kurt's dorm shutting the door behind him. As he sat down on the bed he frowned seeing Kurt still standing by the door, frozen. "You OK? Are you not feeling well again?"

"No, no I'm fine, just trying to think what I have this morning." Kurt walked over to his desk and started to put books in his bag before taking half of them out again. With a deep sigh he turned to face Blaine, "Look I'm not going to be ready for a while yet, why don't you go over and I'll see you in English."

"Kurt," Blaine said as gently as possible, reaching to take one of his hands, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing," he laughed slowly. "I guess I'm just worried about having to catch up on everything"

"People get sick all the time, no one will expect you to be up to date. Now stop worrying and get your books." He walked over to the desk and handed Kurt his copy of 'Of Mice and Men' for English lit. Kurt went to open his mouth again but Blaine got there first, "Kurt, I am waiting for you, you are coming to breakfast. I don't care how little you eat but you need to have something." With that he leaned forward and gently kissed him on the lips.

"OK, let me just find my history book."

Breakfast that day was a very strange event as far as Kurt was concerned. First it took him ages to decide what he actually thought he could stomach and having decided on a small fruit salad and some orange juice he could feel his heart racing at the thought of actually eating. He had got used to the gentle ache of hunger in his stomach, there was something strangely comforting about it but he knew Blaine would not let him go to class without eating something.

He picked up his tray and went to sit at the Warbler's table and was overwhelmed at the welcome he received. People hugged him, said how good it was to have him back, patted him on the back and numerous other ways of showing him that he had been missed. He would never have admitted to Blaine that he was nervous to be among the group again but he hadn't known them that long and there had been part of him scared that they might have been relieved to get a break from him.

Blaine sat down next to him as the Warblers moved back to their seats and immediately began a conversation with Nick who was sitting opposite. Kurt tried to follow what they were talking about but clearly he had missed some announcement about a test so he turned his attention to talk to Thad who was on his other side. They were having an interesting debate about superhero costumes and the fashion behind them when Kurt felt a hand squeeze his knee. Jumping slightly he turned his head towards Blaine who was wearing his little grim smile again.

Leaning forward to whisper in his ear Blaine said, "I know I said you didn't have to eat much but you do need to eat something." And pointed very definitely at Kurt's untouched fruit and orange juice.

"Sorry Dad," Kurt said with a grin and took a sip of the cold juice. He picked up his fork and opened the fruit salad and lifted up a slice of apple, before looking at it and deciding he really didn't want it. He put his fork back down and examined the fruit in the bowl trying to think what he potentially could choke down before taking another drink of juice. Nothing appealed to him and the thought of swallowing food made him feel nauseous. So he ended up just stirring the fruit around in an aimless fashion hoping that Blaine wouldn't notice he hadn't actually eaten.

Jeff was sitting opposite him and Kurt asked what he had missed in history. Jeff started talking when Kurt felt Blaine squeeze his knee again and nod towards the fruit, clearly it hadn't escaped his notice that there was still the same amount in the bowl as there had been at the start. Just at that moment the warning bell rang and everyone started to clear their trays ready for the first class. Jeff and Nick headed down the corridor towards history but as Kurt went to follow them Blaine grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

Looking at the deep hazel eyes and the frown line between them Kurt knew Blaine was cross. "Are you still feeling sick again because if you are you should go see the nurse."

"No, I feel a lot better this morning, I told you that."

"So why didn't you eat anything? You haven't eaten for almost a week Kurt, it's not healthy."

"Thanks for the medical advice, now if that's all I need to get to history before I get detention for being late." Kurt pulled his hand firmly from Blaine's grip and stomped off. It wasn't that he hadn't tried to eat but everything made him feel sick, he hoped his appetite would have returned by lunch because there was no way Blaine would let him avoid eating then.
