Kurt broke things off with Cody about a month later, Blaine had also broken things off with Sarah.
The differences between breaking up with a man, and breaking up with a woman, were huge. Sarah had stormed their building, demanding to know why Blaine would split up with her and shouting her mouth off about being in love and telling Blaine things that she has never told anyone else, and Kurt understood why she was upset.
She invested too much into an affair, and in the end Blaine wouldn't leave Kurt for her, he wouldn't leave Kurt for anyone, and that is the difference. Because women threw feelings at you, men didn't.
Blaine had sighed as she had stormed back out of the building, crying. Kurt was silent in the kitchen, mulling over a couple of things for work.
"Erm..." Blaine had started and Kurt looked up at him from his papers, "That was...yeah...sorry about that."
"It's ok...it happens." Kurt replied with a small smile and went back to his work, hearing Blaine release a sigh as he sat next to him.
"So, whatcha working on?" Blaine asked as Kurt was filling in patterns.
"I have this big show coming up soon, and I'm one of 3 designers that they are showcasing, and I have to make 4 outstanding outfits to represent my skills." Kurt explained with a flourish and Blaine smiled.
"They have a theme?" He asked and Kurt shook his head.
"Nope, it's just fashion skills coming into play, so I'm trying to tap into all my old creativity."
"I'm sure you'll pull some out of that brilliant mind," Blaine said as he ran his fingers through Kurt's coif gently, "there's no-one I know that could pull off a woman's knee-length sweater as well as you."
Kurt laughed and then grimaced slightly.
"Yeah, I was a little extreme back then."
His phone rang on the counter and Blaine handed it to him.
"Hello."
"Hello, may I speak with a Mr. Kurt Hummel, please?" A rough male voice sounded down the line, and Kurt raised an eyebrow.
"This is he, who's speaking?" Blaine raised an eyebrow too as Kurt spoke to the stranger on the phone.
"Mr. Hummel, I'm afraid we have some bad news. I'm Detective Watts, with Ohio Police Department, there has been an accident."
Kurt's face went pale and his eyes widened, and Blaine was worried he may pass out, something was wrong.
"What? I-who? erm...what happened?"
"Your father and step mother were involved in a traffic collision around 9pm yesterday evening, we had just been informed that they didn't make it, I'm very sorry-"
Kurt didn't hear another word, he dropped the phone as he started hyperventilating and Blaine picked the phone back up, before asking Kurt what was wrong.
Kurt couldn't speak, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't think. He felt sick. He needed to be sick. He rushed past Blaine to the bathroom. Blaine sat in shock for a moment, before he could hear a voice coming from the phone's speaker, and he placed it against his ear.
"Mr. Hummel are you there?!"
"Kurt isn't here right now, I'm his husband, Blaine, what's going on?" He asked frantically, the nerves in his gut writhing as the officer on the phone explained.
And after the officer had explained it to Blaine, he ran to his own bathroom to throw up too, leaving the phone call to keep running in the kitchen.
Blaine had had enough sense to calm his own nerves, before heading to look for Kurt, phone call be damned.
Kurt was curled up on his bathroom floor sobbing, and Blaine's heart broke for him. He was mumbling to himself and shaking, his hair a complete mess, from running his hands through it, and he was wailing between words, Blaine could hardly understand him.
He walked into the bathroom and scooped him up off of the floor, taking him back to Blaine's side of the apartment, and laying him down in his bed, while he went to get Kurt a glass of water.
When he came back, Kurt was still shaking and mumbling, so he put the water on the side dresser, and climbed onto the bed with Kurt, wrapping his arms around him tentatively, not knowing if Kurt would accept the comfort from him or not.
As Kurt raised his arms, Blaine waited to be pushed away, but Kurt wrapped his finger in the front of Blaine's shirt and dragged him closer, burying his face into his chest and sobbing loudly. Blaine's arms tightened around him and the shaking slowly went away, Kurt was still crying and Blaine could now hear what he had been mumbling.
"No, no...can't...no...dad...Alice..."
Alice. Alice!
'Oh my god,' Blaine thought, 'what if something happened to little Alice?'
He hadn't picked the phone back up after he threw up, he was too busy comforting Kurt. Kurt would be devastated if something happened to his little sister. It's going to be tough for him, now that Burt and Carole are gone, but if he lost his baby sister it would kill Kurt too.
Blaine squeezed him tighter as he ran through his own head, and he hadn't realised that Kurt had fallen to sleep until he released his grip. He left Kurt curled up on the bed, while he went to go and pick up the phone from the kitchen.
He'll have to be a husband now.
He called Kurt's workplace, informing his boss of a recent family tragedy and that Kurt may not be at work for a while, she was very sweet and had said if there was anything she could do for him, to call her. Next he phoned his mom and told her, she was so shocked that Blaine heard the phone clatter to the floor, before he heard his mom's choked emotional voice, telling him to take care of Kurt.
He called the Ohio Police Department back after all that, and asked for information.
"This is Detective Watts, I believe I'm speaking to a Blaine Anderson-Hummel?"
"Yes, it's me. I'm sorry I dropped the phone earlier, I had to go and comfort Kurt." Blaine explained and the detective hummed down the line.
"I understand. Is he around?"
"He's sleeping."
"It's an emotional time, I understand-"
"Detective, do you know anything about his sister, Alice Hummel. Was she...hurt?" Blaine asked, fearful of the answer.
"No, she's perfectly fine, she was with a babysitter, but she has no-one right now." The detective explained and Blaine let out the breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Oh thank god...wait, what do mean 'has no-one?'"
"I mean that she has no living relative other than Kurt, so we will need Mr. Hummel to come and collect her."
"Wait what?" Blaine asked again, a little confused with what was going on. "Kurt has to come and get her?"
"Yes...when things like this happen the children are always given to living relatives, but if the relatives refuse then they get put into the system."
"S-system?"
"To be adopted."
Blaine couldn't imagine Kurt giving her up. No he knew he wouldn't.
"Mr. Anderson-Hummel?"
"Sorry Detective, yes?"
"We need Kurt to come to the Ohio Police Department, to fill in some information before he can take his sister, will you relay this to him, and ask him to call and ask for Detective Watts?" He explained again and Blaine nodded along, taking it all in.
"Yes, sure. Of course."
"Thank you. Let him know that I'll see him soon then, Goodnight."
The call disconnected and Blaine felt a little numb. He wasn't ready to be a dad. That's essentially what he would become if Alice came to stay with them, they would be raising her, or Kurt would, but Blaine would still be here. Would Kurt want to do it on his own? Or would he ask for Blaine's help?
He had no idea what he was going to do. But he would tell Kurt everything when he woke up, and they could decide what to do, together.
