Another chapter for you. A big thanks to Markslove my beta.

Blaine woke to the sound of his daughter crying. Still half asleep he rushed towards her room, but promptly stopped when he felt something soft, squishy and wet beneath his feet. Looking down he noticed that the carpet was wet. "Fuck." He continued on to her room. As he pushed the door to her bedroom open his heart broke. Poor Ruby was in distress. Tears streamed down her face and her hair was rumpled.

"Dada" she whimpered.

As Blaine entered her room he noticed that the water hit his ankle. "Shit" he mumbled. "Come here honey." Extending his arms, he grabbed her and twinkle the ballerina bear before turning and heading back to his room. Placing his daughter on the bed he crouched down so he was eye level. "Stay her with twinkle. Dada will be back in two minutes" he held up two fingers.

Ruby mimicked him.

"Good girl" he kissed her forehead "stay here." Grabbing his phone he rushed back into Ruby's room.

Kurt's phone ringing woke him up "shut up" he mumbled sleepily. Rubbing his eyes he reached for the phone. People call this late when it's something bad. His blurry eyes looked at the name on the phone Blaine. "Blaine?"

"Kurt." Kurt quickly sat up. "Kurt? You there?"

"Y-yeah. What's wrong?"

"Shhh Ruby it's okay." Blaine said to his daughter "my house is flooded. There's water everywhere in Ruby's room. I-I... She's really upset Kurt."

Kurt squeezed his eyes closed Oh thank god they're okay. "Blaine, take some deep breath's for me. That's it."

"Kurt. Blaine's voice was a whisper "c-can Rubes and I come and stay with you?"

"Of course. Pack up some things and head over. Have you called the super?"

Blaine nodded before realising Kurt couldn't see "yeah he's working on it now. Suggested I stay elsewhere for a few days."

"Come stay with us."

"Y-you sure?"

"Of course silly. I'm going to hang up now but I'll see you soon."

As soon as the call ended Kurt jumped out of bed and headed to the hallway closet. "Where is it?" He mumbled as he fished around "ah-huh." Smiling Kurt pulled out the box containing Olivia's portable cot. Rushing to his office he dumped the contents on the floor and began to set it up. Once it was set up he moved to pull out the futon. Ten minutes later Kurt found himself in the lounge waiting for the coffee to finish brewing. Sleepily he looked at the clock 2.35am. No wonder he was tired.

A knock on the door pulled him out of his sleepy state. Running his hand down his face he shuffled towards the door. Greeting him on the other side was a very dishevelled looking Blaine holding a sleeping Ruby with bags laid at his feet.

"Kurt. Thanks you so much for this."

"It's no problem" Kurt assured as he opened the door further.

With the bags now sitting in the lounge, Kurt showed Blaine to his office where he and Ruby would be staying.

"Kurt" Blaine shook his head "we can't take your office."

Kurt rolled his eyes "don't be silly. You can and will. Now put Ruby to bed and I'll make us a coffee."

Blaine smiled gratefully and moved his baby girl to her temporary bed. Taking a deep breath Blaine walked to the kitchen.

"Coffee's on the bench." Kurt informed him from the lounge.

Coffee cup in hand Blaine headed to the couch where Kurt was curled up.

"She asleep?"

Blaine nodded and sat at the opposite end of the couch. "Sorry to intrude like this, but, I didn't know where else to go."

"It's fine Blaine." Kurt smiled at him "more than fine."

"You sure?"

Kurt nodded enthusiastically. "So what did the super say?" Kurt asked after a minute or so of silence.

"He suspects that it's a burst pipe in the wall behind Ruby's room."

Kurt winced at the thought.

"A lot of her stuff is going to be ruined."

"Oh Blaine I'm sorry."

Blaine smiled "S'okay. Thankfully Rubes woke me up."

"She okay?"

Blaine nodded "she will be."

Kurt stretched his legs out on the couch "what about you?" He poked Blaine's leg with his toes "will you be okay?"

"Y-yeah. It's just a little water right?"

"Blaine a bath is a little water, a puddle is a little water, having your daughter's bedroom walls dripping and the carpet soaked is not a little water. It's your home Blaine, you have every right to be upset."

Blaine smiled at his friend "Thanks Kurt. You really are great."

Kurt smiled in return "I am very much aware of my greatness. But it's still nice to hear it."

"Are you always this confident?"

Kurt waved his hand around "oh it's all just a ruse really."

Both men looked at each other before taking a sip of their coffees.

"You can go to bed if you like Kurt. You don't have to stay up with me."

"It's fine. I like talking to you."

"I like it too" Blaine confessed in a whisper. "I wished I'd met you earlier."

Kurt nodded slowly. "Me too. But we know each other now; that's all the matters. Do you wanna watch a movie?"

Blaine smile brightly "I'd love to."

"Great" Kurt jumped up and wandered to his movie collection "okay don't laugh but this is one of my favourite movies."

"When Harry met Sally." Blaine read the title "it's a great movie."

Kurt nodded before excitedly rushing to put it in the DVD player. While Kurt readied the movie Blaine shuffled until he was lying down on the couch.

Kurt turned and smiled at his friend. "Comfy?"

"Uh-huh."

Kurt chuckled and curled up at the other end before pressing play.

"I love this movie." Blaine confessed quietly.

"Mmm me too. S'one of my favourites." Snuggling further into the couch Kurt sighed happily.

"Kurt?" Blaine whispered a few minutes later. "Do you think we'll ever find what they have?"

Kurt smiled as he looked at his friend "I hope so. Hopefully it won't take that long though. Seriously those two need to get their act together."

They both chuckled before returning back to the movie.

Slowly Blaine felt his eyes begin to get heavy. He knew that he should move to the pull out couch in Kurt's office but he was so comfy.

Three quarters of the way through the movie Kurt looked over at Blaine to find him asleep.

"So cute" he whispered as he carefully got off the couch. Grabbing the throw from the back of the couch he placed it over Blaine. Seeing Blaine smile and snuggle down into the blanket caused Kurt to giggle. "Good night Blaine."

Padding softly to his room he got into bed. He couldn't help but smile. He and Blaine were under the same roof. As he fell asleep his sleepy brain thought of all the fun he could have pretending that Blaine was his.

Let me know what you think. Please?
