DAY 9 ( Tuesday, December 10th)

Nathan had slept on the sofa because he was afraid to wake Kurt up. He woke up pretty early so he could think about the way he was going to explain him why he didn't get back before 2 o' clock in the morning…

At his awakening, Kurt was completely lost, Nathan wasn't in their bed. He immediately got up and ran to the sitting room to control his phone, but in the middle of the sitting room he saw Nathan walking round and round, he looked very nervous…

Nathan! But where have you been? I came home early last night, you weren't there, I didn't stop trying to call you!

Yes, I'm so sorry Kurt, since you told me you were going to be late, I went out with some mates at the café, there was a lot of noise and I didn't hear the phone.

Oh! That's it?

What?

That's it? It's true that you could have texted me you were going out last night, but since I had told you I was going to come home late, you just took advantage of that.

Are you upset?

Why do you want me to be upset?

Huh, no, no, nothing, I'm just surprised, that's all. Last night went well, I've been with Nick and Joey ,it's been cool, we had a lot of fun.

Nathan couldn't get over the fact that Kurt believed everything he was telling him, he felt so guilty for lying like that, easily … but he couldn't really tell him he was with Kyle, he wasn't doing anything wrong after all, so finally, thinking about it, it wasn't such a big lie. After breakfast he went to take his shower while Kurt was reading the newspaper waiting for him to come back. Nathan's phone didn't stop buzzing and this was really starting to worry him. This might have been important…he ended up picking up the phone.

Hello.

Nathan?

No, it's Kurt Hummel, Nathan's not here now, do you want to leave a message?

Mmmm…yes, if you could just tell him that Kyle called, it would be great

No, problem, have a good day he said sounding very nice

When he was hanging up the phone, Nathan came back to the sitting room telling him the bathroom was free, Kurt got up from the sofa and headed to the bathroom. When he got in the corridor, he turned around and said to Nathan:

By the way, a certain Kyle just called you on the phone, I think you should call him back.

Kyle! he was completely panicked What did he tell you?

Nothing actually, he just wanted to talk to you

Oh…okay he sighed in relief

Who's he ?

Nobody important, a new trainee who looks a little lost, he proposed him my help to help him taking his notes

aw, that's so nice of you! he said smiling

Well, yes, I can be nice sometimes, you see! he said winking

C'mon, I'm going to take a shower, I suppose you're leaving for work, so see you tonight, ok?

Tonight, darling

Kurt went out the shower and got to the office for the second day of photoshooting, that day that was a half an hour earlier than usual since he had already received several requests about presenting the photos of his new collection during galas. He needed to study them to choose at which event Blaine and himself had to go to before he was leaving for California. Thinking back about it, Kurt had had a twinge in his heart, this made him sad. He pushed the office's door and found Blaine sitting in the middle of the room crying.

Blaine ! what are you doing here? What's going on? Why are you crying?

Blaine quickly held his head up, he was shocked to see Kurt there at that hour, he quickly dried his eyes, got up and said:

Kurt… I'm sorry, I got bad news this night, I was all alone in the hotel and I don't like that place very much, so I decided to come here, I feel better here, sorry, I should have not come here without your permission he said looking down and starting to cry again

Kurt didn't think twice, he threw himself on Blaine holding him with his arms.

Why didn't you call me, Blaine? You should have called me, I'm your friend, tell me what's going on please, I beg you he begged

Blaine's cry intensified, now he was firmly taking hold of Kurt's waist hiding in the crook of his neck, Kurt shivered at Blaine's the cold and wet breath on his naked skin. His heart was beating faster, he felt always more uncomfortable to feel all this because of Blaine, but he didn't want to leave him, Blaine wasn't fine and he needed him. After several minutes Blaine moved back and started to talk, Kurt slightly moaned at the loss of touch.

Cooper had had a car accident tonight, the person that sent him to hospital called me at 3am, he wasn't conscious, he hospital had to call me in 10 minutes usually.

Why didn't you call me? I could have joined you, you could have not had to wait half of the night alone!

I didn't want to bother you, Kurt…

You never bother me, ok? Look at me Blaine, you don't bother me, really, you must call me when you're not doing fine, ok? Promise?

Promise

Blaine's phone started to ring, he looked at Kurt and started shaking while picking up

Yes…

Mister Blaine Anderson.

Yes, it's me

I'm calling you for your brother, he doesn't have anything serious, I reassure you right away, the shock has not been brutal , he stubbed his head the windshield during the accident and he lost consciousness . he woke up at the hospital, everything's going fine now. We'll keep him here for observation for 48 hours but then he'll be free to go home

[…] fine, thank you, goodbye.

Some tears came down Blaine's cheeks, he remained stoical.

What's going on Blaine? Tell me, what happened? Is Cooper ok?

Without warning Blaine screamed a big YES and took Kurt's face in his hands to kiss him. At first Kurt was surprised, he held both his hands up in the air but didn't break the kiss, the kiss was so tender… after a few seconds, Kurt came around and moved away from Blaine.

Blaine, I can't …

Oh my God Kurt, I'm so sorry, I didn't want to do that, I don't know what happened to me, I'm sorry.

It's nothing he said paralyzed, cheeks red. Because deep inside her knew he appreciated the kiss as much as Blaine did and felt so terribly guilty for that I can understand, you're tired, distressed, and suddenly you got great news and you're happy, that's nothing, just, don't start again ok?

Of course I won't start again […] not without your permission anyway he said with a wink

And they started to laugh, laughing for 5 minutes, they couldn't stop. After having taken their breath, Blaine changed to be ready for when Pascal will arrive for the photoshoot and Kurt did all he could to hold himself from looking at him undressing, but that was a waste of time! The rest of the day went with joy and relax. Right before Kurt got back from work, Nathan got a text from Kyle:

For Nathan

I've missed you today, I need to see you, is tomorrow possible?

He quickly replied at the text before Kurt turned the key in the lock:

For Kyle

I'll see what I can do…
