A/N: And the confetti cannons go off and the streamers and... yeah, I get it. It's been a while since I've posted on this story. But it just isn't flowing smoothly... Ok. That's a lie. I've written out a few more chapters, but finding time to type them up and post doesn't run smoothly. But hey, you got a chapter tonight didn't you? Yeah that's right. Cue them cannons. ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. In the time I've been gone I haven't been able to convince Ryan it's a good idea.

Enjoy the story and Always Remember to Smile! :)

Blaine's parents were gone when they got back, and Burt and Carole were waiting with dry towels and warm milk. Kurt thanked them and led Blaine up the stairs. By the time they sat on the edge of the bed Blaine's tears were falling again. Kurt just handed him one of the warm mugs and set out to dry his hair. Kurt gently massaged the towel through the ringlets down to Blaine's scalp, kissing his head every so often to keep Blaine's sadness at bay. When he finished, Kurt gently removed the mug from Blaine's hands and sent him into the bathroom with a set of warm, dry clothes. While he was waiting, Kurt changed his own clothes, and was sitting on the bed by the time Blaine emerged. He looked as if he had gotten a handle on his emotions now, but Kurt saw past his brave face. Kurt slipped Aladdin into the DVD player and pulled Blaine over to the bed.

"Sit still for a minute, alright? I've gotta change your bandage and rewrap your arm. It's soaking wet." Blaine looked down at his burnt arm as if for the first time and sighed. Kurt quickly unwrapped the gauze, trying to be as careful as possible. It seemed to be healing up nicely. Blaine winced as Kurt put the medication on the scars. But as soon as it had started, it was over and Kurt was wrapping fresh gauze over Blaine's arm. Kurt then moved to sit against the headboard, motioning for Blaine to join him. Blaine smiled and crawled up in between Kurt's legs, resting his head on Kurt's chest. Kurt's arms wound around Blaine's small waist and held him tight.

"Just let go. Relax. I've got you. I'll take care of you. Let it go baby." Kurt whispered. Blaine let out a shuddering breath and squeezed his eyes shut.

"Tell me you love me." Blaine said softly. Kurt kissed his hairline.

"I love you to the moon and back Blaine." And with that, Blaine drifted off to sleep.

*DBTD*

The next morning as Blaine awoke, he felt a hand drifting through his hair, over his shoulders and down his arm. It was extremely relaxing, and Blaine almost fell asleep again if not for the voices. One Blaine knew was Kurt's by the rumble in his chest that vibrated underneath Blaine, and the other Blaine figured out to be Burt. He kept his eyes shut, eavesdropping.

"I know Dad, but it really wouldn't be in Blaine's best interest to be alone. Wait, they called how many times?"

"Three. They need you to at least send in an absence slip." Blaine could feel Kurt's arm move and imagined him massaging his temples. Who had called? Why was it stressing Kurt out?

"I can do that. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna need off though."

"Give me a rough estimate to tell them."

"As long as Blaine needs me. I'm not going to put a time limit on him. He needs me, and I'm gonna be here for him. It could be two more weeks, or it could be two more months. I'm not going to leave him just because I missed a few shifts at work. Can you- If they call again- ask them to fax me a leave sheet?" Kurt sighed.

"Yeah, I can do that. How's he doing?" Burt asked. Kurt's arm went back to rubbing up and down Blaine's back. Blaine relaxed into the touch.

"About as well as anyone else would. Blaine's strong. We'll get through this." Kurt ran his fingers through Blaine's hair.

"Alright buddy. Well, the funeral is tomorrow. Maybe that can give him some closure."

"Yeah. I really hope so Dad. Visitation tonight?"

"Yep. Well, I've gotta go open the shop, but again, I'm sorry that things didn't work out with Andrew. Maybe it just means that something better is around the corner."

"Yeah Dad, me too. But you never know." And Burt was gone. Blaine was preparing his "wake up" when he heard Kurt's voice once again.

"Maybe the something better is already here." Blaine couldn't help the slow smile that spread across his face.

So,,, yeah. There's that. Read and review please? I know it's short, but if you can just find SOMETHING to say about it I would be so grateful.
