A/N: Thank you for being so patient with me. I wanted to make this chapter longer but writers block crept up half way through. I apologise for this. Let me know what you think. X
Chapter 34
Blaine was bored, he had been at the centre for almost an hour now and Kurt hadn't shown up. He wasn't worried, he knew that if something had happened then he would have been told. He didn't like the centre without Kurt, the noise was too loud; yet when Kurt was there and they were running around and giggling together that wasn't loud enough, the pictures that the other students drew were boring, they didn't have the enthusiasm for pink and glitter like Kurt did and as he stared at the drying rack, it was weird not seeing one of Kurt's pictures there. He sighed and moved around on the small sofa, the sofa that he was so accustomed to sitting on with Kurt. He sighed and got his book out and started to read, hoping that Kurt would be there soon.
It was almost eleven when Finn and Kurt walked in. Blaine heard Finn's loud voice straight away and turned up towards the door, Blaine frowned when he saw Kurt. His hair was immaculate, no soft strand out of place, he wore tight black jeans, with shiny white Doc Martin boots, a white tee with a black waist coat and bow tie on top. He looked amazing, but there was something strange about it. "Look there's Blaine." Finn said and pointed over to Blaine who smiled up at them. Kurt looked over and his face lit up in a smile. "Pick you up later." Finn smiled and hugged him. Blaine watched, even the hug seemed weird for Kurt.
"Bye." Kurt whispered and hugged Finn back lightly, before walking over to Blaine and wrapping his arms around him. The hug was tight, desperate even. "Hello." Kurt whispered, resting his head against Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine frowned, something was wrong. He rubbed his back softly, feeling Kurt shiver and lean in against him. "Hey," He whispered back and pressed a gentle kiss to Kurt's cheek. Blaine felt Kurt smile against him and that made Blaine smile too. "Hoe come you're here so late?" Blaine asked quietly, leading them to the sofa and wrapping his arms around him.
"I had a bad dream last night." Kurt mumbled, resting against him. "I was tired." He says quietly, playing with Blaine's fingers, watching their hands intently.
"Oh." Blaine rubs his back and holds him tighter, wishing that he could protect him from the demons in his past and dreams. "Do you want to talk about it?" Blaine asked softly, his hands still rubbing Kurt's back and arms hoping that he was feeling better now.
Kurt shook his head, he didn't want to talk about it because he didn't understand. He had a headache, and he just wanted to stay curled up with Blaine for the rest of the day because Blaine's arms made him feel safe, and he liked feeling safe with Blaine. Ever since he had woken up from that dream things hadn't made sense. He hadn't fallen back to sleep, he had just stayed curled up with his teddy thinking through the dream. It was scary and he didn't like it but he couldn't think of anything else. Then Finn had woken up and started to sing in the shower. Kurt thought Finn had a nice voice, but he hadn't heard him sing before, not properly, but now with him singing he could see pictures in his mind of him singing, and he could hear the different songs he sung too. It had all added to his headache and made him curl up smaller.
"What do you want to do?" Blaine asked. It was weird, Kurt hadn't said anything, he had just sat in silence for ten minutes and that wasn't right, not for Kurt. Blaine started to think if he had done anything wrong, but he didn't think he did. Surely if he had then Kurt wouldn't be cuddling up to him right?
"Can we stay like t his?" Kurt whispers. "I'm still sleepy." He mumbles and rests his head against Blaine's shoulder. Blaine nodded and kept a tight hold of him. He kept rubbing his back softly and soon he realised that Kurt had fallen asleep against him. Blaine smiled softly watching him, Kurt was just tired, there was nothing to worry about, right?
