Their next 6 months were very difficult, they only saw each other a handful of times, but texted each other every day. They had made the decision, along with their families that they would just do their community service alone, and not see eachother until it was all over. Which was a lot easier said than done.

Kurt exclaimed that he missed Blaine and had been crying at night for him every couple of days when the seperation became too much.

Blaine told Kurt that he missed him too, and without Kurt by his side he hadn't been sleeping at all, and when he did sleep that it was restless and full of nightmares. They had been doing their community service, Blaine's was helping the laundry service in a local nursing home and Kurt's was picking up litter along a highway.

Burt would watch Kurt walking around their home, looking so sad and lost. No matter how often he tried to get his son to talk to him about what he was feeling, Kurt always claimed he was fine and then disappeared to his room for hours.

Burt knew that Kurt wasn't faring very well, so he decided after the community service was over with, that he would give Kurt the time he so desperately needed with Blaine. He understood how much it hurt his son to be apart fromhis boyfriend, especially after everything they had been through together.

They had kept each other safe and sane while they were away from home, and without seeing one another they are falling apart.

On the other side of town, Blaine's mother was also worried about her son, he didn't seem like the Blaine she knew. He was sad, lost, down and looked so unhealthily pale. It frightened her when she would see him almost fall over from sheer exhaustion, but whenever she suggested helping him he would push her away and claim he just needed sleep.

She knew he didn't sleep. Many nights she had heard him cry out or scream in his room, and she wanted to go inside to comfort him but whenever she had the courage to do so, it stopped and everything was silent again.

It came to a head one day, Blaine was listless and his eyes were unfocused when he came down for breakfast about 2 weeks before his communtiy service was due to finish. He fell over on the living room floor when he went to sit down, and she called out to her husband as she saw him.

They called 911 and an ambulance came to take him to the local hospital. His breathing was laboured and he couldn't be brought out of his unconsciousness. His mother was worried as she rode along with him, and stayed by his side all the way.

Once he had been admitted and seen by a doctor, they were given the diagnosis. Extreme sleep deprivation and dehydration. He had also lost weight, which confused her because she saw him eat breakfast and dinner every day.

"He also has a stomach ulcer, which is sometimes caused by stress." the doctor explained and she gasped a little.

"How? i don't understand, he's home now and everything is fine."

Her husband grabbed her shoulders in comfort, and whispered something to her and she nodded at him before he walked away. He knew there was only one way that Blaine would get better.

He walked outside and took out his phone, quickly dialling a number and waiting patiently until it clicked as it was answered.

"Hello, Burt?"

Kurt was frantic as Burt pulled into the hospital parking lot, he didn't even wait for his father to stop the truck before he jumped out and ran for the doors, Burt shouting after him to wait, but he couldn't.

As he ran past the front desk, he skidded to a stop and looked around to find any sign of Blaine's parents around. He spotted Blaine's father coming out of a door down a corridor and ran straight for him, breathing rapidly.

"Hey, where is he? Is he okay?" He asked in a panic his wide eyes sad and worried as Blaine's father gripped his shoulders tightly.

"Calm down Kurt, he will be okay." He replied, managing to satiate Kurt enough that the younger man sighed in relief, "Where's your father?"

"Parking."

"You can go ahead, Blaine's down the hall, room 325." he gestured for Kurt to go ahead, and as Kurt walked a little more calmly through the door, he turned to see Burt walking towards him, "Hey, i'm glad you could make it so quickly."

"Thanks for calling us. How is he?" Burt asked as he shook the man's hand.

"He's going to be okay, he hasn't been sleeping."

Burt nodded in understanding.

"Neither has Kurt."

While they spoke in hushed whispers, Kurt eyes them before he reached for the handle of Blaine's rooms door, and pushed it open slowly. Blaine's mom gave him a bright smile as he entered.

"Hey sweetie." She said with a tired sounding voice, and he tried to share her smile but the worry in him made his face contort into a frown instead, "he's sleeping right now. The doctor's think that he needs a lot of rest."

"He told me he wasn't sleeping, but i never thought it was this bad." Kurt told her and she nodded slightly.

"He told us too, but every time we suggested something he pushed us away."

They sat in silence for a little while, both just staring at Blaine. Until Kurt felt his legs going weak so he had to sit, and he took one of Blaine's hands in his and brought it to his lips. Kissing the back of it and rubbing his nose over Blaine's knuckles was the closest contact he had had with his boyfriend for months, and it brought tears to his eyes.

Blaine's mother moved out of her chair and leaned down next to him as the tears fell, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder tightly and pressed a kiss to his hair.

"I'm going to go and get some coffee." she whispered to him, squeezing his shoulder once more before leaving the room.

Kurt looked at Blaine's face after she left, and squeezed his hand, silently begging his boyfriend to wake and look at him, only so he could see those eyes he loved so much. He didn't know, and the dark circles underneath his eyes told Kurt that Blaine really did need this rest.

2 hours later, Kurt was yawning as he stretched his back in the chair, he had decided to stay with Blaine while Burt and Blaine's parents went down to get something to eat in the cafeteria. It was nearing 4pm now, and being in a hospital chair for all these hours was really starting to mess with Kurt's back.

"How much longer do i have to pretend to be asleep?"

The question from Blaine spooked Kurt and he yelled and fell off the chair sideways. Blaine shot up from the bed and looked down at him, rubbing his hip which had collided with the floor.

"You jerk!" Kurt yelled at him a little, before standing and glaring at him, "warn me next time."

"Sorry."

Kurt's expression melted into one of comfort and love as he stared at his boyfriend. He was awake, but he looked like he hadn't even had any sleep at all.

"Oh honey," Kurt said as he reached his arms out, Blaine doing the same as he leaned over the bed and closed his arms around Blaine's back, feeling arms wrap around his waist tightly, "i missed you."

"God i missed you Kurt." Blaine whispered into his neck, nuzzling his nose against the skin gently, causing shudders to run down Kurt's spine and goosebumps on his skin.

Blaine's touch, after all this time was lighting a fire in his blood, and Kurt couldn't help the feeling of arousal that shot through him. He wasn't ashamed of it, but he also couldn't stop it...and the need to connect with is boyfriend was so strong he had to pull back and kiss him deeply.

Blaine moaned a little in surprise and then in changed to a grunt of pleasure as he pulled Kurt against him tighter and returned the deep kiss. Pushing his tongue through Kurt's lips to wrap lazily around his, the kiss said everything that they needed.

As Kurt pulled back, he placed so many small kisses on every part of Blaine's face, causing his boyfriend to chuckle adorably and then wrapped him in a hug again.

"2 more weeks baby," Kurt whispered to him, "just push through 2 more weeks, and then community service is over and we can do whatever we want."

"I know, it's just so hard without you around." Blaine replied with a sigh and Kurt placed their foreheads together.

"We're never apart, do you hear me?" he said sternly, but held a loving smile on his face, "no matter what we're doing, or how far we are apart physically, i'll always be with you. And i know you're with me. When you dream, dream of me."

"Oh Kurt," Blaine melted against him, dropping another lazy kiss against his lips before answering, "i always dream of you. Always. I love you."

"I love you too Bee, forever."

"Forever." Blaine repeated and they both breathed in such a deep sigh of relief it had them laughing together.

Their parents walked back in to see their sons giggling together on the bed.
