Blaine and Kurt are enjoying each other's company on the bed. They love the fact that they are the comfort factors for each other right now. After a good 15 minutes, Kurt hears a soft voice.
' We will get through this together, alright? And Kurt, I will be staying here with you till tomorrow. You cannot send me back to school. Your leave letter is also submitted and accepted, granting you permission for a week. ', Kurt nods softly as Blaine says this.
'Thank you, Blaine. It means so much to me. I owe so much to you and Mercedes', Kurt smiles.
' You owe me nothing Kurt, I am just helping my f-friend. Uhh...I would like to take you to a place tomorrow evening.' Kurt opens his mouth to decline Blaine's offer.
'No Kurt, no declining. You are ...not declining my offer, prince.'
Kurt is surprised by all the name-calling from Blaine. He lowkey likes it but Kurt feels it lovingly weird to hear it for the first time.
'Prince?'
'Yeah. Now Your Highness, may I leave you for some time here, so I can get my clothes from my friend and return back?' Kurt smiles sheepishly with all the name-calling again. Kurt nods, still lying on the bed.
Blaine goes downstairs to drive to the park. Burt, Mercedes, Santana, and Brittany are sitting in the living room, discussing something when Burt sees Blaine and nods.
' Kurt is a little fine, sir. He's doing fine. I am going to get my clothes and school works from my friend. I'll return back soon, Mr. Hummel,' Blaine gives the answer to the expected question.
Burt nods realizing he's been staying here since yesterday and needs a break.
Blaine drives to the park and finds David, who was already waiting for him.
'Hey Blaine, good to see you. I've brought your clothes, school works, and don't worry, I am covering up for you, and everything is fine,' Dave tells as he hugs Blaine. ' Now tell me what happened.'
Blaine is searching for the right words to convey in a shallow way. ' umm... I am with a friend to help him , you know, his brother died and as a friend, i am helping him in his hard times.'
'And, who is that friend?'
' From the park. I met him ..umm... a month and a half back. Here at the park. He's a good friend. '. Dave knows Blaine is hiding something with his stutters. But, he couldn't ask seeing the tired Blaine.
'Well, come back soon, Blaine. And go take rest, you are looking exhausted.' David hands Blaine's things and Blaine gives him a tight hug mouthing a thank you. Dave gives a friendly pat and sees Blaine going back to his car.
Blaine feels his stomach grumbling like crazy. Spending time comforting Kurt made him forget about his own essentials. He gets a medium drip, a grilled bacon sandwich, some mint chewing gums, and a few packets of ORS, just in case.
Blaine opens the door to find just Burt sitting in the living room.
' Hey Blaine, can we talk for a few minutes?' Blaine is quite surprised. This is the first Blaine hears somebody like a father figure talking so politely, unlike his dad', who is strict and not a person to whom one can share all things.
' Sure, Mr. Hummel. ' Burt welcomes him with a warm smile to the couch. Blaine sits slowly.
' Kurt has never spoken about you, Blaine. Are you going with him to school?'
' uhh..No Sir. I am actually from the Dalton Academy, Westerville. I met Kurt at Lima Park, Sir. We became friends just a month and a half back. He's a great friend, Sir. He's sweet and clever.'
' Yeah, he gets that from his mom. I did not know he goes to the park. Well, umm...Thank you for being with Kurt, Blaine. I didn't honestly know how to handle Kurt. Carson is my son, yes. It is so..umm.. so heartbreaking to lose a son, especially after you lose a loved one already. You know ..Kurt's mom..'
Blaine can see Burt's pain in his eyes, he can see Burt facing so much pressure in him. Blaine gently places his hand on Burt's for comfort.
' He's told me about that, Sir. I know it's so devastating for Kurt. It's my pleasure to help as his friend sir.' Blaine smiles pleasantly.
' Um...fine. I don't know if he's told you, But he is gay. And I know most people are not accepting that.'
' oh, I am totally fine with that, Sir. It doesn't matter what he is, Sir. He is an amazing friend and I am lucky to find him. And, in case if you are wondering, I have a girlfriend, Sir. '
Burt is truly happy to find Kurt having a good friend who doesn't judge him as the rest of the world does. ' Oh son, You look so tired. I've arranged a guest room for you. You can use it or it's fine even if you stay with Kurt.'
'I'll stay with Kurt, Sir. I need to watch him over. Kurt hasn't had anything for 3 days and that made him vomit. I've given him ORS and he's doing well. I have to make sure if he eats. Can I take my leave, sir?' Burt nods as Blaine leaves.
Kurt sees Blaine opening the door with a bag.
'Hey forgot to ask you. Do you want to have a shower? I have no problem with you using my bathroom. And did you have anything? Can I cook?'
' Oh no, Kurt. I ate on my way. And yeah, Thanks for the offer!'. Blaine goes in to refresh himself. As he is having a shower, Blaine casually scans through all the products on the rack. Most of them are skincare routine products and some boxes of a familiar kind -the concealers. Why should Kurt have more of these boxes? does Burt know about this?
Blaine decides to keep this in the back of his mind and decides to sing randomly, going away from reality. After his shower and dressing up, Blaine comes out fully dressed. Blaine goes to the vanity to apply his hair gel.
' Do you really want to gel your hair?' a voice comes. There is Kurt sitting with Mercedes by his side, trying to do his schoolwork. Kurt's schoolwork are seeming like Greek and Latin for him. But, he tries doing them, hoping it gets better day by day. Blaine stares at Kurt as if he asked to give him 10 million dollars.
'Trust me, Blaine. I am not gonna eat your hair. Please, don't gel it today.' Blaine puts his hair gel away in disgust.
Mercedes is trying to hide her laugh. She feels happy internally by the way Kurt is coping with his situation. Blaine sits on the chair beside, to do his schoolwork, while Mercedes is helping Kurt with his. Mercedes leaves them soon, as she finishes helping Kurt with his work.
Carole brings the two, some takeaways for them. She doesn't want to disturb them, but she is also happy to see Kurt doing good. The day ends with Kurt writing to his mom for the first time after 3 days, he is taking his time.
Blaine decides to draw something and scans for content. He takes a paper and starts drawing Kurt from the side view. Blaine finds the sight of Kurt writing something to be an art piece worth to be drawn. He admires Kurt from different angles as he draws him flawlessly. It's time for bed and Kurt and Blaine are getting on the bed.
'Good night, Kurt. Remember I am always there next to you. Want my shoulder?' Blaine offers.
Blaine speaks the exact words of Carson. He can't believe it. He is not there physically, but his words are revolving around him. Kurt leans on Blaine's shoulder to get at least some comfort, if not to the level of Carson. And he isn't disappointed.
Blaine finds himself in a place that is no more a white place, He's standing in some oddly familiar yet unfamiliar magical place. It seems to be a place filled with large, tall trees. He is standing there, behind a tree, which is familiar strangely. He peeks from behind the tree to find where this place is leading to. He stands there hugging a tree, so close, as he sees the bench from his previous dream.
The walk through the pathway to the bench is so pleasing. It is so calm, that he can clearly hear the breeze and the rustling of the leaves on his path. He also notices beautiful lanterns handling from the trees all through his way.
As he moves closer and closer, he is hearing the same pleasant tune and it is getting louder and louder. He finds himself finally standing behind the bench, where he notices the same boy sitting there. He places his hand gently on the boy's shoulder. But he doesn't turn.
Suddenly, everything around Blaine seems to be fading and finally just a white place.
It's Blaine's 3rd day at Kurt's home and he is already loving it more than his own house. Blaine joins Burt and Carole in the living room. This has been Blaine's dream of being in a family- a friendly and warm chatting, laughing, and speaking one's heart out. Carole and Finn are taking a leave from work and school and everybody is at home, except for Burt.
Breakfast is already ready and Blaine picks a plate for Kurt and himself. He goes up to find Kurt already up and brushing his teeth. He keeps the plates on the desk and waits for Kurt. They sit together to eat and Blaine decides to help Kurt with the house chores. Kurt refuses to allow Blaine in helping Kurt, But Blaine is adamant. Getting to stay in such an amazing home should he repaid, Blaine thought.
Most of their chores goes with Kurt and Carole talking. Kurt notices the silent Blaine cleaning the tea table . Kurt is not good at reading people's mind, but he isn't dumb to not know something is going in Blaine's mind that is quite troubling him. This is not the first time that he notices this. He had noticed this during their park visits too. Kurt knows that Blaine is a very disciplined, kinda perfect child time, but this is different.
Kurt doesn't want to ask about this , as Carole is here. Finn come from his room and sits on the couch.
'Looks like somebody's sun has just raised. Hey honey!' Carole's voice comes from the kitchen.
'Hey mom. I'm hungry. where is the breakfast? Oh there.. Aright. Hey Blaine, do like playing video games?' Finn turns to Blaine in a lazy manner.
' Yeah,I'd love to' and there goes Blaine with Finn to his room. The lunch is done and Blaine offers to do dishes with Carole. The rest of the Afternoon goes with their schoolwork with Blaine reminding of their outing today.
It's time and Kurt gets up to get ready. He picks his clothes and goes into the bathroom. It is the first time after all the happenings to look at his face properly. Dark circles are slightly forming . Kurt doesn't mind them Because he is looking at himself. The similar face of his dead brother. He can't bear seeing his face on the mirror anymore. He turns away, getting reminded by his brother.
Kurt is still not that ready to face himself and the truth. He gathers a little courage to apply his concealer on the bruises, that are so visible on his face and hands. He doesn't want to treat them, he doesn't want to speak about them, He just wants to hide them ,just like trying to hide his pain and sufferings.
Kurt comes out to see Blaine finish dressing up himself and of course, the hairgel is used.
Kurt points at Blaine's head frowning and Blaine goes,' I don't want to petrify anybody on the streets ,Kurt. Now come on, Let's get going.' Kurt rolls his eyes and follows him.
The ride goes with not much talking. Blaine feels like he is driving with somebody and not Kurt. Kurt looks different yet beautiful,just isn't usual products and hair sprays. Blaine prefers to see him like this, but Kurt doesn't like to. Blaine is driving on the road to Westerville, where he goes to school.
Kurt has plugging in his earphones to his iPod and Blaine doesn't disturb him. It's getting dark and Blaine gets satisfied with the right time. He parks in some unfamiliar place that Kurt can't recognize. It is getting dark fast ; Blaine sees the confused face of Kurt.
Blaine opens the door for Kurt to get down.
'Where are you taking me?' Kurt asks as he takes his earphone off.
'It's a surprise, Kurt. Just follow me. Im not gonna kidnap you ,don't worry'. Blaine walks leading the curiosity filled Kurt. Kurt's curiosity grows slowly as they pass through the hairy bushes. Kurt doesn't care about his clothes getting ruined, not anymore. Kurt lets his curiosity drive through the bushes.
Blaine stops suddenly and Kurt tries to look above Blaine's shoulder. Kurt can't see anything.
' Did you bring me here just to see this barren field?' Kurt asks, not out of annoyance.
' Wait', Blaine says softly and keeps a step further. Kurt notices some light flickering around Blaine's legs.
Blaine passes his hand through the grass in the barren field and waits for the thing to happen.
Kurt starts to open his mouth in awe as he sees something magical happening. He can see small dots of light going up from the grass. ' Welcome to the Firefly sight, Kurt.' Blaine whispers.
Kurt throws himself upon Blaine, Hugging his tightly. Kurt runs through the field, swayyig his hands through the grass and seeing them fly. Blaine stands there, looking mesmeringly at kurt. How gorgeous he is!
Kurt is getting tired and they decides to sit together in the middle of the field. They are sitting close together; Kurt plugging in the earphones into his ears. Kurt is loving the serenity of the field, the flickering fire flies like flying laterns.
'May I have a ear?' A familiar voice comes. Blaine asks extending his hand.
'Sure. Uhh..this reminds me of Carson. This is my comfort song,' Kurt says blushing.
Blaine fixes the earpiece into his ear and starts to listen. Blaine has heard the tune before.
Blaine quickly recognizes it.
It is from his dream.
