Authors note: I swore I would never write a Steph and Kurt fic but SmackDown tonight gave me the idea. Damn SmackDown all to hell!
We Don't Have To Talk About ThisDwayne sat I the chair next to where Kurt was laying. He had been there for about 5 hours and Kurt was still sound a sleep. They had him hooked up to all kinds of machines but the Doctor's said they thought he would recover just fine. Dwayne noticed Kurt stirring and started to get up but sat back down when he saw Kurt wasn't awake.
"D, how is he?"
Dwayne looked up and saw Stephanie standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hey Steph. He has been asleep since I got here. Come in and have a seat. You don't have to stand in the doorway.
Stephanie smiled and walked into the room. She had roses with her…red, white, and blue roses to be exact.
"Steph, that's to sweet! Where in the blue hell did you find blue roses?"
Steph laughed a little. "Actually Shane spray painted then for me."
Dwayne just laughed and watched Stephanie as she sat them next to Kurt's bed. He couldn't help but notice Stephanie was acting a little shy and maybe even a little standoffish.
"Steph, is something bothering you? I know Kurt is usually the person you talk to but I am pretty good at listening too. You want to go to the cafeteria and grab a bite to eat?"
"I would love to, D."
Rock nodded and glanced over at Kurt to make sure he was ok. Still sleeping Dwayne thought.
Dwayne and Stephanie walked downstairs together. Stephanie wasn't talking much so Dwayne started the conversation.
"Steph, whatever is bothering you don't worry about it. You can talk to The Rock." Dwayne raised his famous eyebrow and got his evil smile on his face that everyone loved so much. He made Stephanie smile.
"D, I don't know how much Kurt has told you about us but I am scared to death. Kurt always comes to me when he is hurting and I can't believe he would do something like this. Why would he try and take his life? He has so much going for him right now." Stephanie started crying and Dwayne wrapped her up in his arms. He just let her cry into his chest.
"Steph, I know how you feel honey but its going to be OK. He didn't succeed and we can find out why when he recovers some. You know he is going to have to go to counseling for this. That might just be what he needs."
"What's going to happen when the media founds out about this? His image could be ruined. What hero tries to take their own life?"
"Calm down, babe. We have many things happen before hat we all managed to keep under wraps. How did you find out anyway?"
"My dad called me as soon as he heard. The word is spreading through the locker room and its spreading fast, D."
Dwayne just shook his head. Damn news always travels fast around this damn company.
"Well Steph you know Kurt as well as I do and he don't want a pity party. I really think Kurt is sick and needs help. We will just have to be there for him."
"I will always be there for him, D and for you too. We can be each others support during this."
Dwayne just smiled and hugged Stephanie again.
"Come on lets go back up to his room. Maybe he will be awake. I know he will be glad to see us."
Stephanie and Dwayne walked back to Kurt's room. When they got there Kurt was in fact awake and he was holding a blur rose from Stephanie's arrangement.
"This is freaking awesome. I have never seen blue roses in my life." Kurt said. He was smiling and Dwayne and Stephanie were both glad for that.
"Shane spray painted them for you. They were all white."
Kurt flicked his cute smile. "That sweet, Steph. I wondered why I got a head rush when I smelled it."
"How you feel, buddy?" Dwayne asked.
Kurt shifted in the bed some and then looked down at his wrists.
"D, I don't know. I wasn't hoping to wake up… Who found me anyway?"
Dwayne raised his hand. "I probably wouldn't have found you as soon as I did though if Thor wouldn't have tried to attack me."
"Thor? My dog? He's afraid of his own shadow."
"Believe it or not but he was the one that showed me where you were."
"That's awesome too. Huh, imagine that he isn't a daddy's boy." Kurt laughed. Dwayne had to smile at the comment. Kurt loved that damn dog so much. He remembered when Karen first left Kurt was threatening so sue her for custody so she just let him have the dog.
"Hey, Steph. You don't have to look at me like a circus attraction. I wont bite or anything."
"I know that. I just don't really know what to say is. Forgive me if I am at a loss for words here, Kurt."
"Thanks for coming up. Neither one of you had too; I don't want any pity from anyone. I didn't do anything for attention."
"Kurt, may I ask why you did it then?" Dwayne asked.
Kurt looked towards the window and looked back down at his wrists.
"All I know is I drank about 14 Miller Lights. Now I'm not saying I didn't know what I was doing but the drunker I got the more depressed I got. I started thinking about the baby and how I ruined Karen's life and…" Kurt started crying.
Stephanie ran over and put her arm around him.
"Kurt, its ok, we don't have to talk about this now. Just try to get some rest and relax." She said to him.
"I am surprised you drank a beer! Austin would be proud." Dwayne said.
Dwayne knew how much Kurt hated Austin so he figured he would get him going.
"First off all I drank more than a beer and second of all fuck that bald headed redneck. He's probably at home right with Coach shoving microphones up cow's asses."
Dwayne died laughing. He remembered the promo that he had done with coach making him admit he shoved microphones up cow's asses.
"I can't believe you remember that promo, Kurt. I did that like last year."
Kurt laughed too. "I do and I bet there are. Oh its true, it's damn true!"
"Steph, can we talk about this now? I need to get a few things off my chest." Kurt said.
Dwayne and Stephanie both turned their attention to Kurt.
"I remember the last thing I thought about Steph was you. I remembered seeing you sitting on my back porch laughing at one of my stupid ass jokes. I started feeling ashamed of what I had just done and wanted it to be over. I really didn't want to wake up, I really didn't."
Steph smiled slightly. "Kurt, why? You have so much going for you right now. You have so many people that care about you."
"Yeah sure I do. What about my wife and my child I was supposed to have? I am supposed to be a father right now."
"Everything happens for a reason rather you want to admit that or not. You are here with us now for a reason." Dwayne said.
"You have to let go, Kurt. You have to learn to move on and start over." Stephanie added.
They could both tell by the look on his face that is not what he wanted to hear.
"I am tired guys. I want to get some rest. Thanks for coming up."
Step hugged Kurt and Dwayne sat down in the chair next to his bed.
"D, do you mind?"
"No, actually I don't and that is why I am sitting."
Stephanie ran over and plopped down in Dwayne's lap.
"I don't mind either." Stephanie laughed.
"You two have to be the most relentless friends someone could have."
