The next morning Blaine enters Kurts room tired but happy.
"How are we feeling today?" Kurt asks with a laugh and Blaine giggles "Shouldn't it be me who asks you that question?". "We can both answer it" Kurt proposes and Blaine nods.
"Okay so how are you?" Blaine asks and Kurt pouts "Hey! I asked first". Both laugh but Blaine answers "I'm good. Tired but good because my best friend came to visit and stays for a bit. And you?". "Tired as always but okay" Kurt answers and sits up with Blaines help after he put down the breakfast tray.
"Tired because it's about 8 in the morning or because you and the night nurse still didn't gte along?" Blaine asks and Kurt answers "Both I'd say".
"Okay so my solution is that I'll be there for you. You said that you hoped that after a nightmare of yours she helps you calm down again but instead she just gives you a pill that does that job for her right?" Blaine asks and Kurt nods.
So Blaine continues "I can try to calm you. I'll give you my phone number and when you have a nightmare you can call me and we talk on the phone until you feel better. If you still want a sleeping pill then you can still call the nurse".
"You'd do that?" Kurt asks happily. No more night nurse but instead someone he could actually talk to. "If not I wouldn't have offered that" Blaine says, returning Kurts smile.
After breakfast the two start with the training again, focussing on back and arms, impatiently waiting for lunch because that's the time they decided it's best to finally sit down and get to know each other better.
"I get myself some lunch and coffee from the cafeteria and then we'll eat together and talk" Blaine says and Kurt nods, watching him leave. After the training both are really hungry now and can't wait to finally learn more about each other.
"Okay to be honest I'm a bit ahead of you because on my first day I talked to your dad about you so it doesn't feel like I'm taking care of a stranger or something" Blaine admits, scratching the back of his head.
"That's very thoughtful" Kurt says and laughs "Well you have to tell me somethign about you then". "Okay uhm…" Blaine says, thinking about what he could tell baout himself.
"My name is Blaine Devon Anderson. I'm 23 and even tho I became a nurse now I'm still very interested in music and stuff like I was in high school. As you know I was a part of the Warblers and that's also where I got to know my best friend" he tells.
That's all you can tell me?" Kurt pouts "My dad could've told you god knows what about me". "He told me nothing emarrasing if you think that. He told me something about your high school life and so but why don't you just tell me what you want to know?" Blaine proposes.
"Okay. Did my dad told you something family related about me?" Kurt asks and Blaine nods "He told me about your mom and then about Carol and Finn". "Okay then tell me about your family. Siblings, parents, anything" Kurt says "Oh and about your high school life since my dad told you about that too".
Blaine nods and tells "Dalton has a no bullying policy so I'd say my high school time was better than yours because of the bullying. Your father told me". Kurt takes a deep breath but remains silent so Blaine could continue "As for my parents. Since middle school it's just me and my mom because my dad and us separated".
"May I ask why?" Kurt asks hesistantly but he doesn't need to worry because Blaine nods "I'm an open book. I don't have a problem with talking about it. It hurts sometimes but I did nothing wrong so it's okay to tell people".
He takes a deep breakth and tells "I came out to my parents one year before high school and my father couldn't accept the fact fact that I'm gay. He told me it's a phase and I said it's not. Then he told me if it's not a phase and I'm not turning straight again then I, and I quote 'had a father for the longest time of my life'.
My mother and I packed our stuff and then left. I don't have any contact to him sine then but at least my mom always supported me with everything. She still does, although she doesn't live in Lima anymore".
"So you're alone in Lima?" Kurt asjs and Blaine nods "If my best friend doesn't come for a visit yes. He stayed in Westerville. But I don't mind. I'm okay with how my life turned out to be".
"Blaine I'm so sorry. Getting bullied at school like me is one thing but not getting accepted by a parent must be really hard" Kurt says and takes Blaines hand in his as good as possible, which wasn't bad conciddering the short amount of time that he trains.
With a sad smile Blaine lightly squeezes Kurts hand "It's okay. Like I said, sometimes it still hurts but it's okay and I learned to live with that. I'm glad that my mom supported me still". Then he clears his throat "But enough about me".
"Your father told be about your family, a bit about hish school and that you study at NYADA which is really impressive by the way" the continues and makes Kurt chuckle.
"I don't have much more to say then. I think he told you pretty much everything" Kurt says and this time Blaine chuckles "Well if you can think of something more then just tell me". "Will do" Kurt answers and both start laughing.
When both boys calm down again the laughing that filled the room turns into comfortable silence. That's until Kurt breaks it "Blaine?". "Yes Kurt?" the nurse answers and Kurt asks "When you loved to perform so much, why did you decided to become a nurse?".
"That's a good question. I wanted to go to New York too. NYADA was my big dream. And my best friend, Sebastian wanted to come with me, study at NYU.
But then he got into a car crash in the beginning of our senior year and he was in a wheelchair for about hald a year and since he and I shared a room at Dalton and because he was my best friend I helped him with a lot of stuff that he could do by himself before.
Then I realized that I love taking care of people and that there are people who need someone who takes care of them and helps them" Blaine explains "I still love to perform and music is still a big part of my life but I decided to just make it a hobby of mine and I'm happy with the way I chosed".
"How is Sebastian now?" Kurt asks, truly interested so Blaine tells "He's good. He still has some plates and screws in his leg, at the right knee, which is why his leg is slightly restrained, But he's here at the moment because soon they get out which means a surgury for him".
"But after that he'll be fine?" Kurt asks and Blaine nods "Most likely but he's still nervous". "I'd be too" Kurt answers and says "If you want to be there for him that day be sure that I won't tell anyone if we shorten the training that day".
"You'd do that?" the older man asks with shining eyes. He wanted to ask exactly that soon but Kurt offered it from himself. Kurt nods smiling "That's what friends are for right?". "Thank you Kurt. Really" Blaine thanks him, squeezing his hand again.
Not knowing whatelse to talk about the duo decides to get back to training, listening to music and talking about everything and nothing.
"Good night Kurt" Blaine says when he comes back to Kurts room after changing. "Good night Blaine" the other boy answers. "And remember. You have my number now. Don't hesistate to call me if something's up" the nurse says before leaving.
When Blaine comes home he's glad that Sebastian already cooked something for dinner. Having someone at home who works from home has something good. Even tho Sebastian isn't the best in cooking it should be enough.
"So I have an appointment in the hospital" Sebastian breaks the silence while eating. "When?" Blaine asks and his best friend answers "In a week at 10 am". "Okay. I have to be at work before you're coming but when you're there I'll be there for you" Blaine says.
"And what about Kurt?" Sebastian asks but Blaine shakes his head "I talked to him and he said it's okay and he won't tell anyone so I can still have my break". "Okay. Because I'm nervous as hell" the other boy says with a nervous laugh. "We get this together like before. And as soon as Hunter is back from his trip he'll be there for you too" Blaine answers.
In the middle of the night Blaine wakes up from his buzzing phone. Without looking he picks up "Hello?". "Blaine?" he hears Kurts equally tired voice. "Hey Kurt" Blaine responds, sitting up in his bed "Are you okay?". "More or less" Kurt answers "I had a nightmare".
"And you wanna talk about it before calling the night nurse" Blaine says. Kurt shakes his head but then realizes that Blaine can't see that so he says "I don't really remember what it's about so that wouldn't work. Can we just talk? That could help".
"If it helps sure. What do you wanna talk about?" Blaine asks and Kurt answers "I don't know. Anything. How was your evening?". "Quiet. Sebastian cooked something, we ate, talked and watched Mamma Mia. Don't tell him that I told you that he likes those movies" Blaine answers laughing.
Kurt laughs "Mamma Mia? I love that movie. They both give me comfort". "Yeah? Maybe we can watch it togehter sometime" Blaine proposes. "I'd like that" Kurt almost whispers. "I'd like that too" Blaine answers just as quiet as Kurt.
For a moment there's silence before Blaine asks "Kurt?". "Hm?" the other boy mumbles silently and Blaine says "Just checking if you're still awake". "Hm" Kurt mumbles again and Blaine giggles "More or less I guess": "Hm" Kurt makes again.
Blaine giggles again and thinks about what he can do now to help. Not knowing what else to do he starts humming the melody of twinkle twinkle little star.
When Blaine is through twice with the refrain, since it's the only part he knows, the other boy is completely silent. "Kurt?" Blaine asjs under his breath but the boy doesn't answer so Blaine says "Good night Kurt. Sleep tight". Then he hangs up and falls asleep himself again.
