This chapter sort of indirectly deals with Finns death, so if you're not up for that then don't read. I understand.

Blaine knew it was bad. He just never expected it to be that bad. When he got the call in the middle of the night, he honestly thought it was a prank, or possibly even a wrong number.

If only it could have been just a stupid prank call.

Once he hung up, Blaine walked around his dark house in shock, getting dressed as quietly as possible and grabbing his car keys from the entryway. He didn't want to go. If he showed up, that would make it all too real.

But Blaine needed to be there for Kurt. So he went. Kurt hated hospitals. He needed Blaine. And Blaine wasn't about to leave him hanging.

The emergency room lights were bright, and they hurt Blaine's eyes. He walked through the mostly-empty waiting room and signed in at the front desk.

"Uh, Kurt Hummel," Blaine told the receptionist. "And… Finn Hudson."

"Oh." Her expression softened, and she looked at him sympathetically. Blaine just looked down at the floor.

She gestured to the adjacent hallway, and Blaine hurried on back. Surprisingly, he was able to hear Kurt and find him relatively quickly. He was in hysterics, sitting up on one of the beds in the trauma center, crying to a nurse. She was trying to comfort him, but Kurt was inconsolable.

Blaine didn't blame him.

He walked up to them, and Kurt sniffled and looked up. His eyes were red and puffy, and his stitches spread across the left side of his forehead and temple. Blaine wrapped his arms around him and held him close, until Kurt yelped a little.

"He broke a few ribs," the nurse explained. "They'll be sore for a week or so."

Blaine loosed his grip on his fiancé and kissed the top of his head.

"I'm so sorry, honey," he whispered to him. Blaine wanted to cry, too. Finn had coached their glee club for the majority of the school year. He was going to be Kurt's best man at their wedding.

But Blaine made himself not cry in front of Kurt. He knew that would just make him more and more upset, and Kurt didn't need that.

"It's m-my fault," Kurt choked out. "I-I distracted h-him."

"Shhh," Blaine said. He pulled away from Kurt so that he could look him in the eyes. "None of it is your fault. It wasn't his fault, either. Don't blame yourself, Kurt."

Kurt just leaned into Blaine, his whole body shaking. Blaine rubbed his back and tried to come up with something to say to comfort him.

But sometimes, the most appropriate thing to say was nothing.

Author's Notes:

Last night's episode gave me a bunch of Finn feels, so I came up with this. I can't imagine how my poor boys would react to that kind of news. It's my head canon that he died in a car crash (since I never really explained why they were in the hospital). And Kurt's mother also died in a wreck, but this time was different because Kurt was in the car with him. Ugh I can't imagine how painful that would be. But anyways, there you go.
