True to his word Blaine stayed until they kicked him out. Kurt woke up for a brief period of time before he had to leave thankfully. He was starting to feel somewhat less guilty for the whole thing, but he didn't help himself by not telling Kurt that he and Jeremiah weren't together anymore. Were they even together in the first place? He was honestly so confused by everything he tried not to think about how embarrassingly head over heels he was for Jeremiah. He was stupid and he should have just listened to Kurt rather than fighting with him. That's what he should say. It's what he needed to say, but when Kurt talked about being a more supportive friend the words had froze in his throat. Kurt was the good friend, he is the best they come if you ask Blaine, and he let him believe otherwise.

"Blaine are you even listening to me?" Wes snapped annoyed. No, Blaine wasn't listening; he was too busy sorting out his feelings for Kurt.

"Wes of course not, I have stolen almost half his food and he hasn't noticed." David chimed.

"Are you still upset over this Kurt thing? I thought you two moved forward?" Wes asked getting the warblers attention on the subject now. Had everyone known about Kurt's crush on Blaine?

"Yeah well I didn't exactly tell him everything." Blaine mumbled, still upset with himself.

"You didn't tell him you love him?" David asked poking him in the arm.

"I don't love him … well maybe. I don't know. It's weird he's my best friend."

"You can love your best friend Blaine." Jeff clarified sliding over to join the conversation.

"Okay, but how do you know when you love them as more than a friend?" Blaine asked. It was all very complicated.

"Why don't you ask Kurt what it feels like?" David joked, earning a glare from Blaine and elbow from Wes. "Just saying, he knows what it feels like. He would be able to explain it best. Maybe it will lead to something."

"You're not being helpful."

"No, I think David might be right. You need to just start talking and see where it goes. Tell him about what happened with Jeremiah and why you thought you were in love with him." Jeff added starting a debate among the table if Blaine should tell Kurt or not.

"He doesn't like when I talk about Jeremiah, plus I still haven't told him we were never anything in the first place and that I put him through all that torture for no reason." Blaine whined putting his head in his hands as he let out a distraught sigh. "I've gotta go. I'm visiting Kurt in the hospital again. I promised to help him with his hair and skin today." Blaine sighed as he stood up leaving his mostly uneaten tray of food for who ever wanted to pick at it. He heard a couple of them shout good luck after him, and to tell Kurt they miss him.

When Blaine arrived to the hospital he greeted the woman at the counter with a smile.

"Hello again Blaine. Here to see Kurt?"

"Who else," he joked placing the visitor's sticker on the right side his blazer and heading to the elevator. He knew the way to room as much as he knew he way around Dalton by now. Some nurses would recognize him and instantly greet him with a smile, others would just continue with there work as if he wasn't there.

When he arrived at the room he Kurt's dad in his usual spot next to Kurt, who was on his phone. Blaine was a little worried about the expression on Mr. Hummel's face. Keeping his manners he knocked light on the door before entering, even though he has been told to just come in the last time he was there.

"Hi Blaine!" Kurt greeted smiling brightly as he put down his phone.

"Thank goodness you're here. Kurt is driving me insane." Mr. Hummel joked.

"Well I wouldn't be if I was allowed to get up and walk around more. You don't even let me hold my own water cup." Kurt defended. "Anyway, I'm so glad you're here my dad and I are sort of in a stand off. Will you please explain to my dad that the warblers are harmless and will be on their best behavior?"

"Best behavior for what?" Blaine asked hesitantly, worried about what they have been telling Kurt.

"Wes texted me. Apparently they wanted to visit me as soon as I am out of the hospital. I'm surprised you didn't know." Kurt explained.

"I thought that was a surprise. They talked about it … well debated it." He said thinking back to the meeting. "I guess Wes over ruled the vote on the surprise. He thought that you should never show up unannounced at someone's house, even if it is under good intentions."

"See dad! Gentlemen. Nothing like the sleepovers Finn hosts where they destroy the house." Kurt exclaimed obviously getting bored with being stuck in a hospital with just his dad.

"Mr. Hummel," Blaine cut in still seeing the nervousness on Burt's face, "The warblers are extremely respectful to each other's houses. Most of our mothers would have our heads mounted on Dalton's walls as an example to all the other boys what would happen if we acted disrespectful at someone's house. They also understand that Kurt is still recovering so they will probably just bring a bunch of movies and ask to see his stitches and scar."

"They already asked for a picture." Kurt clarified.

"I told them not to" Blaine responded annoyed they ignored his wishes to leave Kurt alone.

"It's fine Blaine," Kurt said reaching to hold his hand, giving it a quick squeeze before turning back to his dad. "Can I tell them that I will let them know when I'm up for it?"

"Alright, but maybe not a sleepover. The doctor said you will still need your rest."

"Thank you" Kurt almost squealed with excitement, instantly grabbing his phone to text them back. Blaine was excited for him, based on what Kurt has told him about his other friends they weren't really the greatest friends to have. He said he felt like the only reason he was invited places out of pity since he was there when they made plans. Plus they haven't visited or even really contacted Kurt about being in the hospital, which even though Kurt tried to act uncaring, but Blaine could see that Kurt was hurt that they haven't at least texted to ask if he was okay.

"And Blaine," Mr. Hummel addressed with a serious expression, waking Blaine from his thoughts, " I think you have hung around enough to call me Burt by now. I appreciate you being respectful or whatever, but let's drop the formalities."

"Okay, Mr. Hummel –I mean Burt- Mr. Burt!" Blaine rushed out oddly nervous blushing at his mess up. Both Kurt and Burt chuckled.

"We'll work on it," Burt settled with a grin before excusing himself to give them some time to hang out, promising to be back.

"So it looks like you have a lot of work for me," Blaine said eyeing the numerous products Kurt had set out on his bed tray.

"You should feel lucky I even let you see me with my hair and skin in this condition."

"Your hair and skin are fine, I mean your hair looks a lot different when it isn't styled but there isn't anything wrong with it. I think you look adorable." Did Blaine just call Kurt adorable? Has he called Kurt adorable before?

"Adorable makes me sound like I'm five or six" Kurt joked, laughing nervously and blushing slightly. "Anyway so since I am unable to rinse we have a very limited amount to work with. I have some dry shampoo for my hair. My skin is just some wipes, toners, and moisturizers."

"It feels like a high honor to be trusted with your hair and skin" Blaine joked reaching for the dry shampoo.

"I was desperate," Kurt joked back, moaning as Blaine massaged his scalp. Now, it was Blaine's turn to blush for reasons he is not entirely sure of.

"Blaine, you still haven't caught me up with Jeremiah. I do promise to be supportive. I just need you give me a chance to try." Kurt explained keeping his eyes closed as Blaine rubbed his scalp.

Blaine's hands slowed and stopped as Blaine sat there feeling guilty for letting Kurt suffer from believing he was not a support friend even more.

"Blaine? You stopped" Kurt observed aloud opening his eyes, "The bottle says to massage until-"

"Jeremiah and I aren't a thing anymore." Blaine said slowly, cutting Kurt off.

"I'm so sorry." Kurt apologized showing genuine sympathy.

"I'm not sure if we were ever actually a thing," Blaine continued, he wasn't heart broken but it did hurt that he was used the way he was.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asked confused and interested.

"You were right," Blaine said feeling stupid for many reasons. "We were never in a relationship. He isn't out like we are. He just wanted to have some fun and feel good."

"Blaine I" Kurt stuttered unsure. "I didn't want to be right, I never wanted you to get hurt," he further explained.

"I know," Blaine reassured. "Thank you for looking out for me, especially when I'm too blind to see the obvious."

It was awkwardly quiet. Blaine wasn't sure what else to say so he chose to wait out the silence, hoping Kurt would pick the conversation back up. He finally dared to look at Kurt, who was now refusing to look his way. Blaine couldn't exactly read his expression, but there was a light blush on his cheeks. Blaine purposely chose to assume it was from his pain medication or something similar.

"Are you okay? You must be so heartbroken." Kurt asked now worried facing Blaine aging, his eyes scanning Blaine's.

Blaine opened and closed his mouth a few times trying to find the words to explain how he felt. "I'm surprisingly not," he started, "I mean, yeah it hurts and I'm embarrassed and maybe a little disappointed, but I wouldn't say heart broken. I guess I never really loved him, but maybe loved the idea of just being in love."

After a second or two Kurt silently and hesitantly reached his hand over grabbing Blaine's and giving a very light squeeze. Blaine wasn't sure if Kurt was just being hesitant about holding Blaine's hand, which he should never be because Blaine loves how it feels when Kurt holds his hand, or if Kurt's strength just wasn't in it. Either way Blaine gave a reassuring smile and gave Kurt's a firm, but gentle squeeze back hoping it expressed that everything was okay.

"You know what would make you feel a thousand times better?" Kurt finally asked after he awkwardly took his hand away laying it back over his stomach, absent-mindedly picking at the blanket.

"What?" Blaine asked indulging Kurt.

"Finishing your promise of helping my skin and hair" Kurt declared shutting his eyes waiting for Blaine to begin again.

Blaine let out a chuckle shaking his head. He wasn't sure how Kurt always knew what to say to make him feel better or even make him laugh, but he is extremely glad they are back to laughing again.

"As long as you promise you're not too tired or in pain," Blaine negotiated.

"I promise to make you stop if I need more medicine or if I need to take a nap." Kurt answered reaching to cross his heart but stopping when he felt the wire.

Blaine tried to not notice the IV's and heart monitors, but sometimes it was unavoidable. It still hurt to see Kurt like this and to know that Kurt was scared before the surgery and might still be scared, considering he still has a long recovery ahead of him.

Blaine started on Kurt's face, gently rubbing in the moisturizer after cleansing it with witch hazel. This time Kurt just hummed contently, his face muscles completely relaxing under Blaine's touch. It was an extremely intimate moment for them, but it was easy for Blaine to relax like this with Kurt. Blaine had almost again slowed to a stop as he began to realize that maybe he has always been in love, but it wasn't with Jeremiah, it was with Kurt.

Blaine awkwardly cleared his throat and began to awkwardly make small talk to distract his mind from wandering in that territory at this moment, "So you um … excited to go home tomorrow?"

"Well I only go home if my chart looks good, but I cannot wait to escape this place. You have saved my sanity by visiting me all the time, but hospitals still freak me out, especially at night when it's silent except for the beeping" Kurt chattered continuously, explaining everything he hated about hospital.

And oh yeah Blaine was definitely in love with Kurt.
