Blaine hadn't heard as much from Kurt since he has been home. Blaine is excited that Kurt is finally home again, but he misses texting and talking to Kurt all day. He still visits Kurt daily; they usually go for a light walk around the block so Kurt can excursive and then watch project runway or real housewives to force Kurt to rest. There is still a lot Kurt is not allowed to do, but at least now he is out of the hospital. Kurt has been approved for extremely light chores or activities like folding laundry, but he is still restricted from lifting and raising his arms above his head. His moods are all over the place, the last time Blaine was over Kurt picked a fight because Blaine offered to get him something to drink when he was thirsty. Blaine did his best to calmly explain he was offering to be polite not because he thought Kurt was incapable of getting his own glass of water. Kurt still told him to leave. Two hours later Kurt called him extremely upset that he had treated Blaine that way and hesitantly explained that he hasn't felt the same since the surgery. After some further research on his own part Blaine found that it was normal for recovery patients to feel depressed and have mood swings.

During all this time Blaine has done everything he can to not dwell on his new feelings toward Kurt but he wouldn't be able to keep it quiet much longer. So he set up a plan. The warblers were finally getting to see their friend for an afternoon filled with movies. Blaine, with the permission and approval from both Burt and Kurt would be the only one staying the night. Then the next day Blaine would take Kurt out on an official date. He was forced to get a little creative because Kurt was on a strict diet and couldn't stay out late, though Kurt would never admit it, he struggled to stay awake past nine or nine-thirty on most nights. By creative Blaine really means taking Kurt to their coffee shop and paying for a caffeine-free and diet friendly drink as he confesses his feelings for Kurt. Gosh he was terrible at this maybe he should get some input from the warblers? "No you need to do this on your own" Blaine scolded himself out loud before zipping his overnight bag shut.

He desperately wanted to be the first one to arrive to Kurt's house, but between changing his clothes three times and giving himself two pep talks he lost track of time. By the time he arrived the rest of the guys were already munching on some snacks and deciding what movies to watch. "I hope you guys didn't have Kurt serve you." Blaine joked grabbing a pretzel from the bowl on the coffee table and taking a seat next to Kurt.

"Blaine, you know I'm allowed to do light activities," Kurt warned rolling his eyes but cuddling into Blaine.

He purposely ignored the knowing look David was giving him and instead put his concentration at not sighing of relief from how right it felt to be this close to Kurt.

"Besides he had everything set out for us before we even arrived," Wes clarified not hiding how impressed he was at Kurt's hosting abilities.

"I'm not surprised, I have heard stories from Mercedes about how Kurt hosts the best slumber parties." Blaine attempted to subtly compliment giving Kurt a gentle nudge.

"Did I miss the debate for which movie to watch?" He asked hoping he wasn't blushing too much from his physical contact with Kurt.

"There's no debate, we're watching The Birds" Thad said trying to hide a small chuckle for some reason.

"No we aren't," Nick huffed giving a glare Kurt must have been proud of, "everyone here knows how much I hate birds, we are not watching that." Nick clarified crossing his arms before daringly declaring "I will leave if you play that movie, and Kurt doesn't want me to leave and since it's his house and he says we aren't allowed to play that movie if I don't want to watch it-"

"Nick calm down," David finally cut in "none of us even have that movie. They're purposely tying to get your riled up. Besides we should watch Batman."

"We always watch Batman, let's watch something different for once." Blaine complained.

"If I had known you guys would take this long to decide what movie to watch I would have started one before you got here so you didn't get a choice." Kurt sighed tired of their debate.

"You know we are just going to end up watching what you want to anyway so just start the movie, Kurt" Wes answered grabbing some of Kurt's carrot sticks rather than pretzels. Blaine assumed it was out of courtesy; Wes was always polite like that. Kurt smiled and turned the television on relieving the DVD menu to 'Moulin Rouge', something Blaine couldn't help but find absolutely adorable.

Everything was going great, they laughed and sang to most of the songs, some of the guys even got up and did a dance number. Blaine could tell Kurt wanted to dance, but he did well hiding it. Blaine could also hear Kurt's struggle to hold some notes without getting winded, but he was probably the only one close enough to hear Kurt's shaky breathing after singing.

It was almost towards the end of the movie, closer to the part where Blaine would need to go find a box of tissues for his tears, when Finn came home with a couple of the other guys from the New Directions, stopping short when he saw all the warblers gathered around Kurt in the living room. "Oh hey. I uh didn't realize you were going to have people here. I thought you were supposed to be taking it easy."

"I'm sitting on the sofa watching a movie, and I have Blaine to hand me things. How much easier can it get?" Kurt responded annoyed and pausing the movie, giving everyone no chance to ignore what was happening.

"Right. How long are they going to be here?" Finn asked awkwardly after one the other guys, Blaine couldn't remember his name, pushed him to ask.

"I dunno, Dad mentioned them staying for dinner but not long after."

Blaine could feel the annoyance radiating off of Kurt. He wanted nothing more than to try to comfort him, but that would be pushing things too far.

"They can't leave earlier?" Finn asked also starting to get annoyed. It was like he was trying to send Kurt a secret message.

"Kurt we can-" David started softly and gently

"No!" Kurt fumed, "you're my guests and you can stay as long as you like."

"Kurt you don't-" Finn started

"Go rehearse at Rachel's house if that's what this is about." Kurt finished like he was trying to dismiss Finn.

Blaine was beginning to get worried. He wasn't sure if it was okay for Kurt to get worked up like this, if his heart could handle all the stress put on it. Maybe Blaine should say something. Finn is still standing there with his gang, and now he was looking angry rather than timid. Some of the guys with him looked kind of angry too, though two of them looked more hurt than angry.

"I finally convinced Rachel you weren't a traitor to our team and that they can finally come sing to you, but maybe I was wrong." Finn spat.

The room froze right there, no one moved or said anything. Blaine could feel the hurt radiate off of Kurt. That was the question that had hung in the air ever since he was in the hospital. Why he hadn't heard from the New Directions? He never said anything or even asked out loud but whenever Blaine kind of brought them up he would change the subject.

Kurt must not have been doing well at hiding the hurt on his face because one of the guys with Finn, he had very badly dyed blonde hair, Blaine really feels awful for not remembering his name, finally speaks up.

"Kurt, we don't think-" he tried to

"Please excuse me-" Kurt interrupted, "I –I … I just need to be alone right now" he finally stuttered before rushing up the stairs, leaving everyone one else awkwardly hanging around in the family room.

It's still silent for a moment. Blaine desperately wants to start a fight, because how dare someone make Kurt this upset. Then he regrets thinking that because he probably made Kurt this upset before. He also really wants to run after Kurt but he knows going up this soon will only cause him to be shut out, so he has no choice but to wait.

"Blaine should you go after him or something?" Nick finally asks, which isn't a surprise, when someone is upset Nick wants to help no matter what.

"He's too upset right now, it will only makes things worse." Blaine explains ashamed that he can't go fix this.

"Don't act like you know him," one of the other guys snaps at him.

"Excuse me?" Blaine asked offended and fuming.

"Finn told me all about how much you continually hurt him, so don't act like you know him. You know nothing. "

It takes all of Blaine's energy not to punch the guy. He opens his mouth to argue back but David's voice fills the room instead.

"How dare Blaine? You're joking."

Blaine knows David is only beginning, because like Blaine, David has known Kurt from day one when he first showed up as a spy. David was the one to point out how much Blaine flirted with him, which has nothing to do with this. However, he also knows more of why Kurt transferred, not as much as Blaine does, but more than some of the other warblers.

One of the other guys opens their mouth to speak, but David does not give him any sort chance.

"Kurt came to us, because you sent him away from a group project. He was ignored and invincible, but Blaine noticed him from the beginning. Ever since then Blaine hasn't left his side. He was there for Kurt to have a shoulder to cry on without making it about his troubles. He was at the hospital everyday, and when he wasn't there he texted Kurt non-stop. It was endearing, but annoying after the first class. Blaine has been there through all of Kurt's recovery and you want to accuse him for not knowing Kurt well enough to know when Kurt needs comfort and when he wants to be left alone, even when Kurt says he wants to be left alone?"

"Kurt's like a girl, he doesn't really mean he wants to actually be left alone, he just likes a scene" he dismisses obviously bored of the argument.

"Puck" Finn hisses a warning, and Blaine wants to role his eye because Finn has also called Kurt a girl on multiple occasions. It's quiet for a moment and then utter chaos of several arguments erupt at once.

Just as Blaine escapes to Kurt's room he hears Burt shouting, demanding to know what was happening.

Blaine heart deflates when he see's Kurt curled up on his bed, pulling at his sleeves trying to hug himself. He is facing the opposite wall so Blaine can't see his face.

"Kurt-" he breathes because he doesn't know what else to say. He knows better than to ask if he's okay.

Kurt turns slowly, not uncurling himself, and locks his wet eyes with Blaine. They are having a silent conversation, Kurt unable to verbally speak and Blaine not knowing what to say. Kurt's eyes tell him how much pain he is in and Blaine hopes his are expressing that he's here for him, for everything he needs.

Blaine awkwardly clears his throat before finally saying, "I'm so sorry."

It's honestly all he can say.

Kurt nods, his eyes welling up as he sniffles. There is a soft knock on the door and Burt enters, and Blaine can see the similarities of Kurt and his father. They way they both try to push down their anger for someone else's benefit. It was the same look Kurt had when Blaine would talk about Jeremiah, the anger before the hurt.
"I sent them all home"

It was quiet and defeated, something strange to Blaine's ear coming from Burt.

"Can Blaine still stay?" Kurt asked hopefully, yet with a wet scratchy voice.

Blaine wanted to kiss Kurt right there. It said it all. That Kurt really has forgiven him and that he still wants Blaine around. Blaine honestly feels so privileged to see Kurt like this.

Burt looks Blaine up and down before nodding and leaving the room.

"You want to talk about it?" Blaine hesitantly asked after Kurt uncurled himself to wipe the drying tears off his face.

"Not really," Kurt answers, the hurt still in his voice. He let out a frustrated huff before continuing, changing his mind.

"It was hurtful when I didn't hear from anyone before the surgery, but I was too nervous about it to really dwell on it all. But after, I … it's silly, but I really thought they would come and surprise me with a song," he took shaky breath before continuing, the tears welling in his eyes again, "To find out the only reason no one even contacted me because they considered me a traitor. And they know why I left, they- they-" he cut off shaking his head unable to further explain

Blaine without even thinking strode to Kurt's bed pulling him into a hug. After Kurt began to settle down after several moments, Blaine finally spoke again.

"You missed David almost turn Incredible Hulk on Finn and his friends."

Kurt let out a wet chuckle; pulling back from the hug Blaine had him in. Blaine smiled reassuringly, pausing before instinctively reaching out to swipe away a free tear rolling down Kurt's cheek. For a second it was as if everything was frozen, Blaine considered kissing Kurt right there. It seemed like a good moment maybe he should go for it.

"Blaine?" Kurt asked quietly, whispering for some reason. Blaine snapped out of his trance, looking back up at Kurt's eyes, not even knowing when he started to stare at Kurt's lips.

"Yeah?" He whispered back, hoping he didn't sound as nervous as he was.

"My chest is starting to hurt a little," he again whispered, letting out a tight breath.

"I'll go run and get your medicine from your dad?" Blaine asked, but not waiting for Kurt to nod in response.

So not the appropriate time to think about kissing Kurt, maybe they weren't having a moment. Was this how Kurt felt when Blaine was overly touchy-feely to him? He isn't positive how he even keeps screwing up like this. He just hopes that tomorrow will go well and then he could finally stop over thinking and analyzing situations … well situations over if Kurt still likes him enough to be his boyfriend.
