Part 2: Sleep Filled Days
When Blaine's alarm sounded at 7:30am that morning, he woke up with a groan. He was so tired from yesterday's emotional fit, but he got up regardless and quickly dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, a hoodie, and sneakers. He wasn't in the mood to look his best today, he just wished he could sleep the day away.
After he grabbed a breakfast bar, his pea coat, and his book bag, he was out the door and into his car. As soon as he walked outside, he felt the cool air against his skin that made him believe he was waking up more. He pulled his sunglasses on; it was too bright for his exhausted being. Blaine, unfortunately had to drive today, it was his turn to take them to school, so Blaine had to pick up Kurt, so they could get coffee at The Lima Bean before school. He needed that so badly.
He drove fine for the first five minutes, until his eyes could barely stay open. He turned the air on full blast, even though it was winter, it was just an aid to help him stay awake.
He stopped in front of Kurt's house and honked in a continuous burst for five seconds. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes. Before he knew it, Kurt was in his car, and he opened his eyes and blinked tiredly at him with a small grin, just happy to see him.
"Hey, you okay?" Kurt asked curiously, looking at his boyfriend, analyzing his pale and tired features.
"Yeah," Blaine said sitting up and leaning in to kiss Kurt slowly, "Bad night, no sleep," he muttered into Kurt's lips.
"I missed you," Blaine whispered as they pulled away from the kiss, but Blaine wouldn't pull away all the way, he leaned his forehead against Kurt's just breathing him in. A few seconds later, he just wrapped his arms around Kurt, falling into him, resting his head against his shoulder, burying his face in Kurt's neck.
Kurt rubbed his back in slow circular motions, "Babe, you want me to drive today? You're exhausted."
"Yeah, I guess," Blaine said, but stayed in Kurt's arms, "I wished you were with me last night, we had the biggest fight," Blaine whispered against Kurt's neck, breathing into his ear, trying to feel safe once again in the younger boy's arms.
"You shoulda called me, I woulda come got you," Kurt pulled him closer for a second before pulling away, and lightly slapping Blaine's thigh before exiting the car and heading to his own.
Blaine followed, taking his keys out of the ignition, grabbing his book bag out the backseat with a small smile on his face, "I can't wait to nap in your car," he said locking the car with his remote and climbed into the front seat of Kurt's Navigator, settling into the passenger seat.
"Mm, it's cold in here," was all Blaine said before closing his eyes and snuggling closer into his jacket as Kurt started driving. Blaine slowly fell asleep to the motion of the car.
When it was time to get coffee, Kurt left his sleeping boyfriend in the car and got Blaine's medium drip and his grande nonfat mocha coffee and just placed it in his car cup holder between both of them, not wanting to disturb Blaine until he really had to.
He drove to school and once he arrived and parked, he sat in his car, watching Blaine sleeping. He was paler than usual, which reminded him of Blaine when they first met, how sad he looked, even when he should be calmly sleeping and content.
Kurt gently brushed away a stray curl from Blaine's forehead as Blaine leaned over, resting his head on Kurt's shoulder, mumbling softly in his sleep before moving his head to Kurt's lap.
Kurt had to quickly moved Blaine's coffee to the cup holder in the backseat before Blaine had the chance to accidently knock it over with his sleeping body. Kurt just let him sleep there. He gently stroked Blaine's hair as Blaine nuzzled his face into his jean cover legs.
"Mm, Kurt," Blaine mumbled softly, his hands caressing Kurt's thigh chastely as if wanting to just snuggle closer to him.
"Shh, sleep, we have ten more minutes before we gotta go inside," Kurt said softly as he too leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes, listening to Blaine's soft breathing and the low sounds of the radio. He took one more sip of his coffee before placing it in the backseat cup holders next to Blaine's. Before he knew it, they were both asleep in his running car.
The next thing Blaine knew, he was waking up with back pains from laying across Kurt's lap for so long. He gently brushed Kurt's hand off the side of his face and sat up and saw the time.
"SHIT, Kurt! It's 10! Wake up, we're so late," Blaine yelled out shaking Kurt awake, who blinked a few times.
"Huh?" Kurt said looking dopily at his boyfriend and just smiled at him, "You are so cute," and then noticed his worried features.
"We're practically two hours late, we slept this whole time, shit, I'm never late, my parents are gonna hear of this and get mad," Blaine breathed in and out, trying not to hyperventilate.
"Calm down, Blaine," Kurt said, brushing his hand along Blaine's back, "Just breathe, baby, shh," he cooed lightly and reached into Blaine's pants pocket for Blaine's pill bottle, where Kurt knew it normally was. Blaine, meanwhile, had no idea what Kurt was doing, Blaine looked at Kurt then at the school building. His legs were shaking anxiously as he fingered his book bag with one hand and the door handle with the other.
"Come, come Kurt," Blaine said quickly looking at Kurt worriedly, his hand still on those two items. Blaine noticed Kurt's hand coming towards him, he felt Kurt gently push one of his pills into his mouth.
"Everything will be fine," He reached in the backseat and handed Blaine his tepid coffee. Blaine nodded slightly, taking the coffee in his hand. He tilted his head back and just swallowed, not even needing the beverage to swallow. He held it though and sipped at it after he took the pill, still feeling nervous, he looked at Kurt with scared, wide eyes as he drank the coffee.
"Blaine, honey, this is McKinley, not Dalton, no one cares if you're late. Now let's go in and go to second period, that's all," Kurt said, soothingly patting his boyfriend's back one more time before taking his keys out of the ignition. He grabbed his Marc by Marc Jacobs' messenger bag and his cold coffee that was going straight to the garbage can.
"Are you sure?" Blaine asked, feeling tired, but smiled, "I feel better now, my heart is going a lot slower, thank you," Blaine smiled, leaning in to hug Kurt.
"Yeah, babe, I've been late too many times to count, now let's go inside and tomorrow I promise we'll be on time," Kurt pulled away slowly and got out of the car with Blaine following like a lost puppy.
"Wait for me, Kurt," Blaine called out, gripping a hold of Kurt's jacket and then his arm once he caught up with him.
Later that day after a treacherous day of classes, Blaine entered Glee Club with his hand attached to Kurt's. They were the only ones in the room because Glee didn't start for another ten minutes. Kurt sat down and Blaine found his way into Kurt's lap, leaning against him.
"Kurt, I'm still kind of tired, I just want to go home and sleep," Blaine curled up into Kurt, leaning his face into his neck, breathing in his scent.
"But you're happy here though, right?" Kurt asked, rubbing the boy's back as Blaine closed his eyes.
"Mm hm, cuz you're here, and I got friends now, too," Blaine just said as he started falling asleep.
"You want to go home? We can skip Glee, I'll take you there?" Kurt asked as Rachel and Finn entered the room.
"I am having a party tonight, everyone in Glee is invited, wine coolers and beer are on the menu, but no getting out of hand, guys," Rachel announced dramatically to the near empty room, as if she was performing in front of hundreds, and walked over to Blaine and Kurt.
Blaine blinked his eyes tiredly and looked at Rachel from his position on Kurt's lap. Rachel handed Kurt a lacy invitation, who took it and looked it over.
"Yeah, I guess we can make it," Kurt answered for the two of them, as Rachel handed Blaine one, who took it, but didn't even look at it as he just wrapped his arms around Kurt and closed his eyes.
"Great, great, we're gonna have party games and I'm going to make a mango salsa dip to go with tortilla chips," she just nodded and smiled before sitting down next to Kurt.
Kurt didn't say a word, but Rachel looked curiously at Blaine and leaned in to him, "Is he okay?"
"Yeah, just tired, I think we're gonna leave…Blaine, honey, wake up," Kurt gently shook Blaine until he opened his eyes. Kurt gently nudged Blaine's thighs, silently telling him to get off him, so they can go home.
"Yeah, I'm up," Blaine slowly got up and stretched, "Let's go to your house though. Mom is coming home early today and now that I talk, she wants to degrade me a little more and more every time I see her."
Kurt sighed softy, missing the warmth of Blaine against him and stood up, too. "Alright, we'll squeeze on my tiny bed and just sleep."
"Can I stay over? I really need a break from them," Blaine asked quietly, taking Kurt's hand and looking at him with wide sad eyes.
"Of course, I'll even try to convince my dad to let you stay in my bed," Kurt put his arms around Blaine and pulled him into a hug as Mr. Schue came through the doors.
"Mr. Schue, do you mind if we leave before Glee starts? Blaine is sick," Kurt asked softly as Blaine pulled away from the hug a little, so that Kurt's arm was still around his back.
"Yeah, sure, get the assignment from Rachel or Mercedes," he told them as they walked out the classroom door, passing Brittany on the way.
Brittany smiled and waved, "Hey dolphins, where you going?" she asked with a giant dopey smile.
"Home, Blaine is drained," Kurt answered for Blaine who just smiled at Brittany.
"Oh, that rhymes, and just so you know, Blaine, my cat would be a great pillow, you should come over," Brittany smiled sweetly back at Blaine and patted Blaine's shoulder, "I can make you feel better," she winked.
Blaine just laughed and Kurt glared, pushing Blaine along out the school doors.
Once they got to Kurt's house, Blaine fell right onto Kurt's bed and smiled contently, "I love your bed and your house, it makes me feel safe and welcome and warm," Blaine cuddled into Kurt's blanket.
"I know, it's pretty nice," Kurt kicked off his shoes, watching his boyfriend, glad to see him get some proper sleep finally.
Kurt walked over to Blaine, slipped his shoes off and climbed into his unmade bed. He got behind Blaine, so that they were spooning. He pulled the blanket over them before wrapping his arm around Blaine.
Blaine immediately grabbed Kurt's arms and pulled them closer to him and just held them tight.
"I love you," Blaine kissed Kurt's hand and down his arm before bringing his arms back to his stomach and snuggling into the arms as if they were a stuffed animal. Blaine sighed softly, smiling while he nuzzled his head against Kurt's arms and squeezing at them and hugging them before settling in one spot.
"I love you, too," Kurt stroked Blaine's hair. The gel was soft after a day of sleeping all day, so Kurt could easily run his fingers through the messy curls.
"Night," Blaine mumbled, closing his eyes, but he turned his upper body real fast, opening his eyes again and captured Kurt's lips in his.
"Mmm, good night, babe," Kurt mumbled into the kiss when Blaine pulled away suddenly, going back to the way he was and closing his eyes again before quickly falling asleep.
