Chapter 2

Kurt's POV

I was about to fall asleep, it was harder since it was a bit later than I normally went to sleep but with finals being next week I needed to do some more studying. Plus I really did not want to give up my skin moisturizing routine. I completely needed it and even a single day without it could be bad.

I heard a sharp cry of pain in a voice and I recognized. It was Finn, what had he done to hurt himself this time? I knew that it meant that I would get even less sleep but he was my step-brother and he was in pain what else was I supposed to do.

I got into slippers that I kept next to my bed as I got out of it and rushed to my step-brother's bedroom with the first aid kit that I had picked up from the kitchen as I rushed.

I knocked on the door a few times to get his attention. "Finn, what happened are you hurt? May I enter, I have the first aid kit with me?" I asked him while I moved my hand to the handle awaiting a response or lack of response.

"Yeah, you can come in though it is late and why would you have the first aid kit with you? Are you hurt do you want me to get Burt, or Mom?" He asked me as I entered his bedroom which was messy as normal but he has a textbook in front of him on his desk which was odd.

"What are you talking about? I heard you cry out in pain and thought you were hurt." I asked him in a huff as I put down the first aid kit and crossed my arms and I managed to give him a pointed look.

"I ah, got hurt from studying but it was nothing. I had no idea studying could hurt a person." Finn told me while looking down at his textbook with hatred. Studying was good but how in the world had he been able to get hurt while studying?

"How did you get hurt while studying, wait did you get a paper cut?" I asked him while grabbing the first aid kit and I noticed that there was red all over his desk. Hopefully that is just paint or crayon from some project because that would be a lot of blood to lose.

"Yeah, but what is the big deal Kurt the cuts were very small?" He asked me as he shut his book and I could see that his fingers were all covered with multiple fresh lines that were from small cuts. Perhaps paper cuts and there was no bandage or band-aids over any of them.

"They would be no big deal if you had covered your hands and washed your hands but you clearly haven't so you could get an infection from the wounds." I lectured him while wondering how in the world could he have gotten so many paper cuts.

"Fine I should have taken better care of them but they didn't bleed too much." Finn argued and I looked at his desk, it had a lot of blood on it. It was not hospital big but near that level large. It was a big deal, did he even see all of his blood.

"Finn, look at your desk that is a lot of blood, you need to wash your hands and then wrap them up in some clean bandage because there are too many now to put band-aids over them." I explained to him in a firm voice.

"Okay, Kurt really it isn't all that bad." He tried to claim to me but did what I told him too without putting up a fight. He went to his bathroom hopefully to clean his hands off and wrap them up.

Wile he washed his hands off hopefully I went off and got Dad and Carol to come down to talk to Finn about it. He really needed an intervention because that was wrong. That amount of blood loss simply was not healthy. I just needed to lure Finn to the living room where they were waiting.

"What is wrong, none of them bleed all that much and it was just from studying?" Finn asked as Carol had told him that it was wrong with not doing anything about the paper cuts. We were all tired but knew that Finn needed to understand that this was bad.

If he didn't he might lead a life where he would never seek medical assistance. It was so bad with those paper cuts that none of us had asked him really how he was studying to get so many of them.

"It does not matter how much blood you lose or how you got it kid. You need to deal with it and not wait for someone else to do so for you." Dad pointed out to him as soon as Finn protested the idea that he had treated the injuries in the wrong way.

"Okay, so paper cuts are dangerous and I will need to treat them as injuries." Finn stated the point of the intervention after thinking about it for a few minutes and he seemed to get it. Finally hopefully soon I would get to go to sleep.

By now I was about 3-4 hours later than I would normally would be for sleep and I am sure that people would be able to tell tomorrow but somethings are more important.

"Yeah, they are so how about we all go back to sleep and I will pick some replacement bandages for your hands tomorrow." Carol said and we all headed back to bed and I could finally get to sleep.
