''Not a chance'' he responded as he continued to run his figures through Kurt's hair.

Blaine lost track of time as he continued to leisurely run his fingers through the ends of Kurt's hair; this was quickly becoming one of his favourite past times and allowed him the opportunity to marvel at Kurt's beauty.

It was like he was hypnotized; he simply could not look away.

He always thought Kurt was attractive on some subconscious level; it was actually the first thing he noticed that day on the stairs.

The more he thought about it the more he realised he may have done a lot of un-intentional flirting during the early stages of their friendship.

Especially when he performed.

But he pushed those thoughts into the back of his mind when he saw how much pain Kurt was in and how desperately he needed someone to talk to. Someone who was like him and understood the kind of difficulties he faced on a daily basis, someone who could be a mentor. So Blaine offered that friendship and he was so thankful he did because it brought Kurt into his life and he wouldn't change that for a thing but now he needed more, he craved it. There was no way he could keep Kurt in the ''friend zone'', not now – he had to tell him.

As he gazed at him he couldn't help but notice the way his lips were slightly parted, with the barest hint of tongue on display or the way his little nose was turned up so cutely.

He slowly lent forward and gentle let his lips skim across Kurt's temple. It was a crazy move but he could no longer resist the urge and found his lips moving forward of their own accord.

The first thought that hit his brain was how unbelievably soft Kurt's skin felt beneath his lips; that beautiful skin so smooth, so pale.

He inhaled Kurt's scent and tried to hold back a whimper. He smelt so amazing, even in such a sterile environment he could still make out Kurt's aroma. Being this close to him was overwhelming and he felt his knees go weak.

It was so wrong, being close to someone like this without their knowledge but he couldn't help it. He glided his hand down Kurt's arm, taking a moment to recognize how toned it felt, then lightly placed his hand in Kurt's.

Their hands fit together perfectly and Blaine's mind was overloaded with possible scenarios of the two of them together, holding hands on the way to school, over the centre console whilst driving, walks in the park, and drinks at the Lima bean. He wanted it all so badly and he wanted to kick himself for taking so long to realize it.

Months! He'd wasted months of being ''friends'' when they could have been something so much more.

Blaine suddenly became aware of another person in the room and swiftly let go of Kurt's hand and stepped back.

He was relieved to see it was just a nurse coming to administer pain medication.

She smiled at him sweetly then stepped forward.

''Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you''

''It's ok'' Blaine responded.

''I've just got to give him his meds and check his stats and I'll get out of your way''

''Should I leave or …..'' Blaine started to offer before she interrupted him.

'' no, your fine, he could probably do with his honey here''

Blaine hung his head and was aware of the insane blush rapidly flushing his face and neck.

''what's up? Did I say something wrong?'' she enquired.

''umm, well… you see, we're not.. I mean I'd like, but.. we're.. um.. we're friends, just friends'' he spluttered out.

She raised her right eyebrow suspiciously ''ok! If you say so''

She stepped forward to the opposite side of the bed and placed her hand on Kurt's shoulder. ''sweetie, I'm going to need you to wake up; come on honey, wakey wakey''

-Nothing- Kurt was out for the count.

Blaine smiled; seeing she was getting nowhere, he leaned over and raised his hand to Kurt's face. Softly placing his palm against Kurt's cheek he smoothed the pad of his thumb along Kurt's cheek bone whilst trying to catch his attention

''Kurt'' nothing, so he spoke louder ''KURT! I know you're tired but come on, up you get. Just for a while then you can go straight back to sleep. Can you hear me? It's Blaine. Come on, up you get''

Kurt's eyes started to flutter.

'' That's it, up you get. Come on Kurt'' Blaine encouraged.

''Blaine'' Kurt mumbled, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Blaine's hazel eyes were suddenly face to face with the most spectacular blue green eye's he had ever seen. He had a passing thought wondering if they always looked so overpowering but swiftly moved on.

Their eyes were locked together; though it was only seconds it felt like hours passed before the nurse interrupted.

''Great, you're awake. I'm going to need you to shimmy up a bit; can you manage that sweetie?''

Kurt nodded then attempted to push himself into a more upright position.

Blaine noticed him struggling and wrapped his arm around him, took hold of his sides and gently started to help him manoeuvre.

''Thanks Blaine'' Kurt spoke.

It was only when he glanced down to respond that he realized how close they were and more importantly how good it felt to have his arms wrapped around Kurt.

Once he was done he looked up at the nurse and spotted a knowing smirk on her face. He was nervous she would say something but tried to push those thoughts out of his head so he could be there for Kurt.

''Ok sugar, I don't know how you are with injections but I've got to give you this''

She held up the biggest needle either of the boys had ever seen. Kurt let out a gasp; he was torn between wanting to act like he wasn't scared but being totally terrified at the same time.

''umm, that's kind of big, can't I take a pill or something'' Kurt asks. He was going for nonchalant but it came out shaky.

''Sorry honey, I have to get this straight into the blood steam''

Kurt's face fell and Blaine was sure he could see his eyes glaze over with unshed tears as well as his quivering chin.

Blaine reached out and took his hand ''its ok Kurt, you can do this. Just look at me ok. Do you think you can do that?''

Blaine couldn't quite make out the expression on Kurt's face but breathed a sigh of relief when he responded ''ok Blaine, I'll try''

They kept eye contact the whole time the nurse prepped his arm; they were lost in each other's gaze when Kurt abruptly jolted and hissed. They both looked to the nurse who was pulling away stating it was ''all done''.

She started recording some figures from the machines onto Kurt's chart.

The boys hands remained together, fingers intertwined, neither one appearing to want to break the connection.

''You ok Kurt?''

''Yeah! It stung a bit but it could have been worst''

''That was pretty brave of you, you know. I'm really proud of you''

''You are''

''Yeah''

The nurse smiled smugly to herself, replaced Kurt's chart, and then swiftly exited the room.

''You didn't have to stay you know' Kurt stated

''I know'' Blaine replied

''What about Rachel''

''What about her''

''Don't you have plans'' Kurt asks timidly

''I'd rather stay with you''

''Really''

''Really''

The room remained quiet while they just sat looking at each other.

''Why did you stay?'' Kurt's voice was so quiet; it was almost like he was afraid of the answer.

'' Kurt, I …''

Blaine was cut short by the sudden return of the Hummel Hudson family.

''Dude, were back'' Finn announced

''Thanks for stating the obvious Finn'' Kurt replied

''Hey kiddo, how you feeling?'' Burt asked as he stepped up to Kurt's bed side.

''Oh honey, are you ok? I've been worried sick about you. I tried to get here as quick as I could'' Carole rushed out as she too approached the edge of his bed.

''Guy's don't worry. I'm ok''

''Don't give me any of that crap kid, you gave us all a freight'' stated Burt.

Kurt rolled his eyes; an act Blaine found incredibly adorable and he couldn't help but smile to himself.

''What so funny'' Blaine turned to Finn then realized the question was aimed at him and now everyone was looking at him.

''Um, nothing'' he replied nervously

'Didn't think you'd still be here'' Finn continued

''Well.. I ..um wanted to keep him company''

''Didn't you have a date with Rachel tonight?'' he continued.

God doesn't he know when to shut up, Blaine thought.

''Wait a minute'' there was a pause then Burt carried on with a look of sheer disbelief on his face. ''you're going out with Rachel?''

One word flashed through Blaine's mind ''SHIT!''

Before he had a chance to protest, Kurt answered for him ''yeah, he is''

Blaine turned to look at Kurt and he was sure he saw sadness in his eyes; was Kurt hurt by the thought of him and Rachel? Did he care?

Burt recognized the upset in his son's eyes too; He couldn't believe it. After walking in on Blaine in his son's bed last week he was sure they were an item or at least there was potential.

Straight! He certainly never saw that one coming. He looked at his boy again and new the cause for his pained expression wasn't just from the fall. He wasn't blind, his son was heartbroken.

He suddenly felt pissed at Blaine and went into protective papa bear mode.

''I think it's probably time you head out'' he not so subtly stated to Blaine.

Blaine didn't take the hint and replied ''It's alright, I don't mind staying''.

Burt signed then tried again ''I know and it's appreciated, but it's getting late and visiting hours are almost up. You might as well get going; maybe stop off and see your girlfriend''

Blaine looked at Burt, assuming he misheard that tone but one look into his face told him all he needed to know. Burt was not happy and wanted him gone.

He suddenly felt like an insect under a microscope; the intensity in Burt's gaze made him nervous.

''I'll just be going then''

'He turned and looked at Kurt; had he caused that hurt on his face? He so badly wanted to sweep him in his arms and crush their lips together, parents in the room be dammed.

But he couldn't; the timing wasn't right.

He wished everyone a pleasant evening and informed Kurt he would be back tomorrow, much to the dismay of Burt.

He glanced over his should one last time before exiting the room; he had some planning to do.

THIS WAS PUT TOGETHER LAST MINUTE AS I WON'T BE ABLE TO UPLOAD FOR A FEW DAYS; I HOPE ITS OK.
