A/N: Okay this chapter is shorter (I think) than the others, and probably not as good but it is relevant to what is going to happen next so.. and (spoiler) to anyone who saw the clip of Sebastian hitting on Blaine, my thoughts are grrrrrrrr :( and, Blaine don't you dare fall for this jerk and wooo go territorial Kurt! Cough. anyway, I noticed I wrote Damian last chapter instead of Rory, so, oops.
Warning: same as the other chapters really.
"Kurt..." Mr Schue's voice sounded faint, and muffled, Kurt's head going dizzy and thumping. "Are you feeling all right?"
Kurt's own voice sounded as if it were far away as he spoke. "Yeah, I'm fine." Kurt didn't want to get sent home, he needed to prevent Sebastian from spending anymore one on one time with Blaine whatever it takes.
Kurt had been the first to arrive at Glee club, instantly collapsing into a chair while Mr Schue sorted through his sheet music. He looked up from what he was doing as he noticed Kurt, smiling, but it fell instantly as he saw Kurt's condition.
"Are you sure Kurt? You don't look too good."
"Mr Schue, I'm fine, seriously." Kurt massaged his temples making it look like he was just annoyed rather than the headache he had was killing him.
"Well if you're sure..." Mr Schue was cut off as the other Glee members entered the room.
Finn arrived with Rory following behind him, constantly talking at Finn excitedly. Finn looked at Kurt frowning. He knew Kurt was ill. He had been sat up coughing all night and in the morning took God knows how many vitamins and pain killers as well as adding an extra half hour to his skin care routine just to create the illusion he wasn't ill.
Finn went over to Kurt, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay dude?" Finn didn't usually talk to Kurt at school, but he was genuinely concerned that Kurt wasn't being himself.
Kurt just pinched Finn's sleeve and lifted his hand off his shoulder. "Finn, you keep asking me that, and for the umpteenth million time, I'm fine!"
Finn didn't look convinced but went to sit down anyway. Puck came sauntering in afterwards followed by Quinn and Artie. Tina and Mike were as inseparable as ever, picking their usual chairs next to each other. Rachel as always had to announce herself as she entered the room by filling it up with her ego and beaming as she suggested another 'perfect' song for sectionals.
To Kurt's dismay Blaine arrived with Sebastian in tow, both of them talking and smiling.
"You know you're so sexy." Sebastian drooled at Blaine.
Blaine just laughed. "Riiight."
"You know if you ever get lonely..."
"America is so much different from Ireland, but I still love everything about it..."
"Oh mike, I just love your abs..."
"This song would go perfectly with my voice..."
"Please, who wouldn't want all this badass?"
Everyone's voices blended into one as they reached a crescendo making Kurt feel as if his skull were about to crack. The pain killers were slowly wearing off and his temperature was rising rapidly. Everything became blurry and warped so much that Kurt couldn't hear Blaine when he called out to him.
Blaine noticed Kurt hadn't heard him so on a whim decided to crawl along behind his chair and try and make him jump.
Blaine clamped two rough hands on Kurt's shoulders yelling "Kurt!" and pushing him slightly.
Kurt barely responded, his eyes flickering up weakly to look at him. "Hey Blaine."
Blaine's brow furrowed as he moved round to face Kurt, gripping his forearms as Kurt's head began to lull forward, the fever taking an effect. "Kurt, hey, are you feeling alright?"
Kurt fought the fever as best he could. "Blaine, just, go sit down, I'm fine."
The entire Glee club went silent as Blaine leant forward. Kurt tried to move his head out of Blaine's reach, but Blaine was fast, firmly placing a palm against Kurt's forehead.
"Kurt! You're burning up!" Blaine cried.
"'m fine." Kurt mumbled, aiming to push Blaine away but falling against him instead.
Blaine held Kurt steady as he looked over at Mr Schue. "I think I should take Kurt to the nurse."
Kurt felt sore all over. His nose was blocked, his throat closed up and head spinning. He groaned rolling over in bed. Wait, when did he end up in bed? All Kurt remembered was waking up for school, the Glee club and then Blaine and then the rest just faded out.
The door to Kurt's bedroom opened and Blaine poked his head round. "Kurt! You're awake!"
"Blaine... why are you here?" Kurt croaked. "What about school?"
"It finished ages ago, so I thought I'd come see you." Blaine explained moving into Kurt's room still smiling.
"And Finn let you in?"
"Actually, no your dad did, he picked you up from school and as soon as Finn came to take over from him at the shop he came home to look after you. It was good catching up with your dad; I haven't had a proper conversation with him since prom."
"Blaine, you don't have to be here you know."
"Kurt, I want to be here. Besides, today we were supposed to go see the film..."
"Oh Blaine, I am so sorry!" Kurt was so disappointed, tonight was going to be the night he made Blaine fall so madly in love with him that Blaine wouldn't want to stay away from Kurt. He had planned the perfect outfit, the perfect hairstyle, the cologne and now he looked like death had decided to come over for dinner and brought the plague with him.
"Forget the film Kurt; I've brought something much better." Blaine revealed from behind his back Kurt's favourite musical and a giant bag of popcorn, tilting his head and raising his eyebrows the way Kurt always thought was cute.
Kurt clapped his hands delighted, scooting over as Blaine put the movie on and came to join him on his bed.
There's something about eating popcorn and singing along to the songs of your favourite musical of all time with the person you love that makes you feel instantly better. Kurt looked over at Blaine, thinking, how could Blaine be anymore perfect then he is right now?
Noticing Kurt had stopped singing, Blaine turned his head to look at him, blue, slightly green eyes meeting his. Without thinking, Blaine reached across, cupping one of Kurt's cheeks slowly moving closer.
Kurt gripped his arm, "Blaine, you'll get sick."
"I don't care." Blaine breathed, but before he was able to connect with Kurt, Sebastian's words began to swim around his head. 'It'll seem like you're just messing him about and that could hurt him'. Maybe being worried about Blaine getting sick was just a way of telling him Kurt didn't want it. What if Blaine did hurt Kurt? What if Kurt had decided he wanted to think about their relationship as well? Blaine began to doubt himself. Maybe Sebastian was right. Sighing Blaine stopped, turning back to watch the movie.
Kurt didn't know what to do. He knew Blaine had wanted to kiss him, and it was Kurt who had stopped him, but Blaine had carried on, saying he didn't care. Why then, did he stop? Maybe Blaine didn't want him anymore. Maybe Blaine stopping to think about their relationship meant that he had become more confused.
Kurt sighed. He opened his locker to look at the picture of Blaine and the cut out letters below. He loved Blaine. He loved him so much it hurt. Either that or his cold was still giving him hell.
Kurt took out his books for the day ignoring the people walking by as he closed his locker and made his way to calculus.
"Kurt! Hey Kurt! Wait up!" Blaine came running up beside him. "Feeling better?"
"Marginally." Kurt replied.
"Kurt, you're good at French right?" Blaine asked getting straight to the point.
"Do you even need to ask that?"
Blaine laughed. "I'm failing terribly."
"Shouldn't you ask the teacher for help, that's kinda what they're there for." Kurt retorted.
"Why do I need a teacher when I have a number one French genius right next to me." Blaine bumped shoulders with Kurt playfully.
"True." Kurt nodded his approval. "Okay, how about we go to the library after school and we'll go over what you're struggling with."
"Sure." Just then the bell rang signalling the start of first period. Blaine smiled warmly. "See you then."
"Yeah." Kurt grinned.
Kurt's attention was fixed on Blaine so he didn't notice Sebastian come up behind him and put an arm around his shoulder.
"Kurt!" Sebastian cried.
"What do you want Sebastian?" Kurt sighed.
"Your man."
"Well, you're not having him."
"We shall see."
Blaine sat in the library waiting for Kurt. He was going to tell him, no matter what the consequences.
Blaine waited.
Kurt never showed up.
Kurt cried out as he was slammed against the lockers, the dial digging painfully into his back. The hockey captain held him there by the collar, cutting off his air supply slightly, the rest of the hockey team surrounding him menacingly.
"Hey there fairy, how's it going?" The captain smiled. "We heard you were sick."
Kurt tried to throw back an insult but his chest felt too tight. Just when he thought he had got rid of the football team it turned out he now had the hockey team to deal with. That's just brilliant.
Kurt was dragged down the empty hallways, fighting all the way, before the hockey team stopped outside the janitor's closet and Kurt was thrown in. The door was slammed shut leaving Kurt in complete darkness.
Kurt stood up to try and open the door. Realising there was no handle on the inside he started to hit the wood, yelling for someone to let him out.
After half an hour Kurt gave up, sitting down on a box and resting his chin on his hands.
'Now I'm bored." Kurt muttered to himself.
An hour went by before Kurt heard footsteps going past. Thinking this was the perfect opportunity, Kurt began hammering on the door again. It was to his surprise that it was flung open and Kurt landed face first onto the white tiled floor of McKinley's corridor.
Kurt felt hands grab his arms as he was lifted up and back on his feet. Kurt dusted himself down before looking up at his rescuer.
"Karofsky?" Kurt was taken aback. "You know for someone who transferred you sure are here a lot."
Karofsky looked just as shocked as Kurt was after seeing the small boy falling out a cupboard. "I came to see Azimio." Karofsky shrugged. "Actually," Karofsky changed his mind. "I came to see you."
YAY KAROFSKY! and BOO SEBASTIAN and THE HOCKEY TEAM! Next up jealous Blaine ^.^
