A/N: I'm sorry for falling back in my old habit which is using 'these' instead of "these" but it's a habit and the last four books I read all use 'these' instead of "these" -not joking- so I don't think it's all that wrong, but if it really bothers you, feel free to tell me, hope you'll enjoy –xx-
Chapter fifteen. Blaine opens his eyes, his head aches and his neck is sore. 'Blaine?' Lucy says the minute he opened his eyes. He rubs his eyes to become a little more awake. 'Yes?' He answers her. 'Are you okay?' She asks. 'Yeah I'm okay' he says on a reassuring tone, she stares at him and he gets the hint. He smiles as he lifts up the duvet 'hop in' he says. She smiles brightly and her eyes twinkle in the sunlight that shines trough the curtain. She snuggles close to him and fidgets with the hem of his sleeping shirt. 'I've never seen your parents' she prompts. He nods 'they've been here once, but you were asleep' 'Why don't they come more often?' she asks as she really doesn't get it. It's nice when your parents visit you right? He shrugs 'I don't want them to come' he says on a softer tone. 'why not?' Lucy asks confused. 'Because my mom will make a fuss about everything and she will ask if I'm okay like every five minutes. My dad would be okay but if he comes she'll come along so, better not' 'don't you miss them?' 'Sometimes' 'You should ask them to come, you can always say you're tired if you want them to leave' she says giggling. 'I'll think about it' he says but he already knows the answer, he's definitely not going to ask them. 'What happened yesterday?' She asks. 'You mean when we were in the hallway?' he asks and she nods as answer. 'Well one moment I was just walking with you and the other moment everything went blurry and then I was in pain and it didn't stop and I felt really nauseous' he pauses for a moment 'but luckily you were there' he says smiling as he runs a hand through her long blonde hair. 'Are you still in pain?' she asks concerned she doesn't want that something happens with him, she likes him. She wishes he was her big brother. 'No, Kurt gave me painkillers and then he drugged me' Blaine says grinning. 'Drugged you?' 'Yeah so I could sleep' he explains smiling. 'Oh' she says. 'Well I think that Kurt likes me better' she says giggling. 'Why so?' 'Because he gave me a lolly and you pills, obvious right?' She says and grins. 'Well then, I think I know my place' Blaine says playing along. 'Indeed you do' she says while giggling. 'You think that's funny?' She smiles 'I do' 'I let you in my bed and then you start to laugh about me huhm?' She tries to hide the smile that's playing on her lips. He starts to tickle her 'do you still think it's funny?' 'N-no I d-don't' 'I can't hear you' 'I don't' she yells. 'You don't?' He states. 'No' she whispers. 'Well then it's okay' he says smiling as he stops with the tickling. 'You should totally take children when you're older' she says smiling. Blaine sighs softly. 'Yeah' he says his voice is suddenly soft. 'And you should marry, that's so romantic' she says dreamily. 'Do you want to marry?' He asks her. 'Yes, in a very pretty dress and with heels' 'I bet you'll look beautiful' she blushes as he says that. 'Close your eyes' he whispers and she does. 'Imagine you're wearing the prettiest dress you've ever seen, you're waiting to walk down the aisle, you're nervous but that's okay because today it finally is your big day, you're getting married. The music starts to play and you walk down the aisle followed by bridesmaids that throw flowers all around you. You smile as you see him, the guy of your dreams after all the speeches and vows he slides the ring on your finger you smile brightly as you hear the words "you may kiss the bride" and then that's what you guys do, you kiss and kiss. You'll never forget that day' she opens her eyes. 'Liked that?' 'Yes' she says while nodding. 'You're a good storyteller' 'Thank you' Blaine says smiling. 'So how does it feel to be married?' Kurt asks as he walks into the room. 'Jeez Kurt you scared me' Blaine says after he sat straight up in the pillows. 'So how are we feeling today?' 'We?' Lucy asks. 'Mmh yeah you and Blaine' 'we're okay' she answers. 'Are we?' Kurt raises an eyebrow as he looks at Blaine. Blaine just nods which makes Kurt looking suspiciously at him. 'We'll talk later' Kurt mouths at Blaine as he quickly looks at Lucy. 'So what are we going to do today?' Lucy asks Kurt. 'We can go outside if you'd like that' 'Can Blaine come?' she asks. 'Sure, I don't see a reason why not' he says. She smiles 'good' 'We've to wait though' 'Why wait?' She asks. Kurt is quiet for a moment. 'Until after Blaine's chemo' 'You two can go without me' Blaine suggests. Lucy gives him a look 'no, you're coming along. It will be fun right Kurt?' Kurt smiles at Lucy and then at Blaine 'yes' He gives in to Lucy's aroableness 'Well okay' 'well then that's settled, I'll pick you up at 4' Lucy giggles. 'What?' Kurt asks. 'It sounds like you're asking us for a date' Blaine smiles as he thought the exact same. 'Maybe I am' Kurt says and winks before leaving.'So are we ready?' 'Yes' Blaine and Lucy say in unison. 'Good' Lucy and Blaine are both wearing their coats since it's cold outside because well it is winter after all. 'Kurt?' Lucy asks when they're outside. 'Yes?' 'When will there be snow?' Kurt frowns as he thinks about it 'I have no idea' 'I hope soon' she says smiling. 'Snow is awesome' she says smiling 'winter is awesome, you can have snow ball fights and ice skate and it's Christmas time and there are lights everywhere and presents' she smiles brightly. 'That's true' Kurt says smiling as he already thinks about all the presents he has to buy for all of the kids. He knows what he is going to buy Lucy though, she is the easiest.
'I'm tired of walking Kurt' Lucy whines after they made a small walk through the park. 'Can you carry me' Blaine grins as Kurt rolls his eyes. 'Kuuuurt' she says but when there's no answer she repeats it over and over again until he lifts her off the ground. She smiles contently when Kurt holds her against his chest. 'Is she asleep?' Blaine ask after a few minutes. Kurt looks at Lucy 'I guess so' he says softly. Blaine smiles but it fades away when Kurt starts to talk. 'So how are you really feeling? I want the truth Blaine' 'The truth is that I'm perfectly fine' Blaine lies. 'I don't think that's the truth' Kurt says, his voice serious as he looks Blaine in the eye. 'Well okay, I've had better felt yes' he admits. 'So should we do something about it?' Kurt asks. 'No it's not that bad' Blaine says quickly. 'So you don't want to sleep for a while and when you wake up you won't have pain anymore? That doesn't sound alluring for you?' It does 'maybe' 'So you want me to give you painkillers don't you? You just didn't dare to ask, or wait that's not it you don't want to make "trouble" you don't want people to think you're sick' Kurt stops walking abruptly so he's in front of Blaine. 'Listen to me' Kurt wants to lay a hand on Blaine's shoulder but he's carrying Lucy so that's kind of hard and so the gesture loses his meaning. 'You are sick Blaine and you have to accept that, people do accept that and now you have to accept it yourself. Don't you think that I've never noticed how your parents haven't visited you and how until recently there hasn't been anyone to visit you, I do notice but I just thought you needed some time and that it would turn out to be okay eventually but it isn't and that's why you have to listen to me, it's okay to be the "victim" for once you don't always have to be the strong one.' Kurt saw the tears start to well in Blaine's eyes and he knows he got it at the right end. He wants to hug Blaine, hold him slowly rock him back an forth and tell him that it all will be alright but then there's the problem of Lucy and of course the bigger problem of "doctor and patient" 'but I do need to be the strong one because if I don't no one does when I tell people how I really feel it will only make them scared and concerned so it's better if I just act like everything is okay' Blaine looks into Kurt's eyes they're a deeper shade of blue now, they look more like the sea instead of the sky. A wild sea, a sea of emotions. 'I'm just really scared Kurt' he chokes out and then literally throws his body against Kurt's, Lucy trapped in between. Lucy opens her eyes and smiles 'group hug' Blaine smiles a little his eyes still full of tears as he feels Lucy's arms wrap around him. 'I love you guys' she says giggling which makes both Blaine and Kurt smile brightly. 'So I don't think you're tired anymore' 'I am' she says as she clutches on Kurt's coat. He grins and then puts her down 'too bad' She pouts and then looks at Blaine 'Blainey?' Blaine murmurs something under his breath that looks a lot like "Thanks Rachel" and then says 'don't call me that' 'but it's a cute nickname' 'no it's not and stop laughing you' Blaine says to Kurt who clearly is enjoining the situation. 'Okay Blainey' Kurt says teasingly. 'Stop it' Blaine snaps. Kurt raises his hands in defence but still grins. 'please' Blaine looks at Lucy and then realises what she was asking so he picks her up, how can you ignore those puppy eyes? 'Can I sit on your neck?' 'Lucy I don't know if that's such a good idea, Blaine still-' 'sure' Blaine interrupts Kurt and puts her on his neck. 'Look how tall I am' she says smiling of pleasure. 'Shouldn't we head back?' 'Oh I get it you want to dump me huhm' Kurt says teasingly 'no no I didn't mean it like that' Blaine says quickly. 'I know, I was just teasing' Blaine smiled in relieve and in those moments you could still notice that Blaine was, well younger than Kurt and still sort of a kid, not really but a little.
'Here' Kurt says as he hands Blaine a glass of water and two pills. Blaine recognises one of them, which is a painkiller but the other one doesn't look familiar. 'What's this for?' 'Just take it' 'I'm supposed to take a pink pill which is a big as a golf ball and I don't even know what it does?' 'Well the size of a golf ball that's a bit undue but basically yes' Blaine raises an eyebrow 'god Blaine just take it' his voice turns softer 'really, trust me, take it after the painkiller' Blaine swallows the painkiller with a sip of water. 'Good, now take the pink one dry' 'dry? Are you out of your mind!' 'Really, trust me. And bite before you swallow' 'bite oh no that is gross' 'Just do it' 'I- okay' he says and takes the pill, dry. It's sugary and tastes like candy. 'And?' 'It's nice' Kurt smiles 'I know, it's candy' Kurt says. 'I figured you'd like that' 'you scared me I thought it was a pill jeez Kurt' but he only smiles. 'Well I should get going, there are more patients. See you soon' he gives Blaine one last smile and then leaves the room but before he closed the door behind him it opens just further revealing Rachel. 'Rach!' Blaine says as he really is happy to see her. 'Blainey' she says in response and this time he lets her he just missed her and wants to hug her flat like now. And as if his prayers were heard she hugs him tightly squeezing the air out of his lungs. 'What are you doing here?' 'I figured that since it is visiting hour it is legal to come and I got something to give to you' 'That being?' She releases him and hands him three cards covered in little drawings with big letters on it reading "grease". Mrs. Smith wanted me to give you those, she wants to have you there and she said that a few extra cards were okay if you'd like to take friends from here with you' Blaine swallows quickly as he feels a lump forming in his throat. 'I don't know if-' 'can I maybe say something?' Lucy asks 'When did you wake up?' Blaine asks surprised as he didn't even notice her walking over to them. 'I heard a familiar voice' she says smiling at Rachel who smiles back at her. 'I think you should go, also I'd like a trip' 'who says I'm taking you?' 'Hhm let me think' she says giggling. 'So are we going?' 'I don't know I mean I can risk it for myself but what if something happens to you?' She frowns but then smiles mischievously. 'What if we ask Kurt? You got three cards right?' Rachel nods fiercely and winks at Lucy, luckily for Rachel she is out of Blaine's eyeshot 'I do' Rachel says smiling, liking where this is going. 'well then, problem solved' Blaine shakes his head disapprovingly but in reality he can laugh about it, she is a little cheeky but thy makes it funny and she means well. 'I can't wait, when is it?' Blaine looks at the card 'this Saturday' 'this Saturday? That's in two days, that's great!' Lucy says enthusiastically. Rachel smiles brightly 'so you're coming?' He nods and before he can say anything else Rachel pulls him in a hug. 'It really means a lot to me that you're coming' she whispers in his ear 'I know how hard it must be so thank you really, thank you' 'Rach i-' 'shh don't ruin the moment' she smiles and pulls away from him. 'Lucy would you like to come a little earlier so you can take a look backstage?' Her eyes twinkle and she smiles brightly 'yes I would definitely like that' 'well then that's settled. I'll see you guys Saturday at uhm I think seven is okay because it's starts at half past eight so time enough to look around right?' 'Thank you so much!' Lucy says and hugs Rachel. 'I think you're the perfect sandy' Rachel bites her lip and smiles. God what is she cute no wonder that Blaine likes her and she's likes him, not that that is a wonder because literally every kid likes Blaine. 'Well guys I should get going I still have a lot of homework to do' 'homework? Do you believe it yourself?' 'well yes, it's this Saturday okay I have to be sure that I know my lines and especially if such important people come to watch' she says grinning. ' Blaine smiles 'good excuse' She smiles 'see you guys Saturday, and don't forget to ask someone for the third ticket' she says and winks at Lucy. 'So' Lucy says the minute Rachel is gone. 'Come with me' she says while pulling at his arm. 'Where are we going?' 'Ask someone for the third ticket' 'who?' 'Don't be silly, Kurt of course' she says while taking Blaine to Kurt's office. 'I hope he's here' she says as she knocks on the door. There's silence for a moment before there's Kurt's voice 'yes?' She opens the door 'are you free this Saturday night?' 'Lucy, Blaine?' Kurt says surprised. 'Take a seat' he says gesturing to the two chairs in front of his desk. He frowns as he tries to think of a reason why they could be here but he can't think of any. 'You didn't answer my question' He blinks quickly 'sorry what was your question Lucy?' 'Are you free this Saturday night?' 'Why are you laughing?' She says indignant. 'It sounds like you're asking me for a date' 'I am!' She says giggling. 'Why so?' 'Rachel, Blaine's BEST friend' she pauses to giggle 'was here and she brought him tickets for grease and she asked if he wanted to come which he wants of course and I can come too but he didn't know if it was such a good idea and if you were okay with it so I figured that if you come along it must be okay right? Nothing bad can happen then. So that's why I asked if you're free Saturday night because we want you to come along and it's this Saturday. So are you coming?' 'Oh wow I uhm I don't know if that's such a good idea Lucy' 'but...' 'I'd have to ask free then because I have to work and I'd have to consult with my team if it's okay for you guys to go' 'no Kurt please don't do this' she says as she almost starts to cry. 'Rachel promised me I could go backstage' and there come the tears shit... 'Please don't cry Lucy' she sniffs 'we'll find a solution okay' 'b-but I r-r-re-really want to g-go' 'I know sweetie I know, come here' what am I supposed to do?... She rises from her chair and walks to Kurt who pulls her on his lap wiping her tears away with his thumb. Kurt sighs 'I'll come' 'r-really?' 'Really, pinkie promise' she smiles a little and links her finger with Kurt's. Blaine hadn't said anything since he knew where they were going but he had to answer the question Kurt asked him. 'Where it is?' Blaine repeats hoping he heard right. 'It's at my school in the auditorium' Kurt looks at Blaine 'oh right my school is NYU. Kurt raises an eyebrow 'wow' he says as he thinks of his own college years how bad he had wanted to go to NYADA but when that didn't work out he had chosen to become a doctor. god who chooses that?! He still regrets that he didn't listen to his dad and waited to sign up again in the fall but no he couldn't wait that long and obviously when it doesn't work out it's not made for you.
'Tears always work' Lucy says as soon as they leave Kurt's office. 'You faked that?' 'That's what they call acting, I thought that you of all people would know' 'you sneaky bastard' she giggles and beams on her tiptoes while they walk back to their room. Just when they walk back into their room Blaine hears his phone buzz. It's a text from Rachel. "We have a dress code which indeed is white but I'd still like to see you wear something else than your hospital gown ;) x Rachel." Blaine smiles as he reads the text. 'What is it?' 'Rachel, something about a dress code. Do you have something white?' 'I have a white dress is that okay?' 'Perfect' he says smiling and quickly sends a text back to Rachel. "all settled see you Saturday x Blaine" "I'm proud of you Blainey, I miss you already can't wait until Saturday. Xx Rachel" "I'm proud if you too and I sort of miss you too, a little :p xx" He yawns and looks at the time. Half past eight. He sighs softly. He always went to bed late without being tired or grumpy in the morning and now he can't even stag awake until nine o'clock. 'Lucy?' 'Yes?' 'I'm going to bed, sorry' 'Why sorry? I don't mind' He smiles a little 'thanks'. He curls up under the duvet and shivers from the wind that comes into the room through the window. 'I'm cold is it okay if I close the window?' She asks a she notices him shiver. She isn't cold but she knows that if she asks if she should close it for him he'll say no and this way he'll say yes. 'Sure' see I knew it she thinks to herself. She stands on her tiptoes so he can close the window. 'Night Blaine' 'goodnight Lucy'
