Chapter 106
Blaine lay next to Kurt for the rest of the afternoon, brushing his hair back and comforting him as he alternately slept fitfully and woke, coughing and sneezing. By the time the rest of the family came home, Kurt had made his way through half a box of tissues and Blaine was getting worried.
"Kurt, Blaine? Are you boys here?" Blaine heard Carole call.
He called back in relief. "We're upstairs. Kurt's sick."
He heard footsteps coming up the stairs and shot Carole a grateful look when she appeared in the doorway. "What's the matter, sweetie?" Carole asked as she moved into the room. She placed her hand on Kurt's forehead.
He moaned and batted at her hand. "Don't, too cold."
"Shh, it's okay babe. Just let her check your temperature." Blaine said, grabbing Kurt's hands and squeezing reassuringly.
Kurt whined a bit in the back of his throat and burrowed back into Blaine as Carole checked his temperature. "Did he take any medicine?" She asked.
"Yeah, I gave him a couple Tylenol a few hours ago. He's less warm than he was before but he still feels sick." Blaine answered, stroking Kurt's hair.
Carole nodded. "Well, in an hour, give him a bit more medicine. I'll make him some soup from dinner. You just rest." She said to Kurt, giving him a kiss on the forehead. With a reassuring smile, Carole left the room.
Kurt sneezed and Blaine handed him a tissue. "Sorry." Kurt said, tossing the tissue into the trash before laying back down on Blaine.
"For what? Being sick?" Blaine laughed. "Unless you have some special magical skills I don't know about, you can't help it. Now hush and rest."
Kurt smiled a bit as he ducked his head back down onto Blaine's chest. He drifted off listening to his heartbeat.
An hour later, Burt came up the stairs. "You boys up for dinner now?" He asked, taking in the sight of his flushed son.
Kurt groaned but sat up. Blaine helped him up and they headed down the stairs where Kurt slumped in a chair, shivering. Blaine ran back up the stairs and grabbed a blanket, bringing it down to wrap around Kurt's shoulders. Kurt gave him a weak smile.
Carole brought Kurt a bowl of chicken noodle soup and Kurt picked up the spoon, eating it slowly. Blaine grabbed a plate of the pasta Carole had made for the rest of the family and ate quickly, keeping an eye on Kurt.
Kurt finished half the bowl and pushed it away. Blaine stroked his hair back. "You finished babe?" He asked.
"Yeah." Kurt mumbled, coughing a bit.
Blaine nodded and grabbed their dishes, bringing them to the sink before going to help Kurt back up the stairs. Kurt lay down on the pillows and curled up in a ball.
"No, not yet babe. Let's get you into something more comfortable okay?" Blaine asked, shutting the door and going to grab pajamas for Kurt. He helped him sit up and pulled off his shirt, giving him a kiss on the forehead when he shot him a pouty face. He slipped a pajama shirt on Kurt and pushed him back down, unbuttoning his pants. He pulled them down and slipped some loose sweats on Kurt.
Kurt sighed as Blaine pulled the covers up over him. "I feel gross." He whined.
Blaine sat down next to him and rubbed his back. "I know. Just sleep." Kurt mumbled his assent before drifting to sleep again.
Blaine got up from the bed and sat at the desk, pulling Kurt's laptop to him and opening it. He started surfing the internet, checking on his face book and email. He spent a few hours this way, occasionally going over to Kurt and wiping his forehead or waking him to take some medicine.
He finally shut down the computer and got ready for bed, slipping into bed next to Kurt, falling asleep quickly.
He woke in the middle of the night to the sound of Kurt coughing loudly. He rubbed his eyes and looked to see Kurt was sitting up in bed, gasping between coughs. Sitting up, he rubbed his back, soothing him as he got through his coughing fit.
Once Kurt was slumped back in bed, he got out of bed and grabbed some medicine and water for him, helping him sip slowly. Kurt fell back asleep, head resting on Blaine's shoulder. Blaine stayed awake, listening to Kurt breathe for a while before he went back to sleep.
In the morning, he got up and took a quick shower before waking Kurt up for more medicine. Blaine went and made oatmeal for both of them, bringing it upstairs and pushing Kurt to eat it. He heated up soup at lunch for Kurt and helped him eat that too.
He spent his day watching movies quietly on the computer, watching Kurt sleep and waking him occasionally for medicine. Kurt would grumble when he was woken but Blaine would shoot him a pleading look and Kurt would get up and take the medicine. Blaine would then help Kurt back under the blankets, tucking them in around him and giving him a kiss on the forehead before leaving him to rest.
By the time everyone was back home for the day, Kurt's fever had finally broken and he was feeling a little better. He still wasn't up to eat much so he just ate more soup at dinner. When he got back upstairs after dinner, he took off the pajamas he had been wearing since the night before, crinkling his nose in disgust.
"Can we burn these?" He asked Blaine, dropping them on the floor.
Blaine laughed. "If you really want to. I think washing them is sufficient though."
Kurt sighed, letting out a small cough. "No fun." He walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Blaine slipped off his clothes and followed Kurt in. "I'm no fun? Says the person who spent all day sleeping."
Kurt turned and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck. "Were you bored honey?"
Blaine nodded, pouting at Kurt. "Well, since you did such a good job taking care of me today, why don't you come in the shower and I'll take care of you too?" Kurt said, thrusting his hips forward into Blaine.
Blaine groaned and dropped his head on Kurt's shoulder. "You are not fair. And I don't think you should be doing anything strenuous right now."
Kurt sighed. "Well then, we will take it nice and easy. Now come on." H grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into the shower.
AN: Haha, yeah I'm leaving it there. I know I'm mean person. Review anyways?
