Chapter 109

He pulled the covers up and directed Kurt into the bed, tucking the blankets around him up to his chin. "Now, I'm going to get you some breakfast. You just sit tight."

"Blaine, I-" Kurt began.

"Shh, don't talk. You wouldn't want to ruin your voice." Blaine interjected.

Kurt shut his mouth and watched as Blaine left the room, waiting impatiently for him to come back.

Blaine, after a quick talk with Carole, brought up oatmeal and some toast for both of them. Burt was already at the shop for the day.

Kurt reached out to take the bowl from him and Blaine pulled it back. "Nope. You just sit there and let me take care of you. I wouldn't want you to pretend to eat it while my back was turned." Blaine said.

Kurt's eyes dropped and he twisted his hands, point well-made. By lying about his temperature, he had broken Blaine's trust about his health. Clearly, Blaine wasn't just going to let that go. Resolving to go along with and make it up to Blaine, he opened his mouth as Blaine brought a spoon full of oatmeal to his mouth. He smiled when he tasted the cinnamon in the bite.

Blaine stroked his cheek before getting the next bite. "Thank you for not fighting me on this. As I said, I'm not going to spank you for lying to me and endangering your health. But you will spend the day in bed. No cell phone, no laptop. I will be taking your temperature every two hours and you will take your medicine with no complaints or else you won't like the consequences. Unless you have something important to say, I don't want to hear any talking from you. I just want you to concentrate on feeling better and telling the truth. You do that and I'll let you do more. But you have to earn it. Okay?"

By the time Blaine had finished listing out Kurt's day, Kurt had finished his breakfast and was sitting, looking dejected at Blaine's words. He nodded silently, looking down.

"Good boy." Blaine said, kissing his forehead. He handed him the plate of toast. "I'll let you handle this. I want you to eat at least one whole piece, okay?"

Kurt smiled at him, feeling his insides soar at just this small bit of trust. He picked up a piece and set to eating it as Blaine ate his own breakfast. They finished eating in silence, Blaine taking the plate of toast from Kurt with a smile.

"You just rest. I'm going to do the dishes and take a shower." Blaine said. Kurt nodded and moved further down the pillows, lying on his side. He watched as Blaine left the room for a few minutes, not tired enough to fall asleep. Blaine came back in the room carrying a bag and he watched with interest as Blaine set it across the room on his desk.

At Kurt's look, Blaine said. "It has some stuff that Carole picked up for me before she left for work. Nothing for you to concern yourself with. Just rest."

Kurt sighed and followed Blaine with his eyes as he moved around the room, grabbing clean clothes before he headed into the bathroom to shower. Once Blaine had shut the door behind him, Kurt rolled onto his back and looked at the ceiling. 'I really should decorate that. Just in case I'm ever stuck in bed all day again.' He thought to himself, sighing out loud. This provoked a coughing fit and he groaned as he curled back on his side.

His eyes caught sight of the bag on the desk and he looked at it, trying to read the label or see through the plastic. Eying the bathroom door, Kurt was debating whether it was worth the risk of getting up and looking in the bag when he heard the shower shut off.

Rolling onto his back, he shut his eyes and tried to get some rest. However, when Blaine came out of the bathroom five minutes later, he was still awake. He was tired but not able to sleep just yet after spending so much time in bed.

"Not tired babe?" Blaine asked, dropping his dirty clothes in the hamper. Kurt shrugged and curled up to watch Blaine as he walked over to the bag.

Blaine opened it and smiled at Kurt. "Well, how about we read the new Vogue that Carole picked up?"

Kurt sat up and nodded, stifling a small cough. Blaine crossed the room and slipped under the covers, sliding next to Kurt. Kurt curled into him, resting his head on Blaine's shoulder. Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurt and held the magazine in front of both of them. He opened it to the first page and Kurt bit his lip, trying to hold his comments in.

"It's interesting isn't it? I like how the designer did the stitching here." Blaine said, pointing. Kurt nodded and pointed at the hat the model was wearing. Blaine laughed. "You would like that hat. It would look amazing on you."

Kurt laughed breathily, nodding. They continued going through the magazine, Blaine making comments for both of them, Kurt non-verbally communicating his own feelings. After a half hour of this, Kurt's eyes started drooping a bit and he just nodded a bit as he listened to Blaine read about one of the designs.

Blaine smiled and pressed a kiss to the top of Kurt's forehead before he continued reading. Kurt drifted off to sleep listening to Blaine's soothing voice.

He was woken abruptly when Finn burst through the door of his room. "Kurt, I need your help." Finn said loudly, door swinging open and hitting the wall.

Kurt sat up abruptly, shocked out of his sleep. He gasped loudly and launched into a harsh coughing fit from the sudden intake of breath. Blaine rubbed his back through it, wincing at the raspy sound of his boyfriend's breath when he managed a gasp between coughs.

"Shoot, dude, sorry. I'll just-" Finn said, backing out of the room.

Kurt shook his head and glared at Finn, raising a hand to tell him to stop. Finn obeyed and waited as Kurt regained his breath. Kurt opened his mouth and started ranting. "What was that? What on earth would possess you to come bursting in like that?" He was going to continue when Blaine cut him off.

"Shh, Kurt. Rest your voice. Your throat is going to get worse with all that yelling." Blaine said, genuinely concerned as he heard Kurt's voice breaking as he yelled. He turned to Finn. "But seriously Finn, could you maybe try knocking next time? Kurt is sick and was sleeping."

"I'm sorry guys. I just needed some help but I can just go over to Puck's. I forgot you were sick, bro. I'll just go." Finn waved and left the room, shutting the door gently behind him. They listened as the door slammed shut downstairs.
