A/N: So, here's another chapter. Hope you'll enjoy it. It's half un-betad, so the mistakes are mine! :)


Blaine changed into his onepiece and limped out to the kitchen. He sat down at the table that was already set. Mercedes and Carole brought out the spaghetti and meat sauce to the table and called the playing teens in the living room. They came into the kitchen at the same as Kurt and Burt came downstairs from their showers. Kurt sat down next to Blaine and squeezed his knee. Blaine turned to him and pecked him on the cheek before pressing his nose to nuzzle Kurt.

"Aww, you guys are so sweet." Mercedes squealed to them, which made them both flush and separate quickly.

"Mmhmm…" Kurt said to her.

"Blaine, I can't believe Kurt's letting you wear an onepiece." Mercedes said.

"Yeah, actually he bought to me." Blaine said with raised eyebrows.

"Really?" Mercedes said and turned to Kurt.

"Yes, that's what love does to you." Kurt said and turned to Blaine. He smiled to his boyfriend and stroked his cheek with his one hand.

"What's with you two today?" Puck said between bites. "I'm here a lot and I never seen you two so love-dovey."

"Shut up Noah." Kurt said and returned to his plate.

"So, Blaine, how has it gone today, staying awake?" Burt asked him.

"Well, not so good… I fell asleep in the car and at the table earlier." Blaine shrugged.

"Honey, you've done good." Carole said with a smile. "You've slept maybe for 45 minutes total today. It's so much less than you normally do. How are you feeling now?"

"Like if I sit to comfortably I'll fall asleep." Blaine admitted. Kurt turned to face him again, he smiled fondly to him and squeezed his knee under the table again.

The dinner conversation went on about school, Burt's work and summer plans. Blaine didn't participated any more. His headache was getting worse and he was so tired.

"Blaine? Mercedes and I were about to go upstairs to study in my room. Wanna join us?"

"Yes, I could do some reading if that's okay."

"Of course honey." Kurt said and they got up.

Blaine and Kurt went in to Blaine's room to get their books before heading upstairs. It was somewhat of a struggle for Blaine to manage the stairs. When he finally got upstairs and into Kurt's room he slumped face down on the bed. He groaned.

"You okay?" Mercedes asked.

"My foot doesn't like the stairs." Blaine said.

"Are you going to lay like that honey?" Kurt asked him.

"No, I'm just gathering some energy to move." Blaine said.

"Well, okay then." Kurt said before sitting down on the floor with his back against the bed. He took out his history book and started reading. Mercedes sat next to him with her Spanish book.

They studied for fifteen minutes before Mercedes spoke up.

"Kurt? Shouldn't he have moved by now?" She pointed to the bed.

"Yes, right." Kurt said and got up.

He sat down at the bed and stroked the hair out of Blaine's face. He was fast asleep. Kurt removed the crutches still in Blaine's hands. Blaine was lying with his upper body on the bed but the waist down wasn't on the bed. He had his unharmed foot on the floor. Kurt shook him and called his name to wake him up. Nothing helped and Kurt couldn't move him either.

"I'll be right back, I have to get dad. He can't sleep like this." Kurt said to Mercedes.

Kurt and Burt came up minutes later and together they moved Blaine so he laid on the bed with his whole body. Blaine didn't wake up or move. Burt ruffled his hair before going out of the room.

"So, is everything ready for Saturday?" Mercedes asked.

Kurt nodded but put a finger over his mouth and pointed to Blaine. Mercedes shrugged.

Blaine woke up and stretched on his mattress in the bathroom. He had slept in here for some time now. Yesterday he had put in a lock on the door. He felt safe in here. He looked at the clock. He'd passed out yesterday after his father had smashed a vase on his head, so he hadn't been able to put on the alarm. But fortunately, he had woke up in time, he would still have time to get to school in time. He rolled up the mattress and started moving out all the things from the shower. After he had taken a shower, he then moved everything in to the shower again. He took out the Dalton uniform from his suitcase. Once in it, he started making his hair a little less curly and a lot less like a gloria. Today the Warblers were having auditions and he was going to try out.

When he was satisfied, he retrieved his satchel from the floor and unlocked the door. But it didn't open. He locked it and unlocked it again but the door couldn't be open. He tried to force it open but it didn't buckle.

"Blaine! I noticed your little lock yesterday, so I put in a new one from the outside. You're getting out when I decide so." His father said to him from the outside.

"What?"

"You're staying in there today."

"What? No! I have to go to school."

"No, you're not. And that's that. Blaine."

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"Let me out! LET ME OUT!"

"Blainey, I'm here, you're safe here. I love you. You're safe."

"He didn't let me out, Kurt. He didn't let me out."

"But you're out. You did it honey. You're safe here."

"Kurt. I love you."

"I love you too, Blainey."

Kurt held his boyfriend and looked at Mercedes sitting at the end of the bed with unshed tears in her eyes. Kurt felt Blaine becoming heavier and heavier.

"No, no, Blaine, you're not supposed to go back to sleep. You need to wake up and write in your notebook."

"I'll do it tomorrow." Blaine mumbled.

"No, wake up." Kurt tried to shake him awake but Blaine just groaned and fell back so sleep.

Kurt eased him down on the bed and sat next to Mercedes.

"You okay?" He asked her and put his arm on her shoulders. She leaned in to the touch.

"How much has he been through?" She asked him.

"Too much." He answered her.

"What was this about?"

"I don't know really."

"Why didn't you want him to fall back to sleep?"

"He usually falls back in the same dream, he needs to really wake up and write down his dream. But this time he doesn't seem to be back in the dream, and that's good."

"So, is it like this every night?"

"No, not at all. During the nights, he has sleeping pills and they make him sleeping without nightmares."

"So, he sleeps during the night."

"Yes, he takes the medicine and after that he might be able to hold a conversation for ten minutes before he falls asleep. And then he sleeps all through the night."

"Do you sleep together?"

"We do." Kurt said.

"Every night?"

"Every night."

"Do you sleep close?"

"Mercedes! Not that it's your business but Blaine usually sleeps more on top of me than on the bed. It's really cozy. He's really cuddly in his sleep."

"Awww… That's really sweet. I'm so happy for you Kurt."

"Yeah, thanks. Me too."

"Back to studying?"

"Yeah…" Kurt sighed and they both slipped down on the floor.

They studied until Burt came knocking on the door to tell Mercedes it was time to head home. When Mercedes had left, Kurt moved from the floor to the bed to continue studying. As soon as he sat down on the bed, Blaine shifted in bed and snuggled close to Kurt. Kurt sat up leaning to the headboard. Blaine moved so he had one arm and one leg slung over Kurt's legs. Kurt smiled down at Blaine and combed his fingers through Blaine's hair before he sighed and kept on reading.


Carole headed upstairs with Blaine's night medicines. She knocked on Kurt's door but when she didn't get an answer she opened the door slowly. On the bed she found two sleeping teens. Kurt slept sitting up with a big book on his lap. Beside him and on top of his legs lay Blaine. Carole's heart swelled at the sight of them. How could anyone look at them with disgust? They were two guys who had been lucky enough to find each other in this small world of Ohio. Nothing about them was wrong. They were in love, and that can never be wrong. She shrugged out of her thoughts.

She removed the book from Kurt's lap. She went around the bed and pulled at Blaine's shoulder so he shifted away from Kurt and faced her instead. She stroked his chin, wrinkled from been pressed against Kurt's jeans leg during sleep. She shook him and called his name.

"Blaine? You need to wake up to take your medicine."

"Mmmmhmmm…"

"Blaine, come on, open your eyes to look at me for a short while."

"Mmm.. Mokay…" Blaine blinked a couple of times before opening them to look at Carole.

"I need the bathroom." He said to her. She smiled and moved so he could go to Kurt's bathroom.

While he was there, she eased Kurt down on the bed and removed his jeans without him waking up. She shook her head – teens with their heavy sleep. Blaine came back out of the bathroom in pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. She smiled at him as he slipped in under the covers. He turned to Kurt, fast asleep.

"Want any help?" He asked Carole in a hushed voice.

"Yeah, with the shirt." Carole said. She had opened all the buttons and was trying to get it off him. Blaine raised Kurt to a sleeping position so Carole could remove it. Kurt stirred a little and mumbled something incoherent but didn't wake up. When he was only in his tank top, Blaine laid him down. He swallowed the medicine Carole had come with.

"Good night Blaine."

"Good night Carole."

Carole turned off the lights and went out of the room. She stopped in the doorway and looked back at the boys. They had shifted towards each other. Blaine had taken Kurt in his arms and nuzzled his hair. She smiled at them before closing the door.

She went downstairs to speak with her husband. She cuddled close to him at the couch and smiled at he put his arms around her and pulled her even closer.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi there." She said back.

"How are the boys?"

"Sleeping."

"Good for them." He said.

"Where's Finn?" She askeed.

"Studying in his room."

"Burt, what's your thoughts about Kurt and Blaine sleeping arrangements?"

"Yeah, I know, we should talk to them about it." Burt sighed.

"But, what are thoughts on it?"

"I don't know really. The thought of Kurt sharing a bed with anyone used to make me see red. But thinking of him sharing his bed upstairs with Blaine just make my heart swell with pride and love."

"Yes, I get that, I feel the same thing."

"I know we said they should sleep in separate beds when Blaine had recovered from this, but I don't feel as strong about that anymore. If they want to do anything, they can do it whenever, I don't feel like we can stop that. We can't do it now, and we couldn't do it even if Blaine didn't live here. They belong together, everyone can see that. I don't know… What do you think about this?"

"The same. I don't think we have anything to gain from keeping them apart right now."

"What about Finn?"

"I'll talk to him, I don't think he has any objections. But I'll talk to him." Carole said.


Friday meant group therapy for Blaine. Kurt woke him up when he left the bed to take a shower. He shook Blaine's shoulders and Blaine woke up and looked at him.

"Hi my love." Blaine said with a thick voice.

"Hi Blainey. It's time to get up and have breakfast." Kurt said.

"I will. First I have another thing on my to do list."

"What?" Kurt said, standing next to the bed, leaning down above Blaine.

Blaine raised his hand and put it on the back of Kurt's head. The other hand he placed on Kurt's arm and pulled him closer to him. Kurt lost his balance and landed on top of Blaine. Blaine took advantage of this and let his legs hook around Kurt's body. Blaine smiled to Kurt before pressing his head, and his lips closer to Blaine's. He kissed him hard and Kurt moaned into his mouth. Blaine was quickly there with his tongue.

"NO!" Kurt said and pulled back.

"What?" Blaine said and released the grip on him.

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Kurt said and flushed.

"I know." Blaine said with a smile. "It's sexy."

"No, it's disgusting."

"Not to me." Blaine said and once again pressed Kurt closer and continued exploring his mouth. Kurt hesitated for a moment before giving in and kissed Blaine back. Blaine flexed his hips up against Kurt and Kurt felt his erection through the cover. This was so hot. Kurt raised himself from Blaine for a short while and removed the covers before he pressed his body against Blaine's. Kurt's body met Blaine's erection and Blaine tossed his head back and moaned. Kurt pressed small kissed on Blaine's jawline. Blaine needed to taste Kurt and placed his hand once again on the back of Kurt's head and pressed Kurt's mouth to his.

"Boys? You awake?" Carole knocked on the door and by that removing all sexual tension between Blaine and Kurt. Kurt sagged against Blaine.

"Yeah, we're awake Carole." Kurt answered her.

"Sorry hon… We just got cockblocked…" Kurt said to Blaine.

Blaine sighed and flexed his hips up to Kurt's body.

"I still have needs…" Blaine whispered.

"Blaine!" Kurt flushed.

"Can I join you in the shower?" Blaine asked.

"What? Blaine! We have never showered together."

"Maybe it's about time?" Blaine said with raised eyebrows.

"Kurt? Blaine? Are you aware of the time?" Burt asked while knocking on the door.

"FUCK!" Kurt said when he turned and looked at the clock at bedside table.

"Sorry?" Burt said from the other side of the closed door.

"Sorry, dad!" Kurt said while scrambling out of bed.

Blaine groaned when Kurt closed the door to the bath room.

"Kuuurt."

"Love you Blainey. I think you can fix your problem on your own."

"I'll be thinking of you!"

"Blaine!" Kurt said.

Blaine grinned, closed his eyes and starting taking care of his problem.


Carole dropped of Blaine at the ward later that morning. She had a lot of shopping to do for the next day. Blaine was greeted by Sarah, "his" nurse.

"Hi Blaine! You're early." She said.

"Yes, Lane and I were planning to eat lunch together before group."

"Oh, how nice. At the ward or at the cafeteria?"

"I didn't know she could leave the ward."

"Oh, well, it's kinda necessary for this weekend right?"

"This weekend?"

"Yeah… I mean, she's going home this weekend. But you can speak to her about it."

"Okay."

They went to the kitchen at the ward where Lane was sipping at a cup of coffee while reading a book. Blaine limped up to her table and sat down. She was engrossed by the book and didn't look up until the coffee cup was empty.

"Blaine!" She exclaimed with surprise.

"Lane!" He exclaimed, with pretend surprise.

"How long have you been sitting there?"

"Five minutes maybe."

"Oh my god! Why didn't you say something?"

"I like watching you read."

"Awwww…"

"Yeah, yeah… Lunch? I've heard you're off watch?"

"I am."

"So, wanna eat at the cafeteria or here?"

"If it's okay I wanna eat here, there are too much people for me at the cafeteria at lunch time. We can go after the group for a coffee if you want?"

"Right, cause I'm so alert after group? I have yet to stay awake during entire meeting. But, sure, we can eat here, no problem at all!"

"Thanks, Blaine."

They got up and retrieved two plates of lunch, today it was soup and toasted sandwiches.

"So, after group, when Carole picks you up, how do you stay awake then?"

"I don't, I walk to the car, fall asleep before or after putting the seat belt on – both have happened. Carole drives us home, wakes me up, I go into my room and sleep until Kurt comes home. He wakes me up, we eat dinner with the family, then it's movie time in the Hummel house, and I fall asleep on the couch. I'm not very social after group therapy."

"Poor thing."

"Ah, it's okay. Hannah says it's pretty normal, so I'm not stressing about it."

"So, how are you doing in the Hummel household? By the way, is it weird living in a family where everyone else have a different name?"

"Finn isn't a Hummel, so I'm not totally alone. But, a while ago, Carole asked me if I wanted to change my name to Hummel, but since then I haven't heard anything about it."

"Have you asked her?"

"No, I don't wanna be nagging about it, maybe they have changed their minds. If so, I have to wait until I'm married, and that's okay too."

"Married? Blaine? Are you seriously thinking of marriage?"

"Not in the sense that I'm going to propose tomorrow, but yeah, I want to marry Kurt."

"Aww, you two… I wish I had a boyfriend like Kurt."

"I wish everyone had a boyfriend like Kurt." Blaine said and smiled to her. "So Sarah let it slip you were going home this weekend, any plans?"

Lane gave him an odd look.

"No, no plans. And you?" She asked after a pause.

"The usual… sleeping, reading, writing in my notebook and making out with Kurt if he has time."

"If he has the time?"

"It's crazy in his school right now."

Lane opened her mouth to answer him but they were interrupted by Sarah standing in the doorway telling them it was time to go to group.


Carole picked up an exhausted Blaine after his group. It was always the same when he had been on group; when they went from the ward to the car Blaine was walking slower and slower, swaying a bit on his feet and didn't say a thing. They got to the car and Blaine sat in the passenger seat falling asleep before he put on the seatbelt. She usually put the crutches in the trunk before opening the passenger door again to buckle the sleeping Blaine. She did the same thing today.

She parked the car at their house and woke up Blaine who sleepily blinked and slowly opened his eyes.

"We're home honey." Carole said to him.

"Mmmm…"

"If you wake up a little bit and move in to the house you can keep sleeping there."

"Mmmm…" Blaine said. He shrugged and unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door. Carole stood outside and handed him the crutches. Blaine started limping inside. The living room was closer to the front door than his room, so he sank down on one of the couches there.

Carole had a lot of bags in the trunk but after a couple of rounds back and forth to the car, she and all her things were inside. She passed the sofa Blaine was on each time but didn't notice him until she was done carrying in her bags and started looking for him. She found him where he had slumped down, sleeping sitting up still with crutches in his hands. Carole shook her head of the sight of him before taking the crutches from him and laying him down on the couch. She put a blanket over him.

"Thanks Carole, I love you." He mumbled. Carole's heart swelled from this. She leaned down and ruffled his hair.

"I love you too sweetie." She told him, her heart swelling with pride and love for her newest son.
