Chapter 22

"Everything is going to be okay," Blaine said softly as he parked the car outside the local doctor's office. "I know you liked Dr. Phillips but he's the hospital psychiatrist, and he thinks you're ready to talk to someone else now." Kurt looked at his hands. He had gotten the refferal letter last week, if he was going to go on medication he would need to see his local doctor. Kurt didn't want to see someone else, he felt comfortable around Dr. Phillips. "And remember..."

"Hot chocolate and a cookie after." Kurt whispered. "I wish my dad was here."

"I know you do." Blaine squeezed Kurt's knee softly. "He wishes he was here too."

"Work always comes first with him." Kurt muttered. His father had all been set to come with them to the doctor, he had promised to take them out for lunch after, but then the phone rang and there had been an emergency at work.

"Do you want to know what I think?" Blaine said, he looked at the clock and saw they still had twenty minutes before they had to go inside. Kurt shrugged. "I think that your dad is scared."

"What's he got to be scared of? I'm the one that's being medicated." Kurt snapped. Blaine hated how Kurt was talking, he knew he had had a rough couple of days. He had been weaned off the pain medication which meant the voice had been creeping back. Blaine knew exactly when it had happened; Blaine had been helping Kurt with a particularly tricky Math question and Kurt had flipped out. That had been three days ago and it seemed Kurt had been in a bad mood ever since.

"Exactly. You're his only child, you're his world, and he's making up for everything that he has done wrong, and he's trying Kurt. He's really trying. And now you're going through something that he can't help you with. He's scared, he's scared of losing you and he's scared of you not needing him." Blaine's stern voice made Kurt stop picking at his cast and look up at him. Blaine was staring at him with such fire in his eyes, trying to make sure that what he had to say was getting through. It was and Kurt sighed.

"I'm scared too," Kurt finally said. "I just...I need him here, and i want to cuddle him, because when i was younger all he had to do was cuddle me and everything was okay." Kurt wiped his eyes roughly. He wasn't going to cry in front of Blaine. Surely he had done too much of that already.

"I wish i could be more help." Blaine said softly. "I know I'm not your dad, but i give pretty good cuddles too..." Kurt looked up at him and smiled softly before climbing over the seat and wrapping himself in Blaine. Blaine smiled and held Kurt tighter. "It's going to be okay, you know. These medications, they will make the voice stop. And you can finally be free."

"I can?" Kurt whispered, the voice was screaming in his head that that would never happen. Kurt hated that he believed the voice more than he believed Blaine.

"You can." Blaine squeezed Kurt lightly and relaxed when he felt Kurt calm down against him. "Now, shall we go in? Then we can go anywhere you want for lunch okay?"

"Okay." Kurt nodded. "Blaine..."

"Hmm?" Blaine smiled as he tried to undo his seat belt with Kurt still around him.

"Thank you." Kurt leaned in and went to press his lips against Blaine's cheek, only Blaine hadn't realised and turned to move Kurt away from him so he could get up, but his lips met Kurt's as he pressed forward. Kurt didn't move, and neither did Blaine. they just stayed close together, lips brushing against each others before Blaine realised just what had happened and pulled away. He stroked Kurt's cheek softly and pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"Nothing to thank me for." Blaine breathed, he pulled Kurt out of the car and led him into the doctor's office. Blaine signed them in and sat with a blushing Kurt.

Kurt couldn't believe that he had kissed Blaine. It wasn't supposed to have happened, but now he couldn't stop thinking about how soft Blaine's lips were. They had been soft and slow, and even though they didn't really move back against him. Kurt could imagine what it would have felt like if they had.

"Kurt Hummel." Kurt jumped when he heard his name being called. He wasn't ready. He looked at Blaine who just smiled softly. "Would you like to come this way?"

"Will you come with me?" Kurt whispered. He couldn't go in on his own.

"I'll walk in with you." Blaine nodded and stood up with him. He placed a hand on Kurt's good arm and led him through. "He's a little scared to come in on his own, is it okay if i sit with him until he's comfortable?"

"Of course." The doctor smiled. Kurt looked down and shuffled into the room slowly, he looked at the chairs and pulled the second one closer and looked at Blaine to sit down. The older man sat down and Kurt sat beside him, his thighs pressing against Blaine's. He felt comfortable now, safe. "My name is Michelle."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Blaine and this is Kurt." Blaine said, it seemed Kurt had lost his voice. "He was doing really well talking to Dr. Phillips. I think this has thrown him a little."

"I understand," Michelle smiled. "One of the reasons why you were referred to me, is because Dr. Phillips is going away on sabbatical and he wanted to make sure you had someone to talk to if you needed it. Also, I have dealt with a lot of young people and the issues you have Kurt."

"Did they get better?" Kurt whispered, looking up at her slowly.

"They did." She said and that calmed down Kurt. "Would you like your friend to stay while we talk?"

"Yes." Kurt said straight away. He didn't think he could do this now without Blaine. "Please."

"Okay," She smiled. "I've been reading through your notes, and i know you were on some pain medication. Dr. Phillips told me that they were making the voice quiet, and since you've stopped taking them how has it been?"

"It's louder." Kurt mumbled. "Meaner. It doesn't want me to get better." Blaine looked down, Kurt hadn't mentioned it getting louder. He sat wondering what else Kurt hadn't said.

"Well the medication should help quiet it down. But then we will talk weekly about why the voice came in the first place, what do you think about that?"

"If it helps." Kurt mumbled. "Just want to be normal."

"You are normal." The doctor insisted, and Blaine nodded too. Kurt was normal and perfect, why couldn't he see that? Kurt just shrugged and looked away from them both. Blaine hated seeing him like that. So weak. So vulnerable.

"The medication you take before you go to sleep, they can make you feel drowsy so that's why." She nodded. "They're not the strongest, but i just want to see how they work for you. In a couple If months, you still feel like the voice is there, then we will up the dose."

"Are there any side effects?" Blaine asked.

"Nausea, headaches, mostly." The doctor said watching Kurt closely. Blaine could tell that Kurt was listening, he just wasn't looking at them.

"Okay, and he'll be okay on them? He's supposed to be going back to school next week."

"I think he should be okay." The doctor said softly. "If he doesn't seem up to it, don't force him."

"I won't." Blaine said strongly, he would never force Kurt to do anything he didn't want to.

"I think that's all for today. It was just an introduction meeting, and i can see that Kurt isn't up for talking to me today, maybe next time?" Blaine was glad when he saw Kurt nod slowly. "Here are the pills, start them tonight and if you need me don't hesitate to call me okay?" Kurt nodded again and Blaine took the bottle of pills and stood up. Kurt followed suit quickly and walked out, both thanking Michelle.

"She was nice." Blaine said softly looking at Kurt who shrugged. "You okay?"

"I'm...I'm okay." Kurt whispered, looking up at Blaine. "I'm just...I thought i would always have the voice in my head. I thought it would be my only friend, and now i know it's going to go, i feel...i feel better. But overwhelmed."

"That's understandable." Blaine said softly. "If you ever want to talk, I'm here."

"I know." Kurt smiled. "Thank you."

Blaine opened the door and grinned when he saw Burt standing there, he had a box in his hands and was looking at Kurt nervously. "Dad?" Kurt smiled when he saw them.

"I got here just as you went in and I didn't want to disturb you." Burt said as they walked closer.

"You came." Kurt breathed, wrapping his arms around Burt taking his dad by surprise. It had been a while since Kurt had initiated contact like that with him.

"I did." Burt nodded. "I got this for you."

"What is it?" Kurt asked taking the box. Burt rolled his eyes and told Kurt to open it. Kurt opened it and gasped when he saw the expensive sweater he had been staring at in his catalogue for the past month. "you..."

"I thought you deserved something nice. Even if it did cost more than a months wage i give the boys at the shop." Kurt grinned and wrapped his dad in another hug.

"Thank you." Kurt smiled.

"You deserve it kiddo. I'm so proud of you." Burt said, kissing his son's head. "Now, shall we go to lunch?"

"I'm going to leave you two..." Blaine said, he didn't want to intrude on them, but Kurt just grabbed his arm and led him out.

"You're not leaving. You promised hot chocolate and a cookie." Kurt pouted and Blaine just chuckled.

"I just thought you guys wanted some family time." Blaine said gently.

"Listen, kid." Burt said and Blaine thought he was talking to Kurt, but when he looked at the older man, he was staring directly at him. "After everything you've done to help Kurt, and me." Burt said softly. "You are family." Blaine didn't know what to say, he had never really felt part of his own family, they just cared more about looks and what impressions they were giving other people. But he felt like he belonged now. He looked at Kurt who was grinning at him, he looked happy and Blaine smiled back at him. "Now, where are we going for lunch?" Burt smiled as they got in the car.
