"The Hummel Clan"
A step forward
(Blaine POV)
"Can you stop pacing!" I snap and Gabe freezes midstep.
"I can't help it, okay. The psychologist has been her all week and specifically three hours in there today so excuse me for being nervous" he sighs and sits down "Whatever she wants to discuss today is going to be bad news and I seriously don't want any bad news right now"
"That makes two of us" I reply and I hold our breath when the door opens but exhale when I see that it's only Burt.
"How long has she been in there today?" he asks as he moves to the right side of the room to get some scotch.
"Almost three hours"
"Damn that's not good" he sighs and sits heavily on the couch next to Gabe and me.
Silence reins the room, all lost in thought and fidgeting.
"Guys" Kim whispers and pokes her head in the room.
"Yeah?" I ask and stand immediately.
"I need you all to follow me" she says and leaves the room, all of us at her heels. "It's taken some work but I convinced Kurt to have you guys present so that you could hear the diagnosis and perhaps get him to say more than a word every damn hour" she looks at us before opening the door to Kurt's room.
"Hey Kurt, the guys are here so we can continue" she begins and we all sit around the room, I take the seat next to his bed but sit on my hands to keep from reaching forward and taking hold of his hand; I've learnt not to do that the hard way. "As you all know Kurt can't stand touch right now and I'm afraid that will take a lot of work, you can't just expect him to be fine with it after all he's been through but we've found a common ground and I believe that by the end of the month he'll be less shaky. Speech is another thing, he's speaking now but very little, sure the twins know sign language but that isn't a solution" Kim pauses and looks around the room to see if it's all clear. "Kurt?"
No answer, he just turns his head towards her and blinks "Do you think that having your family and friends here will help with our sessions?" she asks and a shake answers her "Why not?" rapid hand movements.
"What did he just say?" asks Jeff before I can get a chance.
"He said he isn't comfortable with all of you seeing him like this" Gabe offers before signing something back and smiling at the reply "He wants all of us out"
Why the hell where you smiling about Gabe he doesn't want us here. I think as I stand to leave with the rest of the guys.
"Blaine" Gabe takes hold of my arm "He wants all of us out, except you" he smiles and leans down to whisper in my ear "Get him talking Blaine, if anyone can make him feel safe and loved enough to break the shell he's formed around him, it's you so do me proud" he grins, waves and runs out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
I take a deep breath and turn back to Kurt "Hey" I smile and sit back down to wait for an answer.
I'm about to give up after what feels like hours of deafening silence when a small "Hey" is heard; a grin splits my face.
"Oh my God, Kurt" I laugh and pull my chair closer "How are you? Are you in pain? What happened? Do you need anything? Babe I was so, so scared and I couldn't find you and then Gabe was like-" a hand over my mouth cuts me off. I look up to see Kurt smiling at me.
"Blaine, shut up" he says, his voice raspy form lack of use "I'm not in pain and I the only thing I need is for you to hold me right now" at my skeptical look he continues "I know I freaked the other day you held my hand but you have to understand Blaine, I'm scared all the time and you spooked me by taking my hand so suddenly after waking up but I've had a few days to calm down and I trust and love you enough to know you would never, ever hurt me so please just come here and hold me" he pleads and I scamper to do as he asks.
"OH God, I missed you" I say as soon as he's in my arms "I love you and I promise I'll help you through this, we all will if you'll let us, you're safe now and we'll make damn sure it stays that way. The bastards who did this will pay Kurt but for now only you matter, getting better is all that matters, your body needs a lot of healing and so does your mind so let us help you, let me help you, let me in babe" I say and pull him closer when he begins to sob.
"I don't want you to see me like this Blaine" he sobs "I don't want you to see me this weak and broken, they broke me Blaine and you deserve better than this, you deserve a boyfriend that doesn't flinch when you take his hand without telling him first, someone that isn't as fucked up as I am now" he screams into my chest.
"Don't" I stop him from saying anything else "Kurt look at me" when he refuses I pull back slightly and take hold of his chin to make him look at me "I love you, I love you with all my heart and I don't care if you flinch, I expected no less from someone that was tortured for a month, this is how you're supposed to be after what you went through, I'd be scared if you weren't so stop pushing me away and let me in. I'm not going anywhere Kurt, you can bitch and scream and try to hurt me but at the end of the day I'll always be here because I love you and want you to get better" more tears slip from his eyes and I pull him into a hug, taking great care of his injuries.
"I can't talk in front of them Blaine nor can I touch them as I do with you, I feel safe here with you but with the other warblers it's another thing, they're just…."
"Bug, strong boys who could over power you in your current state and hurt you?" I offer and smile sadly when he nods. "It's fine as long as you speak with me and Gabe, your dad and specially Kim, she's helping and she's the only way we can put all of this behind us safely"
"Okay" he whispers before shifting in my arms si that we're lying down comfortably "Can we change the subject now, I've been away for almost two months and I want to cuddle and talk about you for a while" he grins and settles down.
