Song: I Want To Hold Your Hand – Glee Cast

Date: 27.05.12

A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!

Kurt strode into the empty apartment, kicking off his shoes and placing the pile of books he was carrying on the coffee table, leaving them balancing precariously. It was dark and cold inside the apartment, the effect only added to by the raindrops pounding against the window. Rachel was still at work.

It had been one of those days where everything had gone wrong. After forgetting to set his alarm clock the previous night, he had been late to his first class. This had acted as a trigger to his entire day; he'd forgotten an umbrella, his assignment that was due in, his metro card… the list went on.

And the last thing he wanted to do right now was sat on the coffee table, staring him in the face; a song to learn for tomorrow. He had been complaining to Rachel earlier, but being her usual unhelpful self, she had suggested something about letting your emotions out through song. Kurt wanted a break. He wanted a hot drink and a blanket and a Disney movie. No, scrap that. He wanted Blaine.

But Blaine was over 500 miles away in Glee club practice.

Kurt tried to push this fact out of mind. He didn't want to think about it. Instead, he focused his attention on the song in front of him. But the notes wouldn't stay still; they were swimming across the page and getting mixed up, distorted by the tears that were forming in his eyes.

He'd just managed to crack the first line when the doorbell rang. A quick glance at the top told him it wasn't Rachel; she was still on her shift at the coffee shop. It could be the super… probably coming to tell him that there was a gas leak, it sounded like something that could happen today. Kurt dragged himself to the front door to answer it.

"Look, unless it's life threatening-" Kurt began.

"Hi."

Kurt looked up at the figure stood in his doorway. The bow tie clad, curly haired figure stood in his doorway.

"Blaine?"

"Kurt!" Kurt ran into Blaine's arms, nearly knocking the shorter boy over.

"What are you doing here?" Kurt asked; delighted to see him but curious as to why he was here.

"Rachel said you were having a bad day."

"Rachel?"

"Yeah, she text me earlier," Blaine explained.

"She told you to come?"

"No, that was my idea."

"You skipped school to come and comfort me?" Kurt asked again.

"I suppose so... besides, Mr. Schue understood."

Kurt felt immediately guilty, and Blaine sensed it. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked.

"I just can't believe you came all this way for me."

Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand. "You're worth it."

I couldn't think of a better way to end this, I am sorry it sounds like a bad L'Oreal advert.
