Blaine burst into the waiting room of Lima General Hospital. He was greeted by Burt, whose strong embrace kept Blaine from bursting through the double doors that separated him and Kurt. "Is he okay?" Blaine asked frantically, tears prickling in his eyes. Carole approached him and gently rubbed his back.
"Honey, it was his appendix. They're taking it out now," she said sadly. Blaine froze. Kurt hated hospitals, doctors, and needles. He must have been so scared! It was NYADA's spring break this week and they were both so excited to be able to spend a whole week together. After a whole day of Kurt not texting him back, he knew something was up. His fears were confirmed when Burt called him saying Kurt was really sick and that they were taking him to the hospital. Blaine sat down in one of the cold, plastic chairs and did the only thing he could do: wait. About an hour later, a surgeon came out of the double doors.
"Kurt Hummel's family?" he asked. They all nodded. "The surgery went very well. You can all go back and see him now. He's a little drowsy and sore, but he's going to be fine." Everyone thanked him and they were whisked through the double doors and back to Kurt, who was now in his own hospital room, sound asleep, surrounded by beeping machines and monitors. He looked so helpless, and Blaine just wanted to hold him, to take away his pain.
"Blaine should be here when he wakes up. I think it would make him feel a lot better," Carole said. Everyone agreed and they left Blaine alone with Kurt. He sat down in the chair next to his bed and took his hand. A few minutes later, Kurt stirred. He cracked his eyes open and squinted at the bright fluorescent lights. Blaine smiled down at him.
"Blaine?" he asked. His voice was hoarse.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm right here," Blaine said, smoothing Kurt's hair away from his forehead.
"I'm sorry I didn't respond to your texts all day," Kurt said sadly. Blaine's heart broke.
"Don't worry about it. Just focus on getting better," Blaine said.
"Don't leave me," Kurt said, tears in his eyes.
"Never." Blaine leaned down and kissed him gently on the forehead. Kurt's eyes closed again and Blaine smiled. He was so happy Kurt was okay.
