"I can't take it anymore!" Blaine yelled. It was Kurt's first Sunday night home from NYADA on summer break. Blaine had gone over to Kurt's house for dinner, but had brought his homework with him. It was mid May, so Blaine was just finishing up his senior year, which meant exam after project after portfolio.
"You need to calm down. Stressing out isn't going to help," Kurt soothed.
"I don't know how people graduate! Do they not sleep?" Blaine asked, a manic look coming to his eye. Kurt gently took the biology book and large stack of note cards from Blaine's scrunched up fists.
"When was the last time you took a nap?" Kurt asked.
"Kurt, there's no time for naps! Give me my book back! My bio exam is on Tuesday!" Blaine whined.
"If you're exhausted, you're never going to retain anything." Kurt put the book and the note cards on the floor. "Lay down," Kurt ordered. Blaine rolled his eyes and laid down on Kurt's bed.
"Okay I'm laying down," Blaine said. Kurt pulled a candle and a lighter out of his bedside table drawer and lit it with the lighter.
"It's vanilla. It's soothing. It always helps me fall asleep," Kurt said. "Now, I want you to just relax. Clear your mind." Kurt laid down next to Blaine, but he propped himself up on his elbow so he could see Blaine's face. "Close your eyes," Kurt whispered. Blaine smiled sleepily and Kurt's fingers intertwined with Blaine's curls. "I love you. Get some sleep," Kurt whispered.
"I love you too" Blaine replied quietly. It took only a few minutes for Blaine to drift off peacefully, and for Kurt to eventually flop down with his head on Blaine's shoulder and sleep with him.
