Kurt had never seen it rain so hard.
"Turn the TV on. Maybe the Weather Channel is saying something about this weather," Blaine said.
Kurt turned on the TV and, just as Blaine thought, the weather man was pointing to a map of Ohio with big, multicolored blips on it.
"Record rainfalls have been recorded all over Ohio today," the weather man said.
Thunder boomed loudly outside and Kurt jumped.
Blaine laughed. "Are you alright?" he asked as he put his arm around Kurt.
"I'm fine," Kurt replied. "This storm is just so crazy."
"Flood warnings have been issued for all of Lima County," the weather man said.
"Well that's wonderful," Blaine said. "I better get going if I want to get home before it's a complete washout."
"Are you insane? You're staying right here," Kurt said.
"Kurt, I'll be alright," Blaine said. He put his forehead up to Kurt's and smiled, but Kurt stood up and started to pace nervously.
"You don't know what the roads are like between here and your house already! Let alone what they'll be like between now and the time you get home!" Kurt yelled.
"Are you sure it's alright that I stay here?" Blaine asked.
As if right on cue, Carole walked into the room. "Blaine, I was just coming to tell you that I insist you stay here until the weather calms down. So you can stay here tonight," she said.
"Well, I can't argue with the both of you, so I guess I'm staying," Blaine said, laughing.
"Good. Would you boys like some cocoa?" Carole asked.
"Yes, please," Blaine replied.
Once Carole had given them their cocoa and had gone across the street to check on an elderly neighbor, Blaine put his arm around Kurt again. "See? I'm staying right here," Blaine said quietly.
"Good. I just didn't want you to get hurt," Kurt said.
"I know. And thank you for caring," Blaine said. They both quietly sipped their cocoa and listened to the storm drone on.
