Kurt leaves his fathers hospital room after ten minutes with his words still lingering in his mind.
«Go home, kid. I'll be fine, you heard the doctor.» Before he is out, Burt is asleep.
One of the nurses stops him in the corridor
«We will contact you if there are any changes for the worse, but that is very unlikely. Go home, your father will probably be sleeping until tomorrow. You look like you could need some rest too.» She smiles reassuringly and walks away.
Kurt finds Blaine in the waiting room, exactly where he said he would be. Blaine hasn't noticed Kurt's presence yet, and Kurt looks at him. He hasn't looked at Blaine for so long and now he can feel how much he really miss that. Because Blaine is so beautiful. But Blaine looks sad and pale and tired. But he is still beautiful.
«Eh….Hi..» It is awkward now. Because now Kurt can think again, not just act, like he did before. He probably looks like a mess and he is worried about what Blaine will do now that his dad is going to be ok. Maybe he will just leave. Kurt doesn't want that anymore because, he really misses Blaine, or B. And even if their relationship wasn't like any other relationship, and they didn't actually talk face to face more than once, Blaine was someone that said nice things, and stood by Kurt even before they met. And he is here today. As soon as Kurt called he drove to the hospital. Maybe it was real, all the things he said. Kurt can see that now, but he doesn't know how to express that.
«Oh, hey, Kurt. How was your dad?»
«He will be fine, but he is asleep now, so I can go home and come back tomorrow.»
«Ok, thats good» Blaine gets up and they walk in silence down the corridor. When they exits the main door of the hospital, Blaine stops and take a look at Kurt before he looks down on the ground.
«So…» Blaine starts, and then Kurt realizes something.
«I-I don't have a car….I came in the ambulance with my dad.»
«I'll drive you home. Come on my car is right over there» Blaine points towards the left end of the car park.
The drive home was silent. That helps Kurt to sort out his thoughts. There is always to much of them. What if? Should I? I can't. How do I? But he can feel that his body is relaxing more and that always helps. Kurt is grateful that Blaine seems to appreciate the silence too. It doesn't feel so awkward anymore.
Blaine stops the car in the Hummel's driveway, and he turns to look at Kurt.
«Will you be ok, Kurt?»
«I don't know» That was the truth, because Kurt doesn't know. He can fell the tears threatening to fall again. And he is struggling to keep them back.
«D-do you want me to stay?»
«No…I mean maybe…I…Please stay?» He whispers, just like Blaine did the day he broke down in the bathroom.
«Of course I will stay. For as long as you want me to.»
They enter the house and Kurt feels kind of lost in his own home. His father has always been there in the house, even when Kurt buried himself in his room and hardly talked to him. That is the way it has been lately. Kurt in his room, and Burt in the living room or the kitchen. But he was there, and Kurt knew that. Now he isn't. Even if the doctor assured him that his dad will be ok, he is not here and Kurt feels lost.
«Are you hungry?» Blaine voice breaks into Kurt's thoughts and he looks at him. «I can order something for us. Pizza maybe?»
«Ok, but can you please stay…I-I don't want to be alone.»
«I said I was going to stay, and I am staying for as long as you would like me to. Even if that means for a week or just for an hour. You don't have to ask, just tell me when you are ready for me to leave.» Blaine answers and he looks Kurt right in the eyes when he does.
«Oh…» Kurt can feel himself blush. «So…pizza then?»
