«Thank you for coming with me to the hospital» Kurt is driving his car while Blaine sits beside him.
«You don't have to thank me.» After they got home from Blaine's house they just relaxed, watched some tv and became comfortable around each other again.
«I don't like hospitals, even though I know that my dad is going to be ok, I just feel very uncomfortable there.»
«I know how you feel. I haven't actually got any good memories from hospitals either. But we will do this together and maybe we can change the bad memories we got into something better.» Kurt smiles at Blaine and wonders how lucky he was to find him when he did. Blaine can't be real. Maybe this is some kind of dream that he will wake up from any moment.
«Hey, where did you go?» Kurt hears Blaine's voice
«What..?»
«You kind of fell out of the conversation»
«Oh…I was just thinking…»
«About anything particular?»
«You…»
«Oh…» Blaine blushes. Kurt cant help but to think how cute he is when he does that.
«I kind of do that a lot»
«Thinking?»
«Yes…»
«About me?»
«Yes…»
«Oh…» Was all Blaine was able to say, still blushing. Kurt smiles satisfied, looking at the road in front of him. For once he got the upper hand, and it feels good to be this comfortable with Blaine.
They arrive at the hospital just in time for the visiting hours. The walk towards the room where Burt is and Kurt looks at Blaine.
«Are you sure you don't want to come inside to say hallo?»
«I think you need some time alone with your dad. Maybe later?»
«Ok, but are you sure you'll be ok out here alone» Kurt is worried about Blaine's memories of hospitals and how he is really coping.
«Yes, I'll be fine. I know you are in there, happy, healthy and alive waiting for me, and that helps.» He nods to the door and smiles. Kurt gives him a smile in return and enters the room where his father is lying in bed.
«Hi, dad!» Kurt is still smiling when he sees his dad. He looks much better and is not so pale anymore. «Are you feeling ok?»
«Hey, kiddo!» Burt answers looking at his son. «Still tired and still got a headache, but not so dizzy anymore. But Dr. Phillips says I have stay for one more night.»
«But then you can come home?»
«Yes, then I can come home.»
«I thought I lost you…» Kurt swallows and looks at his dad.
«I won't go that easily, Kurt. But I'm sorry I scared you.»
Burt is still looking at his son. There is something different with him. He can see something has changed in his eyes. In his posture too. Like he's not trying to blend in with the things around him anymore. It is like Kurt is really there, his son, that has been gone for him for so long is slowly coming back.
«He is back, isn't he?» Burt asked, still looking at Kurt, trying to read him.
«What..? Who..?» Kurt is confused.
«That boy who slept on the couch and came to the door, while you were pretending to be sick»
«Eh…» Kurt doesn't know how to respond to that.
«I am right, aren't I?» Burt still looks at his son, now with a knowing look. Kurt just nods and looks at anything but his father, his skin is turning red, not for the first time that day.
«Good» But says and smiles. Kurt relaxes and smiles too.
«Is he here with you?»
«Yes»
«Bring him in, I want to talk to him!» Kurt walks towards the door and motions for Blaine to come in to see his dad. He is little bit scared of what his father might be up to.
When Blaine is inside Burt says:
«Kurt, I want you to go to the cafeteria and get us some coffee.» Kurt can see that Blaine stiffens beside him.
«But…» Burt interrupts him before ha can protest.
«I'm not going to hurt him, Kurt. I'm the one tied to a hospital bed, remember? Off you go, I want to talk to him alone!» Kurt tries to say something, but nothing comes out, and he sighs, looks at Blaine and leaves the room. Blaine looks scared and uncomfortable.
«Hello, Blake, right? Get over here. I don't bite»
Eh..hi, sir. M-My name is Blaine. Nice to see you again. Hope you feel better soon.» Blaine holds out a shaking hand for Burt to take. Burt takes Blaine's hand and looks at him for a while. The silence is not doing anything good for Blaine's nerves.
«Thank you!» Burt says and Blaine is more confused. He looks at Burt.
«Eh..what?»
«Thank you for bringing my boy back!» Burt smiles kindly and grateful at Blaine.
«I don't know what you are talking about, Mr. Hummel»
«You found Kurt, and brought him back. He has been so lost for so long, and now he is coming back, and I now you had something to do with it.»
«Kurt found me too» Blaine answers and he is blushing and he doesn't know where to look.
«You really like Kurt, don't you?» Burt asks but he already knows the answer.
«Yes, sir…» Blaine whispers.
«I can see he really likes you too, Blaine. And please call me Burt.» Burt doesn't seem so scary anymore and Blaine soon finds himself having a proper conversation with him. Burt is a really great guy and a wonderful father.
When Kurt arrives back at the hospital room, he is surprised to find his dad and Blaine engaged in a conversation about football. They both look comfortable and relaxed and doesn't notice Kurt's presences at first. He smiles, he likes this picture.
«Your coffee is here» Kurt walks in and hand them the coffee.
«Oh…»Burt says. «I think my medication is kicking in. I'm very sleepy….I think you to should get going.»
«Ok, dad. Are you sure you are ok? Should I call for a nurse?» Kurt looks at his father with worry in his eyes.
«No, I'm just tired.» Blaine stands up and take one of the coffee cups from Kurt and puts it on the nightstand besides Burt's bed.
«It was nice meeting you, Mr Hummel…I mean Burt» Blaine says.
«You to Blaine» Kurt moves towards his dad and gives him a hug.
«Talk to you tomorrow then. Goodbye, dad.»
«Bye, Kurt. I love you, and I would love for you to bring your boyfriend home for dinner anytime soon.» Kurt gasps and Blaine stiffens again.
«I…we….I…» Kurt stutters. Burt is secretly enjoying this.
«Just say yes, Kurt. And now I have to sleep. See you tomorrow!»
«Yes…» Kurt whispers. So much for getting comfortable with Blaine. They walk out in silence, a weird atmosphere surrounding them. Kurt is once again panicking inside. And Blaine doesn't say anything to comfort Kurt this just stares straight ahead. Kurt cant help but think that Blaine spent much more time with his dad than he did. And what did his father say, what did he do. Did he scare Blaine away and what if….
