A few weeks after the shooting, it seemed as though everything had gone back to normal, but better. Blaine and his father had virtually gone back to their own relationship. He had even come to accept him and Kurt as a couple. They even had dinner at Blaine's father's house. Now all that they had to worry about was the intern exam that was tomorrow. Kurt, Blaine, Rachel, Sam, and Santana were all at the apartment for a final study session.
"God, my brain is going to explode. I can't study anymore." Santana complained.
"Me either." Rachel complained as she stood up and then nestled herself into Sam's side.
"Come on guys, we all have to study. We only have a few hours left." Kurt insisted.
"If we don't get some sleep, we're not going to do very well because we'll pass out during the test." Santana retorted.
"Come on babe, let's just take a small break." Blaine said.
"Fine." Kurt told him as he cuddled into Blaine's chest.
"So, let's just talk for a while." Sam said. "We all work together and know like nothing about each other. What was your guy's favorite case this year?" he asked.
"I loved treating the old man getting open heart surgery with Kurt." Rachel said. "He and his wife were so sweet."
"For me, it was my first patient, Steven." Kurt said. "He was a mystery and the first case that made me feel like a real doctor."
"I treated this really cool guy with brain cancer." Sam said. "He passed away, but he was a really good guy."
"Wow, that's super morbid. I helped Dr. Hart deliver a baby whose organs were in a sac outside of it's body and then put them back in." Santana said. "Coolest surgery ever."
"For me, it was my dad's surgery." Blaine said. "I know that was a really bad thing that happened, but it brought my dad and I back together. I don't think that ever would have happened without the gunshot."
"Well, regardless what we've been through this year." Kurt began. "We made it to the end and we're all going to make it to our residency. Now, I think it's time to head to sleep. We have a big test in the morning." The others nodded and then went to bed. Santana didn't want to go home, so she crashed on the couch while Sam slept in Rachel's room.
Blaine and Kurt snuggled together in bed. "Are you nervous?" Blaine asked him.
"No, I think I'm ready." Kurt said. "Are you nervous?"
"No." Blaine said. "I'm just happy. Let's go to sleep, okay." Kurt nodded and together they fell asleep. The next morning, all five of the interns got up and drove to the hospital. They were corralled into a conference room where desks were set up. Each one had a test with there name printed on it. They took their seats and then the proctor came into the room.
"There are four parts to this test. You will have four hours to complete them starting now." he said. Then, the test began. Each moment was stressful and pushed their brains to the limit, but when it was over, they were all relieve. They had done it. Now, all they could do was wait.
"Your test results will be sent to you by email later tonight." The proctor told them all before leaving the room.
"How do you think you did?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"Good. And you?" Blaine replied.
"Good." Kurt replied. "So, we have a few hours to kill. What do you want to do?"
"I know something fun that we can do." Blaine said with a smirk. He grabbed Kurt's hand and led him to the supply closet, the closet where Santana had first them together.
"Wow so romantic." Kurt laughed as he kissed Blaine. They began to make out and instantly it felt like the very first time they had been together. It was like nothing but each other mattered. After they had finished, Kurt and Blaine went to a nearby bar with Sam, Rachel, and Santana. Around nine o'clock, a ding on each of their phones went off. It was the results.
"Okay, let's do it all together." Rachel said. They nodded and grabbed their phones and opened the email. "I passed!" Rachel shouted and a chorus of four "me too's!" escape the other interns...no residents lips. It was official. They had finished intern year and were finally residents. In a way, it was the end, but it was also only the beginning.
two months later...day 1 of residency
Kurt came up to Blaine at the nurse station. "Let me guess...paperwork?" he laughed.
"Yeah… god my interns are stupid." Blaine told him. "Were we this stupid?"
"No way." Kurt laughed. "Want something to take your mind off of them?" he asked.
"With you...anything." Blaine replied before taking Kurt's hand and escaping to the nearest on-call room. It's funny. Even though they were out in the open as a couple, it seemed as though their romance would always flourish best in the shadows of supply closets and on-call rooms, but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. Sometimes having an on-call romance was just as good as a regular one. In fact, to Kurt and Blaine, it was better.
