On Thursday Kurt is allowed to stand up. For now he only makes little trips to the toilet. He's allowed to walk around, for now maybe with a little support, but he wants to wait until Blaine is here so they can do it together. Rachel and Santana excused themselves for today because they have something else to do. In other words they want to give Kurt and Blaine some time alone.
The curly haired man enters Kurts room around four in the afternoon, finding the later asleep. The laptop sits on his lap and a sitcom is still playing. Blaine smiles at the sight and quietly puts down his bag before he kisses his boyfriend on the forehead, waking him up gently.
"Hey sweetheart" he greets when Kurt opens his eyes. "Hey" the other man answers with a smile "I've been waiting for you". "I can see that" Blaine laughs. He laughs even more when the other man pouts "Yes I have. I just sort of fell asleep". "It's okay. You should rest" the curly haired man answers and kisses his boyfriend.
"So. What's new?" Blaine asks, sitting down on the edge of Kurts bed. It feels good to see Kurt in his own clothes again, instead of the hospital gown. "I'm allowed to stand up and walk since this morning. I can make it to the bathroom on my own and with a little help further than that" Kurt tells and a wide smile immediately spreads on his boyfriends face "Sweetheart that's amazing. You're doing so well". "How about you and I go down and sit down in the cafeteria or maybe we find a spot outside?" the younger man proposes.
Slowly but surely the couple goes down the hallway to the elevator. A luxury he won't have at home. There he'll have to get to the fifth floor but with some time and Blaine by his side he's sure he'll manage. Downstairs the couple goes to the cafeteria and is lucky enough to find a table outside.
"We used to go to the cafeteria with my mom back then. To get her out of her room and because the coffee and food is better. At some point she was too weak to leave the room anymore" Kurt tells while they both drink their coffee "I think at one point she got sick of the room. I mean I'm sick of it after 24 hours. But she never stopped smiling".
"One more day and then you're back in your room. But please don't get sick of your own room because you're in no place to redecorate" Blaine says and manages to make the other man laugh too. "You know, I'm glad that dad comes at the weekend. He dislikes hospitals just as much and I don't want to do that to him" the chestnut haired man adds and Blaine nods. He can imagine. He doesn't like hospitals either.
Even after their coffee the couple stays downstairs a bit longer. They go to a bench and talk about everything and nothing. While they walk around a bit they talk about how Blaine feels again. After another break on a bench near the entry the couple goes inside again. Due to the fresh summer evening breeze Kurt feels a little chilly in just a shirt. It's getting late anyway so Blaine brings Kurt back to bed, they should bring dinner soon, and says goodbye before going home himself.
Blaine packs a bag at home with stuff he needs for times he stays at Kurts so he doesn't need to go home every time he sleeps over because he needs something. Then he cooks dinner and calls Marisol. Not because they need to talk about class but for pure enjoyment. He also offers Burt to pick him up from the airport on Saturday because around that time Rachel and Santana are home so Kurt isn't alone at home.
When Burt has to go home on Monday noon Kurt has to get used to being alone at home anyway. He, Rachel and Santana are at NYADA around that time. But they always have their phone close so one call in the group they made is enough and one of them comes to help.
That night Blaine calls Kurt again. They talk for a while about the most random topics to distract Blaine. After a bit of talking Blaine gets comfortable in bed again and Kurt sings him to sleep again with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. He wishes the sleeping Blaine a goodnight and ends the call.
Blaine can't wait until he can end his last class so he can pick Kurt up. He wishes his students an enjoyable weekend and reminds them to yes practice but also rest. He also waves Santana and Rachel before he packs his bag and closes the door after the last students left.
At the hospital he finds Kurt packing his bag when he enters. "Wait. Let me help you" he says and takes the bag out of his boyfriends hand. "Hi sweetheart" he then adds and kisses his boyfriend softly. "Hey" Kurt answers. "Could you get me the two pants from the bottom shelf? I think I can manage the last bit" he then says.
He stands on his feet and still has a healthy hand and he can't let other people do everything for him because from Monday on he has to do stuff by himself too. "Sure" Blaine nods understanding and puts the pants in the bag.
Twenty minutes later the couple leaves the hospital, the release papers in Kurts hand and Blaine carrying his bag. They walk to the car where Kurt is in charge of the music and both sing along happily if they just drive from NYADA to Blaines and not from the hospital to Kurts.
Kurt takes a bit longer to get up the stairs to the loft but Blaine patiently walks next to him and Kurt knows that it'll get easier the more he recovers so he doesn't mind. Everything will be fine. He's out of the hospital and back home and right now that makes him the happiest. Even more because Blaine is right by his side.
Once upstairs Kurt opens the door to the loft, finding a set table, snacks and a blanket at the couch. "They didn't" Kurt mumbles smiling and goes to the table where he finds a letter with his name on.
Dear Kurtie Lady Hummel
We wish we could be here right now but we're thinking about you. Blaine and you can warm up the left overs in the fridge for dinner. No alcohol for you because of the pain killers but to celebrate that we have you home again there's a bottle of apple cider in the fridge too. You and Blaine have a calm evening and enjoy. Also don't stay up too long. You need to rest.
See you tomorrow.
Rachel & Snixx
Kurt smiles at the letter before he turns to Blaine "Let's eat". They warm up the food and eat at the table while talking about everything and nothing and about what they can do on the weekend while Burt is there. A game night for example.
The couple only opens the apple cider after dinner when they sit down on the couch. Together they pick a movie and get comfortable, Kurt resting in Blaines arms, his upper body using Blaine as a pillow. During the movie they don't talk much. They just drink apple cider, eat some of the snacks and share a kiss once in a while.
After the movie Kurt can feel himself getting tired so he and Blaine get ready for bed and lay down in bed. Kurt falls asleep fast and since it's not that late Blaine spends some time on his phone before he too eventually falls asleep.
Kurt wakes up in the middle of the night as his body screams in pain. He forgot to take a pain killer before falling asleep and now that the last one wore off his body feels like it's getting ripped apart. Careful to not wake Blaine the chestnut haired man quietly gets up and goes to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water.
He hears the key turn in the lock as the door opens and Santana and Rachel come in. "How was work?" the chestnut hared man asks but instead of answering the latina asks "Why are you not in bed?". "It's okay Snixx. I just needed to take a pain killer but I'm going back to bed now" Kurt answers. Before he goes he hugs his best friends and says "Thanks for setting something up. We had a really great evening". "We're glad to have you home again Kurtie" Rachel answers with a smile "Now go back to bed. We're going too".
"Goodnight you two" the man says and both girls answer "Goodnight" at the same time. Just then they hear a fain voice. Blaines voice from Kurts room. "Mr. Perfect talks in his sleep" Santana laughs but Kurt knows what's up even tho they can't really understand what he's saying from the distance. "I think he's having a nightmare again. Sleep well girls" Kurt says, already halfway back in his room.
Like the nights before Blaine looks around when he wakes up but stop he isn't in his room. A short moment of panic is replaced by realization. He's in Kurts room. He's safe. Before he can look to his side where Kurt sleeps next to him the light turns on and the latter stands in the door frame. He comes in and closes the door behind him "Nightmare?".
Blaine could only nod. "Why were you up?" he then asks but Kurt waves it off "Not important. Are you okay?". "I will be" Blaine answers honestly. He already told Kurt about his nightmare and since it's always the same one so there isn't much to talk about. "Can we just lay down again?" he asks and Kurt nods. He turns off the light and lays down again, taking Blaines hand tightly in his before he quietly sings Blaine back to sleep again like the last few days.
