Courage

Should I call him?!?

It was cold in New York, it had rained all night. Kurt Hummel, was up bright and early making coffee. Rachel rolled out of bed, walking into the kitchen. "Good Morning, Rachel!" He beamed. Rachel looked at him, "Good Morning, Kurt..." She was so tired, "I have been up most of the night..." She stated getting the milk out of the fridge. "Oh, rehearsing... You really overwork yourself..." Kurt said concerned. She then glared at him as she poured cereal in her bowl. "Have you called Blaine?" She said looking at him. "No. We aren't together..." He said looking sad thinking about it. Rachel looked down, "I talked to Mr. Shue, yesterday and he said, Blaine had been sick for a week..." Kurt looked worried, "Oh... Should I call him?" Rachel nodded, "Yes... Call him, see if he is okay as a friend..." Kurt looked at his phone, he had Blaine on speed dial from when they used to date. He pressed call, nervously hoping he would not pick up.

In Lima, the rain was pouring as well. Blaine was asleep until he got an upseting pain in his stomach. He woke up leaning on the bedframe rubbing his own stomach. He moaned a bit in pain, and got up getting dressed. Putting on a black button up, a red bow tie, and black skinny jeans. Hoping he wouldn't get noticed in the halls of McKinley he had packed on 8 pounds to his original weight. He was so embarrassed of his own body. Standing in front of the mirror he tried to button his jeans but no luck. When he got them button, he was sore from the tightness around the end of his gut. Getting gel from the bathroom, he began gelling his hair. As his stomach churned and ached. He barely could stand. Blaine heard his phone ringing suddenly. He picked up answering it, "Hello..." It was Kurt, its weird they hadn't talked since their last hook up at Wills Wedding.

Kurt smiled, "Blaine! How are you? Please be honest!" He frowned worried. Blaine looked down, "I am fine..." He sat down and the button on his pants bursted springing out against the wall. "Actually... I am not okay..." He almost cried. Kurt frowned, "What's wrong?" Blaine frowned at his gut, "Something is wrong with me... Remember, when we had sex at Mr. Shue's wedding?" Kurt looked confused on why that matter to now, "Yeah... Why what about it?" Blaine frowned, "Ever since then... I have been so sick..." Kurt looked worried. "Oh No..." Blaine looked embarrassed, "I need you Kurt... More than ever just as a friend... Or whatever... You are comfortable with..." Kurt looked down, thinking of how he might help him, "You aren't going to school, are you?" Blaine looked down, "Yeah..." Kurt looked worried, "Be careful... I don't think you should go..." Blaine frowned, "I have to we are practicing for regionals..." Kurt looked down, "Fine... How about this? You go to school and if you get to feeling too bad... You can call Carol or Dad, they can pick you up and you can wait in my bed." Blaine looked up, "Wait, for what?" Kurt smiled, "Well, I was thinking I have the weekend off... I could come and take care of you..." Blaine blushed, "Really? You would do that for me?" Kurt smiled, "Of course, even though we aren't together... You mean alot to me and I want to help you anyway I can... I am going to get on the next plane...." Blaine smiled brightly, so happy to hear he was coming to his rescue. "Thank you... Kurt, I-" Almost saying I love you to Kurt. He stopped himself, "I- just really appreciate it!" Kurt smiled, "You don't have to thank me! I am on my way, have a good day at school Blaine." Blaine smiled blushing, "Alright, I will try... Bye" "Bye." Kurt started packing up his stuff to go to Lima.

Blaine changed into another pair of skinny jeans that were faded a light blue. They were too small as well making his preduing gut sore. He grabbed his messenger bag, and threw it over his shoulder. As he walked downstairs, he smiled happy, Kurt was on his way. He got out to the car where Cooper was waiting. Blaine sat down easily so not to burst his button again. Cooper watched him, "You okay, bub?" Blaine nodded lying to make him stop looking at him. Cooper started the car, and drove toward the school.

Kurt got his suticase packed, and got dressed into a button up. It was Royal Blue, and then a pair of gray skinny jeans. He smiled, fixing his hair, and also doing his usual skincare routine. Before grabbing his suitcase, walking into the living room. Rachel hugged him after he explained the situation. He grabbed a cup of the coffee he made going out calling a taxi. A taxi drove up by the curve, he got in sitting his suticase beside him. "To the airport" Kurt said. It rained hard, as the driver nodded speeding off.

Blaine was soaked when he got to school from the rain. Mr. Shue spotted him coming in. "Blaine, come with me we will get you a change of shirt from the gym..." He frowned. Blaine looked upset, "I didn't feel good... And I still gelled my hair... But I guess it was for nothing..." Mr. Shue looked at him not sure what to say. "Come on!" He helped him into the locker room so he wouldn't slip. Mr. Shue got out a small shirt. Thinking it was Blaine's normal size in dress rehearsal. Handing it to him, Blaine walked into a stall changing into it. It was like a belly shirt, as he looked down at it he cried.  Mr. Shue frowned hearing him, "Everything okay in there? Blaine?" Blaine cried loudier not able to control it. "I need a bigger shirt..." Mr. Shue frowned, "Okay..." He went to the box getting out a large. "Here is a large..." Blaine cried more taking it through the door, "Please. Don't say that..." Mr. Shue was worried, All Blaine, had been doing was vomiting for a whole week maybe longer. And he gained weight how can that be...? He thought. Blaine got it on, still crying. "Mr. Shue... Are we practicing today?" Mr. Shue thought about it, "Yeah... You can go on in the Glee room and wait until I call everyone else..." Blaine walked out tears streaming down his cheeks. "Okay..." Mr. Shue hugged him, and Blaine hugged him back. Mr. Shue put his arm over his shoulder, and helped him to the Glee room. "Blaine, take a seat... I will get a roll out bed from the nurses office..." Mr. Shue said as he walked out of the Glee room. Blaine walked over to his normal chair taking a seat. He texted Kurt, "Just so you know... I am fat... 😭😭"

The taxi parked up next to the airport. Kurt paid the driver getting out, and walking into the airport. He walked up to the ticket desk. He paid for his ticket before taking a seat. His flight wasn't for a couple hours. He had to wait so he took a seat. Looking around seeing all the couples made him think of Blaine. His phone made a buzz noise, Blaine had texted him. He read the text, thinking what could he mean by that. "Blaine, honey whats wrong?"

Blaine cried more, and the text came through he read it. "I have got fat... I hate myself... If you don't want to come anymore... I will understand..." He texted Kurt, and the pains in his stomach got worse. He ran to the trash can vomiting. Mr. Shue walked in pushing the bed in, and seen Blaine. He parked the bed and ran over to Blaine rubbed his shoulders. "You alright?" Blaine nodded, "Yeah..."

Kurt looked worried reading the text, and cried alittle. Why would Blaine feel that way? He has muscles... I worry about him so much. "Blaine, listen to me... None of that matters to me... You are amazing how ever you look..."

Blaine looked at his phone reading the text crying more. Texting back, "Promise?" He wanted to know before he embarrassed himself. Mr. Shue helped him on to the bed and handed him some covers. "You want to call your parents?" Blaine shook his head, "What about Regionals? And my parents are never home..." Mr. Shue frowned, "No, practice for regionals for you, if you are sick... Oh... Maybe I could take you home at lunch or something..." He thought.

Kurt frowned impatiently waiting on the text back. He finally got the text reading it, "I promise..." Kurt texted back, he was so worried about him.

Blaine looked down, "Kurt, said that Carol and Burt. Would not mind coming out to get me... I am just afriad to call them..." Mr. Shue looked confused, "Are you and Kurt together again?" Blaine shook his head, "No we aren't, but he is coming down to take care of me as a friend..." Mr. Shue smiled, "Well, would like me to call them for you?" Blaine nodded, "Please." Then the text from Kurt came through he read it. Blushing and finally calming down some before falling asleep. Mr. Shue called The Hummel Household.
