kurt.

He couldn’t stay there forever. Sleeping on the floor sounded easy enough but Kurt was not willing to go to such an extreme, that would just be embarrassing. He scooted aside and opened up the cabinet.  ‘What’s wrong’?  At the moment he wanted nothing more than to curl up and sleep.  He still had to change clothes…  And answer Blaine.  Found the aspirin at least.  He slowly rose to his feet and heaved a heavy sigh.  He stopped there, leaned on the counter and avoiding his own reflection – he’s positive that he has to look as bad as he feels at the moment – in favor of shaking a few pills out of the little bottle and taking them with some tap water.  Kurt cleared his throat before speaking.  “Don’t worry.  Just a stomach ache.”  He said as he finally opened the door.

More silence.  Blaine was about ready to take it as a sign to back off when he heard Kurt rustling around.  Another concerned glance was aimed at the door before he took a few steps back and loosely crossed his arms over his chest.  Still no answer.  Picking up his left hand from where it cupped his right elbow, Blaine rubbed the back of his neck and turned around only to pause at the sound of the door opening and Kurt’s voice.  Looking back–his same worried expression moved across Kurt’s pallid complexion and dark undereye circles.  “Just a stomach ache?”  He gave Kurt a lopsided curve of his lips and rubbed the side of his pointer finger against the tip of his nose flicking the others outward like he was erasing the forced smile so he could give him a real one.  “You don’t look so–,” he stopped and tried to tell himself it wasn’t his business.  But? Feeling like he had to make sure Kurt was okay considering how worse for wear he looked wasn’t so easy to shake.  Was it his place?  

Kurt was already hiding out in the bathroom. Maybe he wanted to be left alone so he could sleep it off?  Way to overthink, Blaine. “Anything I can do?  Or I can step out and let you rest?  Sorry,” he sighed embarrassedly towards the floor then peeked back up with a guilty grin.  “I know you can take care of yourself. Guess I was worried.  Considering where you’ve been locked away?”
