Shattered Darkness
Alright, enjoy some fluffiness now, with some angst mixed in!
You also get a glimpse of the Anderson siblings again, so...yeah, have fun with that.

When Kurt woke up he had no idea what time it was. He found himself alone in bed, with no sign of Blaine, and he didn't like that for some reason. He slowly sat up and looked around, before immediately regretting it. Pain shot through his skull and he clutched his head, groaning as he curled back up, grimacing at the severe headache he seemed to have.
Did he hit his head or something? He wasn't sure why he felt so terrible.
The burn that ran up the back of his throat gave him a clue, and he felt dread seeping through him.
Awesome.
He hated getting sick.
Blinking back tears, he wished for the hundreth time since he'd woken up in this place that he was back home, with his dad, in his own bed, comfortable and safe.
But he wasn't, and he hated being all by himself when he wasn't feeling good.
Wincing with discomfort as he forced himself to get out of bed, the teenager stumbled through the doorway and into the hall.
He wanted Blaine.

There were times when Blaine questioned why he bothered interact with his older brother and sister at all, and why he hadn't moved out the moment he'd turned eighteen.
Today was one of those days.
He was sitting in the kitchen with Cooper and Vivienne, only half-listening as they discussed family business, politics, and other things he really couldn't give a shit about. At least they were no longer criticizing him about his life choices anymore, though he was starting to think they might be right about his mistakes, considering he had volunteered to continue living with them.
Honestly, he just wanted to go to bed.
It was really late, and his mind drifted back to Kurt, a small smile playing on his lips.
The poor boy had been so tired after their...activities earlier, that he hadn't even stirred when the man tried to wake him up for supper. If he got hungry he would probably make his way down, but for now he'd decided to just let the kid sleep.
He only snapped out of it when he heard his sister speak, "Well, well, if it isn't our little brother's new plaything."
Opening his eyes, Blaine followed the gaze of his siblings to the doorway of the kitchen, where Kurt was standing.
"Shouldn't children be in bed this late at night?"
To his surprise, Cooper was the one that spoke up, "Oh, leave the boy alone, Viv. He probably just wants him." The older male nodded in his younger brother's direction.
The boy opened his mouth as if to speak, only to let out a long, horrible cough. It was a deep hacking sound, right from within his lungs.
The three siblings only then noticed the teenager's appearance; he looked... really sick.
"Kurt, are you okay?" he stood, concern rushing through him.
The boy was ashen and pale, strands of his dark brunette hair plastered to his face, which was glistening with perspiration. His breathing was off, his blue eyes glassy and unfocused, and he seemed to be shivering despite the fact that it was quite warm inside.
Kurt looked up, his gaze fuzzy as he saw Blaine walking towards him. He tried to reply, but then the entire room spun around him, shadows in front of his eyes as he suddenly swayed on his feet.
Everything blackened as he abruptly lost consciousness, the last thing he remembered was someone catching him before he could hit the floor.

Kurt's eyelids fluttered, but he felt heavy and hot at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to wake up entirely.
Someone was carrying him, he knew because the motion made his stomach turn, and he had to concentrate hard on not throwing up. Something plastic was pressed to his mouth - a bottle, he parted his lips and drank the water greedily, feeling it soothe his enflamed throat temporarily.
"Try to stay awake, Kurt." A familiar voice spoke to him, and an ice cold hand pressed against his burning cheek. He leaned into it, and heard Blaine curse under his breath, "He's burning up. Coop, go get Sushmita, tell her to bring a thermometer."
He felt himself being put down on a bed.
Panic seizing him, he tried to reach out and grab at Blaine, not wanting to be left alone, "No." He croaked out.
A humorless chuckle came above him, and those nice cold hands stroked his face again, comfortingly, "Shh... It's okay, I've got you." He relaxed a little, turning his head into the touch, and drew in a sharp breath, "It...it hurts." he managed, but it sounded like he was wheezing.
"What is it, Kurt? Where does it hurt?" Blaine asked him gently.
"S-Stomach."
The pain was excruciating, and the ache didn't ease at all. He clenched his teeth, whimpering and trying to hold back tears, and failing.
The teenager eventually managed to force his eyes opened, and looking up at Blaine, "Stay...please?" he asked, pleadingly, holding tightly onto the man's hand. "Don't leave."

Blaine's heart ached slightly when he saw how small and vulnerable Kurt looked. He sat down on the bed, and cradled the boy close in his arms, brushing the tears away with his thumb, trying his best to soothe him.
It wasn't long before Cooper returned with his betrothed, and she looked worried as soon as she saw the brunette's condition. Her expression became determined, and she opened up the red medical bag she was carrying with her, pulling out a disposable thermometer.
It took some convincing for Kurt to let them take his temperature, but when they finally did, Sushmita relaxed just slightly. "He has a fever, it is 102.5. Most likely his body is fighting off an infection, but we must keep a close eye on him, in case it becomes higher." She said, looking down at the boy, "Do not worry my friend, we will take good care of you."
Friend? Since when were they friends?
Whatever, he could wonder about that later.
Kurt's breathing had slowed down, and he seemed to have fallen asleep.
Sushmita turned to look at Blaine, "Make sure he drinks lots of fluids, give him some medicine when he wakes up and check his temperature frequently. It is not dangerous yet unless it starts to climb again."
He nodded solemnly, "I understand, thank you." He brushed some of Kurt's sweaty hair from his face, his expression softening with concern.
Blaine could feel Cooper's eyes trained on him, but he ignored it. He didn't care if his brother was confused by his behavior. He was entirely focused on the sick boy in his arms.
Right now he had to take care of Kurt, the kid was his responsibility now, he would make sure he was okay.

When Kurt slowly stirred back to life a couple of hours later, he was surprised to find Blaine laying beside him, curled into his arms, while the man was wiping his face gently with a cool washcloth.
"Hey." He greeted softly, passing him his water bottle from earlier, watching him finish it off in one long gulp. "How are you feeling?"
"Awful." The boy groaned and closed his eyes again, putting his head back down on the pillow. "What's wrong with me?"
"You most likely have the Flu. The symptoms of Pneumonia are also there, but that's fairly typical. It's like a worse version of a cold." He explained.
"Great."
"Is there anything you need?"
"No." The teenager mumbled, pressing his face into the man's chest, ignoring how warm he felt. "Just hold me."
A little surprised at the request, Blaine pulled the boy closer, allowing Kurt to snuggle up in his arms. He relaxed, a feeling of safety wrapped around him like a security blanket.
"Thanks..." He sighed quietly, still feeling exhausted.
"Go back to sleep." Blaine encouraged, "You need the rest. I promise I will be here when you wake up."
The teenager nodded sleepily, feeling cool lips press against his forehead as he drifted off again rather quickly.

I felt like writing something cute, so this is what came of it.
