Kurt nodded, "I know, but people are weird. I just don't want you to get slushied or worse."
Blaine frowned, "I thought you didn't care about what other people think. That's the one thing I knew about you before I ever talked to you."
Kurt gave a him a small smile, "I don't but this is not about me."
"How about we work on this paper and if anything goes wrong, we go back to ignoring each other afterwards?" Blaine shrugged, ignoring the feeling that he was making a mistake even allowing this small exception.
Kurt's smile actually reached his eyes, and Blaine couldn't help but think that it was genuine, "Okay."
They spent the rest of the hour in silence working on their own but agreed to meet the next day after school to start brainstorming for their English project. Kurt smiled at him before leaving and Blaine told himself he was only doing this because it was safer to keep an eye on the one person who knew his biggest secret.

The following day Blaine was in the library five minutes before the agreed upon time. He sat himself at a table and opened one of his books to look busy, but found himself unable to get past the first paragraph because he kept glancing up at the door to look for Kurt's arrival. It was ridiculous and he knew it, so he tried harder to concentrate on what he was reading. When he glanced up again he realized Kurt was five minutes late and he fought to keep at bay the feeling that he was just wasting his time. Blaine decided to give the boy a half hour to show up and if he didn't Blaine would leave.
The half-hour mark came and went without any sign of Kurt; by then Blaine was so angry he wanted to throw his book at the wall, but he didn't, instead he mentally berated himself for ever thinking - hoping - that this would go any differently. There was no place for hope in Blaine's life and he couldn't afford to forget it.

Blaine had spent two more hours in the library that afternoon to finish his homework, ignoring the English paper he was supposed to work on with Kurt and pushing aside every thought concerning the other boy. As much as he tried though, he was still in a sour mood the morning after when he found himself once again in gym class. Luckily for him Kurt was nowhere in sight.
"Hey, guys! Did you hear about Kurt's dad?"
Blaine looked up from where he was changing his clothes and saw Mike Chang approaching the other Glee guys, looking worried and wide-eyed.
"What about him?" Artie asked.
"Tina told me he's in the hospital." Gasps and various exclamations of surprise and worry followed this information but Blaine froze, listening intently.
"I don't know anything for sure yet. Tina overheard something about his heart but didn't get a chance to ask Kurt because Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsbury immediately took him to the hospital. Nobody's heard from him since yesterday."
More chaos and questions followed, with Mike trying to explain he really didn't know anything more and Blaine heard Sam ask Finn if he'd heard from Kurt yet, "Your parents are dating right?" to which a flustered Finn mumbled Kurt hadn't called him.
Blaine didn't listen to anything else that was said. So that was why Kurt hadn't shown up and Blaine hadn't even given him the benefit of the doubt, immediately getting mad at him and himself for even thinking to maybe befriend the boy. A part of him knew his reaction had been justified - he had been disappointed enough times to last him a lifetime - and yet a different part of him had hoped Kurt was different. And maybe he was, Blaine only needed to give him a chance. If only he could find it in himself.

Blaine didn't see Kurt at all after hearing about his dad, so he was rather surprised to finally see him at his locker during lunch break the day after. Kurt looked distraught and Blaine's heart clenched a little at the sight.
Kurt nodded, "I know, but people are weird. I just don't want you to get slushied or worse."

"Hey." Blaine greeted softly.
Kurt turned to him, startled. "Blaine. Hi."
"I thought you weren't in school today."
