Warning : A little violence

A/N : Sorry for my mistakes.
Kurt hadn’t thought that his day would go by like that. When he had woken this morning, everything had been good. Not having classes, it was a good day to do what he needed to do. So that’s why he had gone to the bank. However he hadn’t expected that things would turn bad. He was waiting his turn at the counter when a group of masked men got in the bank, telling and pointing guns on people.
Now, he was sitting on the floor, his back against the wall, his eyes wide and his body shivering. He ignored every noise (sobs, whimpers, pleas,…) that people made, too worried by the gun which was pointing at him. He was used to violence, having suffered from that by jocks at his high school, but he had never had a gun pointing at him. It was terrifying.
Suddenly, everything happened very fast. He was raised on his feet by a strong hand around his arm and pulled towards a direction whereas many yells and sobs resounded around him. Then different lights blinded him, making him feel dizzy. The next thing he felt was pain in his right side and his encounter with the ground.
For a moment, the pain was the only thing he could focus on. His right side hurt really bad and he felt like he was drowing in pain. Then he heard a voice. A male but gentle voice which asked him to open his eyes. When he realized what the request was, he obeyed. Firstly, his sight was blurred by tears, then he blinked several times and his sight was clearer. The first thing he saw was amber eyes. Beautiful amber eyes. Then he noticed a handsome face which belonged at a man, a little older than him.
« Hey, » the same voice said. Kurt blinked again before realizing that this voice also belonged to the man who was in reality a paramedic. He opened his mouth to sat something but a sudden sharp wave of pain came and he screamed weakly. « Sorry, » the paramedic said, « but I have to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. »
Kurt didn’t say anything, occupied at breathing through the pain. He really didn’t understand what was happening, and this scared him. He didn’t realize he had closed his eyes until the man asked him to open them again. He obeyed and met a smile from the paramedic. Then, without thinking, he spoke.
« It hurts. » The man talked while he kept doing his job.
« I know, but you have to stay with me, okay ? Don’t close your eyes, stay awake. Can you do that for me ? » Kurt nodded and he was rewarded by a smile. « Good. By the way, my name is Blaine. Blaine Anderson. And you ? »
« K-Kurt Hummel. »
« Well, Kurt, it’s nice to meet you, though I’d prefer to meet you in other circumstances. » Kurt couldn’t answer because a new wave of pain came, making him moan whereas tears fell from his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a hand in his hair, a gesture that he recognized as a comfort one.
« Am I going to die ? » he asked afraid. He knew that the amount of pain he was feeling at this moment wasn’t normal. He had already been in a lot of pain mostly because of bullying, but never so much pain.
« No, you’re not going to die, Kurt. In some minutes, you’ll be at the hospital where doctors will take care of you. » A small silence then Blaine spoke again. « So, do you have a girlfriend ? » In spite of his pain, Kurt laughed a little.
« Not my type. »
« Oh. So a boyfriend ? » Kurt shook his head. Blaine raised an eyebrow. « Really ? How can’t men want to be with a beautiful man like you ? » In other circonstances, Kurt would be blushing but not now. He was too in pain, without forgotten he was bleeding.
« A-And you ? »
« No boyfriend for the moment. » Kurt just could pronounce a ‘oh’.
They kept talking, especially Blaine who tried to keep the younger man from closing his eyes. They learnt both came from Ohio and they attended schools which weren’t not very away from each other. Their conversation was cut when Kurt was taken in an ambulance. However, Blaine was with him to reassure him while movements were too painful for him. They continued their conversation.
« So you know I’m a paramedic but I don’t know what you do. »
« I’m an up-and-coming fashion designer, » Kurt weakly said. Blaine noticed that and worried. Though the bleeding had decreased, it didn’t stop. But he tried not to show it on his face, not wanting to worry the young man.
« What do you like except fashion ? »
« Singing. I-I love singing. I-I was a member of the glee club at my school. » That interested Blaine.
« Really ? I love singing too, so much that sometimes my friends tell me to shut up. And I was also a member of the glee club. Maybe you could sing for me when you’re better ? »
« Maybe, » Kurt answered. This answer was followed by some seconds of silence. Then Kurt spoke again in a whisper. « I’m cold. » Blaine frowned and took Kurt’s hand in his. He noticed it was cold. « And… I’m tired, » Kurt added.
« I know, Kurt, but you have to stay awake, okay ? » Blaine said while he rubbed Kurt’s hand to warm up it.
« ’Kay. » As he was asked, Kurt tried to stay awake, blinking everytime he felt his eyes close. But it was more and more hard. He tried to focus on the person who was taking care of him and he noticed that it was working for the moment. But he didn’t know until when it will work.
« So what kind of music do you like ? » Blaine kept asking.
« B-Broadway music and… and music from Lady Gaga. »
« Seriously ? Broadway music I can understand, but Lady Gaga ? I think Katy Perry is better. »
« No w-way. You can’t say… something… like that. »
« Why not ? It’s the truth. » Blaine hoped that made Kurt react, because he could see the young man became weaker and had more and more difficulties to stay awake. Seeing the young designer didn’t answer, he changed the subject of their conversation. « So do you have family ? » For a moment, Kurt blinked again then answered as loud as it was possible in his condition.
« M-My dad still lives in L-Lima with my stepmother and… I have a stepbrother who plays in the Ohio f-football team. »
« Oh that’s great. What’s your stepbrother’s name ? And how old is he ? » However Kurt didn’t answer. His eyes started to close and he didn’t do something to keep them open. Blaine felt his heart tighten. He didn’t know why but even though he just met this young man, he wanted him to be okay, to stay awake as long as possible. The only thing he knew it was that it has nothing to have with his job as a paramedic. So when he saw Kurt was about to become unconscious, he put a hand on his too pale cheek and called him. « Kurt, please, don’t close your eyes. Look at me. »
« Tired, » Kurt whispered, his eyes half open. Blaine sighed.
« I know, but you can’t sleep yet. »
« Why ? »
« Because you have to stay awake. I want to see your eyes. Your beautiful eyes. »
During the next minutes, Blaine tried to keep Kurt awake but the more the minutes went by, the more it was difficult. Eventually the paramedic was desperate, trying different ways like asking Kurt to talk about his family, his job, listing the different designers he liked and more, but that didn’t work very well. Suddenly he had an idea. He tightened his grip around Kurt’s hand to attract his attention.
« Kurt, look at me. » When he had the younger’s focus on him, he continued. « If you stay awake until we’re at the hospital, I promise you to take you at a date, okay ? If you keep your eyes open, you’ll have a date with me. » In spite of his weak state, Kurt was surprised by these words. The paramedic seemed desperate but sincere.
« ‘Kay, » he finally said. For the next minutes, he managed to stay awake with Blaine’s promise in his mind. He tried to answer at the questions that the older man asked but the tiredness was more and more present. Therefore, he often nodded instead of speaking. Then came a silence between two questions. He took advantage of that to ask a question. « C-Can you… sing to me ? »
Blaine was surprised by this question, blinking for some seconds. Then when he realized what Kurt just asked him, he smiled and nodded.
« Of course. What do you want me to sing ? »
« Anything. » At this answer, Blaine started to think about a song he could sing. Then a song appeared in his mind and he smiled before starting to sing.
There’s a place in your heart, nobody’s been
Take me there
Things nobody knows, not even your friends
Take me there
Tell me ‘bout your momma
Your daddy, your hometown, show me around
I wanna see it all, don’t leave anything out
I wanna know everything about you then
And I wanna go down every road you’ve been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there
Blaine realized that Kurt stared at him. He seemed more attentive, as if the song helped him to stay awake.
Your first real kiss, your first true love
You were scared, show me where you learned about life
Spent your summer nights without a care
Take me there
I wanna roll down Main Street, the back roads
Like you did when you were a kid
What made you who you are ?
Tell me what your story is
I wanna know everything about you then
And I wanna go down every road you’ve been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me there, yeah
The paramedic was surprised to see he really wanted to know all these things about Kurt. He really wanted to know more about the young designer, to have the date he had promised and see what will happen.
I wanna know everything about you
Yeah, everything about you, baby
I wanna go down every road you’ve been
Where your hopes and dreams and wishes live
Where you keep the rest of your life hid
I wanna know the girl behind that pretty stare
Take me, take me, take me there, oh
(Take me, baby, take me)
I wanna roll down Main Street
I wanna know your hopes and your dreams
(Take me there)
Take me, take me there, yeah
(Take me, baby, take me)
(Take me there)
(Take me, baby, take me )
(Take me there)
Blaine sighed while Kurt weakly smiled.
« It was… good. »
Suddenly the ambulance stopped and the doors opened to let show many doctors and nurses. Blaine sighed, relieved. What happened next happened fast. Kurt started to panic. He was surrounded by many sounds and people. He didn’t understand what was happening. Then, suddenly, everything went black. The last thing he heard was Blaine.
« Everything will be alright now, Kurt. »
******************************************************************************
Kurt was reading a magazine when he heard someone knock on the door. He raised his head and saw a man that he thought he will never see again. He didn’t remember very well about what had happened four days ago, but there was one thing he really remembered. Blaine. Blaine who had taken care of him and had kept him from losing his consciousness.
« Hi, » he said surprised. Blaine answered, smiling, then got in the room.
« I hope I don’t bother you. » Kurt closed his magazine.
« No, not at all. In fact, I’m glad to have visitors. I’m very bored and there’s nothing to do. Except reading and sleeping. » Kurt had woken two days after his surgery with nothing to do. He had called his family and they had promised to come as fast as they could. And from the call he had had this morning, they will be here tonight. « Besides, I wanted to thank you for what you had done. » Blaine smiled and sat on the chair near Kurt’s bed.
« Oh it’s nothing. After all, it’s my job. How are you ? Your doctor just told me you’re fine, but I wanted to see with my own eyes. » Kurt smiled.
« As the doctor said, I’m fine. Just a little weak but I suppose it’s normal with all the blood I had lost and the fact a bullet almost pierced my stomach. »
« Great ! » Blaine exclaimed, moving a little. Kurt heard the sound of plastic and saw for the first time a bag in Blaine’s hands. The latter noticed his look and smiled, raising the bag. « I don’t know if you remember, but I promised you a date. And since you won’t leave this room before a week, I thought that spend this date here was a good idea. Besides, I’m sure you’d love to eat food which doesn’t come from hospital. I hope it’s okay. »
Kurt was surprised that Blaine remembered about his promise. He thought the latter had forgotten or had just said that in the hope of keeping Kurt awake but hadn’t intended to make this promise true.
« It is. » Suddenly Kurt remembered about his appearance and blushed. With his hand, he tried to comb his hair. « But I don’t look presentable. » Blaine laughed.
« Believe me, you looks good. » Kurt smiled and let his hand fall while Blaine took the tray at the end of the bed. Then he started to take the food out of the bag. « I hope you like Chinese food. I know it’s not very appropriate for a first date but I don’t know what you like and I couldn’t take food from restaurants. »
« All except hospital food ! And hamburgers, » Kurt added after a second. Blaine laughed again.
They ate while they talked about different subjects. They were surprised but happy to see they shared a lot of things in common.
« So why did you become a paramedic ? » Kurt asked to change the subject.
« At the beginning, I didn’t want to be a paramedic. I wanted to be a singer but in my senior year at high school, something had happened and I had discovered I love helping people. And apparently, I’m good reassuring people and helping them. »
« I saw that, » Kurt said, remembering how Blaine had taken care of him, and smiled.
« And you ? Why a designer ? »
« I have always loved clothes and fashion. Besides I love making clothes and seeing them be worn by people. When I was younger, I had always had my notebook with me, where I drew clothes. In fact, I still have a notebook with me because inspiration can come when it wants. » When Kurt noticed he was rambling, he blushed. « Sorry. » Blaine laughed, thinking the man was adorable.
« Don’t be sorry. It’s nice to see you talking about that with such passion. » Kurt became redder.
They continued to talk, learning to know more about each other. However, Blaine noticed that Kurt was more and more tired, often blinked to keep himself from falling asleep and stopped himself from yawning. He then remembered that Kurt had got out from surgery four days ago and still needed sleep. And though he wanted to stay to talk more with Kurt (he really wanted to know more about him), he had to let him sleep. So with a sigh, he stood up. Kurt looked at him, inquiringly.
« You’re tired, Kurt, » Blaine said, smiling. « You need to sleep if you want to get out the hospital fast. » The paramedic was happy to see he wasn’t the only one to be disappointed about that. Blaine put the rest of the food in the plastic bag and threw the empty plates in the trash can.
« Will we see each other again ? » Kurt asked, hoping.
« Of course, Kurt. After all, I still have to take you at a real date. » Kurt smiled brightly. Blaine took a paper towel and a pen, and wrote his phone number. Then he gave it at Kurt. « Here is my phone number. Call me when you get out of the hospital in order to fix a date. »
« Thanks, » Kurt said, looking at the paper towel in his hands. Then he looked at Blaine and smiled.
« I’ll see you soon, Kurt. Take care of yourself. »
« You too. » After a last look and smile, Blaine left. Kurt looked at the door with a dreamy look. He didn’t manage to believe what just happened. He had the feeling he was dreaming. He smiled then put the paper tower on the small table near his bed. Still smiling, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the next second.
***********************************************************************
Apparently, it wasn’t a dream because two years later, they were together and Blaine decided that it was the good time to ask him to marry him. Of course, he said yes. Some months later, Kurt Hummel became Kurt Anderson-Hummel. And, before falling asleep in Blaine’s arms, he thought the day of the robbery was one of his happiest days for it was this day where he met his husband.

« And you ? Why a designer ? »
« I have always loved clothes and fashion. Besides I love making clothes and seeing them be worn by people. When I was younger, I had always had my notebook with me, where I drew clothes. In fact, I still have a notebook with me because inspiration can come when it wants. » When Kurt noticed he was rambling, he blushed. « Sorry. » Blaine laughed, thinking the man was adorable.
« Don’t be sorry. It’s nice to see you talking about that with such passion. » Kurt became redder.
They continued to talk, learning to know more about each other. However, Blaine noticed that Kurt was more and more tired, often blinked to keep himself from falling asleep and stopped himself from yawning. He then remembered that Kurt had got out from surgery four days ago and still needed sleep. And though he wanted to stay to talk more with Kurt (he really wanted to know more about him), he had to let him sleep. So with a sigh, he stood up. Kurt looked at him, inquiringly.
« You’re tired, Kurt, » Blaine said, smiling. « You need to sleep if you want to get out the hospital fast. » The paramedic was happy to see he wasn’t the only one to be disappointed about that. Blaine put the rest of the food in the plastic bag and threw the empty plates in the trash can.
« Will we see each other again ? » Kurt asked, hoping.
« Of course, Kurt. After all, I still have to take you at a real date. » Kurt smiled brightly. Blaine took a paper towel and a pen, and wrote his phone number. Then he gave it at Kurt. « Here is my phone number. Call me when you get out of the hospital in order to fix a date. »
« Thanks, » Kurt said, looking at the paper towel in his hands. Then he looked at Blaine and smiled.
« I’ll see you soon, Kurt. Take care of yourself. »
« You too. » After a last look and smile, Blaine left. Kurt looked at the door with a dreamy look. He didn’t manage to believe what just happened. He had the feeling he was dreaming. He smiled then put the paper tower on the small table near his bed. Still smiling, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the next second.
***********************************************************************
Apparently, it wasn’t a dream because two years later, they were together and Blaine decided that it was the good time to ask him to marry him. Of course, he said yes. Some months later, Kurt Hummel became Kurt Anderson-Hummel. And, before falling asleep in Blaine’s arms, he thought the day of the robbery was one of his happiest days for it was this day where he met his husband.
