Naomi actually took a little step back when she saw Kurt and heard him speak. Of course, she knew Puck's old classmate had rapidly risen to the top, and she had followed Project Runway religiously when Kurt had been a contestant and stormed the entire series to win it, his amazing first collection being showcased at the New York Fashion Week that year. She had been so proud. She never knew him extremely closely, but he had always been Puck's best friend's love and that meant he was a presence in Naomi's life by default. Not to mention the fact she had always admired him so, so much for being himself and owning it. And yes, she knew Kurt's fashion line and how amazing it was. So amazing, fact, that she had never been able to afford any of it, despite wistfully drooling over the pieces in fashion magazines on her breaks at work. In those magazines and on TV and online, Kurt was painted as this ultra-strong fabulous gay businessman who took the world by storm

Kurt shook his had slightly and stepped a little closer to her. "No, it's okay, Naomi. Don't apologise, okay? There's nothing to apologise for, and I seriously have no room to judge on any of that sort of thing. I understand, okay? Come in, sit down. We can talk if you want to. I can't promise to be able to give you what you need, but I'll try to help the best I can." He gave a bit of a nod in the direction of the entranceway into the rest of his home so she would follow

Kurt's placid and accommodating response helped calm Naomi's nerves. Again, she wanted to hug him but he was putting out an air that even though he was being accommodating, physical contact wasn't welcome. He kept his arms and hands close to him, and that was okay. He hadn't told her to go fuck herself, so that's all she could ask for. She and Puck hadn't spoken much directly about Kurt or Blaine. She knew both were in Puck's life now after not being for very long, and she also knew via her mom from Mrs Hummel that Kurt had been seriously ill in the past year or so. Was it just the drugs and that information had been concealed? Naomi had no idea. Kurt was a celebrity and of course his private business had been kept on the hush. To look at him now, though, she could see he had been ill. He was still beautiful, though. She had always thought that about him. He and Blaine had been a seriously hot couple back in their day

Kurt shook his head. "No, he didn't have it back in school. Blaine's baby girl got meningitis when she was an infant, and he caught it off her. He spent time in hospital and was seriously sick. But there were complications in his recovery and because the infection was so bad, it caused the epilepsy. He has medication for it, but sometimes, he just had bad periods with it. He's been doing well. He had a rough patch over Christmas, and has kept on top of it, but the other day he went down with a bad one in the shower. I'm just trying to take care of him the best I can, but it's not easy. It terrifies me to see him like that
