The thing was, Blaine didn't care how sick he was by the time Kurt came home and started nursing him through the Flu of Death. He could not believe how hard it got its clutches into him. He had been so sick and the fever got so bad, Kurt almost took him to the Emergency Room. Instead, he just took care of Blaine like a boss and all Blaine cared about was having Kurt close. He was pretty sure he could win a World War with Kurt at his side... if only marriage was still such a touchy subject, and probably always would be. But Blaine had been really sick, and spent most of the prior week wrapped up in a shivery, sweaty ball in bed and leaked various bodily fluids all over the place. He really had been a horrid sight in his flannel pyjamas, curly hair plastered to his head in a sweaty mess, pale skin, red eyes. He had a cough, he lost his voice, he couldn't keep anything but water and a bit of broth down. He really couldn't remember ever having been that sick in his life, but apparently it was a virulent bug going around

Puck was just glad that Blaine was moving around again, instead of curled in a ball of deliriousness and sweat like he had been. He'd been legitimately worried about his BFF until said BFF's other half was home taking care of him. Puck knew enough to know that, with Kurt there, Blaine would make it just fine. "It's good to see you moving around, man. I mean... Besides the sweaty, feverish writhing you were doing last time I saw you. Dude, that was some serious flu. Not gonna lie, I was thinking Man Flu when you first started coming down with it, but that shit was serious business."

He took a decent sized swallow of his coffee and looked over at Blaine. "I knew you were really sick, though, when you didn't go to New York. Nothing short of the plague itself could've kept you from that. I was really worried for you. Mike came home with you that day, but I texted him a couple times to check in. You were pretty out of it."

Blaine nodded and then gave a small snort, even if he was still a little on the congested side. "It was seriously horrible. I've had flus in my life, but this was the worst. Kurt nearly bloody took me to the ER because he was worried. I feel bad I pulled him back from the East Coast, but they can all go fuck themselves. He's my man, and I needed him. He was mine before he was any of theirs." Again, another reason why he wished Kurt was into marriage. At least he could put a ring on it and have some symbol of the fact Kurt belonged to him before he belonged to anyone else who wanted a piece of him. There was always still a tiny part of him that worried Kurt might not need him one day

"You had us pretty worried, dude... But I'm glad you're getting back to normal. And you're right. Everybody else can take a back seat. You were first. Dude, I don't think there was a way in hell, even if you'd tried to fake it, that you would've succeeded. And even if you could've fooled anybody else, Kurt wouldn't have bought it for a minute."

Taking another sip of his coffee, Puck took the split second to think before he pushed forward. He knew he needed to talk to Blaine about this. It was one of those things you really should discuss with your best friend, at least if you were as close to your best friend as Puck was to his. "Dude... That day you got sick and Mike took you home from my place... How much do you remember?"
