Blaine went cross-eyed when he looked at the thermomater about an inch from his nose and then dragged his eyes back up to Kurt's face. "Oh yeah. I totally spent all night randomly making out with your sick straight brother. I just couldn't keep my hands or my tongue to myself. We were getting it on while you slept on obliviously. Of course. Considering I'm just so experienced in those things," he said sarcastically.

"And before you ask, I didn't kiss anyone. I don't know what's happening, I just know I feel like absolutely crap. I've spent countless times in the past few weeks in countless crowded places. I could've got this anywhere. Maybe it's not mono. Maybe it's The Plague," he mumbled and the rested his head against the wall beside him.

Kurt pursed his lips together. This should probably be an amusing conversation for them to be having - as friends, and not dating at all - but he was just too worried about Blaine. He tentatively put his hand over Blaine's forehead and could feel that he was burning, so he unceremoniously stuck the thermometer in his mouth to check just how much he was burning up. "I was just asking. Maybe you offered Finn a belated buck for his kissing booth. You were okay yesterday! That's all I'm saying."

"The Plague? Really? Why not leprosy or cholera? You've never had mono before?" he asked hesitantly. It wasn't that Kurt had, either, but the spent the night sleeping in the same room and sharing candy, and all that sort of interesting non-dating stuff, but Kurt felt fine.

"Why would I want to kiss Finn? Besides the fact he's straight, he's not my type. If I even have a type, and if I do, it's not Finn. I hardly know Finn. I'm not gonna kiss him," Blaine mumbled after the thermometer had beeped and he handed it over to Kurt. "I can't believe you would think I would kiss your brother. Especially when he's sick. You think I want to feel like I've been hit by a bus?"

He shook his head with a small moan. His head was thumping and he felt sick in his stomach, not to mention like he was stuck in a furnace and had swallowed a porcupine. "I haven't even ever had chicken pox. No boyfriend, no chicken pox. Just mono. Can I just lie down now? I think I'm going to just lie down here in the bath. Wake me when it's time for Regionals."

Kurt was just scrutinising Blaine closely. The truth was, he didn't really think Blaine had been kissing anyone. He had already admitted that he was inexperienced in that realm and Kurt wasn't going to flog a dead horse to make Blaine feel uncomfortable. Germs - including mono - could be contrated by sneezing, coughing, sharing food, drink. Anything. It had just been confronting considering the whole Gap Attack bullshit. Kurt might not be verbalising it anymore, but the whole thing came as quite the kick to the nuts. He was still a little fragile about the whole thing. He knew Mercedes had been right at the sleepover, but even as she had been speaking, all Kurt could think of was how much he really did like Blaine. It wasn't just a stupid crush. He really, really liked him. Maybe even more. He was fine being single like the divas, but if he could have a choice of being a single diva or dating this guy sitting in front of him he just had this deep connection with, he knew what he would choose... it just wasn't his choice
