It seemed that although Kurt had been cleared of just about everything, hospital infection control policy stated that he had to be off duty with clear pathology results for a period of seven days before he could go back to work. This meant that he didn't have the luxury of using work as an excuse to keep his distance from Blaine, and because he didn't have the excuse, his guilt conscience meant he just
couldn't stay away. He wanted to be there when Blaine woke up just to see that he was okay, and to personally confess the stupid move he had made with Blaine's father.
As a result, it turned out he ended up staying the night in the uncomfortable chair that was supposed to serve as a place visitor's could sleep as they waited, but really absolutely sucked on the comfort factor. He hadn't meant to fall asleep. Hell, he hadn't meant to stay the night, but as he woke, rubbing at his stiff neck from sleeping weird in the chair, he saw that Blaine remained the same. Unconscious, unmoving. Kurt puffed out his cheeks with a breath and then let it out in a rough sigh, letting his shoulders slump. He needed to go home and shower and change, but he just couldn't bring himself to yet. It wouldn't hurt to wait just a little longer, would it...? He just needed coffee.
He shook some coins out of his wallet into his hand and then stiffly pulled himself up out of the chair to shuffle out into the hall to the coffee machine. He hated machine coffee, but it would have to do. He rested his forehead against the side of the machine as he slotted the coins in and hit the latte button, waiting as it buzzed and with painful slowness, started to trickle his coffee into the cardboard cup. So fucking ironic that just a week ago, life had been peachy and without issue. Now this. The turn of events really was making his head spin.
