Kurt settled back down on the sofa and adjusted the blanket around his shoulders again. "It's helping, it's just a slow process. Ultimately, they need to get me off that, though. Let's just say, it's a work in progress? You don't have to rush. It's not like I have to be anywhere. If you're not getting up in my business insulting me, there's no reason to want to get rid of you, is there?" he pointed out with a hint of a faint smile at her.
"No, no. It's not like that. I'm just letting him sleep. I'm up and down a lot not when I'm not feeling well, and he inevitably gets up with me to try and help. I'm just giving him a breather. We're just taking each day right now, it's hard to say how far we have gotten, we're just playing it by ear. I haven't exactly been in the mind space to really build firm foundations on anything. I'm just very grateful to have him and his presence. He's been amazing company and hasn't judged anything about me. It's not progressing like a normal relationship by any means, but I'm doing the best I can," he explained quietly, and knew he had piled a hell of a lot of baggage into Blaine's lap with this whole thing that Blaine hadn't needed to deal with. But he did, and he had been the light in Kurt's days during his stay at the clinic. He looked forward to Blaine's visits and it helped him stay positive through his battle, even on the really bad days.
As she apologised, Kurt looked back up, watching her intently. It took him by surprise, it really did. He had never been able to read how genuine Rachel was, or just what she was pulling for her own gain. This had nothing to do with gain, though. "It's okay. I'm sorry too. I know we were horrible to each other in the past, and honestly, I couldn't even tell you why now. High school feels like an out-of-body experience for me. Like it was someone else who lived it, but I have all the memories. I think it's about time we called a truce, and... I don't know if I'm the sort of person you would enjoy being friends with, but I don't see any harm in trying."
