It was on one such day that Blaine and Kurt got dropped into a dumpster for the first time. Finn was distracted by Mr Schuester, the Spanish teacher, asking him when he was going to hand in his homework. Karofsky and Azimio descended on Blaine and Kurt, dropping them both into the dumpster. The two jocks walked away laughing afterwards, and Finn whirled around, rushing over to the dumpster and helping the two small boys out. 'I'm sorry I wasn't watching, guys.' Finn murmured apologetically.

Kurt shrugged as Blaine picked a piece of rubbish out of Kurt's hair 'It wouldn't have stopped them. You know they would have just distracted you.' Finn bit his lip 'But I'm supposed to be watching out for you.' Kurt said 'It's okay Finn, really.' He linked arms with Blaine 'Come on Blaine, let's go get cleaned up.'

Blaine nodded and the two walked towards the school, heading into the boy's bathroom and closing the door behind them. The two boys started to clean their faces of dirt, before quickly restyling their hair and heading out of the bathroom towards their class.

During class the two wrote notes to each other, discussing the bullying. Kurt wrote to Blaine 'We have to get out of this school.' Blaine replied 'There's a private school two hours away from here, called Dalton. We could go there.' Kurt read the note and nodded 'We'll get your parents over to my house tonight and discuss it with all of them. Send a message to your parents.' Blaine nodded and sent a quick text to his parents, containing Kurt's address and asking them to go there after work.

After school, Blaine sat with his parents on the sofa in Kurt's house, while Carole and Burt sat on the love seat together. Kurt started to talk 'Over the past couple of weeks, Blaine and I have been subjected to bullying by the football and hockey players at school. Finn has been trying his best to watch out for us, but it has been unsuccessful. The jocks just know how to get him distracted and bully us.' He glanced at Blaine 'We've been shoved into lockers and had slushies thrown over us. And today we were thrown into a dumpster. There's a private school, in Westerville. Its Dalton Academy, and it has a zero bullying policy. It offers scholarships to the people that pass the tests. Blaine and I's grades are both high enough to pass the tests. We'd like to go. We don't feel safe at McKinley anymore.'

Burt and Carole looked at Blaine's parents, Michael and Elizabeth, and they nodded. Elizabeth started to speak 'We want you boys to be safe. Whatever it takes. We'll phone the school and sort out all the paper work. We'll get you transferred as soon as we can.' Carole nodded 'And Burt and I will do the same for Kurt.'

Blaine turned to his parents with hopeful eyes and hugged them tightly, he whispered to them 'Thank you. I love you.' His parents nodded, surprised at Blaine speaking; he hadn't done so since the bullying started up again. While Blaine was hugging his parents, Kurt hugged his and said thank you.

Elizabeth stood 'We should go home, Michael.' Michael nodded and stood 'Are you coming, Blaine?' Blaine nodded and said quietly 'I just want to say good bye to Kurt.' Kurt stood at Blaine's words and said 'Come with me.' The two boys walked into the kitchen and Elizabeth and Carole shared a knowing glance. Michael and Burt looked between them and asked 'What?' Carole smiled and whispered 'They have feelings for each other.'

Burt's eyes widened and he started towards the kitchen, but Carole grabbed his arm 'No you don't, Burt Hummel. You leave them alone.' Burt sighed in resignation.

In the kitchen, Kurt and Blaine were holding hands, talking softly with each other, Kurt extremely happy that Blaine was talking again. Kurt squeezed his hand softly 'I'm glad we're transferring, Blaine. I just want us to be safe.' Blaine nodded and whispered 'Me too, Kurt. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you.'

Kurt raised one hand and brushed his thumb over Blaine's cheek, his hand cupping his cheek 'Nothing is going to happen to either of us. We'll get into Dalton, and we'll be safe again.'

Blaine's eyes bore into Kurt's, the two boys watching each other, leaning in closer unconsciously as they did so, until their lips gently met. Blaine's eyes widened but he soon relaxed into the kiss, holding onto Kurt's hand tighter. Kurt closed his eyes as they kissed, letting the swooping, happy feelings warm him, his thumb still gently stroking Blaine's cheek.

The two boys broke away from the kiss when they needed air, but both were smiling, their cheeks flushed with a slight blush. Kurt smiled at Blaine 'We can do this, Blaine. We can get past this, together.' Blaine nodded and smiled, leaning in to press a soft kiss against Kurt's lips again, and he whispered 'I love you, Kurt.' Kurt's smile widened and whispered against Blaine's lips 'I love you too, Blaine.' The two boys sunk into their embrace, wrapping their arms around each other, lips meeting again in a gentle, loving kiss.
