Karofsky seems to be the center of all of their fights. Kurt keeps thinking that Karofsky has something to do with it. While Blaine keeps getting mad at Kurt for jumping to conclusions.

They were in the midst of an argument at the moment. Kurt looked straight in front of him, looking at the familiar path to work. He looked sheepishly out of the corner of his eye at Blaine.

Blaine's hands were wrapped tightly around the black steering wheel, his lips were pursed together tightly, and his eyes were narrowed angrily at the road.

"Blaine?" Kurt asked in a nervous, breathy voice.

"What Kurt?" Blaine sighed his body relaxing just a little.

"I'm sorry, I really am. I hate us fighting like this." Kurt nervously ran his fingers through his perfectly styled hair. "I'm just really scared. I'm scared and I really can't loose you."

Blaine pulled into the parking lot and shut off the car. He ran his hands through the dark curly hair and pulled on one of the strands. He turned his head to look at Kurt but than shook it no and opened the car door.

"Blaine please!" Kurt cried out, opening his own door and running out into the soft snow flurry. "Let's just talk."

Kurt ran after Blaine and grabbed his hand pulling him to a stop. Kurt spun him around and pulled him closer.

"Blaine I'm sorry, why can't you just forgive me. Let's just forget about the past few days, please." Kurt pleaded tugging on this hand.

"I just hate how much this is getting between us. All you ever talk about is the case or possible suspects and to be truthful it is super annoying." Blaine sighed tugging away his hand.

"I don't know if you haven't realized this or not but this isn't stupid little high school gossip. My life is involved!" Kurt yelled. He really didn't know what to do, why was Blaine being so difficult?

"I realize that, Kurt. You act like you think that I don't care. I do, I really care about you and your safety. You have been too busy to even realize that nothing has happened since you have moved into my apartment. You are completely safe! If your life was in immediate danger, trust me Kurt, I would be acting exactly like you and I would be doing anything I possible could to protect you. But at the moment, I am not seeing any serious signs of danger." Blaine reached out straightening out Kurt's coat collar.

"Okay, I'm sorry Blaine." Kurt said, his blue eyes wide. As much as he didn't agree with Blaine he could care less, Blaine was more important to him. "I understand."

"Thanks Kurt. I hope you do." Blaine sighed softly.

"I won't talk about the silly case."

"It's not silly."

Wait, what? Blaine just went on a huge rant on how Kurt was obsessing over the case and then he says it's not silly? This is why Kurt is always so confused with Blaine.

Oh! But who cares about how confusing Blaine was when he is looking at you like that. His deep hazel eyes staring back at you. Snow sprinkled all over his slightly gelled curls. A small smile crept onto his face as he reached out and grasped Kurt's hand. He pulled Kurt against his body and their lips met gently. Kurt's eyes fluttered shut as he pressed himself even closer to Blaine's warm body. This was the first time they have kissed since Kurt's melt down.

Kurt whimpered happily into Blaine's mouth wrapping his free hand around Blaine neck pulling him closer. Kurt traced a line across Blaine's lower lip begging for entrance. Blaine parted his lips allowing Kurt's tongue to dip inside and run over Blaine's teeth.

Blaine pulled away only enough to let his hot breath ghost over Kurt's parted lips, leaning his forehead against Kurt's. Kurt tried to steady his breathing as he leaned in again, pressing a soft kiss to Blaine's lips.

"As much as I want to stay out here in the cold and snow and keep kissing you, we should really go inside before we are late for work." Kurt smiled opening his eyes and pressing one more kiss onto Blaine's lips.

Kurt smiled as he looked into Blaine's open eyes. Blaine has a huge smile on his face as well. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's lower back.

"I don't want to move." Blaine whispered pressing another kiss of the corner of Kurt's lips.

"I know but we have to." Kurt laughed pulling away and holding out his glove covered hand for Blaine to take.

"What is wrong with me?" Blaine said in shock.

"What do you mean?" Kurt asks.

"I've been acting like a jerk to you for the last couple of days, Kurt. I am so sorry."

"It's okay Blaine we all make mistakes." Kurt said sincerely. "Don't worry about it."

As they walked closely together into their work building Blaine began speaking softly. "I said the case isn't silly because it isn't. It is very important, people's lives are involved. More importantly your life is involved and you have been harassed for weeks by whoever this person is. What I'm basically trying to say is that you don't even know if this is the same person or the same case! It could be just some strange coincident... I haven't lived in Lima, Ohio my whole life like you, but I'm going to guess that this is the first murder it has seen in a long time. Sure the people in Lima are horrible half the time and fights happen all the time but how many times have you heard on the news about someone, seven people, getting stalked and killed?"

He looked at Kurt, who actually understood what he was saying. Blaine was right Lima is a relatively safe place for anyone who isn't different in some sort of way. Completely perfect, straight, people know how safe Lima, Ohio is because they never got picked on at school or around town. They never got beaten up because they were different. The news channels rarely covered news on different people who were ever hurt or killed because there weren't that many. Kurt was the only out person at his high school and besides some people in the closet he was only one of the few gay people in Lima. So of course nothing like this has ever happened before.

Maybe someone was just trying to scare him and he wasn't in any danger at all. But then, explain how Sophia's murderer left a note promising the death of six others.

"Why don't you visit your dad after work? It will make you feel better." Asked Blaine. Kurt could tell that Blaine was worried about him, he could hear the worry in Blaine's voice and the way that his hand clutched tightly onto Kurt's.

"Will you come with me?" Kurt asked softly looking around him in the empty hallway they stopped in outside of their office.

"If you want me to." Blaine said hesitantly.

"I want you to." Kurt said smiling turning around and strutting to his desk. He was half way to his desk when he froze. Sitting at a desk near by was Dave Karofsky. Kurt's fingers wrapped protectively over the handle to his bag that was slung over his shoulder. He tried his best to conceal the shocked gasp that escaped his lips. It was no use, Kurt was positive Karofsky has heard him when his head snaps up and reveals Karofskys red rimmed eyes and glimmering wet cheeks.

"Kurt." Karofsky mumbled looking away and wiping at his face. Kurt gave him a quick nod and walked the rest of the way to his desk. He began shuffling through the papers that Schue placed on his desk for him trying his best to hide the growing fear within him. Karofsky didn't kill Sophia right? Why does it look like he has been crying for the last few days? Was it guilt? What was going on?

Kurt fought his distracting thoughts and tried to focus on his task. He dropped his head and rubbed at his tense neck. He heard quiet footsteps stop behind him and he felt their warm comforting touch on his back.

Blaine pulled his chair cover close to his own and placed a sure hand on his knee, "Are you okay."

Kurt removed his hands from his neck and turned to face Blaine's worried eyes. "Just shocked. You don't have to pretend to believe me you know."

"Believe you about what?" Blaine asked pulling out his own work and starting to neatly sign his name on each space needed.

"About Karofsky being some how involved in all of this." He explained.

"I still don't believe you, but I can tell how uncomfortable he makes you." Blaine countered.

"Yeah." Kurt sighed he needed to change the subject. "Schuester is not going to like us working together like this. He always seems to want to get us in a fight or something."

"He'll be fine. If he's not, I'll make him because I hate how he's always pinning us against each other. We get too competitive with each other." Blaine said in an annoyed voice.

"I hate this job. I always thought that I would be a big fashion designer or on broad way but that never happened." Kurt scoffed.

"Don't give up, it may still happen. Unlike my goal to save the world. The closest thing I can think of to save the world is being an environmental scientist or a teacher or something." Blaine smiled.

"Aw your goal is so adorable!" Kurt laughed bumping his shoulder against Blaine's.

"Kurt can I talk to you?" A deep voice interrupted. Kurt stopped laughing and turned to face the person. Kurt was actually surprised the see Karofsky standing in front of him.

Kurt looked to Blaine for help, should he talk to Karofsky? Blaine nodded in encouragement.

"Ok." Kurt answered.

"Let's go out into the hallway it's a little bit more private." Karofsky stated his eyes lingering to Blaine.

"Can Blaine come too?" Kurt asked.

"Er." Karofsky obviously didn't want anyone else to come, that was clear. This only make Kurt even more uncomfortable, something is just not right.

"It's okay, Kurt. He obviously doesn't want me to come. Just go." Blaine whispered. "You'll be fine."

"Fine." Kurt said he wrapped his fingers around Blaine's and squeezed. Kurt let go and stood up, now that he was standing up he could see how close Blaine really was sitting next to him. His heart fluttered either from Blaine's eagerness to be close or from nerves as he followed Karofsky out of the office and into the hallway.

Kurt stood in front of Karofsky standing straight with his arms crossed over his chest. He tried to appear as annoyed as possible, but it was extremely difficult to disguise his fear. His blue eyes burned into Karofsky who was leaning against the far wall staring down at his shoes. He seemed ashamed or maybe nervous, whatever it was, Kurt was having a hard time reading it.

The longer Karofsky took to speak the more scary Kurt’s imagination became. Eventually he couldn’t take it any longer, he had himself so worked up and honestly freaked out. “What do you want?”

Karofsky’s head shot up and his eyes met Kurt’s. “I…uh… I don’t know why I’m telling you this but I…I have to tell someone.”

Kurt nodded to him to continue.

“Have you heard about the girl who got murdered over by Winter Road? Her name was Sophia Lahela.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it.” Kurt tried his best to contain his excess knowledge and excitement as it confirmed his suspicions. This is what he has been waiting for, anything to relate Karofsky to the murder, because he is positive he has something to do with this.

“Well I used to go to high school with her. I’m from Ada, Ohio.” Karofsky explained.

“I’m sorry.” replied Kurt, he honestly didn’t know what else to say. That was all Karofsky had to say? Why did he drag him out here and not let Blaine come? There must be more, because this is just way to insignificant.

“There’s more. I used to bully her real bad back in high school. Well it wasn’t just me, and I wasn’t as bad to her as, say, some of the other girls. When I was in high school I was a bully, but I rarely hit girls, no matter what. Some of the things I did to her, though, I’m not proud of. She was tormented in high school. She was on suicide watch her Senior year.”

Kurt picked nervously at his sleeve, “Why are you telling me this?”

“I don’t know who else to go to. I don’t have any friends from high school, well none that I would want to talk to. I grew out of my bully years, they unfortunately did not, and they don’t accept who I am any more. I guess I trust you.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know, maybe… maybe it’s because I like you.” Karofsky said quietly looking away.

Kurt gasped, he knew Karofksy was gay! He could now rub one fact that he was right about in Blaine’s face. “I…uh…I’m still confused about what you are telling me. Is the only point to this story is that you used to bully this poor girl who just recently got murdered?”

Karofsky’s face twisted into confusion because of the way Kurt ignored his confession. “No…there is more to the story. I guess I just really feel guilty. Like this is all my fault. Also, I never got to apologize to Sophia.”

“How could this be your fault? You didn’t physically kill her, did you?” Kurt asked cautiously. He was afraid of the possible response. Even if Karofsky did kill her, he wouldn’t tell Kurt that easily, right?

“I…uh…no, no I didn’t kill her, but I just have guilt for making her life hell and never apologizing to her.”

Kurt stared at him for a few seconds trying to study his demeanor. Nothing was making sense. He still doesn’t understand why, he is telling him this. Why Kurt?

“I’m sorry, Dave, I don’t know what you expect me to do about this.” Kurt said and with that he spun around and walked back into the office. Hopefully Will would be okay, with Kurt and Blaine going out to coffee, because Kurt really needs to talk to Blaine.
