As soon as Kurt closed Rachel's bedroom door he completely broke down.
"Kurt, are you okay?" Quinn asked, running out of the room that she and Rachel were occupying moments before.
"What the hell did I just do?" Kurt cried, sitting on the floor against the wall and digging his palms into his eyes to try and stop the tears that just wouldn't stop flowing.
"Hey, hey, calm down, what happened?"
"I-I told him that h-he...c-couldn't fix it, Quinn. What have I d-done?" Kurt asked, looking at his best friend through extremely teary eyes.
"Oh Kurt," Quinn cooed, holding her best friend as tight as she could.
It wasn't so easy for Rachel to comfort Blaine, however.
"Blaine, are you okay?" Rachel asked gently as she entered the room after helping Quinn get Kurt back on his feet.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I'm not okay!" Blaine cried.
"What happened?"
"I told him, and I asked him how I could fix it and he said I couldn't. I can't do anything! I've lost him and it's all my stupid fault!" Blaine almost screamed.
"Blaine you need to calm down, you're starting to scare me."
"I can't calm down Rachel! I feel like I can't breathe right now, I can't believe I was such an idiot!"
Rachel listened to Blaine screaming and crying for a good ten minutes before grabbing his arms and forcing him into a hug, which resulted in Blaine crying even harder until he eventually fell asleep in his best friends arms.
When Kurt woke up the next morning he was confused as hell. The last thing he remembered was leaving Rachel's bedroom then bursting into tears. He didn't remember leaving Rachel's house, he didn't remember getting on the bus, he didn't remember getting home, he didn't remember getting into bed and he definitely didn't remember Quinn sleeping over.
"Hey," Quinn said softly, brushing some stray hair out of Kurt's eyes. "How do you feel?"
"What happened last night?" Kurt asked, blatantly ignoring Quinn's question. "All I remember is you hugging me while I cried, everything else is blurry."
"I'm not surprised, you were a mess. I got Rachel to help me get you up then I bought you here where your dad proceeded to get extremely mad for letting you go talk to Blaine and then helped me get you into bed and asked if I could stay to make sure you were okay."
"Well that was a waste of time because I'm anything but okay," Kurt said honestly. "I can't believe I did that, Quinn."
"You could always go back and talk to him."
"I can't. I can't just let him back in, he hurt me. Telling me why isn't enough to make it okay I just don't know why I was stupid enough to say he couldn't fix it."
"Do you want him back?"
"Of course I do," Kurt groaned. "I love him more than anything but it's not as simple as that."
"If it's any constellation Rachel told me that Blaine practically hates himself for what he did to you."
"Not really, but thanks."
"Okay, well I need to go home and get ready for school. Are you coming in?"
"Yeah," Kurt nodded. "I'll drive myself crazy if I stay here all day."
"Go get ready then, you can come with me."
Blaine, on the other hand, had been all but dragged to school by one Miss Rachel Berry.
"I can't believe you made me come in today." Blaine groaned, hitting his head against his locker door.
"Did you really think I was just going to let you mope around and feel sorry for yourself all day?"
"Who are you, my mother?"
"Might as well be, now go to class." Rachel demanded, shoving Blaine's books into his hands and slamming his locker door shut.
"Yes, boss." Blaine deadpanned before making his way to class.
"Quinn, I don't need a bodyguard for crying out loud! I'm capable of going to the toilet by myself."
"Too much?" Quinn asked.
"Just a bit," Kurt replied teasingly.
"Okay, fine, I'll meet you at lunch."
"Thank you," Kurt laughed. "Now go, I'll be fine." And with that, Quinn finally left and Kurt began to make his way to the bathroom, although he began to regret his decision as soon as he did...
"Rachel, please stop following me." Blaine groaned.
"I'm just making sure you're okay Blainers."
"Well do you mind not making sure I'm okay for a few minutes because I really need to pee and I don't think I or any of the other guys in this school would be comfortable with you being in the boy's bathroom."
"Okay, fine, go."
"Thank you!" Blaine sighed in relief and ran into the bathroom, but he was not expecting to see what he did... "Kurt? What the hell, leave him alone!" Blaine shouted. All Blaine could see was a jock holding Kurt up against the wall and from what it looked like, he'd already hit Kurt at least once.
"Blaine, go away." Kurt said in a strangled tone.
"I think you should listen to your little boyfriend here." The jock teased with a smirk on his face.
"Please." Kurt all but begged.
"I'm not going anywhere until he leaves you alone." Blaine said pointedly.
"You know what? You two aren't even worth it." He sneered, jabbing Kurt hard in the stomach with his fist before leaving the bathroom.
"Kurt, are you okay?" Blaine asked, rushing to Kurt's side when he fell to the ground clutching his stomach. "Your nose is bleeding, hold on," He said, running into one of the cubicles to get tissue before returning and holding it gently to Kurt's nose. "Here."
"Thank you." Kurt said, taking the tissue and applying a little more pressure.
"You're shaking," Blaine said, automatically enveloping Kurt in a hug. "Sorry, I-I," He stuttered, pulling back and backing away to the door.
"Please don't leave me." Kurt said quietly, sounding so small and scared.
"Are you sure? I can get Quinn or..."
"Please?"
"Okay," Blaine said simply, sitting back down next to Kurt. "What do you want me to do?"
"I don't know." Kurt cried, tears finally falling down his face as Blaine took the trembling boy into his arms.
The two boys stayed there for a large amount of time; Blaine holding Kurt as he cried in his arms until eventually the tears subsided and Blaine was just comforting the boy he loved.
"You okay?" Blaine asked gently, sighing when Kurt shook his head the best he could from where it was buried in Blaine's chest. A few moments later Blaine heard his phone going off, so he dug it out of his pocket groaned when he saw the caller ID.
"Hey, Rach,"
"Where the hell are you!? I left you to go the bathroom and I haven't seen you since!"
"I'm uh...kind of still in here."
"Why are you still in the bathroom? Ew you're not using the toilet while you're on the phone to me are you?"
"Ew, no! I uh...it's kind of hard to explain."
"What could be that difficult to explain?"
"I'm...I'm with Kurt." He said, looking down at the boy who seemed to be mauling the older teens T-Shirt.
"YOU'RE WHAT!?" Rachel suddenly screamed down the phone.
"Ouch! Please do not do that again or I will hang up on you."
"Sorry I just...why are you with Kurt?"
"I um..." He stuttered, and then mouthed 'Can I tell her?' to the younger teen who nodded in response. "When I came in here I saw some jock harassing him."
"Again!? What happened?"
"All I saw was Kurt being held against the wall and the jock punched him in the stomach before he left but Kurt's nose was...still is bleeding."
"Why won't those idiots leave him alone?"
"I don't know but he's pretty shaken, that's why I'm still here."
"Do you need me to get Quinn or something?"
"I don't know hold on," He said to Rachel before asking Kurt gently if he wanted Quinn, to which he replied no. "Um, he said no."
"What are you gonna do? You can't just stay in there all day..."
"I don't know but at the moment all I care about is if he's okay."
"Okay just...call me if you need anything."
"I will. Bye Rachel."
"Bye."
He hung up the phone, slipped it back in his pocket and shifted Kurt's weight so that he was somewhat in a sitting position.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Blaine asked softly as Kurt wiped at his eyes.
"I don't wanna go home."
"What do you want to do then? We can't sit in the bathroom all day."
"I don't know, can we just go somewhere and talk? Or not talk, we can sit in silence for all I care I just really don't want to be by myself right now."
"Hey, it's okay," Blaine said reassuringly. "I won't leave you until you ask me to, okay?"
"Thank you." Kurt said shakily.
"How's your stomach?" Blaine asked as he gently eased the younger teen off the floor.
"It hurts but not as bad...I had no idea people could hit that hard."
"Are you okay to walk for a bit? I know somewhere we can go, it's not far but it's not really worth me driving there."
"Yeah I'll be okay."
"Okay, let's go now before people are in class and it's hard to sneak out. I also can't believe I'm encouraging skipping school."
"Such a terrible role model," Kurt teased as he and Blaine left the bathroom.
"That's me," Blaine laughed. "Come on."
It turned out that Blaine's idea was for them to go to a small park just around the corner from school. They were sitting on the swings, not really swinging, just rocking back and forth slightly.
"You okay? You seem extra quiet since we got here." Blaine asked, stopping his swing from moving completely so that he could properly look at Kurt.
"Yeah I just...I used to come here with my mum a lot."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I had no idea."
"It's fine, I just haven't been here in a while."
"Do you wanna go somewhere else?"
"No, I'm okay, I swear."
"Okay, just tell me if you want to go and we will," Blaine replied as Kurt nodded in response, wrapping his arms around himself. "Cold?"
"A little."
"Here," Blaine said, unzipping his bag and pulling out a hoodie before passing it to the shivering boy. "And before you argue with me, like I know you're about to, I'm already wearing a jacket and I will literally pull this over your head myself if you refuse to put it on."
"Okay, okay!" Kurt laughed, throwing his hands up in surrender before taking the hoodie from Blaine's hands and putting it on. "Happy now?"
"Very." Blaine said, smiling at Kurt.
"You're such a dork." Kurt said, smiling back at the older teen, whose face suddenly dropped with the realisation of what Kurt just said.
"Kurt...I'm so sorry."
"I know. And I'm trying really hard to forgive you but I just need more time."
"I promise I'm gonna fix this. I don't care how long it takes or what I have to do to get you back but I'm gonna make it up to you." Blaine said honestly and not missing the way Kurt took a deep breath before replying.
"I believe you," Kurt replied, smiling at Blaine again. "And I'm sorry too, for last night. I snapped when I should've actually spoken to you. I was just upset and hurt and I honestly wasn't thinking properly. I regretted it as soon as I said it to be honest."
"I don't blame you. I'd be a hypocrite if I thought you should've spoken to me instead of snapping considering I wouldn't tell you my reason for breaking up with you. And just for the record, I regret that too, a lot."
"I know. I realised that after I saw how much it was hurting you as well, and that's partly why I'm trying so hard to forgive you."
"Thank you," Blaine choked out. "I really don't understand what I did to deserve you."
"I really wanna hug you but I'm injured, come here." Kurt said, making grabby hands towards Blaine who walked over to Kurt and fell gratefully into the embrace of the boy he loved more than anything.
