Blaine bit his lip, debating whether he should wake Kurt or not. He decided against it. Kurt had been angry when he went to bed, he didn't want to make him angrier.

But it wasn't anger… Kurt had been jealous…

Blaine groaned and threw his own blazer on the floor, but only loosened his tie, not having the energy to take it off.

He went to the bathroom and washed out the gel completely. And when he came out, hair wet, he just stood there aimlessly. He didn't know what to do.

He wanted to go to bed, but he didn't want to wake Kurt up by snuggling in with him. Plus… after what happened, he felt like that would be awkward.

And then he also wanted to think. About anything. But he didn't even have the energy for thinking.

He shuffled over to his own bed, and fell against it, not bothering to get under the covers. And, for the first time in months, fell asleep in his own bed.

He heard screaming. It was loud, and terrifying.

Blaine shot up immediately, his body automatically going through the practised motions that his sleep-addled brain hadn't caught up with yet.

He was already by Kurt's side, hugging him and running his hands up his arms and cupping his face in comfort, his lips muttering the words he knew would help.

It took Kurt a minute to calm down, and then he snuggled himself into Blaine's arms, still shaking lightly.

"Blaine? I'm so, so sorry-"

"You don't have to be sorry, Kurt." Blaine interrupted, rubbing his back consolingly. "It's not like I haven't done this before."

"No…" Kurt pulled away from the hug and looked into Blaine's warm, hazel eyes. Why wasn't he mad at him? "For… urm… embarrassing you in front of all your friends…"

Shocking them both, Blaine laughed.

"It's not like I haven't been embarrassed in front of them before… besides, last year, Jeff told everyone that Wes had been moaning out David's name in his sleep all night once. And there have been loads of stories of the guys like that. I promise you, it's okay."

Kurt smiled before throwing his arms around Blaine's neck. "I don't deserve to be forgiven that easily."

"There was nothing to forgive you for." Kurt smiled against Blaine's neck, squeezing his shut to stop the tears. And then he pulled away.

"Why are you such a good guy?"

Blaine never got to answer.

Kurt had leaned forwards and kissed him softly, holding him, being in control.

Blaine gasped at first, shocked, but he slowly returned the kiss, not taking the control, letting Kurt be the one who decides when to stop.

Their mouths moved together slowly, before Kurt tentatively pulled away, his cheeks slightly red, and biting his lower lip.

"Thank you." He murmured, before grabbing Blaine's hand and laying back down, pulling Blaine with him.

Blaine smiled and spooned him, keeping Kurt's hand in his grip.

Kurt had felt it again. Blaine was helping him so much. And that little kiss. It was helping him.

Even though he was getting better, he knew he'd always have the nightmares. Maybe not every single night, but they'd never truly leave him. And yeah, sometimes they'd be really bad. But he was okay with that.

As long as Blaine was there.

They were woken by a loud knock on the door the next morning, and Blaine got up to answer it while Kurt lay in bed. When he opened it, Jeff and Nick skipped into the room, smiling. Jeff came over and sat beside Kurt while Nick sat on Blaine's spinny chair, rolling it over to beside the bed.

"Guys! Please come in!" Blaine said sarcastically, shutting his door.

"It's okay!" said Jeff, opening up his arms for Kurt. Kurt smiled and sat up, snuggling into his arms.

"You're warm." He mumbled. Jeff smiled and rubbed his back.

Blaine yawned and sat down next to them, kicking at Nick's chair so it wheeled away. Blaine smirked as Nick scowled at him and moved back.

"We decided to come visit you, seeing as you decided to skip school today. Yet remain in your uniform…" Both Kurt and Blaine frowned.

"Skip school?" Blaine looked over at his clock, realizing they'd missed his alarm and it was an hour till lunch. "Oh…"

Nick and Jeff laughed at him.

"Soooo, we came to get you up for lunch. And also to tell you what happened yesterday."

"You don't have to!" Kurt said. "It's your business, not ours. We just helped out…"

"Exactly. We want you to know! We like you, Kurt. And you helped us. More than Blaine." Blaine scowled at Jeff. "I'm right Blaine, and you know it." Blaine continued to scowl though, but he eventually sighed and leaned a little into Kurt, letting his hand tangle with his, their fingers linking.

"So, basically, when you guys left, I went straight to see Nick. And we talked about it. We talked about are feelings and what happened. And then… we talked about the kiss. And how we felt about that kiss…"

"We found out that we both sort of… liked it. And after spending so long on our feelings, we just wanted to have some fun. So we left Dalton for a bit and just did a bunch of stuff. And when we came back, we talked about… what we are now…"

"We decided on friends."

"For now."

"Working on being more than that."

"And we've also decided that we're not going to come out yet. We're not ready."

Kurt smiled at them.

"That's so sweet guys. I'm happy for you. I'm glad you sorted everything out between you." He nuzzled slightly into Jeff. Jeff smiled and rested his head on Kurt's, smiling.

Blaine's realized that ever since he's found out about what happened, he and Kurt seem closer somehow. Maybe Jeff was getting a little protective, not as much as Blaine, but it was still noticeable. Blaine smiled, thankful to know someone else at Dalton who knew was looking out for him.

"Are we going to go to lunch yet? I'm hungry…" Nick said, spinning on the chair.

"Yeah sure. Do you guys want to go out for lunch? Just us four?" Jeff asked, rubbing Kurt's back.

"Sounds nice. But I need to change." Kurt gets up to change, going to his wardrobe and grabbing some clothes, that aren't sweats or t-shirts, and moves to the bathroom.

"He'll be a while; he'll do his hair too and put a bunch of creams on. But I need to make a phone call anyway. Feel free to wait for us." Blaine gets up and gets his phone out of his blazer pocket, picking up both blazers and placing them on his unmade bed. He scrolled through his contacts until he found who he wanted and pressed call. She answered after three rings.

"Well if it isn't my favourite brother."

"I'm your only brother, Layla."

"You can say that, only if that baby turns out to be a girl…"

"Oh yeah… I forgot that…"

"That's because it's unnatural for a whore her age. Anyway, why'd you call me? I'm studying…"

"Studying? Since when did you study?"

"Studying my food Blaine! This is a funny looking sandwich in front of me…"

Blaine snorts, shaking his head, and sat down on Kurt's bed beside Jeff.

"Anyway, this is an update. I came out."

"… WHAT!" Blaine had to move the phone away from his ear, and even Nick and Jeff heard.

"Layla! Calm down! Well, it started when I found out Quinn was cheating on me. So I came out in front of all her friends to make her look stupid. And then I kind… kissed Kurt-"

"Are you fucking crazy!"

"Laaaayla! Let me finish! Anyway, he slapped me after-"

"You deserved that…" Blaine just rolled his eyes.

"And we talked it out. And I'm fifty per cent sure he's getting better. And he kisses me occasionally, as long as he's in control…"

"Aww. That's adorable!"

"And then I came out to the Warblers, and Jeff and Nick told it to the whole school."

"Why? They're gay for each other!"

Blaine snorted again. "Oh you just wait for their story. They're in here right now, actually." He switched his phone onto speaker. "Hey guys, tell Layla what's happened recently!"

Nick and Jeff blushed before quickly spitting out their story, knowing they'd have to tell Layla sooner or later. And they trusted her not tell anyone.

"I KNEW IT!" She screamed, making the boys thankful it was on speaker.

"Who knew what?" Kurt asking coming into the room, his hair down and wearing skin-tight jeans and a nice shirt with a vest. Blaine's jaw dropped and he couldn't speak… Kurt looked beautiful.

"Layla knew we were gay."

"Layla? Anderson? Blaine's sister?" Kurt asks, smiling at Blaine's expression.

"That would be me! Who's this? I don't believe I've heard your voice before!"

"I'm Kurt-"

He was cut off by a scream from the other line. He shot the phone a confused look, as Blaine's dumbstruck look turned into one of embarrassment.

"OHMYGOD HI KURT!"

"You never told me that she was… loud."Kurt says to Blaine, smiling.

"Blainers talks about me? Aww sweet, bro. Anyway, this totally sucks that I'm meeting you like Kurt. Seriously, Blainers never stopped talking about you over the holidays. He was so worried and everything. It was adorable!"

"He talks about me?"

"Like you're some sort of god!"

Kurt blushes and Nick and Jeff snicker beside him.

"My finger is about to slip and hit the 'end call' button if you don't shut up!"

"Oh Blaine shush. I like her! She's fun! Besides, I know you like me. Explain the constant boners at night while you moan my name!"

"Oh my god Kurt shut up!" Blaine says, his eyes widening.

Kurt giggles and smiles at Blaine toothily.

"Oh god, you're adorable Kurt! And I'd love to stay and chat, but I really do have to go. You know, studying. My sandwich… bye!"

The phone made a clicking noise, and she was gone.
