His first kiss. His first kiss stolen by the bully that haunts his nightmares. Karofsky wasn't even gay, was he? That was not how the boy imagined and wished it to be. He wanted Blaine to be the first and only boy to touch his lips to his.

Blaine.

Kurt was supposed to be meeting him at the Lima Bean after glee. He looked down at his phone and noticed that he had been standing frozen for almost an hour. Rehearsal would be done by now. No one had come looking for him. But his phone had a new text from Blaine.

From Blaine:
Hey Kurt! Missed you at practice, but Mercedes said you were probably sick. Let me know if we're still on for coffee or if you just want me to come over to keep you company ;) -Blaine xx

Kurt responded saying he would meet him at his house in 20 minutes. In the car, he contemplated telling Blaine what happened, but Karofsky's threat ran through his mind. He didn’t want Blaine to get hurt from his actions either. He knew as soon as he sets his sight on the other boy that the story would come pouring out of him. He pulled into his driveway and saw him sitting on his stoop.

"Hey! I ran you doorbell thinking you'd be home, where were you?" Blaine asked with a smile on his face.

As he predicted, Kurt broke down and fell into Blaine's arms. "Kurt, what's wrong? Darling what happened?" Blaine's frantic voice pounded its way into the other boys head.

Kurt handed Blaine his keys and the boys walked through the door and downstairs to Kurt's bedroom. Kurt sat on the bed with Blaine and felt himself being taken into a pair of strong arms. Blaine rocked him and whispered words of comfort as he cried. Blaine himself started tearing up seeing Kurt broken as he was. "Kurt honey, I'm here for you, you know that."

Blaine's words increased Kurt's tears because of how much emotion and sincerity he found in Blaine’s soothing voice. To think, an hour before the crying boy was imagining how he would tell Blaine that he was in love with him. Now he was crying into said boy’s shoulder, trying to catch his breath. 10 minutes later Kurt was finally calmed down enough to speak.

“Oh my god Blaine. I’m so sorry. I think I permanently stained your shirt.” Kurt managed to get out.

“It doesn’t matter. All that matters is that you’re ok. What’s wrong Kurt?”

Kurt took a few more calming breathes before he recounted what had happened in the locker room with Karofsky, leaving his parting threat out. “It just made me feel so dirty. That’s what is upsetting me the most. I was pretty much assaulted by the guy who torments me every day. This just seems like it was a new way for him to get under my skin, and I hate it. I hate him.”

Blaine had stayed silent throughout Kurt’s confession, and wore a look of concern and anger on his face. “Oh Kurt. I’m so sorry. That is absolutely horrible. I wish I could just go and find Karofsky and hurt him for what he did to you.”

“No Blaine. You can’t. There’s one thing I neglected to leave out, and I know you won’t like it.”

“What is it?”

“He threatened me. He told me that if I told anyone he would...”

“He would what? What would he do Kurt?” Blaine demanded.

“He would kill me.”

Blaine’s mouth fell open, but he was quick to close it again. “He couldn’t. He didn’t. He wouldn’t. Well if I didn’t want to hurt him before, I definitely do now. No one threatens the person that I lo- I mean my best friend.”

Kurt was too upset to overthink about Blaine’s almost slip-up. “Blaine, promise me you won’t do anything. You can’t do anything. I believe it’s an empty threat, but still I don’t want you getting hurt. Especially over me.”

“Kurt, I would do anything for you. Anything at all.”

“So you would go shopping with me all day?”

“I believe that I have done that already, and if I haven’t, yes I would.”

“Would you lie to my dad for me?” Kurt’s head started forming up reasons as to why he would have skipped glee, because he knew that Finn would have noticed and would bring it up at dinner later.

“Of course. I would so anything you wanted me to do. But why would I have to lie to your dad?” Blaine cocked his head to the side.

“Because he can’t know about what happened. You thought you wanted to murder Karofsky? My dad would hire an army to attack him if he knew. So he needs to think that I was sick, which is why I went home. I need you to help me sell that to him. He will believe you. I need you to tell him that in last period I got a really bad headache and you told me to go home.”

“Ok I will, but I still don’t feel good about it. I’m worried for you Kurt. I really am. I don’t want you getting hurt.” Blaine looked like he was on the verge of tears and that pained Kurt even more than he was already experiencing.

“Blaine, please don’t cry. Don’t waste your tears on me. I’m not worth it.”

“If you honestly think that, then you’re crazy. Of course you’re worth it.” Blaine told him rubbing his back in circles.

The boys stayed laying on the bed wrapped around each other talking nonsense until Burt came home. “Hey guys, Blaine, are you staying for dinner?” Burt asked.

“Sure Burt, that’d be wonderful, I’ll just let my parents know.”

The group sat down for dinner an hour later, as expected Finn asked Kurt why he skipped practice as soon as he sat down.

“Oh he wasn’t feeling well last period, I told him to go home and rest, and then after rehearsal I came here to check on him and make sure he was ok.” Blaine assured Burt.

After Blaine left that night, Kurt curled up in his bed and willed himself not to cry, although he thought that he had no more tears left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day at school, Blaine and Kurt walked into the building together, a united front. Throughout the day there was no sign of Karofsky lurking in the hallways. At glee, the boys overheard Puck telling Finn that Karofsky had transferred that day to a school in the town over.

“I can’t believe he would leave. Was he that scared I would say something?” Kurt expressed to Blaine when they were sitting in the Lima Bean after rehearsal.

“I guess he just thought the threat of discovery was too much to handle. At least he won’t be at McKinley to hurt you anymore. I can’t say that he will be missed by me.”

Leaving the coffee shop, Kurt and Blaine ran into Rachel entering, literally. “Oh hey guys! It’s a good thing I ran into you actually, I won’t have to text you now! But anyways, I’m having a party on Saturday and you’re both invited! It’s a glee member’s only thing! I hope you can come!” Rachel told them before galloping off again.

“What do you say Kurt? Ready to get your party on Saturday night?” Blaine asked with a large grin on his face.

Well, how could Kurt say no to those eyes and that smile?
