Two weeks went by of pure hell. School was awful. Kurt couldn't even count the marks he had all over his body from being thrown into the dumpsters and shoved into the lockers. He had to throw away some clothes because the jocks decided that purple slushy looked better on them.
And then there was glee club. Even the thought made him shiver. After that day, he was ignored by all of them except Santana, Puck and Britt who stood by his side through it all.
Kurt was tired of everything going around. Home wasn't much easier. Finn glared at him the whole time and the tension in the house was really heavy. His dad had looked at him a few times with a look that asked “everything ok bud?” but he couldn't tell them. His dad was happy and he didn't need to worry about his problems after all.
Even though life seemed hell right now, there was this one point of light, Blaine. Kurt had fallen more and more for him in the past few weeks. They had stayed up late at night, talking, singing, watching a movie together and so on and while it wasn't perfect, it was more than enough for Kurt as long as he had Blaine.
It was on a Monday that things changed. It was a fairly normal day. Kurt had stood up, pulled on clothes, ate breakfast, drove to school, followed classes and changed his clothes twice thanks to the slushies.
He walked into Glee club, wearing his third outfit and took his seat next to Santana, Brittany and Puck. They looked at him with sad eyes. Kurt knew how much they hated it that Kurt would have to take clothes to school because of the slushies and Kurt understood that they couldn't always be there for him. At least they helped him when they could.
He greeted them, trying to smile. Britt stood up and wrapped her arms around him. “Hi dolphin.”
Kurt smiled a genuine smile and wrapped his arms around her. “Hi Britt.”
He unwrapped himself carefully and listened how Britt was talking about the unicorn she apparently saw in the hallways.
Puck next to him was silently shaking from laughing.
Kurt shook his head and looked in front of him. It was that moment that Mr. schuester walked into the room.
He started talking enthusiastically about some new assignment. Kurt gave up listening as soon as the words boys versus girls left the man his lips.
Lost into thoughts about how amazing L.A. he had been, he didn't hear the knock on the door.
It wasn't until Puck gave him a shove and he heard some gasps around him that he looked up and saw someone he didn't except to see so soon again.
“Hello everyone,” said the charming voice.
And then Kurt jumped up and ran into the open arms.
Blaine started laughing as he held Kurt close. “Miss me?” he asked a little cocky.
Kurt slapped him playfully. “Maybe,” he smiled before he leaned in and pressed his lips against Blaine's.
They stayed like that, enjoying the moment until Santana screamed in the back: “wanky wanky Hummel.”
Kurt started laughing and unwrapped himself out of the hug. His hand found Blaine's as he walked towards Santana, Puck and Britt.
Blaine looked confused but didn't say a thing.
“Blaine, this is Puck, Santana and Brittany. Guys this is Blaine.”
Santana stood up and looked at Blaine from head to toe. “So you are the hot piece of ass Hummel can't shut up about. You are a little short though. Nice to meet you hobbit.”
Kurt face palmed himself next to Blaine. “Seriously Santana?”
“Porcelain don't whine about it,” she said.
Kurt sighed but didn't say anything more.
Puck fist bumped Blaine. “Nice to meet you man.”
Blaine nodded at him. And then Britt stood up and walked towards him. She started hugging him. Blaine tried to hug her back awkwardly while holding Kurt's hand, not wanting to let go.
Brittany let go and looked at him with big eyes. “You are Kurt's dolphin?”
Kurt started laughing at Blaine's face. “Yes Britt he's my dolphin.”
Brittany nodded and looked back at Blaine, obviously missing the look of being confused on it. “Thank you for making my dolphin happy again,” was all she said before sitting down again.
Blaine looked at Kurt but he just shrugged and took his seat again. Blaine laughed when Kurt signed for him to sit on his lap. He took a seat and sighed happily when Kurt wrapped his arms around his waist.
“So why are you here?” he asked to Blaine.
Blaine turned around. “I have a week free and I missed you so I took the plane and well I'm here now,” he said.
Kurt grinned. “Thank you.”
Blaine pressed a kiss on his forehead.
They were so wrapped into each other that they forget for a moment about the others around them. That was until hell broke loose.
“What the hell Kurt, you aren't going to introduce us?” said Finn, the irritation in his voice more than clear.
Kurt shrugged and looked at him. “It's not like you've all been talking to me for the past two weeks. I don't see the point.”
“I'm your stepbrother!” screamed Finn.
“Well maybe you should start acting like one before you start screaming to me!” screamed Kurt back.
Blaine started to rub comforting circles on Kurt's back. “What's going on Kurt?”
Kurt looked at Blaine. He sighed before he started to speak. “We should get going, I tell you once we are out of here.”
Blaine stood up and held out his hand for Kurt to take. They were about to walk out of the room when Rachel run up behind them and pushed Kurt harshly out of the way. Kurt didn't see it coming and fell against the door. A painful sigh escaped his lips.
Blaine turned around, clearly angry. “What the hell! I don't know your name but seriously that wasn't needed!”
He kneeled on the ground so he was on eye level of Kurt. “Are you ok?”
Kurt nodded. “Yeah, I'll be fine. Let's get out of here.”
Blaine helped him up and neither of them looked back as they walked out of the room, ignoring the screams and the Spanish words that clearly belonged to Santana.
Kurt was sitting on his bed. His arms were wrapped around his legs as Blaine placed his bag on the floor next to the bed. Blaine walked towards him and carefully sat next to him.
“Kurt,” he almost whispered. “Can you please tell me what's going on? I don't know what happened earlier but that looked nasty.”
Kurt looked up at him. “It's a long story.”
“I've time and you know it. Listen Kurt, I won't pressure you in telling what's going on but I just wish you would trust me and tell me these things. I know it isn't easy for us to be together with the whole distance thing but I thought we made it work pretty well? And then I come here and I clearly missed something so I wonder why you don't trust me Kurt,” Blaine said almost broken.
“It started when I came back,” started Kurt. “People saw me with you and I guess they just got jealous because I got for once to be happy. I introduced you only to Santana, Brittany and Puck because they are the only ones who don't really care about you being famous, they are happy that I'm finally happy and well they are the only ones who come up for me when I'm being bullied and they see it. The others were only thinking about you being famous. The day I went back to school, we went to this park and spend some time together, it's something we've been doing for quite some time. Everything went fine until Rachel, the girls who pushed me earlier, started talking about me giving your number so she could make an album with you and go on tour and so on. I told her I would never give her your number and she kind of got mad like the others. They called me egoistic and that I had “my fame” so they could use you now. So I left when things got worse. Santana, Puck and Brittany left with me. Since I've only been talking with them as they are the only ones who aren't wanting something from me I guess.”
Blaine looked at Kurt, anger evident in his eyes. “They seriously did that?”
Kurt nodded. “Yeah.”
It looked for a moment like Blaine was about to run out of Kurt's room after the people he used to call his friends but then something changed in his eyes. “I'm sorry I wasn't there Kurt. I wished you just had told me,” whispered Blaine. He looked down and started playing with Kurt's hand he was holding. “If you had told me, I would have taken the first plane back, hell I would have walked here if you needed me.”
Kurt felt a small smile form on his face. He made Blaine look up with his other hand. “I know you would, I just don't want you to worry I guess.” He leaned forward and kissed him softly.
Kurt felt how Blaine slowly started to lean backwards, pulling Kurt with him. Blaine's hand made his way down Kurt's back when Kurt hissed in pain and sat up.
“Kurt?” asked Blaine worriedly.
Kurt's face started to turn red. Blaine's hand slowly reached towards the hem of Kurt's shirt and raised it up a little. His back was full of marks, some still looking fresh, others looked like they might have been there for days.
Blaine took a deep intake of breath. “Kurt,” he whispered as his fingers followed a few of the marks carefully. “What happened?”
Kurt shivered a little when he felt Blaine's fingers on his back. “Dumpster tosses, locker shoves, just being bullied,” he said so quiet that Blaine almost didn't catch it.
Blaine sat up and took Kurt's face into his hands. “If I could I would take you right back this second with me to L.A. But I know it's not an option right now, so please let me help you. We need to talk about this with someone. I can't go back to L.A. when I know about all of this Kurt.”
Kurt nodded. “I know. I'm sorry I didn't tell you Blaine.”
And then he broke down. Blaine started to sooth him, wondering if it was the first time Kurt let it all out. He felt Kurt shake in his arms. He tried to calm him down by rubbing comforting circles on his back ,carefully trying to keep away from the marks on his back. The only sound in the room where Blaine's words that were whispered in Kurt's way, trying to comfort him and the heartbreaking sobs leaving Kurt's body.
It only made Blaine more determined that he wasn't leaving before he knew Kurt was safe and happy.
