True to Blaine’s word – one phone call to Sue Sylvester from Burt, and she at once called Dalton about letting Kurt be transferred; McKinley would help pay for Kurt’s dorm. She sounded disappointed on the phone because in order to help pay for Kurt she had to sacrifice her precious cannon that she had hired for her competition but she did end up saying she was sorry for what Kurt had gone through – what she would need a cannon for was beyond their imagination but Burt was satisfied and he was even in such a good mood that he agreed to let Kurt dorm with Blaine.

Turns out David’s room-mate was moving to another school so Wes was going to room with him, and it worked out well. 

Blaine was looking surprisingly well despite the events that happened the day before. Him and Kurt pretty much slept the afternoon and night away. Kurt had falling asleep with Blaine on the couch when they got up to watch a movie, while his mother and Burt made dinner.

They let them stay there for a couple of hours until eventually they woke them at 4 to eat something.

"Dad I'm okay, don't leave the driving too late to go back to Lima, I know how long it takes," Kurt added when Burt asked for the 100th time if there was anything he could do. Blaine also agreed "Mom same goes to you, were fine, and at least you can trust Dalton security, although they aren't as fast as  Mr....Burt," Blaine grinned. Burt rolled his eyes. Blaine still found it hard not to call him Mr Hummel, but like his mom with Kurt, he had to try.

Burt and Pam left after they made sure Kurt and Blaine had everything they needed. The two were still on the couch when they left and the two were too exhausted to do anything but cuddle but it was nice. Kurt had his back to the couch since he was the tallest.

Kurt was the first to wake up with the smell of pancakes cooking and by moving he unfortunately woke Blaine up as well. Blaine gave Kurt a kiss on the lips and whispered “Morning,” which is when Kurt noticed Carole was in the kitchen cooking. “Carole!” He called with a pleasant surprise. 

 It was great having these mini kitchens in the dorm, the only issue being was that there was only one fry pan so it took longer for Carole to cook pancakes, and she couldn’t come over and hug Kurt like she wanted to. “Good morning boys, I hope you don’t mind, I thought it’d be nice to make breakfast for you too,”

“Of course not Carole, it’s lovely to meet you at last,” Blaine added and Carole smiled at Blaine “You too Blaine, I’ve heard so much about you,”

Finn came in then with Burt. “We went for a walk,” Burt added when Kurt ran to him to give him a hug. He never got tired of hugging his father now he had him back in his life. He also hugged Finn “You’re staying for breakfast then?” 

“Of  course we are,” Finn told and he nodded a hello at Blaine. Blaine wasn’t sure if Finn liked him or not because he didn’t really acknowledge him.

It was such a lovely reunion to watch. Blaine was even welcomed into the group hug and they talked while they ate their pancakes. Their guest were wearing guest badges like you always had to when entering Dalton if not a student, Blaine liked them a lot and although Finn slightly intimidating, he was nice, or so what he could make out so far it was obvious from the way he talked with Kurt he was a good brother. 

In that same morning Kurt caught up with his friends after Carole gave him his phone which he had been lacking since being on the streets. He had dropped it when running out of the school and Mercedes had been keeping it for safe keeping.

He cried again when he talked to Mercedes and Rachel and Kurt laughed more than once when talking to Puck, Mike and Artie.

Kurt even got an emotional phone call from his old teacher Mr Schue. He was so disappointed in himself for not looking out for Kurt more than he had, and he apologised over and over. “It’s okay Mr Schue, it’s not like I asked you for help in the first place, you were busy with a lot of things, I don’t blame you, I don’t blame anyone but Karofsky,”

Blaine had his arm around Kurt’s waist stroking the side he could touch. Kurt didn’t move away. Carole was trying to hide her grin. Burt was too happy to care to even try and hide it but when Finn had looked at him he felt a little hesitant and unsure, he had just kept it there without the stroking and blushed but he didn’t move his arm. Finn wasn’t going to scare him that much. When Kurt finished the phone call Blaine let go of Kurt only because he sat down next to him.

“Now I want you home for Friday night dinners,” Burt told Kurt who was beaming at all the news. “Blaine and his mom is welcomed too,” His new school uniform arrived and he was already wearing it, glad to have his own set of clothes for once.

“I love you so much dad,” Kurt hugged him and Burt ruffled his hair “Dad!” Kurt protested Burt laughed “I love you too Kurt, Blaine thank you again son- ” Blaine was also given a massive hug from Burt. "Your welcomed sir," Burt groaned shaking his head. Kurt giggled.

Carole hugged Kurt and Blaine too and kissed their cheeks. Finn hugged Kurt and handed out a hand to Blaine. At first Blaine hadn’t been sure if Finn liked him or not, his eyes widened surprised to see the hand as he had been quiet and took it drawing a smile.

Finn smiled back “Thanks for looking after my bro,” Kurt rolled his eyes affectionately at Finn and shook his head at the word bro 

When they were left to themselves. Blaine and Kurt tried to return to watching tv but they stealing glances at each offer and eventually Kurt went to make a comment about the movie but Blaine used the opportunity while he had the chance leaned over and kissed Kurt passionately surprising Kurt. Kurt went to cup his cheek but by doing that he made Blaine wincec as some of his palm came in contact with the jaw Karofsky had punched. There was a bruise there now.

“Sorry,” Kurt instantly regretted it but Blaine brought his hand over his that was starting to pull away “It’s not your fault…just maybe try the other side yeah?”

Kurt instantly kissed the jaw and used his right hand to cup his right side like Blaine suggested “My dad’s right, you are brave Blaine I don’t think I could have handled it the way you did,” Blaine shook his head. 

 “I’m not brave, I was terrified. I know what it’s like to be beaten. I told you about the time bullies beat me up to the point I was in hospital? Well I was prepared to expect that again but worse, I actually thought he’d kill me,”

He reached out to touch Kurt’s cheek.  “And then the thought of not seeing you again made me realise just exactly how short life is,” As an afterthought his eyes widened “I missed the Warblers meeting!”

Kurt hushed him with a kiss “They came looking for you yesterday when they realised that you didn’t show, I told them that you were in no condition to go to the meeting and they found out about Karofsky when they asked what your mother was doing there, they cancelled the meeting immediately,”

Blaine sighed “I have to do something about the Warblers soon, I haven’t been paying much attention to them,”

 Kurt played with a curl that escaped the massive amounts of gel “They understand Blaine,”

“I’m so glad you’re safe,” Blaine whispered leaning in to kiss him again “Now you’re a free man Mr Hummel,"

“Argh, don’t call me that, I’m not old,” Blaine chuckled.  “It’s all thanks to you,” Kurt whispered trailing his cheek carefully. “Blaine can I ask something?”

Blaine blinked but nodded “Okay?” Kurt turned very serious and looked slightly anxious. Blaine grabbed his hand worried. 

“I…I  don’t know how you are feeling right now about all this, and maybe it’s too soon…and maybe it won’t last but Blaine, I can’t imagine my life without you now,”

Blaine smiled. Kurt grabbed both his hands then and squeezed them.

“I think this all happened so that you would see me that day in the supermarket I don’t know. I want to do this properly...start from the beginning you know? I’ll be able to go home and eat dinner with my family again and I’m just so happy Blaine, everything is working out thanks to you and when I do…I’ll be able to access my old wardrobe again and actually wear nice clothes, this isn’t going the way I wanted it to go…why is this so hard,” 

Blaine waited patiently, because obviously Kurt was finding this difficult. He brought one of his hands up to his lips and kissed it. That must have helped somewhat because he watched Kurt’s shoulders relax as he smiled at Blaine. He took a deep breath and held tightly to both Blaine’s hands squeezing them. Blaine squeezed back. “What I’m trying to ask is…”

Kurt closed his eyes for a minute and then opened them “Will you go on a date with me?” 

Blaine gaped at him “A…what?”

“Will you go …on a date with me? As in…an actual date…we can go to the movies or…a theme park or I don’t know to the shopping mall for all I care, I just…I really want to spend more time with you,” 

Blaine was speechless. He was aware he was staring and hadn’t said anything but….a date

“You don’t want to go on a date with me?” Kurt pulled his hands away “I mean it’s okay I understand…but”

Blaine finally blinked from his shock and instantly grabbed Kurt’s hands once again and pulled him in to him kiss his fears away. “Of course I want to go on a date with you,” Blaine finally let out and was actually beaming. Kurt looked shyly at him and was blushing under his intense gaze. 

“And I don’t care what we do either, I’ll have fun because I’m with you,” Kurt clapped his hands and the way he looked up at the ceiling as though thanking whatever was listening to him made him want to do a happy dance.

“Only one thing,” Kurt said sounding serious again as Blaine immediately listened “What is it?” 

“You’re not wearing that blazer,” Blaine laughed. He couldn’t help but kiss him again and grinned as he then wiggled his eyebrow at Kurt fixing his lapel

“We talked about this Kurt, you love the blazer. Besides you’re one of us now, you can’t knock it …and…it does let me do this,” Kurt screeched as Blaine grabbed his tie and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
