Kurt stared at the screen impatiently waiting for his messenger account to finish signing in. Once it finished he scanned his contacts, finding the name he was looking for.

Kurt: Hey

Blaine: Hey Kurt! Good day at school?

Kurt: No

Blaine: Oh :(. Want to talk about it?

Kurt: Yes... but I don't want to be a pain. I'm sure you have better things to do then listen to a stranger whine about their life

Blaine: I'm a multi-tasker remember? I can listen to you and ignore my homework at the same time

Kurt: Ok. Well, remember I told you about having a hard time at school?

Blaine: I remember

Kurt: There is this one Neanderthal who has made it his mission to make my life a living hell

Blaine: What does he do?

Kurt: It started out with just the normal stuff, throwing drinks, shoving into lockers, homophobic names..

Blaine: Kurt, there is nothing normal about that

Kurt: At my school it is

Blaine: Overlooking just how terrible that is, what happened today?

Kurt: He pushed me and I must have lost my mind because I chased after him into the empty locker room

Blaine: Maybe not the best idea... then what happened?

Kurt: It's weird telling you this but I don't think I can tell anyone else

Blaine: Did he hurt you?

Kurt: He kissed me

Kurt: Um, you still there?

Blaine: Yes, still here. He kissed you?

Kurt: Yea...

Blaine: And uh, do you like him?

Kurt: Did you miss the bit about him making my life a living hell?

Blaine: I know, I'm just trying to understand the context of the kiss

Kurt: The context is I was bracing myself for a punch in the face and he kissed me instead!

Blaine: What did you do?

Kurt: I pushed him away obviously! Then he ran out

Blaine: He just ran?

Kurt: Yep

Blaine: What are you going to do?

Kurt: I honestly have no idea, A part of me just want to tell everyone, let him feel the same humiliation he's made me feel

Blaine: Well that is one option

Kurt: That's not me though. As horrible as he is I couldn't do that to him

Blaine: It sounds like he would deserve it but I'm glad you're not stooping to his level

Kurt: That's why I can't tell anyone. My friends aren't well known for being able to keep secrets

Blaine: I understand, it's a horrible position to be in

Kurt: If it was you... what would you do?

Blaine: I think I would talk to him, it sounds like he may be confused and that's probably why he's lashing out at you in the first place

Kurt: Maybe I'll try that then but I don't think he will listen

Blaine: I wish I could help somehow

Kurt: You are helping, I don't think anyone else would understand

Blaine: Well then I'm glad I could help

Kurt: It's nice of you, I can't be much fun to talk to

Blaine: Still much more fun than doing my homework, I assure you

Kurt: Lol, you're welcome

Blaine: In all seriousness though, are you ok?

Kurt: Better now, but you know what the worst thing is?

Blaine: What?

Kurt: Until today I had never been kissed, not one that counted anyway

Blaine: That really sucks

Kurt: Ok I'm going to stop being depressing now, how are you?

Blaine: I am fabulous, and you're not depressing at all

Kurt: My dad is going to be home soon, I should start dinner before he tries to order take-out

Blaine: Ok, I'll be online later if you're around.

Kurt: Bye!

Kurt signed out of MSN and ran upstairs where Finn was watching TV. He was too engrossed in the cartoon he was watching to realise anyone else had entered the room so Kurt walked right past him and into the kitchen. Carole and Finn had started coming over for dinner most nights . It had been difficult at first, getting used to sharing his dad with them but he was used to their presence now.

Kurt searched the cupboards. He knew he didn't have to cook but he wanted to make sure his dad ate a healthy dinner. He would have to teach him how to make some of these meals himself eventually. Carole's culinary skills were certainly better his dads but it'd be nice way to spend time with him regardless. He grabbed some food, taking into account that there were now four mouths to feed.

They were sort of like a family. There were moments when they were all together at home that it almost felt like Kurt and Finn were bothers but that would change completely as soon as they were back in school. Most of the time at school it felt like they were barely even friends.

Kurt stopped chopping vegetables when he heard Finn walk in.

"Oh," Finn stopped in his tracks. "I thought you were still in your room."

"Just getting started on dinner," Kurt replied going back to chopping carrots.

Finn grabbed a drink from the fridge before returning to the couch. He stopped in the doorway for a moment and turned around.

"Everything alright, Kurt?"

'No' he thought.

"Everything's fine."

"Good," Finn said. He stood awkwardly in the doorway. For a moment he looked like he was about to say something else but changed his mind and left the kitchen while Kurt watched on sadly.

Kurt was left thinking about Karofsky again and the kiss. He wished he could just avoid him for the rest of his life but he knew that wasn't an option. He would have to face him eventually so he might as well take Blaine's advice and try to reach out to him. He smiled slightly thinking of Blaine. Maybe it was abit weird to spill his secrets to a stranger but if anything that made it even better. He had been frantic when he got home from school and being able to open up to someone had helped. It wasn't as if Blaine would tell anyone as he didn't really know who Kurt was either. Although Kurt thought Blaine probably wouldn't tell anyone anyway. He seemed nice, and understanding.

He remembered that Blaine told him he would be online later and his smile widened.
