Blaine woke with a start and he didnt even notice he was screaming until Kurt rushed into the room asking if he was ok.

He had dreamt about when he nearly got raped by Sebastian but this time he succeeded, his dad never entered the room and he let him have his way with him. Hed cried and screamed but no one came to help him, thats when he woke.

Kurt sat on the edge of his bed and wrapped his arms around his shoulders pulling him close, he leaned into them feeling safe.

"Youre ok, youre safe," Kurt soothed as he sobbed into his shoulder.

"Im sorry," he said pulling away.

"You have nothing to be sorry about," Kurt said laying a soft hand on his shoulder.

"You had to skip class because of me, Kurt," he said noticing that the last time he was awake he had been at the college.

"You matter more to me than going to class Blaine, but I have to ask what happened? You just ran," Kurt said and he looked to the floor.

Kurts safe, hell protect you, he wont let anyone hurt you. Kurts safe.

"Will you be mad at me, Kurt?" He asked for no particular reason. Kurt shook his head.

"No I promise I wont be mad," Kurt said softly and he nodded.

"Sebastian," he said his voice getting caught at the name and he wanted to retreat into himself. A fresh set of tears ran down his face.

"What about Sebastian?" Kurt asked.

"Hes been my master before," he said and he watched as Kurts mouth fell open.

"Blaine, what did he do?" Kurt said moving fully onto the bed laying down next to him.

He looked into Kurts eyes and then looked away feeling a little ashamed.

"I wasnt with him long, but he tried to ra-," he said but he couldnt get through the whole sentence. Kurt pulled him closer into his arms and began to rub circles on his back.

"Its ok, hell never touch you again I promise," Kurt said soothing him.

They laid like that for about an hour before he felt himself falling back to sleep.

…..

Once he felt Blaine fall asleep in his arms he let the tears start to fall down his face. Sebastian would never touch him again, the anger he felt was nothing like he had felt before. Shortly after Blaine, he fell asleep too clinging onto the boy with all the love that he could muster.

When he woke Blaine was still asleep, he pulled out his phone and looked at the time. He knew that he would have to be at college soon, so he looked back to Blaine.

"Blaine," he said softly trying to wake him. "Blaine," he repeated when he began to stir.

"Yes, Kurt?" Blaine asked sleepily.

"Will you be ok today or do you want me to stay home?" He asked and Blaine rolled away from him a little.

"Ill be ok, Kurt. Ive taken too much of your school time already," Blaine said and he looked into Blaine eyes.

"I dont want to leave you if youre not ready to be left alone, you had a pretty big freak out yesterday," he said and Blaine looked to the floor.

"I know, Im sorry Kurt," Blaine said and he sighed pulling Blaine in for a hug.

"No, Im sorry," he said and Blaine wrapped his arms around his waist. He was glad Blaine didnt seem to mind his closeness, he just wanted Blaine to feel safe with him.

"Kurt, Ill be fine on my owe though, you can go to college," Blaine said and he looked into Blaine eyes again to see if there was any fear in his words, he didnt find any.

"Are you sure?" He asked not wanting to leave but also not wanted to get kicked out of college already unless its necessary.

"Yes, Kurt, Ill be fine," Blaine said and he nodded.

He gave Blaine a small kiss to the forehead before rolling out of the bed.

…

"Blaine Im now going," Kurt said walking into the living room where he was sitting on the couch.

He nodded giving Kurt a small smile before Kurt headed towards the door to the loft and disappeared.

The apartment felt suddenly empty and he looked around thinking of what he could do to pass the time before Kurt got back.

He stood and walked around starting to clean the apartment making sure everything was in its place, he wanted to show how much Kurt meant to him, he wanted to give something back and this was the best he could do.

…..

He walked into the school feeling lonely without Blaine at his side, hed wished hed stayed at home with him but he needed to keep up attendance if he didnt want to fall behind.

He walked along the corridor towards the classroom stopping when he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey Kurt, what happened to you yesterday?" Sebastians voice made his blood boil with anger but he just took a breath and carried on walking ignoring him.

Blaine wouldnt have wanted him to get into a fight, but if he had to he would and Sebastian was going down.

"Kurt," Sebastian continued running next to him.

"Go away before I punch you in the face," he mumbled and picked up his pace but Sebastian followed him.

"Is it your time of the month or sometime Hummel?" Sebastian asked and he turned to face him ready to snap.

"You stay away from me and you better stay away from Blaine," he said and he was sure that if looks could kill Sebastian would be dead.

"Who the hell is Blaine?" Sebastian snapped back and he paused.

"Oh yeah, youre one of the freaks that never even bothered to ask his real name," he said Sebastian was disgusting.

"Oh right, the slave," Sebastian said and he shoved him backwards.

"He told me what you tried to do, youre a horrible human being," he screamed sudden emotion rushing through him and he felt tear flood his eyes.

"Oh please, if were talking about the same thing he wanted it, he loved it, too bad my dads a dick, and dont worry I have no interest in him, you on the other hand," Sebastian said raising his eye brow and he gave him another shove.

"Stay away from us both," he said and turned walking away.

Sebastian did as hed told him and stayed away from him for the rest of the day, he was glad because he wasnt sure what he would have done if he hadnt. He would protect Blaine with his life, Blaine was family and he hadnt felt like this for anyone before. He wanted Blaine to be safe and if Sebastian was going to threaten that then he wasnt going to hesitate to hurt him.

He walked out of the school and walked back to the apartment, he just hoped Blaine had been ok on his own all day. He reached the apartment quicker than he normally would due to his pace and rushed inside.

He knocked lightly on the door before walking in just to let Blaine know he was home. As he walked in a great smell filled his scents.

"Blaine?" He called walking into the kitchen. The place seemed to be spotless too.

"Hey, Kurt," Blaine said with a smile and he smiled back. It was refreshing to see Blaine happy.

"What are you up to?" He asked and Blaine pulled out a pie that hed made while he was out.

"I cleaned and made lunch," Blaine said looking a little shy and he walked up to him giving him a hug.

"You didnt have to do that," he said and Blaine nodded.

"I wanted to do something to thank you for helping me and protecting me, what youve done for me means a lot," Blaine said and he smiled.

"Blaine, you dont need to thank me, you coming out of your shell has been more than enough of a reward," he said.

"You make me feel like Im human, no one has made me feel like that in a long time," Blaine said and he looked to the floor.

"Blaine, youre wonderful, dont you ever let anyone make you think different," he said holding onto Blaines cheeks so he could look into his eyes.

Blaine smiled. "You should eat, it will get cold otherwise," Blaine said and he smiled giving Blaine a small nod.

"We, should eat," he said putting emphasis on the we.

"Right," Blaine said with a nod. They set out the plates and walked out into the living room, there was something hed wanted to tell Blaine, just to let him know how much he cared.

"I know you had a shock yesterday, but I think youre dealing with it really well and I know its been hard for you but Im so proud of you Blaine, so proud, youre so much better than all the people who hurt you," he said and Blaine looked to the floor before looking back up. Blaine had tears running down his face and he frowned. "Im sorry, I didnt mean to make you cry hun," he said and Blaine smiled.

"Kurt you mean so much to me," Blaine said leaning in to kiss him on the cheek.

He felt his cheeks turning red and they began to eat. It was amazing how far Blaine had come already.

Once they had eaten he insisted that he would do the dishes because he had been cleaning all day, the apartment was so clean that he couldnt even see the tiniest bit of dust.

….

His heart was thumping, he was sure that he was going to get yelled at for kissing Kurt on the cheek even though Kurt was the nicest person hed ever met. It had felt amazing.

He was still terrified of Sebastian but Kurt seemed to be able to neutralise his fear and dull it down.

Kurt was in the kitchen and he couldnt stop thinking able the feeling of his lips on his cheeks, the feeling of his soft skin. Yes, Kurt had kissed him on the head occasionally but that was nothing but for comfort.

He almost scolded himself at the thoughts, Kurt would never date a slave, he deserved better. He was practically a nobody, Kurt needed someone who could support him and treat him right and as a slave he couldnt even get a job.

He sighed, wishing for the millionth time in his life that he wasnt a slave.
