Thank-you again for you amazing reviews!! They mean a lot J

Ok so from the reviews I’ve got the idea that people would prefer more love and less angst… thank-you for your input, now I can give you what you want J

There will obviously be a tiny bit of angst in this chapter as it needs to continue from the last but I promise it’ll be over before you know it!! ENJOY! Please review and hold on for the next update!

Burt stood up defensively ready to jump at Blaine. Kurt tried to go after them, but nobody had time to react for what happened next…

CRACK!

A sound shot through the air, a sound Kurt knew all too well. He felt like his heart was being ripped in half as the shot continued to ring in his ears. He opened his eyes, not sure when he had closed them, to gasp at the sight in front of him.

Blaine was on the floor, hunched over a crying Aimee, protecting her. It was only when Kurt took a step closer he noticed the blood seeping through Blaine’s shirt on his arm. Kurt realised what had happened as he saw the bullet lying at the ground behind Blaine. When was this all going to stop?

He turned his head to see where the bullet had come from only to see Blaine’s fathers face through the hole in the door the bullet had caused, pistol in hand. His hatred for the man hit a new level and he could feel his protectiveness for Blaine and his sister pulsing in his viens.

Burt instinctively ran up and pushed Kurt away from the door and without saying a word, ran out the house towards Mr.Anderson, fists raised. Kurt looked away quickly and fell down to Blaine to cover Aimee’s ears as he heard Blaine’s father scream.

Burt walked back into the house and placed the gun into a high cupboard, away from the sight and reach of Aimee. He proceeded to run over to the phone to call 991.

Kurt turned around to see through the open door; Blaine’s father was lying on his back outside their house, unconscious on the floor.

“He’s just comatose Blaine but don’t worry… We’ll sort this.”

“I’m not worrying; I’m with you.” Blaine replied, looking Kurt straight in the eyes, losing that bad boy act once more.

Kurt smiled, dumbstruck. He blinked back at Blaine, not quite believing he was being so open with his feelings, even in front of Aimee and Burt.

Blaine raised an eyebrow at Kurt’s expression and had to let out a laugh. Kurt joined in the laughter before he saw Blaine flinch back as the movement hurt his arm.

“Shit. Come on we need to get you cleaned up. How bad is it? Does it hurt that much?”

“Kurt, I’ve had a LOT worse than this; don’t worry!” Blaine replied before turning to Aimee and speaking softly, “Hey baby, listen you’ve got to do something for me ok? I know this is hard for you but you’ve got to trust me… we’re gonna be ok now.”

Kurt could hear his heart shattering into a million pieces as he watched the boy speaking to his younger sister. It was obvious to him the little girl meant the world to Blaine and Kurt knew he would be prepared to go to the ends of the earth for her.

Aimee nodded up at Blaine and twisted her hands, unable to speak.

Blaine brushed her hair out of her eyes and wiped away the tears falling down her face. “I need you to go into Kurt’s bedroom ok? It’s the first door you’ll see when you go up the stairs. Take a nap in the bed in there ok. Don’t even think of saying no… you need rest. Go on. I love you.”

“I love you too Blainey” Aimee said as she slowly but surely picked herself up from the floor and cautiously moved up the stairs. Blaine watched her closely, right up to when she closed the door to Kurt’s room behind her. He turned back around to see Kurt staring at him, confused.

“What you looking at me like that for?” Blaine said defensively.

Kurt simply tilted his head to the left not breaking eye contact, “You really care about her. It’s beautiful.”

“I do. More than she’ll ever know.” Blaine replied before breaking the awkward silence by helping Kurt to his feet.

Burt walked over with a wet towel, a bandage and some scissors. “The little girl ok in Kurt’s room?”

Blaine nodded in reply, “She’s just going for a nap. I thought it would do her well.”

“Yes, yes. I’ve rang the police, they’re on their way. I have no idea what to do with your dad until they arrive….Anyway, first we need to get you sorted.” Burt said turning increasingly red with every word in his last sentence.

“What’s the matter dad?” Kurt started but as he thought a little more he knew why his dad was getting embarrassed. “Blaine, you’re gonna need to take your shirt off so we can reach the wound.”

Burt cleared his throat, “Yes… well Kurt, I think you should go upstairs for a minute.”

“No disrespect Burt, but Kurt’s seen it all before.”

Kurt gave Blaine massive evils before he realised he was just trying to be helpful and not saying one of his usual witty comebacks.

Burt nodded and gave Kurt a look of ‘We’ll talk about this later’ before proceeding to inspect Blaine’s wound. “Doesn’t look too bad kid, I think the bullet must have skimmed your arm rather than penetrating it.”

Blaine laughed at Burt’s choice of words, bowing his head to try and hide his sniggering. Burt’s face turned a greater shade of red as he realised what he had said. “Kurt, call Carole for me… then go help Blaine clean his arm in the bathroom, will you? I’m going to see what I can do with this door.”

Kurt took the towel and bandages off his dad before bursting into laughter with Blaine.

Kurt had been cleaning Blaine’s arm for a while now, not wanting him to replace his shirt.

“As much as I love sitting here half naked with you… Do you mind if I put that bandage on my arm now?” Blaine said smirking up at Kurt who was sat on the edge of the bath tub.

Kurt passed Blaine the dressing, ignoring his comments. Blaine took the bandage off Kurt and wrapped it expertly around his upper arm. He reached for one of Kurt’s shirts he had been told he could borrow and slipped it on over his head.

“I couldn’t do that with two hands never mind one. I take it you’ve done that before.” Kurt said, still staring in awe, but also worry at how Blaine had wrapped his arm up so well.

“Plenty of times…” Blaine said but noticing the expression on Kurt’s face he held the boys chin and tilted it up so they could lock eyes, “Nothing you need to worry about. I Promise.”

Kurt smiled at the love in this gesture. “So, where are you going to go now?”

“I’m not sure really. If we had any other relatives around, we would have moved in with them a long time ago.” Blaine started and then answered Kurt’s unvoiced question, “When my mum died, our family kind of broke apart. We don’t hear from anyone anymore.”

“I didn’t know your mum died… My-“

“Yours did too. I know... I urmmm, I saw her in the photo’s on the fireplace. She was beautiful, just like you.” Blaine reached up with his good arm and took Kurt’s cheek in his hand, planting a kiss onto his lips. It was simple, no tongues, no mistakes and no force. Blaine broke the contact before anymore could happen and sank back to lean against the sink.

“What’s gotten into you?” Kurt said through a sigh.

“Well… getting thrown down the stairs and hit with a bullet by your father kind of makes your re-evaluate what you value in life.” Blaine replied matter-of-factly.

“You know, the offer still stands… If you want to stay at mine your welcome to. We’ve got a spare bedroom you and Aimee can use?”

Blaine smirked and leant down to kiss Kurt again, more passionate this time. Kurt had to hang on to Blaine’s neck to stop himself falling backwards into the bath tub from the force Blaine was now using. When he pulled back, Kurt was breathless and a little disorientated.

“I’ll take that as a yes then?” he laughed up at Blaine.

Kurt didn’t really see Blaine and Aimee around the house much. Blaine insisted on staying in their room and buying their own food, feeling bad for living in Burt’s house. The only time Kurt saw them was to walk to school, taking Aimee first and then walking with Blaine up to McKinley.

School was a really strange experience for Kurt now. Gone were the days when he had to cower from bullies and worry about being slushied around every corner. Kurt often had to ask himself what was different now but the answer was simple: he had Blaine.

Blaine had become even more open about his feelings for Kurt while still keeping the rest of his bad boy self which wasn’t a fake act. He walked Kurt to his every lesson and would sit with him at lunch, talking about his day.

Kurt noticed the attention he was getting from the rest of the school from it. People would start whispering and pointing at Kurt and Blaine, walking down the corridor hand in hand, that is, before Blaine would turn around and give them some sort of death threat. Kurt even received many jealous looks off the girls of McKinley who would voice their thoughts out loud: “What the hell has he got that I haven’t” or “I want to know what he’s done to get someone like Blaine.”

Glee club was slightly different. Most of them just seemed genuinely confused about the situation. Finn, who had been forced to live with Blaine and his sister for the past week, was the only one who showed any sign of understanding.

However, although confused, every member of the club seemed happy for the couple… apart from Santana of course. Blaine would sit next to Kurt in Glee rehearsals, his hand placed upon Kurt’s knee, every now and then moving it further up Kurt’s leg to receive a warning look off Mr.Shue. He had even worked on the week’s assignment with Kurt.

They had been given duets to work on and Blaine had picked them out a wonderful song that Kurt would have bet Blaine hadn’t even heard of until he showed it him. Impressed, Kurt began to work on the duet with the other boy.

You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

Finn and Rachel finished their duet together, receiving cheering and clapping from everyone, Kurt being the most enthusiastic. Blaine wolf whistled up to the couple and threw them a wink.

“BLAINE! That is my brother and my best friend… can we not please?”

“Sorry babe.” Blaine said and threw his wink to Kurt instead and gave his ass a quick squeeze as they stood up to take their turn in the limelight.

Mr.Shue rolled his eyes as Blaine lent against the piano in his black leather jacket before giving them the signal to begin.

Baby let's cruise away from here
Don't be confused, the way is clear
And if you want it you got it forever
This is not a one night stand, baby, yeah so

The boys exchanged flirty looks and gestures throughout the verse until Blaine finally moved from the piano when they began the chorus.

Let the music take your mind, ooh
Just release and you will find
You're gonna fly away

Blaine reached Kurt and wrapped his arms around his lovers waist, only to be tapped away playfully by Kurt.

Glad you're goin' my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
The music is played for love,
Cruisin' is made for love
I love it when we're cruisin' together

Baby tonight belongs to us
Everything's right, do what you must
& inch by inch we get closer & closer
To every little part of each other ooh baby, yeah So

The glee club watched the two boys dance around in front of them, obviously having more fun than intended. Rachel smiled to herself as she knew why Kurt had sung his solo, Ever fallen in love, all that time ago: he was in love. She never in her wildest dreams thought it would be with someone like Blaine but she could tell he made Kurt happier than anybody else ever could, so she was willing to put up with the bad boy… besides he had a GREAT voice.

Cruise with me baby
Cruise

Baby let's cruise
Let's flow, let's glide
Ooooh let's open up, & go inside
& if you want it you got it forever
I can just stay there inside you
& love you baby,

Blaine followed Kurt around the room, gesturing suggestively at him. Finally he grabbed Kurt’s hand pulled him to the middle of the room once more, singing his heart out.

I love it, I love it, I love it
You're gonna fly away
Yeah, glad you're going my way
I love it when we're cruisin' together
(The music is played for love)
It's love music
(Cruisin' is made for love).

Kurt had barely finished his last line when Blaine’s lips were on his. Oh god.

Kurt knew this type of kiss, it was hot and needy and Kurt loved it but hang on… they were in front of the whole Glee club!!!

Before Kurt could say anything, his arms were being pushed above his head and his back hit the wall behind him as Blaine pushed him against it hungrily. Kurt mentally prepared for hand shaped bruises on his wrists for the next week. Actually, judging by the force Blaine was using, make it two weeks.

“Woah!! ok boys… BOYS?” Mr.Shue said as he broke the two lovers apart with difficulty due to Blaine’s strength.

Kurt turned crimson as he opened his eyes to see the shocked expressions on the faces in front of him. Awkward glances and shuffling took place as Blaine and Kurt made their way back to their seats.

“You’re good at that aren’t you Blaine…”

Kurt looked up from his pit of embarrassment to see who had spoken with such accusation in their voice. Of course, it was Santana.

“Getting down and dirty I mean… go on, admit it? You’re brilliant in bed and you know it.”

Blaine simply raised an eyebrow at Santana making Kurt even more bewildered than he was before.

“You shouldn’t look so confused Kurt… Surely he’s shown you his rough and ready side?” she started and smiled evilly when she got no response. “Just as I thought…”

Kurt knew they had both had sex with Blaine, Santana’s time being a long while ago, but didn’t know why she would bother to bring it up now.

Santana gave one last flick of her hair, ignoring the shouts of Mr.Shue and left the room. However, what she did on the way out was the thing that made Kurt lose his breath: she had rolled up her sleeve to expose bruises around her wrist… NEW bruises.

As Kurt looked down, he saw they were very much like the ones forming on his own wrists. Oh fuck, not again. Kurt couldn’t take this again. Not after everything Blaine had said to him in the past week.

“Kurt, I know what you’re thinking… It’s-“

Before Blaine could finish his sentence Kurt had slapped Blaine hard across the face, causing him to buckle in pain.

“We’re done Blaine.”

Ok. Ok. This is the last chapter like this I swear… from now on it will be romance and sweetness and light J PROMISE! Hope you enjoyed!
