It's already almost 10 pm when Kurt finally pulls back up on his driveway, Blaine still shivering all over in the passenger seat from the emotions running through his body. Turning off the ignition, he reaches over and grabs Blaine's hand in his, squeezing it gently as he says, "It's over now, you're safe here with me. You did right by reporting it, alright? I know you're still scared of it all but you did so good, Blaine. They'll get what they deserve, and you won't have to work for them anymore, you've got a home anyway, okay?" Kurt smiles reassuringly at his boyfriend, but isn't able to catch his gaze as he says those words. He can understand it all too well that Blaine's afraid of what will happen now, but with his statement and the still obvious evidence the nurses and doctor at the hospital have established it is hardly unlikely that there won't be severe consequences for the place where Blaine worked and in addition the guy who did this to him. Even if Blaine wasn't able to give his name to the police, Kurt is pretty sure that it'll be fairly easy to persuade the owners to give up that information.With a last soft squeeze of his fingers, Kurts lets go and says, "Come on, B. Let's get you back inside and up into my room." 

He steps out of the car and rounds the hood once he notices Blaine not moving to open his door, so he opens it for him and holds out his hand for Blaine to take. Even if he still refrains from making eye contact, Blaine does take his hand and steps out of the car, following Kurt close behind with their fingers entwined after he closed the car and locked it. 
When Kurt opens the door, he kind of expects it even though he hoped it wouldn't be, he finds his Dad and Carol stepping into the hallway, obviously on the look out for them to come back. He's shaking his head, pleading with his eyes for his dad to not press further for now as Blaine startles when he notices them and plasters himself practically completely against Kurt's side with a soft whimper that's just audible for Kurt to hear.It seems though that Carol has noticed to because the moment Burt opens his mouth with a worried look, she puts a hand on his forearm and he stops in his tracks immediately, only nodding towards his son and mouthing ‘Tomorrow.' before he turns back to the living room followed by Carol who casts a last glance at both boys and a nod at Kurt too.

"Let's get you to my room, okay? Don't worry, my dad won't come into it as long as I say he can't. You are safe here though, B. You'll be okay here." Kurt almost whispers as he leads Blaine towards his bedroom and once they step inside immediately close the door behind them before turning back to Blaine.Blaine is standing still, his gaze dropped to the floor between them since he'd turned once the stepped inside and Kurt just closes the little space between them to engulf him in a hug, wrapping his arms completely around him for a long moment. It's Blaine that breaks the hug now though, looking up at his boyfriend with red rimmed eyes as he croaks out a barely audible, "Thank you."
"Oh, B. You don't need to ... I know anyone else might say otherwise but I really am here for you, no matter what, okay. I ... Just know that you're okay here with me." Kurt answers, his heart breaking with the expression in Blaine's eyes. He steps back, shrugging off his jacket and throws it over the chair a bit further away from them and then helps Blaine out of his coat, draping it over his own as he says, "You want to take a shower? Or a bath? You can ... I mean, I've got an ensuite so there's no one that can come in while you're there."

Blaine looks towards where he figured Kurt's bathroom is and then drops his gaze back to the floor as he quietly answers, "Yes, I ... I need to ... Thank you."Trying not to startle him, Kurt runs his hand soothingly over Blaine's arm for a moment, "I'll go grab some fresh towels for you, you just go ahead already and I'll be right back to hand them to you, okay?" Blaine just nods and steps towards and inside the bathroom, leaving the door slightly ajar as Kurt steps outside of his room and go fetches the promised towels in the closet near the other bathroom. 

As he steps inside, Blaine slowly looks around at the tub and sink, a toilet in the corner closest to the door opposite the bath. He takes in a deep, shaky breath while he takes a step further and stops in front of the sink and the mirror above it although he keeps his gaze averted from it. He quickly undresses himself, dropping his clothes on the closed lid of the toilet and once he's standing in his boxers only, Blaine does look back up at his own reflection. It's only now really that he sees how badly he looks, the bruise around his eye and side of his face looking really harsh especially in the light of the bathroom here. His gaze moves lower over his own chest, finding another bruise and scratches around his collarbone and lower imprints of fingers around his hipbone. Blaine can't look away from them, his head shaking slightly in disbelief still that this has actually happened and he stays still like that for a couple of long moments until his vision gets blurry again and another loud sob escapes his lips before he himself even notices it.

Stepping back inside his bedroom, Kurt carries the towels in his arms as he stops right outside the bathroom, not sure if he should just enter or not but then he hears Blaine's sob and he drops the towels in his hurry to get inside, finding his boyfriend standing in front of the mirror. He can see everything clearly himself now, seeing the bruises and marks that litter his body and Kurt doesn't wait as he crosses the room and gathers Blaine into his arms once more. He doesn't know what else to do, what else to say so he just stays quiet until he can feel Blaine slowly ease up on the trembling and then he cradles his face and says, "I'll get your bath ready, okay? It'll be okay." Kurt nods shortly, catching Blaine's eyes as he said it and then turns to quickly get it ready after he picks up the towels again.

Soon enough the tub is filled and all the while Kurt hadn't looked back at his boyfriend, not wanting to make him too uncomfortable in this situation and is a bit startled when he's still turned with his back towards his boyfriend as Blaine silently asks, "Can you ... Will you stay? Can you ...?" Slowly Kurt turns around, his eyes wide as he suddenly notices that Blaine is completely naked now and not looking up at him. He swallows hard, contemplating what he should do but then after a silent moment right when Blaine opens his mouth to speak again, Kurt replies, "Yeah ... If you want that. I'll ... stay? Or ..." Kurt trails off, his hand running over his face and then continues almost mumbling, "I can join you?"It only elicits a nod from Blaine but he breathes in deep as he quickly discards himself from his clothes too, trying not to act to shy right now, before he steps into the tub and opens his arms to gesture for Blaine to come sit between his legs.

The boy does so, quietly and carefully stepping into the tub and settling himself sitting straight up as he's emerged into the water. Kurt takes the clean washcloth from the ledge next to the bath and hands it to Blaine. When he takes it, Blaine just pours some of the shower gel on it, starting to wash himself but Kurt watches in worry as he starts to wash himself, more vigorously by the minute. Scrubbing down his arms, his chest and everywhere he can reach hard while little hisses of pain keep escaping his lips with every move. It goes until Kurt can't stand to see and hear his boyfriend, even if he can't see his face, it's enough to know what Blaine is actually trying to do. Wanting to do something to try to take away the pain, Kurt leans in closer and reaches around Blaine, putting his hand on top of his where it was scrubbing harshly around his collarbone and stills his movements even though he can feel Blaine's hand twitch underneath him in need to keep going. "Let me ... Please? Let me do this for you?" he silently asks, feeling the tremble go through Blaine's body as he does but the boy doesn't answer him nor does he stop him as Kurt carefully takes the washcloth out of his hands. Kurt presses a kiss against Blaine's spine between his shoulderblades before gently starting to wash his back. He doesn't need words right now, knows this is something he can do for Blaine and revels in the trust the other is giving him right now. He washes him completely, gently but thoroughly, careful not to hurt him and when he's finished he rinses the cloth and puts it to the side before he coaxes Blaine to lay back against his chest in the still lukewarm water. He wraps his arms around his boyfriend's chest and just hugs him close, listening to his erratic breathing becoming as calm as possible until the water starts to get too cold if the shivers going through Blaine's body is anything to go by.

Once they're out of the tub, Blaine standing there looking absolutely crestfallen and like he isn't sure what he should be doing right now, Kurt steps closer after wrapping a towel around his waist. He takes a fresh one, throwing it around his boyfriend and dries him off, getting increasingly worried with the lack of emotions that Blaine is suddenly standing there. But he stays quiet for now still, deciding that he'll have enough time later on to talk to his boyfriend. It takes him no time to steer Blaine back into his bedroom who like he's on autopilot, takes a few things out of the bag Kurt filled quickly and puts them on. As soon as he's dressed in his short sweatpants and tshirt and Kurt is too, he guides Blaine to his own bed, pulling back the cover and letting his boyfriend slip in before joining him. 

They're facing each other, Kurt studying Blaine's features for a long silent moment and reaches up, trailing his finger gently over the bruise on the side of his face before he speaks,"B, I am here if you want to talk or anything. Don't ... Please, don't shy away from talking to me, okay? I know I may seem pretty hard and uncaring but ...""Kurt ..." Blaine interrupts him suddenly, putting his hand over his boyfriend's on his face and turning slightly into the touch, "Don't, ... You aren't ... Not with me, I know." His voice comes out slightly hoarse, trembling with emotions still and he has to swallow a couple of times before he's able to say anything else. "I can't talk ... I can't ... Not again, not now. I just ..." Blaine takes in a deep breath and closes his eyes shortly, opening them again after only a second to lock his gaze on Kurt's."Thank you ... I ... Can you just ... Just hold me, please? Just ... I want to feel ... safe. I feel safe with you." he adds silently, almost pleading for Kurt to do as he asks him to.

Kurt is quick to comply, sighing softly as he wraps his arms around his boyfriend and pulls him as close as possible. He doesn't push anything right now, only wanting to give Blaine what he needs most at this moment and it doesn't take all that long for Blaine's breathing to even out. Kurt can't fall asleep for a long time after that though, just listening to Blaine's breathing and cherishing the feeling of his boyfriend in his arms even though the circumstances should've been different.
