I got a review (thank you!) taking about typos. I have no idea how to get a beta reader and to be honest I'm not quite sure if I want one. I look through them about 20 times before I publish them, but they always seem to carry hidden typos. I hope they're not too distracting, and I'll do my best to catch as many as I can!
Please review, I do not own glee.
Kurt felt elated. After much thought, he had decided that he would talk to Blaine in the morning to tell him that he would be absolutely delighted to have coffee with him over the weekend, and then to write his reply letter in his first block class.
Kurt was making his way down the hallways in the morning toward Blaine's locker (which he only knew the position of due to the many times he had passed Blaine removing books from it) when he noticed that there was a disturbance going on where Blaine's locker was. Kurt made his way through the crowd to find 3 jocks pushing and taunting Blaine who looked torn between fighting back and bursting into tears. After a moment's hesitation, Kurt lunged himself between Blaine and the jocks and yelled,
"I thought you were supposed to stop acting like children about 6 years ago! Leave Blaine alone!"
The jocks looked disgusted, not seeming to have registered Kurt's words in the slightest. They were looking at Blaine with pure revolution in their eyes. As they began to back away, one of them said,
"I should have known this would happen. Ur already fuckin' the Hummel fag." With one last snarling look, they all turned away and rounded a corner.
Ignoring the jolt of shame that had shot up from his stomach to his heart, making it pound harder and louder in his chest, Kurt turned to Blaine and gave a week smile. As Kurt looked at Blaine, he noticed that the boy looked as if he was using ever single ounce of energy he had to keep from busting into tears at that very moment. Knowing that feeling far too well, Kurt took Blaine's hand and led him to an empty classroom.
After Kurt had shut the door, he turned around and placed a hand on Blaine's shoulder. He noticed that Blaine still seemed to be using a great effort to hold back sobs, and said soothingly,
"It's ok Blaine, it's alright." Kurt's words seemed to trigger something in Blaine, who exploded into streaming tears and loud sobs that became muffled as Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine, hoping he wasn't crossing any lines, and wanting with all of his heart to help the boy in his arms. Blaine was managing to apologize through sobs so often that by the time his sobs had died down and Kurt had relinquished his hold on him, Kurt had said "it's ok!" at least 2 dozen times. "Hey," Kurt said as he tried to catch Blaine's eye, "are you still up for coffee this weekend? Say…Saturday at 12?"
Blaine looked up and managed a weak smile. "Yeah, yeah I'd like that. Look, I'm real sorry about just then... I shouldn't have… I mean it was awfully rude of me to just…"
"No, it wasn't." Kurt cut him off. "I know that feeling so well I almost had d�j� vu a couple minutes ago. All I ever wanted was for someone to tell me it was alright. And I'm telling you now, it really is, and always will be, alright." Kurt smiled and gestured towards the door. They had to be at least 5 minutes late for class.
Kurt and Blaine made their way out into the deserted hallway, the latter rubbing his eyes and trying to make his bruised face look mildly presentable. They said their goodbyes, but as Kurt had turned away to walk in the opposite direction as Blaine, he heard his name.
"Hey Kurt?" Blaine said, and Kurt turned, a small smile playing at the edge of his lips. "Does this mean no more letters?"
Slightly disappointed, Kurt replied "well I was just going to wait to write it until I knew if and when we would have coffee, but if you don't want me to ill…"
Kurt was cut off a Blaine rushed "no, no I love the letters, id really, really like to keep them going." He smiled, and Kurt was unable to suppress a grin.
Kurt bowed his head slightly and said, before turning away, "as you wish."
As he watched Kurt walk away with a new spring in his step, Blaine wondered if Kurt had meant to quote the princess bride, Blaine's all time favorite movie, and wondered if Kurt knew what Wesley had meant when he had said those words to buttercup.
