Kurt went through his week normally. He got a little trouble from Karofsky, watched Rachel get all of the solos Mr Schue had to offer. The usual. But for some reason all that he could think about was getting to see Blaine on Thursday. He didn't know why but all he could think about was him.

He was sitting in the cafeteria with the rest of the new directions when he heard a loud bang.

"People before freaks"  Kurt looked up to see Karofsky towering over Blaine and Blaine's tray which he presumed Karofsky knocked out of his hands on the ground.

"Pick it up fag... NOW."

Blaine dropped onto his knees and quickly tried to pick up the bits of his lunch from the ground while Karofsky and the jocks stood there laughing. He could here laughter coming from around the rest of the cafeteria as well just not quite as loud. Karofsky grabbed a slushy from another boy beside him and tipped it over Blaine's head and left the room laughing.

Kurt jumped up and ran over to where Blaine was cowering on the ground shaking.

"Hey Blaine? Come on sweetie I'll take you to the bathroom and help clean you up"

Blaine obediently followed holding Kurt's hand the entire time. Kurt could feel him still shaking just as bad. When they got to the bathroom Kurt turned around and locked the door. He seen Blaine flinch at the sound of the lock.

"Hey it's okay I'm just locking it in case any of those Neanderthals come in"

Blaine nodded but didn't move from where he was standing against the wall over the other side of the bathroom. Kurt grabbed some paper towels and wet them under the tap and walked over to Blaine.

"I'm just going to wipe the slushy from your face and top so it doesn't get stained I know how hard they are to get out when you leave them and then you can rinse your hair under the tap, okay?"

Blaine nodded and Kurt began to dab at him with the towels. When he finished this he led Blaine over to the taps and let him rinse his hair under the water. As he watched him doing this all he could think about was what Karofsky had called him. Fag. He never called anyone besides Kurt that and Kurt couldn't help but wonder... No wait this wasn't the time to even be thinking about something like that. He broke out from his thoughts only to find Blaine had finished and was now standing there staring.

"Um so how about I walk you back to your class now I mean lunch is almost over?"

Blaine nodded and they made their way out to the hallway. Blaine's eyes darting around him like a scared puppy. Kurt sighed. He knew what it was like to walk through school in fear and he couldn't imagine how much harder it must be for Blaine.

They reached the classroom and Blaine gave a nod of thanks and made his way inside and went straight for his chair in the corner and sat down and placed his head in his hands. Kurt stared at the boy and blinked back the tears that where building up. He walked in and over to Blaine.

"Blaine?" Blaine jumped at the sound of his voice but looked up and smiled when he saw it was Kurt.

That smile. It gave Kurt a knot in his stomach. He shook the thoughts from his head and crouched down beside Blaine.

"I mean you don't have to or anything it's just a suggestion but maybe, if you want I mean.."

Blaine smirked and let out a tiny laugh at Kurt rambling away.

Kurt looked up in shock at first but then let out a laugh to.

"Okay sorry I was just saying if you want to maybe tomorrow we could sit in here and eat lunch together. Its right after our seventh period together so it would make sense.. only if you want to."

Blaine nodded enthusiastically.

"Okay I'll pack us a lunch seeing as I already bring mine from home anyway. See you tomorrow Blaine" Kurt smiled and waved and Blaine returned it.

The next day Kurt arrived at school and went through his day bubbling with excitement. All over seeing Blaine for lunch.

"You have a lunch date with this boy? Kurt he's cute and all but do you really want to get involved in all his issues?"

"Mercedes first of all, it's not a "lunch date" I'm just helping him out because I know what it's like with Karofsky making your life hell and two he hasn't got issues, he just has anxiety."

"I know you went through a hard time and it's nice of you to do that I just don't want to see you hurt Kurt"

"I won't get hurt Mercedes he's not even gay so nothing can happen"

"You've asked him?"

"What?"

"You said he's not even gay, have you asked him? Because my sources tell me he is."

"What sources?"

"Listen Kurt don't tell him I told you or anything but Sam went to his old school and apparently he got the crap beaten out of him for taking another boy to a dance and was in a coma for a while and it's since then he hasn't talked."

"W-why didn't Sam tell me this?"

"He doesn't know you guys are becoming friends he just mentioned it when we left after the first day but he said not to tell anyone in case he didn't want anyone to know. I'll admit it would be nice if you guys where friends so you could have someone to talk about these things with"

Kurt nodded and then began to think about everything Mercedes just told him. He had never been beaten up before just a few locker shoves and being thrown into a dumpster but that was the worst of the physical bullying. But he couldn't understand why this would stop Blaine from talking, the anxiety yes but the talking didn't make sense. Kurt felt so protective over this boy and he was determined to help him.

Seventh period came around and the new directions went and took their places around the table and Kurt walked over to the corner where Blaine was sitting alone, as usual. He looked over at Mercedes who smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hey Blaine" Blaine looked up and gave Kurt a huge grin. Kurt's stomach did flips at the sight of it. So perfect. The way his eyes sparkled and that smile could light up a whole room. He took a seat beside him on a chair Blaine must have already pulled up beside him. They spent the period going over some math homework.

"You're actually better at all this than me. Not that you shouldn't be I just mean it should probably be you helping me at this stage."

Blaine laughed. He loved that Kurt talked to him like any other kid his age and not a five year old.  Seventh period ended and Blaine and Kurt where left on their own in the classroom.

"I don't know if you want to but maybe we could talk and you could reply by writing? It's totally okay if you don't"

Blaine smiled and took out a notebook and pen from his bag. Kurt went to his bag to pull out his lunch and when he looked back the notebook was laid open with writing.

"I like you're eyes =)" Kurt looked up at Blaine who was now blushing.

"I like yours too." Blaine blushed even harder now and smiled down towards the ground.

They continued this form of communication throughout lunch just talking about normal stuff like music and t.v shows until the bell went.

"So I'll see you Monday?" Kurt smiled as he got up.

Blaine grabbed Kurt's arm signalling him to stay as he wrote something down on the pad of paper. He pushed it over into Kurt's view and did an awkward half smile up at him.

"Could I get your number and maybe take you to a movie this weekend?.. If you want too"

Kurt felt his heart skip a beat and smiled maybe a little to eagerly back at Blaine.

"Do you have a car?" Blaine nodded a yes. "Okay I'll give you my number and you can text me when you want to go and I'll text you on my address, that cool?" Kurt asked as he scribbled down his number.

Blaine smiled at him and Kurt waved bye.

They planned to go to the movies on Friday night and at seven on the dot Kurt heard a knock on the door. He opened it to find Blaine in a pair of black jeans, shirt and black leather jacket.

"Wow you look... good" Kurt said a bit breathlessly and Blaine smiled and gestured towards Kurt outfit and nodded as if telling him he looked good to.

"Kurt who's at the door?" Kurt rolled his eyes at the sound of his dad and Carol making their way down the stairs when they knew very well who was at the door.

"I'm sorry but he insisted on meeting you before we left" Blaine smiled understandingly and made his way towards Burt and held out his hand for him to shake.

"Hey, Blaine right? I'm Burt and this is my wife Carol. Carol gave Blaine a warm smile and shook his hand. "So you're just going to the movies right? And then you'll drive him straight home?" Blaine nodded and Burt still looked like he had a hundred more questions but Carol gave his shoulder a squeeze.

"Okay well have fun and Kurt text me when you're on your way home okay?"

"Yes okay dad I'll see you later" Kurt grabbed Blaine's arm and pulled him out the door before Burt could change his mind.

Blaine ran ahead of Kurt and opened the passenger door for him and Kurt smiled and slid in. Blaine got in the other side and handed Kurt his iPod for him to choose a song. Kurt scrolled through the songs and selected Katy Perry. Blaine looked over at him with a shocked smile.

They got to the movie and Blaine paid for everything even though Kurt tried to buy his own popcorn Blaine wasn't having it. After the movie Blaine drove Kurt home and walked him to his door. They just stood there for a few seconds looking at each other when Blaine opened his mouth as if he was about to say something but then quickly closed it.

"Blaine, what is it?"

Blaine opened his mouth again and struggled for a minute before letting out a barely there whisper. "Can I kiss you?"

Kurt let out a tiny gasp at the sound of Blaine's voice before nodding and Blaine leaned in and pressed a kiss onto Kurt's lips. He pulled away and smiled before turning to walk to his car and Kurt went inside and ran straight to his room. He ha
