When they stopped outside her house, Santana leant over the centre console of the car pulling Kurt into a tight hug, which he quickly returned.

“Do you want me to give you a lift to school tomorrow morning?” He asked already expecting her answer of no.

“No, I’ll drive. Then I can just meet you at Blaine’s house after glee club and cheerios practice.” She said as she got out of the car. “See you tomorrow Hummel.” She called back with a wink as she reached the front door.

...

The next morning as Kurt put the finishing touches to his hair, he ran through the plan he and Santana had come up with the previous day of how they were going to tell the New Directions about what had happened to Blaine. They’d decided that seeing as none of the New Directions even knew Blaine and Santana were friends; it would make more sense for Kurt to tell them.

Sighing, Kurt got up from his vanity, grabbed his bag and headed down the stairs. He was not looking forward to today, he just had to make it through glee club then he could visit Blaine again. Thinking of his boyfriend, Kurt got out his phone and sent him a quick text.

To: Blaine
Hey Blaine, I hope you aren’t in too much pain. I miss you, text if you need me or if anything happens and I’ll be right over! Love you x

“Come on Finn,” he called back up the stairs to his step-brother, “We’re going to be late for school!” he shouted as Finn’s heavy footfalls could be heard on the landing above.
As Finn came hurtling down the stairs, pulling his jacket on as he went. Kurt rolled his eyes and walked out the front door and over to his car, shouting a goodbye to his dad and Carol as he went.

The day passed rather uneventfully, without Kurt being slushied or shoved into lockers, all he had to put up with were the whispered slurs that were thrown at him as he walked down the hallways of McKinley. By the time glee club had rolled around Kurt was ready to tell the rest of his friends what had happened to Blaine.

“Ok guys.” Mr Schue started as he walked into the choir room clapping his hands.

“Mr Schue? If I may?” Kurt asked cutting him of as he stood up.

“Um, sure Kurt, the floor’s all yours.” He replied gesturing for Kurt to move to the front of the choir room.

“Ok,” Kurt started, his eye flickering to Santana who gave him a small encouraging nod. “As you all may have noticed, I wasn’t in school yesterday. But I wasn’t sick like Finn told you. I was with Blaine. He was attacked a few days ago and ended up in hospital. He was lucky someone heard what was going on and stopped the group of men from attacking him before serious damage was done.” Kurt paused, trying to collect his thoughts; this was harder and more painful than he thought it was going to be. He looked up, Santana catching his eye and nodding encouragingly at him.
“He was in hospital overnight. Those ignorant homophobes put him there.” Kurt closed his eyes and tried to take a steadying breath to regain his composure, when he felt someone take his hand beside him. He looked up to see Santana out of her seat and facing the rest of the New Directions.

“Blaine’s doctor was my dad,” She said picking up from where Kurt had left off. “Blaine suffered from three broken and two cracked ribs, as well as a slight concussion. He was really lucky not to have punctured a lung. Not that it was lucky he was attacked.” She looked up at the faces of the rest of the New Directions; all but Finn had confused expressions on their faces. For all they knew Blaine and Santana had only met a few times when Kurt brought him to New Directions parties, none of them could figure out why she knew all of this.

“Blaine’s my friend, and I care about him. He’s been through a lot and Kurt and I wanted to show him how much we all care. And even if you guys have only met him a few times, you all care too. We can all see how happy he’s made Kurt, and he is a really good guy. He didn’t deserve any of this.”

“So, Santana and I would like your help. I can tell he’s in pain and afraid even if he’s trying his best to hide it. We want to show him we care, and I don’t know, help him feel safe again. But we need your help. We want to sing to him, maybe this Friday?” Kurt finished looking at each of the New Directions in turn.

“Of course we’ll help Kurt.” Rachel said quietly, “He makes you happy, and we’ve seen you make him happy too, so I’m sure I can speak for all of us when I say we’d all love to help.” Rachel finished the other members of the glee club nodding behind her.

“Ok guys, did you have any songs in mind?” Mr Schue asked from where he was sat on the piano stool.

“Yes, we did. We were thinking we should sing something that will show him he may feel vulnerable now but he isn’t. And I have just the song.” Kurt said suddenly excited to put their plan into action. Blaine was going to love it.

...

Straight after glee club as everyone left chatting about how good the performance for Blaine was going to be Santana walked over to Kurt.

“I just need to talk with Coach Sue, and then I’ll see you at Blaine’s.” She told him. “I’m glad everyone was willing to help, it sounds so much better than just our two voices. Ok, I’d better go, see you in a bit” She finished pecking him on the cheek and turning to leaving the choir room after Kurt nodded in reply.

...

The entire car ride to Blaine’s Kurt was buzzing in his seat. He couldn’t wait until this Friday; Blaine was going to love it.

Getting out of his car Kurt rushed to the front door of his boyfriend’s house, receiving a quick hug from Blaine’s mum before all but running into the front room to see his boyfriend.

Cristina Anderson chucked as she watched Kurt run to where her son was, and went back upstairs to where she was working in their home office.

“BLAINE!” Kurt called as he rushed into the room. “I missed you!” he said as he carefully pulled Blaine in for a hug being careful of his injuries.

“I missed you too.” Blaine replied leaning in to kiss Kurt. “How was school?” he asked as he shifted over carefully to make room for Kurt on the sofa bed.

“Not too bad, no slushies or locker shoves today.” He replied with a shrug as he settled into the spot next to Blaine, wrapping an arm carefully around his boyfriend’s waist.

Blaine nodded, that was good he guessed. “How was glee club?” He asked slightly wary of the answer. He knew Kurt and Santana had planned to tell them about what had happened.

“It was fine,” He replied with a smile. “Everyone sends their love and that all hope you get better quickly. Mike was probably the most upset when he found out if I’m honest, I was surprised, and I didn’t know you’d even spoken to him.”

Blaine chuckled. “Oh, Mike and I are friends, we met at camp when we were kids, and I thought I’d told you that before.”

Kurt shook his head. “No? Wow, what a small world.” He said with a smile kissing his boyfriend on the corner of his mouth.

“I know.” Blaine nodded with a smile. “Hey Kurt?” Blaine asked waiting for Kurt to turn and face him.

“Yeah?” Kurt started to reply before he was cut off by Blaine’s lips on his own. He immediately melted into the kiss. This was one of the things he’d missed doing since Blaine had gone into hospital. Kurt was afraid he’d hurt him so hadn’t tried.

The pair spent the next half an hour exchanging lazy kisses cuddled up together on the sofa bed before they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat by the door.

“Oh!” Kurt squeaked as he looked up to see Santana in the doorway, a slight smirk on her lips. “Santana, we, uh, didn’t know you were here.” Kurt said feeling the blush beginning to rise on his cheeks.

From where she was standing in the doorway, Santana laughed rolling her eyes as she moved into the room and walked over to sit on Blaine’s other side.

“I see you found a way to entertain yourselves until I arrived then.” She said with a wink as each of the boys blushed. “Your mom let me in Blaine, she said she was going out and would be back around nine.” Santana said looking at Blaine.

“How was your meeting with Coach Sue?” Kurt asked as an attempt to change the subject. “What was it about?” He asked slightly intrigued.
Santana laughed “Oh, I’m sure you’ll figure it out at school tomorrow she said with a smile, standing up to put a DVD on. “Moulin Rouge or Hairspray?” She asked holding up the two DVDs.

“Moulin Rouge.” Blaine replied quickly, Santana had told him why she had a meeting with the cheerleading coach, but she didn’t want anyone else to know until the next day.

Kurt looked at his boyfriend exchange a quick glance with Santana, Blaine knew something he didn’t. He didn’t like it but if he really needed to know Blaine would have told him.

...

After the movie Santana got up kissing both boys on the cheek before saying goodbye and that if she didn’t see Blaine tomorrow she’d call him.

Kurt had to admit he was curious about whatever it was Blaine and Santana were keeping from him. But he realised that after Santana left he and Blaine would be alone in his house. A moment alone that Kurt intended on fully taking advantage of.

“So, what do you want to do now?” Blaine asked turning to his boyfriend, missing the mischievous glint in his eye.

“Oh I have an idea.” He responded leaning forward so that his lips were just millimetres from Blaine’s who he heard take a sharp intake of breath, before Kurt closed the space between them and let their lips work against each other in a passionate kiss.

After a while Kurt leaned back slightly breathless, his cheeks flushed and his hair not in its usual immaculate state from where Blaine’s fingers had been tangled in his hair.

After sharing a few, more chaste kisses Kurt leant back, his head resting gently on Blaine’s.

“Oh!” Kurt said sitting up. “I’m such a terrible boyfriend!” he said. Blaine looked at him confused.

“What on earth would lead you to make that conclusion, Kurt? We just spent the past twenty minutes making out.” Blaine said looking at Kurt as though he’d gone mad.

Kurt looked at him, Blaine was taken aback to see tears starting to form in Kurt’s eyes. “I never even asked how you were feeling!” Kurt said in a small voice. “You’ve been at home all day injured and I never even asked if you were in pain or if I could get you anything!” Kurt said.

Blaine could sense his boyfriend becoming hysterical so he reached up to wipe away the tear that was falling down his cheek. “Kurt, look at me. I’m fine, if I’m honest with you I was glad you didn’t ask if I was feeling better, or if I was in pain, or any of those questions. That’s all my parents have asked me since I’ve been home, Kurt. I know it’s just because they care, and are worried about me. And yes I woke up crying because I had a night mare about what happened, but I like that you treated me like just me, Kurt. I would have told you if anything was wrong or if I needed anything...” Blaine trailed off at the stern look Kurt was giving him.

“Why didn’t you tell me about the nightmare, Blaine? You promised me you would this morning!” Kurt said pulling out his phone to show Blaine the reply he had sent that morning.

FROM: Blaine
Hi, no I’m not in pain, but I miss you too! I promise I will call or text you if anything what so ever happens. But it won’t I’m sure. Have fun at school, I’ll see you tonight. Love you too xo

Blaine read the text he’d sent Kurt that morning. “I just didn’t want you to worry.” Blaine said in a small voice not looking at Kurt.

“Blaine, I always worry about you,” Kurt said with a small chuckle rolling his eyes. “But you need to tell me when stuff like this happens or I won’t be able to help.” Kurt said looking into Blaine’s eyes “Promise to tell me next time?” he asked.

“Yeah I promise.” Blaine said in a small voice.

“Good.” Kurt said pressing a soft kiss on Blaine’s lips.
