It was the beginning of October; Kurt sat on the edge of the stage in the Auditorium at McKinley High alone. He was twirling the simple white gold band that was situated on the left ring finger. It was identical to the one on Blaine's finger.

Kurt had helped Blaine decorate his room in the Anderson's new home in Lima. The room was done out in steel grey and burgundy. The day they had finished decorating he had sat with Blaine on the bed and Kurt had presented the rings to Blaine.

"Kurt, you've really out done yourself. I love this room almost as much as I love you." He leaned over and pecked Kurt on the lips.

"I've got something for you … us really. I know it's usually you who makes the grand gestures but I thought I would give it a go. I love you with all my heart. I want to spend the rest of my life with you but I know we're only seventeen and not ready yet to get engaged. So I would like us to wear these promise rings as a promise that we will never keep things from each other, we will always support each other and as a symbol of our love."

"I would be honoured to wear your ring. I want the same things for our future." The boys slipped the rings on each other's fingers.

Kurt had been so lost in his thoughts he had not heard Blaine enter the Auditorium. He didn't realise that he was there until his boyfriend placed his hands on his knees. He took in a deep breath of Blaine's cologne.

"What's up? I've been looking for you."

"Uh, nothing?"

"See that would have been convincing if it hadn't been a question. What is it and why don't you want to tell me?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you. It's that I know how you're going to react and I don't want you to get all protective. I can handle it myself."

"Okay now you're worrying me." Kurt looked at Blaine apprehensively.

"Karofsky kissed me again. I closed my locker and he was there. He grabbed me and kissed me. I managed to push him off but when I told him I wasn't interested because I love you he said "We'll see."

Blaine pushed himself away from Kurt and started to walk towards the exit. Kurt jumped off the stage and started to chase him.

"Where are you going?"

"To put a stop to this. No one messes with my family!"

"What happened to me handling this myself and you not getting all protective? As for your family how will your Mom feel when you get kicked out of school for fighting? What about when he presses charges? It'll go on your record and that will affect our future, our plan of escaping here and going to New York."

Blaine stopped. Kurt was right. His Mom would be pissed. She was finally doing a job she enjoyed, something she hadn't had in years. He owed it to her not to mess this up for her. She had always been supportive of him even when his Dad had taken a while to get used to having a gay son.

Kurt was also right about Karofsky pressing charges. There was no way that they could both go to New York if he had a criminal record no would ever consider his applications.

Blaine took a deep breath in defeat.

"So what are we going to do? We're in this together."

"Well I was thinking of taking a leaf out of your book and do a little Pink. We just need Santana to help us convince Karofsky to come to Glee practice tomorrow"

When the boys told Santana what had happened she was more than willing to help. During her "little chat" with Karofsky where she actually produced a razor blade from her hair. She informed him that he was going to come to Glee practice as the guest of Kurt AND Blaine, he wasn't going to go anywhere near them or she was going to use the blade to slice his balls off and leave him to bleed to death.

"Kurt seriously never let me get on the wrong side of her. She scares the crap out of me."

"Don't worry our no outing policy keeps us safe."

The next day Karofsky sat in the Choir Room nervously. He was doing as he was told cause let's face it you had to be stupid to cross Santana. Flinn entered the room and his eyes flashed red.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kurt and the other New Directions filed into the room behind him.

"Down bro! I invited him. I've got something I want to say to him. Blaine, Santana can you be my back up singers?"

Once everyone was seated Kurt began to sing looking straight at Karofsky.

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

Check it out, goin' out on the late night

Lookin' tight, feelin' nice, it's a cock fight

I can tell, I just know that it's goin' down tonight

At the door we don't wait 'cause we know them

At the bar, six shots, just beginnin'

That's when dickhead put his hands on me, but you see

Everyone looked between Karofsky and Kurt. What was going on here? Karofsky had been true to his word and left Kurt alone. Hadn't he?

I'm not here for your entertainment

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Just stop and take a second

I was fine before you walked into my life

'Cause you know it's over

Before it began

Keep your drink just give me the money

It's just u + ur hand tonight

Finn stared at Kurt. What the hell? Did he just suggest what he thought he'd suggested?

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

Midnight, I'm drunk, I don't give a fuck

Wanna dance by myself, guess you're outta luck

Don't touch, back up, I'm not the one, uh buh-bye!

Listen up it's just not happenin'

You can say what you want to your boyfriends

Just let me have my fun tonight, a'ight?

Blaine noticed all the guys in the room suddenly looked at Karofsky. You could tell it had just clicked in their head. They were all thinking: "Oh My God Karofsky is gay and he tried it on with Kurt."

I'm not here for your entertainment

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Just stop and take a second

I was fine before you walked into my life

'Cause you know it's over

Before it began

Keep your drink just give me the money

It's just u + ur hand tonight

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!

(Break break break, break it, break it down)

You're in the corner with your boys, you bet 'em five bucks

You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck

We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see

So quit spillin' your drinks on me, yeah

You know who you are

High-fivin', talkin' shit

But you're going home alone, aren't ya?

Karofsky looked absolutely mortified. He definitely got the message.

'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Just stop and take a second

I was fine before you walked into my life

'Cause you know it's over

Before it began

Keep your drink just give me the money

It's just u + ur hand tonight

I'm not here for your entertainment

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Just stop and take a second

I was fine before you walked into my life

'Cause you know it's over

Before it began

Keep your drink just give me the money

It's just u + ur hand tonight

The room was silent. Finn was the first one to move, diving at Karofsky. Quickly Puck, Mike, Sam and Lauren held him back before he could do some damage. Finn was shouting all his rage out of his body

"Are you delusional? What did you think you were doing coming on to him? Like he would ever go anywhere near you even if you were the last man on Earth! Don't you have any respect? There is no way you could compete with Blaine. He's a gentleman and you're just a thug."

With that Karofsky got up and ran from the room. Everyone sat down quietly stunned at what had just been revealed.

Puck looked at Kurt.

"Dude, can I just get this straight? Karofsky is gay. That's why he bullied you and he came on to you."

Kurt nodded his head. Mercades looked confused.

"Hang on I thought you guys had a no outing policy?"

"We do. It's not Kurt's fault you guys figured it out by yourselves but can this stay in this room guys? It's difficult coming out of that closet without being dragged out of it."

Everyone in the room muttered "Sure". Mr Schu slowly got up. He looked completely shell socked.

"Okay I think we need to move on. So SECTIONALS!"

After practice was finished Finn, Kurt and Blaine was walking to Blaine's car.

"Dudes … How long have you know about Karofsky?"

"Since I went to spy on the Warblers."

"Really? Wow. So that's why Blaine turned up for Lunch that day. Kurt you're my brother and I love you man. I need to know the truth. Did he try to force himself on you … I mean rape you or anything cause like if he did I'm sorry for not picking up on it and I'll completely support you."

Kurt and Blaine gave each other a sweet smile, knowing how hard that had been for Finn to say.

"No Finn he didn't try to rape me. He kissed me last year just after I met Blaine and again yesterday. He seemed like he was going to try to split us up so we decide to make it clear once and for all that I wasn't interested."

"But why didn't you just out him?"

"As I said earlier it's difficult coming out of that closet without being dragged out of it. Some guys can't handle coming out so much they kill themselves. Remember what it felt like when Kurt tried to convert you Finn and treble it. That's what it's like."

"Besides I didn't think anyone would believe me."

"Okay."

"And Finn, I love you too."

All three boys got into the car with a smile on their faces.
