Disclaimer: Don't own Glee. If I did things would have been different with the Warblers and Kurt would have been totally happy.

AN: First Glee fic ever! And I never thought it'd be a Kurt/Rachel (especially since I had started a Puckurt one after 2.06) Anyway, uhm...spoilers for ep till 2.09 and hum...hope you like it!

Chapter 1:

Kurt looked down at the canary in front of him. Blaine had just left and sure he'd been adorable(again) but….Sighed. Kurt really, really missed New Directions. There, he was never told that he was "trying too hard". There was simply no such thing in New Directions. Hell, he had sang "Le jazz hot" by himself with dancers all around him and everyone had LOVED it! He couldn't even imagine the Warblers' reaction if he pulled something like this here. And as much as he hated Shue's favouritism…he still liked having a teacher in charge better than the democracy they have here. And how come he felt like his voice was heard more in a club where the Director of the club only had eyes and ears for Rachel and Finn than in this democratic system? Blaine was nice and kept saying that he'd adapt himself…that he'd fit in but right now it didn't feel like it. Probably because in New Directions, there had been nothing required of him to do to fit in. He stayed completely his fabulous self and fit right in. He supposed Blaine was right about things getting better but…suddenly his phone rang and interrupted his thoughts. It was Rachel. Kurt raised an eyebrow. Sure Rachel and he had been friendlier recently and he had felt like he was connecting with her at some point but…it was still unusual for her to call him. Especially crying hysterically.

"Rachel?" Kurt asked "RACHEL!" he screamed into the phone, trying to make his friend snap out of it. "What's wrong? Please calm down I can't hear you ok? Are you hurt? Did Karofsky or Azimio do something?" He asked, a bit worried. Now that their favourite target had left the school who knew who the would go after next? Actually, one could guess. They hated Kurt for his differences, his individuality. If there was one person at WMHS who stood out, proud of who she was, and not compromising herself to please others(well not to please bullies anyway) it was Rachel Berry. That girl was out there in your face! And after everything that happened, he didn't put it past Karosfky to hurt a girl.

"Rachel please tell me where you are! I need to know if you're safe!"

"I am" Rachel sobbed "It's all my fault. I was so stupid Kurt. And now he hates me"

"Finn" Kurt said simply. Of course it had to do with Finn. "What has he done now?"

"He…he broke up with me"

"What?"Kurt asked surprised. He knew how crazy his now-official-stepbrother was for one Rachel Berry (though most people would say he was simply crazy). What in the world could have happened.

"I really need a friend right now Kurt and….and the others….they're not friends…they hate me….or they will because of what I did to Finn" Rachel cried. That made Kurt think. When he had seen Rachel at Sectionals, she was angry at Finn for sleeping with Santana the year before and now she had done something that had obviously upset Finn so what…? Oh no. Oh no. She didn't.

"Rachel, hun. Please tell me you did not get back at Finn for sleeping with someone else by sleeping with another guy. Please. I don't think I can help you if you did"

"K..k..kissed. Not sex, never sex. Kissed. *sobs*Kissed Puck." Kurt sighed loudly and put his head between his knees. He really, really didn't need this right now. But when everyone seemed so happy with solo partners and he was all alone, Rachel was the one who saw how truly upset he was. She was the one who tried to help. He owed it to her to her to at least offer an attentive ear in her time of distress, no matter how in the wrong she was for kissing Puck. "Well, at least you didn't sleep with him" Kurt said lamely. He didn't really know what to say to her.

"Puck pushed me away. Said he couldn't do this to Finn again" Rachel told her friend, having settled down and stopped crying for now.

Kurt's eyes widened in surprise. "Uh. Would you look at that. Puckerman grew a conscience since I left"

"Yes" Rachel said quietly. Her voice sounded raw from crying too much and he could hear her blow her nose. "Apparently he told Karosfky he was on his hit list for what he did to you."

If Kurt had been surprised before at manwhore Puckerman refusing sex, he was even more surprised at Puck defending him.

"How…nice of him"

"Yes. And how awful of me for what I did to Finn" Kurt sighed. This really didn't feel like the kind of conversation to be had on the phone. Plus, he really felt the need to get out of there.

"Ok Rachel, where are you exactly?"

"The auditorium."

"Ok well go home, take a shower to relax yourself and then take out some tofu ice cream and Broadway music and I'll be there in an hour ok?"

"Ok"

"Good" Kurt was about to turn his phone off when "Kurt?" Rachel asked in a small voice.

"Yes Rachel?"

"You're a really good friend."

Kurt's expression lit up and he had some tears in his eyes. Him a good friend to Rachel Berry? Why did hearing that make him feel better? Somehow that just filled some of the emptiness he felt in his heart. He was a good friend. He was good. How long had it been since he really felt he was good? He thought Dalton would miraculously make everything better but….Kurt shook his head. This wasn't about him. It was about Rachel. Kurt smiled a little at that thought. Yes he had even missed how everything was always about Rachel in New Directions. Although apparently it wasn't the case anymore. And it had to happen after Kurt left. Or maybe at the same time? Shue had wanted to give him a solo on the day he left after all. But that was beside the point.

"Thank you. I know I've been horrible to you before"

"It's fine." She interrupted him "Well not completely. You did hurt me you know. I thought that maybe you had offered a makeover to become my friend but…"

"I should have. You're personality can be irritating and sometimes we're too alike and can't stand each other at those moments, but you're essentially a good person Rachel. And you're very attentive to others. You knew when I was upset while no one else did. You noticed that something was worst than usual with Karosky while everyone else thought it was just the same whole thing. You're ambitious and selfish at times because of it. And you're not the best at dealing with strong emotions just like me and you make mistakes. I'll also never be able to tolerate some of your wardrobe but then I dislike most people's clothes so…Just…wait for me ok. I'll be there soon. I can't promise I'll make things better. But I'll be there for you"

"Ok. Thanks Kurt. That's more than I hoped to receive." Rachel said sadly, then added as an afterthought. "Be careful"

"You too. No driving while crying. I want to see you at your house not the hospital" Rachel chuckled, promising him she'd be careful then hanging up.

Kurt looked at the bird in front of him and then at his watch. Rachel was devastated. She had made a horrible mistake and terribly hurt the boy she had loved forever. Yes she was self-centered but she truly loved Finn. And like all Divas she overreacted. Half-measure and Rachel Berry didn't go hand in hand. She lived emotions much like she sang. Finn couldn't possibly understand that. He couldn't understand how overwhelming and blinding these emotions could be. Kurt could. He didn't condone what she had done at all. It was wrong and Kurt understood Finn's reaction completely. But Rachel hadn't called him to judge her; she was already doing that to herself. No, if he wanted to be a friend he'll support her as much as she can. Help her comes to grip with things and eventually forgive herself and…and Alexander McQueen, how in the world was he supposed to do that? He had been a mess so often recently…well…he guessed Rachel and he would be messed up and miserable together. The bird chirped. The Warbler's canary. The Warblers. With the time it took to go to Lima, have a serious talk with talkative Rachel Berry and come back to Dalton, there was no way Kurt would make it back in time for practice. He loved singing and dancing and Glee was his favourite time of the week but…he looked down at his phone, his wall image being one of the entire WMHS Glee Club. He closed his phone, took the bird and went up to his room to fetch his car keys. He knew where he belonged at that precise moment. His friend needed him; the Warblers didn't.

AN: Ok that's all for chapter 1. Hope you liked it. Next will be the discussion btw Kurt and Rachel and they'll eventually talk about the whole DAlton thing. Oh and if you love how the Warblers and Dalton was written...I'm sorry if my fic sounds criticising. Don't be offended I reacted bery emotionally to the ep, things will turn down, plus well feel free to stop reading it. Although I'd like ppl to read it and give feedback 'cause it's my first Glee fic.
