A/N: Alright let me start by saying this is the first Glee story I have ever written. I just started to get interested in Glee this year and I have gone back to watch all of the seasons. I just love Blaine so I find myself with numerous stories in my head for him. so I have been busy writing quite a bit of Glee stories in the last couple of weeks. This is my first stab at it so please be nice.
WARNINGS: I'll specify warnings in each chapter as they vary. This chapter had mild language, male/male kiss and bullying. Nothing too heavy yet.
Please review and let me know what you think so far. The characters will have moments where they are OOC. Also I have changed a few things in the story line. Blaine is sixteen and in grade 11 (I'm Canadian so I'm not sure what that would be in U.S) He's also a little more shy when it comes to more than just singing. He plays the piano, but Kurt had never heard him. I tried to make this story dig deeper into Blaine and his emotions that he seems to leave unsaid.

Chapter 1
Blaine woke up that morning to the sound of his parents arguing. He was getting used to the sound, but that didn't mean he wanted to wake up that way every day. It was just after seven in the morning and Blaine knew he had to get up so he could get to school. Blaine had always liked school, he was good at it and it always felt like he could just be himself and not have to worry. Now that he was at McKinley High Blaine was even able to wear his own clothing as appose to the uniform at Dalton. That didn't mean that he didn't miss his blazer and tie. He missed the friendships that he had at Dalton for the last three years. Some of those friendships were even longer than that, some went as far back as the sixth grade. Blaine was happy at McKinley though with Kurt and he had made new friends. Plus in the area that he lived in he still saw a lot of his old friends from Dalton. Blaine just transferred schools, not neighbourhoods. Blaine got up and decided to get ready for school, he didn't mind being a little early if it meant that he didn't have to listen to his parents screaming at each other. If they had lived in a different neighbourhood the neighbours might have said something by now, but the houses were pretty far apart so no one ever heard his parents. Plus Blaine lived in the more wealthy part of town and most were very used to looking the other way. Blaine had done his best to ignore his parents and their harsh words to each other and to him. It wasn't always like this, they used to be a happy family, but three years ago it all started to change. His parents started to change. His father was always trying to get Blaine to be straight and go out with girls. That got worse each time Blaine came home from school with bruises from other students. His father started yelling at him for being gay and his grades or his chores. His mother started going out and staying out all night. Blaine didn't know what happened to his parents' relationship, but it was making his life harder. The angrier his father got at his mother the angrier he got towards Blaine. His father had never laid a hand on him, but in moments of rage he had said some horrible things to him. The one that always hurts the worse is faggot. He had heard it from people in his school, but to hear his own father call him it always brought tears to his eyes. After being attacked when he was fourteen at the school dance he started to take up boxing. That had made his father happy for a little while. Boxing wasn't something that a gay man did, it was for straight men. Even though Blaine was gay, he never thought of himself as a gay man. He wasn't feminine he was masculine. He could work on cars and box or play sports. He could do all of those things and still like guys. In truth the only sport he did like was boxing and that was because he felt empowered and strong. Blaine wasn't one for violence though, so he only ever boxed when he was in a fight at school or someone was attacking him. He had started Dalton's fight club as a way to help teach others to box and to have little spars with people. Nothing serious or dangerous it was all just for fun. Blaine didn't like fighting someone outside of the ring and thankfully he hadn't been put into that position since he was thirteen. Blaine walked out into the hallway and he heard part of the argument that his parents were having.
"I'm sick of this with you. Every day it's the same thing!" His mother yelled.
"You think I don't know what you are doing when you go out at night. I'm not putting up with it anymore!" His father yelled back.
Blaine didn't know what they were talking about, but he wasn't in the mood to listen to it anymore. So Blaine headed into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once he was showered and dressed he headed downstairs and grabbed a Poptart before he headed out to his car. He was going to grab some coffee before he headed to school. He would normally get some in his kitchen, but he wasn't in the mood to listen to another argument from his parents. Blaine drove to his favorite coffee shop while he ate his Poptart. He parked his car and saw that it wasn't busy yet this early in the morning. Blaine went in and grabbed his coffee and headed back towards his car. He was just at his car and was about to open his door when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Blaine turned around to see that Sebastian was standing there. Blaine was not impressed. He hadn't seen Sebastian since he threw the Slushie at him, a Slushie that had rock salt in it resulting in Blaine having to have surgery on his eye. Blaine turned back to his car and placed his coffee cup down on the roof of it, just in case. Blaine really didn't have much luck with liquids in the past and the last thing he wanted was hot coffee on him.
"What do you want?" Blaine asked with a serious angry voice.
"What no hello? You sound a little hostile there Blaine, is gay face not fulfilling your needs?" Sebastian said with a smirk on his face.
"His name is Kurt. Now what do you want?"
"I can't just come over and say hello?"
"No you can't. You threw a Slushie with rock salt at me. I had to have surgery on my eye because of you."
"That wasn't meant for you, it was meant for the boyfriend. It's not my fault you pushed him out of the way."
"Oh and that makes it better? Stay the hell away from me and from Kurt."
"Look, I'm sorry about your eye. It was wrong of me, but you can't blame me. You are so much better than him and deserve someone better. You deserve to be with me. You can't tell me you don't want it." Sebastian said as he moved closer to Blaine.
Blaine put his hand up and gently pushed Sebastian away from him.
"I have no interest in anyone other than Kurt. Even if I did you would be the last person I would ever do anything with. I love Kurt."
"He doesn't deserve you. I know you feel something for me. I can tell by the way you smile at me."
"Get it straight Sebastian; I want nothing to do with you ever. Stay the hell away from me." Blaine said in a serious voice.
"You like to play hard to get eh? I can play rough."
Sebastian pushed Blaine so hard his back slammed into his driver side door. Before Blaine could even react Sebastian had his right hand on the back of Blaine's neck holding him in place as he kissed him. It took Blaine a few moments get over the shock, but once he did he brought his hands up to Sebastian's chest and started to push him away. He was finally able to get Sebastian off from him, but Blaine could see the anger on his face.
"You think you can reject me? I don't get rejected. I always get what I want in the end. You're a Warbler, not one of those freaks. You can't just turn your back on us." Sebastian said with a deadly anger.
"I'm not, but that doesn't mean I have to have anything to do with you. Don't ever touch me again."
"You don't want me then the Warblers don't want you. Do you really want to make us enemies all over gay face?" Sebastian said in a deadly tone.
"Kurt, his name is Kurt. I'm done with this conversation. The Warblers are my friends regardless of if I am with you or not."
"See that's where you are wrong. You left us for those losers and now you insult me, the new head of the Warblers. We can make your life hell. Is he really worth it?" Sebastian said.
"If I lose friendships that I have had for years over something as stupid as not being interested in you, then fine. They obviously weren't my friends to begin with. Stay the hell away from me and Kurt."
"Fine have it your way." Sebastian said in a deadly tone.
Blaine thought he was going to leave him alone, but instead Sebastian took a couple steps back and swung at Blaine. Blaine didn't expect it to happen so he didn't have the chance to block or dodge the punch. It hit him right on his right eye, the one that was just healed from surgery. The punch was so strong Blaine's body turned and he hit the side of his car. He brought his hand up to his eye and saw that Sebastian had already headed back to his own car. Blaine instantly felt the pain radiating through his head and eye. Blaine couldn't help, but wonder if the punch was going to do any damage to his newly healed eye. Blaine moved his hand away from his face and he could feel his right eye and cheek stating to swell up. Blaine knew he would need to put some ice on it so he got into his car and put his coffee into the cup holder. He drove off towards the school so he could see the school nurse. He knew that the nurse would be in by now, all the teachers would be there getting ready for the day. Blaine wasn't looking forward to explaining this to everyone, especially Kurt. They already didn't like Sebastian and Blaine knew this wasn't going to make it any better. Regionals were coming up next month and Blaine didn't want any distractions or anything happening that would get them disqualified. Blaine knew that the team was like a family and they didn't like it when someone got hurt. Blaine could handle this though; he didn't need anyone to stick up for him. He would tell Kurt, but that was it. He could handle his own problems. He didn't need anyone to fight his own battles.
Blaine drove to the school and could actually feel his eye pulsing with pain. He got out of his car and headed into the school quickly without drawing too much attention to himself. He headed inside and went straight to the nurse's office. He walked in and saw her getting her things in order for today.
"Excuse me Nurse Stevens." Blaine said politely.
The nurse looked up and saw that it was Blaine standing there and he had a nasty black eye. His eye was already black all around and his right half of his face was slightly swollen and red. She came over to him to get a better look.
"What happened?"
"Just some stupid fight. It was just a misunderstanding. I was just hoping to get an ice pack for it please."
"A misunderstanding eh? Where I come from misunderstandings don't end up with black eyes." The nurse said as she went over to the freezer to grab an ice pack.
"It was nothing. The whole thing is straightened out."
The nurse handed Blaine his ice pack and Blaine placed it against his eye. He held back the hiss as he thanked the nurse.
"Thank-you. I should get ready for school. I'll come by later and drop this back off."
"Are you sure you're alright?" The nurse asked with some concern.
"I'm fine really." Blaine said with one of his winning smiles as he left the room.
Blaine headed down to his locker with the ice pack pressed against his face. Blaine couldn't help, but feel tired without his morning coffee, but he had no interest in anything right now. Blaine's right half of his face hurt and the last thing he wanted to do was put anything into his stomach that could make it more upset. Blaine didn't know what he was going to do. He didn't expect that Sebastian would kiss him. He also didn't expect for Sebastian to hit him when Blaine rejected him. The truth was even if he wasn't with Kurt; he still wouldn't have any interest in someone like Sebastian. He just wasn't his type and it really was that simple. The problem he had now was that it wasn't that simple. If Sebastian wasn't going to give it up then Blaine knew he was in for more annoyance and potentially more pain. Blaine knew that everyone in Glee would be asking him about his eye. The problem was Blaine didn't want to tell them what happened; he didn't want them to know that Sebastian had kissed him and punched him. They were already still upset over his eye and now this would just make it worse. They couldn't risk getting in trouble or they would be disqualified from the competition and Blaine was not going to let all of their hard work go down the drain for him. Blaine got to his locker and just leaned against it with his back. He closed his eyes for a few minutes as he tried to get the pain to lessen. It was almost time for school and Blaine knew that Kurt would be coming to see him soon. They always met up at his locker, because usually Kurt got here first. Blaine had a little bit of a drive to get to McKinley, but he didn't mind if that meant he could be with Kurt on his senior year. Blaine knew that Kurt wanted to go to New York next year and Blaine wanted to see him as much as possible before that happened.
It was ten minutes later when he heard Kurt calling out to him.
"Blaine" Kurt said with concern as he saw the ice pack from where he was down the hall. Rachel and Finn were also with him and both had concern looks on their faces as they approached Blaine.
Kurt came right over to Blaine and Blaine spoke.
"I'm fine." Blaine said without moving the ice pack from his right eye.
"What happened? Is your eye bothering you after the surgery?" Kurt asked with concern.
"Not exactly." Blaine said as he slowly moved the ice pack off from his face.
Blaine figured his eye looked worse than he thought based on the faces of Kurt, Rachel and even Finn. Blaine's eye was not only red, it was black it went from his eye down to his cheek bone.
"Dude, what happened to you?" Finn asked.
"I'm fine." Blaine said. He was about to put the ice pack back on his eye when Kurt stopped his hand so he could look at his eye better.
"You are not fine. Almost half of your face is black. Who hit you?" Kurt said as he took the ice pack from Blaine's hand and gently placed it against his injured face. Blaine hissed at the contact as he spoke.
"Sebastian, at the coffeehouse on my way to school."
"We need to tell Mr. Schue. First he almost blinds you and now this. Something has to be done to get him expelled." Rachel said.
"Its' fine, I don't want to start anything with Regionals coming up. He was just mad that I rejected him, it's over now." Blaine said.
"You don't know that. Dude he threw a Slushie at you with rock salt in it. You had to have surgery; you missed almost two weeks of school. Now half of your face is black and blue from him. You need to stand up for yourself. Hit him back, you know how to box." Finn said.
"I didn't get the chance to fight back, he was gone before I could even register to hit back. This isn't about standing up for myself; this is about not making a small problem turn into a huge problem. It's over now; he got it out of his system. I'm not going to go telling anyone, but I won't cover for him either."
"Did you see the nurse?" Kurt asked.
"Ya it's fine. My eye sight is fine, it just hurts."
The bell rang and they all had to get to class.
"We have class, we'll see you later Blaine." Rachel said.
"Feel better buddy." Finn said.
"Thanks guys."
Blaine took the ice pack back from Kurt and he turned to grab his books from his locker. Kurt grabbed them from him and Kurt could see that Blaine was hiding something from him.
"Something else happened didn't it?" Kurt asked with concern.
"Before Sebastian hit me something happened. It didn't mean anything to me and I didn't want it to happen, Kurt you have to believe me." Blaine said with worry in his voice.
"I believe you. What happened?" Kurt asked.
"We were talking or arguing I should say. He pushed me against the driver side door of my car and he kissed me. I pushed him away and that's when he hit me. I rejected him and he said that I made an enemy out of the Warblers."
Kurt let out a sigh as he turned to start walking Blaine to class. Blaine walked beside him.
"Why didn't you say that before?" Kurt asked with a tightness to his voice, but Blaine knew it wasn't directed towards him.
"Because I wanted to tell you first and I don't want people to really know about it. The team still doesn't really trust me. I mean it's great that Finn isn't giving me crap anymore, but Puck still thinks I'm a spy for Dalton. I just want this to go away and not make a big deal out of it."
"Fine, but I'm not going to let anyone say that you're a spy. If someone starts something today in Glee I'm not going to sit there and let them attack you."
"I'm fine. I can fight my own battles Kurt."
They stopped out front of Blaine's class and Kurt handed his books over to him. Blaine placed them in his left hand and said goodbye to Kurt. They would meet up later on in the day like they always do. Blaine had spent the rest of the day going from class to class. People looked at him weird, because of the black eye, but he didn't say anything. By the time Glee practise rolled around Blaine didn't have the ice pack on and the blackness to his bruise was even darker than it had been this morning. Blaine put his books away and Kurt was there at his locker waiting for him.
"Hey you." Blaine said with a smile.
"Hey, how's your eye?"
"It hurts, but its' fine. I can see properly so that's all I care about."
"Missed you at lunch."
Blaine closed his locker and they started to walk down the hallway towards the choir room.
"Ya I went to the library instead. Figured I would get a head start on my homework. That and people have been looking at me weird all day. Didn't feel like being the center of attention in the café. Sorry."
"That's okay. I figured as much. Do you have a lot of homework?"
"I have a book report for English that is due Friday. I just finished reading the book today. I'll write it tonight while the book is still fresh in my head."
"What book?"
"The Diary of Anne Frank."
"Ah lucky you. I didn't have to read that, but you are in AP English and I wasn't. Aren't you glad you're so smart?" Kurt lightly teased.
"Definitely. It's more work, but at least I'm not bored in class I guess."
They walked into the class room and everyone immediately noticed Blaine's face. It was hard to miss after all.
"Blaine, what the hell happened to you?" Artie asked.
Blaine and Kurt kept walking to their seats, but the attention of the class got Mr. Schuester's attention as well. Blaine and Kurt sat down in the back row where they usually do and Blaine spoke as he did, still not facing Mr. Schuester.
"I'm fine." Blaine said in a dismissive tone.
"What happen to you? Get into a fight at the GAP over another stupid bowtie." Santana said with a sarcastic tone.
"Really?" Kurt said slightly angry once they were seated.
"What? It was just a joke. Don't get your panties in a twist."
Blaine sat down in the chair and Mr. Schuester had his first chance at seeing Blaine's face. Once he saw that Blaine's eye was black he headed over to him at a quick pace. He bent down slightly to look at Blaine's face and he gently touched Blaine's chin as he looked at his face.
"I'm fine Mr. Schue." Blaine said softly.
"What happened Blaine?" Mr. Schue asked in a serious voice.
"It was nothing. It was just one hit."
"One hit? Man, who hit you the Hulk? Half of your right half of your face is black." Puck said.
"It was Sebastian." Kurt said with anger.
"Douchebag again? Really? He didn't learn from the last time not to leave you alone." Santana said.
Mr. Schue moved back from Blaine and headed back down the two steps so he was on the floor again.
"Blaine, what happened?" Mr. Schue asked in his serious teacher voice.
"I was at the coffeehouse and was about to get into my car when he came over to me. He hit me and that was that. Look, it was nothing." Blaine said trying to get the conversation off from him.
"He just hit you for no reason?" Sam asked.
"He hit me, because I told him no. Apparently, he doesn't like the word no." Blaine said.
"What's wrong he didn't like that you didn't have any information for him and the Warblers."
"Shut up Puck, you don't have any right to say that to him. Sebastian almost blinded him and you think he's telling him information about us." Kurt said in Blaine's defense.
"He told him about how we wanted to do Michael Jackson for Regionals." Puck said.
"I told my friends what we were thinking about doing. They have been my friends for years. I didn't do it to sabotage anyone." Blaine said.
"So what he just punched you for no reason? You told him no, no what?" Puck pushed on.
"It's none of your business." Blaine said back, clearly getting angry.
"Okay guys this isn't the point here." Mr. Schue tried to say.
"It really is. How are we supposed to trust him if he's talking to them and telling them about possible songs we are going to do." Puck said angrily as he stood up and looked at Blaine across the room.
"He kissed me alright. He pushed me against my car and he kissed me. When I finally got him off from me he punched me for rejecting him." Blaine said with anger in his voice.
The room was quiet for a few moments while it sunk in to everyone's mind. Being kissed really wasn't that big of a deal, but the way Sebastian went about doing it made it wrong. It was one thing to try and kiss someone that you thought liked you. It was another to push someone against a car and do it, knowing they didn't like you. Then to punch that person after they reject you was just wrong.
"He what? Why didn't you say something this morning?" Finn asked.
"You knew about this earlier?" Mercedes said.
"We knew about his eye and that it was Sebastian, but not that he kissed him." Rachel said.
"I'm going to kick that bastard's ass." Puck said as he walked down the two steps and was about to start walking out of the room. Mr. Schue grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"No one is going to attack anyone. Sit down Puck."
"Mr. Schue, he shouldn't be able to get away with crap like this. He almost blinded him three weeks ago and now this. Someone has to stop him. I'm gonna kick his little rich boy ass" Puck said.
"Just because I'm gay that doesn't make me a girl. I can fight my own battles. You wouldn't be this upset if it had been a girl." Blaine said annoyed that Puck thought he needed defending.
"You said when you finally got him off from you. How long did that take? How long did you fight against him before you got him away? Couple minutes?" Puck said with annoyance back.
Blaine looked down and everyone knew the answer.
"That's what I thought. I don't care if it was a dude or a girl that did that to you or to anyone else. It doesn't change that it's wrong. I might be an ass, but I would never force anything onto someone. I know you can fight; this ain't about you being gay. This is about what's right. Dude needs to pay." Puck said back with anger.
"Fighting him will only result in us being disqualified from Regionals and being suspended from school. Not to mention his father is a state attorney, so jail is also a possibility. Its' fine, it's over now." Blaine said more calmly.
"You don't know that. Blaine, I'm sorry, but you said Sebastian is turning the Warblers against you. You live in their area. What if they do something to you?" Kurt said.
"Kurt, I'm fine. He was just talking crap." Blaine said.
"Puck, sit down now." Mr. Schue said.
Puck went back to his seat, but he was not happy about it. Mr. Schue turned his attention back to Blaine.
"Has anyone looked at that eye?" Mr. Schue asked Blaine.
"The school nurse did this morning. I've had ice on it most of the day."
"Can you see fine out of it?"
"Ya my eye sight is fine. Really I'm okay."
"Blaine, do you want to report this? We should be reporting it back to Dalton's headmaster." Mr. Schue said.
"There's no point they won't do anything. They didn't when the Warblers saw him throw the Slushie at me. They won't now. No one was in the parking lot and there aren't any cameras. So it's my word against his and his father will have it thrown out before the ink even dries on the paper. Can we just forget about this please? I'm not about to make something out of nothing."
"Blaine, if Sebastian is serious and true to his threat about having the Warblers come after you, that makes this something." Mr. Schue tried to reason.
"Right now it's just words. I'll be careful, but I've been friends with them for years, some since the sixth grade. I don't know Sebastian, but I know them and they know me. They wouldn't do anything. The Warblers' council wouldn't let them even if they wanted to." Blaine said.
"Ya, but they all left you on the ground after that Slushie. They didn't know that Sebastian had put anything in it, but we all knew something was wrong. You were in way too much pain for just food coloring and ice. They would have known something was wrong when they saw you and they didn't do anything. They walked away." Finn said.
"They didn't know anything was in it. If they did they wouldn't have let it happen. Besides the Slushie was for Kurt, not me. Sebastian was looking to hurt Kurt; he didn't know I would push him out of the way."
"Alright look, I can't make you report this. But please be careful and if one more thing happens I will be reporting it, regardless of what you say. I'm not going to let you continue to be hurt and bullied by anyone. It doesn't matter if they aren't from here. Do I make myself clear?" Mr. Schue said in a serious voice.
"Yes." Blaine said.
"If you ever want to talk about it, you know where to find me Blaine."
Blaine just gave a nod and Mr. Schue cleared his throat and clapped his hands together.
"Alright, this week's assignment is powerhouse duets." Mr. Schue said as he wrote it down on the white board. "I want you guys to pair up and come up with a powerhouse duet. It can be about anything, but I want not only the vocals strong, I want the words to the song strong. I want there to be emotions and deep meanings to the songs. It's not enough to be able to sing the roof off a song. You have to have emotions and portray that to your audience. They need to feel what you feel. That is the difference between a singer and an artist. Now those of you in the back row; put your right hand on the shoulder of the person in front of you." Mr. Schue stopped and waited for everyone to do as they were told before he continued. "That will be your duet partner. Everyone is getting too comfortable working with the same people all the time. It's time to mix it up and see what we get out of it."
"Me and Mercedes are going to bring the house down." Kurt said.
"Great I'm with Trouty Mouth." Santana said.
"Are you going to call me that all week?" Sam asked.
"Ya" Santana said with an obvious tone to her voice.
"Well Blaine and I are going to be perfect duet partners. Our voices match up perfectly. No offense honey." Rachel said.
"Fine by me. I got Tina, we might just surprise you." Finn said.
"Alright you know your assignment so let's get to work. We only have a month and a half until Regionals and we need to win." Mr. Schue said with enthusiasm.
"We need to beat those losers." Puck said.
"We'll beat them with our talent, not with our fists." Rachel said.
"Exactly, so let's find us the perfect arrangement." Mr. Schue said.
They all broke up to their partner and started to go over possible songs. Soon enough it was four o'clock and it was time to go home for the night. It was Monday so they had all week to come up with a song and perform it. Blaine was looking forward to going home and listening to some music to find the perfect duet for him and Rachel. Blaine was more into pop and more current songs, whereas Rachel was interested in the Broadway and older songs. Blaine was hoping to find a song that would please them both. Blaine walked to his car with Kurt, Finn and Rachel. Finn would be driving Kurt and Rachel home, but they insisted on walking him to his car.
"Guys, you don't need to walk me to my car. I'm fine."
"We know, but we just want to make sure." Rachel said.
"We just want you safe. After everything with Kurt and Karofsky last year the last thing we want is you getting hurt." Finn said.
"I appreciate that, but they don't go to this school. Really they are all talk." Blaine said as they got to his car.
"You can't blame us for being worried. I mean look at your eye." Kurt said.
Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and gave it a light squeeze.
"I'm fine. I'm going straight home to do my homework and I will see you tomorrow."
"Call me later." Kurt said.
"I will. Don't worry I'm fine."
Blaine pulled on Kurt's hand slightly to bring him close enough for a small soft kiss. They were still on school grounds and Blaine didn't want to cause a scene, but he just wanted a quick kiss. Blaine pulled back and let go of Kurt's hand.
"Alright love birds let's get home." Rachel said.
"See ya Blaine." Finn said.
"See ya guys." Blaine said as he watched them walk away.
Blaine got into his car and started it up. He made the drive home without any problems. Blaine truly didn't believe that they would do anything to him. Sebastian was pissed off by his rejection, but the Warblers wouldn't intervene in it. They didn't get involved in relationship drama or in any violence. Blaine knew that they wouldn't stand true to Sebastian's empty threat. Blaine got home and saw that both his parent's cars weren't there. Blaine knew that his father wouldn't be home. His father left that morning and wouldn't be back until Saturday or Sunday. He was away at some work retreat that he goes to a couple times a year. Blaine figured his mother would be home, but assumed she was out with friends or shopping. His mother didn't work; she didn't need to his father made enough money. His father was a CEO of a major financial company so he made enough money for the family easily. Blaine parked his car and headed inside. He had a nice looking house, it was too huge, but there was plenty of room. His parents weren't the type of rich people that throw it in your face. They preferred to have a nice house that was practical and not flashy. Blaine's car was a simple car unlike his parents. They both had fancy looking sports cars, but Blaine didn't see the need for one. He liked that his was simple and it was dependable. It also gave him something to work on in the future when he made his own money and could buy his own sports car. Blaine walked in and didn't bother to call out for anyone; he knew no one would be home. He headed into the kitchen to make himself some coffee. He walked into the kitchen and saw the note sitting down on the counter. Blaine picked it up and saw that it was from his mother so he opened it to read it. Blaine couldn't believe what he was reading. His mother had left to be with another man. She had left to be with a man that she had been seeing for the past three years behind their backs. Not only did she leave with another man, she did it while his father was away. Leaving Blaine completely alone for the week. Blaine couldn't believe it, there was no I love you, I'll be in touch not even an I'm sorry. She was just gone. Blaine put the letter down on the counter and ran up the stairs. He ran into his parents' bedroom and opened the closet. Sure enough his mother's clothes were all gone. All of her clothing and jewellery were gone. What hurt the most though, was the pictures were left behind. She didn't even take a picture of him with her. Blaine couldn't believe that his mother had left them for another man. She didn't even say goodbye to him. She could have done this face to face so he could have said I love you or gotten a hug. Out of all the days that he needed his mother, she wasn't even here. Blaine could feel his headache getting worse and now he would need to call his father and tell him about his mother leaving. Blaine didn't even know if he could reach his father on his cell phone or not. Blaine left his parents' room and headed to his own. Blaine sat down on his bed and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed his father's number and after four rings he answered.
"Hello." Came his father's voice.
"Dad, hey do you have a minute?" Blaine said with a sad voice.
"If it's quick. We are just about to get back on the road and I won't have a signal until we get back on Saturday."
Blaine could tell that his father really wasn't in the mood for this, but Blaine didn't have a choice.
"Do you remember Sebastian from Dalton? The one that threw the Slushie at me?"
"What is it now?" His father asked annoyed.
"He punched me at the coffeehouse today. My right eye and my right cheek are bruised."
"Is your sight fine?" His father asked annoyed.
"Ya it's fine. I just thought you should know."
"Fine. Is that all?"
"No. I came home and mom left a note. Dad, she's gone. She left with another man that she's apparently been seeing for the last three years. She took all her clothes and jewellery with her."
"That is what you called to tell me? That is what was so important. You're mother?" His father said annoyed.
"She left dad. I'm here alone. She left with another man. How is that not important?"
Blaine didn't understand why his father was like this. His mother left them for another man. How was that not upsetting? She left without even telling them in person. She wrote a note to say that she was leaving. There was no I love you or I'll be in touch. She left like they didn't even matter to her.
"Well I can't fix it so what do you want me to say? I have work I need to focus on. You're just going to have to deal with it all on your own. I have to go I'll see you when I get back."
His father hung up without even letting Blaine say another word. Blaine didn't even know what to say. He couldn't believe that his father was so cold about it and to him. He knew that his father had to focus on work, but his wife just left him and Blaine was attacked again by Sebastian. Blaine figured that he would have maybe come back at least. This retreat wasn't mandatory he could have easily have said he had problems at home and needed to go back. Blaine was only sixteen and now he was on his own for the week. Blaine didn't know what to do, so he decided he would try and get his mind focused elsewhere. He grabbed his school bag from downstairs and sat down on the couch to try and work on his English assignment. After an hour of still writing the same sentence Blaine gave up and grabbed his jacket and keys. He went out to his car and took off in the direction of Kurt's house. He wanted to speak to Kurt and he didn't want to do it over the phone. He wanted to be hugged by his boyfriend and feel his comfort. Blaine saw that it was six o'clock and he knew he wouldn't be there till at least seven o'clock. Blaine was hoping that Burt and Carole wouldn't be too upset with him for just showing up. Blaine just wanted to talk to Kurt and be around someone that loves him.
Blaine pulled into Kurt's driveway and parked his car behind all the other ones. Blaine got out of his car and headed up to the door. He knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door opened to reveal Burt standing on the other side. It was clear that Burt knew about his black eye based on the lack of shock, but Blaine could tell that he didn't expect it to look that bad.
"Jeeze Blaine. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I was just hoping to talk to Kurt. If that's okay. I know it's starting to get late and I usually call him before I come." Blaine rambled.
"No it's fine. Come in." Burt moved back and let Blaine come inside before he closed the door.
"Kurt" Burt yelled out.
Carole came around the corner and saw Blaine.
"Do you need anything for your eye sweetie?"
"No I'm fine really. Thanks though." Blaine said and the parents could hear that something was wrong with Blaine.
Kurt came up the stairs from the basement and saw that Blaine was standing there.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Kurt said with a smile.
"I just needed to see you." Blaine said with a sadness to his voice.
"What's wrong?" Kurt asked with concern.
"Where's Finn?" Blaine asked.
"He's at Rachel's. What's wrong? Did Sebastian do something?" Kurt asked.
"My mom left." Blaine said with sadness.
"Left? What do you mean left?" Kurt asked.
"She's been having an affair for the past three years apparently. She left us for him. She took all her clothes and jewellery and left a note. She left a note. She couldn't even tell me this morning or wait until I got home from school. She didn't even say goodbye or that she loved me. Just that she was leaving and not to look for her. She didn't even take a picture." Blaine said.
"Oh sweetie." Carole said.
Kurt gave Blaine a hug and Burt felt horrible that Blaine had to go through this today. He was already punched by Sebastian and now he had to deal with this.
"What did your dad say?" Burt asked.
"Nothing. He was annoyed that I called to even tell him. He didn't even care that I got hit, but that's nothing new."
"You called him? Where is he?" Burt asked.
"He's away on some business retreat. He won't be back until Saturday or Sunday. He won't even have cell service where he is going."
"So you're alone for the rest of the week?" Carole asked.
"Ya, but its' fine; it's not the first time."
"Blaine, you're only sixteen you shouldn't be alone for a week." Burt said.
"It's not the first time. I've been home alone since I was thirteen. It's happened a lot between my dad's job and my mom's trips. It's not a big deal." Blaine blew it off.
"Still after what happened today with Sebastian I don't think you being home alone tonight would be a good idea. You can stay here tonight so we know you're safe. I don't want any funny business though, you both understand me." Burt said in a serious voice.
"Yes sir." Blaine said.
"Got it." Kurt said.
"Thanks." Blaine said softly.
"We care about you Blaine. We want you safe. I'm sorry about your mom. Maybe she'll come back." Carole said.
Blaine just gave a nod and Kurt lead him upstairs to his bedroom. His bedroom was always clean and well put together. Blaine wasn't like that. His room was clean, but it was also simple with simple colors. He wasn't really into fashion too much. Yes he always looked good and he read Vogue, but that's as far as his fashion interest went. He wasn't that type of a gay man. Kurt was and Blaine loved him so he didn't care, but for Blaine his interests just weren't the same. They made it work anyways though and Blaine loved that Kurt was different from him. Kurt turned around and Blaine pulled him into a hug. Blaine loved how Kurt could make him feel better by something as simple as a hug. Even though Kurt was older than him by almost two years Blaine always felt like it was his job to protect Kurt. Blaine was the one that knew how to fight. Blaine was the one that was strong and tough and Kurt was the one to make him feel better when he was down. Kurt was the one to keep emotions into play and make sure that Blaine felt loved.
"She didn't even take a picture with her." Blaine said sadly.
"I'm so sorry baby." Kurt moved his head and Blaine pressed his forehead against Kurt's.
"Today really sucks." Blaine said sadly.
"I know, but tomorrow might be better. Come on let's play some music and just lay down." Kurt suggested.
"Ya okay."
Blaine headed over to Kurt's bed and Kurt headed over to his stereo system and turned on some music. He put on some Roxy music knowing that it was Blaine's favorite type and he headed back over to the bed. He laid down beside Blaine on the bed.
"I don't really want anyone knowing about my mom leaving, or that I'm alone. I don't like people knowing my business." Blaine said.
"I won't tell anyone and my dad and Carole won't either. I'm really sorry about your mom." Kurt said sympathetically.
"Thanks babe."
Blaine rolled over so he was on his left side and looking at Kurt.
"How is your duet coming along?" Blaine asked looking to change the subject.
"Fabulous. Mercedes and I are going to knock everyone out of the water. How is it working with Rachel?"
"It's interesting. Right now we just need to try and find a song that we can both agree on. We have different tastes in music. She likes the older stuff and I like the newer pop songs. I have a few ideas though, that might work for us."
"Well you both are one of the best singers in the group. So I am sure it will be fabulous no matter what."
"Aww thanks babe. I think the mix up with the duets will be interesting to see. You never know what voices will sound amazing together. It's good to mix it up and keep everyone on their toes."
"I agree, but I will still miss singing with you."
"Me two."
Kurt moved closer to Blaine and placed a gentle kiss onto Blaine's lips. Kurt didn't know if Blaine had any interest in doing anything and he wasn't going to push anything on him. Blaine moved his hand to the side of Kurt's face and deepened the kiss. After what happened with Sebastian it felt good to be kissing Kurt right now. Blaine moved so he was on top of Kurt as he kissed him. Kurt opened his mouth when he felt Blaine's tongue on his lips asking for entrance. Kurt was more than happy to let Blaine take control. He knew that Blaine wanted this just as much as he did. They were after all teenage boys and could easily get turned on at any moment. Kurt opened his legs so Blaine could place himself in between them. The kiss turned heated very fast. Kurt rocked his hips up so he could get friction against Blaine's jeaned crotch. They both moaned at the contact and Blaine moved his hand so he could grab Kurt's ass as he rocked his hips into Kurt's crotch. They hadn't had the chance to do anything with each other for a few weeks and it was taking a toll on them. After Blaine's opening night for the musical they had went back to his place and made love. That was the first and only time they had truly done anything. Afterwards they messed around a few times but they were always interrupted or didn't have much time.
Kurt moaned. "Blaine, I want you." Kurt said through kisses.
Blaine started to undo the buttons on Kurt's shirt.
"I want you two. You're dad and Carole are here though." Blaine said with a heavy voice.
"They won't bother us." Kurt said in between kisses.
"Are you sure you want to?" Blaine asked once more.
"Absolutely"
Blaine removed Kurt's shirt; Kurt took off Blaine's bowtie and removed his shirt. Kurt loved that Blaine had abs, they weren't rock hard, but they were definitive and Kurt loved roaming his hands over them. Once their shirts were removed they took their shoes, socks, pants and boxers off. Their hands moved all over each other, touching and stroking. Blaine kissed all over Kurt's neck loving the sounds that Kurt made.
"Oh Blaine, take me." Kurt said with a husky voice.
"Where's the stuff?"
"Top drawer."
Blaine reached over to the top drawer of the nightstand beside the bed. He pulled out a condom and the lube before he closed it and went back to his spot between Kurt's legs. He kissed all the way down Kurt's body as he coated three fingers with the lube. He took Kurt's hard on in his mouth as he inserted two of his fingers. Kurt moaned at the sensation. Blaine always knew how to make him feel good and make it so that it wouldn't hurt. Blaine worked on stretching Kurt while he sucked his dick. After a few minutes he inserted his third and final finger. He started to search for Kurt's sweet spot and he knew he hit it when Kurt let out a moan. Blaine could feel that Kurt was close so he sucked harder and just enjoyed making Kurt feel amazing.
"Oh god Blaine. So close, please don't stop." Kurt said with a breathless voice.
Blaine kept rubbing circles on Kurt's sweet spot as he took him deep. After a few more minutes Kurt cam in his mouth and Blaine swallowed it all. Blaine moved his head off from Kurt's now softening member and he kissed all over his neck. He removed his fingers and put the condom on. He slowly pushed himself inside Kurt's hole. He made sure he went slowly so it wouldn't hurt. Blaine had done his homework when he first found out he was gay. He wanted to make sure he was educated so when the time came he knew what to expect and what to do. Blaine couldn't help, but moan at the still tightness of Kurt. He moved slowly for a few minutes before he picked up the pace. Soon enough they were both a moaning hot mess. It was a good thirty minutes later when they both cam calling out the other's name. Blaine placed his forehead against Kurt's as he tried to catch his breath.
"That was amazing." Blaine said.
"It's always amazing. I love you."
"I love you."
Blaine kissed Kurt for a few minutes before he pulled out and got up off the bed. He headed into the bathroom suite to get rid of the condom and clean himself off. Kurt got up off the bed and followed Blaine into his bathroom. He came up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Shower with me?" Kurt asked with a smile.
"Absolutely" Blaine smiled back.
They got into the shower and both washed the other. Blaine couldn't believe how amazing Kurt could make him feel. He had already forgotten about being home alone and his mother walking out on him and his father. When he was with Kurt he could just be himself and feel loved. Blaine hadn't realized just how long he had gone without feeling loved and wanted by someone. Even his parents had been distant from him and arguing more. Blaine could honestly say that his mother leaving couldn't be a surprise. His parents had been arguing more and more over the last three years. They used to do family days and outings, but in the last three years it's just been everyone for themselves. Blaine didn't realise just how much he had missed feeling loved and cared for. They got out of the shower and got dressed. Kurt gave Blaine some sweats to wear so he wouldn't have to sleep in his jeans. They got back onto the bed and Kurt curled into Blaine's chest. Blaine just laid there stroking Kurt's hair and enjoying his company. After ten minutes Kurt spoke.
"I'm sorry about your mom leaving."
"Thanks. You know I can't say I was surprised. I'm hurt that she left that way and that she didn't even take a single picture of me, but I'm not surprised she left."
"Why aren't you surprised?"
"They had been having problems for the last three years. I guess it was when she started to see this other man. Things just hadn't been the same. We used to do everything together as a family. Then I found out I was gay and things started to change between my dad and me, but we still did family outings. In the past three years everything has slowly been changing. They have been fighting more and they have both been leaving for a week or two at a time doing different things. This morning they were arguing. It kinda became a normal thing in my house, the screaming in the morning. So it doesn't surprise me that she's gone and that my dad doesn't care."
"I'm sorry. Why didn't you ever tell me about this?"
"I don't like talking about it. It just became kinda normal to me after the last three years. Besides you have an amazing relationship with your dad. I don't have that kind of relationship. He doesn't like that I'm gay. He believes that he can make me straight if I do enough straight male things. Like working on cars with him. I wish I had the type of relationship with my dad that you do with yours."
"Your dad hasn't gotten used to you being gay yet?"
"He doesn't talk about it. As long as I don't parade it around in front of him he's fine. The people at his work don't even know. When I have to go to his functions or they come over to the house I have to look and act straight. He just doesn't understand."
"Is that why I've never met your dad?"
"I just don't want him to say anything hurtful to you. It's not you, it's him and he can be harsh at times."
"Has he ever said anything mean to you?"
"Not really. Before he used to yell at me and say why can't you just be normal? But that was in the beginning. He doesn't say anything like that anymore. He doesn't talk about it and as long as I don't, he's fine with it."
"I'm sorry your dad is like that. I couldn't imagine my dad being like that. Especially after everything that happened last year. You have me though and the team. We all love and accept you for you."
"I'm glad that I have you guys. I miss the Warblers, but you guys have been there for me and you stuck by me. That's true friendship."
"And we will always be there for you. Want to watch a movie?"
"Sure. You pick."
Kurt got up off the bed and headed over to his book shelf to grab a movie. He picked rock of ages and he put it into his DVD player. He went back over to the bed and curled back up into Blaine's chest. He hit play and they laid back and watched the movie. Kurt felt Blaine's breathing even out just an hour into the movie. Kurt looked up and saw that Blaine had fallen asleep. Kurt grabbed the blanket and pulled it over them before he curled back in against Blaine and watched the rest of the movie.

Blaine was thankful that school had been uneventful. Even this morning when he woke up and had breakfast with the Hummels, Finn didn't even ask what he was doing there. Blaine figured that Finn assumed it was because of what happened with Sebastian that he had spent the night. No one said anything about him being there and Blaine was just glad that for now no one would know that his mother had left them. Blaine had some serious homework tonight and he was hoping to be able to just focus on it and get some of it done. Blaine was at his locker getting his books together for tonight when Kurt came up to him.
"Hey"
"Hey you." Blaine said with a smile back at him.
"How are you feeling?"
"I have a headache, but I've had that all day. I have so much homework to do. I still have that book report, plus math and a history assignment." Blaine said as he closed his locker.
"So I guess you don't want to come with me to the coffeehouse with Finn and Rachel?"
"I really should go home and do my homework, but maybe coffee will make this headache go away."
"So you're in?"
"As long as I can just sit there." Blaine said with a small smile.
"Deal."
They headed down the hall and outside. Finn and Rachel were already at Finn's car.
"Hey, you guys in?" Rachel asked.
"We are and Blaine is in as long as he can just sit there." Kurt said with a smile.
"You okay?" Finn asked Blaine.
"Ya just a headache. Kinda hoping some caffeine might fix it."
Finn just gave a nod of understanding.
"So we'll meet you there?" Rachel asked.
"Ya" Blaine said.
"I'll drive." Kurt said with a smile on his face as he held his hand out for Blaine's keys.
Blaine gave a small chuckle as he handed over his car keys to Kurt. It wasn't the first time Kurt had wanted to drive his car. Kurt had a nice car for a student, but it was no secret that Blaine's car was nicer and more recent than Kurt's. The two couples headed to the two cars and took off for the coffeehouse. Blaine laid his head against the back of the seat and closed his eyes. Kurt turned the music off so the volume wouldn't bother Blaine's headache.
"Are you sure you want to come?" Kurt asked.
"Ya the coffee might help. Besides I don't really feel like being home alone right now. I'll stay for an hour and then I'll go home and start the pile of homework I have."
"Are you sure you want to take all AP classes this year? I mean with the school work, Glee club and your S.A.T's. That just seems like a lot to try and handle."
"I'll be fine. My dad doesn't want me in anything other than AP classes. I have to keep my grades up so I can get into University. My dad is a firm believer in getting some fancy professional job and not following some pipe dream."
"So he doesn't support your singing?"
"He does when it's in his favor to, like in front of his bosses when it gives him an edge. Otherwise he just tells me to smarten up and quit day dreaming. To my father dreams aren't practical and they never come true. He puts up with it as long as I have a good grade point average and go to a good university."
"But what would you take in university? I mean if he doesn't want you to pursue a career in singing."
"A lawyer or doctor. Anything really that makes it seem like he has a good son. A straight son."
"But what do you want?"
"I don't know. I want to be on a stage, maybe Broadway. I want to be able to still write my own lyrics and music though, no matter what."
"You write your own music? You play an instrument?" Kurt asked surprised. Blaine had never told him he did and he never saw him play one.
"I've been writing songs and music since I was eight. I play the piano. I taught myself through books."
"Why have you never told me? I didn't know you could play the piano and you write songs. Why didn't you ever tell me?"
"When I sing someone else's songs I'm comfortable, because people know the songs and they like them. I've never played the piano in front of anyone before and I've never sang one of my songs for anyone. I'm not good enough at it for that, plus that fear of people hating it. When you guys wrote your own songs for regionals and nationals I couldn't believe it. I would never have that kind of courage to do something like that."
"You're better than you think. Blaine you have an amazing voice. I bet you play and write amazing songs. I would love to hear one, whenever you are ready for it. I think you're talented enough for Broadway. Even if your dad doesn't support your decisions I always will."
"Thanks"
"I really am lucky to have my dad. I don't know what I would do if he didn't support me and was trying to hide who I am. But in retrospect I don't think I could pull off being straight." Kurt said trying to make Blaine smile and it worked.
"You really can't, but that's what I love about you. You don't try to hide who you are. I hope that one day I'll have the courage that you do."
"You have courage Blaine. You're the one that convinced me to stand up to Karofsky I know you don't like rubbing it in people's faces that you're gay and I can understand that. You've been hurt a lot from it, more so than me. You need to stand up for yourself though to and I know you will. I know you're sixteen and I'm eighteen and two years doesn't really matter, but you are only sixteen. You've only been out for three years now; I've been out since I was like five. You'll get the confidence in yourself I know you will, because you Blaine Anderson are amazing. I'm worried though, that with everything that has and is happening with Sebastian that you'll start doubting yourself. I don't want you to lose who you are or that self-confidence that you have on stage."
"I really don't believe Sebastian will try anything. He was upset and he'll calm down and it'll be over. I'll admit the last few weeks haven't been easy, but at least Sebastian isn't from McKinley. I can avoid him without much trouble if I have to. I'll be fine." Blaine said softly and Kurt could tell that he didn't really believe everything he said.
"You're more hurt and upset than you're letting me to believe. I can see it in your eyes. You're so sad; you have been since this started three weeks ago. I can understand why you would be sad, I really do. I just don't want to lose you. I don't want you to lose yourself. I hope this is over and I can get my happy Blaine back."
"That might take a bit." Blaine said softly as he looked out the window.
"I can wait." Kurt simply said.
They pulled into the coffeehouse a few minutes later. Kurt parked Blaine's car and grabbed Blaine's hand and gave it a soft squeeze.
"I love you no matter what happens. I love you happy, sad, hurt, mad and lost. I'm here for you."
Blaine looked at Kurt as he spoke and he gave him a small smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"I love you two."
"Come on let's get inside Finn and Rachel are already here."
Kurt let go of Blaine's hand and they got out of the car together. They headed inside and over to the counter.
"You go sit with them; I'll bring your coffee over." Kurt said to Blaine.
"You don't have to do that."
"I want to. You're injured and have a headache go sit on the couch with them. I'll be over in a minute."
Blaine leaned in and kissed Kurt's cheek before he gave a small smile and headed over to Finn and Rachel. They were sitting on a loveseat and Blaine sat on the one right next to it. They usually sat in the same area when they were here. Before Blaine they used to go to a different coffeehouse, but Blaine got Kurt going here when he was at Dalton and now they all go here. Blaine didn't mind he liked that he could share this place with the New Directions and his boyfriend.
"How's the head?" Finn asked.
"It hurts, but I have a feeling it's going to be that way for a few more days."
"You just need some rest. We have to make sure our performance is amazing. So you need to rest and feel better." Rachel said.
"I'll be fine."
Kurt came over with their coffees and handed Blaine his. Blaine took a small sip of it and he was hoping he would start to feel better. He had hours of homework he needed to do, plus he had to start studying for the S.A.T's. Blaine didn't know how he was going to manage everything. He was also working part-time singing for weddings to save up money. He had been doing it since last year. He wanted to save up money so that when he turned eighteen he could get his own place. Blaine didn't know where he would be, but he knew he didn't want to live in that house anymore. He couldn't take the yelling and fighting so much. He didn't want to keep hiding who he was around his father and his colleges. Blaine wanted to be able to move out on his eighteenth birthday and not have to look back. Blaine just wanted to feel like he could be himself inside his home. He didn't want to have to worry about what anyone thought and he knew the only way for that to happen was to live alone and away from his father.
"So what songs are you guys going to do?" Rachel asked.
"Mercedes and me were thinking about doing some Beyoncé." Kurt said with a smile.
"Really what song?" Blaine asked.
"We haven't decided yet, but it's going to be fabulous."
"What about you sweetie?" Rachel asked Finn.
"We haven't really come up with one yet. Tina and me have different tastes in music so it's a little hard to agree on one."
"Well Blaine came up with a great song and I'm so excited to start working on it. We should get together tomorrow after school to rehearse. You could come over to my place." Rachel said.
"Um sure for a little while I could. I have some assignments due at the end of the week so I won't be able to stay more than a couple hours."
"That's fine. We're pros we can pull it off." Rachel said.
"Do you have a lot of homework?" Finn asked.
"I'm in all AP classes so I tend to have a lot. Plus I have to start studying for the S.A.T's."
"God I hated doing those. That's in four months or so for you." Kurt said.
"Ya just under four months."
"You're gonna be busy this year." Rachel said.
"It's wedding season soon too so I'll be working to go with it." Blaine said with a smile.
"You work at weddings?" Kurt asked.
"Singing. During wedding season I could be working every weekend. It's good money."
"Wow dude you're not gonna have time for anything." Finn said.
"I always make it work." Blaine said in a dismissive tone.
"Well look who we have here. It's so good to see you again Blaine." Sebastian said with a smile on his face as he stood in front of the group.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"
"I can't come over and say hi."
"No you can't. Leave my boyfriend alone." Kurt said in a serious voice.
"He wasn't your boyfriend yesterday morning. I guess he just doesn't like the girly type." Sebastian said with a smirk.
Finn stood up and went and stood right in front of Sebastian.
"You got a problem with my brother?"
"Girly's your brother?" Sebastian said with a chuckle.
"His name is Kurt and ya he's my brother. Do you got a problem with that?" Finn said with an angry tone.
"No I'm sure your mom always wanted a girl." Sebastian said.
"I'm gonna make this very clear to you. Stay away from my brother and stay away from my friend. I don't know how it works at your school, but where I come from you don't force a kiss onto someone. Back off or I'm gonna be in your face again and again."
"He wanted that kiss. He enjoyed it. He finally got to know how it feels to kiss a real man." Sebastian said as he looked right at Kurt.
"Sebastian, please just give it up. I don't like you; I'm never going to like you. Just let it go and move on to someone who feels the same." Blaine said.
"You talk pretty brave in front of your friends, but we both know what you're like alone. You want it, you just don't want to hurt girly's feelings, but that's okay you'll come around."
"Leave my friend alone or it will be you with the black eye." Finn said in a serious voice as he got into Sebastian's face.
Sebastian just laughed and moved around Finn. He walked over to Blaine and made the motion of him throwing his coffee in Blaine's face, but nothing came out. It was just an empty cup, but it made Blaine jump regardless. Sebastian gave a chuckle.
"You're awfully jumpy."
Sebastian moved so he was on the side of the couch and placed a hand on Blaine's shoulder as he bent down to speak. It was a soft voice, but it was loud enough for the other's to hear.
"Remember what I said Blaine. After all the Warblers and I would hate for something to happen to you."
Sebastian patted Blaine's shoulder before he left the coffeehouse. Blaine was obviously shaken up over it and they could see the slight fear in his eyes.
"What the hell was that about them not wanting to see you hurt?" Finn asked with a sharpness to his voice as he sat back down.
"I told you in Glee that Sebastian told Blaine that the Warblers would back him up." Kurt said.
"He's just trying to scare me. He'll get bored and he'll stop." Blaine said.
"What if he doesn't? What if he does hurt you again Blaine?" Rachel said.
"Then I'll do something about it. For right now it's just words and no one will do anything about words." Blaine said.
"He hit you." Kurt said.
"And no one saw it. It's my word against his and that won't last long. The Warblers are my friends; they wouldn't do anything to hurt me. I know they won't. He's just being an ass, because I don't want him. He'll get over it in a few days."
"But you don't know that. You live in the same area as them." Kurt said.
"They won't try anything. Look I'm gonna go I have homework I need to do. I'll call you later." Blaine said as he went to get up.
"I'll walk you to your car just in case." Finn said as he stood.
"You don't have to I'm fine."
"Dude, you're my friend and I'm not about to sit here when jerk face could still be out there waiting for you. I'm walking you to your car." Finn said in a serious voice.
"Call me when you get home please." Kurt said.
"I'll text you. I really have to get my homework done."
"Ok, I love you."
"I love you."
Blaine and Finn walked outside and over to Blaine's car. Sebastian wasn't out there and Blaine was about to open his car door when Finn spoke.
"You know I don't understand you. I've seen you box, I know you can fight. Yet with him you don't even stand up for yourself. What gives?" Finn asked gently.
Blaine turned around and leaned back against his door. He took a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
"When I'm in a ring with someone, it's just for fun. We're just sparring and messing around. Ya I can fight, but that doesn't mean that I like to or that I like confrontation. Sure you get me mad enough then it doesn't bother me, but this is different. Before I was at Dalton I was in another public school. I got bullied so badly; worse than Kurt did. I decided I couldn't do it anymore so I transferred to Dalton and never had a problem since. I know on some level what Sebastian is doing is bullying, but it's not that easy to handle after everything. I know it shouldn't be different than sparring. I know I should be standing up for myself, but I just can't seem to get my mind to work. I can't get passed that fear from all the other times I was bullied. The memories never go away. The fear it's paralyzing." Blaine explained sadly.
"You know last year with everything that Kurt went through. He said he didn't want to live in fear every day. I could understand, but I didn't know what that felt like. I've never been bullied. I don't know what it's like to be afraid of what someone is doing or could do. I know there's nothing I can say to make that fear go away. But I'm not going to stand by and let something happen to you. I didn't stand up for Kurt when I should have. I'm not going to make that mistake twice. What he's doing to you isn't cool. I'm not going to go looking for him to start something, but I'm not gonna back down either. I got your back."
"Thanks" Blaine said softly.
"Get home safe. I'll see you tomorrow at school." Finn gave Blaine one of his lopsided smiles and Blaine gave a nod.
He got into his car and saw that Finn was still standing outside by the front door of the coffeehouse waiting to make sure he got off okay. Blaine pulled out of the parking space and headed for home. Finn went back inside the coffeehouse and sat back down with Rachel and Kurt.
"I hate that guy." Kurt said.
"I know, but maybe Blaine is right. Maybe he'll get bored and move on from it." Finn said.
"Do you really believe that?" Rachel asked.
"I don't know, maybe. I believe that Blaine is smart enough to know when he needs to ask for help though." Finn answered.
"I just hope Sebastian leaves him alone. He doesn't need any more bad memories." Kurt said.
"He was bullied before?" Rachel asked.
"Ya he was. He doesn't talk about it. I just know that he was beat up one time after a school dance. I've never asked for details or more information about it. I don't even know if he can talk about it." Kurt said sadly.
"Is that why he went to Dalton?" Rachel asked.
"Ya the no tolerance policy. Blaine said it was worth every cent to have peace of mind. I just hope that by him leaving Dalton he doesn't get bullied at McKinley. I would feel horrible if I made his life miserable by him leaving Dalton."
"He made the choice to leave though Kurt. You didn't force him to or tell him you would break up with him if he didn't. He wanted to be there and I don't think he regrets it. He loves you that's clear to everyone." Finn said.
"I just hope this is over with soon. He doesn't deserve this." Kurt said.
"We'll keep an eye on him and if something does happen then we tell Mr. Schue." Rachel said.
Finn switched the conversation so they wouldn't be so depressed. Finn was worried about Blaine. He didn't like that Blaine was terrified to stand up for himself. He didn't like that Blaine had been through so much in his life that he was so afraid. It's true that Finn didn't really like Blaine in the beginning. He was really talented plus he was dating his brother. Finn didn't treat him too great, but ever since Sectionals he had put it all behind him and Blaine and him had become friends. Blaine and Kurt were in love and Finn looked at himself as a big brother to Kurt. Blaine had become part of their family, just like Rachel had become a part of their family. Blaine was like a little brother to Finn now and he wasn't going to let anyone hurt him. Finn didn't care if he ended up getting expelled, or in jail. To Finn it would be worth it, because he protected his brother.
Blaine arrived back at his house and it was just after six o'clock at night. Blaine still had a headache and Blaine figured he could take something for it and maybe eat something. He had so much homework he needed to work on he didn't even know where to start. He had Calculus that was due tomorrow so he figured he would do that one first then he would move on his English book report. Tomorrow he could work on his History at lunch in the library. Blaine headed inside and turned the lights on. He went upstairs to his bathroom and took a pill to help with his headache. He then went into his room and put his bag down before he headed back downstairs to the kitchen. He pulled his cell phone out and sent Kurt a quick text.
'Home safe and sound baby.'
Blaine put his phone back in his pocket and went over to the fridge. Blaine opened the fridge door and looked inside. He wasn't really hungry, but he knew he had to eat something. He didn't really want anything so he grabbed an apple and headed back upstairs. He got out his Calculus books and sat down at his desk. His phone buzzed and he pulled it out of his pocket.
'Good. Mercedes and Sam showed up not long after you left. We're going to go to a movie. It's too bad you're not here.'
'How do you guys never have homework?'
Blaine started his Calculus homework while he ate his apple. He was good at Calculus so it wouldn't take him too long to get it all done. His phone buzzed on his desk and he looked at the text.
'Because we're not in AP classes so our homework isn't much, plus most of us are seniors. If you need any help just let me know.'
'You know AP Calculus? Lol. What movie are you going to see?'
Blaine put his phone back down and focused on his work. He didn't want to be up until midnight getting his homework done. He was glad that Kurt was going to see a movie, because then he wouldn't be texting him all night. Blaine loved talking to Kurt, but he needed to focus. He had to get his head focused on his homework or he would be stuck inside for the rest of the week.
'The Lone Ranger. You know I can't say no to Johnny. And no I wouldn't be good with AP Calculus, but I would try my best for you. I love you. I'll text you after the movie. Don't work too hard.'
'Enjoy the movie and let me know how it goes. I love you two.'
Blaine put his phone back down and focused on his Calculus. It took him until nine o'clock to get his Calculus homework completed and he was already exhausted. His headache was gone now at least so he was happy about that. He figured that he would work on his book report. He knew it would take him a few days to type it out. Tomorrow he could start his research for his History paper. Blaine put his Calculus away and pulled out The Diary of Anne Frank and turned his computer on. He had to write a five thousand word essay about the book and how the events in the book changed the world today. Blaine was not looking forward to it, but he was used to harder homework from Dalton so it wasn't much of a change. At ten his phone buzzed to life again with Kurt going on and on about the movie. Blaine smiled as he read the texts and sent a quick one back.
'I'm glad you liked it.'
A few minutes later his phone buzzed again.
'How's the homework coming?'
'I just finished my Calculus about an hour ago. Now I'm onto my book report. I have to write five thousand words by Friday. I also have a History report due Friday so I'm gonna have to miss lunch tomorrow and spend it in the library researching. Sorry babe.'
A few moments later the reply came.
'That's okay I understand. I'll get to see you in glee. Maybe this weekend you can come over and hang out?'
'I could Friday after school if you want to do a movie date night. All my assignments will be done.'
They had done many Friday night movie date nights over at Kurt's place. He had some great movies and it was just nice to curl up in bed and watch some with Kurt. Sometimes Finn and Rachel would join them, but Blaine was hoping for some more alone time with the man that he loved.
'Sounds prefect to me. I'll leave you alone so you can work. I love you.'
'I love you two. See you tomorrow.'
Blaine stayed up working on his book report until midnight when he could no longer see straight. He saved his work and turned his computer off. He would work on it again tomorrow when he came home from school. During lunch he'll work on his History research so he was at least getting something done with his project. Blaine turned his light off after he got changed and then climbed into bed. Tomorrow was going to be another busy day.
