Warnings: Mention of bullying

The first time Blaine understood Kurt was also the first day they met.
Blaine knew that day there was something between them. He didn't recognise it at the time, too focused on the song he was about to sing, but Blaine had noticed there was something. That's why he dragged Kurt along to watch him perform. For some reason Blaine wanted Kurt to recognise that 'something' between them. So, Blaine did what Blaine did best. He sung.
Oh, sure, he was meant to be singing and it had been planned before Kurt even thought about visiting the school, but Blaine put in that little bit more of an effort. He wanted Kurt to feel a little bit special because he suspected the teen didn't feel special very often.
Blaine recognised that little, fractured something inside Kurt the moment Blaine started to sing. It was well hidden, much better hidden than Blaine's fractured something had been, but Blaine had seen it. He'd seen it because he had been Kurt only a little while ago. He'd been the one beaten and abused just because he liked boys instead of girls. He'd been that lost person, and he hated that there was someone else out there suffering like he had.
That first day when Blaine met Kurt, Blaine learned about the bullying, and Kurt didn't have to say a word. Kurt did tell him about it later, but he didn't need to. Blaine may not have known any details about the bullying, but Blaine knew it was happening.
It infuriated him.
Blaine knew that whatever bond which had formed between them needed to be carefully cared for. Blaine didn't want Kurt to be left hurting on his own, and Blaine wanted to be the shoulder Kurt needed.
When Kurt did admit the bullying and told him all the gory details, Blaine's resolve hardened. He wouldn't be leaving Kurt to deal with this on his own. Blaine wanted to help Kurt like he wishes someone had helped him.
