Just to clarify, Kurt is at Dalton, established Klaine and all the boys mentioned are juniors. I would love to know your thoughts on the storyline.

12.20 So English lit was really boring, I had no one to talk to. David is trying to fit a whole egg in his mouth at once and Wes thinks it's the funniest thing ever!

16.00 It's Warbler practise in a minute so I need to switch off my phone but Kurt please text me even if it's to say stop stalking you!

19.10 Missed call – Blaine

19.45 On my way back now. Should just make it before curfew.

"Hey, there you are"

"Hi Blaine"

Blaine was just on his way back from studying with Nick and Jeff and was delighted to see his boyfriend opening the door to his dorm room. He bounded over and put his hand on Kurt's arm to draw him in for a kiss. A short hiss came from Kurt as he jumped back.

"You OK?" Blaine's brow furrowed and he took a step back assessing the taller boy.

"Fine, just…. stubbed my toe."

"Hey what happened to your face?" asked the curly haired teenager noticing the large, purple bruise on Kurt's left cheek.

"Oh, it's nothing. I slipped on the stairs, I'm clearly having a clumsy streak," Kurt laughed backing towards the room but Blaine wasn't convinced. Kurt was one of the most graceful people he knew. However every inch of Kurt's body was screaming 'move away from me' so Blaine took another step back disregarding how much he wanted to curl up and cuddle Kurt, after all he hadn't seen him since Friday, almost 3 days.

"So how come you missed school today? Did you get my messages?"

"Sorry my phone's been playing up, it wouldn't let me respond."

"Oh, that's too bad. Is it fixed now?" What sort of phone doesn't let you reply to messages, thought Blaine.

"Yeah I think so."

"So how come you missed school?"

Kurt looked right into his boyfriend's beautiful hazel eyes, "Look, I know I owe you an explanation but it's been a really long day and I need to get some homework done before I crash. Can we talk another time?"

Blaine could tell something was badly wrong, Kurt wouldn't talk or let him come near but clearly he needed some time. Tomorrow was another day after all.

"Sure, you get some sleep and don't worry about the homework. I'll see you for breakfast tomorrow." Blaine wanted to give him a kiss but as he had reacted so badly to the first one he decided against it and left Kurt to go into his room. Feeling completely confused by the short conversation Blaine headed back to his own dorm and fell asleep watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, one of his favourite films.

The next morning Blaine went to Kurt's room to see if he was coming to breakfast. After knocking three times the door finally opened a slither and Kurt peeped out through half shut eyes. Seeing Blaine he opened the door properly and pulled down the sleeves of his old McKinley High sweatshirt, over his hands before sitting on the bed. Blaine came in slowly, unsure why things seemed so strange.

"Did you get any sleep last night?" he asked as he made his way over to sit next to Kurt. As he sat down the other boy got up and walked across the room to the wardrobe.

"Not a lot. I didn't really want to get up."

"Shall I tell the office you are sick, then you could stay in bed, catch up on some work, whatever you want."

"Thanks but I missed yesterday so I really can't lose another day. Look I'm clearly not ready and to be honest I'm not that hungry so why don't you go for breakfast and I'll see you in English." Kurt gave Blaine a half smile and turned his attention to finding socks.

"Erm ok then, I guess I'll see you later," and blinking back tears Blaine left the room. As he walked down to the dining hall he was getting more and more distressed. He had spent Sunday wondering when Kurt was coming back and then worrying because he wasn't answering any messages. He was so stressed on Monday as there had been no sign of Kurt and again no messages and now Kurt was acting like he didn't want him near.

By the time he reached the dining hall he was so worked up that he wasn't sure he would be able to keep breakfast down. He just took some toast and coffee and spotting Wes and David went to sit with them. One look at Blaine's face told them something was wrong but what?

"Have you heard from Kurt yet?" Wes asked straight. They knew Blaine had been trying to get in touch and hadn't heard back.

"Yes, he arrived back last night."

"Well is that not good? Now you know where he is!" said David trying to lighten the mood.

Blaine took a deep breath, "Something's not right, he's barely speaking to me and you didn't see the state of him this morning."

"So he's a bit tired and doesn't want to get into a long chat. Maybe he had a fight with his dad or Finn. Actually knowing Kurt he's probably worried that he's not finished an essay or something like that," Wes said trying to lift Blaine's spirit. "You'll see him in English and Music and then again at practise, by the time it's dinner you'll be sick of the sight of each other!"

At that moment Nick and Jeff arrived at the table and the talk immediately turned to the upcoming football game that Wes and Jeff were involved in. Blaine tried to relax and join in but couldn't help his mind wandering back to Kurt and the way he had pulled back from him the night before.

Suddenly there was a hand waving in front of his face and he looked up to see Nick and Jeff laughing at him.

"Tempting as it is to leave you here no doubt day dreaming about Kurt that was the warning bell and we would hate you to be late for class. We'll send Kurt your love in history," Nick said blowing kisses as he walked off.

Much as he would have liked to go to history with them to check on Kurt he didn't think his maths teacher would appreciate him cutting class so with a deep sigh he got up and quickly made his way to his first lesson.

Kurt was already sitting in history when Jeff and Nick arrived. He had been late before and was well aware of Mr Taylor's attitude towards tardiness. The two Warblers fell into the room laughing about something clearly hilarious and took their seats in front of Kurt.

"Morning Kurt, don't know what you've done to Blaine this morning but he was so deep in thought he missed the warning bell," giggled Jeff turning round. "Woah," he said noticing the bruise, "what the hell happened?"

"I just slipped and fell, nothing exciting."

"Does Blaine know?"

"What that I'm a complete clutz? Yes, he's seen the bruise if that's what you mean."

"Oh maybe he was thinking of ways to kiss it better," said Nick giggling but quickly falling silent as the strict teacher entered the room.
