Finn was starting to like Blaine, he really was, sure he'd only met the boy a few times but he seemed like a normal dude. He liked football and gaming and that was all that really mattered to him. But the fact that he made Kurt happy was the deciding factor. He'd seen his stepbrother sad so many times it had started to become some what of a norm but then Blaine had come along and he'd transferred to Dalton and everything was seemingly perfect.
Kurt had moved into the dorms, coming home only on the weekends for their family dinners so he was surprised when one Thursday morning the door had opened gently and Kurt walked in, his eyes clearly red from crying. Burt and Carole had already gone to work so he was the only one around. And honestly he was never good with this comforting thing, sure he was okay with girls, you just had to hug them or kiss them, but this was another guy. They'd hugged before but it just didn't seem right.
Kurt sniffled as he closed the door behind him, glancing up at the appearance of Finn and dropping his bags inside.
"I'm just going to-" he motioned downstairs.
"What. Wait. What's going on?" he asked, moving forward a couple of steps.
Kurt frowned before moving away in the direction of the stairs. "Nothing. I. Just..Is dad at work yet?"
"Bullshit it's nothing bro…And yeah. Do you want me to call him?"
Kurt shook his head. "No. No. I'll talk to him later"
"Did Blaine do something?"
Kurt whipped around at that. "No. No. Of course not" he rambled quickly, not missing how Finn's face changed to one of anger.
"Don't you dare do anything Finn Hudson" he said firmly before disappearing down into his room.
"I'm telling you we have to do something. He was crying and he was coming back from Dalton on a school day"
Before glee that afternoon Finn had managed to get the rest of the new directions to gather around while he filled them in on Kurt. A few of the girls gave sympathetic noises and promised to call him while some of the guys looked unimpressed.
But they only had five seconds to talk before rehearsal started for the day.
Finn watched, annoyed as most of the group filtered out leaving him with just Puck and Sam.
"We gunna go kick that Andersons arse or what?" Puck said, as Sam nodded his head.
"I mean..yeah. If that dudes messing with him we can't just sit here and do nothing" Sam agreed. "Finn, you did nothing last time with Karofsky. You have to"
Finn sighed, remembering back to the promise he'd made with Burt before agreeing.
"Anderson!"
Blaine turned around from where he was talking with Wes and David, smiling as he saw his boyfriends brother.
"Hey man. What you doing here? I think there's a game on tonight if you wanted to hang around"
Finn shook his head, frowning at disbelief.
"No. What did you do to Kurt?"
It was then that Blaine noticed the two boys behind Finn, recognizing them both as members of New Directions.
"Kurt?" he asked slowly, confused.
"Kurt went home this morning"
Finn shook his head. "I know he came home this morning you asshole" he spat out. "He came home in tears. From being at Dalton. From being with you"
"Man. You can't hurt him. That's our bro" Puck added.
Blaine had to admit the whole situation was starting to scare him a bit and he glanced at Wes for some extra support before stamping down his anxiety.
"I didn't do anything to him"
"Bullshit" he heard someone say harshly before he was on the ground, his head pounding.
"Blaine?!"
"Open your eyes"
"What were you thinking?"
Blaine opened his clenched eyes before looking up to the faces of his Dalton friends, noticing security leading away the other boys. And then Wes' hands were on his shoulders, looking concernedly into his eyes. "You okay?"
"Y-Yeah"
Kurt had a hard day to say the least so when the knock came on his bedroom door he wanted nothing more than to just ignore it.
"Kurt. Kiddo. Blaine's here"
He couldn't help but smile to himself at the knowledge that his boyfriend was here, he'd driven all this way just to be here and he got to his feet, walking down the stairs before freezing at the sight of him.
"Blaine?!" he questioned, his heart pounding as his vision went up to where a bruise now covered his boyfriend's left eye.
Kurt didn't fail to notice Finn standing sheepishly behind him but he ignored it when Blaine pulled him into a tight hug asking if he was okay.
He nodded sadly before pulling back and tenderly touching the bruise. "Was it your dad again?" he whispered, so neither his dad or Finn could hear. Kurt frowned when the other shook his head before remembering who was standing right there.
"Finn" he hissed. "What the hell did you do?"
Finn stood nervously, his hands in his pockets as he attempted to explain. "I thought..I thought he hurt you and I couldn't let him do that"
Kurt rolled his eyes, his anger dissipating slightly as Blaine's hazel eyes bore into his.
"Blaine didn't do anything. I was upset because of something private Finn. And no it wasn't his fault"
He reached down to squeeze Blaine's hand, remembering back to their conversation that morning regarding Blaine's own dad.
"Private?" Finn asked softly.
"Yes. Private. You don't get to know.
And you don't have the right to hit my boyfriend" he said, his voice raising a bit but then softening as Blaine flinched in his grasp.
Kurt motioned for Finn to leave, knowing their parents would be itching to talk to the other boy and he himself needed to focus on Blaine.
"Sweetheart. Are you okay?" he asked softly, his hands carding through his curls.
Blaine sighed and nodded softly, knowing beyond a doubt that now Burt would be questioning what had happened earlier that day with Kurt later.
"B. I'm sorry I left. Just the fact that you won't tell anyone about your dad is…I don't know. I just. I hate the fact that he's so horrible and I can't do anything"
Blaine looked up at Kurt's apologies. "I know. I know. I can't Kurt. I'll lose my scholarship and everything. And I can't" he replied as his voice started to shake.
Kurt swallowed the own lump in his throat before tugging his boyfriend in closer, whispering sweet nothings in his ear as he attempted for comfort. "It's okay baby. It's going to be okay.
