I live in the UK, but following the constructive criticism I received on my one-shot I will try my hardest to write this just like on the show, without British slang. I will more than likely mess up without thinking about it though so if I do and it annoys me, just let me know!

This isn't canon, it wont be AU or anything but the idea I have for this doesn't fit canon at all. I'm also writing Dalton as a boarding school.

Anyway, I think this is all you need to know, so onwards!

It had been two weeks since their first kiss, several others had been shared since, all of them just as sweet and just as caring, but Kurt was worried. Not about his relationship, he felt wonderful about being in one with his best friend. He was worried about Blaine though. Something didn't feel right with him.

He was acting as he always did, happy and strong, confident and goofy, always putting everything he had into every single one of his songs and everything he did. Kurt was beginning to see though that the more time he spent with Blaine, the more he seemed to be hiding something.

Or maybe he wasn't hiding something exactly, maybe he was hiding himself, Kurt was beginning to wonder if that dapper boy that the warblers loved was actually quite different from the one that was sat currently opposite him looking exhausted who he thought he could love.

It was one of those rare weekends Kurt was actually staying at Dalton and not going home, his dad was taking Carole away for the weekend, Finn would be with Rachel, and everyone seemed to just have plans with someone else, Kurt didn't want to drive home to spend it alone, so he decided to stay.

They, he and Blaine, Wes, David, Jeff and Thad, were all crammed into a booth at a pizza place celebrating the completion of another school week and leaving their homework to be ignored for another night.

Blaine looked tired, really tried. He looked like there was something missing and it made Kurt's stomach clench thinking something might be wrong with his boyfriend. Leaning over he took his hand and smiled, "are you okay? You look really tired."

"I feel a bit off, I've been working hard this week it's probably stress. I think I'll just pass out in bed when I get back. I'm just gonna have garlic bread and the salad bar though. Won't risk the pizza."

David acted shocked, "Even Kurt's having pizza!"

"Yeah and he'll have to do like ten extra minutes of beauty therapy to cancel out the effects in the morning." Jeff groaned.

"You sleep through it." Kurt smirked at his roommate and squeezed Blaine's hand. Blaine left to go to the toilet and after he disappeared Kurt cleared his throat and turned to his friends.

"Guys…do any of you think that there's something wrong with Blaine lately?"

Wes nodded and looked extremely serious. "We've noticed…"

David blurted out, "It's since he's been going out with you."

"Oh." Kurt sat stunned and tried to keep the hurt expression off of his face. That hurt.

Luckily Wes knew what David meant, "David you're an idiot, think before you speak. Kurt, what David said is true but it isn't you, he's wanted to be with you just as much as you mooned over him before you got together. So there has to be something else."

Jeff kicked Blaine's roommate Thad under the table to get his attention, "sleepover in my room tonight?"

Kurt smiled at them knowing they were giving him a night alone to try and talk to his boyfriend. "Thanks guys."

Blaine returned, and whilst anyone else that didn't know him may think that he was fine, Kurt was picking up little things that were telling him otherwise. He really wasn't eating much, David and Thad had finished off his garlic bread and he had more played with rather than eaten his salad. He listened but rarely spoke and seemed to wish to curl up and sleep than join in like normal.

Kurt's stomach twisted when he realised that he too could pinpoint Blaine's apparent lack of life to the point they became boyfriends.

"Wait, I need to grab some stuff from my room."

"Okay, why?"

Kurt pressed a soft kiss to the others lips. "I'm staying with you tonight."

He received a smile that didn't quite meet Blaine's eyes. "Nice."

They settled in Blaine's rooms, Kurt hid in the bathroom and turned the shower on during the brief room check they had and changed into a pair of Blaine's sweats and one of his shirts.

"Blaine I want to talk to you that's why I'm here tonight."

"Oh god this can't be good."

"Don't panic. Come here, hold my hand."

"You're breaking up with me." Blaine looked like he had just been slapped, he looked as though he was about to start crying and Kurt was afraid that he would start as well.

"Don't be stupid. You're perfect Blaine. But something's changed between when we got together and now, or maybe, and I think this is more likely, it was always there and because I'm not focused on trying to impress you I'm only just noticing. I am so sorry for that."

"Please don't call me that."

"Don't call you what?"

"Perfect."

"But why? You are."

"No. I don't know how to be. I'm trying Kurt I really am. But I'm not."

Blaine's hair was starting to curl and he was sat uncharacteristically slumped on his bed. In that moment he looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and it made Kurt wonder how not just him, but anyone, could look at him and think him to be the same strong, confident leader that he portrayed so often. But Kurt knew, that no matter if the confident or the lost version was the real one, it wouldn't matter to him because he was perfect.

"Blaine is this why you've been acting weird? I don't want to pressure you, I don't want you to change yourself, I'm sorry for calling you perfect all the time but it doesn't mean I want you to be, I just mean you're perfect to me."

"I'm sorry, you've never seen me like this before."

"I know, but we're boyfriends, so in a horrible way I'm glad I get to see this side of you too. You've seen it on me countless times, it feels like its only fair."

Kurt felt better at seeing Blaine smile.

"You've always been perfect, ever since that moment I met you on the staircase and instead of beating me up you brought me coffee and became my best friend. I don't ever want you to change. But I do want you to be yourself around me Blaine, please don't feel you can't be. You're allowed to be vulnerable."

"Kurt there's some stuff you don't know about me, and I'm not ready to tell you yet. I think though, in time, you'll be the person here I am ready to tell. I told you I ran Kurt. I'm still running."

Kurt turned the bedroom light off and pulled Blaine's covers back on his bed, they climbed in together and Kurt just stared into his boyfriends gorgeous hazel eyes before he realised he should answer.

"I don't want to make you tell me until you're ready, but please know I'm here when you are okay? I hope you do trust in me eventually. I will help you however I can."

"Okay."

They shared a kiss and Blaine fell asleep almost instantly, it took Kurt longer to doze off because he was enjoying the view of the boy who looked more peaceful now than he had all week. Whatever Blaine was going through, which sounded like it was an issue he had coped with for a long time, Kurt would help him with it. Blaine deserved to understand why Kurt thought he was perfect.

I would really appreciate any feedback, even if it's just a simple "continue" or "don't bother", and simply by just adding this to your alerts will let me know you're reading. :)

I have a unique idea for this, for Blaine and it hasn't been in any of the fanfics I've read anyway so I'm excited to do something that I don't think has particularly widely explored (obviously I haven't read everything so I'm not claiming I'm the first lol). I hope you stick with it anyway.

This was a short introduction which can be summarised by saying 'angsty Blaine.'

Thanks for reading!

P.S. my tumblr is on my homepage :)
