From what Kurt could figure out that night his dad had ripped into Finn hard when he'd found out what had gone course he was pissed at his step brother but he did know deep down that he hadn't meant any harm, that he was just trying to protect him.
Blaine had driven back to Dalton later that night, against both Burt and Kurt's wishes. They both knew the boy was upset and to be honest Kurt was worried. Really worried. But he promised he'd drive safely and that he'd call him as soon as he got back. The next day was a free day for both of them so Kurt technically didn't have to go back to Dalton but he knew with no doubt that he'd be driving there. If only to keep an eye on Blaine.
Kurt and Burt were now sitting in the kitchen, while Finn was back in his room, grounded for a few weeks. He was scared of what his dad might say about the 'private' matter he'd mentioned earlier regarding Blaine, but really he was more scared of what would happen when Blaine finally did go back home.
"So you gunna tell me what's going on?"
Kurt sighed and bit his lip, his hands curling around a cup of hot chocolate, hesitating.
"I can't dad. It's..private. Like I said"
Burt shook his head, curiosity reaching it's peak.
"Kiddo. If you or Blaine are in trouble you know you have to tell me. Or..someone"
Kurt did want to tell his dad. He really did, but it was something that he'd promised Blaine. Promised that he'd never tell anyone until it got to the point that there was no choice. But there was always the possibility for his boyfriend to get hurt, hurt badly and he knew he'd never be able to live with himself if that came to fruition.
"Blaine. Blaine's dad is…well he's an asshole" he spoke lightly, not able to keep the slight anger out of his voice.
If Kurt was angry, Burt's face was one hundred times worse.
"What do you mean?" he prompted, reminiscing back to the time Blaine had come to see him in the shop, mentioning his dad.
Kurt frowned.
"I guess. I guess sometimes his dad gets angry. And goes too far..Way too far- B-But Blaine promised me not to tell anyone and god he's already so upset. He's going to be"
Burt stopped his son mid sentence once he'd calmed himself down to talk again.
"Kurt. Kurt. Breathe. I'm glad you told me" he said, reaching his hand out to squeeze his shoulder.
"We'll do something okay? Obviously you don't want him to get hurt again right? Look, how about we go down to Dalton tomorrow and we can talk"
Kurt swallowed. "Yeah. Yeah"
Blaine jumped back when he saw Finn's figure walking down the staircase at Dalton and he wanted nothing more than to just hide before he'd be seen. There was no Wes or David today and as much Blaine tried to talk himself into just relaxing he couldn't seem to calm himself.
And then a hand was waving in front of his face and Blaine felt like throwing up as his heart pounded in his chest.
"Man. You okay?"
Blaine let out a low breath to actually meet Finn's kind eyes, a drastic change from yesterday.
"How did you get back in? I thought security would have stopped you?" he asked, his voice shaking a bit with nerves as he stepped back.
Finn found himself feeling sorry for the boy in front of him, wishing that yesterday had just never happened.
"Dude you're shaking" he commented, watching with concern as the younger boy tried to control his breathing.
Blaine nodded.
"Can you just..go? he questioned softly.
"No. No. I wanted to apologize for yesterday. That was a dick move. And I'm sorry. I just thought you were hurting Kurt and after Karofsky I just had to make sure you weren't"
Blaine stood silent for a second as he thought things over. Kurt had always mentioned that Finn could get hot-headed and was one to not think through the consequences. But Dalton was meant to be his safe place. He thought he was safe.
"It's okay. I'm glad that you look out for him" he tried to smile lightly but wrapped his arms around himself protectively.
"Dude. I really am sorry. You don't have to be scared of me. Really. I totally promise it won't happen again"
Blaine shook the apology off.
"It's fine Finn" he repeated. "Don't worry about it"
Finn looked flabbergasted for a minute at how fast his apology was accepted before remembering back to what else was said yesterday.
"So what was all that yesterday…something private?"
Blaine paled at the statement and looked down at the floor.
"It's private Finn. I can't. I can't talk about it.
I'm sorry I have to go" he mumbled quickly before spinning around and leaving the other boy in the middle of the hallway.
Kurt had was aiming to get to Dalton and to Blaine earlier than his dad and he did just that, raising an eyebrow at the appearance of Finn.
He snapped his fingers in front of his step brothers frozen face.
"What are you doing here?"
Finn seemed to spring to life at the appearance at Kurt and motioned down the corridor.
"I was. I was talking to Blaine. I wanted to apologize. But I dunno I think he's really upset. I mentioned whatever you did yesterday and he got kind of..weird"
Kurt's heart dropped in his chest at that, hating the thought that Blaine was upset and probably alone.
"Okay. Okay. My dad's getting here soon so can you go wait at the office and meet him? I going to go find Blaine"
"Blaine"
Kurt knocked on his boyfriends room sharply.
"Hey. I know you're upset. Can you please just let me in"
The door swung open and instead of Blaine he was face to face with David.
"Is Blaine here?"
The dark skinned boy shook his head. "No. You just missed him. I think he said he was going home for the weekend"
"He's what?!" Kurt exclaimed.
"No. No. I need to talk to him"
He whipped out his phone, speed dialling Blaine and cursing when he got voice mail. Kurt didn't bother with messages, ignoring David's concerns before speedwalking back through the school and out to the parking lot.
If Finn had just talked to him Blaine couldn't be very far ahead.
"Kurt"
His dad's voice broke him out of his panic and he teared up when he noticed his boyfriend's car was gone.
"He's gone. He's gone home and fuck" he cursed, his hands carding through his hair.
