Blaine had invited Kurt to coffee along with several other Warblers to confront him about his spying. Blaine had a hidden agenda of course, he wanted to know who this kid was, because of his past, and he could see right through Kurt. And he saw a tortured soul. Also being out as gay since 9th grade, he realized Kurt and he had that thing in common. Oh his past it seemed like it was yesterday, and then again he was immensely so glad it wasn't.

Flashback to 9th grade

"Hey look there's the school Fag!" "Hey don't come in the locker room, we don't wanna be raped by you, faggot!" "Hey don't fucking look at me, fudge-packer, I wouldn't wanna catch your homo, butt-pirate!"

Blaine walked down the halls alone, and tired of the comments, he had a black eye from being punched in the face after looking around for the soap in the locker room showers, and accused of trying to stare at one of the jocks. He also had recovered from a recently broken arm from being slammed into a dumpster before he was thrown into it. Then it hit him, right in the face, a locker.

"Shit my nose! Goddammit!" he yelled nearly doubling over in pain. The girl apologized vaguely and walked away, Blaine was vulnerable so the jocks took this opportunity to kick him in the groin, "Shit, fuck!" he whispered collapsing on to the ground crying out in pain, his nose bleeding and maybe broken, and his groin stinging and burning and stabbing and throbbing all at the same time. "god! Why the hell can't I be normal? And why does no one care, I thought coming out would free me, not make me tortured for the rest of my fucking life!" Blaine got up slowly and walked down the hall to the bathroom to wash the blood off his face when suddenly a voice behind him said,

"Hey your not alone, I'm gay too!" he turned around to see one of the jocks smiling a hateful smile

"Please just leave me alone, please" Blaine hated that he begged in a high, cracking, tear filled voice.

"Not gonna happen queer, you are gonna pay for being a freak! Why can't you be fucking normal? It's sick how you wave your fruity ways in our faces and don't give a fuck that it makes us uncomfortable, so your gonna pay, I've done a little research, a traumatic experience can trigger people to be gay or straight, so I'mma give you a traumatic experience to make you from a butt pirate to straight!" he began to push Blaine into the bathroom and Blaine started to cry, trying his hardest to push the much bigger boy away, failing miserably. The jock began to remove Blaine's clothing, ripping it then turned Blaine around as Blaine screamed and tried to break free. Finally the moment arose where the jock released one of Blaine's wrists in order to remove the remainder of his clothing. Blaine circled his fist backwards with the adrenaline force and hit the jock in the face, surprisingly knocking the unsuspecting meathead out with one punch. He fell to the ground. Shirtless Blaine ran as fast as he could out of the bathroom never looking back. He had barely escaped a rape or some other terrible sexual assault plan. He ran into his room crying. He told his parents and they tried to tell the school but nothing helped, the next day he dared not go back to that school, so he stayed home several days while his parents tried, to get that jock expelled but nobody cared. His parents the next Monday transferred him to Dalton Academy, a safe place with a zero tolerance policy for bullying. He finally felt safe and at home, free to be himself without fear of violence. He regretting running away and not standing up but loved how Dalton saved his life

End of flashback

He saw that frightened boy in Kurt's eyes, the one he had been not a year ago. Kurt thanked the Warblers for the coffee and said

"Thanks for this before you beat me up for spying"

The other Warblers besides Blaine responded " we are not going to beat you up" and " you were such a bad spy we found it endearing" Kurt looked down at his coffee slightly relieved and embarrassed, then a voice broke the silence

" Kurt, I don't think your only intention was spying," Blaine stated and Kurt saw what he meant, he began to have tear in his eyes and Blaine said

"Guys would you excuse us for a minute?"

The Warblers said goodbyes and walked way leaving Kurt and Blaine at the table. Blaine raised a questioning eyebrow prompting Kurt to explain the tears.

"There is a Neanderthal at my school who makes my life a living hell for fun and no one seems to notice." Kurt said in a desperate cry for help, all Blaine could do is think of how he knew exactly how Kurt felt. He replied

" I know the feeling, kids used to bully me and it really... Pissed me off. I would suggest you to come here but Dalton's a little spendy, so I suggest firstly you stand up to him, because prejudice is just ignorance Kurt. Confront him! "

A while of chatter about the bullying in depth and past lead to flirting on Kurt's part and a little on Blaine's and the exchange of phone numbers then it was time for Kurt to leave.

Kurt looked up with a gleam of hope, glad he wasn't alone but terrified of the outcome this standing up would have. He said "thank you" and left

Blaine said "your welcome" as Kurt walked away, he had faith that Kurt could stand up but didn't know what this kid would do to him, so the next day around lunch he sent Kurt an uplifting text;

From: BLAINE

COURAGE

So when Karofsky approached Kurt and knocked him into a locker, Kurt chased after him and yelled at him, Karofsky became worked up and warned Kurt to get out of his face and then all the sudden, Kurt was hate kissed by his worst enemy.

He told Blaine this and suddenly he thought: "Shit, shit, Kurt, he was assaulted like me and it was because of me!" Feeling horrible he agreed to accompany Kurt to confront Karofsky the next day.

They began walking up the back staircase and saw Karofsky, Blaine said

" Kurt let me handle this," and Kurt nodded, " excuse me?" Blaine said to Karofsky who shoved him replying with

"Aye Kurt this your boyfriend?" he asked jokingly "move fags I gotta get to class" he shoved the boys aside then Blaine said

" Kurt told me what you did," Karofsky replied by turning around saying

"Oh yeah?" And the hate filled, heated glare Kurt received could have melted glaciers

Blaine friendly responded " trust me this is an EXTREMELY hard thing to come to terms with and your not alon-" he was interrupted by Karofsky pushing him against the fence. Kurt pushed him away saying " you've gotta stop this!" Karofsky turned and left

Blaine realizing the tension said jokingly, " we'll he's not comin out anytime soon," Kurt just sat on the stairs looking distraught,

"What's wrong?" Blaine asked worried

"Well until yesterday I had never been kissed or at least one that counted" Blaine shook his head and offered to buy him lunch. Blaine looked into those gorgeous blue eyes and says to himself again when he looked at Kurt that saw a friend and maybe someone who could be more
