Chapter Seven: Helping Me, Helping You
Saturday had come and gone, bringing with it Sunday, and Blaine waking up in a room that wasn't his, beside a bed that wasn't his... only to realise that he stayed at Kurt's and this is Kurt's room, and that they're dating now, and he couldn't be happier... Blaine sat up slowly, moving so he was standing beside his boyfriend's bed, smiling when he noticed Kurt peacefully asleep. Blaine's mind was in overdrive, trying to think of something that would impress Kurt for their first-first date tomorrow night. He was considering taking him to Breadsticks for dinner, and then to the movies, but that's clichéd' and for some reason, Blaine doesn't think his boyfriend is big on the whole cliché thing, but more focussed on the romance aspect of everything... if he can get Kurt to believe in romance again, than their relationship could benefit from it greatly, and even serenading him with a song at Regional's next week could help... quietly, Blaine made his way through Kurt's bedroom, and to the door, which was cracked open a little, revealing a large hallway, that sports three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a banister, and a set of stairs that lead down to the living area of the house. At first glance, you wouldn't think the house would be as big as it is, but the sheer size is enough to match Blaine's house three times over... of course, his adopted parents aren't as well off as his biological parents, but they still have a fairly nice place...
Finn is already in the kitchen when Blaine walks in, rubbing the remaining sleep out of his eyes. Finn just turns to look at the boy, smiling, before turning back to whatever he's been doing previously. Blaine has yet to determine whether or not Finn hates him, or what, because every time since he and Kurt met, that he's been over, Finn's hardly spoken to him, and it worries him, especially now that he and Kurt have started dating. He wants to be on his boyfriend's brother's good side... especially with everything that's going on with Burt and whoever X is. Maybe Finn knows something about mysterious Mr. X? I could ask, but then if he doesn't and Kurt finds out, he'll probably kill me, and I'd like to at least make it to our first date, before anything bad happens. Blaine isn't sure about just aimlessly walking around Kurt's kitchen, making himself at home, but when Finn doesn't make a move to help him, he figures that getting a glass of water won't hurt anyone, and that should it, he can simply apologise, not that getting a drink is going to damage anyone's reputation or kill anyone... as much as I'd like to Blaine thought, as he grabbed a glass, and moved over to the sink, running the tap water, before leaning against the counter and slowly sipping the water. Finn had left the kitchen with whatever breakfast he'd made for himself, and was veged out on the couch. Blaine had turned around to rinse the glass he was using, and was shocked to come face to face with Burt Hummel as he was making his way back towards the stairs.
'I'm not a stupid man; I can tell when there's something going on with my son, and regardless of the problems we've been having lately, I know when Kurt is hiding something. You seem like a good kid Blaine, and as long as you tell me the truth, I won't hurt you. are you dating my kid?' the burly man asked, crossing his arms, in what he thought was an intimidating manner
'Yes sir, only since last night though. We've been friends for almost a month, and I really like your son,' Blaine replied, keeping firm eye contact with Burt
'Mmm, do you know, that I haven't seen Kurt smile in three months... one night, he comes home from Santana's, smiling brightly, and I knew it had to be a boy. But heed this warning... should you hurt my son, I will make you pay. Oh, and you can call me Burt is guess,'
'I won't ever hurt your son sir... I promise,' Blaine replied, shaking the man's hand, and watching as Burt just smiled, and walked off to join his step-son in the lounge
From the time Blaine had woken, and gone downstairs to when he returned to Kurt's room, he wasn't sure whether or not Burt had given them his blessing, or if it was a ploy to get back in his son's good books. Either way, when Blaine found Kurt awake, and sitting curled into himself on his bed, he couldn't help but be worried about his boyfriend. Kurt smiled slightly as Blaine sat down beside him, trying not to get too close, having noticed that Kurt keeps them distanced even during their sessions. Blaine wanted to hear the rest of Kurt's story, but he wasn't going to force the boy to talk about it if he didn't want. He knew for a fact, that Kurt was struggling with whatever it was, and he certainly hadn't had any help from people at home, given what Burt was saying about his and Kurt's relationship, and the way that Finn just brushes past Kurt as if it's nothing. Like he's not there... for that, Blaine hates the quarterback... he only found out that Finn was the quarterback when he and Santana had spoken at Youth Group, and she'd been complaining about Finn and his stupid football or something... Blaine hadn't really paid attention, more worried at watching Kurt, curled into the far corner of the common room, not letting anyone close enough to touch him... for some reason, Wes' voice kept going through Blaine's head... 'You can't date your charges... can't date them... it's against the rules...' but surprisingly, Blaine didn't care. He knows he doesn't love Kurt yet, but it's certainly stronger than anything else he's felt before...
The countertenor didn't bother looking over at the dapper boy when he sat down on the bed, facing Kurt, his hands immediately reaching out, comfortably seeking the pale ones in front of him. Kurt blushed as he grabbed Blaine's hand, the knowledge that Blaine is there, and is his boyfriend, almost too overwhelming for him to handle...he knows they need to finish talking, he knows he needs to tell Blaine everything, but he can't do it in this house, not with his father, and Finn and Carole downstairs, either one could come up at any moment, and hear something, and it could destroy everything Kurt's worked for... what am I saying? Everything I've worked for? I'm suicidal, won't let anyone touch me, including my boyfriend, which I still can't believe, I haven't worked for anything... I'm working for something now, but before, I was just broken, I still am, but I'm getting help... Blaine helps... Kurt thought, his inner thoughts taking over his sense of reality, until he felt Blaine's hand caress his cheek, and lean forward for a soft, chase kiss. He should have known it was coming, that's what teenage hormones do, they propel you forwards, until you reach that place of pleasure, and it overwhelms you, but Kurt went back to that moment, that moment he's only told Santana about, and so when Blaine moved to kiss him more passionately, Kurt freaked out, pushing his boyfriend off of him, and moving so he was standing, arms wrapped around him, hair dishelved, an equally shocked Blaine sitting on the bed, unsure of what had just happened...
'I'm sorry Blaine... I'm so sorry, I just... haven't... I need to tell you the rest of what happened. We're dating, and you need to know... I just... trust you...' Kurt replied, and Blaine had never felt more loved in that moment... he nodded, motioning for Kurt to sit back down
'Do you want me to call Sanny to come over?' Blaine asked, taking Kurt's hand
'No... I can... I can do this... I need to do this because I really like you, and I don't want to lose you... but I understand if you want to leave after what I say because I'm not worth it,'
'Stop it Kurt... I'm not leaving... what do I have to do to prove that to you?' Blaine asked, turning Kurt's head to look in his eyes
'This is helping...' Kurt replied, taking a deep breath, and closing his eyes...
Like I said last night, I tried to call out b-but he slammed me into the wall a-and told me to s-shut up... I didn't know what was going to happen, but I was so scared, that I just did what he said... he was alot bigger than me, a football player, which explains why I'm weird around Finn, that amongst other things... x, he... he had me up against the w-wall, and when he forcefully k-k-kissed me, I... I don't really remember much after that, but waking up with an aching pain and cracked ribs, naked, on the floor of the boys bathrooms at McKinley... it changed me... Kurt was watching Blaine, who had a look in his eyes, mixed with sadness for his boyfriend, and anger at the person that did this... Kurt took Blaine squeezing his hand reassuringly as his cue to continue... I didn't tell my dad. He doesn't know... Santana found me after I'd locked myself in my car... she had to smash a window to get to me... I didn't want to be in the hospital, and it was only a couple of broken ribs, but she insisted we go anyway... I'd blacked out, and so when the doctor told me that I'd been... that he'd... he'd r-r-raped me, I broke down... Santana and Britt are the only ones, beside you now, who know... that's why I don't sit close, and I'm sorry I flipped out before... Kurt said, nodding to let Blaine know it was okay for him wrap his arms around the countertenor in a loving and protective hug. Blaine wanted to kill whoever this person was for taking that from Kurt, and even though they've only been together two days, the hurt that his boyfriend feels won't be erased just by talking about it... Blaine was pushing it, by asking the question, but he had to... he's the mentor, he has to know...
'Kurt, what was his name... the guy that did this to you...' Blaine asked, and he felt Kurt tense and force him away, before curling back into himself, shaking his head, and muttering nonsense under his breath
'He's gone Blaine. He's in jail, and he's not coming back... I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm going to have a shower, and then we can watch a movie,' Kurt replied, kissing Blaine's cheek, before moving from the bed
'I won't hurt you like he did Kurt. I'd never pressure you, or force you into anything, and if we do something, and you want to stop, just say, and I'll stop straight away... 'Blaine said, not moving from his place on the bed
'I know... I trust you...' Kurt replied, smiling and heading into the ensuite bathroom, all intentions of ridding himself of the pain, gone with the thoughts of Blaine in the next room
Just as Kurt re-entered the room, and climbed back onto the bed with Blaine, said boys phone chimed with a text, probably from his friend Wes, or Santana, who had been acting a little off since last night, and he was hoping it had nothing to do with him and Kurt dating, or the assault on his boyfriend... Blaine pulled his phone from his bag, and opened the message, smiling when Kurt settled down beside him, a small gap between them, as he played the movie Blaine had chosen, which happened to be Mulan, much to the countertenor's surprise...
To: Blaine Anderson
Berry heard something about what Kurt said last night and is holding a meeting at the Lima Bean tomorrow afternoon at four. I know we have the centre, and I wasn't planning on going, but I think one of us should make an effort, just to make sure she doesn't have all of ND heading over to the Hudmel house, and scaring Burt...
From: Santana Lopez
Blaine sighed, almost loud enough to distract Kurt, but relieved when the other boy didn't look over at him from the movie... he was sure that Kurt would have had a fit had he seen the message, and knew that Rachel was onto something. He was still trying to get Kurt to open up, but the last hour was a giant step forward for their relationship, platonic and romantic, and he wouldn't have some prissy bitch disrupt that, Finn's girlfriend or not...
To: Santana Lopez
I'll deal with Rachel. Kurt told me about the... about what happened to him... I really want to fucking bash the life out of the guy that did this to him... I know we've only been dating for like, a day, or whatever, but I think I'm falling hard for him... I also want him away from that school. I 'm going to talk to Kurt about Dalton, and maybe see if he'll talk to his father... just keep an eye on ND at school...
From: Blaine Anderson
He's going to get Rachel to back off, because he wants his first-first date with Kurt, and he's going to have it, whether or not Rachel Berry permits it... in fact, the only permission he needs is from Burt and Kurt... hey that rhymes... really Blaine? Really? He thought to himself, shaking his head to rid himself of his stupid thoughts, and focussing on the movie, which was hard to do, when Kurt was lying on his stomach beside him, hair still damp, in sweats and a t-shirt, smelling like... heaven... Kurt could feel Blaine looking at him, assessing every part of him, he knew because he had been doing the same not five minutes before hand... he wasn't use to having the attention of a very attractive boy, looking at him with pure lust and what Kurt could only determine as love, but he wouldn't say it yet because, hello, it's only been a day... he'd never had the attention of anyone before... at least, not in the way Blaine was paying attention to him... he didn't want to think of... but he couldn't help it, it has only been three months, and everything still hurts... so unlike himself, Kurt turned to look at Blaine, his hazel eyes soft, his smile kind... Kurt closed the small gap between them, pressing his lips against the curly-haired boys, letting the feeling on Blaine linger for a moment before pulling back, blushing slightly, when Blaine smiled, and kissed his temple, before joining their hands and turning back to the movie... thoughts of what he could do for his and Kurt's first date filling his mind...
A/N: Sooooooo? What did you guys think? I personally think it works into their relationship really well, and sets up future story lines... Thanks for reading. JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.
