Disclaimer: No, I do NOT own Glee, any of the actors on Glee, any of the characters on Glee, or any songs on Glee that I may mention below.

Me: I am so very sorry that I have skipped out for a while. I seriously just got back from our class Washington D.C. trip which was eventful and awesome, but all this month I was sick and just preparing for the trip so I finally, finally got done with it. I was crying as I was writing the end, so spoilers, it's kind of sad.

Kurt: OMFG! WHAT HAPPENS? WHAT ARE DOING TO US?

Blaine: You said you would never break us up!

Me: Who said I was breaking you up? Grilled cheesus, don't overreact. It's unattractive.

KurtandBlaineGleek: Welcome back, you. ARGH! If only I could say that about Glee….

Me: Yeah, well, when we had our layover in L.A. my friends and I were joking about trying to find out where Darren Criss was and possibly stalking him….obviously that didn't work out.

KurtandBlaineGleek: Hehe omg, I can see the headlines now. 'CRAZY FANGIRL STALKS GLEE STAR DARREN CRISS'

Me: …We wouldn't have gotten caught! What you talking about, girlie?

Kurt/Blaine: ….

Me: Heh heh heh *malevolent laugh*

Kurt: Somehow…that laugh was

Blaine: Very foreboding….

Me: They finish each other's sentence! So cute! Hang onto that fluff….

Kurt:*shudders*

Me: Yeah, well, on with the story!


Kurt was crying into Blaine's shoulder and he very vaguely heard Mr. Schuester arguing with the other boys, trying to keep them from beating the hell out of Ben Jacob Israel. At this point, Kurt honestly didn't care what happened to that rat. How did he even know about the pregnancy? Finn or Mr. Schuester never would have told him, and he couldn't have ever over heard them at their houses…the only other place would be in…the…bathroom. Damn those slushies. Kurt started crying harder at the conclusion. "I want to go home, Blaine. Please let me go home." He was whispering so softly that he was sure only Blaine could hear him.

"Of course, honey, I'll take you home." Blaine said quietly, and Kurt could tell from the tone of his voice that he was crying. This broke his heart even more. It just killed him. How could this happen. How?

Kurt tried to catch everyone's attention. His voice was hoarse from crying, and he was still clinging to Blaine. "Guys…Guys….GUYS!" Everyone looked at him. "I appreciate this…whatever…it is, but Blaine and I…we just need to go home. I know you're angry, and I know that you would love to be the ones to kick Jew Fro's goddamn ass," Everyone's jaw dropped. They had never heard Kurt curse in all their time together. Never. This was seriously affecting him. "But I doubt Mr. Schuester would allow it and I don't want anyone to go to juvie. It wouldn't help anything. Just…Blaine's going to take me home, and that's going to be the end of today. I just need to be home with him, right now, okay? We'll see you later."

Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and they moved to walk out amongst the quiet group. No one tried to stop them as they walked out into the hallway. "Blaine, I need to get my stuff from my locker. You do too." Kurt was quiet. He noticed that everyone had a copy of the Muckraker. Great; just absolutely freaking great.

"Let's do that, and then we're going straight home." Blaine was quiet. He arms around Kurt became tighter as they walked past everyone. Kurt knew that a strong, confident façade is what he needed but he couldn't maintain one. He just couldn't. Everyone looked up at them from over the tops of the Muckrakers. He noticed every look. There was anger, disgust, disbelief. They weren't saying a thing, but Kurt felt like he was being torn apart with every stare, every glance, and every bat of an eyelash. Oddly enough, he didn't expect to find sympathy, but it was mixed in there. Sympathy and sadness, but it wasn't a good sympathy. It was a "look-at-them-they've-fucked-up-their-lives" type of sympathy. It all added up to judgment. So much judging and evaluating and it was tearing his outside appearance down until there was nothing. He remembered about Quinn and understood how she must've felt. You couldn't escape it. They weren't saying anything to you; you couldn't hide behind witty responses and sarcasm. You couldn't do anything. You were helpless and vulnerable and you couldn't escape that feeling. Looking at Blaine, Kurt saw that he must've been feeling the same way, his face displaying a variety of emotions.

As they walked they got comments. "FREAKS, WHORE, SLUT, UNHUMAN, FAGS". All these felt like a punch in the stomach when Kurt heard them. They couldn't tell who said them in the crowded hallways, but it didn't matter. It was a depressing, stressful, frightful occurrence. Then Kurt saw something that he never thought he would. Karofsky was standing in the hallway and before anything else happened, the jock gave a small, but truly and honestly sympathetic smile. Kurt gaped at him, still securely in Blaine's arms. But before anything else could happen, they suddenly felt hands shoving them forcefully against the nearest lockers. Kurt closed his eye, but when he felt no direct impact with the metal he opened them to realize was that Blaine had angled them around so that he would hit the lockers full on, but Kurt could be spared the impact. He looked back at his boyfriend who was cringing in pain, and spotted the huge figure who was walking away. Azimio… The black teenager turned back around and yelled, "UNHUMAN FAGS!"

Kurt was shocked, standing in stunned silence as the hulking football player walked away. He felt Blaine's arms go stiff around him and looking up at the boy to see him looking in a different direction. Following his gaze, he saw Karofsky walking towards them. Kurt stiffened, even though his stomach was churning. All the recent activity did not seem to go over very well with the babies. They seemed to know that something was happening to their daddy, and their reaction was not making him feel any better. His head was starting to buzz as Karofsky came up right in front of them, looking around nervously, as though talking to them would get him immediately lynched.

"You guys okay?"

Kurt nodded hesitantly, and he looked up at Blaine whose mouth was set in a firm line. Besides being shaken up, humiliated, and now seemingly endangered, yeah, they were dandy. Karofsky smiled faintly before regaining his previous composure of nervous tension. He nodded at them. "Good. You need anything, just ask." And then he walked away.

Kurt turned around in Blaine's arms, letting his head fall on the curly-haired boy's shoulder and sniffled. How did it ever get this bad? Blaine held him tightly as people bumped against them with no regards for the conditions of either of the boys. Kurt could only think of Blaine and the babies. "Blaine, let's just go home. I'll tell Finn what to get out of both of our lockers. I just need to be at home with you." He started tearing up and Blaine nodded his agreement before wrapping his arms tightly around his crying boyfriend and leading him out.

Back at the Hummel-Hudson residence, Kurt and Blaine immediately went up to Kurt's room. Kurt shot off a few rapid fire texts to Finn, before turning his phone off to just be with Blaine, because that was what he needed right then. They got on the plush bed and Blaine pulled him into a spooning position, cuddling the pregnant boy as close to him as possible as the tears started coming into Kurt's eyes again. The warmth and security of the arms around him helped, but he still couldn't help but feel helpless. "B-blaine…we're dead. They're going to kill us. I'm so afraid." Kurt's voice was whispered and hoarse, and when Blaine spoke, his was no better.

"I'm afraid too. I'm not going to lie. When that Azimio guy pushed us, I swear, if he wasn't bigger than me on all accounts, I would've beat the living hell out of him—"

"Blaine…While that would've been amazing if you actually could, I'm kind of glad you didn't try. There are two babies here that need their other father. But…thank you for protecting me." Kurt ducked his head.

"Thanks for that vote of confidence," Both boys snorted. "And it's my duty, Kurt. It could've hurt you, or worse. I was so afraid."

"For the babies, right? About a miscarriage?" Kurt's voice was hushed and he could feel Blaine tense as he nodded. It was too scary, almost, to voice the possibility out loud. Kurt didn't want to even think about it. He knew he had said he was not ready for twins, or children period, and that this pregnancy was taking every bit of strength, physically, emotionally, and mentally…but he just couldn't lose it now. Not after everyone knew, not after there had been so much stress and worry and problems. These babies were theirs, and if some dumbass like Azimio ever did anything to ruin this for them, Kurt was pretty sure that he would be compelled to kill. Kurt felt a surge of warmth as Blaine pulled the boy closer to him than Kurt thought was even possible. He knew Blaine felt the same way.

"Kurt…these kids are ours. I would do anything to protect them or you. I could never not be protective; I couldn't stand by and let you get hurt. I couldn't let them shove you into a locker and not do something to stop it."

Kurt smiled an open mouth smile, turning around in the security around him to show the boy he loved his expression. Blaine erupted into a 1000 watt smile the minute he saw his boyfriend so happy. Kurt hummed as he felt rapid fire flutters in his stomach. Blaine looked at him questioningly as the pregnant boy closed his eyes for a moment, taking Blaine's hands and putting them on his stomach under his own.

"Blaine…the babies are moving, right where our hands are right now. I can just feel it. Each one is just like a little flutter." Kurt smiled, opening his eyes to see an awed Blaine.

"God, I can't wait to feel them kick from the outside. To feel our little kids move." Kurt nearly giggled at the look on Blaine's face. The ex-warbler was almost both pouting and happy at the same time. But Kurt knew now how it felt to be almost a mother. He could feel the proof that the babies were growing, that they were there and moving. Only him right now, he was the one who could feel it, no one else. It was like a secret, and it made him really feel that if he could keep these kids safe as long as they were in there.

"Blaine, not to make you jealous or anything, but it's an amazing feeling. It's so…gentle and subtle, like it will disappear any moment. Like a tune on a music box. It reminds me of how amazing life is and how amazing you are for giving me the chance to feel this way and have these babies, especially because I'm going through it with you. I love you Blaine."

"I love you too, Kurt." Blaine's hands gently rubbed in slow, soothing circles on Kurt's stomach. "No matter what, you're mine and I'll protect you."

"Please protect me, Blaine. Just hold me. I just need you, please just hold me." Kurt grasped onto Blaine. Blaine nodded, tightening his hold around the boy in his arms.

Later that day, when Burt and Carole came home to find most of the Glee Club in their living room looking pissed off, they were not thrilled to say the most. As they sat down and listened to what the teenagers told them, they ended up in a mood that was not much better than the kids.

"How the hell did this happen?" Burt looked seriously pissed, and his tone of voice did not succeed in hiding the emotion.

Everyone looked at each other, but they all shrugged. "We're not quite sure, Burt. Maybe Kurt and Blaine know, but…we just….want to do something for them." Finn looked around as everyone nodded.

"They're some of the best people we know." Rachel grinned. "They don't deserve to be treated like that, and we want them to know that we've got their backs."

Tina nodded. "We'll be here for them." Mike wrapped his arm around her shoulders and nodded his agreement.

"With Mr. Schuester's help, we prepared this very quickly in the past 3 hours, just so we could perform this to them." Mercedes smiled and looked around at everyone who were all smiling.

"I've been through this. You just need someone to tell you they're there for you, and they're going to need it even more with their situation." Quinn nodded, her tone serious.

Burt looked at Carole, who was grinning at the groups' earnest expressions. She nodded. "We'll go get them."

Suddenly they heard Kurt's voice behind them. "Get who?" They took in his appearance. He was wrapped in Blaine's arms, both of their clothes were rumpled from sleep, carefully styled hair out of place, eyes red from crying. All at once, everyone noticed their state as a whole. They both had bags under their eyes, Kurt's stomach had grown a bit, they were both pale, and looked little and lost and scared. And Blaine was taller than Kurt. By an inch. When had everything changed?

Rachel stood up, brushing off her skirt. "You guys. We…Well, you guys are amazing. And everything that's happened today…you don't deserve it. At all."

Finn broke in. "We want you to know that we love you guys." He looked at everyone, the smiles genuine and sympathetic and directed towards Kurt and Blaine. Both boys felt like crying.

Puck cleared his throat. "We'll be here for you dudes. Anything you need, just ask."

Quinn stood up. "Kurt, I've been in your shoes. Trust me, I can help."

Mercedes went to grab them both by the hands and led them to sit down on the couch. "You boys are amazing, and you'll get through this, and we want you to know that we'll be with you every step of the way to help. You've got 11 people here who love you and are going to help you. So please don't worry. We want to sing you a little something. We just threw this together, we couldn't wait any longer. We just wanted to let you know." She nodded to Rachel who hit play on a portable CD player and a steady bass beat started immediately. Finn took the first verse, singing directly to the boys who looked utterly surprised.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.

The girls took the chorus with the boys doing the slightly deeper octave repeats of words.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

Quinn and Tina sang the next verse, alternating every two lines. They came to sit by the boys, Tina putting an arm around Blaine's shoulders and Quinn giving Kurt a quick hug. He had started tearing up, blaming those damn hormones (what else could it be?) and he smiled.

Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.

They performed the chorus as before, crowding around the boys and giving them hugs or reassuring pats on the back and arms before a couple of them sat down on either ends of the boys and started gently bumping them side to side to the beat of the song until the boys were laughing, enjoying the upbeat tempo of the song as they rocked to the rhythm.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

The song broke off into a guitar solo there and Puck played a wicked air guitar along to the track, much to everyone's amusement, and the club grouped around Kurt and Blaine, understanding that just being there was enough. Burt and Carole were laughing and smiling at the group's enthusiasm. The song suddenly quieted down and Mercedes took Kurt's hand and sang the next two lines and everyone sang the finishing last two lines of the song in harmony.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.

Kurt and Blaine joined with them quietly on the last chorus, enjoying the playful, loving atmosphere everyone was giving off. The girls all kissed them both on the cheek quickly and the boys patted them on the back. Everyone was kind of dancing by the end, whether sitting down or getting up and actually dancing.

It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright).

The song ended and everyone laughed. It had been fun, but it had been more than that. It had been something that they needed. Both Kurt and Blaine looked around. Kurt was crying and laughing at the same time, and he hugged Mercedes, Rachel, Tina, and even Quinn as Blaine and everyone else looked on, before suddenly there was a group hug and everyone was being pulled in. Within the tight circle, Kurt and Blaine both said a simultaneous 'thank you'.

The club stayed for dinner, Burt and Carole ordering a lot of pizzas to feed all of them especially with the appetites of the boys in the group and Kurt's sudden craving for artichoke and cheese, and after that keeping the boys company and talking about the kids that were soon going to join their group. The topics ranged from nursery décor (mostly the girls and Kurt) to names (everyone) to how Kurt and Blaine admitted that they were afraid of becoming parents and scared that they would let their children down.

"I'm just not sure that I can be a good parent. I never even thought of having children." Kurt was wolfing down his seventh piece of pizza (to everyone's great astonishment. They stared at him as he just kept eating without even stopping to breathe). Everyone turned to look at Blaine, who had his arm around Kurt, and he shrugged.

"I knew I wanted children someday, especially with Kurt, but…this is sooner than I thought it would be and I always thought it would be adoption. But I'm not complaining. I guess I'm just worried about being a good parent too. I'm not exactly the most fit to be a parent yet, I think." He frowned briefly before looking at Kurt who was still munching on his slice of pizza and smiled at the pregnant boy.

Everyone nodded at the remarks. Burt (who, with Carole, had been hanging out near the kids and listening to their conversation, remarking now and then) spoke up. "I was terrified when I learned that I was going to be a father. Now, Kurt's mother and I were already married and not in high school, so I can only imagine how scary it must be for Kurt and Blaine, but honestly…I think the best you can do is just raise them and teach them the ethics that you think are important. They're going to be their own person, so you can't really change that, but you can try to teach them wrong from right." Carole nodded in agreement, and Quinn smiled.

"I didn't keep Beth, and I regret that. I was terrified of being a parent at my age so I just…let go of the problem and hoped she'd have a good life, and because of that…I have complete respect for you two. You're doing what I couldn't, with even harder circumstances, and having two children. I think your kids are going to be lucky because they'll have you two as fathers, and they'll not only be loved and raised well, they're probably going to be the only kids I now that will be able to name all of Broadway's greatest stars and every current designer by the time they're two." Everyone laughed, and Kurt blushed.

"That's one, honey. They'll know their designers and stars before they know their own names." Kurt raised his eyebrow and Blaine bit back a laugh as everyone else chuckled. With that remark, Kurt finally put down the pizza slice he was working on and just snuggled up against Blaine, putting his hand on his stomach and closing his eyes briefly.

"Besides," Finn cut in, a proud look on his face, "They'll have me as an uncle."

Everybody else in the room chuckle-snorted. Finn looked around with a hurt look on his face. "What?"

Blaine smiled. "Nothing. It's just that….our babies will have two uncles."

"Dude, they'll have a lot more than that with all the guys in the club." Puck spoke through a mouthful of pizza.

"That's true. But then they'll have Cooper." Kurt's voice was lethargic with sleepiness.

"…Who's Cooper?"

"He's my older brother." Blaine smiled.

Finn looked at him. "I didn't know you had an older brother."

Rachel coughed. "Um, I don't think anyone but Kurt did. Did you even know, Burt and Carole?"

Both of the parents nodded their heads and everyone turned to Blaine. "Why didn't you tell us before?"

"Well, I don't know. It just never came up. I don't seem him very often. He's studying medicine at John Hopkins on a full grant. He's seven years older than me."

"Whoa, whoa, John Hopkins? Seven years apart?" Everyone looked at him like he was crazy. Only Kurt was calm, his head still on Blaine's shoulder.

"Yep, John Hopkins. And yes, we're seven years apart. It's not a big deal. Anyway, he's like the perfect son. He got straight A's in school —"

"Which Blaine gets too." Kurt smiled up at him and Blaine chuckled.

"Yes, I do. But he wanted to study medicine and become a doctor. I want to study music and the performing arts. It's not like my parents aren't supportive, they just don't think it's very practical. Plus, he's straight. And he didn't get someone pregnant in high school. With twins. And he didn't get kicked out because he pissed off our dad. But he doesn't act like he's the perfect son either. He's really cool and I love spending time with him when I can. He watches my back with dad, and he accepts me and just loves Kurt. Coop's a really great brother, and I feel like a horrible one for not telling him he's going to be an uncle, or really anything that's been going on." Blaine was absently playing with a lock of Kurt's hair that had come out of the careful style.

Kurt mewled at the touch before looking up at the boy he loved. "Hey, it will be okay. He'll understand."

"I just don't feel I should tell him over the phone. On the other hand, I don't want him to come home and see the babies and find out that way."

Kurt chuckle-snorted. "I think he'll be back before that. Didn't you say he was coming back for a few weeks soon because of something?"

"Well, he's coming to Ohio State to work with a professor here that's apparently really good. Apparently Hopkins' been trying to get their hands on him, but OSU was his alma mater so he's staying there. Coop will be working with him for about a month, I think. Anyway, he's going to come home for a little bit."

"So we can tell him then."

"But by then you'll be two months along."

"…Do you really think it will matter?"

"…No…"

"Then it's settled. We tell him then." He buried his head on Blaine's shoulder yet again and yawned as the rest of the group started asking questions about the mysterious Cooper. After a few minutes he started nodding off.

"You sleepy, honey?" Blaine's voice was gentle and he stroked Kurt's shoulder. Kurt nodded, wrapping his arms around Blaine's torso. His boyfriend just smiled and kissed him on the forehead before turning to the group.

"I'd better help him to bed. He needs to rest; it's been a long day." Everyone nodded and Blaine stood up, bringing the pregnant boy with him and guiding him upstairs before helping him change and get into bed. Kissing the boy on the forehead again, he promised he'd be back soon. He went to join the rest of the group, who were talking.

When he sat down, he got a question he didn't expect. Santana turned to him, smiled devilishly, and then asked out right, "Blaine, are you going to propose to Kurt?"

Blaine nearly choked on the sip of root beer he was taking. "Uh…."

"Is that a no?"

"What? No!"

"So it is a no?"

"Yes, I mean no, I mean, yes I plan on proposing, I just don't know when. Why are you asking suddenly?"

"I was just wondering. Him being knocked up and all…we just kind of expect it. But I guess we were wrong."

Blaine stared at everyone a minute, trying to make his brain work and it finally connected. "WAIT – are you saying I won't make a commitment to Kurt? That I'll leave him? Even though he's pregnant?"

Everyone looked anxious, but no one said a word. Blaine scoffed. "Give me a little credit, here. I might be scared of being a father but there is no, I repeat, no way that I could ever leave him. I love Kurt. He's my life. Just because I haven't figured out when exactly to propose doesn't mean that I don't want to. I just want it to be perfect. I don't want it to seem that I'm only asking him because I knocked him up; like that's the only reason. Have you thought about how that might affect him, if he thought that? I love him with all my body and soul, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and the fact that you doubt that hurts me more than you might think it does."

The others in the room now looked guilty. Quinn spoke up. "We're sorry Blaine. We didn't mean to make it seem like that…we just love both you and Kurt, we just want to make sure neither one of you gets hurt."

The curly-haired boy looked at her a second before nodding. "Maybe I overreacted. It's just…after everything with my father…I get a little defensive when someone attacks my relationship with Kurt. I think I'm going to go join him in bed. I told him I'd be right back and I'm kind of tired. I'll see you guys later. Thanks for coming. I'll see you in the morning, Burt, Carole, Finn." He smiled at them briefly before leaving to make his way to bed.

As he walked up the stairs, got changed, and into bed, the recent conversation bugged him. He knew he wanted to propose. He honestly, really did. But now…it would seem less than it was. It would seem like he was just doing it because he got Kurt pregnant and it was the honorable thing to do. How could he make it seem like, yes, that was part of it, but it was mainly because he loved Kurt and couldn't live without him. And even more, would Kurt say yes? He knew the caramel-haired boy was a not big fan of early marriage, and they'd have to leave the state to do it legally. Maybe it would be different if it was them; if Blaine made it a point of how much he wanted this. What if Kurt really did want it? If he didn't ask, it would hurt Kurt more than it would hurt Blaine. On the same hand, Kurt could not even be thinking about it though. Right now, the babies were the biggest thing on his mind, it seemed. Maybe marriage really could wait. It would only stress them out more, the way things were going. Or it could give Kurt something to take his mind off the babies and stuff going on at school; a distraction. Honestly, Blaine had considered all possibilities but the more he did, the more his head hurt.

Or maybe Blaine was just stressing too much. Kurt loved him. That was enough for right now. Marriage was in their plans. Maybe soon, maybe not; but it was. That's all that mattered. Maybe it would give them more security with their new family and college plans, and Blaine was not discounting the idea all together. He just knew right than that he needed to be there for Kurt, and stressing about proposing would not help them anymore. It was something that could take a back seat in his mind for a while, and it was something that was going to have to.

When Kurt woke up the next morning, he felt better than he had for a while. That is until the usual routine of having to vomit sent him to the bathroom. Blaine joined him as usual to stay where they would be for most of that morning and afternoon, holding his hand and being there for him, but Kurt was feeling so sick he could appreciate the security his boyfriend gave him.

"God, when is this going to stop?" The pregnant boy put his hand on his stomach, rubbing slowly.

"Mm, I've been reading up lately and apparently morning sickness stops around the 2nd or 3rd month…but…" Blaine trailed off as he looked at the boy next to him.

"But what? What's the 'but'?" Kurt looked panic stricken.

"With your condition it might be a little different. I guess we'll have to talk to the doctor." He shrugged and Kurt groaned.

"I hate it, I hate it, I hate this, I hate this feeling, I hate vomiting my guts out all morning and afternoon and day, and I hate it! It absolutely sucks!" He pouted and glared at Blaine.

"I'm sorry."

"Ugh, it's all your fault. You'd better be sorry." He stuck his tongue out at Blaine who resisted a smile.

"And I see that the hormones are kicking in?"

"What? How dare you suggest that?" The incredulous tone of his voice made it hard for Blaine to not laugh. "Why are laughing at me? Blaine, you're so mean. I hate you." He started tearing up, and Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and pulled him to his chest.

Trying not to laugh he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"But you're still doing it…" Kurt sniffled and the hazel-eyed boy put on the most serious face he could manage and pushed Kurt back gently so he could see it.

"See? I'm not laughing. Now I'm very sorry that I laughed at you. Do you forgive me?"

"I guess…" Blaine smiled and brought him back to his chest, where Kurt snuggled before noticing that the door had been opened and Finn was looking questioningly at them. 'Hormones', Blaine mouthed. Finn nodded.

"Finn, do you want something?" Blaine asked, and Kurt looked up to where his step-brother was standing.

"Uh…yeah…I was on facebook…and, well, you might not like what I saw on your wall, Kurt….You too, Blaine."

Kurt buried his head on Blaine's shoulder. "Oh my god…already? Why? Why can't they just leave us alone?"

"Yeah…so…I guess I'll go." Finn shut the door and the two were left in silence.

Kurt started tearing up again. "Why can't they just leave us alone, Blaine? Don't they have other things to do besides terrorizing us?"

"Hey, Kurt, it's okay. You know? We might just have to narrow down our friends right now, okay? On facebook and in real life. We need to know who will be here for us. It will be okay." `

Kurt pulled away from Blaine. He wiped his eyes hastily. "No, no it's not. God, Blaine, don't you realize? It's not okay. They're going to be all over us. You don't understand! You don't get it! I've been here before. They write on your facebook, on tumblr, on twitter. They send you anonymous texts and phone calls. They say things to your face. They say things behind your back. They push you into lockers, they push you into the ground, they beat you up, they slushie you. They don't care if you're hurt, they don't care if you're miserable, they don't care if you're pregnant, or sick or anything. They don't care if they're driving you to suicide. They don't even care if you try to commit suicide! They're the ones that say 'try, try, again'! They're the ones who think the world's better off if you succeed, and they don't mind telling you that! I'm so sick and tired of the whole, 'everything gets better'! I don't want to hear it anymore! I just want it to get better! I'm so freaking tired of waiting, and waiting, and waiting! I just want it to be okay! To be okay to be gay and to have a boyfriend and to have a glimmer of happiness in my life because whenever I seem to get that, something comes along and makes it harder than it ever needs to be! To the point where I don't even want it anymore! Blaine, at this point, I hate to crush your spirit and your optimism, but it won't be okay! Not right away anyway!"

Blaine looked at his boyfriend shocked. He was almost speechless. He didn't care if this was mostly hormones, this was totally unwarranted. "You don't think I know what it's like? Seriously, Kurt? God, I thought you knew me. Have you totally forgotten that I got beat up when I was 14? To the point where I had to go to the hospital? That wasn't the only thing that pushed me to Dalton. I got bullied too, you know. I thought that was something that was the same between us. I thought we understood what each other went through. I guess I was wrong. You think your life was so hard? Try having parents that don't understand you, let alone act like they accept you! At least your dad was supportive! Mine called me a fag! Mine only acted like he cared when I got beat up, when I was getting bullied. Only getting beat up to the point where I had to go to the E.R. jolted him enough to realize maybe something was wrong that prompted a transfer! When you have to go through bullying both at school and home, then you can talk to me! I thought you understood Kurt. I thought you really did! I guess you don't discover how bitchy and haughty someone is until you have kids with them." Blaine stood up and made his way to the bathroom door.

"Wait, Blaine, where're you going?" Kurt was starting to cry, and he made to grab for Blaine, but the curly-haired boy dodged the grip.

"I don't know Kurt, but I'm leaving. I just need to get away." Blaine opened the door and stepped out.

Kurt grabbed his pants leg. "Blaine, you said you wouldn't leave. You said you would be here for me. I need you!" He was openly crying.

"No Kurt, I think you can handle this on your own. As you said, obviously I don't get it!" He shook Kurt's hand off and stormed out of the bathroom.

"Blaine, wait, please! Blaine, I didn't mean—" Kurt tried to get his attention, but Blaine had already slammed the door. Kurt sat on the floor in shock, staring at the bathroom door. He could hear the footsteps down the stairs and the front door being slammed. He sat there for a moment, still in shock, but he curled up on himself, bringing his knees to his chest and crying. The one thing that he needed had just walked out the door. He had said that he was never going to leave him, that he was going to be there for him and he had just walked out in front of him. It was even more horrible than being called anything, than any slushie being thrown in your face, then being pushed up against any locker. It broke his heart.

He heard the door opening and looked up hopefully. But when he looked up, it wasn't Blaine there, it was Finn. The tall teen stood there quietly. "Kurt…where is Blaine going?"

Kurt looked up at him with wide eyes, tears still streaming down his face. "I don't know."


Me: Bullying, cyber and situational, singing, pizza, big brothers, proposals, and fights, and a nice Karofksy! Ooooh, I wonder what will happen next?

Kurt: … *pouts* Why? I thought you loved us!

Blaine: Kurt, Kurt, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I love you, I love you so much!

Me: I know…it's sad, isn't it. *cries* I know, some of you are probably angry, worried, bitter anything. I hope nobody stops reading because of this chapter, because I tell you, it's not permanent! It will be resolved next chapter! I swear! It's an important plot point, I swear! There's so much happening next chapter that this was necessary, but I'm serious! I hate making Blaine act like this but, and I know it seems permanent, but SERIOUSLY – IT WILL BE RESOLVED NEXT CHAPTER AND FROM THEN ON THERE WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ANYMORE FIGHTS OR STORMING OUT! I SWEAR!

Kurt:*death glare* Unless you're in an evil mood.

Me: Yeah, that's probably true...Or unless it's necessary to the plot. You know. ;)

Blaine: *cries*

Me: You know, I hope everyone reading this knows there will be a little angst here and there. I don't necessarily like torturing them, in fact I prefer fluff —

Kurt: Than why don't you keep it that way? We all prefer that!

Me: It's not realistic. There's going to be fights and drama, as much as I want to believe you two are perfect, it's just not realistic in this situation. Also, I had a question about the whole 'where does this story fit in reference to the show' thing. In case anyone else is wondering, here you go: Basically, just make Kurt a year younger so he's the same age as Blaine, and have everything up until I Am Unicorn happen. Besides that, Karofsky is nice to Kurt and Blaine, but I honestly think that happened around Prom Queen in season 2, and there might be some reference to other season 3 occurings, but not many. And besides that, the AU part is the same age thing, the Mpreg and so on. And yes, I did add Cooper, but that's just because I already love him so freaking much! So yeah, there's your answer! :)8

Santana: You made me a bitch.

Me: You kind of are a bitch.

Santana: That's true.

Kurt: Blainey, why did you leave?

Blaine: I didn't want to! She forced me!

Me: Oh pffft, you guys will be all patched up next chapter. Don't even start with me! Anyway, dear readers, I hope you don't hate me for the angst and making Blaine a little bit of a jerk (although in my mind, Kurt was a little hormonal and gave as good as he got) and you'll hang on to the next chapter, because I PROMISE – something big will happen next chapter that will play into the fight and it will be worth it and they will make up! Review and let me know what you thought! I just got to say I love all kind words, whether they're anonymous or you're signed in, or anything. They really inspire me and I want to work to make sure that you love this, and you definitely keep me going, and I definitely appreciate you being so patient with my hectic school schedule, sickness, and anything going on in my life that inhibits my progress in writing, despite the ideas that run through my head constantly. I hope you'll excuse any mistakes here, I'm so tired right now, and I honestly appreciate all of you. Love you!
