And a little Klaine for the epilogue...

Blaine's eyes blinked as he adjusted the bright lights of the room. Staring up at the white ceiling he wondered where he was, and then he remembered Hunter and the music store cupboard. His fists went to clench to defend himself from the boy, but then he felt something else in his hand. Immediately his grip loosened and he pulled his hands across his chest protectively, hissing at the pain that seared through his body from the quick movement.

"Blaine?" Through the wall of pain Blaine thought he could hear the voice of an angel.

"Kurt?" He tried to reply but the word wouldn't come. Slowly he turned his head to face the sound. Sure enough there was Kurt sitting beside him, smiling.

Doctors came and went, checking Blaine's condition and making notes, but soon the pair were left alone. Kurt took Blaine's hand in both of his and leaned closer to his boyfriend.

"Are you OK?" he began, tears welling up in his eyes. Blaine smiled up at him.

"Of course I am." he smiled.

"I'm so sorry. It's all my fault." Tears began streaming down Kurt's face, and he let go of Blaine's hand, retreating from the bedside. Blaine raised his hand to catch hold of Kurt's wrist and bring him closer.

"None of this is your fault." Blaine replied, wiping the tears from Kurt's face.

"Hunter said-" Kurt cut off as Blaine lifted his head from the pillows and kissed Kurt.

"It doesn't matter what Hunter said." replied Blaine. "All that matters is you're OK." Kurt smiled back.

"Do you-" he paused. "Do you remember much of what happened?" Blaine nodded, looking away from Kurt's concerned eyes. Kurt took hold of Blaine's hand once more and soothed the back of it with his thumb.

"I didn't know who it was at first." Blaine began, his eyes misting over as he recalled the memories. Kurt could see the pain of the experience in his eyes and winced at every blow. As Blaine finished he looked up to see Kurt with tears streaming down his face. Once again he raised his hand, drying off the tears, before pulling Kurt into an embrace. "I'm fine." he comforted. "I'll never let anyone hurt you like that, I promise." And with that he took Kurt's face between his hands and kissed him as if they would never kiss again.


The end. :) Feel free to message me any plot ideas you'd like developing...
