Chapter 9

Saturday Morning

Waking up in Jeff's arms was strange and wonderful. It was the different than the other times that they'd spend a few hours sleeping together before he had to go home. Kurt couldn't really explain why but when he woke to Jeff snuggled up behind him nibbling on his neck his heart nearly burst with happiness.

"Morning, beautiful."

"Good morning" replied Kurt as he turned around to look at his boyfriend. Smiling he caressed Jeff's face. "I must look terrible. You shouldn't see me in the morning" he laughed.

"Don't be silly. You look amazing as always" replied Jeff moving in for a soft kiss. He started kissing Kurt softly on his face then nuzzled his neck. "What's do you want to do this morning?"

"Besides my skin care routine which I skipped last night?"

"Besides that."

"Hum, well...maybe I need to do somethings about this" Kurt said seductively as he caressed Jeff's erection.

Jeff laughed softly "It's just a morning boner, you don't have to."

"What if I want to?" replied Kurt mischievously.

"Then I wouldn't stop you. If you really wanted to."

With that Kurt slipped under the covers as Jeff rolled over on his back. He knew Jeff liked watching him when he did this but he felt so naughty being under the covers so that added some excitement.

Kurt didn't waste anytime teasing, he just took Jeff in his mouth and deep throated him right away. He was rewarded by Jeff's groan "Oh, fuck Kurt" and then some incoherent noises that might have been more cursing.

He could tell Jeff was getting close when he felt the cold air of the covers coming off. He looked up to see Jeff staring at him eyes blown with lust.

"You look so sexy when you do that. I want to watch." Jeff watched as Kurt continued alternating between licking, sucking, and bobbing up and down. He loved the way he looked while he was doing this. So sexy, hot as he did everything he knew would drive Jeff crazy. He felt his climax building as Kurt started sucking with an impossible skill. Jeff tangled his fingers in Kurt's hair and and whined as he tried to thrust deeper but Kurt had control of him. He cried out as his cum shot down Kurt's throat but Kurt didn't relent. He just drank it up and kept up his attentions until Jeff begged him to stop.

Jeff pulled Kurt on top of him and began kissing him.

"We should get out of bed, my dad and step-mom will be home soon."

Jeff reluctantly let Kurt go.

"I'll make you breakfast before you go" promised Kurt.

Jeff's face lit up. "Breakfast? I'm starving. What are you making?"

"You're always starving. What do you want? Pancakes, french toast, omelet, bacon, crepes?"

"Yes" Jeff said simply with a big grin.

Kurt laughed.

As Kurt flitted around the kitchen making breakfast, Jeff kept distracting him by coming up behind him and snuggling against his ass or kissing on his neck.

"Jeff" Kurt laughed "You are going to make me burn this omelet if you don't stop that."

"That's what you get for cutting my snuggle time short. You know I need my snuggles."

When Jeff tried to sit down he hissed in pain and stood back up for a second before gingerly sitting down again. Kurt race over to him and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend.

"Jeff, I'm so sorry. Is it bad? I'm so sorry, you kept saying harder."

"Maybe you shouldn't have listened to my virgin ass."

"Oh god, of course" answered Kurt.

"Kidding. I'm kidding Kurt. It's OK. I'm going to be reminded of you all week. Every time I sit down in class, I'll be thinking of you and how you completely owned my ass."

Kurt covered Jeff's face with butterfly kisses before returning to his chair to nibble on some fruit.

"Is that all you're having?"

"I can't eat like you. I'm not six feet tall and I'm not running around constantly like you."

Jeff demolished the breakfast Kurt made for him.

"I have lacrosse practice this afternoon. Can we doing something after? Do you want to come over for dinner and family time?"

"How does that work; is it always Saturday night? You've been out the last few weeks so is it just when everyone is available?"

"Usually it's Saturday but it's up to Dad to call it. Sometimes it just completely random and we do it less now that we are are so busy. I'm sure we'll have one tonight though. It's almost always family time if we're all home on a Saturday."

"OK, I'll come over after your practice but I'll have to come home after. I won't be able to stay late tonight."

Saturday Evening

Herrmann House - Dinner

Kurt was beginning to get the hang of following the multi-thread fast paced random statements that passed for conversation among the Herrmann's. He'd even managed to get a few comments in. Mainly because Jeff's siblings still seemed obsessed with teasing Jeff about his gayness.

It was all good natured and a little self deprecating because so many of the jokes were about how they should have known. Kurt found out that Ali had graduated from Crawford Country Day the previous year and Michael was currently imitating her friends who'd apparently been very enamored with Jeff.

"Oh Jeff" he cried in falsetto "you're so dreamy. Why don't you ever look at me!" he continued batting his eyes.

"Dad, Dad" interrupted Morgan "I've been invited to join Ali's sorority at Country Day! Isn't it exciting? I can't wait until fall to start there." Kurt had found out that Morgan adored her sister and wanted to be exactly like her in every way much to Ali's annoyance.

The kids cleaned the table and now Kurt was allowed to help. He supposed he'd moved from guest to cockroach like Nick, who was of course at dinner as well. Kurt was beginning to wonder if the boy actually had parents because as far as he could tell he had dinner with the Herrmanns every night.

After dessert, sure enough Mr. Herrmann called family time.

"So what are the options?" Kurt asked "At our house we play Sorry"

Mrs. Herrmann answered "We have every board game you can imagine but the kids rarely want to play them any more. It can really be anything as long as we can all spend time together. I'm particularly fond of simile."

"No!" groaned all the kids at once.

"How does one play simile?" asked Kurt.

"It really simple and completely lame" answered Ali. "One person starts the simile and the next person has to finish it. For example I say tight as ...then you say..." she gestured to Kurt to fill in the rest.

Kurt felt the heat rising to his face as he blushed furiously because all he could think was tight as Jeff's ass and he was pretty sure that wasn't the right answer. And oh god he needed to stop blushing before they all thought he was a pervert.

"a drum" supplied Austin. "The answer is tight as a drum."

Everyone ignored Kurt's discomfort or maybe they really didn't notice. Then everyone started calling out ideas and some one called "Scene It" which caused Kurt's ears to perk up.

"Scene It? Do you have the classic movie edition? Can I vote for that?"

"You bet we do and that's one of my favorites" answered Mrs. Herrmann. "What do you think honey?"

"You know I never vote, let the kids come to consensus if they can."

That started an all out discussion of the options thrown out so far which Kurt couldn't follow. He really didn't understand how this could lead to consensus - why didn't they just vote?

"Jeff, is it always like this? What happened to the hat of fate?"

"Dad only pulls that out if he thinks we're deadlocked. Morgan, Ali, and Mom are on board with Scene It Classic so its kind of becoming boys against girls now."

"Well, what do you want to do?"

Jeff shrugged "Everything they want to do is so boring. I'll throw my weight in for Scene It for you."

Nick just glared and hissed "Traitor"

They did end up playing Scene It and Kurt impressed everyone with his classic movie knowledge. It was kind of a lopsided game but no one seemed to mind. Eventually family time was over and everyone disappeared leaving Kurt and Jeff snuggled together on the couch with Nick sitting in a chair nearby looking a little sullen.

"Shouldn't you be heading home, Nick?" prompted Kurt. He needed to be heading back to Lima soon and he wanted a little quality alone time with Jeff before he had to go.

"Nope. I was hoping to sleep over. Unless the two of you are going to be getting busy in Jeff's room all night."

Kurt started to make a snide remake about Nick being a little old for a sleepover (despite the fact he still had pajama parties with Mercedes) when Jeff jumped in.

"Kurt needs to head home soon, but Nick you know you can always stay over. You can crash on one of the couches or Michael and Austin's room. Please don't tell me you haven't been because of Kurt."

"Fine, I won't tell you that. I'm going up to your room while the two of you get your mac on down here."

"What was that about?" asked Kurt.

"Nothing that I can really talk to you about."

"Seriously? You're keeping secrets from me?"

"No, I mean not my secrets. It's just not my place to tell you about it. I doubt Nick will either. I'm well aware you guys don't like each other but you both need to get over it. You're my boyfriend and I love you. Nick's my best friend and practically my brother so you need to just accept him the same way you accept Ali, Morgan, Michael, and Austin."

"They don't follow you around everywhere you go."

"You don't understand so I forgive you for what you're saying. He needs to know he can stay here no matter what's going on with us."

"Why? Why does he eat dinner here every night? Why do you drive him to and from school everyday? Why does he need to sleep here when he lives across the street?"

"Fine, he's going to be pissed that I'm telling you. Everyone pretty much pretends they don't know. He doesn't want to be treated with pity like a charity case but of course he knows we know. No one ever talks about it. Everyone just pretends that everything is normal. His father died ten years ago and his mother is a drunk. His step father - well, the less said the better. His trust fund pays for Dalton directly and the house is paid for but his mother spends all the money she gets to support him on alcohol. He stays here whenever she's on a really bad bender. I think he's been going home when he normally would have stayed because..."

"Because I'm in your bed. Damn. How could I have known? I feel like such a heel. So your parent's really have adopted him in a way."

"Pretty much."

"I should go."

"Not yet, please? At least stay for some goodnight kisses?"

They kissed until Kurt dragged himself away reluctantly with the promise that they'd see each other on Wednesday when he'd come up to Westerville for Jeff's next lacrosse game.

"I hate this" pouted Jeff.

"Me, too"

Thursday - McKinley High

Maybe it was because he'd been back nearly two weeks without any incidents. Maybe it was the months he'd spent at Dalton that made him complacent. Or perhaps it was the constant assurance that he'd given Jeff that he'd be fine. Maybe there wasn't any reason other than it's simply impossible to be paranoid all the time.

Kurt stood at his locker alone - he'd forgotten his history text and had run back to get it at the last minute. The bell rang and the hall began to empty as he closed his locker and turned to rush to his class.

There he was. Karofsky. Kurt didn't say anything as his heart began to pound. It will be over soon he thought. He'll slam me then I'll dust myself off and get to class. Nothing he hadn't survived a million times. His mouth was dry and he couldn't swallow.

He braced himself as Karofsky moved in closer. The big football player did push him into the locker but not nearly so hard as he'd expected then he was so close. Too close. Putting his hands on Kurt's shoulders, he held held the smaller boy in place.

"Kurt" Kurt since when did he call me Kurt? "I've missed you so much. You came back to me but why have you been avoiding me?" Then Karofsky's beefy hands were groping Kurt, his face so close that Kurt thought he was going to kiss him again and Kurt wanted to throw up. He pressed up against the smaller boy literally rubbing on him and he had a hard-on. Kurt was terrified and disgusted. Oh god how am I going to get away from him?

He tried pushing the football player but it was like pushing a brick wall. He looked around but there was no one. The hall was deserted.

"Someone will see us" he squeaked out.

Karofsky backed up and looked around in terror.

"Meet me in the locker room" the football player demanded before turning and hurrying down the hall.

Kurt fled in the opposite direction and ran into the girls bathroom. He was going on instinct for the moment. The girls bathroom had always been his safe haven because boys never followed him here. He ran into a stall and vomited. He sat on the floor trying to figure out what to do but that just made him vomit again. He tried to hold back the tears but he couldn't. He was sobbing when he dragged his phone out and hit the speed dial. But he didn't use the custom button to call one of the glee kids; he called Jeff. He really didn't decide to, he just did.

"Jeff" he sobbed when his boyfriend picked up on the first ring.

"What's wrong?"

"Karofsky...I ... Please come get me."

"Are you hurt? Have you called for help? I'm already on my way to the car but it will take me 45 minutes to get there. Where are you?"

"I'm hiding in the girls bathroom. I don't know if he'll come looking for me but I'm alone."

"I'm going to try to call Mercedes. I'm not hanging up on you OK? I'm just going to try to get her on the line so she can come and get you." Jeff tried but no answer.

"Everyone is in class, they're supposed to silence phones in class" Kurt explained surprising himself with the coherence he was able to manage.

"I can't leave you alone that long. Do you think it's safe where you are? What happened. Did he hit you? Hurt you?"

Kurt sobbed unable to answer.

"Talk to me, please what's happening? I'm on the road. I promise I'll be there as soon as I can but I have to make sure your safe until I get there."

"He touched me" Kurt managed to strangle out before dropping the phone and throwing up again. There was nothing left to come out but his stomach insisted on trying.

"Kurt? Kurt?" Jeff was driving at top speed of 125 hoping that he could make 88 miles without being spotted by a cop. But there was no way he was going to take the usual 90 minutes by driving the speed limit. Kurt was obviously in bad shape and where the fuck were his so called friends?

Kurt picked up the phone.

"Sorry, I had to throw up." he said sounding a little calmer. "I'm OK, Jeff. I'm sorry I worried you. It's no big deal. I'll just walk to my car and go home. I was just shaken up because he pushed me but really it's OK."

"Don't lie to me, please Kurt. I know it's more. Please don't leave your safe spot until I get someone to come with you. Oh god, I'm an idiot. I've been focusing on your so called friends when I should have called someone else entirely."

"Not my dad. Please don't. I can't worry him about these things."

"No, not him. Just hang on while I get you some help. Please."

Jeff made the call.

"You're go for Sue."

"This is Kurt Hummel's boyfriend, Jeff."

"What do you want canary?"

"Kurt's in the girl's bathroom hiding from Karofsky and you need to go get him, please."

"Which girl's bathroom?"

"Hang on."

"Kurt, which bathroom are you in?"

"Um, near my locker."

"Ms. Sylvester? He's in the one by his locker."

"How the hell would I know where Porcelain's locker is? I don't pay attention to those sorts of things"

"Oh, near room 101."

"OK, I'm on my way."

"Kurt, are you there?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling pretty silly now. Really, I shouldn't have bothered you."

"Kurt you were vomiting and crying. I don't know what he did but it wasn't nothing."

"Porcelain? Get out here, you're coming to my office. Now."

"Coach Sylvester is here. I'm going to hang up now."

"Coach Sylvester, what are you doing in here?"

"I should be asking you that. What's going on?"

"Nothing, I just needed to fix my hair and I lost track of time."

"Well, you should fix your face, you look like you've been crying."

"Allergies. I'm allergic to..."

"Bullies? Like Karofsky? Come on, you're coming to my office. It's fine if you don't talk but you're coming with me now."

Kurt sat silently in Coach Sylvester's office, steadfastly refusing to answer her questions.

"Did he hit you? Are there any bruises? Proof of anything at all? Did anyone see anything? Help me out, kid, I can't get him expelled unless I know what he did."

"It was just a little locker shove. Not even as bad as it got before I left. I just panicked. I've been away so long that I'd forgotten. It's no big deal."

Forty-five minutes after Kurt's call, Jeff pulled into a visitor spot and made his way to Sue Sylvester's office. By the time he got there, the bell rang and kids were streaming through the halls again.

"Kurt, I'm here" called Jeff from the door of Sue's office. Then Kurt was in his arms handing on for dear life. "What happened what did he do?"

"Just take me home with you, please. I have to get out of here."

"It's OK, we're leaving. Thank you Ms. Sylvester"

"Just get out of here, your whining is annoying me."

On the way to Jeff's car, they ran into Mercedes and Artie.

"Can one of you walk with Kurt to my car? And does anyone know where Karofsky is?"

"What happened?" asked Mercedes. "Kurt are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I just need to get out of here for now."

"I know where Karofsky might be. Did he do something to Kurt?" asked Artie.

"Yes" answered Jeff at the same time Kurt said "No."

Just then Tina arrived.

"What going on? And why is there a Warbler here?"

"Can one of you please take me to Karofsky?"

"Why?" asked Tina.

"Because he did something to Kurt" replied Jeff.

Tina dialed Mike and asked him if he know where Karofsky was.

"Yeah, he's right here. I'm in the weight room and he's over there. What's going on?"

"Something happened to Kurt and Karofsky is behind it. I'll talk to you in a minute."

"Mercedes, please go and take Kurt."

"No, don't do anything stupid, Jeff" begged Kurt.

Jeff took Kurt in his arms again. "I promise, nothing stupid. Please just go. I'll be there soon."

Mercedes dragged Kurt off.

By the time Jeff and Tina had arrived to the weight room, Mike had rounded up Finn, Puck, and Sam and they were standing facing Karofsky, Azimio, and several other non glee jocks. There was yelling going on between the two sides but Jeff couldn't really tell who was saying what.

Jeff kept hearing Kurt's voice 'He touched me' and based on the way he was sobbing and throwing up that could only be taken one way. He walked right past Mike, Finn, Puck, and Sam, ignoring whatever they were saying. This was the part where the action hero and the villain were supposed to stand and taunt each other. The hero was supposed to say something snarky as they circled before the fight. Jeff fucking hated that part. He skipped it all together and put Karofsky on the floor face down before anyone really registered that he was there. He hadn't come to talk after all.

Jeff kept his knee pressed against the football player's kidney as he twisted his right arm painfully behind his back. Karofsky's left arm was pinned under his body and he couldn't seem to struggle to get it free. Jeff pushed his face into the floor with his other hand.

"Listen to me carefully you sweaty fat disgusting waste of a human life. You will never touch my boyfriend again. Just to be clear, Kurt Hummel is my boyfriend." Jeff twisted the boy's arm harder to make his point. He didn't relent when Karofsky cried out in pain. His friends just stood by doing nothing. Jeff had really hoped that would be the case but he couldn't be sure. He leaned in close to Karofsky to give him the message that was for his ear only. "You touch him again and I will kill you. No one will miss you, no one will even care, they won't even notice you're gone." Jeff stood up still hanging on to Karofsky's arm he put his foot on the boy's back before he could move.

"Now say it. I will never touch Kurt Hummel again. Say it."

Karofsky mumbled something.

"I can't hear you."

"I won't touch him again."

"I still can't hear you."

"I won't touch him again" he repeated.

"Louder, everyone didn't hear you."

"I won't touch Kurt again" he screamed practically sobbing.

Jeff gave one more yank on the football player's arm causing it to dislocate and the boy scream in agony. It was painful but Jeff knew it was easily fixed leaving no permanent damage. He let go of Karofsky. He looked up to see Kurt standing in front of the circle of spectators.

He wasn't supposed to see that.

He went over to Kurt ignoring everything that was going on in the was shouting and rushing to Karofsky's aid but he didn't notice.

"Kurt, are you OK?" he asked softly as he took the smaller boy in his arms.

"Take me home" he replied simply.

Jeff wasn't sure if Kurt meant Jeff's home or his own but he didn't ask on the journey to the car. They hurried because, well any minute a teacher or the principle or someone was bound to get involved and Jeff was pretty sure he was going to be in big trouble.

When they got to Jeff's car, he just held Kurt as the boy shook.

"What happened, Kurt? Please tell me even if you can't tell anyone else. It's OK now."

"He pushed me" Kurt started hesitantly "but not like before. He put his hands all over me and ..." he stopped unable to explain the rest.

"You don't have to say anything else. We'll get him expelled somehow."

"How? No one saw. There's no evidence."

"We need to get you out of here, now." Jeff said as he got Kurt into the car. "Where do you want to go?" he asked as they started driving out of the parking lot.

"My place"

The Hummel - Hudson House

Jeff sat on the couch stroking Kurt's hair. The boy was curled up, head in his lap. Neither of them talking. What was there to say? Kurt, you shouldn't have gone back to McKinley? Jeff, you dislocated a guy's shoulder and will probably be facing assault charges?

Jeff took out his phone and dial his father.

"Jeff, what's wrong? Why are you calling me at work in the middle of the day?"

"I'm in trouble. Or at least I think I am. You might be getting a call from someone at McKinley and I might need a lawyer."

"Oh my God Jeff, what did you do?"

"I explain it all to you later. I'm at Kurt's house and I really don't want to leave him now. I just wanted to warn you because I hurt someone who hurt Kurt but that might not be the way anyone else sees it."

"OK, everything will be OK. I'll call someone and have him ready to meet us if it comes to that. If anything happens just keep reminding them that you're a minor and you have a right to have your parents present. Absolutely do not say anything else. Don't admit to anything and don't explain anything. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I know."

After they hung up, Jeff and Kurt sat silently.

A/N : Yes, I'm going to leave you with a cliff hanger. So if you want more you have to review! Cue evil laugh.
