Blaine couldn't bare to talk about it anymore. He put his face in his hands and sobbed in earnest. The emotional pain was finally setting in, and it hurt.
Kurt stared down at his boyfriend, unable to speak. Carole was comforting him like he was her own child.
" There has to be some sort of law against this kind of thing." Burt mumbled, shaking his head.
" Why would they even do that to him...?" Finn said, having brought the clothes for Blaine and sat on the opposite couch.
" Lord knows... Blaine, sweetie, it's ok now. Shhhhh, it's alright." Carole soothed Blaine and rubbed his back.
Kurt finally came to his senses and wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist, pulling him up and holding him close in a hug. Carole let him take over and got up from the couch, muttering about bad parents under her breath as she walked into the kitchen.
Kurt stroked Blaine curly hair and occasionally planted a light kiss to the large bruise on Blaine's face. He tried to comfort him verbally, but Kurt realized that words weren't needed right now. Blaine cried and cried, and soon Kurt was crying too. He couldn't understand why someone would be so cruel to Blaine after simply saying that he loved someone. Silent tears ran down his face.
' It's not fair. Its not fair at all...'
The moisture from Blaine's wet clothing seeped into Kurt's thin satin pajama shirt, which made him shiver. Kurt wiped his eyes on his sleeve and put his mouth to Blaine's ear.
" Blaine. Baby, I need you to calm down for a second, ok? You need to get out of these wet clothes."
It took him a good five minutes, but Blaine's sobs were finally reduced to whimpers. Kurt grasped his arms and pulled him up off of the couch. He took the tee shirt and sweat pants from Finn and led Blaine upstairs to his room. Kurt closed the door behind him and handed Blaine the clothes.
" Go change, ok? I'll be right outside" he gave Blaine a kiss on the forehead.
Blaine walked to the bathroom and quietly closed the door. Kurt could still hear him sniffling and occasionally letting out a broken sob, which made Kurt's heart break even more than it already was, because he knew that Blaine was looking at the bruise on his face. If Kurt ever saw Stuart Anderson again...
" Kurt?" Blaine said from the open bathroom door.
Kurt came out of his fantasy of punching Stuart Anderson square in the jaw to see Blaine in an oversized blue tee shirt ( Finn's, no less) and dark gray sweat pants that were nearly too long for him. Kurt couldn't help but smile a little.
" What?" Blaine asked.
" Oh, nothing. You're just cute." Kurt said and stood up to hug Blaine again.
They stood like that for a long time, just holding each other. Blaine clutched onto Kurt tightly, still shaking a bit.
" What did I do, Kurt?" Blaine said. He sounded close to tears.
" What do you mean?"
" What did I do t-to make them h- hate me so much?" the words tumbled out of Blaine's mouth and he chocked back a sob.
Kurt bit his bottom lip, unsure of how to answer him. He tipped up Blaine's face with his finger so he could look into his eyes. The golden hazel had hurt and sadness and question written all over them.
" You didn't do anything. They just can't see how wonderful you are." tears tumbled out of Blaine's eyes as Kurt said these words to him. " They just can't see that I love you more than anything else in the world."
Blaine cried into Kurt's shirt. Kurt gently shushed him even though he was crying too.
" It's ok, baby... We're gonna be ok." Kurt whispered though his tears.
But was it true?
Kurt wanted to believe so. He needed to believe so. Hell, he would make it ok for Blaine. He would make it ok for both of them.
That was a promise he intended to keep.
I need to stop putting Blainers though so much crap... I'm such a jerrrrrrkkkkkk.
This story is nearing its end ( because Glee comes back on Tuesday). I like to be as authentic as possible with my glee fics :))) but don't fret! This has about two more chapters that should wrap everything up.
Love,
Kat
