I don't own Glee.

Stockholm Syndrome Chapter 9: How Long Before I'm Just A Memory?

February (2 months ago)

The glee club seemed to be on a permanent high and everyone was excited. They were going to Regionals and Rachel had instantly began planning song selections. While everyone laughed and joked during class, Kurt withdrew into himself and Puck watched Kurt.

After the argument in the hallway the week before, Puck was afraid to approach Kurt. He was worried that Dave was really going to go overboard if Puck kept it up. The smaller boy seemed skinnier, if that was even possible. He responded when someone would talk to him, but the smile Puck longed to see never graced his face lately. He had even turned down a solo when Mr. Shue offered him one. But no one else seemed to notice.

Puck was walking down the hall, trailing behind Dave, Kurt, and Azimo. Dave had his arm around Kurt's waist, his hand gripped tight in Kurt's. He was leaning down, whispering fiercely in his boyfriend's ear and Azimo kept shooting him strange looks. When Dave squeezed Kurt's wrist a little too tight, Azimo froze and looked like he was going to step in before shaking his head and looking the opposite direction.

'He knows,' Puck thought to himself as the trio entered the chemistry class. He sighed before going off to the nurse's office for a nap. All this worrying about Kurt was giving him a headache.

Kurt doesn't know why he does it. He's scared and he's sore and he just wants someplace to sleep where he's going to be safe. So he finds himself standing on Puck's front porch, sheepishly asking the teen if he can come in.

"Are you okay?" Puck asks frantically, looking at Kurt as if he was going to die at any second. Kurt gave him a bashful smile.

"I'm fine, Noah. I'm just really tired. Do…do you think it'd be okay if I just, I don't know, slept here for a little while? I just don't want to go home…Dave normally shows up there."

"Where does he think you are?" Puck asked, leading Kurt to his bedroom.

"Mercedes, working on a glee project. She thinks I'm at Artie's working on something for glee and Artie thinks I'm at my Dad's shop. I've planned this as much as I can, Noah."

"You're sure you're not hurt?" Puck asks and he becomes a bit worried when Kurt hesitates before nodding. "Well then you can sleep in my bed for as long as you need. I'm just going to be over here working on some stuff. I'll keep it down."

Kurt was asleep before his head even hit the pillow. Puck sat on his desk chair, trying to focus on his homework, or Facebook, or what he wanted to do for glee but he always found his attention going back to Kurt. Even in his sleep Kurt looked scared. Puck wondered if he was having nightmares from everything Dave was doing to him or if maybe he was in pain. Sighing, Puck went back to his homework.

After about an hour, Kurt's cell phone started ringing. Puck struggled to recognize the ring town and smiled when he realized it was a Taking Back Sunday song. 'Kurt's always filled with surprises.' The smaller teen jerked awake, scrambling for his phone.

"Dave. Hi," Kurt said into the phone and Puck could tell he was scared. Puck was surprised to be able to hear Dave's voice from clear across the room.

"Where the hell are you, Kurt," the boy growled and Kurt instantly tensed.

"At Mercedes' house! Like I told you!" Kurt squeaked into the phone.

"Oh really? I went to her house, Kurt. She told me you were with Artie practicing. Artie told me you were at your dad's shop. Your dad had no idea where you were. So as I was driving back from the shop to your house, I drove past Puckerman's. And guess who's car is parked outside of his house, Kurt? Funny, it's yours!"

"I-I-I had to work with him for Glee! I promise I'm leaving right now! I'll be home in like ten minutes! I promise it was just glee. Just glee." As Kurt pleaded into the phone he was pulling his shoes on. Giving one last terrified look to Puck, Kurt fled the house and ran for his car. Sighing, Puck dropped to his bed and took in Kurt's smell. He hoped the smaller boy would be okay.

Kurt was on edge. The night after his nap at Puck's house, Dave had been extremely calm. He had cuddled with Kurt and let Kurt pick the movie they watched. They shared some take-out food and joked around with each other. Real couple things.

Even though Dave was being sweet, Kurt was worried. He never knew when his boyfriend would snap. He was walking around on edge, flinching at any sudden moment or sound. His worries were proved that weekend; Valentine's Day.

Dave took Kurt out to dinner and a brisk walk around down town. They smiled as the watched the other couples public displays of affection. Dave even dared to pull Kurt in for a deep kiss; something he never did in public. Just as Kurt was beginning to think this was going to be a normal night, Dave forced him back to the jocks bedroom.

It was like an instant replay. Dave was yanking Kurt's jeans and underwear done and shoving him into the bed. This time, Kurt doesn't put up much of a fight, closing his eyes and whimpering as Dave shoved into him. His body betrays him and he follows Dave into his climax, laying panting next to his boyfriend. The pain is still there, but he loved to smile on his boyfriends face as Dave leans in and kisses him on the forehead.

"You know I love you, right?" Dave asks as he runs his fingertips over Kurt's collar bone. Kurt nods, afraid to open his mouth in case he starts screaming. "I really don't know what would happen if you ever left me. I would kill myself. There's no other way, I would kill myself if you left. You're all I have left, Kurt, the only thing worth living for. Please don't leave me."

As Dave falls asleep, his words ring through Kurt's mind. Although the boy was repeatedly hurting him, Kurt is terrified that Dave would truly kill himself if Kurt left. Vowing to never leave, Kurt burrowed closer into Dave's arms and tries to forget about the rape and abuse as he falls asleep.
