Chapter Ten
Okay wasn't as easy as that, as once I rewrote most of it I hated it..so it took a few days to write more. I think this is the last chapter of this story. It was shorter than I planned, I may write something similar to it once most of my other stories are done.
Don't Own Glee.
Kurt and Blaine were holding hands as they walked out of the court house. The two boys got the maximum sentence allowed in Ohio, for that Blaine was relieved. He didn't know their names, he didn't try to learn them, the less he knew about them the better. Things for him were doing well for a change, he now went to a support group for men who were raped. They took to him easily, as he was the youngest one there, he figured they felt sorry for him. He brought Kurt on occasion, when the counselor suggested they bring their "support" person. Blaine was surprised to find not all of them were gay, he knew not just gay men got raped, and a few were raped by women. He found a group of people who he belonged with, who he could relate to. They all showed up for any performance he was in, and they also showed up for his high school graduation. Where he was second in class, and made a speech where he thanked every one of them, and of course Kurt.
But today, as they walked out of the courthouse and into their car, the world to Blaine felt new again. He would always be a little paranoid about alcohol, and anyone surprising him. But without Kurt, and his mother, he doesn't think he'd be around to see this. Kurt had saved him, brought him back to life. He took away all the memories, the shadows, the fear. There were things that he wasn't sure would ever change, like the whole blow job situation. He didn't think he'd ever be able to do that, for some reason that damaged that act probably for the rest of his life. But Kurt never complained, he didn't care, he loved Blaine with all his heart.
He was there when Blaine confronted Brian, to let him know he wasn't angry anymore, that he was forgiven. He wasn't sure what he would've done had the roles been reversed. He knew he wouldn't have just not said a word, but at that point there wasn't much he could've done, it was already almost over. To be honest he was glad he didn't have a bunch of people rushing in when he was like that, it was bad enough Brian saw him, and the jury saw the pictures. He wasn't sure when the shame went away, he was still ashamed when he thought about it, which Kurt made sure wasn't very often. He said he could tell when he thought about it, as a darkness would come over his eyes, and Kurt would always know what that meant.
They were going to New York at the end of the summer, they were going to leave it all behind, and start over. Blaine couldn't help but look over at Kurt, who smiled at him, and it hit Blaine. This person, this wonderful, compassionate, selfless, loving man loved him. Not just loved him, but accepted him, unconditionally. He knew it before, but looking at him now he saw Kurt no longer as the boy who he loved, but as the man that saved him, the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life repaying. He stopped Kurt, and turned him to look at him.
"I wanted to plan something big and romantic, somewhere beautiful in New York. I wanted to pick out the most perfect ring for you, ask your father-"
Kurt cut him off and pulled something out of his pocket, "me too".
Blaine was speechless, "except I did ask your mom, and I asked my dad for his blessing and he gave it. Blaine I wanted a way to show you I meant what I said. That I was going to be here, through the bad and the good, putting you back together, one beautiful broken piece at a time. That I wanted to spend the rest of my life reminding you how perfect you are, how much in love with you I am, how in love with you I've always been. I want to kiss you everyday, make love to you every single night, until those memories are nothing more than part of your past, and no longer haunt you. I wanted to save you, I wanted to spend the rest of my life saving you over and over".
They were both crying, as were their parents who didn't think this would play out here, that they wouldn't be able to witness it.
Blaine kissed him, pulling back to try and tell him everything he wanted, but he couldn't. All his mouth would utter was, "You did save me, and I want to spend the rest of my life repaying you".
