NEW DIRECTIONS

The New Directions all filed in, shocked to find some Warblers there.

"Well that explains the extra cars, but not why you are all here. Didn't you have school today?" Santana says with a glare at the boys.

"Tana are we going to Hogwarts?" Brittany whispered. Some snickered before Santana Glared at them yet again.

"No Britt, I think they are here to see Lady Hummel." She said causing the Warblers to give her dirty looks.

Noticing this Noah stepped in. "Boys don't worry, She doesn't mean anything by it. It kind of is like how I call him Princess. We all care a lot for him. He knows this and has accepted the names" He said seriously. "Besides we have some matters to discuss and Can't do that if you are fighting. Everyone park it, We are going to be here awhile. Head Preppy, you want to take over?" Noah asked Wes

Wes nodded with a sad smile. "OK first off it is good to see you all again, I just wish it was under better circumstances. As I am sure most of you know Kurt came to Dalton this weekend for a visit. Now I don't know if you noticed anything different with Kurt recently. But from our conversations with him we knew something was wrong. Now I know what I am about to tell you will upset you. His dad and Carole know, due to me calling them to Dalton to tell them. Anyway because of what Kurt told us we in turn told his parents. Kurt, Will be joining us at Dalton for the remainder of the school year.

There was chaos throughout the room.

"But we just got our dolphin back, why would he leave us again." Brittany said sadly.

Noah went over and knelt in front of her. "Britt, Do you want Kurt to be safe?" He asked softly

She sniffled and nodded her head yes."Well Britt that is why he is going to Dalton. He is not safe here anymore." He said pulling her into a hug. He knew it would be hard on Brittany , she loved her Dolphin so much.

"You don't only mean McKinley, Do you Puck?" MIke asked in concern

Noah got up shaking his head sadly. " NO I mean Lima, His own home isn't safe anymore." He said softly rubbing his head in frustration.

"Who is hurting my Boo. " Mercedes asked angrily.

"First off we all have to remember, Burt is taking care of things. You all have to promise not to retaliate." Wes said seriously

All nodded in agreement, they had a feeling it was bad if they were made to promise such a thing. "OK, Now please let me tell you all I know, before you say anything. This is hard enough and it will be the second time I have had to do this the first being with Kurt's parents and believe me that was a scary thing to do. I know you were all present for the bullying in the past. But something happened recently that Kurt has been keeping from everyone. The night before the play, Blaine and Kurt went to a gay bar called Scandals, WIth some friend of Blaine's. According to Kurt Blaine danced the whole time with this other guy, He only ever saw Blaine Drink one. But when they were leaving Blaine tried to force Kurt to be intimate in the back of Kurt's car. Thankfully Kurt was on top or we would probably not be having this discussion. Once Kurt was able to get away from Blaine. Blaine yelled at him calling him names and punched him in the gut before leaving. " Wes said. He waited for a few moments before continuing.

"Because of this Kurt has been avoiding anything intimate with Blaine, Causing Blaine to act out and abuse Kurt. Kurt has bruises all over his back. He is very leery of anyone but Seb touching him at the moment."

Mercedes glanced up. "Wait who is Seb?" She asked in confusion. She knew most of the main Warblers that Kurt had hung out with she didn't recall a Seb in the bunch.

The Warblers all grinned. "He transferred in last week. He's a good guy. He is already very protective of Kurt. " Nick said in amusement.

"Burt is ok with this?" Artie asked in surprise

"OK with what?" They all turned to see Burt walking through the doorway. He stopped in surprise at all the people in his house.

"This new Preppy Sebastian?" Santana asked

Burt smiled. " Yeah I am more then ok. You will see why when you see them together. By the way where are they?" Burt asked glancing around not seeing his son or the new boy.

"Well when we heard a knock, he went downstairs. I had told Rachel that Kurt was here and figured Blaine would be with them. We got rid of him and then filled the other in on what happened." Finn said.

"I will go tell them the coast is clear." Nick said hurrying down the steps.

"So boys how was he this weekend?" Burt asked with concern. He noticed all the sad looks on the Warblers.

"Honestly, Sir Not good he hasn't slept well. He sleeps better when there is more of us. But he is still waking up from the nightmares.

Burt nodded sadly, "Well I hope once he's there all the time things will be better."

Just then they heard footsteps. "Daddy, I missed you." Kurt said softly going to his father and pulling him into a hug nuzzling into his neck inhaling the scent that only his father seemed to have. He relaxed instantly and sighed.

"How are you kiddo?" Burt asked softly, rubbing gentle circles on his sons back. "Sebastian its good to see you again. I hope this isn't all too much for you."He said sincerely , really appreciating what this boy was doing for his son.

"No sir, I will gladly do it. I hope things are well with you." Sebastian said

"Just missing Kurt, But other then that things are good."He said

Some of the Warblers moved to the floor by this time leaving the chair and a spot on the couch open. Burt motioned Sebastian to the chair, while he took up the spot on the couch. At first Kurt was content to sit with his father but after a bit he moved over to sit on Sebastian surprising the New Directions.

"Kurtie, Is this your new Dolphin. "Brittany asked sincerely, much to the amusement of the others in the room.

Kurt blushed burying his head in the crock of Sebastian's shoulder and neck. Sebastian blushed at the comment. He assumed that she meant boyfriend he smiled gently at her and said.

"What is your name?" He said smiling

"Brittany, So are you Kurtie's new dolphin. He needs a new one. His old one hurt him. He wasn't supposed to do that, you don't hurt someone you love. I hope Lord Tubbington does something once he hears about it, He is not going to be happy, We love Kurtie and hate when he is hurt. " She said tears in her eyes.

Sebastian smiled softly at her. "Come here Brittany let me tell you a secret. " He said waving her closer to him. When she was close enough he whispered in her ear. "Do you think Kurt would like me to be his Dolphin?"

She pulled back and looked at him a huge smile crossing her face, She leaned in and whispered. "Yes, He likes you I don't think he ever did what he is doing with you now. You will keep him safe right you won't hurt my Dolphin." she asked seriously

He pulled back and looked her in the eyes. "I Promise Brittany, You have my word I won't do that."

Brittany gave a huge grin, before jumping up and throwing her arms around his neck in a huge hug.

"OK good then welcome to the family Sebby. " She said with a grin settling on the floor by him resting her head on his knee.

The rest of the group watched in astonishment has Brittany pulled Sebastian into a hug and then settled down by him.

"Well I think its safe to say that if Brittany approves then we should do the same. " Santana said with a soft smile she only had for Britt. The rest nodded in agreement. The realized that Britt had never done something like that with Blaine. Maybe she saw something that the rest didn't. But either way for Burt and Brittany to accept Sebastian after such a short time, the others figured they could do the same.

Sebastian was again surprised at what was happening. He knew that this girl cared deeply for his Kurt and that if anyone was going to approve or disapprove of him it would be her. When she pulled him into a hug he was startled. He wasn't expecting that and then to have her sit down by him resting her head on his knee, he was even more shocked. This place was so very different than what he expected. He never expected to find so many friends so quickly and to in turn possibly meet the one he would spend the rest of his life with. It was scaring him how much he thought of Kurt being there down the road.

He glanced up looking at the others in the room surprised at the acceptance they were showing he blushed under their stares. "By the way I am Sebastian Smythe since I am not sure if we had established that yet. I am new to Dalton has of last week. " He said with a smile

"OK Preppy, What exactly are your intentions with my Boo. He has gone through alot lately and doesn't need anymore people hurting him. " Mercedes said seriously Kurt sighed when he heard Mercedes, but didn't say anything he knew it wouldn't do any good, and that she wouldn't rest until she made sure he was safe.

Sebastian looked at her consideringly, "Like I told Burt here. That I will be whatever Kurt wants me to be. I know right now he needs a friend and someone to help him through all this. I will not push or ask for more unless he is ready. That is if he is ever ready. As long as I can be his friend I will be ok with things. I am not saying I don't want more. But we just met and not under the best circumstances. I don't want it to be the same for him as it was before. I want to be sure he has what he needs and feels safe. I have been in a similar situation and I know how it feels to be treated like Kurt has. It is not a fun place to be and very hard thing to handle. I took things in the wrong direction when it happened to me. I tried the whole sex without love and the drinking and building walls to protect my heart. I have never wanted anyone to get close to me like that again.

Kurt ...well he somehow from the moment I met him has crashed those walls. He has made me hope for love and affection again, and these boys here have opened their arms to me accepting me no questions asked. It has been an odd week for me. I am still trying to process all that has happened. But I know at this moment I wouldn't change anything that has happened. I am extremely grateful to my father for making me go to Dalton even though I know the main reason he did was to get rid of his disgrace of a son. But I know with the love of my mom and sisters and the caring of these boys right here I will be ok. " Sebastian said pulling Kurt close to himself ducking his head into Kurt's hair to hide the tears that were threatening to spill. He then felt a soft touch on his head and looking up he saw Mercedes with tears in her eyes. She pulled him into a hug, Squishing Kurt in the process. "Its alright Boo you have us now and We are happy you came to us. We hope things do work out for the best for the two of you. But just know as long as you have the best intentions with Kurt and don't hurt him like midget did then you will always have us. If you need anything don't hesitate to call us ok." She said pulling back looking Sebastian in the eyes "Promise me you will." she whispered.

Sebastian gave a small smile and nodded in agreement. "I Promise, Thank you all so much" He said. He felt Kurt tightening his grip on him, his breathing evening out. "He's asleep" He said softly reaching up to run a hand through Kurt's hair. Causing the smaller boy to lean into his touch with a sigh.

The rest of the New Directions watched as Kurt didn't seem to put up a fight and in fact seemed to enjoy Sebastian playing with his hair. Tina smiled and said "You know the only time he lets us girls do that is when he is feeling bad, You have obviously shown him something that he feels safe enough to let you do that whenever. HIs hair is his pride and joy, He always spends so much time fixing it. You should feel honoured that he lets you do that." She said with a wink.

Sebastian smiled. "So I have heard. Wes, told me he has rarely seen Kurt like this. He has been surprising us all with how he has been with the cuddles lately, Don't get me wrong I for sure don't mind. But being told he doesn't do this often and then have him do it with me so much is kind of strange. " He said softly looking down at Kurt who was still snuggled into him.

"So boys do you have everything packed?"Burt asked sadly. He hated to see his boy go, but he knew it would be for the best. He knew Kurt had been happy at Dalton and had missed it.

"Mr. Hummel sir, We have it all packed just need to load it into the cars, which we should do soon. We still have to make it back and unload before curfew. "Wes said regretfully, He loved visiting the Hummels. IT had been a long time since his last visit. He also knew that even though Kurt loved Dalton , He loved his father more and would miss him terribly. It was going to be a tough couple of weeks for Kurt while he got settled in and hopefully he would be able to sleep like he needed to.

"Well lets get the cars loaded. Sebastian do you mind staying here with Kurt and the girls I hate to wake him when he's finally sleeping. " Burt asked has he stood

"No sir its fine, IF you're sure you don't need my help." Sebastian said. He didn't want to appear lazy or anything like that.

Son, You are helping more than you know. So please don't feel like you aren't. He needs you in this way. So just be there for him ok." Burt said giving Sebastian's shoulder a squeeze has he walked past. The Warblers got up and started to haul the boxes out to the cars with the help of the New Direction boys they were able to get it done quickly. Burt ordered Pizza for the bunch of them. Before Kurt and the Warblers had to go back to Dalton.

Sebastian loved the atmosphere and the acceptance of all of these people, He had so much to tell his mom when he talked to her next. He found that Britt was a sweetheart and could understand why Santana was so protective of her. The other New Directions where all interesting in their own way. HE had never seen such an odd assortment of people who seemed to be close. They had told him stories of all things Kurt. He was surprised at all that he had gone through and to remain so strong during all that was just amazing to him.

After all had eating and they had waken Kurt up to get him to eat something. Wes said it was time to head back to Dalton.

"I promise Britt, I will visit as much as I can, you know you can come over to Dalton too. If you feel the need before the weekends. I love you Britt, Be good and don't let Lord Tubbington talk you into doing anything bad ok." Kurt said has he pulled the blonde into a hug. He proceeded to give a hug to all the New Directions even the boys. "Please take care of each other. " He said softly before he went over to Sebastian and grabbed his hand while handing him his keys. Much to the surprise of all in the room. Kurt's car was his baby and didn't let anyone but his dad behind the wheel. They were all seeing more and more that Sebastian was someone special to Kurt.

Burt smiled softly before pulling Kurt into a hug. "You call me every night Kiddo. Come home as often as you want and you boys all know you are welcome here whenever. "Burt said looking at the Warblers. " He then proceeded to pull Sebastian into a hug. "Son you take care of yourself too, I know you want to be there for Kurt but you need to make sure you stay healthy as well. I expect to see you with Kurt on the weekends, OK."

"I will sir, Thank you so much, if its ok I would like to bring my mom and sisters around soon to meet you. " Sebastian said softly.

"They are more than welcome here. I would love to meet the women who raised such an amazing young man. " Burt said with a smile.

He followed the boys to the door and watched as they all got in their cars to leave. He waved until he couldn't see them anymore, With a sigh he headed back into the house. It never was the same when Kurt wasn't around, But he knew he had to do this in order for his son to be safe. He put a smile on for the New Directions and sat down to catch up with them.
