Chapter 10: Break down

Kurt was silent as Blaine drove him home. He was silent as they parked and got out, going into Kurt's apartment. The taller boy scooped up Pavarotti when the bunny hopped to him and cuddled him to his chest. Blaine directed Kurt to the couch and sat down, pulling the pale boy into his lap and holding him close. Kurt sniffed and buried his head in the crook of Blaine neck, still holding Pavarotti close to him.

Blaine rubbed his hands up and down Kurt back, soothing him gently and placed random kisses on his cheeks and temple. Kurt hiccupped and tried to block out the onslaught of emotions flooding his body right now and buried himself tighter into Blaine, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry," Kurt sobbed and sniffed loudly and Blaine shushed him.

"Don't apologize," Blaine murmured. "You have nothing to apologize for."

"Why are you here?" Kurt sobbed, eyes squeezed tightly. "Why do you still want me after everything you know."

"Kurt," Blaine gasped and he gently removed Pavarotti from his grip and lowered him the ground. He cupped Kurt's face and forced him to look at him. "Of course I still want you. Don't ever think that I wouldn't and this isn't going to make me want to leave you Kurt."

"But-" Kurt protested but Blaine cut him off.

"No," he said firmly. "I'm so angry that you were bullied like that Kurt but not at you. At your school, at the staff who were meant to keep you safe. I was bullied too and I was beaten up before my parents moved me to a zero-tolerance bullying school. I'm not leaving you Kurt."

"But I'm damaged," Kurt whispered and it broke Blaine's heart. He didn't want Kurt thinking that he was damaged. That his bully's had drummed into him that he was worthless and that nobody would want him.

"You're not," Blaine croaked out and Kurt watched eyed wide as tears spilt from his boyfriends eyes. "You're not damaged. I love you Kurt. So much."

"You love me?" Kurt hiccupped.

"Of course I do," Blaine cried. "How could I not Kurt. You're amazing and I love you so much."

"I love you too," Kurt sniffed and he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Blaine. He had always imagined what his declaration of love would be to Blaine. None of his scenarios included a very wet kiss after he had blurted out his troubled past.

But it was perfect. Blaine held him tightly against him, pouring everything he had into the kiss.

When they couldn't breathe they pulled away. Blaine wiped away Kurt's tears and rubbed his hand up and down Kurt's back. Blaine licked his lip and took a shaky breath. "I don't know what I would have done if I never met you."

Kurt whimpered and hugged Blaine tightly. Neither knew how long they stayed like this, neither wanting to move. Eventually though Blaine shifted and Kurt looked up, his eyes red and puffy. Gently, Kurt slipped off Blaine and he stood. Blaine frowned, reaching out and making a grabby motion like a small child. Kurt chuckled softly.

"I need to wash my face," Kurt explained, his voice croaky. "and we need to eat."

Blaine nodded and stood, stretching. "How about I ring for a pizza while you wash your face?"

Kurt nodded and padded his way to the bathroom. He washed his face carefully and looked as his reflection in the mirror. His face was blotchy and puffy - hardly the look for 'I love you' but it didn't stop the smile spreading across his face. He dried his face and padded back to the kitchen. Blaine had was just getting off the phone and pulled Kurt close. He said goodbye to the person on the other end and hung up, placing the phone on the counter.

"Should be here in fifteen minutes," Blaine said, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist. "Are you okay?"

Kurt nodded. "Thank you for listening," he thanked quietly. "and for not leaving."

"I'm not leaving you Kurt," Blaine promised. "I love you and I will show you everyday how much I love you."

"I will too," Kurt promised. "I love you so much Blaine."


The pizza was long finished and Kurt had fallen asleep across Blaine's lap, the days emotions catching up with him. It was only mid afternoon but Blaine was exhausted too. Carefully he shifted Kurt into his arms and picked him up, carrying him to the bedroom. He gently laid Kurt down and pulled back the sheets. Kurt crawled under them sleepily and Blaine slipped in after him.

Kurt would be upset that his clothes would be wrinkled but Blaine was happy to pay for dry cleaning. Blaine pulled the covers over them, the curtain already closed. He pulled Kurt safely into his arms and Kurt let out a contended sigh. Blaine watched as Kurt face soothed in his sleep and he was beautiful.

He hated what Kurt had gone through at school. How a boy had threatened his life and Kurt had nearly took his own. This made Blaine shiver and Kurt nuzzled back further into Blaine's arms. The thought made Blaine sick. He never wanted Kurt to feel that way again and he would do everything to make sure that he didn't.


Blaine jolted awake when a sharp pain jolted through his knee. He grunted and frowned when Kurt whimpered in his sleep. Blaine could tell that he was having a bad dream, all those emotions from the day manifesting in his dreams. He was about to wake him but Kurt bolted up, gasping for breath.

"Whoa," Blaine soothed, gently wrapping an arm around Kurt's waist, pressing a kiss to his shoulder. Kurt shuddered and leant back into Blaine, letting his scent wash over him and comfort him. "You dreamt about him threatening you, didn't you?"

"Yes," Kurt whimpered. "I haven't dreamt of …. that moment in a long time." Blaine ran a hand through Kurt's hair and gently pressed a kiss behind his ear. Kurt turned his head and gently placed a small kiss on Blaine's throat. "What time is it?"

Blaine looked around the room and spotted a new clock on the bedside table. "It's just after nine."

Kurt looked down at his lap and frowned at how wrinkled he pants were. He looked back up and turned so that he was facing Blaine. Blaine was looking at his knee though, gently prodding it.

"Are you okay?" Kurt asked and Blaine looked up, startled.

"Oh yeah. Fine. You – uh- accidentally kicked me in your sleep," Blaine told him and Kurt gasped. "Hey, no, don't worry about it."

"I'm sorry," Kurt moaned. He bit his lip before shifting and lowering his head to place a feathery light kiss on his knee cap. Blaine smiled down at him and lifted his chin. Kurt rose and Blaine pulled him into a gentle and loving kiss. Kurt sighed, melting into the kiss. He pushed himself closer to Blaine, cupping his jaw and kissing him deeply.

Blaine moaned, wrapping an arm around his waist and pulling him closer. Kurt ended up in Blaine's lap, angling his head to deepen the kiss. They're breathing grew heavier and they had to pull away to breathe. Kurt trailed his fingers over Blaine's jaw line, looking into his hazel eyes.

"I love you," Kurt breathed and Blaine beamed, kissing him lightly.

"I love you too."

They sat in comfortable silence, content to just stare at each other. Eventually Kurt shifted out of Blaine lap and hopped off the bed. He went to his closet and pulled out some fresh pyjama's. He threw some spare clothes to Blaine, who caught them. Kurt went to the bathroom to change while Blaine quickly changed in the bedroom.

Kurt came out and held out his hand to Blaine who took it. Kurt led him to the living room and sat him on the couch. Kurt hurried to the kitchen and came back with a tub of ice cream, spoons and a packet of red vines. Blaine grinned and bounced when he saw the red vines and Kurt chuckled. Kurt handed the items over and went and put on a DVD for them to watch. They stayed like this for the rest of the night, eventually falling sleep again, Kurt safe in Blaine's arms.
