Chapter 11: Nightmares

Kurt was settling into Dalton well. The month that he had been there, he had made friends with all the Warbler's and got on particularly well with Nick and Jeff. He and Blaine had been dubbed the cutest soul mates at Dalton and both Jeff and Nick didn't seem to mind giving up there title for the two of them.

They were taking their relationship slow, knowing that there was no need to rush at all. They studied together and did their homework. They practiced singing and watched movies while looking at vogue magazine. They shared stolen kisses and held hands around the campus. It still amazed Kurt how nobody seemed to mind about the two of them and nobody gave them any grief for being who they are.

Kurt's friendship with Mercedes was going strong and it seemed that it wasn't going to end any time soon which they were both grateful for. She continued to fill him on the drama that was going on there and it seemed that he had left at a good time. The footballers had been forced to join glee club, something Kurt shuddered at.

"Do you want to come to the McKinley football game with me?" Kurt asked Blaine. He looked up from where he had been reading a book for English. The two were outside, enjoying the sun and the question had come out of nowhere.

"You want to watch Football?" Blaine asked and Kurt chuckled.

"Finn is playing and they made it to the finals or whatever," Kurt waved a hand, claiming it wasn't important. "Any way, he wants me to come watch and I thought if you came you could explain to me what was happening while I wear a fabulous scarf."

"I'd love to," Blaine beamed, chuckling slightly.

"Good," Kurt breathed. "New Directions are also doing a half time show which should be interesting."

"How is going with the football players?" Blaine asked and Kurt shrugged.

"My guess not good," Kurt told him. "They hate the glee kids and are not afraid to make it known."

Blaine frowned and sighed at this. He hated that some people were so stupid and how there was so many ignorant people out there.

"Any way, it's an excuse for me to be able to wear my new scarf," Kurt continued, oblivious to Blaine's inner struggle and Blaine smiled at him, happy to let him talk away about fashion. He missed how Kurt gently touched his own wrist with concern and give him a brief look of surprise.

It was cold out on the stands but Blaine was excited. He huddled next to Kurt, seeking any warmth and Kurt smiled at him gently. Burt and Carole sat beside them, watching the field with bright smiles, looking for Finn who was easily spotted as he stood taller than everyone.

Blaine desperately wanted to wrap an arm around Kurt or even to hold his hand but he couldn't and the thought made him devastated.

"Don't be sad," Kurt said in his ear, breaking his thoughts. Blaine looked to him surprised. "I can sort of feel that you are sad and it's written all over your face."

"I didn't know you could feel my emotions," Blaine blinked.

"Only recently," Kurt admitted. "and only a little. What are you sad about."

"That I can't hold your hand or put my arm around you," Blaine told him truthfully and Kurt's cheek went pink with pleasure.

"Oh. Well, if you could, it would be well received by me," Kurt informed and Blaine chuckled.

"Good to know."

"Half time guys," Burt called over to them and they all looked to the field as New Directions filed on the field.

Off with your head!

The music started up and their eyes widened. It seemed that they had gone all out and it was mighty impressive. Kurt watched as the footballers joined with them which made Kurt blink with surprise. It was highly unlikely that anything would change between them but it was amazing to see them working together.

"Wow, they're good," Blaine murmured in his ear and Kurt nodded. He would have loved to be a part of it but knew he couldn't be, not with the footballers there and no longer being in their glee club. They were good though and everyone seemed to get into it happily.

They won the game and they headed home in high spirits. Blaine was staying the night (on the couch of course, per Burt's strict instructions. "You may be soul mates but you're not sharing a bed.")

Kurt had set up the couch for Blaine, giving him a sweet kiss goodnight before heading up to his own room to get ready for bed. He was finishing his nightly routine when Finn knocked on the door.

"Hey dude," Finn greeted, perching himself on the edge of the bed.

Kurt rolled his eyes at the name but said nothing. "Hello Finn. Well done tonight."

"Thanks," Finn beamed. "Thanks for coming too."

"You're welcome. Blaine and I had fun," Kurt smiled and Finn nodded. "I was surprised that the footballers joined you," Kurt continued. "I assume nothing has changed though?"

"Yeah," Finn sighed sadly. "I thought they were you know. I had a talk with Karofsky too. I was going to bring him to Dalton so he could apologize."

Kurt froze and stared at Finn. "You were going to take him to Dalton?"

"Yeah. We really talked and I thought..." Fin trailed off when he saw Kurt's face.

"Finn! I can't believe you would do that," Kurt hissed. "I moved to Dalton to get away from him!"

"I just thought if you sorted it out you could come back," Finn said meekly.

"Karofsky," Kurt growled. "Was not the only one who tormented me day in day out. I'm not going back to McKinley Finn, not ever."

Finn ducked his head, feeling guilty and sad about this. He cleared his throat and looked back at Kurt was looking frustrated.

"Sorry," Finn said. "I really I am. I thought it would help but I guess not. Sorry."

Kurt sighed heavily, his body slumping in his chair. "This isn't something you can fix with an apology Finn."

They were both silent for a while before Kurt stood, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm tired. Good night Finn."

For once Finn picked up on a social cue and stood up, leaving Kurt alone. Kurt closed his door with a gentle click and sighed. He turned off his light and made his way to his bed, crawling up it and snuggled under the covers.

Kurt could hear his own breathing in his ears, his heart pounding hard in his chest. He looked down the Dalton halls which were empty. The silence was deafening and Kurt whimpered, looking around widely.

"I will kill you," Karofsky snarled, his voice echoing around. Kurt whirled around but there was nobody was there. A locker door slammed in the back ground and Kurt flinched violently.

Kurt started running, the hallway seeming to go on forever and ever. Kurt ran hard but he felt like he was getting nowhere. The threat kept echoing around him, getting louder and louder. Kurt whirled around and Karofsky was there, looming over him. He his breath caught in his throat, feeling as if he had been punched in the stoamch and a scream filled the silence.

Kurt jolted awake, a scream still echoing in his ear. It took him a moment to realise that he was the one screaming. He clamped his hands over his mouth to muffle the sound but couldn't stop.

The door burst open, the light coming on. Kurt flinched back, toppling off the bed and landed awkwardly on his back.

"Kurt!" Blaine yelped and was by his side in an instant. Kurt scrambled upright and leant into Blaine heavily, his whole body shivering and him gasping for breath. Burt hovered over them while Carol and Finn lingered in the doorway. They were all ruffled by sleep but Kurt's scream had jolted enough adrenalin in them to be concerned and awake.

"You're safe Kurt," Blaine whispered in Kurt's ear, rubbing his back soothingly. Logically Kurt knew this but the dream had terrified him and he whimpered, snuggling closer into Blaine's chest.

"What happened?" Burt asked gently.

"Bad dream," Kurt gasped, struggling to get his breathing to calm down. He felt sick with fear and Blaine held him tighter, leaning against the edge of the bed. Carol turned to Finn and ushered him away, knowing that Kurt would be embarrassed by everyone hearing him.

"I'll be back with some water," Burt said quietly and Blaine nodded. Burt left the room and Blaine gently kissed his temple, smoothing his hair.

"I've got you Kurt," Blaine whispered softly in his ear. "You're safe."

"It was him," Kurt choked out. "He was at Dalton."

"He can't get you," Blaine promised firmly. "I won't let him."

"Don't leave me," Kurt whispered and Blaine kissed his temple again.

"I won't," Blaine vowed. "I'm not going anywhere."

Burt came back, approaching them carefully. "Hey buddy, I got you some water."

Kurt lifted his hands weakly and took the glass, sipping it carefully. The water was cool in his mouth and it slid down his parched throat. The screaming had hurt his throat and the water was soothing.

"Thank you," he croaked, handing the water back.

"How you feeling?" Burt asked quietly and Kurt shrugged and Blaine gently rubbed his back, kissing his temple again.

Kurt whimpered and buried himself further in to Blaine's chest. Burt knew he wasn't going to get much out of Kurt tonight and he sighed sadly. He didn't like that the bullying was still effecting Kurt and wish that there was more he could do.

Blaine had woken up in the night with the feeling of pure terror. He bolted up and knew that something was immediately wrong with Kurt. Then he had heard Kurt scream and he was off the couch faster than he thought he could - teh track coach would have been impressed. He never wanted to feel like that again nor did he want Kurt to feel like that.

He tightened his grip on Kurt and buried his face in Kurt's hair, breathing in his scent and knowing that Kurt was safe in his arms and was safe.

I hope that was enough drama to get you through for a bit! Please review and happy reading :)
