Kurt is a mixed bag of emotions now. He is happy, comforted, and contented to find someone like Blaine, at the same time, he is afraid of something- of 2 things to be precise.

1. He had already had this kind of feeling on a guy before. He was close to getting abused by him and he cannot risk it again.

2. Blaine is seemingly a straight guy-he has a girlfriend. The second time he fell for Finn-his stepbrother, To think of it now, it's a matter of joke. He didn't have to do that again, Not to ruin his dignity!

Kurt is all confused now by another thought. Why was Blaine holding him like that? friends do not usually hug like that. And why was Blaine muttering his name when he was drunk? Why was Blaine so sober?

'You must be over-exaggerating Kurt, go to sleep. You will find out soon, Kurt calms himself to face his other nemesis- his sleep.

Kurt is now facing so many nightmares of Carson just disappearing like sand aftertouch, the jocks using him as a graffiti wall, and Karofsky raping him. Carole agreed to sleep as comfort for Kurt while dealing with his nightmares. Carole couldn't see Kurt facing so much. She couldn't ask Kurt about it. Kurt is like a son to her, but She knew that she could never replace Elizabeth Hummel. Kurt is a pretty conservative person and asking about his sufferings can taunt him more.

Blaine is crying so heavily, lying on David's shoulder. The truth is oozing out and David doesn't want to stop it.

'I don't deserve to live. I am cheating everybody and myself. I don't want Kurt to get disappointed by me. I can never be like Kurt. What if he hates me cause I Lied?' Blaine keeps on muttering things To David.

David opens his mouth for a piece of wisdom.

'Look, Blaine. I will never judge you for being gay. You are my best friend and that's it. You deserve this world, Blaine: I honestly don't know where I would be if I haven't been your friend. Let me tell you- Kurt is such a nice boy from what I saw. He can never hate you, Blaine, not for hiding something like this. Kurt will be such a good boyfriend for you. Did you come out to anybody else? To kurt?'

Blaine is trying to calm himself and tries to answer his question.' No, Just to you. I wouldn't have told you if you didn't force me. Kurt still thinks of me as straight. Oh no, wait? What if he would have started to doubt me now? Oh my God..'

'Relax Blaine. He knows what it is to be a gay person. He will understand. If he figures it, doesn't matter. He's not gonna out you, he will try to help you.'

David takes that SECRET notebook from his side and starts to flip slowly.

'He is gorgeous, Blaine. He is. Just like the way I saw him at the sectionals.' Blaine blushes turning, to David.

'Hey, I'm gonna steal your boyfriend, he's all yours. Are you gonna come out to the warblers?'

Blaine answers in panic,' No, not now. Promise me that you won't tell this anyone.

David looks with his concerned eyes-' I won't, don't worry. But I suggest you confess it to Kurt. He can help you. Blaine thinks of it. Kurt can indeed help him. But that means confessing his love to Kurt. Will he take this matter badly? Will this hurt their existing friendship? Blaine doesn't want that, he just wants Kurt to be in his life.

'Hey, I got you! We are going to figure this thing to work out. Fine? And yeah, this will be a secret till you open', David keeps hand on Blaine's as a gesture of promise.

Blaine feels quite relaxed now; he feels like a little burden off his shoulders. And thus his routine starts from the afternoon, not knowing that his sleep is waiting to surprise him.

Blaine finds himself in a white space-completely white: the floor, walls, and literally everything is white, including his shirt and pants. Blaine keeps scanning around to figure out what is going on. And, suddenly, he notices the space around him colouring itself. His shirt and pants are changing into a neat tuxedo with a black bowtie. He is witnessing a beautiful background transition around him. It is familiar- A woods setting, a familiar forest, like his camp. And there is the familiar Oak tree behind which he is standing. He keeps his hand, sliding on the bark till his hand reaches the other side. The bark is rough that it pricks the soft side of his hand. Just to his surprise, A soft skin touches his hand.

Blaine tries to extend and catch hold of the person, but nope. All Blaine can hear is the rustling sound of the leaves, a sign of somebody walking. Blaine curiously walks further, looking around- designed lanterns are hanging from the trees, a beautiful sight in Twilight.

As Blaine walks hearing the rustles, he also hears the familiar tune- except for this time, he knew what he hears.

A beautiful voice is singing this song, which Blaine can clearly hear as he walks on a progressively defined pathway. Blaine reaches the edge of the woods; just one step and he will be in a different place- A place where Autumn has done its magic trick around the bench. A figure is sitting near a black lamp -post. Blaine can't see the face obviously. But, the signing is clearly coming from the figure.

Blaine tries to identify the figure slowly as he walks towards the bench.

Time stands still

Beauty in all he is

I will be brave

I will not let anything, take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

Blaine can clearly hear these words, and this sweet-sounding voice is so familiar by this point. The figure is a boy, he is kinda looking like the mysterious boy who was appearing and playing hide and seeks.

Blaine is close enough, his heartbeat raising like crazy. It's now or never. This time, he is not going to give this up.

He is standing right behind the figure, extending his arm to touch his shoulder. Blaine hesitates in doubt- Can he touch him? How will take it? What if he slaps him? But his curiosity keeps him going. He finally reaches his soft shoulder, when he heard the voice singing

One step closer...

Blaine is mind blown. He can't take this to be happening to him, He feels this like a dream, which is. The figure turns to Blaine: it is a boy, a familiar beautiful boy. His little smile makes Blaine blush, His glasz eyes are one of the most beautiful things Blaine has ever seen, they are red now, looks like he is crying. Blaine can feel his hand being touched by the soft, comfortable hand of the figure, rubbing his hand. The boy gets up from the bench, previously sitting with his leg on the other leg: He is also wearing a neat tuxedo but with a white bowtie, He looks so thin- so thin that Blaine can easily believe that the tuxedo covers his skeleton. In no time, Blaine gets to see the gorgeous eyes right in front of his, such a pleasing sight.

Blaine is able to rustle his hands through the perfectly coifed Brune hair; Blaine feels the soft, cold hands of the boy on his cheeks. Blaine tears up at this point- this is what he always wanted.

He is the boy from his dreams- from his SECRET NOTEBOOK. He can't believe it's his firefly sight boy. He finally gets to see him. Blaine takes the boy's hand with one of his hands and keeps the other on his hip. He brings him closer to himself, for a slow dance, singing

Heartbeats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

As he sings, Blaine slowly notices some changes from the boy- bruises of all kinds-deep and shallow start to appear. The wrist of the hand he is holding starts to show the evidence of his pain- hard hit by some other hand and bruises, impressions of pricks. His firefly sight boy disappears too quickly before Blaine tried to figure out what was he seeing on his 'perfect' boy. The boy pulls away from Blaine, not looking at him again. Blaine tries to hold his hand again, only to see him disappear as golden dust...

There comes November which doesn't treat them any better. They can't see each other for a month- their schools are tightening up their schedules, so horribly that they give no time for these two to meet, the least they can do is a phone call. Their winter breaks are approaching soon and the schools are squeezing every juice out of them. Blaine feels like squeezing every red juice out of him- yes, he said the truth to David, but it is just a temporary relief.

Somebody from his dad's law firm saw Blaine with another girl on Halloween and the news went straight to his dad. He came to know from Jane that he is apparently cheating on her. And finally, a trial was conducted at Blaine's house on the approaching Sunday after Halloween.

Blaine senses something wrong coming on his way. He always didn't like the vibes of his house. It is just him and his dad.

Michael: Well Hello Blaine. What do I owe you for this honour? Did you forget there is a home for you huh?

Blaine rolls his eyes and keeps his mouth shut to escape with minimal damage.

Michael: So how was your Halloween carnival night?

Michael cuts straight to the point. Blaine slowly realizes what is going to happen.

Blaine: Went well, dad.

Michael: Sooo, you got yourself a new girlfriend right?

Blaine starts to shiver by now. His face is evidently becoming white.

Blaine: Umm..it was just my friend. Look, Dad, Jane wasn't coming with me, she went with her friends and so, I had to take my friend.

Michael rises from his chair and Goes towards Blaine. He pulls Blaine by his collar, bitting his teeth.

Michael: Look, I don't know what you are doing. What's lacking in Jane? She's hot and rich. You know what? You ruined my fucking reputation. I couldn't see others in their eyes. She is the daughter of an important client and this is how you treat her? I am embarrassed.

Blaine: Uh...I am not interested in her, Dad. And I didn't take a girl to the carnival. I took a boy. Is that wrong?

This is the first time in many years that Blaine has spoken up to his dad. Blaine doesn't know what is gonna happen but he knows something- Michael is furious now and anything can happen to him. Michael drags Blaine and throws him on the floor. Blaine tries to crawl backwards only to meet the dead-end of the wall.

Micheal: Listen, I don't fucking care what you like. Don't rub it on my face. And you dating a boy is a disgrace and sin. If I see you behaving once more so faggy, I will burn you. And I wanted to hear the news of you apologizing to Jane. IS THAT CLEAR?

Blaine can really hear the growl in his voice. He didn't want to stir the pot, though he has much to speak about. He just nods, gets up, takes his bag, and basically runs as fast as he could. Blaine is hit by this incident so much. And thus, the nightmares of his dad and the usual dream start to strangle him. David can't speak his friend going through such pain. It is high time that he talk to somebody about this.

The month of November adds new punishments to the list of Kurt. The jocks start to stick tampons behind his back, start to spread rumours about him, right after a few jocks recognized Kurt being with another boy from the carnival. One fine day, Santana and Mercedes pull him from the corridor to a class. They start to notice the dread on Kurt's face after he is dragged- what's wrong with an empty classroom?

Kurt basically begs them to take anywhere but to this classroom. they drag him to the football field and sit in the audience stand. Kurt is made to sit in between them and Santana slowly whispers to his ear

Santana: So, How many weeks is your baby?

Kurt: What are you talking about?

Santana: Do not pretend, Hummel. The whole school knows about you being a slut.

Kurt: What are you meaning, Satan? What's going on?

Mercedes: Here, see this edition of the Muckraker. Somebody has seen you with Blaine and wrote that you slept with him.

Kurt shoves his hand in his mouth.

Kurt; What the hell is this? I didn't do anything. We are just friends.

Santana: My ass, lady lips. The sexual tension is oozing out between you two in the picture. Clearly, that hobbit was drunk.

Kurt gets up furiously and shouts at them

Kurt: Do you believe in these things? Mercedes, you too? Alright, I am not going to kill myself for this. Do you guys know how much I am going through? You have no idea.

Mercedes: Wait, we wanted to know that, What are you going through exactly?

Kurt stops himself from releasing the cat out of his bag.

Kurt: None of your business. NOW, GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY!

Kurt is in a rage clearly, he is getting angry so often and the last thing Santana notices is the faint handprints on Kurt's wrist. Kurt is in trouble.

David doesn't want to talk to Blaine's mom by himself: he doesn't want His mom to know about Blaine through David. David has just one option: Kurt.

It is the early week of December and David gains the courage to talk about this to Kurt. He steals Blaine's phone to take Kurt's number when Blaine is in the study hall. David goes out of the school to talk to kurt

Kurt is walking down the corridor in pain as he was shoved on a locker again. Just then, his phone rings. Kurt secretly prays that it shouldn't be a threat call.

Kurt: Hello? Who is this?

David: Hey Kurt, it's David, Blaine's friend.

Kurt(in a relieved tone): Hey David. What happened? Is Blaine fine?

David: About that, can we have a chat today evening?

Kurt: Sure. How about the Lima Bean? We'll meet at 5.

David: Cool.

Kurt doesn't want another tragedy to happen, not again. He doesn't want another best thing to leave his life. He can't wait till the evening to know from David. Kurt's pain can wait, according to him.

Mercedes and Santana summon a new meeting again with other glee girls, which obviously didn't include Quinn.

Santana: Hot take! Ladyboy is hiding something for sure.

Tina: I feel bad for Kurt. This is going out of hands. It was pathetic to read that article.

Rachel: Did you find something?

Santana: Yeah,2 things. One- Lady Hummel did not hook up. He was with a boy but didn't hook up. Two- He is hiding something. We were talking to him today, and here is the take! His skin under his wrist collar was quite exposed and I saw something- it was in patches, red patches, almost like fingertips. And some bruises too.

Mercedes: When did you see?

Santana: Auntie Snix's eyes are sharp babe.

Brittany: Yeah totally. She keeps eyes on me and they prick me. (Santana secretly smiles at her)

Rachel: We have to collect whatever pieces of evidence we get- this paper. Truth is getting out now and we have to be cautious in every information we get.

Santana: Wise words hobbit! Lauren, You and Puck are going to find the source of this ass news. This is definitely from this school. And we will be juicing Hummel in every way possible.

Everybody agrees and gets ready to help their friend.

It's time and Kurt waits for the one he is anticipating. Just then David comes in, having his coffee. Kurt's drink comes just in time.

David: Hey Kurt! Nice to meet you.

David extends his arm for a warm shake and finally gives him after a hesitation.

Kurt: Pleasure to meet you. I can't be here for long for some...reasons. What do you want to talk about Blaine? Is he ok?

David: He is...he is fine. Uh, nope. Blaine is getting miserable day by day and I couldn't see him like that. He has something inside him and he doesn't want to tell anybody.

His dad had got the news of you two going together to the carnival. And he clearly didn't like it. He did something to Blaine and Blaine never spoke about that.

Kurt: I told him, I told him. This is all my fault. We should have distanced ourselves.

David: Hey, hey, hey... Stop panicking, Kurt. This has got nothing to do with that Kurt. In fact, He needs you in his difficult times. He l-likes you very much. You are my only choice, Kurt.

Kurt: What should I do? I am ready to do whatever it takes.

David takes the tissue and scribbles something on it.

David: This is the contact number of Blaine's mom. We are still kids. We could not take any action and Blaine will not open his mouth- I am pretty sure.

So, here is what we are gonna do. You are introducing yourself as Blaine's friend, Tell her that Blaine is facing a problem and THey need to have a chat. Fix an appointment and We are making him talk to his mom. And then we will slowly make him talk to us.

Kurt: Fine, I'm in. Uh...David, mind if I ask this, but Do you have any idea what Blaine is facing?

(Kurt comes closer to David) I don't know if I can ask this, but does this thing got anything to do with his sexual orientation crisis?

David clearly realizes that Kurt has started to doubt. Kurt's eyes are speaking his love for Blaine.

{Holy Moly, He is in love with Blaine!}

David: Oh, I d-don't know a-about it! I got to be leaving Kurt. I'll keep in touch with you.

Kurt knows David is hiding something. He doesn't want the love of his life to suffer, though he is apparently straight.

Hey guys, do you like my story? I would love to hear your reviews and your love by a heart and. a follow.
