I have been inspired again! Hello, it's been way too long. I also had a lot of requests to update I Quit. I promise I want to, I'm just stuck! If anyway wants to request it go in certain direction, I'm very open to advice. I'll look at the other stories I have. This one right now has my attention the most. I do want to start adding some trigger warning for trauma and eating disorder. This story will have both darkness and humor.

The walk to Kurt's room was silent, neither boy said a word. Being a dorm of teenaged boys, naturally everyone was still sleeping so no embarrassing run ins in the hallways. What was he going to do this whole week with burns and bruises all over him? He was silently panicking as he and Nick rush into his room with all his things.

Nick sat Kurt's bag next to his bed and motioned for Kurt to sit. "Let's sit and figure this out. Kurt I'll support whatever you want to do right now." Nick sits down as well and watches Kurt quietly join him on the edge of the bed.

Kurt let's out a quiet sigh, his heart beating fast as he considers having to tell Blaine about another boy kissing him. They literally just got together. He looks over and sees Nick looking down, waiting patiently, letting him get his thoughts together.

Eventually Kurt lets in a deep breath and closes his eyes, trying to get his strength together. "Could you see if they're all awake? I only want to do this once."

Makes sense, Nick nods and stands up, "Anything you want me to tell them before bringing them in?"

Kurt shrugs, "If you think it'll help," realizing Nick was someone he could trust enough to give him that liberty.

Nick leaves the room and decides to wait a little bit and give Kurt a minute to collect his thoughts. He would go to Jeff first, he was sweet and understanding, and would do everything he's told. He quietly knocks on the door, he hears a quiet voice, "come in."

He walks in a sees a cutely disheveled Jeff, his heart skipped a beat. Before Nick could recover, Jeff was frowning at him in concern, "Nick, wait, why aren't you with Kurt." He steps out in the hallway to see if Kurt was out there. "Are you okay, you're not saying anything." He steps forward, frowning deeply, "Nick, something happened, didn't it?"

Nick let out a little shaky breath and nodded, "it's Kurt. He needs us.."

Jeff perks up at that, "Okay. Where is he, is he okay?!" Nick looked a little lost. Okay, Kurt needed something. So let's go to Kurt, right? "Nick, you're gonna have to give me more than that. What is happening?"

That seemed to kick Nick back in gear, he must be more traumatized by last night than he realized. He shakes the images out of his head and put a hand up to stop Jeff from walking down to Kurt's room. "Wait hold on, don't rush in there okay." Thankfully he listened, Nick was relieved he chose Jeff to start with. Jeff just nodded and waited, a worried frown on his face.

"We went to the game last night and this guy," Nick's voice broke, he face a little pale. Jeff steps closer, studying Nick's face. He's never seen Nick like this, it was unnerving. "I guess he's Kurt tormentor from last year when he went there. Made his life hell," Nick's stomach feeling unpleasant at the site of the forced kiss. Nick looked down instead of at Jeff's face, afraid he'll never finish, Kurt needed them.

Nick gathered himself and rushed through it a little, "He's one of the football players there, and they cornered him under the bleachers and attacked him."

"Oh my god," Jeff's voice oddly high, "Nick where is he, did you go to the police," Jeff moved again to track Kurt down in his room.

Nick place a hand on his arm to try and pull him back, "Please! Don't rush in there okay? He wants to explain it to all of you at one time. I need you to help me get the others. I'm not feeling calm about this, that's what Kurt needs okay? He's scared, especially over Blaine. Please help me get the others." Nick's eyes watering as he pleads with Jeff to help him.

Jeff looks at Nick and sees how broken and upset he looked. Was it really that bad, should Kurt be in the hospital, or talk to the police? For now, he was going to be the good friend and do as he was asked. "Of course I'll help," He frowns as he studies Nick's desperate and very sad eyes and pulls him into a hug, he clearly needed one.

Nick hugged Jeff probably way too long, but he needed this. Jeff was the most underrated person, the world needed more Jeff's. Nick pulled back and he cleared his throat and looked down at his feet, "Thank you."

Jeff gave Nick's shoulder a squeeze and wondered down the hallway towards where the other three were most likely still waking up. If not, they would be waking up.

Jeff knocked on Wes and Nick's door, looking at his watch, realizing he never bothered to check the time. It's not too early. No one answered, he pushed the door open and no one was there.

He stops outside Blaine's room and knocks, he heard someone coming to the door and took a few seconds to wonder how much this was going to effect Blaine to see Kurt injured. Blaine already had his own anger issues.

Blaine opened the door and greeted Jeff with a friendly smile, "Hey you, want to come in? We're just going to watch a quick movie before we have to start studying."

Jeff glances in and sees the other two sitting on the floor with their backs against Blaine's bed, arguing about movies. Jeff shakes his head as he enters the room, "actually, there's something else." Blaine frown in confusion and just said okay.

Blaine shut the door and watched as Jeff got the other two's attention.

"Listen you guys, Blaine," Jeff looking specifically at Blaine. "I really need you guys to be calm and please let me finish, no this has nothing to do with fight club," Jeff finished when he saw Wes roll his eyes. That must have gotten his attention because his face grew serious and nodded that he was listening.

"As you know, Kurt went to a football game with Nick last night," he knew the mention of Kurt would get Blaine riled up very fast. He was already rushing over to his phone.

"Yeah, and he promised he would text me to tell me how it goes, I haven't heard from them," Blaine looks nervously at Jeff, trying to keep his cool. "So you know something, what is it," Blaine was panicking on the inside, Jeff was being so shady.

Jeff decided to just come right out with it, Blaine was going to freak out no matter how he said it. "I don't know the details, but I guess he was roughed up last night-"

"What," Blaine shouts, sending a flurry of texts to both Nick and Kurt, his heart flying out of his chest, his imagination taking over.

Both David and Wes were standing up watching both of them tensely, not sure what to think or say.

Jeff spoke again to stop Blaine from texting them any further, but honestly anyone would be upset their boyfriend was attacked. "Blaine hold on, okay? Look he's here and he wants to talk to all of us," he blocks Blaine rushing to the door. "Blaine please, he needs you guys to be calm, he's scared and he needs us." Jeff's voice started rising towards the end, more just to get Blaine's attention than anger.

Blaine and Jeff stare at each other for minute, Blaine scratches the back of his head and tries to take a few breaths. "Right, sorry," Blaine's voice still tense, he's itching to tell Jeff to go to hell and rush down the hallway to Kurt.

Jeff's face softens, "Look he's here, right? So he must be okay. Let's just go in there and let him know we're here for him. Keep in mind they're both very shaken.

All three nodded soberly, but clearly wanting to get to their friend. Jeff sighed, "alright, lets go."

They get to the door and knock, Nick opens it almost instantly, casts a nervous look at Blaine but senses no animosity. He just looks very worried.

None of them said anything they just came in, Kurt got up from the bed and pulled Blaine into a hug.

Jeff sighed to himself when they both winced. Kurt's face looked very painful, very red, his lip split and bruised.

Blaine was the first to say something, his hand an inch from Kurt's face, afraid touching it would cause him pain, his voice high in anxiety and fear, "Kurt, who did this to you." He put his hand back down to his sides.

Kurt looked like he was trying not to cry, whether because of what happened or Blaine's reaction, it was impossible to tell. But he did find the strength to speak, "Can we all sit and I'll tell you everything."

Everyone quickly obeyed, wanting to make Kurt as comfortable as possible. They sat in a circle, Kurt between Nick and Blaine. Kurt was able to launch right in, going into the background of everything.

"I've been bullied my whole time while in school, so I never put much thought into why he targeted me so much, I just figured it was because he hated for being gay, he wouldn't be the first. But last night while I was getting us all hot chocolate, I guess he tracked me down and cornered me under the bleachers." Kurt glances at Blaine nervously, Blaine manages a tense smile, trying to comfort him.

Kurt quickly explained the use of slushies at school, and how Karofsky poured the hot chocolate on his face the way normally would a slushy.

All their faces looked disgusted at the thought of purposely burning someone, Nick looking down and shaking his head. Blaine looks at he burns on Kurt's face and felt an unnatural wave of fury that he was having an impossible time containing. Jeff must have caught on as he was watching Blaine intently.

Blaine rolled his eyes and moved closer to Kurt, remembering he promised to let Kurt finish. He shook his head as Kurt described the rest of the drinks pouring down his clothes and burning his arm and body. If he ever learned this kids name..

Blaine quickly relaxed his face when Kurt looked at him again, not wanting to upset him further by looking angry.

After got to the kissing part Blaine moved to stand up, cursing loudly.

"Blaine please," Kurt pleaded, tears now running down his face, misunderstanding Blaine's anger.

Blaine shook his head fervently, he started pacing, as he does when he gets worked up. His fists pounding each other in front of him.

The other guys were watching Kurt, looking extremely worried and horrified for him, Nick was watching Blaine tensely, trying to figure how to get Blaine both calm, and sitting down like he promised.

Kurt's heart was cracking, Blaine was so mad. He stood up as well, "Please Blaine, I promise I didn't want to."

That seemed to get Blaine's attention. He stopped long enough to look at the pain in Kurt's eyes. Blaine put his hands back down, he was not being a great boyfriend right now. Blaine shook his head at himself, and softened his face before looking back at Kurt. Blaine's voice tenser than he planned, "Kurt I'm not angry at you. I'm angry that this happened." He saw Kurt wince a little from his tone.

Blaine took a few breaths and tried again, grateful the other guys were letting them navigate this on their own. "I'm sorry, Kurt." He walked closer to Kurt who looked like he was shutting down and took the hand that looked the least painful. "I'm really sorry, I want you to understand my anger is in no way directed at you. I'm sorry," Blaine looked hopefully at Kurt until he finally met his eyes.

Kurt nods and pulls him back down to sit next to him. Blaine sat even closer to him, trying to make up for his outburst. Kurt held his hand firmly and continued. "Honestly, that was mostly. Nick came in and basically floored him with one push," Kurt smiles gratefully at his friend. "I didn't know he could fight like that."

The boys shared a tense look before Nick shook his head, "It was adrenaline I guess."

Kurt didn't seem to notice anything and just shrugged, "Well I appreciate it, I don't even want to think about what could have happened if you didn't.." Kurt's mind taking him down a dark path he didn't want it too.

The other boys faces darkened as well, Jeff was the first to recover. "Nick, how did you know this was happening?"

The other grateful for the change in direction, looked at Nick curiously.

Nick just shrugged, shaking his head at himself, looking down at his hands, "Well I should have gone down with him from the start, I went to help him carry the drinks." Nick now realizing how thoughtless he had been.

Blaine was surprisingly the first to pick up on his sudden self-hatred and was quick to speak up, "Nick, you did great. You realized your friend was gone, you went to find him and you got him out of there. But my question is, what fucking cell is he in," Blaine's voice angry again.

"We're not involving the police," Kurt said finality.

The boys started arguing amongst themselves and Kurt just let them.

"This monster should be arrested."

"It's not what Kurt wants."

"What are we supposed to do, just let it go?" David's voice speaks out over everyone. "Kurt, please, man. We can help you."

"No," Kurt says in distress, "please no." He went into a longer explanation on how the justice system would not be on his side. It would be a slap on the wrist, especially since he's not even a student there anymore. He would be more traumatized by the process than anything and it would add up to nothing.

Eventually everyone started to accept his decision, none of them agreed with it.

It was about 1:00 pm, everyone felt the drain from all the emotions and they just sat for a while, not saying anything. Wes finally spoke up, "Okay, Kurt's made his choice. We need to do something else. Jeff, do you have anything that helps with burns?"

Jeff frowned thoughtfully and rushed off.

Kurt almost burst into tears all over again, but this time in a good way, he would get through this.

Kurt allowed Jeff to assist him in caring for his wounds, Blaine would have been amazing at this and Kurt would love Blaine's hands all over him. But not like this, not yet. Blaine agreed readily, more than willing to agree with anything that helps Kurt recover physically and emotionally.

David left a voice mail for the headmaster that Kurt was ill and would need his schoolwork brought up to him each day, and he volunteered.

Wes brought a trough of food up from the cafeteria after a lengthy fight with the entire cafeteria staff, launching into a tirade about never allowing a man to wonder hungry, eventually they gave in to shut him up. He tried to bring the whole salad bar, before realizing he would need to get it up the stairs. He quickly gave up on the idea.

Blaine boxed, he boxed until his hands bled, even with gloves on, and he was still angry. Blaine shook his head as he tried to get a picture of this kid in his head, but he had no idea who he was. Kurt wouldn't divulge. He doesn't believe in violence. He loved Kurt but come on. Blaine wasn't sure he'd be able to let this go.

He didn't stop until David and Nick forcibly removed him.

Blaine grumbled through dinner in Kurt's room while Jeff tried to make Kurt eat everything under the sun. "Kurt you need to eat something."

Kurt did eventually eat, mostly so everyone would relax. Little by little the boys filed out to do some studying. Blaine stayed and sat on the floor by Kurt's bed while Kurt rested a little. He had his laptop open and was trying to focus on his paper.

About an hour later Blaine felt a hand run through his hair. He couldn't help but feel his mood lift a little. He leaned back to encourage Kurt to continue.

Kurt chuckled, Blaine's hair was amazing when it wasn't gelled back. Eventually his hand rested on Blaine's shoulder. "Blaine?"

Blaine looked up at his new boyfriend, "Yes, Kurt."

Kurt winced as he tried to get a better look at Blaine's face, "Do you swear you're not mad at me?"

Blaine instantly places his laptop on the floor, and move to sit next to Kurt on the bed. "I'm absolutely not mad at you. I promise you."

Kurt seemed to accept that and did the best he could to smile, he got a painful reminder of that kiss every time he tried and it him made feel sick. "You'll never want to kiss me again." Kurt now avoiding looking at Blaine at all, his eyes starting to burn with shame.

Blaine would not allow that, he leaned closer to Kurt's face, Kurt looked back up hopefully. "Kurt, I always want to kiss you. We can't kiss the way we were before; it would cause you more pain. But.." Blaine leans in a kisses lightly on Kurt's top lip, which was not injured. It wasn't much, but the last thing Blaine wanted was Kurt questioning his feelings for him. Blaine loved Kurt so much.
