Silence fell for the next seconds. You could of cut the tension with a knife. Jeff swallowed hard and turned his head towards Kurt and seen blank expression on his face. He could tell that his friend was hurting he could see it in his eyes. Hummel's don't back down he thought. It was Wes to be the first to speak up.
"Kurtis." Wes spat out. His voice was calm and collected. He knew Kurt hated when he called him that. It wasn't even his legal name but he knew it riled him up something ruthless.
"Wesley." Kurt quickly shot back with a roll of his eyes. If he thinks for one minute that's going to affect me he's got another thing coming.
Wes nodded mutely and sat himself down. He couldn't believe how casual he was. The blank expression on his face was telling enough. He felt sick to his stomach, he didn't know how Blaine was going to handle this.
David stood up and made his way over to Kurt. He didn't have to heart to ignore him. He became a huge part of David's life and even though he couldn't forgive Kurt, he couldn't act like he didn't exist. He pulled Kurt in for a quick hug but he felt Kurt tense up and immediately let go. What happened to you?
"Welcome back Kurt." David said with a small smile on his face. He dropped his hand from Kurt's shoulder and it fell to his side.
"Thanks David." He reply was short and sweet. Kurt wasn't expecting any type of contact with anyone of them. he become pretty close to David a few months before he left and he was really happy to see him, he just couldn't let himself break. He couldn't let them see him break. David smiled once more before making his way back to Wes and taking a seat.
"Nicky?" Jeff questioned his boyfriend. He knew Nick didn't want anything to do with Kurt but he was hoping he would at least acknowledge his presence. At least for him.
Nick was more than angry, he was raging. He didn't even want to look at HIM. He wanted to rip his fucking head off his shoulders. He heard the hopeful voice of his boyfriend but he knew if he looked up right now there most definitely would be blood on his hands and he would never be forgiven.
"I have nothing to say to him, he's dead to me." Nick responded quickly. "I don't have the energy to be cleaning up limbs today of the floor."
Kurt felt sick. He knew Nick hated him, he just didn't know how much until now. It was like a knife to his heart and he couldn't take it. He could hear Jeff sighing beside him and he felt his gaze on him. What Kurt said next shocked them all.
"You would think for a four hundred year old vampire you would have learnt to grow the fuck up by now, get some balls and look me in the eyes Duval."
Nicks head shot up and before he knew what was happening, he had Kurt pinned against a table. He eyes flashed red and his hands was round Kurt's neck. He felt someone try and break it up but his grip became tighter. Kurt hands shot up to his neck trying to prey his hands off him.
"Please Nicky just stop!" Jeff cried out. David had tried to break them apart but Nick was older and stronger and he knew if it didn't end now he would strangle him to death. Wes even jumped in to help but he was thrown across the room. Kurt couldn't breathe. He felt himself going dizzy and he felt like the room was spinning.
"Fucking do it, you'll be doing me a god damn favour!" Kurt choked out and he gave up fighting with Nick and let his hands fall down. He heard Jeff gasp as his hands fell down to his side. The next thing he knew he could breathe, he started to cough violently as he tried to gasp for air. He felt someone's hand on his shoulder. It was Jeff.
"I'm so sorry! Baby are you okay? Let me look at you!" Jeff tried to help Kurt but he battered his hands away. His heart was pounding, he couldn't do this. Why did he just fucking say that? Are you fucking dumb? That was heartless Kurt
Kurt managed to regain enough strength to turn his head to the side to see what was happening. Blaine was restraining Nick. It was the first time he had looked at him since he had been back and he had saved him. He felt the tears prick his eyes as he continued to gasp for air. Nick was fighting with Blaine, an ongoing battle of Nick trying to escape Blaine's hold.
"He's not worth it nick. Please calm down."
His voice. Fuck. God that voice. Kurt turned his head away. He could feel himself breaking. He clumsily stood up with a help from Jeff. His whole body was shaking. His knees felt like jelly. David had joined them, trying to check Kurt over while Wes has joined Blaine in trying to stop Nick from finishing the job. Kurt closed his eyes. Great, what a fabulous first day!
Nick had stopped struggling as he regained his composure. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He attacked Kurt. He nearly killed him. He didn't realise how much anger he had towards him.
"Are you done Nick?" Wes said sternly with a hand on his shoulder. Nick nodded and he felt the pressure on his shoulder release. He looked up at Blaine and he could see the hurt in his eyes. He just attacked the love of his life. Nick knew he had fucked up big time. He looked over to see Jeff looking at him with disappointment.
"Jeff-
"Just don't Nick.. just don't." Jeff growled shaking his head. He couldn't even put into words how angry he was at his boyfriend. Nick looked over to Kurt and his breath hitched in his throat. The bruising was already starting to show. It was spreading across his neck and making it's way down his collarbone. He shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe he had hurt him that bad. He needed to get out the room and with that he was gone.
Blaine could still hear Kurt struggling to breathe and a single tear fell down his face. He couldn't turn around just yet. He didn't want too. He decided to do the next best thing and follow Nick. Kurt seen Blaine leaving through the double doors and he was kind of grateful for it. He was already struggling and they hadn't even had their first conversation yet. Seeing him brought back all the memories, good and the bad. He couldn't believe Blaine was the one to manage to get Nick off him. The words cut through him and he felt his heart was being ripped out of his chest.
He's not worth it Nick
David was mortified. Yeah, Hummel most definitely has balls! He always knew Kurt could give as good as he got but that was ruthless. He looked over at his old friend, who had his eyes closed and was resting his forehead on Jeff's shoulder, he could heart his heart beating erratically and he felt really sorry for him. David went to the fridge and pulled out a cold bottle of water and made his way back to them both. He kneeled beside them and opened the cap. David looked over to his best friend and mouthed I've got him Wes gave him a nod and he left quietly.
"Have some water Kurt. It'll make you feel better." Kurt looked up and with a shaky hand. He took the water gently from David's hand and took a sip before placing it on the floor next to him.
"Je vous remercie chérie." (Thank you sweetheart) Kurt's french accent was thick. You would have never know that french was his second language and not his first. David and Kurt talked in french fluently to each-other most of the time, it's how they first connected. David's heart sank. Kurt's voice was hoarse and strained. David grinned and placed the cap back onto the bottle of water and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder and replied softly.
"Toujours pétale." (Always petal)
Nick was pacing back and forth in his and his boyfriend's room. He felt so ashamed. His vampire instincts kicked in and he became incredibly violent and it was one thing he could not control. The blood lust he had every control over but the anger? No. He shook his head to try and shake the thoughts away. He had always been hot headed and being a vampire made everything heightened. He knew that Kurt knew he couldn't control it but that didn't make his feel any less guilty. Yes, he threatened him in his head all the time for hurting his boyfriend and best friend but he didn't think he would be remotely capable of actually physically hurting him. He ran his hands forcefully down his face trying to calm himself down.
"Open the door now Nick." Blaine's voice small and sounded defeated. He rushed over to the door and opened it quickly. Blaine walked through before sighing loudly and turning to his best friend.
"What the fuck Nick, seriously? How could you even do that! You nearly fucking killed him!"
"Blainers-
"Don't fucking Blainers me! Are you forgetting he's human? How he's easily broke? Jesus Christ Nicky!"
"I'm so sorry man. I didn't think it.. it just fucking happened and I didn't even know what I was doing until my hands was around him!" Nick tried to approached Blaine but he stepped back. "He's so fucking savage! Did you hear what he said to me?! He fucking knows the one thing I can't bare is someone telling me to grow up! And yet he did! He belittled me in-front of everyone!"
Nick had confided once to Kurt about his pet hate and yet he had just used it in front of all his family. Blaine knew that, they all did. It was the one thing that was absolutely a no go. You do not tell Nick Duval to grow up. You just fucking don't. Blaine could see that he friend was hurting but he couldn't stop thinking about Kurt. When Kurt entered the room he was silent and kept his head down. When he heard him say them words
You'll be doing me a god damn favour
He seen the way Kurt gave up, letting himself give up the struggle. Giving Nick better access to his throat. He seen the horror is Jeff's eyes. No matter what happened between the both of them, he could never ever let him get hurt. He couldn't do it. I love and hate that man. Nick could sense what he was thinking and before Blaine knew what he was doing he was engulfed into a hug. He wanted to fight Nick away and be angry but the way his arms wrapped round him felt safe, felt like home.
"I seen it too.. I seen the way he gave up. He relaxed into it. He.. he wanted me too Blaine. He wanted me to hurt him." He whispered softly into Blaine's ear. He learned in again. "Blaine I promise you, when he gave up like that I wanted to pull away I just.. I just couldn't. The anger was to strong and I'm so sorry." Nick cried out. Jesus, he felt like shit.
Blaine pulled back and raised his hand, brushing a thumb down the side of nicks face, he felt Nick inhale and relax. "Please. I don't expect you to speak to him, I don't expect you to forgive him because I can't either. But for Jeff's sake make sure you apologi-
"Blaine I swear I will! I promise… okay? I promise."
"Make sure it's a good one too, you really pulled a number on him Nick. He wasn't showing any emotion over it but." He paused for a moment, emotions taking over. " He was in bad shape." Blaine lowered his gaze. He had to fight every fibre of his being to go over and make sure he was okay. He was in a constant battle with himself. He loved him but wouldn't forgive him. He wanted him but he couldn't have him. He wanted to hold him like he did before but the thought of having him near him was sickening and he kept picturing him and Sebastian together. He remembered when he found them. He remembered hearing the moans, the gasps of pleasure. Everything.
~It was just after midnight and the Dalton boys had decided to go out hunting. It was the weekend so most of the other students had gone home. Kurt had been reluctant to go this time though, he normally went with them and the men rotated who stayed with Kurt so he wasn't on his own. He always went no matter what, he wanted them to be comfortable and he needed them to be themselves so it was something that they all did together. But no, the guys had tried to get Kurt to come but he was extremely off. He kept saying he felt sick. Blaine wouldn't go but Kurt made him, making a joke about him not wanting to be his next meal if he didn't feed on bambi. They went out hunting but Blaine couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. The guys questioned it too and was really worried so they headed back early not realising the devastation that was ahead of them. ~
Blaine shook his head. Not now Blaine! They both looked at each other as they heard voices on the corridor.
Jeff and David had started walking Kurt to him room. Kurt refused the help but they wouldn't let him go on his own. He was staggering a little, most definitely the shock.
"Can you stop being a stubborn little bitch for just a second so I can help you?" Jeff spoke sternly at his friend and all he got was an eye roll in return.
"He nearly tore out my windpipe Jeffery. he didn't snap my kneecaps, I'm perfectly capable to walk on my own thank you very much!" Kurt laughed out and nudged him in the shoulder.
"Comment pouvez-vous être si cool avec ce pétale?" (How can you be so cool with this petal?)David commented to Kurt. He waited for a reply but he never got it. Kurt just shrugged and carried on walking. He wasn't okay with it. He nearly had just been decapitated like that scene from twilight. Hey ho, I guess that's what I get for being a total bitch
"I'm just going to see Nick. I'll be with you soon okay?" Jeff mumbled out and gave Kurt a quick kiss to his temple.
"I'll take h-
"I'm not a freaking child Jef-
"I'll take him." David said sternly. "Go on Jeff, it's okay."
Jeff took one last look before taking a few steps back and opening his room door.
"You're a fucking asshole Nicky."
"I know."
"How could you even think of hurting him!"
"I don't know-
"Have you seen the state of him? He looks like a patch work fucking quilt!" Jeff belted out while he walked closer to Nick. "I know you have your differences, I know you'll never feel the way I do again but that was out of line. You was out of fucking line!"
Nick didn't know what to say. He was lost for words. He deserved every bit of this. God he hated disappointing Jeff.
"I feel so bad about it love. God what is wrong with me?" Nick slumped down onto his bed and put his head in his palms. "I didn't think seeing him, hearing him would affect me this much."
Jeff looked at his boyfriend. He really truly looked sorry for what he had did. He glanced over to Blaine who was leaning against the wall with a hurt look in his face.
"Is he okay Jeff?" Blaine said weakly, he attention had turned from the carpet to the Jeff. Jeff sighed before answering his back
"I just don't know Blaine. I.. I can see he's struggling but he won't let me in. You heard him just then right?" They both nodded in unison. "He's nearly just had his throat gashed-
"I'm sor-
"Let me finish Nick." Jeff waved his hand in dismissal.
"He nearly died and he made a joke out of it and yes Nick, maybe you would of pulled away but at the end of the day, he's not himself we all know that. No matter how much he hurt us, we hurt him too." Jeff stated.
"You heard me say that?"
Jeff rolled his eyes and smirked "of course I heard you. Vampy ears Nicky, Vampy ears."
A light laugh came from Nick and Blaine.
"I want to see if he's okay but I just can't Jeff. Every time I look at him I feel nauseous." Blaine professed. He wished he could erase all those memories.
"I know gorgeous, I know. Are you going to be okay?" Jeff stood up and made his way to the door.
"I hope so." Jeff smiled and kissed his quickly on the cheek.
"I'm not finished Nick, we'll resume later." Nick nodded and lowered his head. Definitely in the dog house tonight
"Oh and Blaine?"
"Yes Jeff?"
"Thank you for saving him."
Kurt and David had just entered his new room. It didn't even register it was the room that shared a bathroom with Blaine.
"Are you okay pétale?"
"Oui." (Yes)
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Hell no."
Why does he have to be so bloody stubborn? David thought. He watched him closely, observing him even. Kurt was nervous. He reached up and started to twirl his necklace round in his fingers. He didn't even know he was doing it. David just wanted to try and make him comfortable enough to talk.
"Your necklace is beautiful." Kurt looked up at David. He didn't know what he was going on about. My necklace is hidden? Kurt was confused until he realised what he was doing. Be tucked it back into his jumper quickly.
"Merci." (Thank you)
"Is it a spanner? Did Burt get you it?" David questioned hopefully. He needed something from him. "Well, it reminds me of Burt." Kurt couldn't take it. The mention of his dad made him snap.
"Get the fuck out."
"Wait what? Ku-
"Get the fuck out my god damn room! I didn't ask for you fucking help! If I wanted it I would of asked for it!" Kurt shouted angrily.
"Please pétale, just calm down okay? and we can talk about this!" David placed his hands up in the air showing Kurt it was no threat. He didn't know what to do. He hoped someone had heard.
"Don't tell me to calm down David! I don't need to talk about Jack shit to you or anyone for that matter! Just do me a favour and go fuck yourself!"
Smash!
The commotion was heard by them all. It was Jeff who got there first, he flung the door open to find a very pissed off Kurt and a terrified David. He looked to the floor on his left and found a broken vase, shattered into pieces. Shit. He looked over at Kurt and you could see the rage in his face. He was vexed. David on the other hand was slowly trying to approach Kurt with his hands in the air. He looked scared.
"I'm sorry if I said something to upset you!" David calmly. He didn't want to upset Kurt anymore than he was.
"You haven't upset me." kurt spat out. "Just get out my room right now." His voice was low and full of venom. David looked at Jeff for help. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know why he was so angry with him. He only mentioned the necklace, he mentioned Burt.
"Baby, let's just sit down. Let me look at your hand okay? It's bleeding!" Jeff was so confused. He was okay before. He really needed to look at that hand. It was bleeding pretty badly. He was so worried for his best friend.
"Go and get Mr Alexander, now David!"
With that David left in a flash. Kurt started to hyperventilate. So much for keeping my fucking cool. He felt his chest tightening. It had been ten months since his dad had died and this was the first time since that day he felt the pain slowly creep in. Seeing them, remembering his dad it was all to much and he couldn't handle it. He tried to leave the room but Jeff was restraining him. They ended up on the floor, Jeff was wrapped round him. He couldn't relax, he couldn't calm down.
"GET OFF ME!"
Nick and Blaine shot up, as they came to the door they they seen Wes quickly turn the corner.
"What the fuck is going on with Kurtis?" Wes said confused. He had taken thirty minutes to himself in his room. He had never heard him like this, ever.
It was Blaine who opened the door first. The scene before him broke his heart. Kurt was kneeling on the floor trying to get out of Jeff's grasp. There was no tears, just utter anger. Jeff's was trying to sooth him gently but he kept lashing out. Jeff looked up to his boyfriend panic ridden. Nick knew he had to intervene.
~You're not going to like this Jeff~
He needed to do this. He needed to prove himself. His boyfriend looked up and nodded, another vampire ability he was incredibly grateful for. Nick quickly made his way over and gently but forcefully pushed Kurt so he was laying down. Wes rushed over too and they both had him pinned by his shoulders. Blaine felt useless. He went over to a sobbing Jeff and held him. He wanted to help him but it had been too long, he didn't know how too. He had never seen his Ex act this way. Mr Alexander rushed through the door soon after with David. The shocked look on his face was enough to make them worry. Kurt was struggling still but his movements became weak and lazy.
"I swear to god if you don't get off me, I'll drive a stake through both of your hearts." It was hoarse from the incident earlier but it was full of so much evil it drove shivers down Blaine's neck.
"Do it Nick, help him." Mr Alexander said pleadingly. They all knew that it meant. He wanted him to help him. Nick looked to his boyfriend and looked back. He knew what he had to do.
"Kurt, look at me."
"Sorry sweetheart, that works both ways."
Nick had enough, he grabbed Kurt's face and forcefully turned Kurt's face so he was facing him. Kurt's lips was tightly sealed.
"Kurt, if you don't calm down and tell me what's got you so upset-
"I'm not fucking upset."
"If you don't calm down and tell me why you're so pissed off, I will have to compel you and I know how much you don't like your mind being played with."
"Have you got a thing for me Duval? You haven't been able to keep your hands of me for five minutes since I got back."
Nick chuckled. He had to admit it, he's missed Hummel. He missed his humour, even more now than ever
"In your dreams Hummel."
No response
"I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry for what I put you through. I'm sorry for not giving you the welcome that you needed. I'll never forgive you Kurt but that doesn't mean I want to see you struggle. I'll never forgive myself for what I just did to you. Please Kurt. Please let us help you."
"Why would you help me? I'm just a guy who fucked another guy behind your best friends back."
Ouch. Blaine looked away and bit his lip.
There was a pause and it felt like forever they was waiting. Kurt was extremely stubborn. Kurt was tired, his body was tired his brain was tired. He just wanted to give up but he knew he would never let himself be compelled.
"You're one stubborn princess you know? I'm gonna hav-
"My dad died."
