AN: Fun fact about this chapter: I wrote it on my phone's quick office and then got home to find that my phone had decided to delete it. I got visibly upset. I went for a walk because that's what balances out my chocolate and flaming hot cheetoes obsession. And then it was time for glee. So. Also, feel special, because I have a major project due tomorrow that I'm neglecting and might now fail. So review. Go do that. Because I love you, so love me back.

Chapter 2

Kurt's year went by in a string of a constant and a variable. He had Blaine, who was always there, steadfast and happy to see him, extra juice box in hand. Then he had the green eyed boy, who would waltz in and make him feel like he and Sebastian were in a secret club that no one was allowed to join, before dashing back out and making Kurt feel like the club had only wanted him because of the other, better, person he was with. Then Blaine would notice Kurt's sad and too serious gaze and pull out Patches, his stuffed puppy, to make Kurt feel better.

Sure, Sebastian was a shock to his system, making him feel like he could do anything. But Blaine was always there to make him smile, Blaine was safe. And he always knew where Blaine stood. Unlike Sebastian, who could be confusing to decipher, especially to a six year old.

So, it was on another of these days that Kurt waved to Blaine as the boy bounced up the driveway and greeted Carole. "Hi, Ms. Hudson! I'm here to walk Kurt to school today!"

Ms. Hudson greeted the adorable boy with a smile and a laugh, before handing Blaine a blueberry muffin and Kurt a banana nut muffin and sending them off to Dalton. "Thanks for the muffins, Ms. Hudson!" Blaine called excitedly, before biting into his muffin with a smile. "You have a great mommy, Kurt. MY mommy doesn't make me muffins. She said Cooper and I had to eat bran to stay strong. Then Cooper got to be on TV but mommy wouldn't let me watch, and then she cried a whole bunch, I guess because Coop decided to stay in the Capitol. Because everything is so pretty there, Kurt!"

Kurt looked over at Blaine, not believing what he was hearing. "Blaine…was Cooper in the Hunger Games? Did his name get called when all the other kids stood in front of your house last year?"

"Uh-huh! Maddox Steele called his name from the little jar, and everyone said it was an honor!"

Kurt knew that Blaine's parents had tried to save him from the pain until he was older, but God it hurt to think that this sweet innocent boy would have to become aware of a truth that Kurt was already too familiar with- the capitol can kill everyone you love, and not even remember your name. So Kurt did all that he could do for the happy curly haired boy next to him, and pulled him into a hug once they reached the Dalton gates. Blaine immediately threw his arms around Kurt in response, not understanding. "What's wrong Kurt? Hugging makes it better. It's a fact."

"Wow, Kurt, I think you're smothering the little thing. "

"I am not little! My growth spurt just hasn't hit yet, Sebastian! We can't all grow fast like you!" Blaine replied hotly, jerking out of Kurt's embrace to defend himself against the Kurt-stealer.

"I think you're just part shrimp Blaine, maybe that's why your dad doesn't fish. It would be cannibalistic."

"Sebastian! Stop being mean to him! Blaine doesn't look like a shrimp." Kurt defended haughtily, stomping his foot on the ground for emphasis. Then he started biting his lip and turned over to Blaine to whisper, "Hey Blaine…what's a shrimp look like?" but he didn't whisper softly enough because Sebastian heard him while he was leaned in to pilfer Kurt's muffin.

"You don't know what a SHRIMP looks like? But Kurt- we live a twenty minute walk from the ocean. How could you not know. These muffins are delicious by the way, send Carole my thanks."

Kurt looked forlornly at Sebastian's muffin as Blaine said something behind him, but he was already fully focused on the proud boy to his front. "Carole doesn't ever go down to the shore, and Finn says he's too busy. So I've just been waiting for the right time." Kurt said, saying what grown-ups said when they were making excuses.

"Well, could the right time be this weekend? My dad is leading a new expedition and he said it would be okay to bring a friend to talk to while I work."

"Kurt can't this weekend, I have to go help my daddy with his files!" Blaine interjected, taking the extra measure of inserting his little body between them just so they wouldn't go off and forget he was here, like they always did.

Sebastian looked down at Blaine like he wanted nothing more than to swat the boy off into the deep recesses of space, but managed to not tell Blaine that, because it might upset Kurt. "Does Kurt have to help you with that?" Sebastian asked, giving Blaine a look.

"Well…no…but what would he do without me! What if he got a sunburn? What if he's allergic to shellfish? What-what if he fell in!" Blaine finished, smiling proudly at his excuse.

"What would you even do if he did?"

"Jump in to save him, of course!" Blaine answered, looking offended at Sebastian's suggestion that he couldn't protect his favorite person in the whole wide world. Then he gave Kurt a hug goodbye as he scampered into his roll call line, way at the very front with the A's. Sebastian walked Kurt over to the H's before asking "So, did you want to go? We could meet Friday and I could teach you how to swim. So you could save yourself."

Kurt smiled softly up at Sebastian, before remembering that the boy would just tease him for it. "I'll ask Carole, okay Seb? But I want to, promise."

"Good." Sebastian waved as he jogged off to the "S" section, almost late because of his talk with Kurt.
