Chap 9:
BLAINES POV
The school day went by fairly quickly, though I wish I had seen Kurt more. We had plans after school to head over to McKinley. Kurt hadn't emptied his locker out yet, and I didn't fancy him going to that place alone. We both knew it was Karofsky's territory now, and since the school board would do nothing of the matter, he needed protection. Karofsky brought back all sorts of bad memories for me. Kurt's situation was just like mine, and probably every other kid in high school. Either way, I wanted to be there. I wanted to protect Kurt, whenever possible.
I felt hands cover my eyes. "Hellooooo?"
"Hi Blaine!" It was Kurt, grinning as wide as can be. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yep!" Kurt paused. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." I tried to smile.
Kurt closed my locker. "Liar, what's wrong?"
I sighed. "I was just thinking about Karofsky. I hate what he did to you." Kurt looked down a little. I held his chin. "But I'm glad that it brought you here, so we could meet." He smiled. "Am I really such a pleasure to know?" I chuckled. "You can be a bit of a prude at some times, but yes." "A PRUDE?" He looked so shocked. "I'm kidding! Joking! I'm kidding babe." He pouted and walked faster til I grabbed his hand and pulled him into a kiss. Heh, I loved teasing him.
"Come on, we're gonna be late, McKinley closes early." Right. I forgot they didn't have residence there. We got into Kurt's SUV and drove over in silence. I could feel he was getting a little tense. "You know it's going to be okay, right? I'm right here." Kurt glance at me then looked back at the road. "You might have to keep reminding me of that." I rubbed his shoulder. His nerves were getting to me, and I was starting to get nervous, which was just silly, I've never even been here. It'll be nice to see the school Kurt used to go to.
KURTS POV
I can do this. Even if it does bring back some bad memories, it'll be worth it to see Mr. Schue and everyone. Atleast that's what I kept telling myself.
We parked and I got out immediately. "Uh, babe? You forgot to take the keys out." "Oh shit." He's right. I locked the doors and there the keys are, just dangling there, taunting me. Blaine wrapped his arms around me. "Don't worry about it now, I can get my car later." "I'm just so distracted, I almost don't want to be here." He put out his hand "I'm with you, every step of the way." I took it. He was getting better at this whole comforting thing, I wouldn't have been able to do this without him.
We approached the entrance and I stopped, "Um. I. You know I don't mean to hurt you, right?" "Hurt me? What?" I felt bad. "We probably shouldn't walk in there holding hands." He just realized how unacceptable that would be here. "Oh my god, right, of course, I'm sorry Kurt." I smiled "It's okay, just control yourself next time." I winked. I did want to hold his hand, but I'd also like to live. If we saw Karofsky.. I don't want to think of what would happen.
