It started when Kurt picked Blaine up from school on Friday afternoon. Blaine could tell that something was wrong the second he got into the car and Kurt didn't say hi to him.

"Hey," Blaine said, closing the door and pulling his seatbelt across himself. "Y-y-you okay?"

"I'm fine." Kurt replied simply, pulling away from Dalton and beginning the drive back to his house.

Blaine decided to leave it for a while, not wanting to upset or anger Kurt, and stared aimlessly out of the window for a while. When he turned back again, he was expecting to see Kurt's face scrunched up with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"K-K-Kurt?" Blaine said gently. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Kurt lied, his voice breaking a little.

"D-D-Don't l-lie t-t-t-to m-me K-Kurt."

"I'm fine." Kurt said more forcefully, sniffing and blinking his tears away.

"K-K-Kurt, p-pull over," Blaine said when the car began to swerve a little as Kurt's vision was becoming blurred by his tears. Kurt ignored him and continued driving, trying to stop himself from crying. "Kurt!" He all but shouted. "Pull the d-d-damn c-c-car over b-before you k-kill us b-b-both!"

Kurt jumped a little at Blaine shouting but did as he said, burying his face in his hands and crying loudly as soon as the car was parked. "I'm sorry." He sobbed.

"Kurt," Blaine frowned. "C-c-come w-with m-me." He said, getting out of the car and moving to the backseats. Kurt followed and immediately snuggled into Blaine's arms when he opened them up from him. "W-w-what h-happened?"

"You remember I told you about Karofsky?" Kurt said, his voice muffled from his face being pressed up against Blaine's chest. Blaine nodded in reply. "He pushed me into my locker and I ran after him, basically screaming at him. He went into the locker room and I followed him and he...he...he kissed me," He said, beginning to cry harder as Blaine tightened his grip on Kurt. "It was horrible. I pushed him away and I...he threatened me."

"W-w-what do y-you m-m-mean h-he th-th-threatened you?" Blaine asked, suddenly feeling extremely angry.

"He...he said he'd kill me if I told anybody."

"And y-y-you d-d-d-d-didn't think t-to t-t-tell s-s-somebody!?" Blaine exclaimed.

"What good would that have done?" Kurt asked. "Nobody in that school gives a damn about me, Blaine. If I told somebody, they wouldn't believe me and then he'd just have come after me again."

"Sam w-w-would've b-believed y-y-you! H-he c-c-c-could've h-helped you!"

"I'm not dragging Sam into this, Blaine," Kurt said. "He can't do any more than what I can do."

"Y-y-you c-c-can't j-j-just let him g-get away with this K-Kurt!" Blaine shouted. "He's g-g-going t-to k-keep b-b-bullying y-you and y-you c-c-c-can't d-d-do anything about it b-b-because he's th-th-th-threatening you and y-y-you won't t-t-tell anyone!"

"Stop shouting at me!" Kurt cried.

"I'm sorry," Blaine said, hugging Kurt tighter. "I'm s-sorry, I j-just...h-h-he shouldn't b-be allowed t-to d-d-do this t-to y-y-you. And I d-d-don't like s-s-seeing you s-s-s-sad."

"I think I'm still just shaken up from it," Kurt said, sniffling a little. "I'll be fine."

Blaine sighed. "P-p-promise me s-s-something?"

"What?"

"If h-he d-d-d-does one m-m-more th-th-thing t-t-to you, y-y-you h-have to t-t-tell s-s-somebody."

"I can't," Kurt said, looking up at Blaine tearfully. "I'm scared of what he'll do if he finds out that I told somebody."

"That's exactly w-w-why y-you have to tell s-s-somebody. I d-d-didn't t-tell anybody that I w-w-was g-g-getting b-b-bullied and I ended up in the h-h-h-h-h-hospital, I d-don't w-w-want that t-to h-h-happen t-to y-y-you," Kurt buried his face back in Blaine's chest and closed his eyes. "P-p-please j-j-just p-promise m-me th-th-th-that one th-thing?"

"I promise that I'll try," Kurt said. "I can't promise I'll be strong enough to do it."

"That's enough f-f-for me." Blaine said.

Kurt moved his head and shuffled closer to Blaine, cupping his cheek and kissing him gently. Blaine tangled one hand into Kurt's hair and rested the other hand on his waist, kissing him back deeply. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and pulled him closer, never breaking the kiss.

Kurt was practically on Blaine's lap by the time they were finished kissing; his legs thrown over Blaine's so that he was sitting sideways along the backseats of his car. He eventually pulled back, breathing heavily as he leaned his forehead against Blaine's.

"I love you," He whispered into the silence of the car. "I can't keep it a secret anymore. I love you so much."

Blaine opened his eyes and looked at Kurt incredulously, tears welling up in his eyes. "I love y-you t-t-too." He said, his voice breaking a little.

"These past four months have been the best four months of my life." Kurt said honestly.

"Stop it," Blaine laughed, bringing a hand up to wipe his eyes. "Y-y-you're m-m-making m-me c-cry."

Kurt smiled, pressing another long kiss to Blaine's lips. "We should go," He said when he pulled back. "We're already going to be late."

"Okay, b-b-but I'm d-d-driving; y-you almost k-killed us once."

"Deal." Kurt chuckled, getting out of the car and sitting in the passenger seat while Blaine went round to the front seat.

"H-hey, Kurt?" Blaine said, looking at Kurt with a smile on his lips. "I l-l-love y-you."

"You're such a dork," Kurt laughed. "I love you too."
