Hey Guys! I would like to thank you for the awesome response i'm getting! it's fantastic! My email has gone beserk with alerts!

So this chapter is a bit longer and i'm gonna give you a taster of that happened to Kurt.

The small bell rung against the door as it opened and the two boys' walked into the shop taking in the soothing aroma of rich coffee. It was quaint and the coffee was really good, the Lima bean was a place that Kurt had become fond of when he was at McKinley- taking the oppurtunity to reside there whenever he had a free period in the day to do any homework or assignments with the added pleasure of enjoying a good cup of coffee.

He smiled to himself, quite proud of himself for bringing Blaine here. It was a place that was close to him and for a long time he hadn't even thought of anyone being close to him but this was a start, a start to him getting better and he knew it. Spotting his seat which luckily remained vancant he slid onto the wooden seat with ease, waiting for Blaine to return with their coffees' as he looked at the scenery outside the window before turning to drink in the soft decor of the place, it had been ages since he was here.

Blaine came up to the table, beaming as per usual with a soft green shirt on and a cream sweater vest over the top, the grey bowtie neatly positioned and matching the trousers he wore. Blaine had grabbed the two cups of coffee noting how much the waitress behind had smiled at him, knowing very well she probably knew Kurt. He looked around to spot Kurt only to find he had sat down next to the window, proping his head on his hand whilst he leaned over slightly, a small smile adorning his lips. Kurt wore the same cream sweater that he had worn the night before by Blaine's request, insisting it had looked lovely on him and with matching black skinny jeans and knee high boots Blaine had felt himself melt at just one look.

"Here, this place is awesome. Great coffee." Blaine had taken a sip before sitting down and meeting Kurt's blue eyes which seemed to be the only part of Kurt's body that moved before he smiled a bit more widely and drew back to sit up properly and take a sip from his coffee.

"So the Warblers' want to do 'Teenage Dream' for Sectional's but personally, even though we do rock at that number- Pink's 'Raise your Glass' is a much better choice by far. I'm trying to convince Wes to let us do it, it would be one to get the crowd out of their seats', you know?"

Kurt tapped his cheek with his fingers' as he leant on his hand once more, drinking in every word that Blaine spoke. Even something as trivial as a song competition made his voice absolutely melodic, especially when he was so passionate about what was best for the whole team- going into detail about how everyone's voices and how well they worked. That was one thing Kurt admired about him. Usually a lead singer just took the lead but Blaine wasn't pompous and cocky when it came down to it.

Kurt's breath hitched and his plump lips parted. He didn't want to see them-not here.

Blaine hadn't notice the shocked expression in his mute friend's eyes and continued talking only to take more of a concerned tone when he saw how Kurt was. "Kurt? I only suggested a Pink song...you don't need to panic so much-" he was cut off by Kurt shaking his head rapidly and looking down at his coffee, daring to look over to the counter every few seconds' to make sure he hadn't been spotted. When Blaine caught wind of Kurt's actions' he furrowed his eyebrows and turned to look over at the counter.

Several boys' in letterman jackets' chattered and laughed at the till, one in particular was a large coloured boy who held his drink in his hand and scanned the room, his chocolate eyes' meeting Blaine's honey ones and scowling. Blaine snapped to turn away and Kurt had a look of horror on his face as he watched the large boy stomp up to the table- gulping lightly as a few beads of swat dripped down his face.

"What you looking at? ...Hey Princess... thought i told you not to come round here." He cracked his knuckles and his neck and before he could lay a finger on Kurt Blaine had jumped up in front of him, smacking his hand away in fury. "I wouldn't touch him if I were you. Do you think you're big picking on someone who can't speak- let alone defnd himself? You're pathetic!"

Thenext thing he knew he was lifted from the ground by the sheer strength by the larger boy who threw him to the floor and knocking several chairs'. The people looked on in shock as Blaine struggled to get up, wincing in pain as the colored boy loomed over him.

"No one speaks to me like that, Imma kick your ass then his." He gestured back to Kurt before leaning down to grab the dapper boy. Kurt felt his heart hammer against his chest as he watched Blaine get thrown to the floor, Azimo was ruthless and he knew it- How could Blaine be so stupid? He watched Blaine push his body up and look at Azimo and rose to his feet. He couldn't care less about the other jocks' laughing and spurring Azimo on or the people watching, he wasn't thinking.

His body took over and somehow he pulled the larger boy back and pushed him to the wall before snapping out of it and hesitating back. A stray tear fell as Azimo had a thunderous look on his face and began to launch himself to hit Kurt. He awaited the blow, a smack to the face or maybe being knocked over and a few kicks to the ribs' but none came. A crash was heard as Puck stormed in and gave Azimo a hard 'Thwack' to the face with Finn and Mike behind him trying to hold him back.

Yelling was heard but Kurt couldn't make out what they were saying, he felt dizzy and his head was spinning.

"I'll get the little faggot for what he did to Karofsky! Watch your back Hudson, Puckerman!" Azimo shouted as he retreated and the other jocks' followed whilst the boys' tried to hold Puck back from chasing him. Sam had been helping up Blaine and Artie rolled over to Kurt who was breathing heavily. They had just stopped by for a coffee after practice when they had seen Azimo smack Blaine to the floor and when Kurt got involved Puck had seen red.

"Kurt? KURT? Guys! He's having another panic attack!" Artie got their attention and it was the last thing that he heard before he blacked out.

The coffee wasn't as good in the hospital. The taste wasn't satisfying and with each cup it was either too strong or weak. Blaine gripped the paper cup in the canteen as he mulled over the scene that had taken place. He wanted to protect Kurt not have him sent to hospital.

Finn had hoisted Kurt into the truck when he had blacked out and Blaine jumped in with- the other New Direction boys' following in their own cars to support the mute boy. Burt and Carole had arrived not long after and sent the boys' into the waiting room to wait for further news as they spoke to doctors' and nurses' to find out what the hell went on.

The chair squealed against the tiled floor as Finn pulled it out to sit then cause a more harsh noise as he pulled it in. Blaine looked up to the boy's goofy face somehow hoping that he would have a grin across it and saying that Kurt was ok but flinching when Finn looked deep in thought. It was quiet for at least ten minutes with Blaine's coffee going cold- the steam escaping through the lid.

"Who's Karofsky?" Blaine said it quietly but it had caught Finn's attention and his face looked stern, angry even. A side that Blaine hadn't seen of Finn. The taller boy sighed and wiped his face with his hand before leaning forwards after checking no one was around before he spoke.

"I'll tell you but you can't mention it to anyone. Puck will go nuts, the girls' with get upset and Kurt..." he gulped, "Kurt might get worse..." Blaine sat up not saying a word awaiting for Finn to re-compose himself and continue. "Karofsky was on the football team. He made Kurt's life a living hell, pushed him into lockers and slushied him alot... we thought the bullying was it but-

Blaine felt himself go numb, Finn was talking still but as he listened he found it hard to process the information. Now making his way to Kurt's bed he watched the mute boy try to sit up with wires attatched to his arms, he had tears cascading down his face and his heart broke when Kurt looked at him with concern. His slender fingers held his face as he tried to figure out why Blaine was crying- not caring how drowsy he was.

Blaine pulled him closer into a tight hug and peppered kisses in his hair before stroking the chestnut locks. "I know what he did Kurt...I know...It's ok..." Kurt felt his throat tighten, he wanted to be angry at the fact that Blaine knew...or even cry but with Blaine holding him and being able to hear his breathing steady and his hear thump against him Kurt snuggled into Blaine even more.

Blaine cared for him. He hadn't gone away when he found out and Kurt was happy for the first time in a long time. Burt stood from outside the room looking through the glass as Finn came up behind him, crying a bit and smiling at the smae time as he watched the two boys' hold each other. Burt knew that Finn had told him, he urged it and for once he was glad to play the pushy father, knowing that if he had told Blaine himself he would have lost his temper.

Ok so I was a bit mean and cut Finn off in mid- conversation. I want to make you guys' think and squirm a little ;)

Again try guessing what happened and let me know what you think of thw story. Who knows? in later chapters' I may introduce Sebastian...?
