So Hey Guys!

First of all I know I updated earlier today but I have replaced the chapter with this one because it was a disappointing chapter, well that was what I felt and unfortunately a reader had been so disappointed in it also she didn't want to read anymore.

I appreciate her telling me her thoughts, I would like to dedicate this chapter to her and hopefully she likes this one better.

I know i'm happier with it.

Enjoy.

Encased in Blaine's strong arms, Kurt delved his face further into the crook of his neck, inhaling the strong scent of coffee and cinnamon as the gel-haired boy's tears rolled off his olive coloured cheek onto Kurt's porcelain one. After a while the strangled sobs they shared had calmed into slow breathing as Blaine's hand made it's way from Kurt's back to the back of his head to play with his chestnut locks in comfort, his other hand rubbing his hip in circular motions.

Kurt's nose tickled his neck but Blaine didn't mind. Kurt hadn't looked up at him once, both had their focus on Kurt's slender fingers on his shirt which clenched the fabric softly every now and again like a baby before Blaine finally dared to look at his friend through blurry vision which swept away at the movement, the tears falling away as their noses met. He noted the plumpness of the fragile boy's lips as he had clearly bitten them once again making a dark red tint stain them as they panted out, slightly open with his tongue slightly grazing them to add some moisture.

Blaine felt his dry lips peel apart as he opened his mouth a tad, their noses touching and breathing against each other. He froze, Kurt had brought his hand up from his chest to cup his cheek lightly before straying a lone finger on his lips.

Blaine found himself staring from Kurt's lips to his bright blue eyes which bore into his own in understanding, moving closer he pressed his lips lightly onto Kurt's and hesitated before he felt Kurt press his lips firmly against his. He braved grazing Kurt's bottom lip with his tongue and felt his body slump in relief when Kurt respoded by allowing him to explore his mouth, slow in an innocent kiss in which they learnt about each other in a different way.

When they pulled away Kurt looked at Blaine with something that could never have been descibed as lust but a look of sheer adoration, adoration he reciprocated from Kurt's view.

"I refuse to let you get hurt again...I'll keep you safe..." his words were barely over a whisper but Kurt could hear the small statement whilst he edged closer to his chest to listen to the shorter boy's heartbeat before falling to sleep soundly.

It had been a week since Kurt had had his panic attack and he hadn't returned to Dalton due to Burt being worried about his son. Blaine would make the long drive over and stay for dinner and reside in Kurt's room for hours until he had to make way back to Dalton so he didn't meet curfew. Burt sat on the sofa with a beer in one hand and Finn next to him watching the game, only he wasn't watching the game... In all honesty he couldn't give a damn if they won tonight and decided to take a walk up to his son's room.

The door was open by demand and Kurt had never questioned his authority over the matter, standing near the doorframe his heart warmed at the sight. Any normal teenagers he would expect to be rolling around on the bed but Kurt and Blaine were doing no such thing.

The room had alot of floor space and the cream carpet was littered with sheets of newspaper as both boys' had moved the bed so they could set out the paints' accordingly in groups of colours and tones to make it easier to find the hue they wanted. Kurt was sat in Blaine's lap who leaned back as Kurt had leant forward to add more dashes of orange onto the canvas before Blaine reaches back to get a pot of burnt red and apply some hiself, leaning forward with his chin on Kurt's shoulder as he placed his hand near the other boy's, moving the paint in circular moments and smileing widely.

Burt smiled to himself and took his cap off as he wiped rubbed his eyes. Walking into the kitchen he came behind Carole and hugged her behind whilst she was doing the dishes, "And what do I owe the pleasure?" she giggled as she leant back and gave her husband a small kiss as he started to sway her a bit. "I went to check on the boys..." Carole arched her eyebrow and took off her washing gloves to turn around and give him a confused look.

"And...?"

"Kurt's painting- with Blaine..." Carole laughed and patted her husband on the chest before he also laughed and hugged her. "Is that a bad thing love?" He shook his head and smiled once more, "He hasn't painted with anyone since his Mom...I tried when he was a kid but he wouldn't have any of it..." Carole retracted from his embrace and went back to the dishes humming.

"The boy's are good together Burt, I don't think you'll be getting the shotgun out any time soon."

Wes watched his friend the whole week and it hadn't made sense. Kurt had been in hospital for a panic attack and wasn't allowed back to school for a week and 5 days in, Blaine had a massive grin plastered on his face as he typed away on his phone for the millionth time today! He half expected Blaine to be slumped feeling guilty for Kurt and wallowing in sadness.

Blaine was keeping something from him.

He had sussed out that much and with Aisling and David telling him that they had had positive news from Blaine about Kurt, the Warblers' had a hard time finding out what was going on. So the burn of the coffee on his lips hadn't really affected Wes with his focus being on Blaine or many other things as the boy's ran around to get ready as Kurt was coming back today.

Puck had driven up with Finn and helped Kurt out of the backseat in which the slender boy shooed his hand away as he clearly didn't need the help. He was in his Dalton uniform and Finn was in the process of taking his suitcases filled with more clothes into the lobby of Peridot.

"Kurt! You're back man!" Leon pulled Kurt close into a 'Bro-hug' before the others' proceeded to do so with excited words and even Aisling had given him a massive hug and welcomed him back warmly. Blaine appeared at the door with his hair perfectly gelled back and not a wrinkle on his uniform but a gentle smile on his face, moving through the crowd of show chir singers' he pulled Kurt tenderly by the hand.

Kurt's arms leaned on Blaine's shoulders and crossed behind as Blaine drew him in for a sweet kiss and allowed their noses to rub a tiny bit. Wes grinned, so that was it- Kurt was gay and now they were together. Puck leant on the truck with his arms crossed, scoffing and rolling his eyes before smiling at the sight of Kurt's smiling face to a point that he could have matche Finn for the goofy smiles.

"Wait...you're gay?"

"And...together?"

Trent aand Aisling had dared to speak up one after the other causing Blaine to crrok his neck around to look from the corner of his eye as Kurtrested his head on his shoulder, turning red but smiling broadly and shaking his head affirmative- It had been a delayed reaction but they had all cheered loudly.

"It's ABOUT TIME!" David roared slapping the two boy's on the shoulders when they finally broke apart, Kurt looked more confused than Blaine, "Oh COME ON, we ALL knew!" he gestured to Aisling and Trent who nodded even though they posed the questions' not long before.

Kurt crossed his arms the uncrossed one to point to both of them accusingly with his head cocked to one side. "We just wanted confirmation! From the horses mouth!" They all began to laugh and Kurt found himself swinging in an embrace with Blaine as they said goodbye to Finn and Puck and the Warblers' retreated inside.

On the door step they remained close and quiet before Kurt drew back. His lups pursed and he looked like he was going to be sick, this caused Blaine to panic but Kurt holded his hand up for him to stay put.

"B-Bla-Blaa-inee" The speech was broken but for the first time Blaine had heard Kurt's voice, his sweet angelic voice and he found himself crying with happiness at how proud he was of Kurt who beamed widely, obviously quite proud of himself also.

So I put some Burt/Carole in there. I love Carole, I think as a step-mom shes awesome and Burt is such an amazing man himself I felt the need to have a moment with them.

So Kurt finally spoke!

yeah...

read and review guys and I apologize once more with all the trouble with the chaptes and hopefully you prefer this one,
