Hey guys! I think I finished this chapter in record time :) granted I've been sitting in a car for days at a time with nothing to do, but either way, here it is!
Personally, this is one of my favorite chapters so far, and I'm sure most of you *cough cough* Tricia *cough cough* will think so too ;) I'm so excited for your feedback!
So, once again, thank you to my wonderful, amazing, beautiful, organic friend Tricia! You'll never understand how much you've helped me. You're the best!
I feel like my authors notes are always really long lol but I can't think of anything else to put in this one, other than that I'm having a great time up here in the north west. All I have to say about it, is that I'll never live here. I'm currently in a hotel in some random town in Minnesota, surrounded by cornfields. I can't wait to get back to Chicago tomorrow! It's been a great trip though.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and please please please review! I live for your reviews! Enjoy!
(I do NOT own Glee! If I did, you'd all probably hate it lol)
Together We Are
Chapter 13
There You Are
"Hey Jeff," Blaine called from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah?" Jeff asked.
"Have you seen Kurt?"
Jeff walked out of the kitchen, followed by Nick, both covered in soap bubbles. "No, why?"
"He's not in his room," Blaine said. Then he walked to the window. "His car is here though."
"I'm sure he's just somewhere on campus. Don't get too worked up about it Blaine," Jeff said, turning around to glare at Nick, who was rubbing soap through his hair.
Blaine laughed but he wasn't fully enjoying the sight and he wouldn't until Kurt was back.
"Hey Blaine," Brian said, walking up behind him.
"Hey," Blaine answered dully.
"You alright?" Brian asked.
"Yeah." He turned and walked off towards his room.
Brian shrugged and walked down to the kitchen. The second he rounded the corner, a soapsud hit him in the face and he yelped.
Nick and Jeff started laughing hysterically.
"Hey guys," Brian said, walking into the kitchen. "What's wrong with Blaine?"
The two boys stopped fighting for a moment.
"He's worried about Kurt. His car is in the parking lot, but he's not here," Jeff said.
"Don't you think we should look for him," Brian suggested.
Jeff sighed. "Okay, I'm going to take a shower, and if he's not back when I get out, we'll go looking for him."
Brian nodded and watched Jeff walk upstairs and Nick follow behind him.
"Oh, it's alright. I'll just clean up your mess," Brian yelled after them.
Jeff turned around, smiling. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Brian glared at him and then started cleaning.
After an hour of searching, they hadn't found anything and Blaine was becoming more and more worried by the minute.
"Blaine," Jeff said, forcing him to sit on a bench in one of the courtyards. "We'll find him. It's gonna be okay."
Blaine nodded, but still didn't look convinced. He took a deep breath and stood up.
"Try calling him again," Brian suggested.
Blaine pulled out his phone for the tenth time. "It's no use," he mumbled. "Straight to voicemail again," he said after a few seconds.
Jeff sighed. "Let's split up and look again."
"They'll find you," Kurt groaned, leaning his head back against the wall.
"Ha! And do what?" Sebastian asked.
Kurt turned his head to the side so he couldn't see him.
Sebastian kneeled down next to Kurt. "You're really beautiful, you know that? Even with the black eye."
Kurt tried to turn his head away more.
Sebastian smiled. He pushed Kurt's legs down and crawled on top of him. "Look at me."
Kurt reluctantly turned his head back so he was facing him.
Sebastian leaned towards him and kissed him, moaning against his lips.
Kurt tried to pull back, but he was all the way against the wall, so he couldn't.
"Come closer," Sebastian whispered, pulling Kurt off the wall. He leaned down to kiss him again, sliding his tongue in his mouth this time, moaning again.
Someone cleared their throat from a few feet away.
"What?" Sebastian barked.
"Sorry, but um, they're getting closer," said a tall dark haired boy.
"Well get rid of them. You're smart enough to figure something out right?" Sebastian asked.
"I guess," he said.
"Good, now leave Douglas," Sebastian said rudely.
With one last glance, Douglas left.
"Now, where were we?" Sebastian asked sweetly, running his hands through Kurt's hair. He leaned towards him again, but started kissing down his neck this time.
Kurt stiffened and moved back against the wall again.
"Shh, just relax," Sebastian whispered, unbuttoning Kurt's shirt. He yanked it off and rubbed his hands down his sides, moving his fingers to Kurt's pants.
"It's alright," Sebastian whispered again, kissing him again, harder this time. He started unzipping Kurt's pants and then pulled back to smile at him. "I think it'll make Blaine jealous if I take you from him, don't you? Maybe he'll even hate you."
"He just went that way," Brian pointed down an alley.
Blaine and Brian were walking through the old school buildings that weren't used anymore. They had seen Douglas running down one of the alleys and they were chasing him, hoping that he would lead them to Kurt.
Blaine looked into one of the buildings just in time to see Sebastian standing up and running after Douglas.
"Wait! Blaine! Where are you going?" Brian yelled, turning to follow him into the building.
Blaine ran to where Kurt was lying on the floor. He kneeled down beside him and pulled him up, wrapping his arms around him.
Kurt hugged him back and held on to him as if he were about to fall.
Brian ran down the hallway to where Sebastian had disappeared.
"Are you alright?" Blaine asked. "Did he hurt you?"
Kurt just started crying and hugged Blaine tighter.
"Shh, you're safe now. I'm right here," Blaine whispered, kissing his hair.
A few minutes later, Nick, Jeff, and Brian came in from the other end of the hall.
"They're gone," Nick said, completely out of breath.
Blaine pulled away and unzipped his hoodie and took it off, placing it around Kurt's shoulders.
"Come on let's go-" Blaine started to say, but stopped when he saw Kurt's eye. "Oh my god, that bastard," he said, laying a hand on the side of Kurt's face.
"I'm fine Blaine, I've had worse," Kurt said quietly.
Blaine kissed his forehead lightly and then pulled him up. He wrapped one arm around Kurt's waist and took his hand with the other.
They walked silently back to Simul. And when they got back, Blaine started walking to Kurt's room.
"Can we go to your room?" Kurt asked quietly.
"Of course," Blaine said, turning and walking into his room.
Kurt walked straight to Blaine's bed and laid down. He curled up and started shaking.
Blaine walked into his closet and pulled out a comforter and then laid down on the bed, pulling the comforter over both of them and pulling Kurt towards him.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Blaine asked softly.
Kurt nodded slightly and curled farther into Blaine. "Just don't leave," he whispered.
Blaine looked at him sadly. "Of course not. I'm right here Kurt."
Kurt shifted and buried his head in Blaine's chest.
Blaine pulled out his phone and called Jeff.
"Hello?" Jeff asked slowly, slightly confused as to why Blaine was calling him.
"Hey, could you bring me some ice wrapped in a paper towel and a bottle of water?" Blaine asked.
"Um, yeah sure," Jeff said.
"And maybe a cup of coffee," Blaine added, feeling Kurt shake even more.
"Alright. I'll be up there in a few."
Blaine hung up and then looked at Kurt.
A few minutes later, Jeff came in and set the coffee and water on the table and handed Blaine the ice. He laid a hand on Kurt's shoulder and he flinched at the touch.
"Shh," Blaine whispered. He looked up at Jeff and sighed. "Thank you," he mouthed, holding up the ice.
Jeff nodded and walked off.
"Kurt?" Blaine asked quietly.
"Mhm?"
"Will you lift your head up for me please?"
Kurt reluctantly lifted his head up to look at Blaine.
Blaine took a piece of ice and wrapped it in the paper towel. He gingerly placed it next to Kurt's eye and took his hand as he winced.
"It'll help it, I promise," Blaine said quietly.
Kurt nodded and looked into Blaine's eyes.
Blaine watched as a single tear fell from Kurt's eye, and he looked away. "Will you tell me what happened?" he asked.
Kurt looked up slowly and Blaine immediately squeezed his hand. "I was walking back here from my car last night, and he stopped me in the parking lot and he took me back to that building that you found us in. I tried to get away, but then this happened." He gestured to his eye.
Blaine laid a hand on the side of his face and stroked his cheek with his thumb.
Kurt closed his eyes and relaxed a little. "He left me alone most of the night. He just kept saying how it was your fault and that this was how you were going to pay for 'it'. Do you know what that means?"
Blaine sighed. "He thinks that I chased Blue away, and that's who he was trying to get to, so now I guess he's not only trying to hurt me, but you too," he said quietly, squeezing Kurt's hand.
Kurt looked away, and then kept going. "But this morning, this guy, I think his name was Douglas?"
Blaine nodded.
"Well he showed up and Sebastian told him to find you. When he left, Sebastian crawled on top of me and he told me I was beautiful and he started kissing me, and he-," Kurt stopped, trying not to cry.
"Shh, you don't have to keep going," Blaine whispered.
Kurt looked away and Blaine squeezed his eyes shut for a moment and bit his lip, trying to control himself.
Blaine moved the ice from Kurt's face and set it next to the water. Then he pulled Kurt closer and held him.
"He's never going to get that close to you again," Blaine whispered.
Kurt relaxed into Blaine's touch, and fell asleep soon after.
Blaine slowly moved his arms from around Kurt, and carefully got off the bed. He wrapped the comforter around him tighter and then leaned down to kiss his forehead.
He walked out and closed the door quietly. Then he walked down stairs and sat down on the floor, pulling his knees to his chest, and started crying.
A few minutes later, Jeff walked in and when he saw him, he immediately went to him and sat down next to him.
"What happened?" Jeff asked, brushing the curls back from Blaine's face.
Blaine took a deep breath to calm himself down. "He tried to rape Kurt."
Jeff swallowed, trying not to get angry.
"I'm gonna kill him," Blaine said, sitting up and trying to stand up. "I'm gonna kill that bastard."
"No, no, no you're not. Blaine, I understand that you're angry. Trust me. When I found you on that beach and when you told me what happened, I was so ready to go find him and kick his sorry ass. But first of all, that would be a terrible idea, but I wasn't gonna leave you there. And right now, Kurt needs you to be there for him. So, you need to go back upstairs, and be with him, okay?"
Blaine wiped the remaining tears from his eyes and nodded. Then he reached down and hugged Jeff. "Thank you," he whispered.
Jeff pulled back and smiled. "Of course."
Blaine smiled back and then stood up and walked back upstairs.
"That was sweet," Nick said, walking out of the kitchen and wrapping his arms around Jeff.
Jeff smiled and hugged him back.
"You're sweet," Nick added.
Jeff leaned down and kissed him gently. "And you're a good kisser."
Nick smiled and leaned up to kiss him again. "I love you," he whispered against his lips.
"Then prove it," Jeff said, laying down on the couch and pulling Nick on top of him.
Nick laughed and leaned down to kiss him, tangling his fingers in his blonde hair.
Blaine walked back in his room and got back on the bed slowly. He pulled the comforter up and laid down next to Kurt.
"Blaine?" Kurt asked softly.
"Yeah, it's me," Blaine replied. "Will you do something for me?"
Kurt opened his eyes and looked at him questioningly.
Blaine reached over him and grabbed the bottle of water. "Drink this," he said quietly, opening the bottle and handing it to him.
Kurt sat up and took the bottle from him.
Blaine watched him drink and then took it back from him when he was finished. "Are you alright?"
Kurt looked up at him and then turned over and curled up into Blaine.
Blaine sighed and wrapped his arm around his waist. He took his hand and intertwined their fingers, trying to pull him closer.
"Just relax Kurt. You're safe, I promise," Blaine whispered, feeling how tense he was.
Kurt squeezed his hand and relaxed a little. A few minutes later he relaxed and Blaine looked down to see that he had fallen asleep.
"I'm hopelessly in love with you," Blaine whispered, kissing his cheek.
The next morning, Kurt and Blaine walked to class together.
"You know you don't have to go if you don't want to," Blaine said quietly.
"I know, but I want to," Kurt replied, giving Blaine a smile that he completely saw through.
Blaine sighed. "You're really stubborn, you know that?"
Kurt laughed. "I've been told."
Blaine just shook his head and kept walking.
At lunch, Kurt came to sit with Blaine, Nick, and Jeff like he usually did.
As he sat down, he took Blaine's hand.
Blaine turned towards him. "Are you okay?" he whispered.
"Yeah, why?" Kurt asked.
"You're shaking like crazy," Blaine answered, looking down at their hands.
Kurt just took a deep breath and looked away.
Blaine sighed and looked up, though he didn't look away from Kurt for the rest of lunch.
"Is everything alright?" Jeff asked as they walked to class together after lunch.
"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.
"You and Kurt whispered about something and you didn't stop staring at him after that."
"Oh. We were, um, holding hands and I could feel him shaking really bad. And he said he was okay, but he didn't stop shaking," Blaine said sadly.
"He'll tell you if he's not okay Blaine," Jeff said softly.
"I know, I'm just worried about him. I mean, I remember how I felt after, that night. I was terrified and I couldn't sleep," Blaine whispered.
Jeff nodded. "I know. I remember. You had nightmares almost every night."
Blaine looked away. "But he slept last night, and now he's going to class like nothing happened."
"You were with him last night though, weren't you?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, so?"
"So, he had someone there with him. He knows he's safe with you," Jeff answered.
"But this happened because of me," Blaine mumbled.
Jeff stopped walking and pushed Blaine into a chair that they walked past. He kneeled down in front of him, placing his hands on his knees and staring up at him.
"Blaine, I want you to listen to me very carefully, okay?"
Blaine nodded.
"What happened, is not your fault. First of all, you weren't even with him at the time. And second, Sebastian said it was because you chased Blue away, right? You didn't chase Blue away, if anything you kept him here longer."
Blaine had tears in his eyes and he turned away as Jeff finished talking.
"It's not your fault, do you understand that?" Jeff asked.
Blaine nodded again.
"Don't beat yourself up about this," Jeff said quietly. "It's gonna be okay. He's gonna be okay."
Blaine stood up and hugged him briefly.
Jeff smiled. "Come on, let's go to class."
"Hey Blaine," David said later that night.
"Yeah?" Blaine asked. He didn't like David's tone.
"Your birthday is this Friday, right?" David asked.
Blaine closed his eyes and sighed. "Yeah," he whispered. He felt Kurt perk up at that. They were sitting on the downstairs couch together and Kurt was curled up next to Blaine, who was holding him.
David smiled evilly. "Good."
"Oh god," Blaine groaned. "I'm going to bed." He got up and started walking to the stairs, and Kurt followed behind him.
"Blaine?" Kurt asked quietly when they got back to their living room.
Blaine turned around and raised his eyebrows.
"C- can I sleep in your room again tonight?" Kurt asked quietly.
Blaine smiled and reached out to take his hand. "Of course."
Kurt smiled and followed behind him.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked once they laid down together.
Kurt nodded. "I just don't wanna be alone."
Blaine hugged him close. "You're not," he said, kissing his hair.
The rest of the week passed the same. Kurt and Blaine walked to and from class together and Kurt slept in Blaine's room every night.
Friday afternoon, Kurt told Blaine he was going home to see Rachel, so Blaine went up to his room to study for some tests that he had the next week.
He was downstairs fixing himself a cup of coffee when he heard a light knock on the door.
"Come in," Blaine yelled.
He looked up as the door opened and saw a short, light haired boy walking in.
"James," Blaine said happily. "I haven't seen you in a while. How are you liking Dalton."
"It's awesome, I love it," James replied.
Good," Blaine said smiling. "So, what's up? Did you need something?"
"Oh, well, I was actually coming to thank you for the day we met," James said quietly.
Blaine walked over to him. "You don't need to thank me for that James."
James smiled up at him.
"Is there something else?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, um, can you come downstairs for a second?" James asked.
"Yeah, sure," Blaine said, following James out of the room, curious as to what James was going to show him. "What are we-"
"Surprise!" Blaine jumped back as all of the boys jumped out and screamed at him.
"Oh my gosh," Blaine said quietly. Then he turned to James. "You did this," he said, laughing.
James laughed too. "Yeah," he said, nodding.
Jeff walked up to him. "Happy birthday Blaine," he said, hugging him.
"Thanks Jeff, this is awesome," Blaine said, looking around at all the balloons and streamers everywhere.
Jeff laughed and then made room for the rest of the boys to get to him.
A little while later, Blaine got to Kurt.
"Hey, I thought you were going to Rachel's," Blaine said as Kurt walked up to him.
Kurt laughed. "I was never planning on going to Rachel's, I've been down here helping set up."
Blaine tried to glare at him, but failed miserably and started laughing. "Come here," he said, pulling Kurt into his arms.
"Happy Birthday," Kurt whispered in his ear
"Mm, thank you," Blaine replied, relaxing into Kurt's arms.
Kurt pulled back and smiled. "Let's join the party," he said, gesturing to all the dancing boys.
Blaine followed behind him to go dance.
All of the boys were having a good time, including Dustin, which surprised Blaine since he never seemed happy.
Around seven o'clock, the doorbell rang and Jeff went to answer it. He opened the door and Santana walked in.
"Hello?" Jeff said slowly. "Can I help y-"
She walked past him and stopped, looking around.
"Sure you can come in," Jeff said to himself, trying to close the door, but just as he did, two other girls walked in. Jeff stared at them for a moment. "You're with her?" he asked, gesturing to Santana.
"Hi, I'm Brittany," said one of the girls.
The other girl walked in, looking around and frowning. "Santana," she called.
"What?"
"I shouldn't be here, I need to go," she said, looking at Jeff and around at the other boys in the room.
"No, please stay," Santana begged. "You're in a room full of guys."
"Yeah, a room full of guys who all have every reason to hate me. You didn't tell me that we were going to be in this dorm," she said, loud enough that Jeff heard her.
"Wait. Why should we all hate you?" Jeff asked.
"Look, Quinn. You either get over yourself, or leave, okay? I'm gonna go talk to the birthday boy. Blaine!" Santana called over the music.
"Santana! What are you doing here?" Blaine asked, walking to her and hugging her.
"I came to wish you a happy birthday," she said as though it was obvious. "And I brought Quinn and Brittany too." She gestured to the two girls that came in behind her, though Quinn was still talking to Jeff.
"Well join the party," Blaine said smiling.
"Santana!" Kurt shouted.
"Hey Kurt," Santana said, smiling at him. Her smile faded when she saw his eye. "What happened to your eye?" she asked.
Kurt looked away.
"It's okay Kurt. You don't have to tell me," she said quietly.
"Just please don't tell anyone," Kurt begged.
"Your secrets safe with me," she promised. "As long as you're safe."
"I'm safe," Kurt said as Blaine took his hand.
Santana nodded and smiled when she saw their hands.
"Hey Blaine?" Kurt asked when Santana and Brittany left to dance with some of the guys.
"Yeah?" Blaine asked, turning to him and smiling.
"Can we go upstairs for a second?"
Blaine smiled. "Yeah, sure," he said, taking Kurt's hand and pulling him along.
They walked upstairs and into their hallway.
"Go wait in your room," Kurt said.
"Yes sir," Blaine said, laughing. He walked into his room and sat down on his bed, waiting.
A few minutes later, Kurt came back and sat down beside him and handed him a box. "Happy birthday," he said, smiling.
"Oh Kurt, you didn't have to," Blaine said quietly.
"Yes I did. Open it."
Blaine smiled, pulling the bow off and opening it. It was a red and gold stripped bow tie. Blaine looked up at Kurt. "How did you know I would love this?"
Kurt laughed. "Well, the other night I sorta saw all the Harry Potter books and movies on your shelves, and your poster. And I saw the box of bow ties in your bathroom."
Blaine smiled and reached out to hug him. "Thank you," he whispered.
Kurt pulled back after a few minutes and smiled back.
Blaine stood up and picked up the box, walking to his bathroom. He picked up the box of bow ties from a shelf and putting the little box in it. Right before he closed the box, his eyes landed on a folded piece of paper.
He picked it up and unfolded it. It was the letter Blue had written to him. He read it and then folded it back up and tucked it in the bottom of the box. Then he put the box back on the shelf and walked back out to Kurt.
Kurt smiled up at him as he walked in.
Blaine sat down next to him again and stared at him.
Kurt was taken aback by his stance and looked at him in confusion.
"Kurt," Blaine started, taking a deep, shaky breath and remembering what Blue said. He took his hand carefully and then started saying what he had wanted to for weeks. "There comes a moment when you say to yourself, 'oh, there you are, I've been looking for you forever'. I don't think I ever had that moment, it's more that I've been realizing that over the past few weeks. When I first saw you at McKinley, I remember thinking, that was me at my old school and we could be really good friends. When we met for the first time, you were so much more than I imagined. And you've been there for me during times that you didn't even know what was going on.
"These past few weeks, I've wanted so badly to tell you how I feel." He paused, taking another shaky breath. "I'm falling head over heels in love with you Kurt. And I don't want to spend another second without you." He moved towards him slowly to make sure he wouldn't back up. When he didn't move, Blaine closed the distance between them and kissed him.
Kurt gripped Blaine's hand and kissed him back.
Blaine pulled back after a few seconds and smiled.
"Blaine?" Kurt asked softly, a little out of breath.
"Hmm?" Blaine asked, taking Kurt's other hand.
"I'm falling in love with you too," Kurt answered quietly.
Blaine smiled. He scooted closer to Kurt so their bodies were right up against each other. Then he leaned in to kiss him again.
"Do you wanna know something?" Blaine asked, pulling back again.
Kurt raised his eyebrows.
"Sebastian was right about one thing," Blaine said quietly.
Kurt stared at him in disbelief.
"You're beautiful," he said, laying his hands on the side of Kurt's face, leaning over to kiss him once again.
Kurt was the one to pull back this time. He was breathing hard, and he was shaking.
"Kurt, are you alright?" Blaine asked softly, taking his hands again.
"You give me butterflies," Kurt answered quietly.
Blaine smiled. He moved his hands to Kurt's waist and pulled his face right in front of his. He grazed his lips against Kurt's, and slid his hands down to his thighs.
"That's not fair," Kurt said, shivering and barely forming his sentence.
Blaine laughed. He kissed him, parting his lips slightly. "Yes it is," he whispered. He pulled back and wrapped his arms around him.
"We should get back downstairs," Kurt said after a few minutes.
"Mmmm," Blaine moaned. "You're right."
They both stood up and walked towards the door.
Blaine stopped Kurt's hand from opening it, and he pulled him into a hug.
Kurt hugged him back, smiling to himself.
Blaine sighed and laid his head on Kurt's shoulder, closing his eyes.
"We should go," Kurt whispered in his ear, pulling back.
Blaine nodded and reached out to take Kurt's hand and intertwine their fingers.
They walked downstairs together and it turned out that no one was looking for them, or had even noticed they were gone. Santana and Brittany were distracting most of the boys in the middle of the room still, and the rest of them were having their own conversation near the kitchen.
"Where have you two been?" Jeff asked, laughing as they walked up to him.
"He wanted to give me my birthday present," Blaine said, squeezing Kurt's hand which he was still holding.
Jeff smiled and rolled his eyes.
The rest of the night passed quickly for Blaine. He talked to most of the guys and caught up with Santana and Brittany.
"So, we should probably get going," Santana said around eleven.
"Yeah, but thanks for coming, it was great to see you guys," Blaine said, hugging her when they got to the door. "Just don't get caught," he warned.
Santana laughed. "Me? Get caught? Ha!"
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Goodnight Santana," he said, closing the door behind her and Brittany.
"Oh my god," Blaine whispered, looking around at the mess.
"Don't worry about it," Jeff said. "You go on up to bed, we'll take care of it."
Blaine smiled. "Thanks guys, you're the best friends anyone could ask for," he said, hugging them all.
"Goodnight Blaine," Jeff said, pointing to the stairs.
"Goodnight guys," Blaine said, taking Kurt's hand and pulling him upstairs too.
"Do you still want to sleep in my room?" Blaine asked quietly.
Kurt frowned, nodding.
"It's okay, Kurt. I understand," Blaine said, pulling him into his room.
They sat down on the bed together and Blaine watched him.
"Are you alright?" Blaine asked.
Kurt hesitated. "I just get really scared sometimes," he answered as quietly as he could.
"That's okay," Blaine whispered. "But you know you're safe here, right?"
Kurt nodded.
Blaine pulled him on the bed and they laid down together. "Good. Because as long as you're with me, I won't let him touch you."
Kurt closed his eyes and a single tear fell.
Blaine quickly kissed it away, and then leaned in to kiss him sweetly.
When they finally pulled away, Kurt curled up into Blaine, who held him there. "Shhh," Blaine whispered as he started shaking again. "You're safe. It's okay."
It didn't calm Kurt down as it usually did, but he eventually stopped shaking, and when Blaine looked down he was asleep.
Blaine sighed. He leaned down to kiss Kurt as softly as he could, and then snuggled closer to him, falling asleep too.
Blaine woke up the next morning to find an empty bed. He looked around and didn't see Kurt anywhere, so he got up to look for him.
When he didn't find him in his room, he went downstairs. He found David sitting on the couch.
"Hey, have you seen Kurt?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, he was down here a little while ago. He just left. He said he was going for a walk and that he wanted to be alone," David answered.
Blaine sighed. He walked to the kitchen and poured a cup of coffee and then took off his hoodie to put on his jacket. Then he walked outside to find Kurt.
He didn't have to look far. He found him in the closest garden, just sitting up against a wall, staring at a flower.
Blaine sat down next to him slowly and wrapped his hoodie around Kurt's shoulders.
"Are you okay?" Blaine asked softly.
Kurt just stared forward.
"Do you wanna be alone?"
Kurt shook his head slowly.
Blaine scooted as close as he could and wrapped his arm around Kurt's shoulder and took his hand with the other.
They sat that way for what felt like hours.
"Will you tell me what's wrong?" Blaine asked.
Kurt took a deep breath. "When I told you wh- what Sebastian did, or was going to do, I didn't tell you that he was going to do it to make you jealous," he said quietly.
Blaine shook his head. "Kurt-"
Kurt cut him off. "He said you would hate me," he whispered.
Blaine gasped a little. He leaned over to him and kissed him deeply.
"I could never hate you Kurt. No matter what he would have done to you," Blaine said. "If he had, I would still be siting here, holding you, and I would still be kissing you," he said softly, leaning up to kiss him again, softer and sweeter this time. "Do you understand?" he asked against his lips.
Kurt nodded.
Blaine went to stand up, but Kurt pulled him back.
"You okay?" Blaine asked, sitting back down.
Kurt nodded, but snuggled back against Blaine.
Blaine sighed and pulled him closer. "Kurt," he said after a few minutes. "It's freezing out here. We should go back inside."
Kurt sat up a little and Blaine helped him stand up.
"Come here," Blaine whispered, pulling Kurt into his arms. "It's alright."
Kurt sighed and relaxed a bit.
Blaine pulled back and took Kurt's hand and then handed him his cup of coffee. "Let's go."
Kurt walked as close to Blaine as he could.
They got back to find Jeff looking for them. "Where have you been?"
"Geez, nosey much?" Blaine asked, laughing.
"You've been gone for like two hours," Jeff said.
"Really?" Blaine asked. "Well, I guess you'll just have to keep wondering."
Jeff rolled his eyes and watched them walk upstairs.
"Where do you think they were?" Jeff asked Nick.
"I don't know where they were, but Kurt looked like he had been crying," Nick said quietly.
Jeff sighed. "I wish he hadn't been dragged into this."
"I wish Blaine hadn't been either," Nick said.
"I can't take this much longer. When is he going to stop?"
Nick reached out and took Jeff's hand. "We'll get through this Jeff."
Jeff took his other hand and pulled him close with it, and kissed him. "Together?" he asked softly.
"Together," Nick repeated, pulling him closer and kissing him again.
"Hey guys! Listen up! Blaine has something for you," Kimmy yelled.
"So, last week was a little crazy. And I have song that I'd like to sing to a special someone in here," Blaine said, smiling at Kurt. "It's an original song and it's called Not Alone." He walked over to the piano and sat down.
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see
Baby, you're not alone
'Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
'Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...
Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Everytime I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me...
And you tell me:
Baby, you're not alone
'Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
'Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...
Kurt was staring at him. He didn't understand how he could have gotten so lucky as to find someone like this.
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes...
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize...
Baby, I'm not alone
'Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
'Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through...
Oh, 'cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing
Can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need
To make it through...
Blaine stood up and walked over to Kurt. He pulled him up and kissed him deeply.
Jeff and Nick looked at each other in surprise, but then smiled.
Kimmy was smiling too. She was happy that Blaine could finally be happy.
Kurt pulled back to look at Blaine. After staring at him for a few moments, he pulled him into a tight hug. "You're perfect," he whispered.
Blaine laughed.
"Okay boys," Kimmy said. "Let's talk regionals."
Kurt and Blaine took their seats, but neither payed any attention. Every time Kimmy asked Blaine a question, he just said, "Yeah, that sounds good."
"Okay, well, since our captain is paying zero attention right now, we'll talk more tomorrow. Everybody bring your ideas. Especially you Blaine," Kimmy said, smiling at him and Kurt.
Blaine laughed. "Sorry."
"It's okay," Kimmy said, laughing too. "I understand."
Blaine smiled and then took Kurt's hand, pulling him towards the door.
Nick and Jeff caught up with them a few minutes later.
"So when did this happen?" Jeff asked, smiling.
"Friday," Blaine said softly, smiling at Kurt.
Jeff rolled his eyes.
When they got back to Simul, they found Cameron and Brian on the couch talking to one of the girls that showed up at Blaine's party with Santana.
"Quinn? What are you doing here?" Kurt asked.
Quinn sighed.
"You guys should sit," Brian said.
The four looked at each other, but still sat.
"Blaine," Brian started. "Do you remember the night that Paige dropped off Lexi?"
Blaine looked at Kurt and closed his eyes. "Yeah."
"Do you remember the story that we told you? About Sebastian?"
Blaine nodded.
Brian gestured to Quinn, hoping he would understand.
Nick, Jeff, and Blaine all realized what he was talking about at the same time. Their eyes got wide and they all looked at each other.
"So that's why you said we should all hate you?" Jeff asked, staring at her.
Quinn looked down and nodded.
"Hold on," Kurt said, putting his hand up. "What are we talking about? I'm so lost."
Quinn looked up at him.
Brian tried to start explaining, but Quinn put her hand up.
"I should be the one to tell him this," she said quietly.
"Well, please do," Kurt said.
"First, please know that I'm really sorry for lying to you, to everybody. But you have to understand that I didn't want Finn to know that I cheated on him twice," Quinn said.
Kurt had his eyebrows raised.
"Puck isn't Beth's father," she said.
"What?" Kurt asked. "Then who is?"
Quinn looked away.
Blaine took Kurt's hand and moved closer to him.
"Sebastian," Quinn finally answered.
Kurt stared at her, wide eyed. "So, first you said it was Finn's, then you said it was Puck's, and now it's Sebastian's?"
Quinn nodded. "I'd understand if you didn't believe me."
"Oh no, I believe you, it's just-" He stopped. "Wait. Does Puck know it's not his?"
Quinn looked up. "No, he doesn't. And I'd appreciate if he wouldn't find out."
Kurt nodded.
"Hold on. You mean Puck as in Noah Puckerman?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, why?" Kurt asked.
"He never told me that?" Jeff said quietly.
Nick moved closer to him and took his hand.
Kurt stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"Kurt, wait!" Quinn said, standing up.
"Wait for what?" Kurt shouted at her. "You know, I felt sorry for you. But how dare you lie about that. Twice! And how dare you show up here and tell us that. I'm so done with your shit Quinn!" He turned and walked up the stairs.
"Kurt," Blaine said, running after him.
Quinn sat back down and started crying.
Cameron stood up and walked to her. "Hey, don't cry."
Quinn looked up. "You guys know he didn't used to be like he is now, right?" she asked.
"Yeah, we do. But he doesn't," Cameron said softly.
Quinn started crying more and leaned into Cameron.
Jeff stood up and rolled his eyes. "Come on," he whispered, pulling Nick up. "Let's let them be."

"I mean, did I ever have any really friends?" Kurt asked, pacing across his room.
Blaine sighed. "Kurt, don't think like that."
"But why? It's true!" Kurt yelled.
"Come here," Blaine said, patting the spot on the bed next to where he was sitting.
Kurt stopped pacing and walked over to him.
"It's okay Kurt," Blaine said.
Kurt relaxed and took Blaine's hand.
Blaine leaned up to him and kissed him gently.
Kurt moved closer to him, kissing him harder.
Blaine gasped a little. He moved his hands to Kurt's waist and pushed him down on the bed.
Kurt turned his head, trying to take a breath.
"You okay?" Blaine asked, his hands still gripping Kurt's waist.
Kurt pushed Blaine up and sat up too. He was still trying to catch his breath and Blaine smiled.
"Sorry," Blaine whispered. "I just can't help myself."
"It's okay," Kurt said softly.
Blaine smiled again. "Can I do it again?" he asked.
"Please?" Kurt whispered.
Together they fell back on the bed again, still kissing
