"There, go ahead and get comfy, and I'll find something to eat and drink alright?" Kurt said, as he led Blaine to the couch and walked to the kitchen.

"Thank you" Blaine half whispered.

This whole thing obviously really got to Blaine. Kurt frowned as he tried to figure out what could have happened in the past, that could have caused Blaine to react so strongly to what happened.

Stuff like that happens to people every day, it had happened to Kurt before, and while it's unpleasant, disgusting and rather scary too, he had never seen anyone have such a strong reaction before. It scared Kurt to know that this probably was a reaction based on something from his past.

He found some leftovers from dinner the day before and heated some of it, while he went to the living room with some freshly made coffee.

"There you go, are you feeling any better?" Kurt asked as he placed a tray with the heated food and their drinks on the table in front of Blaine.

"Yeah, just a little tired" Blaine said and took a sip of his coffee, "thank you for this, and again, I'm really sorry about..." Blaine had gotten cut off by Kurt's hand, which was now clasped over his mouth.

Kurt looked sternly, but sincerely at him.

"No. No don't you dare apologise Blaine" Kurt said and removed his hand, "what happened wasn't your fault, there really isn't anything to apologise for okay?" Kurt added. Blaine looked down, not really knowing what to do, he felt embarrassed over what had happened, Kurt must think he's a freak after seeing his reaction to such a small thing.

"I am a little curious as to what caused your reaction though. I mean, stuff like that have happened to me too, and I've seen women slap men for doing that, but your reaction was, surprising, I guess" Kurt said, trying to be careful with his choice of words.

Blaine looked up at him with a slightly scared look, and Kurt turned slightly on the couch so he was completely face to face with Blaine.

"You don't have to tell me, but it's obvious the reaction was caused by something from your memory" he said and then reached out with his hand to cup Blaine's cheek, but quickly settled for the mans upper arm, "just know that I'm here okay? If you ever want or need to talk, just let me know and I'll be there, I promise" he said as earnestly as he could.

Tears gathered in Blaine's eyes as they darted around to any other place than Kurt's eyes, "I-I, I don't know what to say" he said and looked down to his hands, something that sounded like a small sob escaped from his lips.

Kurt felt his heart break for the man and gently brought him into his arms without thinking further about it.

"It's okay Blaine, you don't have to say anything, just know that I'm here, and that you can trust me okay?" Kurt said, "now, I think enough have happened today, so what do you say if I find my collection of Disney movies and musicals, and we choose a couple of those and just relax?" he asked releasing Blaine to look into his eyes smiling sweetly.

"Yeah, yeah that'd be nice" Blaine said and nodded slowly looking tired.

Blaine had gotten comfy on the couch, hugging a pillow to his chest and curled up adorably when Kurt came back with as many movies as possible.

Out of the huge stack of movies, they settled on The Little Mermaid, Moulin Rouge and Beauty and The Beast.

They sat on the couch, well into The Little Mermaid, when Blaine suddenly started talking, "I really hope you know how much your help today means to me" he said and looked up at Kurt from where he was half lying down.

"It's no problem really, I'd help any time" Kurt said, "I'm just scared I didn't help right though, I had no idea what to do" he added frowning.

"You did completely right, different things help different people. I've tried several times where people try to tell me to take deep breaths and calm down, but when you're so far out, it can pretty much be impossible to listen to do that" Blaine said, "what you did was perfect, and it obviously helped, it made me feel safe, and I can't thank you enough for that Kurt" he said.

"I just feel like it wasn't enough, like, I should have done something more about the guy who triggered it" and with that one thought, Kurt started rambling, "or I should have been able to help better with the attack, or gotten you away faster or mrph…" Blaine cut Kurt's rambling off with his hand while he shook his head.

"Are you crazy Kurt?" he asked, "what you did was perfect, you told me you had trouble dealing with people outside of the shop, still you stood up for me, you got me out of the train, away from people, and that does a lot too, not only because it was crowded, but also because the attacks embarrass me when people see it" He said in a small voice and looked away.

Kurt was about to say something, but Blaine beat him to it, putting his hands over Kurt's, "on top of that, you got me to calm down, you made me feel safe, and that counts for a lot".

Kurt looked down at their joined hands, a blush creeping over his cheeks, "I- I hated seeing you like that Blaine, it hurt, and not knowing what I was doing scared me" he said frowning, tears gathering in his eyes as he looked at Blaine.

"Hey, hey no, it's okay, I'm okay, and you did just right. I understand I probably freaked you out, and I'm really sorry. This has happened a lot to me, and I try to control it, but I can't always succeed" Blaine said, trying to catch Kurt's gaze, but Kurt looked down again. He cupped Kurt's cheek with his hand to get him to look at him, his heart broke as he saw a few tears that had escaped, "please don't cry, it's my fault" he let his hand fall to his lap again and looked down, " I- I've tried to learn to control it… I'll do better, I promise" he said hastily, hating himself for falling back to this self-conscious, insecure side he'd buried in the back of his mind for so long, but which he just couldn't escape.

"What?" Kurt said, looking, "why would you say something like that? This isn't your fault, it's clear that something happened to cause situations like that, and Blaine, I may not know what that was, but something like this can never be your fault" Kurt said, wiping a tear that had escaped Blaine's eye off of his cheek, letting his hand stay there, "and I'm only crying because it hurts me to see you like this, I- I really care about you Blaine, you mean so much to me" 'more than you know' Kurt adds in his head…

Blaine was at a loss for words. What did this mean? Kurt cared? Cared how?

No Blaine, stop, you're not worthy of him, why would he ever care? You're broken, a freak, you're bad for him.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Kurt asked, looking a little hurt.

Blaine looked at him shocked, "oh come on, I can almost hear the conversation you have with yourself, but Blaine, I'm serious, I really am, and I really hope I can make you believe me some day" Kurt said sincerely with his hand still on Blaine's cheek.

Tilting his head slightly he gave Blaine a soft but sad smile, trying to find the happiness that was hidden somewhere in Blaine's eyes that he adored so much.

"Thank you" Blaine whispered softly.

Later found Blaine asleep across the couch, with his head in Kurt's lap.

Kurt was threading his fingers through Blaine's soft curls, that had broken loose from the gel, looking sadly at the sleeping man, and wishing he could do something to get that precious smile back on the beautiful man's face, he'd do anything.

After a short while he fell asleep too, to the soft music of Beauty and The Beast.
