"Urrrrghh" Kurt moaned dropping his head onto the pile of homework that was laid on the desk before him, it had been a very long day and it wasn't anywhere near over as he had a long report to write before he could even think about sleeping.

"How's it going?" asked Blaine from his position on the other side of the desk.

"Kill me know" moaned Kurt his face still pressed into a copy of Macbeth.

"Not gonna happen" laughed Blaine, "How much have you got left to do?"

"Most of it" mumbled Kurt miserably lifting his head slightly so that he could meet his boyfriend's sympathetic gaze.

"Come on, tell me how far you've gotten" said Blaine reaching over his own homework and grabbing Kurt's report and copy of Macbeth, "we've been here a while, you must have done more than you think."

Taking a few minutes to read through the report Blaine brought his gaze back up to Kurt who was in fact staring out of the library window with a distant look on his face.

"Babe" he said softly to gain Kurt's attention.

"Yeah" he replied shaking his head slightly and turning his attention to Blaine.

"This is really good but you're right you do need to do more, sorry" he sympathized passing the report back to Kurt with an understanding smile.

Taking the report and placing it back on the desk Kurt leant back on his chair and stretched out his arms, flexing his long fingers in front of him and stretching his neck from side to side; pushing himself away from the desk and standing he flexed the muscles in his back as he pushed his hands behind him and closed his eyes in concentration, letting out a low moan, Kurt opened his eyes and his gaze met Blaine's who was looking at him with a glazed expression. Smirking and batting Blaine on the head as he moved over to the window Kurt stood and looked out across the darkening campus.

"How are you getting on?" he asked, not turning as he continued to look out of the window.

"Not bad" replied Blaine turning in his chair to stare after his boyfriend, "I should be done in about an hour but I'll stay until you're done" he smiled.

"You don't need to do that" Kurt smiled as he turned to look over his shoulder "I'm probably going to be here all night" he sighed.

"All the more reason for me to stay" laughed Blaine, "I don't want to spend my evening without you anyway so I'll keep you company."

Smiling Kurt turned back to the desk sighing heavily as he dropped back into his chair the smile falling from his face as he picked up his pen and attempted to return his attention to his report.

Blaine smiled gently as he returned to his own work and ducked his head in concentration. Neither boy spoke for quite some time although blazers were discarded to the backs of chairs and numerous balls of screwed up paper now littered the floor around Kurt's chair.

"Here you guys are" smiled Wes suddenly appearing next to their desk in the library.

"Jesus Wes" gasped Blaine dropping his pen as he jumped, "where the hell did you spring from?"

Kurt sniggered from the other side of the desk and Blaine shot him a wounded look.

"I've been looking for you guys, you missed dinner you know."

"Oh man seriously?" asked Blaine fishing his phone out of his blazer pocket to check the time and dropping back against his chair when he realized his friend was right.

"Seriously" nodded Wes "but David's still hungry so were going to order a pizza and wondered if you guys wanted in on it."

"God yes" nodded Blaine who was quickly picking up his pens and shoving them into his blazer.

Pushing his chair back from the desk Blaine stood and slung his blazer around his shoulders pushing his arms down the sleeves and bending quickly to scoop his bag from the floor.

"Kurt are you coming?" he asked when he realised that he had yet to move.

"No" he sighed "I really need to get this finished, you go though" he smiled "really, go, eat, just save me a slice of something reasonably healthy" he smiled fondly trying to encourage Blaine to go.

"Are you sure?" Blaine asked guiltily clearly torn between wanting to stay with Kurt and his now ravenous stomach.

"Absolutely" smiled Kurt "go."

"You are the best babe, I'll be back before you know it" said Blaine pecking him on the cheek before turning and leaving the library with Wes.

Kurt watched them until they were out of sight before returning his attention to the still unfinished report, he was fairly confident that he could finish it in another hour but he couldn't deny that he wasn't a little down heartened now that he was alone. It was pitch dark outside the library windows and there were very few students left in the library. He could hear the sound of Mrs Bennett the librarian wheeling her trolley as she travelled the shelves returning books to their respective places; the squeaky wheel was really beginning to get on his nerves but other than that the library remained relatively silent.

Resigning himself to the task at hand he picked up his pen and resumed his attack on his report. Immersed in the final conclusion Kurt was startled when Mrs Bennett approached the desk.

"Mr Hummell, I'm sorry but I will be locking the library in five minutes" she smiled kindly, "I suggest you begin to pack your things away."

"Goodness, thank you" replied Kurt "I'm sorry I hadn't realised the time."

"You must be tired Mr Hummell" Mrs Bennett replied with a kind tone.

"I'm fine" Kurt smiled back at her "thank you."

"Alright dear" she smiled softly as she returned to her own desk.

Pulling his bag into his lap Kurt closed his books and report and shoved them inside, gathering his pens together and placing them back in his pencil case he placed this alongside his books and quickly pulled his bag closed.

Groaning as he stood he reached down and grabbed his blazer folding it over his arm as he grabbed his bag and started to walk out of the library.

"Goodnight Mrs Bennett" he said as he passed her desk.

"Goodnight Mr Hummell."

The corridors were abandoned as he made his way through the main building toward the dormitories, a thought in the back of his mind nagging as to why Blaine hadn't returned to the library like he said he would.

"Hummel" came voice from a shadowy corner of the corridor, "what are you doing wandering around this late on your own some?"

"Christian?" Kurt asked quietly whilst peering into the darkness.

"Hello Hummel" he smirked as he made his way into the light, "how are you this fine evening?"

"What the hell are you doing lurking around in the dark you creep, what is wrong with you" Kurt asked annoyed as he stepped around him and continued down the corridor.

"So, nice black eye" sneered Christian.

"Oh hell no, don't you even go there you pig" snapped Kurt spinning around to face Christian "I heard all about what you said to Blaine and Nick for that matter, what the hell is your problem?"

"Oh you know making my own entertainment" he chuckled.

"Well fuck off and do it somewhere else" snapped Kurt turning and walking briskly away only to be pursued.

"You know you're pretty hot when you're angry" said Christian off handedly.

"You what" choked Kurt stopping and turning to face him.

"You heard" leered Christian as he stepped closer to him.

"You have got to be kidding me" Kurt said with a sharp laugh as he looked to the floor shaking his head.

"Why?" asked Christian bluntly.

"WHY? Seriously. You have just tried to break up my relationship, you're lurking around in dark corridors being a creep and now you decide to tell me that you think I'm hot! Are you crazy? What do you think is going to happen here huh?" he asked with exasperation.

"Don't flatter yourself Hummel" sneered Christian whilst he looked him up and down greedily "I only said you were hot when you were angry, most of the time your an over inflated ice queen."

Kurt took a step back painfully aware that he was alone, his eyes wide and focused solely on Christians as he watched him like he was a poisonous snake the anger he was previously channelling replaced with a cold uneasiness.

"You're uptight" Christian continued his tongue slipping out to lick his lower lip, "you need someone to loosen you up a bit."

Kurt's brain screamed with the pressure of so many thoughts running through it at once. This can't be happening again, where the hell is Blaine, I want my Dad, all shot across his consciousness at once, taking a step backwards Kurt continued to lock eyes with Christian but he hadn't made any move follow his retreat he just watched him with a hard expression.

Silence filled the hallway as neither boy made any attempt to move.

"Anyway, goodnight Hummel" said Christian suddenly returning to his usual off hand persona, he turned and stalked down the corridor, hands shoved into his pockets as he disappeared into the darkness.

Kurt remained rooted to the spot as he watched Christian walk away, his subconscious screaming for him to move but his body refusing to obey as large tears rolled silently down his cheeks.
