Warning - Slash, Extreme Bullying

Blaine

'Their all taller than me.' Was Blaine's first thought as he was left alone with the male contingent of New Directions.

The four boys stood behind the wheelchair bound boy, who had to be Artie, were all wearing letterman jackets while the only girl left behind was wearing a cheerleading uniform.

"What did you say your name was again?" The only blonde asked from the far right of the half circle they had made around Artie.

"Blaine Anderson. And yours?" Might as well try and be polite even if some of these boys were vividly reminding him of his own former bully's at this moment.

"I'm Sam." The blonde replied smiling politely.

"Mike." The seemingly monosyllabic Asian stood next to Sam said.

"Puck." The guy with the Mohawk who seemed to look the most intimidating and who was definitely raising the most alarm bells for Blaine grunted.

"I'm Finn. I'm kinda Kurt's brother." Aaaah this was Finn. Kurt had told him about his dad dating Finn's mom.

"I'm Santana. If you ever want to experiment I'm always up for a quickie." Lifting her eyebrows at him the cheerleader slowly ran her eyes up and down his uniform clad body.

"Thank you but I'm gay."

"I'm Artie." The wheelchair bound junior interrupted before Santana or anyone else could make any remarks that could be construed as offensive.

At Blaine's remark the boys stood behind Artie all exchanged a glance and Puck, being the most forward and tactless of the group, interrupted Blaine's next attempt at conversation.

"So you into our boy Kurt? Or what?"

"Ummm…." well that was a very random out of the blue question. And how to answer it? Of course he liked Kurt. He liked Kurt A LOT. He was amazingly brave, funny, beautiful, smart and any other adjectives that Blaine could come up with. But Kurt didn't need a boyfriend right now he just needed a friend to stand by him and help him get through everything. Settling on what he was going to say to his new best friends friends Blaine took a deep breath.

"No. We're just good friends. Kurt is amazing but he doesn't need a boyfriend at the moment. So we're just really really good friends." Well that had come out closer to the truth than he had hoped but hopefully nobody caught the emphasis he unconsciously put on how close he and Kurt really were. Or at least how close he wanted to be.

Glancing at each of the people looking at him he guessed he'd been about half successful and he really wasn't sure which half was which.

"Okay then… we'll just give you the general boyfriend warning and we'll count it as a new friend warning for now shall we?" Sam spoke up. But before Blaine could ask what he meant exactly by that the group as one took a step forward. And Puck cracked his knuckles for good measure as they all seemed to become inches taller than they were two minutes ago.

"You hurt our boy Kurt in any way and you will not know what hit you."

"I will go seriously Lima Heights Adjacement on your ass."

"You won't know what hit you."

"We'll take your short ass down."

"I will roll over you."

"Okay then. I promise I will do my best not to hurt Kurt but if I do you have my permission to do all of those things as I would never purposefully want to hurt him."

With a decisive nod he made sure to meet everyone's eyes. He would not hurt Kurt in anyway if he could help it. And now he had said it out loud to some of Kurt's friends the promise he had made to himself when he had first met Kurt seemed even more real and unbreakable. He'd be by Kurt no matter what happened.

"Now that that's done. Can someone tell me how to get to Kurt's locker?"

Kurt

As I was dragged out of the choir room and down towards the girls bathroom I hoped the boys would go easy on Blaine and not offend him. Blaine was the first friend maybe more that he'd had that was actually gay and knew what he went through on a daily bases. It would be nice if his friends didn't scare him off while being over protective.

"Talk!" although being shoved into a bathroom by five girls may have either scared other boys his age half to death or turned them on for Kurt it seemed to happen every other day.

The only difference was that it had only ever been one of the girls shoved up against the sink and surrounded it had never happened to him. Although he had been on the other side when one of the girls was withholding some of the juicier gossip.

"Get with it white boy." Mercedes lifted an eyebrow as hands found the hips of all of the girls in the bathroom.

"His name's Blaine…." Knowing he was being vague and telling them something they already knew, Kurt stalled trying to think of what he could say without letting slip his Kurofsky situation.

"Well duh …" Quinn was obviously wise to his game as she looked at him with her queen bitch look.

Putting his hands up in the air to hold them back Kurt figured he could avoid anything bad and just focus on Blaine.

That sounded quite good actually.

"Okay. Okay. Lady's deep breath. As I was saying his names Blaine he's the lead singer of the Dalton Academy Warblers. And don't start Rachel, I met him when I was sent to spy on THEM. They were really nice by the way so please be nice to him." Kurt looked at each of the girls surrounding him locking eyes with Rachel the longest. He was very sure that Blaine was…. Something to him and he needed all his old friends to get on with his new…friend.

"Fine. But Kurt if he steals our setlist I reserve the right to yell at both of you."

"And that didn't tell us anything about the two of you together." Tina piped up from her place to the right of him as Rachel folded her arms.

"Well…Blaine and his two friends Wes and David took me to their cafeteria and got me a coffee. Just to ask what I was doing there and where I was from…that kinda thing."

"And!"

"And I asked them if they were all gay. Which if you met Wes and David you would not question just because they take bromance to a whole new level. Then Blaine said he was, they weren't (again soo not sure) and asked if I was having trouble at school. So I told him about the Neanderthals and all the stuff they do and say. And since then he's just been really nice texting or calling every day and at least once a week we get together to have coffee, watch a movie." Kurt ended with a small smile hoping just maybe they kind of understood what he was trying to say through all of the rambling. He couldn't understand it Blaine just got him.

Watching the girls smile and glance at each other he thought maybe, just maybe, they understood better than he did.

"Okay now that's dealt with. Can I please go to my locker Blaine's probably waiting. If the boys haven't killed him or scared him off."

Smiling at the girls Kurt left them to their gossiping and started to plan what films they could watch before his dad got home from poker night and Blaine had to leave.

Unfortunately while he focussed on his night alone with Blaine Kurt didn't watch where he was going and didn't see the hulking figure leant up against his locker before he had drawn close to it.

"Hey Fag. Stop daydreaming and look at me!"

The rough voice brought Kurt's head up with a snap and his eyes grew big as he started to shake and take a step back.

He wouldn't admit it to anyone but Karofsky terrified him. Especially the new side he had been showing the past few weeks. Time seemed to stop as Karofsky crowded him against his locker and pushed himself as close as he could. His hot, stinky breath trailed down Kurts neck as he whispered in the shorter biys ear.

"Been missing me? Slut." The Jock trusted his hips against the smaller boys as Kurt started to cry. Silent tears fell down his cheeks as Kurt hoped and prayed to a God he didn't believe in that someone would come and save him.

Blaine

Taking the next corner Blaine hoped he was going the right way this time. He'd already gotten lost once and didn't want to leave Kurt waiting any longer.

Turning the corner Blaine took a sharp intake of breath as he saw a huge Jock pressing Kurt up against a locker.

Kurts hands were held above his head by one of the jocks meaty hands while the other trailed aggressively down Kurt's body.

Tears cascaded down Kurt's cheeks as he shook and tried to get out of the hold he was in.

"Hey! Let him go!." The jock eyes flickered to him then shot to each end of the hall obviously just realizing where he was he took off letting Kurt fall to the ground.

"Kurt? Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Blaine crouched down to Kurt's level trying not to spook the taller teen.

"I-I'm okay. He didn't do anything." Kurt blinked away the tears as best as he could and rubbed at the red marks that had appeared on his wrists.

I watched as Kurt tried to pull himself together. Obviously he didn't want to talk about it in the middle of the school hallway where anyone could hear.

"Come on let's get you home. We can watch Disney and eat ice-cream. Does that sound good?" I took Kurt's hand softly giving him the chance to pull away if he wanted. When he didn't pull away I tightened my grip and pulled him softly towards the exit hoping to get him home quickly before someone else came along and started questioning him.

Perhaps I could get the full story out of him tonight. Or maybe we could just cuddle.
