Of course, Blaine's hopes amounted to nothing, seeing as Kurt was too busy crying to go to sleep. Burt had angrily stormed out of the house and right down to the police station.
"That asshole." Finn growled "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to get Puck, and we're going to kill him." Kurt was too tired to try to stop his ramblings, but Blaine knew it was only upsetting him further.
"Carole…I'm gonna take Kurt to his room, if that's okay." Blaine said, standing up with a sobbing Kurt in his arms. Carole nodded and let them go down to Kurt's basement bedroom. Blaine sat with Kurt on the bed and looked him in the eyes
"Kurt," Blaine asked seriously, making Kurt look up at him, his sobs being reduced to small hiccups. "Did he…do anything else?" Kurt looked confused before his eyes widened and he shook his head vigorously
"No. no, no, no, Blaine, I swear," he said, Blaine exhaled and hugged Kurt tightly
"Thank god." He whispered, Kurt didn't need that stolen from him, just like his first kiss had been. Blaine peppered kisses anywhere he could, Kurt's hairline his cheeks right below his ears, everywhere except his lips. "You're gonna be okay," Blaine said, "Danny's gonna get what he deserves and you're gonna be okay, I promise." He said softly "because now you have me…and I love you so much." And Blaine's voice sounded sort of strangled, causing Kurt to look up.
"Oh no, not you too!" Kurt cried, cupping his boyfriends face "Blaine Anderson, don't you start crying." Kurt commanded, but it was a lost cause.
"What if he had done something, Kurt?" Blaine asked in a hoarse voice "what if he'd gone further, broken bones, what if he'd…" Blaine buried his face into the crook of Kurt's neck and sniffled.
"Blaine…please." Kurt begged, he couldn't stand Blaine crying, it broke his heart.
"Right." Blaine sniffed, wiping at his eyes "right. I'm here for you." He said, and just held Kurt close. Eventually, Kurt changed into his pajamas, and Blaine crawled under the covers with him, they both laid on their backs before mutually deciding that they weren't close enough.
"Big spoon or little spoon?" Blaine asked, trying to lighten the mood, Kurt giggled
"little spoon." He said, Blaine laughed
"Good, I like being the big spoon." They maneuvered so Kurt's back was pressed up against Blaine's chest and Blaine's arm was wrapped around Kurt tightly, but not tight enough to hurt him. Blaine leaned over and nuzzled Kurt's neck with his nose, causing the other boy to smile, and that's the way they fell asleep.
oOo
"How did it go?" Carole asks as Burt sits down on the couch.
"Actually…a lot easier than I expected." Burt said "Turns out they have a street camera positioned right where it happened, they made me watch it which was…awful." He shook his head
"What happened?" Carole whispered
"Kurt blew a tire and got out to fix it," he smiled fondly because his boy knew his way around a car, just like Burt had taught him "and that boy pulls up and just starts shoving him, Kurt did nothing to provoke it, he did try to fight back, though…Danny was just too strong." Burt shook his head
"So…they know it's Danny, does anything else need to happen?"
"Unless the boy gets a lawyer who's dumb enough to plead not guilty, then no, they've got the evidence, they can plainly see it's him." Then Burt furrowed his brow and looked around
"Where are they?" he asked
"Finn went up to bed and Blaine and Kurt went downstairs."
"Blaine went with him…"
"Burt, don't you bother them," Carole warned "Blaine wouldn't try anything, not now." She said "but I'll check on them if it makes you feel better." Burt nodded as Carole got up to go check on the boys. She slowly opened Kurt's bedroom door and silently stepped in, Blaine and Kurt were in Kurt's bed (much like she suspected) Blaine's arms were around Kurt, both were sleeping peacefully. She crept closer and smoothed Kurt's hair from his face, kissing his forehead gently. Blaine's eyes fluttered open, he saw Carole and began to disentangle himself from Kurt before she stopped him. Blaine calmed down as Carole kissed his forehead also and whispered a
"Thank you" Blaine smiled sleepily and let his eyes close again. Carole crept back out of the room and turned the light off.
"So?" Burt asked as Carole returned to the living room "are they…"
"They're spooning, Burt, it's not a crime." Carole said teasingly, knowing how protective Burt got. "They're responsible boys, Burt, you know how stubborn Kurt is, he won't do anything unless he's ready and he wants to."
"But what if he wants to?" Burt asked helplessly
"Then we prepare him." Carole said simply, and rolled her eyes at Burt's expression "I'm not under the illusion that teenagers don't sleep with each other, they're 17, Burt." Burt only looked more nervous, Carole sighed "it's not like we'd have to worry about any pregnancies." She snickered, Burt groaned and leaned back against the couch.

Finn had sent out a mass text
'Kurt's in trouble come 2 my house 2morrow.' –F The responses he got were almost immediate
'Wht happened 2 my bby?'- M
'KURT, NO! what happened?'- R
'OMG what happened?'- T
'Is my dolphin okay?'- B
'Oh hells no, you'd better tell me what's up, Hudson.'- S
'I'll be there, what should I bring?'- Q
Finn hadn't responded to any of the texts aside from Quinn's, to which he replied
'Food and lots of movies.'
He sat on his bed, thinking of all of the ways he could have protected Kurt…and had failed once again, he sucked at being a brother.
oOo
Blaine couldn't think of a better place to be right now. He had Kurt in his arms and they were laying in Kurt's bed completely undisturbed by anything and anyone. In one, brief, nearly frightening moment, Blaine could picture it, as clear as day in his mind. Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson could have a future together, and if Blaine had anything to say about it they would.
