The glee club girls showed up right on time. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and Blaine and Kurt were dead to the world. Finn sneaked them all into Kurt's room to get a look at the sleeping boys before they woke them. There was a chorus of
'awww' and an eye roll from Santana before Finn walked over and shook Blaine, who yelped and sat straight up, which caused Kurt to wake up, looking wildly around the room.
"Finn, you ass." He croaked and rubbed at his eyes, Blaine was still staring at them all in a daze. Brittany was the first to run over and jump onto the bed, knocking both of them down and hugging them fiercely
"Kurtsie!" she squealed "Finn said you were in trouble!" she hugged them closer.
"What did you do, Finn?" Blaine choked out, seeing as Brittany was crushing his esophagus.
"I thought Kurt needed his girls…" he shrugged
"Thank you, Finn." Kurt said before Finn stepped out and let the girls take over.
"I brought food and movies!" Quinn said, not pushing for details yet.
oOo
"So what did happen?" Rachel asked, as they finished watching RENT
"Danny, our resident asshole decided to make another appearance." Blaine quipped, Kurt had already told all the girls about the first run-in with him. "He found Kurt and just beat him up." Blaine said simply the girls were in an uproar until Burt came down and explained everything to them.
"A-are you serious?" Kurt stuttered "he's going to jail?" Kurt's mouth was hanging open and all the girls seemed satisfied.
"We don't know that yet, kiddo, but I'll let you know as soon as we do."
"D-do I have to go into court?" Kurt asked
"I don't know, kiddo." Burt said truthfully "I hope not."
Blaine wrapped his arms tightly around Kurt and kissed his cheek. "It'll be okay," he said for what felt like the millionth time, when would bad things stop happening to Kurt? The last person on earth who deserved this shit seemed to be getting it all dumped on him. Blaine remembered back to last night, that fleeting moment of feeling like there could be more than this, that he and Kurt could actually have something that lasted, for a long time, maybe a lifetime.
oOo
The call Kurt got the next day nearly brought him to his knees. He was going to have to testify, his fingers hastily found Blaine's number on his phone and he pressed 'call'
"Hello?" Blaine answered almost immediately "are you alright?"
"Y-yeah….I have to t-testify against Danny." Blaine was silent for a moment.
"Okay." He said slowly "okay, when?"
"Next week," Kurt said softly
"I'll be there for you, Kurt, I promise." Kurt sighed, that's exactly what he needed to hear.
oOo
"You'll be fine," Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear as they walked into the courthouse "just tell it to me, look right at me and pretend nobody else is there." Kurt nodded, how had he gotten so lucky?
Blaine sat next to Burt, Finn and Carole, with his own parents on the other side of him. Blaine's mother squeezed his hand as Kurt began to recount the events of the first attack, and then the second. Blaine didn't know much about lawyers and their tactics, but even he knew that Danny had a shitty defense. There was no way to go around video evidence. So Kurt made his way back to his seat, right between Blaine and Burt as the Judge and Jury deliberated. Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand as the Judge got ready to speak
"The Jury finds the defendant, Daniel Robinson," she looked around the Courtroom "guilty." Kurt let out a breath and buried his face in Blaine's neck, Blaine hugged him back. Blaine was smiling, Kurt was safe now, Kurt was with him, and everything was okay.
(AUTHORS NOTE: before you go on a murderous rampage, I know, it's short, it's insanely short and I was really nervous about posting this, but in all honestly it is a bit of a filler chapter, and I has MASSIVE writers block. I just wanted to get all the Danny stuff out of the way.
Ps. WARNING: there will be a bit of an age jump in the upcoming chapters, as I progress through their sort of life story)
