A/N: Bonjour... Another chapter. This one is the lead up to the National's chapter, which is currently being written. There was a poll held a few weeks ago to help determine the Warbler group song for this chapter, but given the lack of response, I have decided to just go with my original choices, and hope they work out all right. As for what they are, you'll find out next chapter... Also, from eighteen onwards, i'll be skipping through a bit, just to get to the end of the story, because i'm almost done, and I want the graduation chapter to be the second last one... so bear with me, and enjoy this chapter... JusticeIsn'tEas0083. D.

Chapter Sixteen: The One, With the Big Bang

Kurt hadn't seen Blaine leave. In fact, the countertenor had gone back to their dorm room, telling Jeff that he just needed to be by himself for a moment, to think about what he'd seen Blaine doing. It's not that it was the first time; Blaine was naturally protective of him, but the anger, and rage he'd seen in his boyfriend's eyes had scared him a little. He'd never known Blaine to get that angry before, not even when Jesse and Karofsky had kidnapped him the second time, did Blaine get that angry... it's okay though, because they're going to a session, and Kurt can bring it up with Dr. Paul, and then they can talk about it, they can make it right, because that's what they do... that's how it works... Kurt deserves that after everything he's been through. The only warning that things were falling apart, was Jeff knocking on the door of his and Blaine's dorm, and letting himself in, followed by Nick, and a guilty looking Santana, who must have shown up sometime in the last twenty minutes Kurt had been hiding himself away... he didn't want to deal with all of this right now... he just wants his boyfriend, and his life...

Blaine was already fuming when he got in the car. He knew that Jeff had seen him go, and he knew that if he didn't leave now, he and Kurt would be late for their session with Dr. Paul, and that would be worse than not letting Mr. Hummel take his son back, without proof first, that he's changed, back to the man he used to be, back to the man that Kurt can call a father, one who accepts his relationship with Blaine, and can be there if things fall apart like they have over the last six months. The two hour drive to Lima should have given Blaine time to calm down, but it didn't. It just made him think over what Santana had told him, and give him time to become more and more worked up... he was so worked up, he was literally banging on the Hudmel front door two hours later, waiting for to be opened, hopefully by Burt, so he doesn't have to go through pleasantries with Carole and Finn... however, it's to Blaine's disappointment that Carole opens the door, smiling brightly and inviting him inside, asking if he'd like anything to drink. Blaine goes through the motions, not really caring that Carole is asking about Kurt, or about Dalton, or how his aunt and uncle are... he doesn't care that she's talking about ND and Finn, and when he spots the large, burly man in the lounge, he just about loses his cool... he politely explains to Carole that he's here to talk to Burt, privately.

'He's in the lounge dear; you're quite welcome to stay. Will Kurt be joining us?'

'No,' is all Blaine says, walking into the lounge, watching as Burt's face dawns with realisation as to why he's here.

'I have a feeling I know why you're here Blaine, and given that you didn't bring Kurt, it must have something to do with your aunt and uncle coming to see me,' Burt said calmly, keeping eye contact with his son' s boyfriend

'You'd be right then wouldn't you... I'd give you a moment to tell me how you know my aunt and uncle, but I don't think I really care for your explanations right now... what I want to know, is why they're planning on kicking my boyfriend out of their house, and sending him back here, after everything he's been through with you, and the attack,' Blaine replied, looking between Burt, and Carole, who was standing in the doorway, watching the two people who love Kurt the most...

Dalton had become a different place in the time Kurt had been there. Of course, it's changed in good ways, as well as bad, but the hype the Warblers were experiencing over their National's participation was astounding, even to the other members of the school, and to all of their team members. Kurt was just excited to be going back to New York for the competition, and hopefully, after winning, they can come back here, finish out the school year, and graduate, so that Kurt and Blaine can finally put everything behind them, and get on with their lives... Jeff was flustered when Kurt started shouting at him for letting Blaine go and do something as stupid as confront his father about something that probably wasn't going to happen, firstly, because Kurt, Santana and Blaine wouldn't let it, and secondly, he doesn't want to be back in that house, with his father, who was so accepting, and then all of a sudden... wasn't. Nick was trying to talk Kurt out of going after his boyfriend, after all, if Burt was going to do something, he'd have probably done it by now, and Blaine would be calling Kurt to pick him up or something... Finn should also be home, but knowing the quarterback, he'd be out with Rachel, or the others, and he'd be stuck with Burt, and the man's short temper, and shotgun. Kurt visibly flinched when Nick moved towards him, mentioning that Blaine could be shot by Burt and Nick immediately regretted bringing it up with his friend. He doesn't want either of them to get hurt, but Blaine is stubborn at the best of times, and that's not necessarily a good thing...

Wes had called an emergency meeting for two thirty. Blaine was in Lima, Kurt was refusing to leave his room until his boyfriend returned and had some sense knocked into him, and Nick was freaking out, because Kurt's session is a five, and if Blaine's not back by then, he doesn't want to be on the receiving end of whatever monster Kurt Hummel will unleash... Nick sent a message to Blaine, hoping it would calm the boy down enough to come to his senses and drive back to Dalton before everything falls apart, but the downside of trying to do that, is the fact that Blaine left his phone here in the dorm, and both Jeff and Nick could tell Kurt's patience was wearing thin. They don't need a violent outburst from Kurt, especially when the one person who can control them is two hours away... stupid idiot, why couldn't he wait until tomorrow, or later tonight when Kurt's asleep... damn Blaine and his overprotective nature... jumping to conclusions without getting all of the information beforehand... Nick thought, pacing the room as Kurt started muttering things under his breath, probably words that would calm him down...

To: Nick Duval

Hey need you and Jeff to come out to the safe house. We have a problem. Don't bring Kurt; it's not safe right now... Bring more Warblers if you can

From: Noah Puckerman

Nick showed the message to Jeff, who looked up at Kurt, the countertenor had sunk to the floor, head in his hands, rocking back and forth saying Blaine's name over and over. Nick knew they couldn't leave him like that, and getting Wes to sit with him would end in another black eye for the head councilman. Elijah chose that moment to enter Blaine and Kurt's dorm room, going to sit by Kurt, and nodding to Jeff and Nick, who immediately left the room, sending a text to the Warblers who were available that they were needed. If Sebastian escapes, they have nothing... his trial is in two weeks, and they can't afford anything to go wrong, until the cops have all three of them... until then, whatever they do, can't be undone, and that means pulling out the extremes, even if it means missing Warbler's practice...

To: Warblers

We're needed at the safe house. Puck says there's a problem... heading out there now. Come if you can, don't let anyone know, Elijah, please stay with Kurt.

From: Nick Duval

Burt was fuming. How dare this boy come to his house and accuse him of trying to manipulate Kurt into coming home. If he wanted his son to come home, he'd ask... Kurt would probably be happier in his own room, with his own bed, and clothes... but he doesn't live here anymore... none of that stuff is here... he took all of his clothes, and the bed hasn't been slept in for six months... Blaine isn't here to accuse you of anything... he's here to make sure you're not taking anything away from Kurt... all that's left in that room, are the reminders of the mistakes you made six months ago... Burt thought to himself as Blaine pinched the bridge of his nose, and tried to calm himself down... he doesn't need to get into a fight with his boyfriend's father right now... what he needs, is to get the point across to Burt, that his son isn't coming home, not matter how much his aunt and uncle support the idea...

'Blaine, you can't come into my house, and tell me what to do. I'm the parent...'

'Some parent you are... Kurt was attacked, raped and held captive for months... months, and he comes home after all of that, to talk to you about it... and you kick him out, because your brother is a homophobic ass. You think that what Kurt's going through is easy? You think he's just going to come back here? He won't, and I don't care how much Cora and Frank push this, I'm not letting him. we'll move to New York early if we have to, but there is no way in hell, that Kurt will ever live in this house again...' Blaine spoke sternly, looking at Carole who was surprised by Blaine's outburst, and by Burt's reaction

'You think this is about getting my son back? I don't ever expect him to forgive me for what I said, or did. I'm not going to ask him to move back in, because I know he'd say no, and you can argue that I'm a homophobic ass, and that Kurt is better off without me... maybe he is... but don't you come into this house, and tell me how I should be with my son...'

'Kurt stopped being your son, the minute you told him to get out and never come back. He stopped being your son, the minute you called him a... that word... he stopped being your son, when he tried to take his own life... three times... and woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares... you don't know what it's been like for us... I don't know why you were talking with my aunt and uncle, but I'm not letting you anywhere near Kurt... I don't care if you apologise and he forgives you... you're not coming anywhere near my boyfriend...' Blaine replied, turning to leave the room, he has to grab the rest of Kurt's things anyway...

'BLAINE... I didn't know that any of that stuff happened to Kurt...'

'You were too busy calling us fags to notice... you were too busy turning into my parents, to notice anything that was going on at that hell hole you call a school... you were too busy being all 'ooo-straight man' with Finn to fucking care. So do us all a favour, and just stop... you've put Kurt out of your life... it's over now...' Blaine said once more, turning fully to leave now... 'He'll never forgive you, and neither will I for what you called us... '

Silence...

The house was eerily quiet when Blaine arrived back at Dalton. He was expecting the twins to be running around, causing havoc, and Wes to be lecturing David about the importance of his gavel, whilst the rest of the Warblers just relaxed. He'd made it back by four thirty... which was good, because Kurt's session is at Five, and then need to be there soon, which is why he was shocked to find their dorm room empty, and void of Kurt, and anyone else who could have been in there... Blaine placed the bag of belongings down on Kurt's bed, and moved to the ensuite bathroom, surprisingly, finding the door locked... that's not good. They had purposely taken the locks off after Kurt tried to lock himself in thee when he first started at Dalton so he could cut... Blaine was freaking out now... please no Kurt... don't be doing this to us... we've come so far... Blaine thought as he pummelled his fist against the door, calling Kurt's name, and praying that his boyfriend hasn't done anything stupid... the door opens to reveal Elijah and Kurt, sitting on the floor, tears streaming from Kurt's eyes, as he drops the offending object upon seeing Blaine. It's Wes who opens the door... this, in itself, is a feat... the two Warblers had probably locked themselves in there, to try and calm down Kurt, so he could go through with it, and Elijah looked almost broken, and sad at his friend's sudden change in attitude... Blaine is engulfed in a hug by his boyfriend, who is sobbing into his blazer, holding on for dear life, as if the lifeline he had, has been shortened all of a sudden.

Kurt's sobs were the only things filling the silence of the room. Wes was sitting on the floor, head in his hands, tears beginning to form in his eyes. If the moment wasn't so tense, Blaine would have asked where the others were, but something in Elijah's eyes told him not to... it's like the boy had just... shut down... it's completely unlike Elijah, who is outgoing, and outspoken, and downright loud, and cheeky. It's oddly disturbing to see him silent, to now hear anything coming out of his mouth, to see him without Emmanuel... it's like Wes and David without each other... like Wes is now... he just wants David, and David is probably feeling the same way about his "bro". But at the moment, Blaine doesn't care... the boy in his arms is broken, and it's heartbreaking to witness and feel, but they do, each of them, they feel everything... Kurt's literally shaking, but usually after an episode like this, he'll go punch the punching bag for twenty minutes... he hasn't moved from Blaine's arms, but he knows he'll have to, because if he misses a session with Dr. Paul, he'll be so far behind, it will be impossible to come back from... Wes is almost sure that Kurt has stopped crying when he stands thirty minutes later, looking at the clock, and reminding Blaine that they need to head to Dr. Paul's office. Kurt looks up at the mention of his therapist, and stands, not moving too far from Blaine, before the two follow Wes out of the room, leaving Elijah to lock up for them, and make sure that the rest of Sanchez house is ready for when the other Warblers get back...

'Do you think you've come a long way since we first started these sessions Kurt?' Dr. Paul asked, as Blaine sat down and let Kurt curl up to him

'I wouldn't know. I've been up and down so many times, and the medication makes me loopy, and some days I'm happy, and others I want to... well I'm just depressed... I don't know...'

'I think you've come along way Kurt... I think you're getting better, and I think that you should focus all you have on National's right now. Blaine and the Warblers think it's going to be good for you... after National's, you have graduation, and then you don't have to worry about ND, or your family. you'll be in New York with Blaine, and nothing else will matter... those boys who did this to you Kurt, they're going to be caught, and they'll go away for a long time...'

'They already got out once, what makes you think they won't get out again? Besides, they can't arrest them, unless they have all three of them, and the only way to get the location of Karofsky and Jesse, is through me talking with Sebastian... I don't know if I have the strength to do that anymore... I thought I did, but after tonight... I don't know...' Kurt replied, not looking at his therapist

'Kurt, did you want to cut tonight? Blaine told me about your argument... did you think about it...?'

'No... I ran to the bathroom, and I just sunk to the floor and cried, and I tried to think of all the good things Blaine has done for me, and then I realised that being mad at him, and afraid of him is stupid, because he loves me, and I love him, and he'd never do that... and somewhere between thinking all of that, and Elijah showing up, I realised that not once, had I thought about self-harming... I thought about Blaine...' Kurt replied, smiling softly when Blaine kissed his temple lightly.

'This is good... Kurt, this means you're getting better... you've come along way... now I just need you to prove it...' Dr. Paul said, smiling and placing a calming hand on Kurt's knee, noticing the way the boy didn't flinch this time...

To: Troubletones and Warblers

We're having a pre-National's party at Sanchez house tomorrow night from four pm till morning. You're all welcome to stay. We know tomorrow is Tuesday, and National's is on the weekend, but we need this for Kurt... we also need the location of the other two... also from Kurt... or threat of life...

From: Nick Duval and Elijah Turnstone

All in all, the two Warblers seemed happy with their decision to throw Kurt and small party, to congratulate him on all the good work that he's done. Blaine had text them sometime during his boyfriend's session, and told them about the praise that had been thrust upon Kurt for everything he's been through... in between planning the small gathering, and trying to get names out of Sebastian, Santana almost didn't realise that Blaine hadn't told her about his confrontation with Burt, which had apparently gotten back to Finn, who had told Rachel, who as practically furious, and almost ready to traipse over to Dalton and rip some heads off... however, this wouldn't be happening, because Finn, was currently with the Latina girl, as she, Puck and Brittany were on watch...

To: Nick Duval

We'll be there, don't forget the snacks and movies. Make sure they're ones that Kurt likes; otherwise we'll never hear the end of it... I want chick flicks... that was Santana uh-huh, sure it was... just make sure you have everything...

From: Troubletones and Warblers (Santana Lopez and Wesley Montgomery)

This was going to be a good night... of course, when the Warblers and the Troubletones are together, you have to expect a party, especially when one Noah Puckerman and Santana Lopez are involved... count them in for a party anytime... even though they became distracted talking about it, Santana was still wondering about the big bang, which is what she had named the incident between Burt Hummel and Blaine... she had yet to hear from the tenor, and her patience for gossip was wearing thin... she could take matters into her own hands... but what fun would that be...

'Hey, I've an idea of how we can get answers out of createn without Kurtie...' Santana said, alerting the attention of the others around her

'How do you propose that? He said he'd only talk to Kurt?' Puck asked, sitting opposite Santana in the arm-chair

'Sure, he'll talk to Kurt... but he's infatuated with him right... what if his life was hanging in the balance, and he couldn't speak... Sebastian would just... fall...' she replied

'You know, if this works, it means I'm going to have to admit you're a fucking genius, and then stand behind man hands and sing a song I don't like at National's right?' Puck said, wincing when he saw Santana's smirk

'Oh but the look on that fuckers face... it will be priceless... live a little Puckerman... I'm going to plan it, I'll call Blainey before tomorrow and have it all sorted... speaking of which...'Santana said, standing and heading into the kitchen where her cell was charging...

Kurt arrived home to find Sanchez house neat and tidy, and all of the Warblers tucked in their beds, all before curfew... not even the twins were doing their goodnight rounds... Blaine thanked whatever deity had gotten into the heads of the Warblers, before ushering his boyfriend into their dorm room, and closing the door, flicking on the light, and turning to face Kurt, who was slowly and seductively unbuttoning his Dalton dress shirt. Blaine moved closer, placing his hands on Kurt's hips, and watching as the counter-tenor dropped the shirt to the floor, wrapping his arms around Blaine's neck, before pulling said boy in for a kiss... the rest of their night was spent in throws of passion, each boy expressing just how much they love the other through words, actions and caresses... when the sun rises in the morning, they'll wake up curled together, prepared for another day, as the Twins do their morning routine, before realising both boys are naked, and sending out shouts of happiness and love through the whole of Dalton, before the two escape into the shower, and then to their classes... before Nick's party that evening... but for now, they're quite content just laying with each other, making love in the most symbolic of ways, and falling more for each other...

A/N: Kurt and Blaine celebrating how far Kurt has come at the end there... It needed to be done... sets up the National's chapter perfectly... Soon to come... National's, Graduation... and much more... stay tuned, and thanks for alerts, favourites and reviews... JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.
