A/N- Here we go :) I can't believe I got to 25 reviews! I know it doesn't seem much, but thankyouthankyouthankyou! It really means a lot to me. So, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this up. We get to hear Blaine's big secret.. OOO. Drop me a review, and feel free to give me any suggestions of things you would like to happen.
"Blaine?" Kurt whispered. Blaine didn't answer, but Kurt took that Blaine stroking Kurt's hair as a 'yes'.
"Wh- How- What are you doing here?" Kurt looked at Blaine properly now. He could see the darkness under his eyes and the redness around them. Kurt felt so guilty, because he was the cause of this. This upset, beautiful boy in front of him was all because of him. Blaine sighed, his throat crackling.
"Your dad let me in." Blaine croaked "I couldn't sleep last night. I feel so bad for-"
"No." Kurt said firmly, but shakily at the same time "You shouldn't feel bad for anything. It's me who was being a selfish idiot. I shouldn't have said what I said. I should have respected you. If you're not ready to tell me, then it's none of my business. I'm so sorry. I just love you so much" Kurt thought that he had been cried out, but this obviously wasn't the case as tears started falling once again. Blaine pulled Kurt into his lap and rubbed reassuring circles in his back.
"Hey, shh, Kurt. Don't worry. I'm ready to tell you. You deserve to know. What you said last night was right, if I don't tell you then we're going to end up breaking up and I can't lose you" Blaine said, mentally preparing himself for what he was about to admit to Kurt.
"No. I don't want you to tell me because you think you should. You should tell because you want to. Don't do thi-" Kurt was cut off as Blaine pressed a finger to Kurt's lips. Blaine took a few deep breaths before beginning his story.
"It was... 2 years ago. I was going to my house one Friday night after school and my car broke down in the middle of the highway." Blaine stopped for a minute, to compose himself. Kurt nodded, but had no idea where this was going. How did breaking down have anything to do with how he reacted the other week. "And I was just sat there. I'd called my mom and dad but they were going to be another 10 minutes. Then a car pulled over and some man got out and came over to me. He asked me if needed anything, which I said no to, because I didn't. And then he d-dragged me behind the trees a-and...and" Blaine broke down into tears. Kurt tried to swallow the sick feeling that he was getting. He knew roughly what Blaine was going to say. Kurt tried to form a response to let Blaine know that he understood what he was going to say.
"So h-he.. he.. r-r-raped y-you?" Kurt choked back. He was overcome with hate, anger, sadness, and sympathy. He couldn't even imagine what that would do to Blaine. Blaine couldn't speak, so just shook his head. Kurt felt a small wave of relief wash over him, but the other emotions were all still there. He knew that he couldn't do anything about that now though because right there and then, it was about Blaine. Kurt wrapped his arms around the crying boy tightly, to let him know that he was safe now.
Blaine felt like a huge weight had been lifted. He'd told Kurt (near enough) what had happened to him, and he felt that now Kurt understood, they might be able to progress. Slowly, but still move forward. However, even though he felt better about telling Kurt, it was causing all the memories from that night to haunt him. He remembered the feeling of putting their hand over his mouth and trying to take his clothes off. He remembered the sound of his own screams. He could remember everything. Luckily before that monster had managed to do anything, Blaine pushed him off and ran to his car, where his parents were waiting for him, wondering where he had been. Blaine had told them right away and they looked after him, but for over a year, Blaine couldn't even have anyone touch his arm without him freaking out completely. As a family, they'd decided not to go to the police, because Blaine had no idea what the person looked like and because thank God Blaine wasn't hurt. They'd kept it between them though, not telling another soul. But now Kurt knew as well, as he was as good as part of the family.
They had no idea how long they were sat there on the floor, holding each other. Burt and Carole had obviously seen what state Blaine was in when they let him in, so didn't come in to check on them. Kurt looked up at the clock after a while, and saw that it was past midday. As if on cue, his stomach growled loudly, causing Blaine to jump out of his arms. They both looked at each other and laughed. Then sighed at the fact that they hadn't laughed properly since their first date.
"Shall we go and get something to eat?" asked Blaine, holding out his hand to Kurt.
"Yeah" Kurt nodded, taking hold of Blaine's hand and guiding him down to the kitchen.
Everyone else had gone out, but Carole had left a note on the table:
K,
Me and your dad have gone shopping. We'll be back around 3. I didn't know what time you wanted lunch so I made some sandwiches and put them in the fridge. Tell Blaine to help himself to anything he wants. I hope you are both alright.
Love

Kurt smiled. His dad and Carole had only been married for a few months, but already Carole was a best friend and a mom to him. Carole really cared about Kurt and would do anything for him. Kurt turned to Blaine who was sat awkwardly at the table. The last time Blaine had been sitting there was when Burt had given him 'The Talk'.
"Carole said there's food in the fridge and that you should help yourself to whatever you want" Kurt smiled at Blaine, trying to get back to normal.
"Ok. I am pretty hungry" Blaine said, pushing himself up and walking over to Kurt, wrapping his arms around the boy in front of him.
Kurt turned around and wound his own arms around Blaine, kissing him lightly on the lips.
"How are you?" Kurt asked, his voice thick with worry.
"I'm...I'm.. I've been better" Blaine laughed weakly "But I feel better now that you know about me. It's been a huge weight lifted. I love you so much, Kurt."
"I love you too, Blaine. More than anything" Kurt said into Blaine's shoulder.
The two boys – well, Blaine – ate all of the sandwiches that Carole had made, sitting at the table talking about meaningless things, their legs tangled together. When they finished eating, they moved into the living room and cuddled watching a film. Kurt had let Blaine choose, so they were watching The Little Mermaid. Kurt wasn't concentrating on the film, he was watching Blaine instead, admiring every little thing about him. The way that his eyes brightened when he was singing along to the songs, the way that he mimed pretty much all of the dialogue and just everything. Eventually, Kurt felt his eyes start to droop and he drifted off into a peaceful sleep, with his arms wrapped around his perfect boyfriend. They were in exactly the same position when Burt and Carole returned about half an hour later, making Carole smile before draping a blanket over them.
