stephanie for thanks for correcting my spelling of Karofsky- not Kurofsky (and of course for saying it was an awesome story)

mony101- I'll try my best to straighten their personalities out. Just figured it might hard for Blaine to be a dapper gentlemen when he his life is kinda hell...but like I said I'll work on it cause I write for my "audience" :D

"That was amazing!" Blaine said after Kurt approached him.

"Thank you." He replied with a large, sassy but silly smile that said 'thank you, thank you- I know I'm awesome' to Blaine. "You wanna grab some coffee with me and a few of the guys?"

"Sure." Blaine said hoping he didn't sound as eager as he felt.

Kurt smiled and started to lead the way (this time forgoing taking Blaine's hand much to his disappointment). He noted that an Asian boy and black kid had joined them but they walked onwards in comfortable silence.

"Go grab us a table?" Kurt asked and Blaine nodded before taking a seat.

He watched as Kurt and the others ordered four coffees and waited patiently. Blaine observed the room and found himself wondering what life was like at Dalton. He didn't have long to wait before the boys headed over and sat down.

"Latte?" Kurt said sliding one of the cups across the table. He seemed a lot more serious now, as did the other two boys.

"Thank you." Blaine said gathering himself together. After seeing how serious the three boys were, he realized he had gotten caught spying and he needed to pour on the charisma he normally possessed (which had been seriously lacking since Karofsky had stepped up the bullying).

"This is Wes-" Kurt said pointing to the Asian boy on his right. "-and David." He said pointing to the other boy on his left. The three boys just stared at them.

Blaine swallowed hard- he was suddenly nervous about what they were going to do to him and he felt a crack starting to form in his calm demeanor.

"It's very...civilized of you to buy my coffee before beating me up for spying on you." He croaked out.

"We are not going to beat you up." Wes said looking slightly less scary now that Blaine knew he wasn't about to get his ass kicked.

"You were such a bad spy. We actually thought it was kind of endearing." David elaborated and Blaine felt himself relax even more.

"Which made me think-" Kurt said and Blaine focused on him. "That maybe spying on us wasn't the real or entire reason you came here today."

Blaine tried to keep his surprise contained. They were right. It wasn't entirely about spying. It was a good enough cover but really, Blaine had wanted to see what it would be like if he was in a different environment- maybe one where he would feel safe to walk down the halls without fear of torment.

"Can I ask you guys a question?" Blaine asked hesitantly and then continued when no one objected. "Are you guys all gay?"

The trio started laughing which wasn't the reaction Blaine was expecting but it wasn't a violent one so it could have been worse.

"Uh no." Kurt replied. "Well, I mean I am-" Kurt smiled and Blaine felt his heart skip a beat. "But these guys have girlfriends."

"This isn't a gay school." David said with a tone that told Blaine he has said this more times then he could count. "We just have a zero tolerance harassment policy."

"Everyone gets treated the same no matter what they are. Its pretty simple." Wes elaborated.

Blaine felt his heart break. It sounded like his paradise here. Zero tolerance for harassment. That meant no bullies- no fear. He could be free to do what he wanted- be who he wanted. Tears started to well in his eyes and he tried to hide it from the guys but he wasn't fast enough to hide it from Kurt.

"Would you guys give us a minute?" Kurt said softly and the David and Wes nodded before leaving. Blaine took some deep breathes and tried to keep it together- he was so used to being calm and composed that really didn't want to cry but he was overwhelmed with more emotions than he knew what to do with. "I take it you're having trouble at school." Kurt said softly and waited for Blaine to react.

"I am the only person out of the closet at my school." Blaine replied as he felt tears start to fall. "And I try so hard not to let it get to me- to stay strong about it but there is this...ignoramus who's made it his sole mission to make my life a living hell-" Blaine says and his voice cracks with emotion. "-and the only people who care about what he's doing are just as helpless to stop him as I am."

"I know how you feel." Kurt said, his eyes full of empathy. "To say I was teased at my old school would be an understatement...and it really pissed me off." Blaine looked at the boy across from him and saw that even though it was in the past it still bothered him. "I even complained about it to my teachers and they said all the things they thought they were supposed to say but you could tell none of them really cared about my situation."

Blaine couldn't believe what he was hearing- he had just gone through this with Mr. Schuester.

"It was like they were saying 'well, since you're gay your life is pretty much going to suck. Sorry but I can't do anything about that'. So I left my school and came to the hallowed halls of Dalton. Simple as that."

Blaine sat and absorbed everything Kurt had said to him. He was relieved that he had found someone that knew how he felt- that genuinely understood what he was going through every day at school. After a moment Kurt broke him out of his reverie.

"So the way I see it, Blaine, you have two options: I would love to tell you to just come and enroll at Dalton- it really is a great place besides the bullying policy...but tuition here is pretty steep and I know that isn't an option for everyone."

"And two?" Blaine asked haltingly.

"Two is don't be a victim." Kurt said and reached out to take Blaine's hands in his. "Prejudice is just ignorance Blaine. You have a chance right now, to show him."

"How?" Blaine asked picturing all sorts of interactions with Karofsky- none ending particularly well.

"Confront him. Call him out on what he's doing." Kurt said and he added softly. "I ran Blaine- I let the bullies chase me away and there is part of me that regrets that every day. I don't want to see that happen to you."

Blaine was taken aback by the sincerity in Kurt's voice.

"I'll try." Blaine said giving Kurt's hands a squeeze.

"How about we exchange numbers?" Kurt said pulling his hands back to remove the phone from his pocket. "That way we can talk or text whenever you need an understanding ear. I know what its like to feel alone- and no one should have to feel that way."

Blaine bent down and dug in his bag for his phone longer than necessary because more tears sprung to his eyes unbidden after a complete stranger had decided to show him such kindness.

"Thank you." Blaine said with all the sincerity he felt as they exchanged phones to input their info.

"You're welcome." Kurt replied and Blaine's heart skipped a beat at the smile on Kurt's face. "Now, how about you tell me where you got that jacket cause I'm going through fashion withdrawal with this dress code and that jacket is actually pretty dapper."

Blaine laughed (it hadn't been anywhere near the first time he had been called that despite the fact that he thought his wardrobe leaned more towards the casual side) and he began talking with Kurt about everything that came to their minds. No matter what he had thought at the beginning of the day, he was definitely glad he had chosen to spy at Dalton.
