It was a pretty ordinary day.

There were only a few weeks left until graduation and prom had been amazing. For Kurt, there had only been a small moment of embarrassment when the last Prom 'Queen' had been called to come onto the stage to crown the next Queen.

But as for the rest, it had gone great. He'd had the chance to dance with his boyfriend, who looked admittedly slightly ridiculous with his hair, but that only made him all the more adorable to Kurt.

He smiled as he remembered his father allowing them to spend the night together at the hotel.

Closing his locker, he went over what he had left of school for the rest of the day.

Math, Geography…

It was then that he saw Quinn tripping when she walked away from her locker. Her books landed on the ground with a soft thud, leaving Quinn to fall down on hands and knees.

Her face screwed up as she seemed to try and fight the tears that were clearly building in her eyes.

Kurt frowned as he saw everyone pass her by without so much as another glance. Thinking twice was not even on his mind as he hurried to help her.

He'd been there, having ended up on the ground more than once and not having been helped or asked if he was alright. Not even once glanced at.

Besides, there had been something odd about her fall. Maybe it was because Kurt had looked at the very moment that she fell and thus noticed, or maybe he'd seen it wrong, but that hadn't been a normal fall.

It was like her knees had buckled and she'd just fallen because her legs couldn't hold her anymore.

Though Kurt didn't like assuming things, it wouldn't be a surprise if he was right about that, what with Quinn having been in a car crash and having only regained the strength in her legs back properly since prom.

Quinn's head shot up when she saw a pair of hands helping her pick up her books and she quickly wiped away the tears that threatened to escape.

'Thank you.'

It came out quite miserably.

'Are you alright? Did you trip?'

'Kind of?'

Kurt raised his eyebrows at her in a questioning manner, waiting for her to continue as he helped her to her feet and handed her the books back. She sighed and looked away, as if she was ashamed.

'I haven't quite gotten the full control back over my legs.'

'I see.'

He didn't ask any more questions, knowing that being that invasive would be plain rude.

'Is Finn still mad at me?'

Kurt nodded at her sudden question.

'Yes. He's spent the entire weekend trying to convince me to believe him about you having only pretended not to be able to walk for Prom Queen votes.'

'I sort of did that. Rachel deserved it more than I did, though.'

Kurt frowned.

'How come?'

'I'm not sure, but I know what I did was wrong.'

'Okay.'

'… Okay?'

'At least you're honest and humble enough to actually admit that.'

She stood still.

'I have to go to class. Are you going to be alright, Quinn?'

She nodded and smiled at him.

He smiled back, before making his way to class.


This one was really short and I am pretty sure I wrote it in less than twenty minutes...
