A/N: Well lookie here! Another update. I just love you all so much. And as much as I hate beating up poor Blaine, I had to write about this. It makes it so real when it happens to kids you know. Makes you really wanna put your foot down and do something about it.

Shameless Plug: If bullying awareness holds a special place in your heart as it does mine, go check out my recently completed story Dare You To Move. What began as a simple idea morphed into something that changed my life. It took me an entire year to write and get the whole thing complete, but when I did I had never been so happy. Seriously, it's probably my favorite thing I've ever written. Alright, end shameless plug.

Disclaimer: My name's Olivia. Not Ryan. Sadly.

Don't worry fellow Klainers! I will give poor Blaine a break soon!

I love you all!

Never in Kurt's history of high school had he seen gay bullying so apparent, not even for him as a freshman. They had been cruel, and Karofsky still appeared in some random nightmares, but for Blaine to have gotten it twice in five days? It was a trend Kurt was determined to make sure didn't continue. Because there on the ground was a shaking multicolored Blaine. Every color of liquid ice offered had been dumped on him, and it coated his hair, clothes, and skin. Finn was kneeling beside him, and had laid his jacket over the boy, but it didn't seem to help him very much. Kurt was filled with more anger than he thought was possible as he knelt down beside Blaine. But he pushed it all aside as he stroked Blaine's icy hair.

"Blaine. It's Kurt. I'm right here. You're gonna be okay." Blaine didn't open his eyes, but he nodded slowly. Kurt looked at Finn, who was standing awkwardly now. "Finn do you have any idea what they might have given him? Puck said they slipped him something again."

"I don't have a clue man. But whatever it was, I think it was fairly mild. They wouldn't risk doing something strong on school property." Kurt nodded.

"Thanks for finding him. Did they beat him up again?"

"No. I think he got shoved around and the slushies of course, and whatever they gave him, but I don't think they beat him." Soon enough, Puck was back, and he was holding a bag, something everyone in the Glee club recognized as a slushie survival kit. In it could be anything from more hair products to changes of clothes to eye drops. Puck handed it to Kurt and nudged Finn.

"We're gonna head back to Glee. We'll let Mr. Shue know what's going on." Kurt nodded and turned his attention back to Blaine as the boys walked away.

"Blaine? I'm gonna try to get some of it away from your eyes so you can see okay? Then we'll go home and wash you up." Kurt began to use some clean water and a washcloth to clear Blaine's face, stopping and laying a hand on him every so often to stop the shaking. Soon enough, Blaine's eyes were open, and the tears started pouring. "Oh Blaine. I'm so sorry this happened to you." Blaine just shook his head and sniffled.

"It's not your fault. High school just kinda sucks." But as Kurt helped Blaine to his feet, he got this strange look on his face and began to sway, before running over to the trees and throwing up twice. Kurt stepped up behind him and laid his hands on Blaine's shoulders right as Blaine collapsed.

"Blaine!" Kurt got on the ground and shook Blaine, trying anything he could to get him to wake up. Kurt was a nervous wreck. What kind of drug had they given him? But after a few minutes, Blaine began to moan and move his head. When his eyes slowly opened, Kurt let loose the breath he had been holding in the whole time. "Blaine? Are you okay? You scared me to death." Blaine just looked at him with the same lost look he had given Kurt the night they met. Kurt helped Blaine slowly to his feet and they headed to Kurt's car which thankfully wasn't too far from the fieldhouse. Blaine was silent, breathing slowly in and out methodically. Kurt's hands were firmly glued to the steering wheel until he pulled in the driveway. But Blaine didn't move.

"Blaine? We're here. Come on. Let's go inside and get you cleaned up." The boys went inside and Kurt led Blaine straight up to the bathroom.

"Thank you Kurt. For coming to find me. And, tell Finn and Puck thank you too for me." Blaine looked at himself in the mirror. "Well, at least I'm colorful. There are worse things to be. But why is it that grape flavoring-"

"Never tastes like an actual grape? Yeah. I know." Kurt chuckled and smiled at Blaine's attempt at optimism. But then Blaine got a strange look on his face. "Blaine?" He was quiet for a second before the look passed.

"It just makes me feel sick. Whatever they gave me. I dunno what it was. It happened really fast." Kurt gave Blaine a sympathetic look and laid an extra set of clothes on the counter.

"I'm sorry. Maybe a nice hot shower will help. I'll be downstairs when you're finished." And Kurt left Blaine in the bathroom.

Before Kurt knew it, he heard the shower turn off and Kurt smiled. He carried the two mugs of warm milk upstairs towards his room for whenever Blaine was finished. But just as Kurt sat them down on the nightstand, he heard a thud coming from the bathroom, a thud that Kurt didn't even have to question what it was. Sprinting to the bathroom, Kurt yanked the door open and knelt beside Blaine on the floor. The boy was huddled on the ground with his head in his hands, his eyes pinched shut.

"Blaine?"

"My migraines are never this close. I just had one a few days ago. Why is it happening again?" Blaine whispered. Kurt stood and knocked off the lights, then wet a washcloth. He sat back in front of Blaine and ran the cool cloth over his face and neck until he felt Blaine exhale.

"Do you need to go lay down?" Blaine shook his head.

"S'not that bad." So Kurt sat on the bathroom floor with Blaine, holding the cool cloth on his neck until finally it passed and Blaine looked up at Kurt. "Thanks. I don't know what happened." It was then that Blaine looked down and saw that his shirt wasn't on yet, and began to try to cover himself. But Kurt was stunned. Never before had he seen a boy this thin before. And he knew it wasn't by choice, because he saw the way Blaine tackled breakfast that morning.

"Blaine…" Kurt couldn't find the words he needed. Blaine grabbed his towel and covered his torso with it, shaking his head. Kurt just slowly pulled the towel away and ran his fingers ever so gently over Blaine's stomach, tracing the lines of each rib. Blaine bit his lip, waiting on Kurt's reaction. But it never came. Kurt just sighed and kissed Blaine's forehead. Then he stood and helped Blaine to his feet. The boys stood and Blaine slipped his t-shirt on, then Blaine followed Kurt over to the bed where a movie was waiting. The Little Mermaid. Blaine smiled and leaned his head onto Kurt's shoulder. The movie began and Blaine felt Kurt pull him just a little bit closer.

"Pretty soon we're gonna go to your house and get the rest of your things. You aren't going back there Blaine. But you know eventually you'll go through all the clothes in my closet that you'd like." Blaine chuckled, but inside his heart pounded at the thought of facing his mother again. He would have to go alone. He couldn't risk the thought of Kurt meeting his mother while she was in a drunken rage. He would never put Kurt in that kind of danger.

"You can't come." Kurt turned to look at Blaine.

"And just why not? You think I'd let you go by yourself? Absolutely not."

"Kurt I've handled my mother on my own for years now."

"And look what it's done to you!" Kurt threw back. Blaine was silent and he stared at Kurt. Kurt instantly calmed down and took Blaine's hand. "Blaine," But Blaine withdrew his hand from Kurt's and crossed his arms across his chest. "Blaine I'm sorry. I just don't want to see you hurt again." Blaine was silent for a moment before he turned to face Kurt.

"I know that you're just trying to protect me, but please Kurt. Trust me when I tell you that for once, you're going to have to let me protect you. And the only way I can do that is to go alone. I'll be fine. Really. I'll go in the morning; she probably won't even be home." Kurt bit his lip, staring at Blaine.

"Okay. But if you come back with so much as another scratch on you, I'll tell Burt, and we'll have to let him handle it, okay?" Blaine sighed, then nodded.

"Alright. I'll go tomorrow." Kurt just took the boy in his arms and held him, his mind only able to focus on the danger he was allowing Blaine to walk into, and the knowledge that there was nothing he could do about it.

Have you ever known that you were allowing someone to go into a dangerous situation but did it anyways? I can see why Kurt didn't push if Blaine was so adamant. I've made the same choice before. Next chapter we'll get a little better look into Blaine's home life, and what it's really like. I hope you all have a fantastic week!

Until Next Time!

Always Remember to Smile!
