Since the uncomfortable short conversation that took place in David and Wes's dorm neither boy seen much of Blaine. It seems that whenever the lead Warbler has free time he was off with the 'endearing little spy that stole his heart' (At least that is what David would tease him with).
In truth both David and Wes were still very worried. Blaine seemed fine, strong, calm, unaffected, at least when he was asked about himself; however, when they asked him about Kurt things tended to fall apart. They could tell Blaine was trying to help.
Coffee, plays, movies, dinner, shopping…
By the end of the week David was sure of three things. One, Blaine really liked Kurt. Two, Blaine was REALLY worried about Kurt. Three, David hated AP German…
David was studying this subject when Blaine approached him late Saturday night.
"Hey, David? Can I talk to you, or are you too busy?"
Thank the stars a distraction. "Uh, yeah sure we can talk."
"How did you and Wes know I was depressed?" Blaine looked slightly stiff as he asked. "I mean, I know I was quite, and stuff but…you had just met me and you knew."
Oh, so this is about Kurt. "Well, Wes was your roommate and…I don't know. We just knew." A pause, "Is this about Kurt?"
"Yeah," Blaine sighed as he sat in the chair opposite David. "I mean, I know he is depressed. He has been since we met, but…"
"But what? Blaine, I know you. You don't like to betray someone's trust, but sometimes you have to. You know that don't you?"
"He just seems even more broken now. I mean last week some stuff went down, and I went out there and tried to help. Since then we have been hanging out a lot and he always seems happy with me as long as I don't bring up Karof…school and stuff. But today he just…seemed shattered." Blaine looked shattered as well and that hurt David.
"Look, if you think," David felt uneasy going into this conversation, but he wanted to help. He took a deep breath and continued, "Blaine, if you think Kurt is going to try and hurt himself then you need to tell me, Wes, and an ADULT so that we can stop him." Like we stopped you…
For a moment Blaine looked panicked, "I don't know…I mean he doesn't seem like someone who would…"
"And you do? Blaine if you're this worried maybe you should go to his dad or mom."
"I can't." David tried to interrupt but Blaine continued, "His dad had a heart attack a few weeks ago…Kurt's still really worried. That, you know, he'll die. And his mom died years ago. And I am not going to go to his father's girlfriend about this. That is to far removed, even if she cares for him like a mother."
There was a moment of silence between the two boys.
"You love him don't you." David knew it wasn't a question.
Blaine flushed faintly, "wha..no..I…" he sputtered, "Am I really that obvious?"
"Yeah. But Blaine if you love him you need to do something about this. Especially if it has you this concerned." David leaned back in his chair, tired out from this exchange. "You should tell him, maybe he would open up to you more if you did."
"'You never tell someone you like them, it makes you look like an idiot.'" Blaine retorted with a light smirk.
"You so did not just quote AVPM did you?" the two exchanged a look followed by laughter.
When they both calmed down again Blaine added seriously, "I can't though. I…I can't tell you what happened last week but…I can't tell him yet because of it. He is to fragile right now, and I don't want to push him away."
This puzzled David. After all why would bullying affect someone ability to be in a relationship… "Blaine…What happened to Kurt?" David knew it was unlikely he'd receive an answer, but he just had to ask.
Blaine shifted again, "I…you can't tell anyone, ok? Not even Wes." David nodded. "His main tormenter…he, well kissed him…"
Silence
"WHAT! You mean one of the people giving him a hard time kissed him? As in without permission? Like sexual assault?"
Blaine nodded slowly
"Shit…" David defiantly hadn't seen that coming. "That was why he called you last week?"
"Yeah, and since then all I can get out of him regarding this…this Neanderthal is that he is getting creepier, I mean Kurt hasn't been really specific about it, but he shivers whenever we do talk about it. And I just KNOW that something when down today that he won't tell me about." Blaine stressed the last sentence.
Again David sighed rubbing his eyes with his hands, maybe German wasn't so bad…it would certainly be less stressful. "Blaine this is serious. I understand Kurt not wanting to worry his father, but…" the words died in his mouth. "When is the next time you plan on seeing him?"
"Tomorrow. We are getting lunch, then going to a movie followed by coffee."
Not dating yet huh? "Try to talk to him. Let him know you care, even if you don't tell him your feelings. And let him know we care too. Even though we really don't know him we don't want anything to happen. See if you can convince him to come back to Dalton and…we can have a movie night or something. Just you, me, Kurt, and Wes. We can watch West Side Story or Little Shop of Horrors, and maybe he'll talk more. He can spend the night…" If tuition were cheaper I'd say we can look into his transfer…
"You think that would be ok?"
"Wes is valediction. I think if anyone can convince the administration it's him."
"Ok, I'll try that…and David?" Blaine added as he stood.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
A/N: I don't know exactly how long this story will be, but I hope to finish or nearly finish before the 9th. Winter term starts then and as I am an English major I do enough writing…although sadly never as fun as fanfiction. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
