Hi hope you enjoy this chapter
TRIGGER WARNINGS again do apply
School the next day was boring as hell. He sat through math and English barely paying attention as the teachers droned on, Kurt mindlessly wrote answers to the problems. Kurt was smart, not genius level or anything but he could do the work expected of him, the problem of being in a public school meant people were at different levels of ability, so the teacher had to explain everything in great details.
Now Kurt was sat in the choir room with the guys and Mr Schue, they were waiting for the girls to perform. The guys still hadn't told him what they were performing but right now Kurt didn't care. His phone buzzed in Kurt's pocket indicating he had a text.
Hey Kurt :) – Elliott
Kurt smiled at the text, since he had met the three Warblers Elliott, Seb and Blaine had been constantly talking with them. It felt like they had been friends for years. After they spoke at Dalton they all went to get another coffee at the Lima Bean. Each of the boys shared their own experiences at their schools before they moved to Dalton.
Sebastian had been bullied in Paris, well he said bullied. He got attacked once and his father pulled him out. But the hate had still been there, it still hurt him. Sebastian was a hard faced person, he seemed like a bitch on the outside but inside he was kind and cared about people.
Blaine had been well liked before people found out he was gay. He had confided in his supposed best friend who had then outed him. He also told the story about the Sadie Hawkins dance where he and the only other out kid at his school were attacked.
Elliott had been attacked by the entire football team and left for dead. The team had cornered him one night and beaten him unconscious. Kurt held Elliott's as he had described the extent of his injuries. Elliott had ended up in a coma for three weeks, broken ribs and arms. His parents had transferred him when he had recovered.
Hey back- Kurt
You doing anything after school? - Elliott
Nope, but I'm sure you've got plans for me-Kurt
You bet I have coffee and lots of it-Elliott
Just us or are Seb and Blaine coming?-Kurt
Just us for now but you can guarantee they will turn up, the Lima Bean is the local coffee shop for Dalton and those two love coffee almost as much as life itself-Elliott
Sure meet you there-Kurt
"White boy, you paying attention?" Mercedes' voice made him look up
"Sorry what?" Kurt asked sheepishly
"I can't believe it, he is so lost in his little world he didn't even notice our performance" Rachel cried
"Relax Rachel, it's not like I haven't heard you sing before" Kurt sighed
"True but this performance could have moved you, made you support my daring decision to mix Start Me Up with Livin' on a prayer." Rachel explained dramatically
"What's so important that you were so distracted Kurt?" Tina asked,
"Nothing" Kurt shrugged
"Don't try that Kurt, who are you talking to?" Mercedes asked, leaning over to grab his phone, Kurt moved it just out of her reach which just ended up making her want it even more. But then the bell went, signalling the end of the school day, Kurt had never been more grateful.
"Sorry, I have to go." Kurt said, getting up and running out the room.
He quickly ran to his car before any of the New Directions could catch up to him or the Karofsky got out of his lessons. Nerves bubbled inside his stomach. The thought of seeing Elliott again made him bounce up and down in his seat. It was nice to have friends but Kurt wanted more. He knew his crush on Elliott was a bit premature but the more he got to know him the more Kurt was beginning to fall for the other boy, and he was falling fast. Elliott was a safety blanket; he helped Kurt forget that every night he sat curled up in a ball with razor blades in his hand.
When he pulled up onto the Lima Bean car park he could see Elliott through the window waiting in line. Kurt got out of his car and went up to Elliott.
"Hi," Kurt said grabbing Elliott's shoulders, making the other boy jump.
"Hi," he replied laughing as they ordered their coffee.
"So how was school" Elliott asked when they sat down
"Boring as usual, I swear I could do the classes in my sleep." Kurt laughed
"You should come to Dalton; the classes there would keep you awake, and if that failed the teachers would definitely make sure of it."
"But I can't, Dalton costs money, and I have no money" Kurt frowned and Elliott sighed
"I know, that sucks. What does your dad do again?"
"He's a mechanic" Kurt replied slightly confused at the sudden topic change "Why?"
"Okay, here's the plan. I will break my Dad's car, nothing to major, and then I will make him take it to your Dad's garage. Then once its fixed he can leave a tip, a very large tip, and say "For your son" and then you can go to Dalton" Elliott said, excited with his own crazy scheme
"Elliott that's crazy" Kurt laughed
"Why, I personally thought it was amazing."
"Because; one, do you know anything about cars? You could do some serious damage" Elliott just shrugged "Two, don't you think that's a bit weird, some random guy giving my Dad money meant for me. And three how do you think your Dad would react, I don't think he'd be to please paying for some kids education, you've barely known me five minutes."
"Seriously my Dad wouldn't care. He is the kind of guy who just does things and doesn't think. He loves the dog more than me and my mom and he genuinely wants to buy a goat. For no other reason than the man on the TV told him to. I swear without my mom he would have brought some seriously crazy shit."
"It's very sweet of you to offer Elliott but seriously, It's okay, I'll deal with the Neanderthals for a few years before I can be free" Kurt smiled, Elliott put his hand on top of Kurt's.
"I know that it's a crazy plan, but I just want you safe." Elliott said squeezing Kurt's hand "Kurt, you are not safe at McKinley, I know your friends go there but you are not safe."
"I know but there is nothing I can do, I can't tell my Dad about the bullying, he is sick, the Dr says he has to stay away from stress."
"You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" Elliott said, Kurt nodded
Elliott looked like he was going to say something else but before he could two boys walked up to the table. They were both wearing Dalton uniforms and Kurt recognised them as Warblers. One was tall and bleach blonde hair (Which Kurt definitely thought was dyed) and the other was a similar height but with styled brown hair. The two were holding hands which made Kurt think they were dating- or they were really good friends.
"Hi Elliott, Hello spy" The brunnette boy said
"Hello Jeff, Nick, he has a name you know." Elliott laughed
"Yes but if we know his name, we are helping him spy" the other boy replied
"His name is Kurt, Nick, and he isn't spying now is he." Elliot said, Kurt waved at the two boys, Jeff waved back.
"I love your jacket" Jeff said as he sat down, gesturing to Kurt's outfit
"Thank you" Kurt blushed, not used to the attention
"One bad thing about Dalton is the uniform, I have to wear this and not my normally fabulous attire" Jeff cried dramatically.
"It's okay baby" Nick said, kissing Jeff on the cheek.
So definitely boyfriends, or REALLY close friends.
"We have to go shopping some time; you can never have enough clothes, right?" Jeff said excitedly
"Every day is an opportunity for fashion," Kurt smiled
"Erm, Baby I'm busy that day" Nick said sheepishly
"It's ok Nicky I meant for just me and Kurt, you are not expected to come," Jeff said to his, boyfriend? Before turning to Kurt "He doesn't like shopping with me, he says I buy too much stuff"
"You do, good luck Kurt because I swear to whatever God there is you will never leave the store" Nick said dramatically leaning on the table.
"I'm sure we will be fine, right Jeff" Kurt laughed, Jeff nodded but he could see Elliott shaking his out the corner of his eye.
"Never leaving the store" Nick repeated.
"If it isn't the gay brigade" a familiar voice snarled, Kurt looked up to see Karofsky standing over the table, Elliott, Jeff and Nick all looked confused and Kurt suddenly lost the ability to speak.
"Gay brigade, I like it, I should make T-Shirts" David said, suddenly appearing behind Karofsky, accompanied with Wes, Blaine, Thad, Trent and Sebastian.
"Yeah do you mind if we use that phrase?" Sebastian asked, resting an arm on Karofsky's shoulder
"Get off me Homo" Karofsky growled
"Why so touchy?" Blaine asked
"Scared the gay will catch?" Elliott added
"If he's scared of being gay why come here, to the place where all the Dalton boys go?" Jeff question
"We all know the rumours about Dalton boys." Wes finished
"I'm here to tell that little freak that he's disgusting." Karofsky spat, pointing at Kurt
"Bit harsh coming from someone looking like you" Nick retorted, the Warblers sniggered.
"What are you trying to say?" Karofsky said, lifting his fist in a threat
"Wow, you're right Kurt, he is a bit simple" Elliott said calmly
"Just go home Karofsky back to your idiot friends" Kurt said tiredly
"You're not welcome here" Trent added, looking at his own nails, just as bored
Karofsky stormed out of the Lima Bean, pushing Thad into Wes as he went. Muttering something like "fucking homos" but nobody reacted. As soon as Karofsky had walked out the door Wes muttered "Good riddance"
"Is he the Neanderthal?" Elliott asked, squeezing Kurt's hand again. Kurt nodded, fighting back tears.
"Look Kurt, he won't forget us in a hurry," David said "If he does anything to you tell us and we'll sort him out"
"What if we've just made it worse though?" Kurt whispered
"Then we'll protect you," Thad smiled
"You might not be an official Warbler, but you're a friend" Trent added
"Warblers protect their own" Sebastian finished
"When I told you we were your friends I meant all of us" Elliott said to Kurt
"You know what will make us all feel better" Jeff said suddenly "A shopping trip"
The majority of the Warblers groaned playfully but Trent clapped his hands.
This was going to be fun
I hope you like it, tell me what you think.
