OMG! Kurt has to do something! Don't keep it a secret. He needs to tell Burt about what happened to Blaine so he can get help!

If only life was that simple. Burt could help, a lot, but can Kurt go behind Blaine's back to ask him? Questions. <3

I'm sitting there crying, and I reach the end and I want to copypasta everything I loved in this chapter only to realize I would be just putting the whole chapter in here. I could picture it all so clearly -- the cramped bathroom, Puck being exactly what Blaine needs (I loved Puck so much this chapter), Blaine hidden behind Puck, the Puck/Kurt standoff of sorts, Kurt and Blaine holding hands on the bathroom floor as Blaine confesses everything. There was this quiet, incredibly moving sadness to all the lines, and I remember thinking around Blaine's relief at having told Kurt that this is what good angst is like.

I will quote this though: "Kurt is handing me my courage back. I have to take it." I loved this line on so many levels, from the obvious courage = Blaine, to how Kurt just being there for him continues to empower him, to how Blaine feels this obligation to the world to be a stand-up guy. Completely perfect. Perfect chapter overall, you've done an amazing job. ♥

Thank you so much, I never know what to say to you. I always feel like I could thank you better but I don't quite know how. :)
Your feedback is very encouraging; when I post a chapter I always wonder what you'll have to say. It's always so nice to read your thoughts on certain things, especially those things that I maybe wasn't too sure about myself.

I'm glad you mentioned quietness because when I imagined it the bathroom was almost so silent it hurt. It turns out I must be quite angsty because even when I write fluff in merges into angst. I think maybe Ijust like to explore raw emotions.

Kurt does empower him, so much. <3 They're kind of tragic, Blaine's obligations, they both hold him back and keep him going.

Thank you, lovely.

I really, really love the characters in this story. You write them so well, so in character, and everything is so realistic and easily pictured. I adore it. And I can so clearly feel Blaine's helplessness, it made me cry. Seriously, every chapter of this story I end up in tears.

Thank you, I'm so happy to read that you like my characters. I'm especially glad that you think they're in character because at this point I constantly fear that I might wander off track. :)
I'm also glad you find this realistic because even though I have no idea how a situation like this would go down I like to think this is perfectly valid.
Aww, I don't mean to make you cry every single chapter! I swear. But thank you for caring so much. In fact, thanks for everything!

It's very awkward to cry at work because 1) I shouldn't even be online 2) I'm crying at work and anyone could just come in my office. Oh God, why you gotta make me cry.

I don't think you understand how much I love your Puck. It kind of makes me cry a little harder, the way he is taking all of this and reacting, I don't see that a lot in fics. I love Blaine/Puck friendship. God, I love this fic.

Haha! I'm sorry! My inner Blaine makes you cry, blame him! :)

I love my Puck too, he's an amazing person. Yeah, he's pretty fragile too he just knows how to handle things better than Blaine.

I'm also a lover of the Blaine/Puck friendship situation. It should happen in canon because it would be amazingly great!

Thank you so much, lovely.
