FILL: Part 7c (Kurt/Puck, Puck!abuse)

[jooseboxx]

For the whole day, when he's out of class, Kurt texts Noah just to talk about ridiculous stuff -like why marshmallows are oddly satisfying in breakfast cereal even if they are slightly gross when they're covered in milk, or if Judge Judy is a real Judge and if she is how do you get to see her court cases. It's the most they've talked ever, and Kurt finds it so easy, even if that's just because Noah can't see him blush or smile or roll his eyes. Noah goes to bed earlier that night, because Lauren is picking him up for school in the morning and Kurt is on the phone to his Dad before he ends up going to bed too. It's one of the longest and hardest conversations he's had with his father over the phone, but he can hear Finn in the background after they've really started getting into the issues. He can hear Finn interject on a few of his Dad's points, apparently the bullying at McKinley has decreased greatly since Coach Sylvester threatened five jocks with waterboarding after one of them made Brittany cry because she was holding hands with Santana. Finn is fairly adamant that he can protect Kurt, that brothers stick by each other and he'll do it. Carole even throws in her two cents and Kurt feels his Dad's resolve start to crumble. He's pretty sure his Dad misses having him at home too.

There are meetings with the Headmaster at Dalton the next day, and Kurt realises that he needs to talk to Blaine. He asks Blaine to meet him in the library, because it feels as good a place as any, during lunch. It's also when he gets another text from Noah. Fst day bck. they md me go to cls. hw lm. b bttr if u wr hr. hws the unfrm? He doesn't get to text back before Blaine arrives and it's probably best if he's not texting the boy he's in love with while he's breaking up with his boyfriend.

"Is everything okay Kurt? I saw your dad here." Of course Blaine did, and Kurt feels bad that he's doing all of this in the one go. He's already packed everything he owns, he's leaving that night, because apparently, he can still transfer out because he hasn't been enrolled for the full semester.

"I um, I'm leaving, actually. I'm going back to McKinley." Blaine's surprised, Kurt can see it. He asks why and what about the bullying and if it's something that happened at Dalton, if there's anything he can do. Kurt just shakes his head. "This place is great, and so are all the people, but it's just not right for me." The uniform makes everyone equal, but no one stands out, and Kurt was born to stand out, "It's just, I miss home." Blaine seems to see something, because he nods slowly and his head drops.

"You don't want to try this long distance, do you?" Kurt just sighs.

"You're great, you really are. But I think, I think I'm falling into the same trend that Rachel did. I love the idea of you, but I don't love you." For the longest time, Kurt had this image of what his first love would be, of how it would play out and all the magical moments they'd have. It was just a fantasy, and he didn't even realise it until he almost lost real love. "I think we're much better as friends, but I'll understand if you don't want that." Blaine shakes his head and closes a hand over Kurt's.

"Of course we'll be friends, Kurt. We've always been friends."

By three thirty, Kurt is in his Dad's car, driving back home to Lima with everything in the back. Finn meets him at the door with a big grin on his face and a hug. Kurt's never felt more like family than right then. Carole is out just after Finn, wrapping both boys up in a hug. "I didn't tell anyone, just like you asked." Finn says with a sheepish look. "I had to tell Mercedes I had a boys doctor thing to get away from her, but I didn't say anything about you." Kurt feels bad about making Finn avoid it, but he wants it to be a big surprise, in more ways than one.
