FILL: Better Days (2a/?) - Klaine AU 2.07 (Homophobia, Violence, Bullying) homeless!Blainesynia09June 6 2012, 17:05:12 UTC
A/N: I'm so sorry this looked abandoned for so long, I seriously cannot apologize enough. I had a couple serious emergencies taking over my life (hospitals were involved) and I just didn't have time for much else. Anyway, things are back to normal now and I'm definitely not abandoning this until it's finished, I promise. Hopefully you're still interested in reading. Here, have two chapters as a bribe for your forgiveness! ;) And thank you so much to those who commented!

Sorrow found me when I was young Sorrow waited, sorrow won I live in a city sorrow built
Kurt had been called many things in his life but jerk was never one of it. It caught his attention despite being a pretty vanilla - not to mention uninventive - insult. It might have had something to do with the fact the other boy had a point, because while Kurt had only spoken the truth - harsh as it was - it had been uncalled for. Or maybe Kurt had just been startled by the strong emotion behind Blaine's words. He didn't know why but the moment stuck with him all day, replaying itself in his mind.
In fact it distracted him so well that he didn't notice Karofsky and Azimio cornering him behind the science wing, just out of sight of the courtyard. Luckily it didn't get further than shoves and name calling because Coach Beiste happened to walk by and the two rapidly faked innocence while Kurt took the chance to walk away. After what had happened in the locker room - the kiss Kurt was still trying to erase from his memory - not one day had gone by without a reminder that he wasn't safe.
He felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.

Kurt had been used to being left out his entire life and that had made him a good observer. Until Glee Club changed his life he had only been able to watch from the outside as other people made friends and went on with their lives, imagining the day he would have all those things too. He had never stopped hoping and he had been rewarded, he had friends now but he kept looking, waiting for other missing pieces. He wasn't sure why his eyes kept straying to Blaine when their paths crossed, Kurt had never really paid much attention to the boy. No one did, but Kurt knew what it felt like to be invisible and that was what Blaine seemed to be to everyone. He never talked unless he was called on and he didn't hang out with anyone. If someone happened to talk to him it was always brief and then they went back to ignoring him. Kurt had been there and no matter how much he had told himself he liked his solitude, nobody liked it that much.
Then one morning something happened. Kurt was pushing Artie's wheelchair as they walked towards the school entrance with Tina. Kurt's gaze landed on Blaine and he froze as he took in Blaine's clothes, his cardigan in particular. Kurt knew that cardigan. It was dark blue and had belonged to Kurt until he had donated it to Goodwill. It couldn't be a coincidence because Kurt remembered replacing the original buttons with new ones when one broke in a dumpster fall. Seeing that cardigan on Blaine was like a punch in the gut to Kurt and once again he thought of his rude comment. What if he had hit close to home? Kurt knew that there were people losing their jobs and homes in this bad economy. What if Blaine's family was going through something like that? Of course that was when Blaine looked up and glared at him, causing Kurt to avert his eyes in what felt a lot like shame.
