(Let's just say that in the spirit of fairness, since they were going to let Finn spend the night at Rachel's, Kurt's parents let him stay at Blaine's.)
It isn't until that night, his arms around Blaine as they fall asleep, that Kurt finally lets himself think about his 'secret admirer.' About who spent the week following him around, disguised, writing him notes and leaving things in his locker.
He’d gotten past it. He forgave Karofsky ages ago. They sat in Scandals and talked like adults, and Kurt thought they’d ended things on a good note. Karofsky had matured as a person, and Kurt was happy for him. Really happy.
But to think, for even one minute… Kurt shudders and shifts around, so that he can tuck his head beneath Blaine’s chin. Blaine, his boyfriend. Blaine, his savior. Blaine, who drove almost two hours the day after they met just because Kurt called him.
Kurt had spent the week telling everyone about his secret admirer, about how wonderful his boyfriend was, how romantic, how sweet. And tomorrow, when everyone asks (will anyone ask?), what does he say? He can’t possibly explain without going back to the beginning, and what’s the point of drudging all that up again?
“Kurt?” Blaine mumbles, arms tightening around him. “Y’kay?”
“Fine,” Kurt murmurs.
He tries his hardest to shake it all off. To reach that point he had before Breadstix, where he’d forgiven everything and buried it deep.
The only dream he remembers in the morning is being trapped in the locker room, Karofsky’s hands on him, and Karofsky’s voice whispering in his ear, You’re mine forever.
He wakes up crying to Blaine’s panicked questions, and lunges off the bed, hurrying to the toilet so he can purge all the candy from his body.
Of course, that doesn’t reassure Blaine at all. But he just crouches next to Kurt, supports his weight, and keeps up a steady murmur of, “You’re alright, it’ll be okay, you’re okay, it’ll be alright.”
He can feel bruises on his back, bruises he hasn’t had in over a year. He feels tainted, and sick, and he can’t stop shuddering.
“Babe,” Blaine says, “please. Tell me what’s wrong.”
It’s like the week they met all over again. He’d gotten past this. Karofsky had moved on, Kurt had forgiven him, and it was all over.
But it’s not. Karofsky spent a week stalking him. Let him think it was Blaine, and honestly seemed to think they could ever be together. Kurt heaves again, and Blaine says, “Kurt.”
Kurt falls back against him and asks, “Please just hold me.”
So Blaine does. They go back to bed and burrow beneath the covers, and Kurt stutters out the whole thing, and Blaine clenches his jaw, but his hands are gentle on Kurt’s skin.
“I love you,” Blaine tells him.
Kurt’s smile is shaky and he closes his eyes and he listens to Blaine hum ‘Somewhere Only We Know.’

Loved it - very visceral. And Blaine humming SOWK at the end was just love (it's one of my all time favorite Glee covers)
