Before he has a chance to try to take it back, Blaine says, “I’m just going to tell him to leave you alone. That he can’t get away with harassing you here or he’ll get kicked out.” He catches Kurt’s gaze and gives him a small smile. “I can’t do much else. Let me do this.”
“I don’t need you to do anything,” Kurt says. He kind of likes that Blaine wants to, though. He finally nods, and winds up waiting impatiently in Blaine’s dorm room to find out how it went.
By the time Blaine gets back, Kurt has cleaned Blaine’s desk and organized his collection of Sharpie markers. He spins the desk chair around when the door opens behind him.
“What did he say?”
Blaine walks past Kurt to sit down on his bed.
“Blaine?” Kurt prompts. He looks him up and down for any injuries, suddenly worried that Karofsky beat Blaine up or something. “Are you hurt?” Kurt demands, standing up. He reaches for Blaine. He should have thought of that. He should never have let Blaine go and try to talk to Karofsky alone. That was such a stupid idea.
“What?” Blaine asks, leaning away from Kurt. “No, I’m fine.”
Kurt frowns. “You’re sure?”
“Of course I’m sure. I’m fine.”
“He didn’t hit you?”
“What? No. Why would he-“ Blaine stops himself and sighs. “Look, I talked to Karofsky. He doesn’t have it out for you or anything.”
“He-“
“He said his dad transferred him here to get him away from his friends in Lima, because they were a bad influence. He didn’t know you went here until that first day of class. He’s trying to get a fresh start where no one knows him. That’s kind of like why you came here, isn’t it? For a fresh start?”
Kurt shakes his head because no, that’s not why Kurt transferred to Dalton at all. Blaine knows that. In fact, Blaine is the only person who knows the whole story, from the confrontation in the locker room to the death threat in the hallway to his dad finding out to the school board deciding none of it mattered.
“He said he was sorry about earlier today.” Blaine continues, reaching out and taking hold of Kurt’s hands in each of his. Kurt stares down at them
“He said that in the hallway,” Kurt says.
“I really don’t think he meant to hurt you.”
Kurt’s pretty sure that Karofsky meant it when he’d threatened to kill him, but apparently he’s the only one. He pulls his hands away from Blaine and stands up. “Why are you taking his side?”
“What?”
“I thought you were on my side.”
Blaine blinks up at him, eyebrows drawn together. “Of course I am. I just think-”
“You’re taking his side just like everybody else does.”
“This isn’t about sides, Kurt.”
“Yes it is!” Kurt insists. “Because now you think I’m lying or that what he did just wasn’t bad enough and I had to move because of him. Did you think I wanted to leave all my friends and family and go to boarding school? That I just decided uprooting my whole life sounded like fun one day? That I did it for you? I did it because of him!”
“Kurt…” Blaine tries to touch his arm but Kurt jerks away.
“Don’t touch me.”
Kurt yanks the door open and runs down the hallway.
