kurt.
He snorts. Blaine was about as threatening as a puppy, and they already proved that Kurt didn’t stand a chance. That’s a cute idea. At least Blaine’s heart was in the right place, but he couldn’t honestly think that would work out well… “Sure, and then we can stitch each other’s wounds. Great bonding exercise..”
A sigh. “I know you mean well, Blaine, but there’s nothing we can do about this.” he says with a little shake of his head. He could go into hiding at night, stay in like a normal person. Not only boring but at this point it would be like backing down. And, even if he did, who’s to say that it would help? Stay in for a while, go out again and they try to prove a point by jumping him again when he goes out. Maybe they’ll get him on his way home, or to the store? Who knows. At this point he’s running out of places that feel safe alone- and he is, usually, alone. When he’s not he’s with the skanks, or at night he’s hopefully got someone’s tongue down his throat. Either way it doesn’t help when any of those people would turn tail and leave him there. In fairness, he’d probably do the same, but the point still stood.
Blaine frowns at the snort trying not to get offended that his offer drew that kind of a reaction. That was so not fair. Sure, Kurt was right but he would go down fighting for Kurt to be rid of these guys. No one deserved to go through life constantly looking over their shoulder and afraid. Because..like it or not? He knew Kurt was more than just tired of their antics. Accuse him of being scared? He’d never do that. But who wouldn’t be after ending up in an alleyway the way Blaine found him?
“Kurt,” he shook his head and scooted a bit closer but not close enough to be touching him much at all. But he wanted to get his point across and so he slid down against the pillows until they were eye level to one another. “There has to be something we can do because I can see what this is doing to you,” he whispered it softly and without accusation or even letting how deeply he was worried so. It was a concern that showed in his eyes and could be heard in his tone, yes. Restraint kept it from being so much that he’d make Kurt feel like he had to pull away because someone actually worried about him. Blaine didn’t want to lose his chance of being there for him and offering him that place he could feel safe when he needed it. “If you can’t avoid them and don’t think they’re going to get bored or back down, then.. Something’s gotta give. How many are there?”
