Klaine AU from 2.07 (Homophobia, Violence)
anonymous
October 5 2011, 22:04:45 UTC
During English class, Kurt Hummel turns to Blaine and casually says, "Blaine, you smell homeless."
Blaine Anderson is homeless. His parents abandoned him in the hospital after the Sadie Hawkin's dance. Blaine doesn't want to get put in the foster care system (knowing how bad and terrible it is), so he works at Six Flags/various jobs and lives in random places. He hides his homeless status from everyone and makes it a point never to get too close to anyone at all.
Blaine carries around a backpack, which contains all of his belongings. He's just trying to make it through each day, and doesn't really appreciate the comment Kurt made.
Kurt is being bullied horribly, and is the first person to notice that Blaine is homeless. They try to help each other. It doesn't go well, but at least they have one another.

While he slowly walked back home he kept wondering what had happened to Blaine and how long he had been in that situation, but he kept coming up empty because he didn't know anything about the boy or his family. His family. Where were they? Kurt thought of his dad, his rock. Kurt had often felt alone but in the end he had always been able to count on his dad. Blaine on the other hand seemed to be completely alone.

On Monday Kurt's suspicions that Blaine hated him were confirmed by the boy snarling at him about the coat. Kurt couldn't believe he had made such a stupid mistake but then again he hadn't really been thinking straight that morning. He was mad at Blaine for being impossible but he was also mad at himself for making things worse. He didn't have the energy to do anything about it though. He didn't know what to expect from Blaine and he briefly wondered if the boy would turn out to be one more problem but he was too tired to even worry about that. Tired of fighting his way through the day. Tired of pretending he wasn't

A/N: just a reminder that this is AU and I'm taking advantage of that and changing a bit the order in which some things happened. Hope you don't mind. Everything should be clear as the story progresses.

Made a wrong turn once or twice Dug my way out, blood and fire Bad decisions, that's alright Welcome to my silly life
A couple days went by with Blaine barely seeing Kurt. Blaine kept telling himself he was only watching him because now that Kurt sort of knew about him he was like a ticking bomb waiting to blow up in Blaine's face, but the more he observed him the less it seemed likely. Kurt appeared more withdrawn than usual, only lighting up around his friends and even then it looked a little forced.
After a week Blaine had to admit to himself that maybe Kurt had more important things to worry about than spreading rumors about him. Like fending off physical assaults, as Blaine unpleasantly discovered as he was walking behind the school.
The sight he was presented with was Azimio holding Kurt back while Karofsky punched Kurt in the

Surprised but curious now, Blaine cleared his throat to make himself known and Kurt's head whipped around.
"Hi."
Kurt couldn't have looked more surprised if an alien had just greeted him. "Hi…" Kurt uncertainly replied, "What are you doing here?" he asked as he got up, still looking very much like a deer caught in headlights.
Blaine gestured to the two boxes he was holding on one hand, "I have a delivery to this address."
Kurt frowned, "I didn't order any pizza."
With his free hand Blaine got out the piece of paper where he had the address and checked again, "Well, it's the right address but the name is-"
"Did I hear pizza?" Finn asked, poking his head out of the front door.
Blaine turned back to Kurt, "Hudson."
Kurt rolled his eyes, "Of course. Finn, why did you order pizza? There's plenty of food in the house."
"Yeah, healthy food. But after all this" he gestured to the mess littering the porch and garden, "I thought we could use some good food."
Kurt sighed, "I'm trying to get my dad to eat better… you know what? I'm not even going to argue

By the time that period rolled around Blaine was feeling even worse, he was tired, stuffed up and he felt like he was stuck in a bubble, barely aware of what was going on around him.
Their teacher took them outside and told them to start running, which Blaine did as slowly as he could get away with. After a couple rounds he started seeing black spots and the whole world seemed to be spinning around him, causing him to stumble and fall on his knees. He heard laughter around him and he planted his hands on the ground, not knowing whether he was trying to stop himself from falling or the world from spinning.
Then there was a hand on his shoulder.
"Blaine? What's wrong?"
Blaine didn't look up. "Nothing, I'm okay. Just a little bit dizzy."
A hand on his forehead.
"You're burning up! You must have a fever. Come on, I'll take you to the nurse."
One of Blaine's hands was slung around someone's shoulders and an arm went around his back to help him up. Blaine finally looked at the person, "Kurt? What are you doing?"
FILL: Better Days (3d/?) - Klaine AU 2.07 (Homophobia, Violence, Bullying) homeless!Blainesynia09June 6 2012, 17:16:22 UTC
"Did you run?" Kurt's voice brought him out of the fog again.
"What?" Blaine frowned and tried to focus his eyes on Kurt. Things were a little blurry at the moment. He really needed to sleep.
"From home." Kurt clarified, "Did you run away?"
A horrible sound came out of Blaine's throat then. It should have been laughter but it was too bitter and painful to qualify. He saw something a lot like sadness flash on Kurt's face but it didn't make any sense to him. Nobody cared enough to feel sadness for Blaine.
"I know it doesn't make much sense, because you're still coming to school and your family could easily find you, but what am I supposed to think?"
Blaine tensed, anger rising up in him. His head hurt, his chest felt constricted and all he wanted was for Kurt to go away. Go away and never come back.
"You're supposed to mind your own business."

Against all Blaine's wishes and expectations Kurt came back at the end of the school day. Blaine's fever-induced fog had lifted by then and he clearly remembered snapping at Kurt and him leaving

"Where to?"
Blaine told him the name of a motel he sometimes stayed at and rapidly explained him how to get there. They were silent for a few minutes until Blaine remembered something.
"Shouldn't you be with your Glee club?"
Kurt shrugged, his eyes never leaving the road, "They're busy planning a boys versus girls thing. They won't miss me."
Blaine wanted to ask why, weren't those Kurt's friends? But then again, what did he know about friendship? So he kept his mouth shut until Kurt parked in front of the motel and turned to Blaine, seemingly bracing himself for something.
"I wanted to tell you I'm sorry for what I said to you in class."
Blaine scoffed, "You're only sorry because now you know it's true."
"No, that only made it worse."
Blaine shook his head disbelievingly, looking out the window, "Why are you actually doing this, Kurt?"
"Because I know what it feels like when no one seems to care."
It was the pain in his voice that made Blaine turn and look at him again. Kurt was perfectly still, just watching Blaine. Looking in his eyes all

A/N: I'm so sorry about the lack of updates. I've had a pretty bad year but I'm here to finish this story.
Do I sit here and try to stand it? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again
It took Blaine four days of debating with himself before he talked to Kurt again. Blaine had been homeless for a year and Kurt was the first person to find out about him, so even though it didn't seem like Kurt was going to compromise him, Blaine still couldn't decide whether Kurt now represented a bigger risk than before and what to do about it. In the end he didn't make a decision, he didn't even think, he just acted. He had a free period so he went to the library to study as he always did and was about to sit down in his usual spot when he noticed Kurt sitting by himself at a table, apparently absorbed in whatever he was reading. Blaine had a moment of hesitation then walked over and sat

Kurt nodded, "I know, but people are weird. I just don't want you to get slushied or worse."
Blaine frowned, "I thought you didn't care about what other people think. That's the one thing I knew about you before I ever talked to you."
Kurt gave a him a small smile, "I don't but this is not about me."
"How about we work on this paper and if anything goes wrong, we go back to ignoring each other afterwards?" Blaine shrugged, ignoring the feeling that he was making a mistake even allowing this small exception.
Kurt's smile actually reached his eyes, and Blaine couldn't help but think that it was genuine, "Okay."
They spent the rest of the hour in silence working on their own but agreed to meet the next day after school to start brainstorming for their English project. Kurt smiled at him before leaving and Blaine told himself he was only doing this because it was safer to keep an eye on the one person who knew his biggest secret.

The following day Blaine was in the library five minutes before the agreed upon time. He sat himself at a table

"I only missed first period but I already have my homework and I have glee so I can't miss out on school." Kurt sounded exhausted, like he was doing everything on autopilot. "I'm sorry I didn't show up the other day-"
"I heard about your dad." Blaine interrupted him. "How is he?"
Kurt looked away, as if bracing himself, "He had a serious arrhythmia. He's stable now but he's in a coma. The doctors don't know if he's going to wake up."
"Kurt, I'm so sorry." Blaine spotted two of Kurt's glee friends exiting the cafeteria and frowned, "How come you're not with your friends?"
Kurt had followed his gaze and saw them too, "I needed to get away."
"Do you want me to leave you alone?"
Kurt shrugged, "Not unless you want to change my view on religion."
Blaine's frown deepened, "Why would I do that?"
Kurt shrugged again, "I wish I knew."
Blaine thought for a moment while Kurt finished putting his books away and closed his locker then he took a step back, his eyes fixed on Kurt, "Come with me."
"Where to?" Kurt asked, but he was already moving to follow

I'm so sorry I sort of dropped off the face of the earth and never got back to you. I feel awful. Thank you so much for commenting! If you're still interested in reading chapter five is now up. As for your question, yes he's gonna try that next chapter (which I'm currently editing). Blaine puts up some resistance though.
