Klaine: I've Made it This Far.

UBER ANGSTY.
This is a scene from this beautiful fic: [link] Called 'Knife Going In.'


He reached over and took Kurt's hands, folding his fingers around his. "You do know you didn't do anything to deserve this, right?"

Kurt looked away sharply. "I know," he said in a low voice.

Blaine gently placed his fingers under Kurt's chin and tilted his face back towards him. Kurt couldn't fight him. "I don't think you're convinced," he said. "Kurt, you haven't done anything to deserve. And you certainly didn't do anything to deserve carrying this entire burden by yourself."

Kurt froze. "I…I have to," he whispered. "I don't…I can't…"

Blaine kept Kurt's chin in his gentle grip. "Please tell me," he said softly.

Kurt tore away from him, digging his hands into the blankets. "Blaine, I can't," he said. "I…I can't, I don't know what to do anymore, but I just…I just can't…"

"Kurt, please," Blaine said. "Please, just talk to me." He put his hand on Kurt's thigh, the slight pressure warm and scary and oddly comforting. "You trusted me once. I was the one you called when Karofsky kissed you. Just trust me again."

"I can't," Kurt whimpered. His hand throbbed and his head ached and his stomach twisted. "I've made it this far. I'll be fine. I'm fine."

Blaine's hand tightened on his thigh. "Kurt, when you first confided in me, you came to me because I was a mentor," he said. "You opened up because I knew what you were going through. Being teased, being harassed…I know what it's like. And no, I don't know what you're going through right now, but I want to help you."

"I can't," Kurt whispered, his throat tightening.
