Big Brother Kurt

The Beginning

It was a rainy, cold night. You were huddling anywhere you could for warmth and shelter. You had been kicked out of your house, onto the street a couple weeks ago, at age 8. You don't really understand why, and it breaks your heart, but you have started to realize that you have a more important thing to do rather than wonder what you did wrong. Survive.

You are hiding in a covered alleyway when you make eye contact with a man, blond, thin, blue eyes, smoking a cigarette. You're huddled up in oversized sweaters that you fished out of a donation box. Those are for the less fortunate, after all.

The man looks at you with a look of concern. "Are you out here all alone? In the cold?"  You nod hesitantly. "You're just a kid, you're going to die out here.."

He seems to think for a minute. "I'm Kurt." He puts his cigarette in him mouth and extends his hand to you. You take it, shaking in the cold, and he stands you up. He takes the cigarette out of his mouth and drops it on the wet pavement. "I don't know why you're out here all alone, do you want to come home with me? get some good food, get warm?" 

You look at him for a second to figure out if you should. You nod hesitently. After all, its take your chances with Kurt or take your chances with Hypothermia. "Come 'ere" he says, putting his hands both out to you, and then picking you up. He's so warm. He takes you to the car, where he puts you in the backseat. 

After he closes the car door, you hear him call out. "Dave! Krist! We.. We have a.. situation!" Soon after, two other men walk to Kurt. Assumedly Krist and Dave. They start talking quietly but you can't really hear any actual words coming through.

Soon, they all get into the car with you. One of them gets in the backseat with you. "Hey, I'm Krist." He says, holding his hand out for a handshake. You shake his hand. "I... I'm (Y/N)"  You say quietly. 

The other man turns around in his seat to face you. "Hi, (Y/N), I'm Dave, we're all going to go to Kurt's so you can get warm and have some food." He smiles at you. You smile back at him.

On the drive to Kurt's house you're still shivering, and Dave gives you his sweater. You feel bad for taking it, but it felt so warm after being worn by him, that you appreciated it more than anything else. 

You get to the house and Kurt picks you up and carries you in, in attempt to keep you nice and warm on the way in. 

You give Dave back his sweater when you get inside and thank him for letting you wear it at all. It's nice and warm in Kurt's place, but he still hands you someblankets in case you need them. He figured if he was going to take you in, he should definitely take care of you. 

They get you all wrapped up on the couch and they make you a few sandwiches. "It's not gourmet or some shi-- or some stuff but it's better than nothing, kid, please eat it." Kurt says to you as he hands you a plate of sandwiches.

You eat the sandwiches. To the boys surprise, all of them. You haven't really eaten much since you were kicked out, you were hungry. 

"Kurt.?" You ask for his attention quietly. "Thank you. For the food and the warm shelter.. You're going to drop me back out when it's warmer, aren't you?" 

Kurt looks concerned and vaguely offended at the assumption. "No, you're just a kid, you don't belong out there. There are terrible people out there, I don't want to leave you out there, all alone. Fuc-... Forget that. You should stay here with me. We can take care of you. Okay?"

You nod and smile at him. "Thank you so so much!" You say again, before jumping up and hugging him. 

He's surprised at first but then pats you on the head. "Of course, (Y/N)."

The other two boys chime in. "We can be like your dads!" Krist says. 

"Or, just big brothers, you know?" Dave seems to correct Krist. 

Kurt chuckles. "Big brothers, yeah"

"Thanks for finding me and being my big brother, Kurt" You say trying to express how thankful you are.

"Of course, (Y/N). Of course."
