How did I end up here? I'm not… I never do this.
Things don't turn out okay for me. That's not how my life works. I get something good, and then it's immediately followed by six or seven bad things to balance it out. I have a good life with Glee and Mercedes, and then my dad has a heart attack. I meet Blaine, who finally makes me feel like I'm not a total freak, and then tall, dark, and stupid chooses to beat me into submission, and steals my first kiss when the beatings don't work. My life is supposed to suck, okay? That's how it works.
So, when I transferred to Dalton Academy, I knew there had to be some sort of catch. I used to stay up nights thinking what the catch could be. I escape Karofsky… but Blaine is straight. I go to a school without fear of being bullied… but I fail out in the first semester. I get to be close to the guy I like… but Karofsky transfers and I have to deal with him here too.
Day to day, the work is harder, but that can't be the catch. I don't get a solo, but I'm new so that's not a big surprise. There has to be something…
"Kurt?" a muffled voice penetrates my thoughts. I blink back to reality, but I almost don't believe it is reality at all. Blaine is lying beneath me on the couch, with his arms wrapped so tightly around me I can feel his heartbeat reverberating throughout my body.
"I'm here," I smile softly.
"Good," he mumbles, shifting a little and drifting back asleep.
He wakes up about once an hour, making sure I'm still here. And, of course, I am.
I snuggle a little closer to him, basking in his scent and the fact that I even have the opportunity to snuggle closer. I honestly can't believe last night even happened.
