Hi! So, after reading a whole lotta fics on here, I was inspired to write one of my own. Klaine, of course. Now, it's my very first fic so I'm pretty unsure about it, although the idea came to me after watching the movie 'Beaches', which this fic is loosely based on. This chapter's really short as I just wanted to give it a sorta test-run, so I don't even know if I'll continue with it yet. But yeah it was a lotta fun to write so hopefully I will! Please read!
Kurt Hummel is 10 years of age when he befriends a very lost Blaine Anderson on the beach one summer holiday in Florida. They become the best of friends, but when the holiday ends, Blaine has to go back to his home in New Jersey while Kurt must go back to Lima, Ohio. They begin writing letters. As Kurt and Blaine grow older, Kurt begins to realize that other kids aren't like them, and that their friendship is a lot more special than anyone could ever know. After all, in their eyes, no matter how far apart they are, they'll always be together. Loosely Based on 'Beaches'.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kurt or Blaine or Burt or any Glee characters, sadly their all property of Ryan Murphy and Fox, nor do I own the movie 'Beaches'.
Chapter one: Kurt Hummel makes a friend
Kurt Hummel is 10 years old when he's taken on a summer vacation to Florida by his Dad. It was their second day in Florida, Miami Beach to be exact, and young Kurt is very excited to be spending his second day at the beach, which was just two blocks away from the hotel.
Kurt takes final look at his giant sandcastle, the 6th one he'd built since his arrival on the sand, before sighing to himself. He looks up at his Dad on the sun longer, who was slowly transforming into a human tomato. Kurt decides he wants to explore the beach, he's always been a bit of an explorer and there's not much else to do. It's not like he has any friends. He hastily lets his Dad know that he's going exploring and is just about able to determine a muttered reply, saying that he is going back to the hotel and that Kurt's curfew is 4pm.
Kurt heads towards the sea, noticing many children playing together on the sand as he passed. I wish I had that many friends, he thought to himself.
As he walks alongside the sea, a young boy on his knees playing with a small stick in the sand catches his eye. The boy seems to be around the same age as Kurt, with dark curly hair and a green plaid t-shirt tucked into grey trousers. He also had suspenders and a bow tie. Doesn't seem very suitable for the beach, Kurt thought before noticing the lone boy was crying.
"Are you all right?" Kurt asks, walking over and ducking his head to meet the boy's eyes.
"Y-Y-Yeah" He stutters, sniffing, "I'm just a bit lost."
"Oh..well..d-do you live here?" Kurt asks, sitting down with the boy. He notices his eyes straight away, they're really nice, he thinks, like super nice. They're beautiful.
"N-No, I'm just here on vacation, I'm from New Jersey. I wandered here from my hotel about an hour ago and..I c-can't find my way b-back" He bursts into tears once again and Kurt pities the boy, he hates getting lost.
"I don't live here either." Kurt says, hesitantly putting his hand on the boy's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. He sees the action as successful when the boy stops crying so hard. "I live in Ohio. I'm on vacation here too, with my Dad." Kurt says, pausing and thinking for a moment, "Maybe..maybe I can try to help you find your way back!"
"Really?" The boy asks, a glimmer of hope in his young, hazel eyes.
"Yeah, I mean, I remember passing a few hotels on the way here so maybe I can walk you there..to see if you recognise any of 'em!"
"I'd like that." The other boy says, smiling a watery smile as he stands up. Kurt stands up too and notices the boy is a few inches shorter than himself. He also realizes he doesn't know the boy's name yet.
"I'm Kurt," Kurt says with a friendly smile, hold his hand out for the other boy to shake.
"Blaine," the boy replies timidly, shaking Kurt's hand.
"I like that name. Blaine." Kurt thinks aloud and doesn't notice Blaine's coloring face beside him.
"Well I guess we'd better get going," Kurt starts, " I have to be back at my hotel by 4 and want to make sure you find your way back. Do you remember anything about your hotel?"
"Um, I'd know it if I see it..I just can't remember what it's called or how to get there."
"Okay." They share a quick smile as they begin walking. Blaine seems very quiet, Kurt notes, he doesn't speak too much.
Kurt decides to breaks the sudden silence that had come over them. "So, Do you come here often? To Miami Beach, I mean."
"Actually this is my first time..but my parents are thinking of getting a summer house here so I may be coming here a lot more," Blaine says.
"That's cool. I'd love to have a summer house!" Kurt replies happily. Blaine just smiles in response and Kurt can't help noticing how shy he's being. When they finally reach the road that Kurt was talking about, Blaine's little face lights up at once.
"That's it! That's it! That's my hotel!" Blaine cries excitedly. Kurt scans the sign at the front of the hotel, 'Delano Hotel, five star'. Wow, five star. Blaine's parents must be rich, Kurt assumes before being pulled out of his thoughts as Blaine suddenly pulls him into a tight hug.
"Thank you so much, Kurt! Thank you so much! I thought..I thought I was lost forever!" He mumbles. Kurt smiles as Blaine lets him go, pleased with the fact he seems to have made a new friend. And judging by the look on this new friend's face, the feeling's mutual.
"Um, well, I'd better go see my Mom..she'll be real worried." Blaine mutters, almost sadly. "D-Do you think you'll be at the beach tomorrow?"
"Definitely," Kurt replies instantly, seeing Blaine smile again.
"Great!" Blaine exclaims, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Kurt!"
"Bye, Blaine!" Kurt responds before receiving yet another thank you and watches the boy walk into the hotel.
Kurt sighs happily as he makes his way back to his own accommodation. He has a friend. The smile doesn't leave his face for the rest of the day.
