We wish we did :D
Blaine sat on his bed with his head in his hands. He ran his fingers through his curls and smiled. You're a fool, he said to himself. It was officially Kurt's first day at Dalton . He hadn't even arrived yet but Blaine was showered and dressed. It was only 6 o'clock in the morning. Kurt wasn't expected until 12 in the afternoon. Blaine smoothed his uniform for what seemed like the billionth time. He looked in the mirror and smiled checking his face for flaws. He glanced at his watch again as if that would make time go faster. His phone rang.
My heart stops when you look at -,
"Hello" He tried his hardest to sound nonchalant. But, secretly his heart nearly jumped out of his chest every time he heard the ringtone. Because it meant that Kurt Hummel wanted to talk to him.
"Hey Blaine, so I'm freaking out. I don't know what to wear!" Blaine laughed and rolled his eyes. He was remembering how out of place Kurt looked when he first came to Dalton to be a "spy".
Kurt continued and ignored the fact that Blaine 's laugh still had the ability to make him blush over the phone. "There are so many options. I can't possibly choose one brand over another."
Blaine spoke calmly "Kurt,"
He was breathless. Oh the way he said his name...
"Yes?"
"We wear uniforms."
Kurt smiled and took a deep breath. While Blaine couldn't control his laughter, Kurt listened and giggled himself. They said their goodbyes and confirmed they'd see the other later.
Kurt walked to the front of the new school he just transferred to. Dalton. Kurt felt intimidated by the school. He knew their motto. Strive for excellence. He walked through the gigantic red wood doors that looked expertly hand carved with care. Kurt looked at his phone and opened an old text message.
Courage - Blaine
Courage?
Having courage was a little easier said then done. Kurt took a deep breathe and exhaled. Kurt walked down the hall and then approached the door with the words "principle office" on it. Kurt put his hand on the door knob and just stood there. He couldn't open the door. Opening the door would legitimize his transfer and future at Dalton . It meant that he was leaving is old life. Kurt wasn't sure he was ready for that. Nevertheless this was a good time to find out.
"Courage." Kurt whispered to himself.
He turned the knob and saw a middle aged man sitting staring at the wall in deep thought. The man turned and smiled at Kurt.
"Hi Kurt. Welcome to Dalton . Take a seat! I am Principle Hawthorne. You may call me Mr. H, Lord, Duke… whatever pleases you." The bald man said.
Kurt timidly walked over to the big desk and took a seat in front of him. Kurt looked at the man feeling as if he were on display in a museum.
"I just wanted to talk about some of the rules and then you can go... You know cavort and frolic. Whatever you boys call it these days." Principle Hawthorne attempted once again to lighten up the conversation
" Ok" Kurt said. His lips barely moved. This humor was something he'd have to get used too.
" Dalton is a very professional place. You are expected to wear uniforms everyday. You are expected to be at breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time. We have a zero bullying tolerance. You are also expected to perform well academically in school. If you fail to meet our standards. You will be put on academic probation. That will prevent you from doing any extra curricular activities. Including choir. No matter how good you are." He said these things as if he were reciting a grocery list. An everyday thing.
"Yes sir," Kurt tapped his fingers on the chair. He wanted to leave already.
"Everything is in order. Here is the map of the school. And this is your class schedule. Oh and this is the room where you are going to stay for the year. "
"Where's W.E.365?"
"That's the West side Ellis room 365"
Kurt smile. He knew that was where Blaine stayed. All juniors were on that side of the campus in different dorms. Blaine would talk about the things that happened there and it sounded pretty fun.
"Thank you sir" Kurt attempted to get his things and leave quickly.
Principle Hawthorne stopped him before he could make a move for the door. 'Hummel"
Kurt froze. "Yes sir?"
Hawthorne looked at him sternly and smiled before he said "Try and behave yourself."
Kurt nodded and bolted for the door.
Something about the principle's smile just freaked him out.
Kurt walked out of the building and stepped out to the courtyard. It was all grass. Some students were lying trying to soak up the last bit of the summer sun before winter could take away all their sunshine. There was a magnificent fountain in the middle of the court yard. Sitting on one of the many benches was Blaine and another boy.
The boy was talking animatedly and he had his hand on Blaine 's arm. Kurt was taken over by anger when he saw the boys hand on Blaine . Blaine looked annoyed. Blaine was waiting for a call or text from Kurt to know if he had arrived at Dalton yet. Kurt walked up to them and when Blaine saw that Kurt was there he smiled so bright that it made the sun look like a small insignificant light. The boy saw this and glared at Kurt but he didn't notice. The boy who took Kurt's breath away looked excited to see him. Absolutely nothing else mattered.
"Hey! You're here! How you holding up?" Blaine asked enthusiastically pulling Kurt in for a hug.
"Yeah, I know! Its a little bi-" Kurt was cut off by a cough from the boy. Blaine frowned and turned around to look at the other boy.
"What?" Blaine turned his attention away from Kurt for less then a split second.
"Aren't you going to introduce us?" The boy asked trying to sound sweet and not bitter.
Blaine sighed. If the boy kept pushing him, he wouldn't know what he would do to him if Kurt wasn't there.
"Kurt, Demitri. Demitri, Kurt". Blaine said trying to give Kurt the signal it was time to go.
Demitri held out his hand waiting for Kurt to shake it. Kurt didn't want to but he didn't want to be rude either. He slowly took his hand out and grabbed Demitri's hand. Demitri squeezed Kurt hands and smiled menacingly. Kurt almost yelped but he knew he would feel embarrassed if Blaine heard. Kurt squeezed back. Blaine started to feel uncomfortable because they had been shaking hands for too long.
"It was nice to meet you Kurt. I'm going to start heading back to my dorm." Demitri started to walk away.
"Bye Blaine " Demitri yelled out as he was already half way across the courtyard.
Blaine just nodded and looked back at Kurt. Kurt was flexing his hand, cradling it with the other.
"Is your hand okay?" Blaine asked grabbing it and holding it tenderly.
"It's fine." Kurt smiled so he wouldn't worry.
"What classes did you get?" Blaine was trying his best not to have Kurt wonder about Demitri.
"Umm" Kurt fumbled with all his papers and found his class schedule and handed it to Blaine .
"Nice... Nice... OH WE HAVE ECONOMICS AND ITALIAN TOGETHER! Oh dang... You have trig..." Blaine said his voice getting smaller at the end.
" What is that suppose to mean" Kurt was massaging his wrist. That kid has a grip Kurt thought to himself.
"Trig is the hardest class in this school. The teacher is a heartless bi—"He stopped himself and shrugged "You know what I mean".
"Ugh. Great." Kurt sat at the fountain and leaned back.
"Where are you staying ?" Blaine sat next to him and ran his fingers through his own hair.
"Umm. West Side... " Kurt said trying not to sound happy. "And, Ellis"
Blaine jumped up and high fived him when he heard Ellis come out of Kurt's mouth. Blaine was bursting with excitement. Kurt's eyes opened widely, pretending he was confused about why Blaine was excited. Blaine looked distracted and handed Kurt back his paper.
" Hey, I'll meet you at Ellis. Don't go anywhere but there" He stood scratching his head. He didn't want to leave but there was a Warbler meeting he was late for. He searched for confirmation in Kurt's eyes. Was this okay?
Kurt smiled and fixed his bag. "No problem. I'll have to my find my own way sooner or later".
Kurt sat down on the bench against the wall of his new home. Blaine had said they were going to meet up there. He looked around and took a deep breath in. He whispered softly to reassure himself:
"No one is going to hurt you here."
As if on cue, Blaine Anderson came walking down the hall. He smiled brightly, every step was deliberate, and his tie was in place. He sat next to Kurt, eyeing him in the Dalton blazer. Candy Apple Red never looked so good… He stopped himself. If he really wanted to be with Kurt he would have to let him adjust. Kurt looked up and let out another deep breath "Hey". Blaine had the ability to stop Kurt from remembering the date, time, and place with just a smile. Blaine put his arm around Kurt "Everything will be alright. I promise. Wes and David are just down the hall from you. They'll be there whenever you need them. Henry and James are next door. You'll meet them at practice. Be aware they have...very special taste in music. And I-". Kurt interrupted quickly trying to hide the excitement in his voice "Where are you staying?" Blaine removed his hand from Kurt's shoulder and ran it through his hair. "Well, I'll just be right across the hall." Kurt smiled and Blaine lost his train of thought. He'd have to get used to that. Blaine sat up quickly and held out his arm "Shall I give you the tour?" Kurt stood up slowly and linked his arm with the boy. You're safe here.
Wes and David were walking down the stair case when they saw Blaine
and Kurt arm in arm. They looked at each other and started to
laugh. This boy sure does move fast, Wes thought to himself. David elbowed Wes in his stomach.
"Watch this" He whispered.
"YO Blaine! Kurt! Over here! Over here!" David shouted obnoxiously down the hallway.
Blaine and Kurt looked up and saw Wes and David trying not to laugh.
The two boys quickly let go of each other hands and blushed a deep scarlet.
"Hey" they said in unison still blushing from being caught in the act.
"What do we got here? Ahh! Kurt finally transferred. Thank the
heavens! Blaine hasn' – AH!" Wes was cut of by Blaine kicking him in the
leg.
"You remember Wes and David?" Blaine said coughing rather loudly to hide Wes's whimper.
"Yeah, you were attempting to spy on us but failed…terribly" Wes winked. Kurt then noticed how good looking both boys wore. Wes was tall. He had a nice tan. Probably from vacationing in some tropical beautiful place that summer. His buzz cut suited him perfectly.
As for David, his eyes were gorgeous and his skin was creamy and Kurt wanted to ask him what he did to keep in such beautiful condition but knew that wouldn't have come off right.
Not bad, Dalton . Kurt thought.
"I remember you guys" Kurt said with a sly smile. He was a little embarrassed that he hadn't been paying attention to what they were talking about.
Blaine was beginning to feel uncomfortable and coughed more. He was trying to signal Wes and David. They weren't getting the hint.
"Well... Me and Kurt are going to leave you guys to whatever you were
doing before" said quickly pulling Kurt along with him.
The four boys said their goodbyes and Kurt and Blaine started to walk
up the marble stair case. When Kurt and Blaine were far enough David
did a loud cat call. Wes and some other warblers started cheering and ran as fast as they could. They knew they were going to get it later from the stares Blaine and Kurt gave as they ran off.
"They're like annoying brothers. You get use to them" Blaine said rolling his eyes.
"I'm sure I will... Eventually" Kurt nodded in agreement. He always liked the idea of family.
They walked down the hall. Kurt was trying to remember where everything was but Ellis was so big! Kurt was sure that he was going to get lost often. Blaine stopped in front of a door. Kurt wondered why Blaine had suddenly stopped. He could get used to walking hand in hand with Blaine . Kurt looked at the door and saw the number 365 on it. It was Kurt's room. Blaine smiled and he pushed the door wide open so Kurt could see the inside. Kurt was just amazed at how beautiful the room looked there was a twin size bed with silk covers and pillows. A couch was placed in the middle of the room with a glass coffee table that matched perfectly. In the corner of the room there was a desk made out of maple wood.
"Who does their decorating?" Thought Kurt as he brushed his hand against the couch.
Everything just went so well together like it was meant to be there. Kurt walked inside the bathroom and almost died when he saw the bathtub.
"Like it?" Blaine said laughing. His new "friend" had impeccable taste and knew it when he saw it.
"Like it? LIKE IT? I FREAKING LOVE IT!" Kurt nearly fainted. He couldn't believe they belonged to him
Blaine laughed and checked his watch.
"It's pretty late"
Kurt checked his phone. Where had all the time gone? In less then ten hours he would start his official school day. He looked at Blaine who was standing awkwardly in the middle of Kurt's bathroom. Waiting for a goodbye?
Blaine smiled; this was his cue "Get some rest. I'll see you in the morning" He excused himself and left Kurt standing alone. He walked out into his new bedroom and lied down. He stretched and looked up at the ceiling. Tomorrow was a new day.
Kurt wanted to shoot himself for not understanding anything. He was wondering if
the teacher was even speaking Italian. Or was he just speaking in gibberish as it seemed no one was paying attention. Kurt's phone started to vibrate. Kurt took out his phone and pretended he was looking at the paper on his desk and opened the text.
You look like you're going to horribly disfigure someone. Smile. Please - Blaine
Kurt smiled a big toothy grin and looked up to see Blaine looking at him. Blaine gave him a thumbs up. Kurt looked back down and answered the text.
This class is soo boring. Save me. And, I'll smile all you want (: - Kurt
Kurt was tired from his first day of school. He had been excited to get back to Ellis and try out his new bath. He was drying off his wet hair with a towel. Kurt swore that if he had nothing to do he would stay in that bathtub. Kurt was thinking about his old friends at Lima . He walked to his bedroom and grabbed the scrapbook his old glee club made him before he left. He wished that they were there with him. Kurt sighed and sat on
his bed. He missed his dad and his step mom and step brother. He missed Mercedes talking about how much loved tater tots. He missed Rachel and her bossiness. He missed everyone.
A tear slowly ran down his rosy cheeks. He didn't notice until the tear fell on to his hand. He started to sing gently to himself. Singing usually made Kurt feel better.
I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
Ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam
But these handprints on the front steps are mine
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
I bet you didn't know under that live oak
My favorite dog is buried in the yard.
Kurt started to remember why he left Lima in the first place. His life had been turned upside down. Karofsky. Kurt couldn't live a normal life in Lima knowing Karofsky
was there.
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
This brokenness inside me might start healing
Out here it's like I'm someone else
I thought that maybe I could find myself
If I could just come in I swear I'll leave
Won't take nothing but a memory
From the house that built me.
Kurt stopped singing and he laid there.
Outside Kurt's door was Blaine, Wes, and David were trying
to listening to Kurt singing.
"WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US THAT HE WAS THIS GOOOD?" Wes whisper shouted at Blaine
"YEAH! YOU HOLDING OUT ON US BLAINE ?" David exclaimed as he was pressing his ear closer to the door.
."HE NEEDS TO BE A WARBLER" Wes said to David as he pushed him so he could have more room
Kurt heard some commotion outside his door. He got up of his bed and
wiped his tears away. He opened the door and all the boys looked like
deer caught in headlights and ran away. Blaine couldn't get inside his room fast enough.
"What's going on?" Kurt yelled out into the hallway.
"Uhh... We heard singing and we wanted to check out who it was... You
should audition to be a warbler. You're amazing" Wes said quietly inching out of his bedroom.
Blaine smiled as we walked out to Kurt. That smile made Kurt swoon.
"I'm not that-" Kurt said in protest solely to be modest.
"YES YOU ARE" David said walking around the corner from where he hiding.
"We never heard a voice like that before!" Wes yelled in agreement. It was hard to tell what he said as there was techno music blasting next door to Kurt's room.
Kurt blushed from all the attention.
"We are going to make you try out!" David was envisioning the Warblers winning regional's with Kurt in tow now.
"I guess? Now go away. I'm going to sleep" Kurt laughed. He had already planned to audition.
Wes and David walked away to there rooms. Blaine grabbed Kurt hands before Kurt went back inside to his room. Kurt's hands were really warm from Blaine 's touch.
"You know you don't have to?" Blaine was concerned about all the peer pressure.
"I want to. I love singing anyway." Kurt gave Blaine a smile and both boys walked back to his room. Both boys wondered what the other was thinking when they had moments like this.
Wes, David, and Blaine were trying to stifle their laughs. Kurt was breathing evenly as he slept. Blaine was looking at Kurt thinking he was the most adorable thing in the world. He felt bad for what they were about to do to Kurt. A loud blow horn went off right
next to Kurt ears. Kurt's eyes shot open and he fell of his bed screaming. The other boys
were laughing and Blaine helped Kurt up. Kurt was furious.
"What in god names are you guys doing!" Kurt was scrambling to cover himself up to avoid Blaine seeing his unsightly bed hair.
"Its time for your audition!" Wes yelled and David blew his horn once more.
"Ughhh" Kurt was hiding under his pillow.
"I tried to stop them but they wouldn't listen" Blaine said grabbing David's horn and throwing it in the hallway. David ran after it."
Why does it feel like you're the only sane one here?" Kurt laughed as Wes followed David out
"WHAT! I AM DEEPLY HURT!" David yelled from the hallway.
Wes poked his head in through the door. "WE ARE PERFECTLY SANE"
" Can you guys leave so at the very least I can get changed into uniform?"
"Fine" David and Wes said as they trudged out with Blaine behind them to make sure they left. Kurt sighed and went back to bed again.
"DONT GO BACK TO SLEEP OR BLAINE IS GOING STEAL YOUR INNOCENCE" Wes shouted before slamming his door.
Kurt giggled when he heard the door open again and laughed and after hearing Wes say ouch. He groaned and slowly got out of his bed to go dress. Though he didn't mind the threat of losing his innocence.
Kurt walked outside his room to see the boys waiting impatiently.
"Sorry?' Kurt said in confusion
"Took you long enough" David grumbled. He had been ready for hours. They started walking down the hall. They passed long corridors of students. Kurt hadn't known how many people actually went to Dalton until now. Where had they been hiding?
"What song are you going to sing?" Wes inquired he had a few in mind for Kurt.
"Hmm I had this song on my mind lately." Kurt smiled slyly.
Always keep them guessing Hummel,
"What is it?" Wes was excited for Kurt more then he was.
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" Kurt said quietly
"That's so you" Blaine came up and grabbed his hand assuring him that he was going to be okay.
Kurt blushed and look down while they walked. Wes and David noticed this. They we're seriously annoyed that Blaine make Kurt feel like this. When are they going to figure out they were both in love with each other? They were at the choir room and Kurt was about to step inside but he turned around to face the others. The others looked confused
"Is it ok if I go by myself? I sort of don't want an audience." Kurt bit his lip. He was already super nervous. He didn't need Blaine to see him fail.
All their smiles fell. They understood though. Blaine gave Kurt a big hug
"Good luck" He whispered softly.
Kurt smiled and walked inside the choir room. That was a huge confidence boost.
"Dude! Kurt is not going to be able to concentrate thanks to Blaine " Wes said to David but loud enough for Blaine to hear. Blaine blushed and everyone laughed.
Kurt walked inside. He looked around and saw the choir teacher. Ms. Hanson. She had once been on Broadway. Kurt could tell she held herself with great prestige. She was tall and slender; she looked like she was in her early thirties.
Her eyes were gray and her hair was curly and untamed.
"Hi. May I help you?" She hadn't seen him around.
"Yeah... I want to try out to be a warbler." Kurt was fiddling with his sheet music.
"Oh really now? What song do you plan of singing?" She was trying to contain her laugher. No one had ever just came to her. They were usually scouted. Then again Blaine had said he had a good feeling about him.
"Don't cry for me Argentina " Kurt was trying to keep his voice all in one tone but he was too nervous.
"Ahhh, one of my favorites" She was eager to see what this boy could do.
She walked over to the black grand piano and she sat down. She started
to play the notes exquisitely. There was no need for his sheet music. He placed it by his bag and took a deep breath. She gave Kurt an encouraging smile and he began to sing.
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is the girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun
The teacher was impressed by the soprano. Kurt was really getting into the song.
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
Blaine, and the others heard Kurt singing.
Blaine swore he was hearing an angel.
And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me
Kurt finished the singing and looked at the teacher. She had been misled by Blaine . This boy was incredible.
"Welcome to the warblers." She said standing up from the piano.
"Now go. Get to Class. Practice is every other Wednesday." She walked out of the choir room
"THANK YOU!" Kurt grinned. Things were finally starting to get better.
Kurt ran out of the choir and pretended to look disappointed. Blaine stood straight up when he heard the door to the choir room open. He saw expression and thought he knew what happened. Ms. Hanson could be harsh.
"Not everyone makes it Kurt. Its fine" Blaine said holding his arm.
"What the hell man! You were freaking amazing" Wes shook his head and put his arm on Kurt's shoulder.
Kurt looked down and started to shake. Blaine thought he was starting to cry but then he heard giggling from him...
"I MADE IT" Kurt yelled and high fived David.
"Time to celebrate!" David yelled as they walked down the hallway.
"Ugh, not again" Kurt stared at the big fat zero he got on his history paper. It was his FOURTH day at Dalton . He couldn't believe it. Kurt was storming down the elegant hall . He was giving death glares to everyone in the hall. They knew immediately he was not having a good day. Kurt wanted to scream. He NEVER got a zero on anything. He walked into his dorm and started to throw things around the spotless room. He ripped his paper up into little pieces until it resemble snow in a way. He mumbled endlessly "stupid...stupid...stupid". He sat on his bed and started to break down into tears.
He hated how hard the classes were. He hated how he felt so dumb compared to everyone else who got straight A's. He hated how his dad gave up his honeymoon just to be able to pay for his tuition and now here he was, crying his heart out because he might get dropped out of school. He didn't want to disappoint anyone. He couldn't go back to McKinley knowing that he was in danger because he knew someone's deepest and darkest secret. His head started to hurt from all the crying and thinking. His pillow absorbing most of the salty tears that escaped Kurt eyes. Kurt grabbed the pillow and screamed into it as loud as he could. There was a gentle knock on his door. Kurt glared at the door until there was no more knocking. He crawled up into a ball and hugged himself. He tried to keep himself in one piece but Kurt was finding it hard to keep shattered pieces together. A minute later there was another knock on the door.
"WHO THE HELL IS IT? LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kurt shouted. He gulped knowing that he sounded like a brat but at this point he couldn't stop himself.
"It's me, can I come in?" Blaine heard the stress in Kurt's voice and wanted nothing more than to hold him close. Kurt sat up as fast as he can and tried to wipe away the tears from his face. Be strong, Hummel! He tried his best comb his hair with his fingers quickly
"Yeah. Sure, come in..." Kurt sat cross-legged on his bad assessing the damage. Blaine walked in to the disaster and was speechless. Blaine looked at Kurt; his heart was getting clawed at when he saw the expression on Kurt's face. His eyes were red and puffy; his hair was all over the place similar to a warbler nest. Blaine ran to Kurt's side and held his hand. Kurt smiled. Blaine could make Kurt feel like he was on top of the world with simple gestures like this
"Are you okay? I heard about the grade" Blaine smiled a little he was sure everyone in Ellis heard.
"No... It's just...I'm failing school Blaine." Kurt shifted his eyes he didn't want Blaine to realize how inadequate he was.
"It's just... Everything is so hard... And I'm starting to crack under all this pressure. .." He started to sniffle. He could feel the tears streaming down his face.
"I can't handle this!" Without even thinking Blaine brushed the tears away with his thumb gently, memorized by how soft Kurt's skin was. He left his hand on Kurt's face and looked deeply into his eyes. Those eyes were what made him fall in love with Kurt from the very first day he met him.
"I can't do this Blaine !" I'm failing everything. I miss my friends. I don't want to stay here... " Blaine sighed
"Kurt, please. Just give it a chance". Kurt grabbed his keys and bolted towards the door
"I'm leaving" Blaine grabbed his arm and pulled him into a hug
"Kurt," He pulled away quickly and shook his head
"No, Blaine ... I can't" Kurt left leaving Blaine standing there alone. He knew leaving Dalton would be easier, if the boy he loved could go with him.
Kurt sat in his car staring at his father's manicured lawn. It took him longer than usual to get back to Lima . He had been crying for about two hours now. The sun had gone. The sidewalk was barely visible except for the faint moonlight that was lighting it up. He didn't know that Finn was watching him from the window patiently waiting for his step brother to walk through the door so he could hug him and assure him that everything would be okay. Kurt wiped his eyes and looked at his phone. Blaine called about ten times and left one text.
I'm always here for you. - B
He wiped his face clean and got out of the car. Once he opened the door to his home Finn attacked him with a hug. As soon as Kurt thought he was holding his composure he started crying uncontrollably into his brother's chest. He tried speaking but every time he opened his mouth he was gasping for air. Finn held his brother tight and wasn't sure how to comfort him. He whispered "What do you need me to do?" Kurt shook his head "There's nothing you can do"
As Kurt walked upstairs he found himself missing Blaine . He sighed and turned on his computer. As soon as he logged on, Blaine was there. Of course, Kurt thought
.
B: Hey, get home safely?
K: Yup, all in one piece
B: Good! I'm glad.
Kurt tapped his fingers impatiently trying desperately to think of something he could say that would assure Blaine that he belonged in Lima . But, in all honesty nothing came to mind except the usual friends and family. Yet, even those things Kurt knew would still be there no matter what he decided to do. Before Kurt couldn't even touch the keyboard Blaine sent another message.
B: I miss you.
B: A lot.
Kurt blushed and bit his lip staring at those words. He was trying his best to engrave them in his memory. So, that at times like this he could remember them. Kurt replied back quickly.
K : I miss you too.
K: if not more,
Kurt soon heard footsteps outside his room. They got closer and closer until Blaine finally replied.
B: then come back to me already ):
Right as he was about to reply the door to his room opened and he slammed his laptop shut. Burt walked in to see his sons' eyes puffy and angry. " DAD. Can you please KNOCK?" Burt was shocked
" I'm sorry" he said in a joking tone " since when did I need to knock in my own house?" Kurt rolled his eyes
" Since your gay son moved back in" Burt sat down on Kurt's bed. The perfect white sheets were just the way he had left them. "You're kidding right?" Kurt looked away and said " It's too hard" Burt placed both hands on his knees and got up slowly.
" A Hummel never quits when things get "hard". " He turned and walked out of the room leaving Kurt to think about his actions. Kurt sighed and checked his phone. There was only one thing he wanted to do.
Blaine sat at his computer impatiently waiting for a reply. After about five minutes the dreaded offline message came on. Blaine had lost all hope. He checked his phone repeatedly and then chucked it across the room. After it hit the floor he heard a chuckle. Wes was leaning against the doorway smiling.
"And, tell me exactly what you find amusing?" Blaine asked. Wes heard the irritation in his voice and decided not to push him... this time.
"You're sitting here depressed about Kurt right?" "Yeah bu-" Wes shushed him. " Let me finish. Kurt is in Lima right?" Blaine rolled his eyes and nodded. Wes continued.
" You want him to stay at Dalton right? So you can take his innocence? " Wes ended with raised eyebrows. Blaine tried to interrupt but was shushed
" You love him right?" Blaine laughed and rebutted " Wai-" Wes gave him all too knowing look it said really who are we kidding Anderson ? Blaine looked away trying to hide his embarrassment.
Wes smiled " how far is Lima , again?" Blaine leaned back in his chair and folded his arms. He saw where he was going with this.
" About half an hour. " Wes grinned " then why are we still sitting here talking about this?"
Kurt was being dragged by Mercedes through the mall. She was a madman. She was scouting sales left and right. Kurt couldn't take it anymore. He sat down at the nearest bench. He was hoping that he and Mercedes were going to be able to catch up and talk about Dalton .
" We can't Kurt. We have to make the most of this weekend before you leave for school " Kurt sighed and said softly
" What if I'm not going back " Mercedes tried to hide her smile but then she remembered why Kurt had left in the first place
" What are you talking about?" Kurt's eyes began to water as he explained to her how much he felt like he didn't live up to what was expected of him at Dalton . Mercedes listened and didn't say a word until he was finished
" Kurt, Honey, what about your friends and ... Blaine ?"
Kurt shook his head. " I don't know" Mercedes grabbed his hand and held it close to her heart
" Kurt as much as I want to tell you to come back to Lima and stay with me forever. It's not realistic. You have a bright future ahead of you at Dalton . And, I don't think you'd be able to live with yourself unless you make an attempt at this Blaine guy..."
Kurt smiled "he's great"
Mercedes smirked "we'll see"
"I have to go the little girl's room really fast. Meet you at the car "Kurt nodded and was walking towards the parking lot were and Kurt saw a familiar face that made his stomach churn. It was Karofsky. The boy who threatened Kurt. The boy who had took Kurt first kiss away. The boy who had a secret that Kurt wasn't supposed to know
" Well, Well, Well look who we got here? Lima 's biggest faggot came back for beaten?" Karofsky taunted him. Karofsky started to walk towards Kurt who stood still. He was so horror struck he forgot how to breathe for a couple of seconds.
"Is the little homo scared? Boo hoo." Karofsky clenched his fist. Karofsky pinned Kurt against a car. Kurt wished he walked with Mercedes to the bathroom.
"Too bad you're friend had to leave huh? No one is going to save you now. Not even that faggot boyfriend of yours. Poor little gay boy is going to die" Kurt was crying. He was shaking it felt like his heart stopped. Karofsky lifted up his fist so he can punch Kurt in the face. Kurt flinched and looked away so he wouldn't have to look death in the eye. Suddenly he was dropped. This didn't make sense to Kurt. He looked up and saw Mercedes there and Karofsky on the floor holding his jaw.
"RUN!" Mercedes
Kurt and Mercedes ran to their car as fast as they could. Kurt was trying to find the right key but he was fumbling with them.
"HURRY UP KURT" Mercedes
Kurt yelped and dropped his keys on the cement. Kurt finally found the right key and he opened the car door and unlocked the passenger door. They made it inside the car but Kurt couldn't put the key in the engine. He was shaken. He couldn't hear a thing. Everything stopped.
Blaine knocked on the door and straightened his collar. He had tried to dress casual. He was nervous to meet Kurt's parents. Burt opened the door to find the young man tapping his fingers along his leg looking very much strung out.
" Can I help you?" Blaine straightened up once more and held out his hand
" Hello sir, my name is Blaine I'm a friend of-"
Burt shook his hand " hello Blaine , nice to finally put a face to that name my son Kurt talks about you all the time. " Blaine blushed. Carole came elbowing Burt as she shook Blaine 's hand
" Hello I'm Kurt's step mom" Blaine smiled and waved at Finn who was eyeing him from the couch. Finn suspected that he was the cause of his brothers' actions the day before. Blaine looked away from the intimidation.
" Sir, would you mind telling Kurt that I'd like to talk to him. You see, he's a little homesick and -"
Burt shook his head " he's shopping with Mercedes but you're welcome to wait" Blaine smiled as Burt gestured to the empty seat on the couch next to Finn
" Thank you sir" Blaine say and tried his best to seem interested in what sport Finn was really into on the screen.
" Who's playing?" Finn didn't bat an eye
" Sox and A's" Blaine nodded and tried to ease the awkward tension
" Those A's I hear they are having a good season" Blaine said trying his best to sound like he knew something.
Finn turned and sighed " let's cut the small talk Blaine " Blaine gulped and was pretty sure Finn heard it.
" I'm sorry?" Blaine looked at him puzzled.
" One the A's suck. They are never having a good season. Two I hope you're not the reason why my brother was crying yesterday"
Blaine looked down " I wasn't. He's homesick"
Finn shook his head " That can't be it". Finn knew for a fact that Kurt liked Blaine and as much as he loved his family Kurt would prefer to stay with him. Blaine didn't know what to say but he tried.
" I think he's having a hard time adjusting to the new environment" Finn nodded.
He guessed that explained all the text books and homework Kurt brought home with him. His brother had a fear of failure.
" Nothing to do with you?" He questioned Blaine who shook his head vigorously.
" Well, I assume one day that it will be about you. And, when it does I expect you'll come down here and fix it" Blaine grinned for a jock; Finn sure wasn't dumb.
"I'll be here within thirty minutes"
Mercedes had tried for so long but Kurt still hadn't moved a muscle. She did the last thing she could and dialed.
"Mr. Hummel we have a problem" before she could finish he was on his way. Kurt had just let him win again. He was in shock no matter where he went. He would be there. Lima wasn't safe. He would live in constant fear, isn't that the reason he went to Dalton in the first place? He stared out his window unaware of his best friend sitting next to him. He forgot everything and everyone. He couldn't believe he let him do that to him again. He just let him over power him as if it was nothing. Kurt was tired of not being able to stand up for himself. He was so lost in his own thoughts until he heard the tapping on the glass. The sweet velvet voice saying his name caught his attention
"Kurt. Kurt "He turned and there was Blaine was standing looking into his window and was shocked. He rolled it down
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"Kurt, listen to me. You are not going to back to McKinley. You are not going to drop out of Dalton ." Blaine said with a stern look.
" How do you know?" Kurt questioned him. He sounded so sure. They had just come back from the parking lot at the mall where Kurt had his freak out. It took a lot of convincing from Blaine to Burt to let him stay and help his son. Burt could tell how they both felt about each other and was surprised they hadn't realized it. Blaine was sitting on Kurt's bed trying to reason with him.
"All this school work. It's too hard!" Kurt exclaimed. Not everyone was perfect like Blaine .
"You just need to try harder" The words escaped Blaine 's mouth before he had really thought them out.
" I DO TRY! I REALLY REALLY TRY! BUT I SIMPLY CAN'T! MY GRADE-"Kurt shuffled through his bag.
"Your grades are probably not even bad" Blaine said lying back on Kurt's bed. Even though under the circumstances this wasn't a happy visit, Blaine was trying to do his best to remember everything around him. There were pictures of Kurt and his mother. They made Blaine smile. Kurt found what he was looking for and threw the piece of paper at Blaine . He stared in confusion. Kurt rolled his eyes and sat back down next to Blaine .
" Look at it" Kurt whispered.
Blaine unfolded the wrinkly paper and he saw Kurt's progress report. Blaine eyes widen when he saw the low scores on the paper
Chemistry: D-
Economics: F
Italian: B+
Trigonometry: F
A.P U.S History : F
Psychology : F
Principle Contract Required.
Kurt burst into tears when he saw Blaine expression. He knew he was going to get dropped out of Dalton if his grades continued to plummet down the drain.
"Kurt, do you want me to help? Maybe get a tutor?" The last thing Blaine wanted was for Kurt to leave him.
" NO! I don't need anyone else. I got this under control" Kurt shook his head. He was not a charity case.
" Are you sure? Well, this paper says you don't have this under control" Blaine reminded him that he couldn't run away.
" Blaine , don't worry. I don't need your help or anyone else. It's not like I have a choice. I already signed a contract with the principle. If my grades don't rise I'm being dropped out" Kurt added trying to sound nonchalant. The idea of him leaving and having to stay at Lima now scared him. He felt so stupid for wanting to leave Dalton . He looked down and tears slowly went down his face. Blaine felt so helpless. If only Kurt asked for his help he was pretty sure Kurt wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place. Kurt couldn't. Blaine would be a big distraction, he wouldn't be able to concentrate on his work and that was the last thing he needed . Blaine wasn't going to let him get away with this. Maybe he was being selfish. But, he just didn't want Kurt to come back… he needed him too.
" I, BLAINE LAWRENCE ANDERSON ! I will not give up on you! I will help you with school work and help you study" Blaine shouted and stood up. Kurt started laughing uncontrollably. Tears pouring from his eyes from pure laughter. Blaine looked at Kurt like he was crazy.
"Umm I knew it was funny. But not that funny…?" Blaine was suddenly confused.
"Your middle name is Lawrence ?" Kurt managed to get out in between giggles. Blaine stared at Kurt forgetting that no one knew what his middle name was. Kurt was still giggling clutching his stomach because it started to hurt from all the laughter.
"Don't tell anyone! Especially Wes or David! Oh god, I can hear the jokes now! " Blaine stared at Kurt with remorse.
"I won't tell .. " He giggles once more "a soul! Trust me!" Blaine smiled at Kurt and knew that he wasn't going to tell anyone.
" So... What about the offer?" Blaine sat and stroked Kurt's hair trying his best to make him forget about the name fiasco.
" Oh... Is it ok if Wes and David help with the studying instead?"
Blaine smile fell when he heard this. Maybe Kurt knew Blaine liked him. Kurt probably felt uncomfortable to be alone with him for too long. Kurt saw Blaine frown. Why was Blaine frowning? Did he hurt his feelings? Kurt couldn't understand why. When Blaine noticed that Kurt looked confused and quickly smiled.
" Yeah! Of course! I'll tell them when we get back" Blaine replied casually. Kurt grabbed his hand and squeezed. "Thanks".
Kurt had decided to go back to Dalton under the condition that he would go through tutoring with the Warblers "finest." This really meant Kurt studying while Wes and David goofed off.
"STOP PLAYING THOSE DAMN VIDEO GAMES" Kurt yelled loud enough for only Wes and David to hear. He threw a pillow at Wes's head. The red silk pillow made contact on the back of his head making Wes drop the remote and losing the game. Wes turned slowly and glared at Kurt.
" You. Made. Me. Lose. The. Game. HUMMEL" Wes shouted.
" About time" David said, he had lost multiple games since their study session began.
" You guys are supposed to be helping me with my homework, remember?" Kurt said inching away from Wes.
"Why didn't you ask Blaine for help?" David replied matter-of-factly.
"Yeah! YOUR BOY TOY! YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR! YOUR-" Wes was cut off by Kurt hitting him in the face with another pillow. Wes evilly glared at Kurt and gave David the look. David raised his eyebrow s and understood the looked right away. Kurt still hadn't quite gotten down the Warbler telepathic connection. He knew he had something to fear.
" PILLOW FIGHT!" David and Wes yelled like a couple of school girls at a sleepover.
" EEKKK" Kurt tried running a huge mistake. David and Wes both grabbed the two red silk pillows and started to chase Kurt around the room.
"I'm never going to get my homework done!" Kurt laughed he had plopped down in the middle of the common room and sighed.
" Maybe you should have thought twice about hitting me with that pillow huh?" Wes grinned inching closer while Kurt crawled away. Wes and David cornered Kurt at the door! Just as they were about to attack him. The door opened.
"Is Kurt okay? I heard him screa-" Wes and David ended up hitting Blaine straight on the face. When Wes and David saw what they have done they ducked behind a couch from Blaine wrath. Blaine looked around the room and saw Kurt on the floor, Blaine hurried to his side.
" IM SO SORRY" Blaine looked concerned and made a mental note to kill his friends when they were alone.
"I'm fine" Kurt said giggling pulling out goose feathers from his hair.
"What's going on?" Blaine was puzzled their actions
"We were... Taking a break from studying" Kurt replied trying to save them from any further pain.
"Ohhh... I heard screaming?" Blaine looked at Wes and David who were now pretending to be really engrossed in the math problem they were solving.
"Uhhhh... We were having a really fun break" Kurt smiled and Blaine nodded.
"Ok... I'm going to leave you guys to studying then" Blaine helped Kurt up and left. Kurt looked for the two boys and walked to them and sat on the couch.
"Thanks for the backup guys' .We better start studying now" Kurt began picking up his books
."Ugh" Wes said turning the book he was reading right side up.
"Yeah before he finds out we weren't doing anything the whole time" David laughed now, picking feathers out of his own hair. They all sat at the table and cracked open the books. They were all silent for a while, only asking each other questions when they needed the help. Kurt was happy to get actual work done.
"Do you like Blaine ?" David asked while putting some numbers into his calculator. Kurt started to choke on the air he was breathing. Wes stared wide-eyed at David bluntness. David looked dead serious and waited for Kurt's answer. He began writing the answer he got from the calculator.
"Ummm... No" Kurt blushed and tried hiding behind his book.
"You're lying" Wes laughed and tapped his pencil impatiently on his book.
"Why do you ask?" Kurt said trying to hide the confusion in his voice.
" Just wondering" David said trying not to put too much into it.
"A bit... I mean, what gay man in their right mind wouldn't like Blaine " Kurt admitted and continued writing.
"Ok" David replied. He had a great poker face. Kurt grabbed David wrist and looked at David seriously.
" You can't tell Blaine " Kurt said immediately.
"Why-" David was cut off.
" Promise me" Kurt replied.
" Fine but why not." David asked suspiciously. Kurt looked at both of them. "Look at me, I don't deserve a guy like him" They got back to work and nothing was said after that.
Kurt walked back to his dorm. When he opens the door he was surprise to see his room clean again and Blaine sitting on Kurt's bed. Blaine looks up to him and smiled his perfect smile that Kurt loves.
"Yeah I cleaned your room while you were studying. I wanted to help you by making you less stressed out so I cleaned your room. I didn't have anything else to do." Blaine said.
Kurt smiled. Blaine was such a good friend to him. Friend. Only a friend. Blaine got up and hugged Kurt. He froze.
" Everything is going to be ok Kurt. I will always here for you. Ill protect you"
Blaine let go and smiled once more at Kurt. Kurt was so red, he got redder from embarrassment because Blaine saw. Blaine walked out his room and Kurt was still frozen.
" Thank you!" Kurt yelled when Blaine left his room.
"No problem!" Blaine laughed and yelled back.
Kurt looked at his room remember how it was a complete disaster before. He was going to have to make this up to Blaine , but he didn't want to think about that right now. He lazily walked to his closet to look for his silk pajamas. Kurt walked to his bathroom and started the shower. He waited until it was the right temperature and stripped from his uniform and stepped into the shower. The warm water started to hit his porcelain skin relaxing his tense muscle. Kurt started to scrub his skin with a loofah and pretended it was microphone and started to sing.
I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
All I could think about was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me away much longer
I don't know what I will do
You've got to understand it's a hard life,
that I'm going through
Kurt started to think about all his problems that he pushed away, he started to cry again the salty tears mixing with the fresh water.
And when the night falls in around me
I don't think I'll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
Cause all I think about is you
He thought about Blaine . Kurt was pretty sure he couldn't survive without Blaine now. He depended on him so much it scared Kurt.
And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all too much to bear.
Kurt finished singing and turned off the shower. He stepped out and dried off his hair. He started to get dressed into his pajamas and he walked to his bed. As soon Kurt hit the pillow he was fell asleep, his last thoughts being of Blaine .
Kurt was running late to his very first Warbler practice. If he kept this up he was pretty sure that the Warblers were going to kick him out of the choir. This was not a way to make his very first impression! He was running down and he could hardly breathe. he couldn't remember when was the last time he had to run this fast ever. He finally reached the music hall and he started to walk towards the doors to the choir room. He opens the door to see Blaine and Noah, another warbler yelling at each other. Wes and David were standing behind Blaine yelling at Noah while Luke and Aiden were standing behind Noah yelling at Blaine .
" YOU SING EVERY FUCKING SOLO BLAINE . GIVE SOME ONE ELSE A CHANCE" Aiden yelled
" YOU'RE NOT EVEN THAT GREAT AT SINGING, ALL YOU SING ARE LAME DISNEY COVERS" Luke shouted and high fived Aiden.
" YOU'RE JUST MAD BECAUSE BLAINE GETS THE SPOTLIGHT" Wes mocked him and shook his head.
"YOU CAN NEVER BE AS GOOD AS BLAINE" David agreed with his friend. Blaine and Noah were standing pretty close to each other giving each other death threats. Noah was a sophomore and was yearning to get into the spotlight. He needed to make himself known. Kurt ran into the room, dropped his messenger bag and stood between Blaine and Noah. Kurt puts a hand on both Noah and Blaine 's chest. Kurt was trying to forget that his hand was on Blaine 's chest and how well formed it was. Blaine looked surprise to see Kurt there. Noah just sent glares at Kurt. If Kurt hadn't been so concerned with Blaine he almost would've cared.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Kurt yelled.
"Noah is trying to take my solo for regional's Blaine replied nicely.
" Blaine is trying to HOG ALL OF THE SPOT LIGHT" Noah said angrily.
Everyone looking really uncomfortable from this situation or just plain angry at Noah for trying to mess up their chances at regionals. Kurt looked at them both and gave a big sigh. At this moment the Ms. Hanson walked into the hostile environment looking really confused.
"Umm... What just happened?" she placed her hand on Noah's shoulder
"I think we are going to have a battle for the solo" Henry replied. Kurt turned. This was the first time he had seen Henry. Kurt had spend so much time studying he rarely left his room. He recognized the voice but had never seen the face. So, this was the boy that was always blasting techno music Kurt thought. Henry was a tall boy. His hair was an electric blue. It was too long for Dalton 's usual standard. His tie was loose. His uniform was wrinkled. Kurt wondered why he hadn't gotten expelled just for his shocking attire.
" Interesting" Ms. Hanson replied. "We need a little competition"
"Yup." James laughed eyeing Blaine . Kurt laughed, I really need to start going practice more often He thought James was lanky. He had a beanie on and glasses. He had gauges that he was trying to hide behind medium brown hair. Kurt smiled at him. Hipster.
" What's a battle?" Kurt asked.
" it's when two people want a solo and they both sing a song in front of the warblers and the warblers will vote for who is the best" Blaine replied. Nothing he hadn't done before.
Kurt took his hand off from both boys since they looked more calm then before. Everyone went to their seat and the listened for what was next.
"Fine. Blaine . Noah. You guys have 3 hours to get prepared for a song." She left the room. She had no time for battles of the ego. Blaine and Noah looked at each other surprise. The teacher usually gave a week for the duelers to practice and now he's only giving 3 hours? Blaine sighed and just stood up and walked out of the room. Kurt looked around when Henry and James approached him.
They held out their hands. Kurt smiled and shook their hands politely.
" Well, well, if isn't out neighbor" James elbowed Henry in the gut. " You owe me five bucks man"
Henry frowned and got out his wallet. Kurt laughed but was extremely confused. Henry noticed this and began to explain.
" You see we were under the impression that you didn't exist seeing as how we haven't meant until now"
Kurt laughed and explained to them about his problem with academics at Dalton . James seemed understanding but Henry just laughed.
" If you need any answers sheets or pre written essays just let me know"
James rolled his eyes. And, before Henry could convince Kurt that he had that kind of power at Dalton he added pointing the direction that Blaine went it " You should go after him"
Kurt looked at them and shook his head " Maybe he'll listen to you guys. You know him better then I do"
The two roommates exchanged glances and Henry winked " Trust us, he'd rather you go after him"
Kurt wasn't entire sure what they meant but, he ran out of the room and caught up with Blaine "
"What's the point?" Blaine said more to himself then Kurt.
"What do you mean?" Kurt was confused. This was just like McKinley fighting for solos.
"I should just give the solo to Noah. I don't want to fight. I mean have you ever heard Noah? HE'S AMAZING. I should just give up now; I know I'm not going to win." Blaine was cut off because Kurt put his finger to his lips to tell him to shut up.
" Since when did BLAINE LAWRENCE ANDERSON GIVE UP? What happened to the Blaine who helps me through the dark times? what happened to the Blaine who helped me back together when I was shattered? what happen to the Blaine that I thought that could do anything? Blaine wouldn't give up so easily!" Kurt whisper yelled to avoid people hearing Blaine 's middle name. Blaine looked at Kurt. He was right, why was he going to let a small competition get to him? Blaine smiled at Kurt returned the smile. Blaine gave Kurt a big bear hug and Kurt couldn't breathe.
"CANT...BREATHE" Kurt was beginning to feel light headed.
"oh!"SORRY" Blaine took one last squeeze. Blaine put Kurt down and they just laughed. Blaine started to walk away from Kurt toward his dorm room.
" Where are you going?" Kurt stood in the hallway confused.
"To my room? where else? I need to practice to kick some sophomore ass!" Blaine replied down the hall. Blaine walked away and Kurt just laughed silently to himself. What was he going to do about Blaine ? Each time they spoke one always fell more deeply in love with the other. Everyone from the choir room started to leave and he saw Noah stare at Kurt. Kurt felt a shiver down his spine. He knew that stare. Someone not so long ago use to give those to him. Kurt turned his face around and stared at the floor.
Kurt was studying when Blaine walked into his room with his guitar. Kurt looked up from his notes and smiled like always at Blaine . Blaine went to sit next to Kurt.
"I didn't know you played guitar." Kurt pushed his books aside
"I'm a man of mystery" Blaine smiled and placed the guitar on lap.
"Well - air quotes with fingers- man of mystery, how may I help you today?" Kurt said lying down and stretching. He had been studying for hours.
"I was practicing for the solo and I need someone to listen, and since you're across the hall for me, I sorta, kinda, thought you would listen. I made this song a while back." Blaine was stuttering. Kurt thought he was nervous because of the song but, it was because of Kurt. Kurt put his notes down and faced Blaine giving him a smile of encouragement. Blaine smiled and looked down at his guitar. he played the chords so beautifully; Kurt could hardly believe it was Blaine . Each chord was played perfectly and Kurt was watching Blaine face, his eyes closed. Kurt could feel Blaine passion for his guitar through the playing and then Blaine started to sing:
Say, wasn't that a funny day?
Gee, it had a funny way—a way about you.
A kind of glow of something new.
Sure—I'll admit that I'm the same.
Another sucker for a game kids like to play,
And the rules they like to use.
Blaine looked at Kurt, Kurt was watching Blaine with child like wonder and Blaine thought it was adorable. Kurt still couldn't believe that Blaine was this good. He actually never heard Blaine sing by himself before, and now Kurt was just crazy about him. He loved his voice.
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel for you?
The sun: telling me the night is done.
Well I refuse to let it stop our fun.
Close your eyes—we'll make it dark again
And kiss; there's a thought, so how 'bout this?
Let's pretend that both our lips are made of candy.
After all, we need sweets every now and then
Blaine looked and Kurt's lips when he said those lines. Kurt noticed and blushed.
Here we are: two strangers in a very different place.
Who knows what could happen to us next?
Here we are with nothing but this little spark.
It's too cold outside to lay this fire to rest.
Go? How so very apropos:
A goodbye just as soon as I said 'Hello."
Well alright, I'll see you later.
It's true: it's just a fantasy for two.
But what's the difference if it all could have been true?
I guess this is better.
Blaine played his final noted and stopped and stared at the floor to scare to look Kurt in the face to see what he thinks of his playing. When seconds pass and nothing was said, Blaine sighed and looked at Kurt who was just staring at Blaine .
"Was I that bad?" Blaine looked confused.
" bad? BAD! THAT WAS LIKE! LIKE! GOD LIKE!" Kurt exclaimed and hugged Blaine .
"well that's a relief" Blaine said hugging Kurt back tightly.
" you are an amazing guitar player, how come you never told me?" Kurt touched the string of the guitar as if they held other mysteries.
"I don't know I never really thought about it. So you think I'm ready for the duel?" Blaine was loving the attention.
" of course!" Kurt couldn't think of a better song.
"Thanks for listening!" Blaine ran his fingers through his hair. Blaine hugged Kurt once more and left his room. What's wrong with Blaine ? why does he always do this to me! IT DOESNT HELP ANYTHING! Kurt was irritated but at the same time he was in perfect bliss. He loved his hugs. Yet, they make it harder for him because Blaine and him will always be friends. At least for now, Kurt thought.
Kurt was walking to the halls with Wes, David, , Henry, and James. they were all talking about who they think was going to win the duel.
" BLAINE ALL THE WAY!" David yelled down the hall.
"BLAINE FOR THE WIN" Wes added.
" BLAINE FOR THE EPIC WIN" James laughed. He just wanted to be included.
"BLAINE AND HIS SEXY PINK GLASSES IS GOING TO WIN HANDS DOWN" HENRY yelled louder and they all laughed.
"TEAM BLAINE FOR THE WIN" Kurt yelled trying to be a team player. They all looked at Kurt like he was an alien and started laughing harder.
"What?" Kurt laughed along with them.
" You watch twilight?" James said in between giggles.
"haha. NOOO... that's for losers..." Kurt blushed and walked faster
." Oh my god, you are so LAMMMMEEEEEEE" Wes high fived Henry and laughed all over again.
" Leave me alone, it isn't THAT BAD" Kurt yelled picking up his pace.
"BLAINE IS GOING TO HATE YOU FOREVER" Henry shouted.
" Nu uh! BECAUSE HE ISNT GOING TO FIND OUT!" Kurt giving them both a menacing stares.
"Sure" Wes smiled. Kurt glared at Wes. Wes looked away from the glare. Then Kurt had an idea.
" Dudeeee! What if he get Team Blaine shirts?" Kurt laughed and looked down after he realized what he said. Everyone stared at Kurt other then Henry. He got distracted by a shiny thing on the floor
. "That's actually not a bad idea..." David said after the silence had gotten extremely awkward.
"Yeah, we can put a picture of Blaine 's big head on the shirt!" Wes trying to save the conversation.
"It can be the picture of him wearing the pink shades!" James laughed and got jittery. Kurt was surprised how they all agreed so easily. Everyone smiled each other, and they stared at Henry playing with the shining thing . Everybody just laughed.
"What's going on?" Henry said holding the object in his hand. Everyone laughed harder.
Blaine was in the choir room with Noah and everybody else. He was looking around the room but he couldn't see where Kurt or the rest of the guys was. He wanted to say thanks to Kurt again before he started to sing for his duel.
" Everyone sit. Sit." Ms. Hanson was impatient. She had places to go and people to see. Blaine took a seat and felt lonely with none of his friends not there.
" It time for the duel" She had zero patience.
Kurt and everyone else and looked at the teacher who was talking. The teacher looked at them and Kurt mouth sorry to her. She could care less. He sat down next to Blaine and everyone else followed along. Blaine raised his eyebrow at Kurt and Kurt just shook his head. Blaine could tell that Kurt was hiding something from him but he couldn't think of what. Noah went first in the duel he sat at the piano and started to play. Kurt thought it wasn't as good as Blaine guitar playing but it was still pretty good. Blaine was staring hard at Noah thinking he was going to lose. Noah started to sing :
I don't know where I crossed the line
Was it something that I said or didn't say this time?
And I don't know if it's me or you
But I can see the skies are changing
No longer shades of blue
I don't know which way it's gonna go
Everyone in the room didn't know that Noah was even had that potential. Some people started to talk about how they were going to vote for him.
If it's going to be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain
You're feeling like you've got no place to run
I can be your shelter 'til it's done
We can make this last forever
So please don't stop the rain
Blaine was starting to really worry. Noah looked at Blaine and saw the fear in Blaine 's brown eyes. Noah just smirked.
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall
Please don't stop the rain
I thought that time was on our side
I've put in far too many years to let this pass us by
You see life is a crazy thing
There'll be good times and there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which ways it's gonna go
Noah finished his song everyone started to clap. Ms. Hanson looked at Noah impressed and it was Blaine 's turn to go up. When Blaine got in front of everyone Kurt looked at the other boys and they all smiled.
Blaine finished his song and everyone started to clap He had sand more beautifully then the last time. Kurt, Wes, David, James, and Henry ripped their dress shirts and it revealed Team Blaine Shirts and they were all screaming.
"TEAM BLAINE" The boys chanted.
Blaine started to laugh hysterically. The teacher glared at Kurt and the others and they sat back down embarrassed. Everyone else was just staring at him. Blaine sang the song just like he had in Kurt's bedroom. Every line was perfect and sang as if it was only directed to one person. Everyone voted for who they wanted and they waited in the choir room.
"Did I do okay?" Blaine whispered holding Kurt's hand
"You did amazing!" Kurt whispered back
"Don't worry! I bet you got the solo! Chill dude" James replied eagerly. A couple minutes later Ms. Hanson was done counting the ballets and she printed out on a sheet of paper.
She walked out of the room and all the warblers followed her frantically. The teacher went to the cork board and tacked it to the board and she left. All the warblers ran to it. Blaine had his eyes close. He couldn't open them for he was afraid he wouldn't see his name. Kurt started to scream when he saw Blaine's name. Blaine opened his eye and saw the paper.
Sectional Soloist:
Blaine Anderson
" CONGRATS!" Kurt said pulling him closer. Blaine lifted him in a hug and twirled him around. Kurt smiled. Blaine put him down and Wes, David, Henry and James gave him a big group hug showing Blaine their team Blaine shirts. Noah walks up to him and sighed.
"You won fair and square. No hard feelings?"
"No hard feelings. You'll get your turn kid" Blaine smiled and Noah gave him a quick hug. Noah walked away with his friends. Blaine looked at the shirts and laugh.
"God, that's an embarrassing picture of me! Where can I get one?" Blaine asked. They all just laughed and walked back to Ellis with their new sectional soloist. As they were walking out Blaine held Kurt's hand. Their fingers were intertwined and Kurt couldn't help but think that he was meant to be there.
