Chapter One
David, Blaine, and Wes are all hanging out in Blaine and David's Windsor House dorm room at Dalton Academy. While Blaine's side of the room looks immaculate, David's looks terrible and unclean. There are boxers and dirty sweatshirts thrown all over his bed. There are enormous, dirty socks hanging on his lamp as though he had thrown them across the room. He has a bunch of CD's laying out of their cases on the floor next to his bed and there are Red Vines laying on the nightstand. The box of opened Swedish fish lay on his unmade bed.
Blaine is sitting on the bed talking vigorously to Wes, and his roommate, David. He is sitting at his desk as they continuously harass him about his love life with Kurt. Suddenly, the pencil he was playing with went flying. It flew across the room and nearly missed hitting the lamp by David's bed. He turns to his computer, which is playing his favorite song, "Teenage Dream." The other boys look at each other and smile to themselves. After a few more minutes of David and Wes teasing him about Kurt, the song on the computer stopped and restarted the same song.
"Really? Teenage Dream again? You have been playing that on your guitar too much and now this?" asks David with a smug look.
"Yeah, I like the song, so what?" Blaine replied with a hint of irritation. David and Wes turn back to their intense game of Halo.
"You guys have been hanging out for the past two and a half weeks. Why don't you guys just make it official?" says David without bothering to turn away from the game.
"We are not 'making it official' because we are not dating," Blaine replies calmly.
"Yes you are! Blaine, so innocent and naive," says Wes as he smiles, "He is in love with you! It is obvious! Everyone knows it! And you, Blainers, love him back," he states as Blaine blushes furiously. Then, Blaine's phone beeps and he receives a text from Kurt.
"By the way, I can't do Friday Movie Night tomorrow..." says Blaine.
"WHAT?!" yell the other two.
"You can't just skip out! We are gonna be watching all of the Harry Potters, remember? Well, unless the Avengers doesn't come in by then. You can't miss that!" continues David, "Are you holding out on us, boy?" he adds after giving Blaine a suspicious look.
"Yeah, cause if you are skipping out because of Kurt... You guys are going out again, aren't you?" Wes smiles as he starts poking Blaine's shoulder. Blaine immediately blushes.
"Yes...Okay? We are going out to dinner as 'just friends!'" Blaine emphasizes the 'just friends' part, "I am driving down to Lima and we are going to Breadstix."
"Yeah, 'just friends' who go on dinner dates, go on study dates, go on coffee dates, and text all the time. You guys have been doing that stuff for, like, over two weeks!" states Wes.
"Kurt is just going through a really tough time with his school and that Karofsky guy!" replies Blaine.
"Maybe, if you stopped listening to Teenage Dream on repeat and started talking about anything other than Kurt all the time, people wouldn't think you two were together! Literally, everyone thinks you two are boyfriends!" laughs Wes.
Blaine responds, "One, I don't talk about him unless someone else brings him up in the first place. And two, we don't even text each other that much..." as he says this his phone beeps again. Another text from Kurt.
Are we still on for tonight? -K
Yeah! Of course! Can't wait! :) -Bx
As Blaine replies to the text, Wes comes up behind him and reads the messages.
"A little eager for Kurtie to come over are we?" Wes smirks. As he says this, Blaine pushes him away, "What? I care about Kurt, too! And what is that little x next to the B? Is that..." started Wes.
"Blaine, is it representing a bow tie?" David finishes. The "twins" laugh hysterically and Blaine starts to walk away, but they stop him and go back to their previous argument about Kurt.
"Yeah, me too! I care about Kurt!" adds David, "Kurt is like a little brother to me, or something. Other than the fact... the fact that you're like a brother to me and with the two of you being in love and all. Never mind, I am a single child!" Wes and David go into hysterics about this. They are laughing so hard and rolling on the floor and falling. During this, Blaine is turning scarlet. Then, they hear a knock on the door and they all yell, "I got it!" but Wes gets to the door first and as he opens the door, David pushes Blaine onto the bed. Behind the door is Kurt, who is standing there with his black book bag. He sees the boys and smiles at them. All of the boys greet Kurt and he returns the gesture. They invite him in and once he is in he looks around, obviously thinking about how messy the room was.
"Hey, Blainers, might wanna tone down the happy-in-love look you got going on," David says as he says this he smiles and Blaine blushes for the fourth time in the past two hours. Blaine tries to get rid of the other two, but they seem persistent at staying and embarrassing him.
"Yeah, we were, but it is just so much more fun watching you two blush repeatedly over your undying love for each other that burns like an ever-burning forest fire." David states as he and Wes go into hysterics again.
Once they stop laughing, Wes and David keep cracking lame jokes and succeeding at making Blaine blush. Wes come up with another joke and they start laughing again and Blaine looks at Kurt who is blushing again. Kurt doesn't seem like he was all there, he looks as though he has just gotten away from a terrible time at school. He looks unnoticed, slightly off his game. Blaine gives the "twins" his best get-out-of-here-before-I-kill-you look.
"Fine," they say while leaving.
Blaine and Kurt talk about studying and what classes to study. They come up with a plan of attack for two different classes that they needed to study for. Kurt knows that Blaine had multiple troubles with Latin. He also knows that he has never spoken Latin in his life, he takes Spanish. He knows French, but he will help Blaine anyway. While they were starting the study plan, Blaine asked Kurt about his day. He had a feeling that Kurt had a bad day and maybe wanted to talk about it. Blaine looks at Kurt and Kurt stares back at him for a minute. Out of nowhere, Kurt is in his arms sobbing. He dissolves to tears and Blaine is embracing him trying to calm him down enough to get any kind of coherent response.
After 15 minutes of Kurt mumbling incoherently through tears about Karofsky, Blaine is finally able to calm him down. Kurt stops crying, wipes his eyes with his hands, and takes a couple of deep breaths before saying, "Blaine, honest to God, I don't know what I would do without you." Kurt gives him a little smile and Blaine hugs him.
"Kurt?" he asked giving him a careful look.
"I'm sorry, Blaine! I h-have something...to tell you..."
"What's wrong, Kurt? What happened?" looking worriedly at Kurt.
"Blaine... Karofsky, he told me that he was going to kill me,"
"He what?" Blaine practically yells as his face gets red and angry, "When did he say that?"
"Last week. I didn't tell you because I thought maybe he would stop bullying me. I guess I thought you might freak out and go kill him or something. My parents offered for me to transfer."
"Wait," says Blaine, "You're moving?"
"No. I am transferring to Dalton," says Kurt. As he says this, he gives Blaine a sorrowful look. Blaine is trying to comprehend this. Blaine knows this is not fair. He understands that the bullying must have got worse in order for Kurt to transfer. Why should one bully be able to keep Kurt from being himself. That's the reason he likes Kurt. That is the reason Blaine and him were friends in the first place. Now one bully was going to ruin Kurt's life if he stayed at McKinley. But Kurt looks like the decision has already been made, so Blaine leaves it, for now.
"Oh," Blaine replies after being in thought for a minute. He squeezes Kurt's shoulder and Kurt hugs him in return.
"I am sorry about not telling you when it happened. I guess I just thought that maybe, somehow it would just disappear and the issue would go away." says Kurt, who looks like he might start crying again.
"No, Kurt. I am sorry. I am so sorry that all of this happened to you. You don't deserve any of this and I just really hate people sometimes," Blaine says, starting to loose his cool. Then, after a few seconds of regaining it back, he adds, "So, when are you transferring?"
"Monday," replies Kurt.
"Are you boarding?" asks Blaine, looking semi-hopeful at the idea.
"I don't know yet."
"Oh, well. If you do want to, I think the room across the hall from mine is open. 16B," he smiles.
"Maybe living here wouldn't be such a terrible thing," Kurt smiles back.
After they talk a little bit more about all the stuff that had happened since Blaine saw him last, the "twins" came back and Kurt fills David and Wes in on the news. Wes and David are running around and jumping on Blaine singing Teenage Dream. They grab the others into a big group hug and they calm down a little. Then, the "twins" started to interrogate Kurt about when and where he was moving in. Once they discovered he was going to join Windsor House, they warned him about how insane they were. After they determine that Kurt was transferring on Monday, they are excited. The Warblers forced Kurt into letting them help him move in and realized that Kurt was coming back tomorrow to move in. The "twins" look at each other and smile. They walk away and Blaine watches them leave. Then, he turns to Kurt.
"I am really sorry that this had to happen how it is. I am so sorry I couldn't have been there to stop this from happening, Kurt," he looks at the other boy sorrowfully.
Kurt looks as though someone had just slapped him and broke his nose. "Blaine, in no way is this your fault! You couldn't have helped because I didn't let you. I told myself that it would go away, and somehow Karofsky would just disappear or stop bullying me out of nowhere. And it didn't. So what? I have to transfer schools? I have to leave my glee club? I have to leave my friends to make new friends and be with you and David and Wes? I like you guys a lot here and if the school can protect me from that crap, then of course I will come here! I know that is is hard transferring schools, but this is not your fault at all. Karofsky wouldn't have listened to you any more than he listened to me or the other New Directions. Blaine, don't be stupid!" He says as he smiles. Then, as he completes his speech, Blaine looks at him lovingly and laughs.
"Kurt, you are... something special," he says as his eyes glitter, "Can we just forget about all of this for a while and go get coffee?"
"Yeah, as long as it's not at the Lima Bean," he says as they both laugh.
