Hold On

Chapter One

The air was thick, full of humidity and fog, as Blaine Anderson walked through the parking lot of Dalton Academy. Something inside of Blaine told him that there was going to be some dark things happening today, but he just couldn't place his finger on it. Nothing like a murder or anything drastic like that, but something more like an emergency transfer. Those kind of days were always the darkest at Dalton. Taking in a deep breath, Blaine made his way into the school and walked into the Commons where Jeff, Nick, Wes and David were all sitting around waiting for him to arrive back from his visit home. Blaine smiled up at his friends as he approached them.

"Hey, Blaine, did you hear?" Jeff asked, being his nosy self. Blaine looked between his friends with a confused look on his face as he shook his head.

"There's a new emergency transfer." David said, sighing. "It's really getting old having these boys being transferred here immediately. It's just so sad.."

Blaine sighed, taking a seat on the empty seat on the couch. As he looked up, he couldn't help his jaw from dropping as he sawthe most beautiful boy that had ever entered Dalton Academy. Jeff, Nick, David and Wes all looked over to where Blaine's gaze had been captured and they couldn't help but have a knowing smile creep on their faces. They all knew what that look on Blaine's face meant. It was so obvious that he had just fallen in love, even at just the sight of that boy. Now, knowing Blaine, he wouldn't ever admit it and just push it to the back of his head to take care of this boy. Blaine felt as if it were his mission to guide this boy to safety and security and that was just what Blaine was going to do.

Kurt woke up as if it were any other day, but it wasn't just any other day. Today, Kurt was going to be moving into the Dalton Academy for Boys. Why? Well, William McKinley High School was just not safe for Kurt any more. He was being harassed and even threatened in that school and there was nothing the school board could do about it. Sighing, Kurt eventually rolled out of bed to hop into the shower. Tears started to stream down his face as the water hit his bruises and cuts. The memories were all flooding back, something Kurt could just not handle. Biting his lip, Kurt slid down the wall of his shower and began to sob. This wasn't fair. Why did he have to be the target out of the entire school?

After a few minutes of sobbing into his hands as the water hit his body, there was a knock at the door. Kurt managed to sob out a 'come in' as his father opened the door to see his son just sitting on the shower floor, crying his eyes out.

"Kurt...come on, Bud, let's get you dry." He said, turning off the water and helping his son get off the ground carefully. Wrapping a towel around Kurt, Burt walked him back into his bedroom and helped him get dressed into his new uniform.

"I-I'm so sorry, Dad." Was all Kurt could get out as soon as he was finished getting dressed. Kurt wiped away his tears and sniffled a bit. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I'm sorry you can't go on your honeymoon, all because of me."
Burt shook his head, drying his sons tears away from his porcelain complexion.
"None of this is your fault, you hear me?" He asked, Kurt nodding his head. "This is all Karofsky's doing. You had nothing to do with it." Kurt breathed in deeply at the name that had been tormenting him for two years, but nodded again as he understood, somewhat.
"Okay...can we just go though?" He asked, walking over to one of his suitcases and picking it up off the ground. Burt nodded, grabbing Kurt's other suitcase and leading him down the stairs and out to the car. Placing the suitcases in the trunk of the car, Burt and Kurt slid into the car and started their journey to Dalton Academy.

About an hour later, Kurt and Burt pulled up to the school. Kurt's jaw still dropped every time he saw the school. It was just too beautiful to even be considered a school. Taking in a deep breath, Kurt stepped out of the car and walked to the back of it, grabbing his satchel and the lightest of the two suitcases, leaving the heavy one for his father to take. Walking into the school, Kurt knew that this was going to be difficult, having everyone staring at them wasn't something Kurt wanted. Kurt swallowed thickly, biting his lip as he did so. He sensed someone staring at him, and then a few more pairs eying him as well. Taking a deep breath, he just continued to walk towards his new dorm.

As he and his dad reached the room, Kurt saw that the door was already ajar. Biting his lip yet again, Kurt opened the door some more to see a short, dark haired boy sitting on one of the two beds that were located in the room. Kurt's breath was instantly taken away. God, is he beautiful. He thought to himself. Burt nudged Kurt to say something.

"H-hello?" He asked out loud. The curly haired boy jumped at the sound of a voice and looked up as he saw that beautiful boy.

"Hi!" He said, more than enthusiastically as he hopped off his bed. "You must be my new roommate. Hi. I'm Blaine Anderson." Blaine said, holding his hand out for the boy to shake. Kurt took his hand cautiously into his own and shook it carefully. Blaine smiled brightly.
"I'm Kurt Hummel." He said, smiling back at the boy shyly. Blaine turned to Burt and shook the mans hand firmly.

"Burt, Kurt's dad." Burt said sternly as if he were warning Blaine to not hurt his boy. He saw the way Blaine and Kurt were looking at each other. No one could have missed it. They were giving each other love sick puppy eyes. It was way too cute, and Burt never thought anything was cute. Burt knew in his heart that this was just the beginning of something...beautiful.
