"Dude wake up!" Finn said as he jumped on Kurt's bed. "It's Christmas!"
"M up," Kurt said sleepily as he crawled out from under his blanket. Finn rushed down the stairs, Kurt in no hurry. He knew money was tight so he didn't expect to get the one thing he'd always wanted: a guitar. Of course, he really had no idea how to play, but that's what lessons were for right? He settled into an armchair to watch as his step-brother happily sorted through all the presents like a ten year old. Carole's face lit up with obvious delight as Burt gave her the small box containing diamond earrings (hand-picked by Kurt, of course). Everyone looked so happy, Kurt couldn't imagine how their first Christmas as a family could get any better. That was until someone had placed a large present into his lap. Kurt knew what it was before he even opened it, because the shape kind of gave it away. Still, he couldn't stop a squeal from escaping as he carefully placed the un-ripped wrapping paper aside (this was Kurt after all). "Oh my god thank you so much Dad!" Kurt said giving his father the biggest hug ever. Burt chuckled, "thank Carole, she remembered". Kurt laughed as he pulled Carole in for a hug as well. "I got you something too!" Finn said when Kurt was back in his chair. "Ooh, where is it?" Kurt replied excitedly. Before Finn could respond, there was a knock at the door. Strange, thought Kurt as he went to answer it, who could that be? His question wasn't really answered at the door, because there stood a boy about his age (at little bit shorter though) with the cheesiest grin he'd ever seen. "Who are you," Kurt asked. "Um, I'm Blaine Anderson," replied the shorter boy, obviously a little nervous about something. "May I come in?"
"Sure," Kurt said as he moved aside to let Blaine pass. Finn showed up at that moment, looking at Blaine in a way that Kurt knew he knew this boy. "How do you two know each other?" Kurt had directed the question at Finn, but it was Blaine who spoke up. "Well, Finn here is one of my Xbox buddies, and he told me you were interested in learning to play guitar."
"Yeah, Blaine's the lead singer for that a cappella group, the Hummingbirds?" Said Finn.
"The Warblers," Blaine corrected with a light chuckle. "New Directions tied with us at Regionals."
"Oh yes, I think I remember seeing you," replied Kurt, "Do you think you could teach me?"
"Of course, I could give you a quick lesson now if you wanted."
Instead of answering, Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him upstairs to his bedroom, where he had already placed his new guitar. Neither of them said anything, but they both felt that spark of electricity when their hands connected.
