A/N: I wrote this with my shuffle drabbles, but it turned out to be longer. Plus, it's not finished yet and I wanted to post it, so here it is!
Based on Break Your Heart, by Taio Cruz feat. Ludacris.
It's sort of Skank!Kurt AU that started on Tumblr.
Kurt stood outside the steps of McKinley an hour before school started. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he wasn't smoking. He never really did, just because he knew how bad it was. The heart attack his dad had last year had really scared him (though he wouldn't admit it), so he was really watching what he did. He didn't want lung cancer anytime soon.
He had to pretend he did to be in his group, though.
He wasn't really sure why he was here early, but (though he wouldn't admit it), he found early morning peaceful. Serene. Zen, even. He closed his eyes and breathed in the fresh air.
Half an hour later, he woke up. There was a figure, a kid, looked like, across the parking lot. He was coming toward the front door. He glanced back and saw that some of the teachers (and probably administration) were here already. The kid made his way up, and stopped about five feet away.
"Excuse me? Do you know where the office is? I'm supposed to transfer today, so I need my schedule and locker assignment."
Kurt studied the kid for a second before answering. He looked pretty nerdy- he had on a plaid shirt, bow tie, and no socks- sort of like how Kurt used to dress at his old middle school. Now of course, it was all black leather. The kid had curly black hair, which was gelled, and golden-green eyes. His eyebrows were sort of triangular. Kurt actually thought (though he wouldn't admit it) that he was cute. He also looked, maybe, gay. The problem was, the kid didn't look like he would like Kurt, and Kurt's group wouldn't approve. They didn't care that he liked boys, but a nerd? Plus, Kurt had a reputation for breaking hearts, and (though he wouldn't admit it) he didn't want to hurt this kid. He looked too innocent.
"Down the hall to the left," he replied.
"My name's Blaine," the kid said, and stuck his hand out.
Blaine... That's cute, Kurt thought (though he wouldn't admit it). "Kurt," he said, and shook the boy's hand halfheartedly.
Kurt spent the next week thinking about Blaine. He really was adorable. Quinn almost caught him staring a couple times. He had it bad. He knew it was intrinsically wrong in high school, having a crush on a nerd when you were like him, but there was something about him.
Blaine spent his next week trying to figure Kurt out. He had two classes with him- geometry and history, which he spent glancing at him. He seemed to be popular, or at least accepted, but Blaine couldn't tell if he was gay or not. He seemed it, but he was also so... not like Blaine. Blaine had definitely developed a crush, though.
He asked a girl who was in a few of his classes (Mercedes, her name was) about Kurt. She told him that they'd used to be best friends in middle school, that he was gay and out, and that he broke a guy's heart about once a month.
He definitely had that vibe, but he was sort of cute. In a bad boy way. He had a single black streak in his hair, one ear piercing, and he usually wore black leather boots with his skinny jeans. Sometimes he wore eyeliner, but not often.
Blaine knew he was too nerdy, though. He was thinking about all this when he bumped into someone and dropped his books. He looked up. It was him. Kurt.
The taller boy looked down at him, sort of scanning him, it seemed. He hesitated, then looked back up at Blaine.
"Hey, um, Blaine, right?" he asked. Blaine nodded. "Do you think, maybe, we could go out to Breadstix Friday? If you want, I mean."
"Um, sure, I guess. Aren't you worried about your... reputation or something?"
"Uhm..." Kurt glanced down the hallway, noticing Quinn coming. "No, punk!" He and Quinn started leaving, but Kurt looked back and winked at Blaine, who was completely taken by surprise. He took that as a yes- he was meeting Kurt at Breadstix, and he was worried about his reputation.
A/N: So that's that. And that's my contribution to the AU... It's a little weird, and I'm not sure how to continue, but I will...
And the cigarette-not-smoking thing is a nod to The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. I'd like to write fanfic for it, but I don't think I'd do it justice. Maybe after I reread.
