Hey guys this is my second glee fanfic, the other didn't really work out but I'm really confident with this one! I have to give some credit to my friend Kira for helping me think of the idea for this as I need ideas and motivation to write a fanfiction AND continue it and I need a base idea to build it up. Kira's fanfic name is CaramelTheJellyFish so go read her fanfictions! If you want to read her more recent ones, follow her on tumblr she's TechieTheJellyFish, and please follow her and message her everything honestly, she is a truly awesome and nice person! Just to let you know...this is an AU fanfic where Kurt and Blaine are teachers at a school (thought I should mention that) so I hope you find interesting!:-)
Kurt was pulled from his dreaming as his alarm clock blared noisily from its place on his bedside table. He looked at the clock reading 7:30am and was half tempted to plant his face back into his pillow, but he had work and, of course, he'd feel better after coffee. He sat down on the small red sofa opposite the TV and turned the TV on.
He turned on the morning news, the first thing he noticed. The clock in the bottom left of the TV said 8:35.
"Crap the clocks went forward," he muttered, swearing slightly under his breath, shooting up of the sofa and hurrying to the kitchen.
He picked up one of the muffins he'd made last night; not caring that it may be slightly fattening, or that it wasn't a sufficient breakfast. All he cared about was that fact that he was late. He dashed to his room to get dressed as fast as humanly possible. He put on some smart-ish black jeans and a white shirt, it looked formal in some respects, but casual-teacher like at the same time.
He ran to the kitchen and grabbed some money and his keys and making his way down the stairs after grabbing his bags.
"Why was I blessed with the top floor apartment?" he complained as he hurried down the many flights of stairs.
He got into his car to drive to his new job. He tensed when the clock read 8:50, he was supposed to arrive at 8:40. Maybe they'll let him off as it's his first day. He had a new job as a dance teacher at a high school, he was nervous about what people would think of a male dance teacher but excited to be able to teach people, it was previously a job he wouldn't have pictured himself doing, but now he wasn't so sure. Maybe being a teacher would have its benefits.
He pulled up in one of the teachers parking spots before getting out of the car and hurrying to the head teachers office. He knocked on the door and then entered, looking at the head teacher apologetically.
"Ah, Mr Hummel. Welcome. The teachers were talking about first impressions a few minutes ago. Talking about which, turning up for work 20 minutes late on your first day," the head commented.
"I know, I'm so sorry Mr Smith, I forgot the clocks went forward and accidently woke up and hour late, I thought it was 7:30 but it was 8:30 and-" he babbled.
"Mr Hummel," Mr Smith interrupted. "It's ok, I'll let you off," he smiled. Kurt nodded and turned around to go to the dance department.
Kurt stepped in to a room with a shiny golden brown wooden floor and a massive wall mirror covering one of the walls and a ballet bar going right across it. He looked around at the place, impressed at his new classroom.
"Brand new," another teacher walked in. "we just had it built recently, no one else has used it, me and the other dance teacher use the other classrooms but when we put out the job for another dance teacher because we needed more than two, we built this." Kurt smiled at her.
"So I presume you're either Mrs Bailey or Miss Jones?" Kurt asked. The female teacher chuckled slightly.
"I'm Miss Jones," she smiled back to Kurt. "we were surprised when we heard we were getting a male dance teacher," she commented. "It's not a bad thing!" she added quickly.
"Oh, yeah I know it's fine. My friends reacted strangely when I told them don't worry you're not the only one, Miss Jones," Kurt assured.
"Please, call me Karen," she smiled softly at Kurt's politeness. Kurt nodded.
"And, I'm Kurt by the way," he pointed out. Karen looked at him flirtingly before waving goodbye and leaving the room. Kurt just smiled weakly, she'll find out he's gay sooner or later.
Luckily for Kurt, he didn't have to teach until next lesson and there was still about half an hour left of first lesson, so he decided to look around a bit by himself. Walking around the school with the head teacher stopping at every single display of trophies and awards, having a full story about every one of them and how they were won- can be tiring.
He naturally went to the music department first as he loves music. He stopped in his tracks when he got in and looked around at all the instruments and technology. He smiled at his surroundings before looking into one of the classrooms to see a female teacher with long brown hair teaching a class, to the room on his left he saw a really handsome guy sitting at his desk typing slowly on his computer, with his face filled with boredom. Kurt knocked lightly on the door before walking in.
"Uh, hi," he smiled awkwardly. "I'm Kurt, I'm the new dance teacher, I'm just looking around and you looked bored and you were free so I thought I'd start to get to know the other teachers." The teacher at the desk twirled round on his desk chair to face Kurt.
"I'm Blaine," he smiled so warmly that Kurt's heart melted. This boy was gorgeous, but what are the odds that he's gay? Nearly every boy Kurt's ever had his eye on has been straight.
"Do you like music, Kurt?" Blaine asked. Kurt nodded straight away.
"Yes! Of course," he said excitedly. "I sing," he added proudly, but still modestly.
"I sing too," Blaine beamed. Kurt widened his eyes at how perfect this guy already was. "I'd love to hear you sing one day," Blaine looked Kurt in the eye, still smiling. Kurt chuckled nervously.
"Well, yeah maybe. And same to you as well," he played with his hands awkwardly. "I have to go prepare to teach my first lesson," he smiled and turned around.
"Good luck, see you around, Kurt," Blaine said kindly, he twirled around on his chair to face the computer. Kurt stopped and looked round at Blaine one more time before sighing and leaving to go to the dance department.
oO0Oo
"Bye, everyone! Have a nice week," Kurt waved off his first ever class. He sighed heavily, still out a bit out of breath from the dancing. He ran his hand through his hair and smiled at how well his first class went. He saw a student still here in the mirror still trying to tie the shoelaces of her red converse. He spun around to face her.
"Are you ok there, Jenny?" he asked her. She barely noticed he was talking until she suddenly looked up.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine Mr Hummel I'm just slow at doing my shoe laces," she replied with an awkward laugh. Kurt looked at her method of tying her shoe laces, she was about to start tying the next one until Kurt stopped her.
"You tie them the long winded way," he kindly commented. "Here, I'll show you how to tie them real quick." he bent down by her and tied his own but did it slowly step by step. She copied him carefully.
"I did it!" she cheered. Kurt laughed.
"There now you won't have to spend ages on them," he smiled.
"Thank you Mr Hummel, bye!" she waved as she left the dance department. He waved back and got up slowly from his crouched position on the floor.
"Bye see you next week," he chuckled and shook his head and went to the other side of the dance block and went out of the door. He made his way to the staff room to blend in with the other teachers and make friends with them. He was going to need some company in his free time. He saw the door of the staff room from a distance and saw the music teacher he met earlier- Blaine.
He smiled lightly to himself and progressed to the door. He got slower and slower and when he got there he waiting for a few seconds before he knocks. But just before he does he hears a bit of their conversation and was intrigued to carry on listening, he made sure they couldn't see him through the small window in the door. Despite feeling kind of bad for eavesdropping he knew after he heard that sentence he just had to listen. The sentence "what if the students find out?" is what dragged Kurt in.
He leaned in slightly closer to the door but nothing too noticeable. Lucky only a few people were around and they weren't paying attention to Kurt. Blaine was sitting with an I.T teacher called Kira Dodd.
"Why don't you want them to find out? I've come out to them when I told them I had a wife," Kira smiled. Blaine pursed his lips.
"I don't know," he muttered. "I guess all the students have got used to me and they like me as a teacher so if they found out that I was gay that might change their opinions on me," he just looked down at his hands. Kira just looked at him. Kurt widened his eyes and opened his mouth a little with happiness. He decided he would stay just a little longer to hear whether Blaine had a boyfriend or not.
"Haters gonna hate right?" Kira giggled. "And anyway, if they did find out somehow or you tell them, your truly best students aren't going to change their opinion on you for being gay are they?" she said enthusiastically as usual. Blaine nodded in agreement, still looking at his hands.
"So are you looking for a boyfriend at the moment?" Kira asked, making conversation. Blaine shrugged and looked up at her.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just waiting for the right person to come along. I used to try so hard to find someone, but then a friend told me that with patience comes benefits, so here I am. Waiting," he shrugged again. Kira nodded and smiled.
"Good idea!" she happily agreed. "I waited for a girlfriend and look at me now, I'm married!" she beamed. Kurt smiled with his eyes lit up. He decided to come back to the staff room at lunch instead of intruding on their conversation.
"Mm break is about to end anyway," he muttered to himself under his breath, looking at the clock at the end of the hallway. He decided to go up the hallway a bit and walk past the staff room at the same time Blaine comes out, in hope he would notice him and say hi. I mean the best thing they could do right now is become at least friends, right?
