So you should definitely go check out our stories if you like this collab!
The idea of the story that we have here is pretty interesting. The story will start at obviously chapter 1 and then the other author will be taking over for the next chapter. This pattern will go back and forth! We have NO IDEA where this story is going; we just continue it on from where the last chapter left off. It's like at a camp fire, telling camp fire stories! Someone starts the tale and it goes around through all of the people as they add on to the story.
This chapter was written by Hummel-Anderson!
Chapter 1; Somewhere Only We Know
Kurt had been at Dalton and so obliviously in love with Blaine for three months when Wes and David decided it was time to talk to him. Blaine was a great guy and all but he came with some baggage, and he had been hurt too many times for his best friends to let it happen again. They needed to make sure Kurt knew what he was getting into before Blaine realized he was in love with Kurt too. So they made a list;
The Official List for Kurt Hummel reciting the flaws and imperfections of Blaine Anderson;
In their minds it was brilliant, fool proof and a sure fire way of making sure Blaine didn't get hurt. They of course never planned on Blaine finding said list.
It was one warm Saturday afternoon in Westerville Ohio and Kurt was sitting outside reading a book when Wes and David approached him. Over his time at Dalton, Kurt had grown to love and accept Wes and David for who they were. In meetings they were always formal and prestigious, but when they weren't in meetings or in a formal setting…. well in short they rivalled the New Directions for craziness. In a weird way, it gave him a sense of home; he was used to the crazy all the time, so it was a familiarity he liked.
He was sitting under an old oak tree in the back corner of the courtyard. Blaine once called it 'somewhere only we know,' so Kurt went back there when he needed time to be alone. He had his own private dorm, so it wasn't as if he was deprived of personal space or alone time, but he liked being outside. It was something he had gotten from his mother, that and his eyes.
So needless to say he was surprised to the two boys had found him, but nonetheless he was glad to see them. He liked hanging out with them; he never really had straight-guy friends so it was a pleasant and welcome change.
"Hey Kurtie!" they greeted him in their cheerful manner that was often contagious.
"When are you guys going to stop calling me that?" he asked feigning annoyance; he thought it was a cute nickname and he especially loved that it caught on and everyone- including Blaine- had started calling him it.
"Never?" they both questioned each other before turning back to Kurt, they had a mission and they were easily distracted so they needed to get out what they needed to say before they made small talk.
"Didn't think so!" Kurt joked amusedly, which lead him to wonder why the two boys sought him out in the first place. "Did you guys need anything?" he asked curiously.
"Actually yes!" said Wes, he wasn't one to bear around the bush and was always blunt about what he wanted. Kurt stared at them waiting for an elaboration, and not having to wait long for one;
"We know you like Blaine" they said in unison. Kurt felt all the blood rush through his body up into his heated cheeks, causing them to turn a bright shade of red.
"N-no I don't" Kurt squeaked, he didn't think he made it blatantly obvious and he sure hoped that they hadn't told Blaine, if they had he might have possibly died from embarrassment.
"Yes you do" David stated matter-of-factly, if it wasn't obvious before the blush on his cheeks, about it would have given him away.
Kurt thought about denying the accusation again, and then he could go back to his book and pretend like nothing had happened, like two of his friends hadn't just accused him of something that had been going on for so long. Or he could fess up and go along with their scheme; it obviously had something to do with Blaine and himself. He decided to go with the latter; his curiosity having gotten the better of him.
"Is it really that obvious?" he asked literally face palming.
"No"
"Yes" Wes and David said at the same time. Of course, Wes would be blunt about it instead of trying to being a little nicer. Kurt face palmed again; he had thought he was doing good keeping his feelings to himself.
"But that's not why we're here today Kurtie! We know you like Blaine, maybe even love him..." Kurt blushed yet again at the mention of love, because yes; Kurt Hummel was head-over-heals in love with Blaine Anderson. "…but he has a lot of baggage and we want to make sure you know what you're getting into before you two fall completely and irreversibly in love. We know you've both been hurt in the past, and we're trying to avoid that happening again. We love you both and just want what's best for the both of you" David stated. Kurt had tears in his eyes, he had people who cared about him, but they were family and they were technically obligated to love him. But these guys were just his friends and they cared about him; it was touching.
"That's why we made you a list! We put together all of Blaine's imperfections and flaws in a list for you to read, and then if you see something that turns you off, you'll know that before you guys start making gay babies! So you can't say you weren't warned! Therefore it won't be a possible break-up topic!" David said proudly. He handed Kurt a booklet of pages neatly stapled in the corner.
Kurt looked at the front page; it was a title page that read;

For Kurt's eyes only
Kurt chuckled at the last line. It was very like Wes and David to include something like that. He laughed quietly to himself once more before turning back to see and eager looking David and an anxious looking Wes.
"So you want me to read it?" he asked making sure that their instructions were clear.
"Yes!" they both shouted in unison. "Then if you have questions come and see us!" said Wes.
"Okay, are you sure this is a good idea though guys? I mean are there things on this list that Blaine wouldn't want me to know?" he asked warily. He and Blaine were best friends but there was still a line somewhere and he sure as hell didn't want to cross it. Blaine was the one person who really understood him, and he wasn't about to give that up anytime soon.
"You guys are BFF's; everything on that list is perfectly okay for you to know! And besides just don't tell him! We don't really think he would approve anyway, but we have decided that these are things you need to know" said David.
"Okay, I'll get started reading this" Kurt said almost too happily. While he had to admit it was a little strange that Wes and David all of a sudden decided that he needed to know the information that the list contained, and he was a little bit nervous about the things on the list, he was still excited! It was like he was getting to see a whole different side of his best friend.
Wes and David nodded before scurrying off, Kurt presumed that it was to go and find a warbler to annoy the crap out of; it was their favourite afternoon activity after all. He got comfortable underneath the tree he was sitting under before and pulled the list into his lap. He opened the first page and started reading;
The Official List for Kurt Hummel reciting the flaws and imperfections of Blaine Anderson;
Flaw & Imperfection number 1: …
Before he could read the first flaw and imperfection on the list he was interrupted by someone's awkward cough- Blaine.
"Hey Kurt" Blaine said with a smile. Kurt hurriedly put the list in his messenger bag before Blaine saw it.
"Hey Blaine" he replied. Unfortunately though Blaine did notice Kurt hastily shoving the papers in his messenger bag.
"What was that you just shoved in your bag?"
…
