A/N: Decided to participate in Klaine Week this year. First Prompt of this week should be Early!Klaine. Enjoy!
Dalton Academy, located in Westerville, Ohio and known to be one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. To the Hummel family the names and glamour didn't mean anything: it's what the school could provide to Kurt Hummel. Thanks to the help of Blaine Anderson and Wes Montgomery Kurt Hummel was starting his first day at Dalton Academy today.
Moving in to the dorms was a huge hassle for him yesterday, physically and emotionally. Finn was there to wish him off and told him to keep in touch with a quick hug. Carole had started to tear up before Kurt assured her that, for the last time, everything would be better.
It was Burt that was really surprising.
Burt had a stone cold face on until Carole and Finn announced that they would wait in the car, with that, he broke down.
"Dad, I'll be fine. I have Blaine. He'll be rooming with me and he'll make sure I'm fine and so will all the other Warblers." Kurt tried reassuring him. They sat together on Kurt's bed and just sunk everything in. With that Blaine entered, whistling, and oblivious to everything around him.
Blaine turned around and got startled for a split second. "Sorry for intruding, I'll go now." Before Blaine could walk out Kurt grabbed his wrist and rolled his eyes. Blaine just nodded and continued into the bathroom of their shared dorm.
Kurt turned and gave his father a look.
Burt sighed but obliged anyways. "Fine, I'll go now." He got up and hugged Kurt close to him. "Be careful," Burt warned. Kurt nodded against his shoulder and with a last wave he left the room.
It was the next day and Kurt was nervous. How were people going to react? Did Blaine let what happened to him slip? Will his teachers like him? Kurt's head was reeling and he was panicking.
"Come down before you hurt yourself." Kurt twirled around to see Blaine adjusting his tie in the mirror. Kurt nodded and grabbed his bag about to walk out of the room. Blaine grabbed onto his shoulder and spun him around. Kurt looked at him with big, startled eyes.
"You need to calm down. Everyone will love you and no one is going to judge you and I promise you that I have not let your problem slip." Kurt nodded and before he could think, Blaine was hugging him. Kurt slowly hugged him back and they walked out of their shared room together.
It was a shame that Blaine wasn't in any of Kurt's classes, absolutely none. The day went by well enough, Kurt guessed. No one made fun of him but no one paid much attention to him either. A few Warblers greeted him that morning and once it came down to lunch Blaine was at his side ready to go.
"Let me show you my secret place." Blaine dragged Kurt out into the yard by the hand. Kurt walked calmly next to him, meeting Blaine's excited gaze with his own amused one. Blaine led him all the way to the back of Dalton where there was a large apple tree. Kurt smiled as Blaine ran ahead and lay down on the grass.
Kurt sat down on his bag instead of daring to get his trousers dirty. Blaine pulled out a few packaged sandwiches and other snacks that he snuck from the cafeteria earlier that day. He gave Kurt a grin and handed him a turkey and cheese sandwich, and with a grin of his own, Kurt accepted the sandwich.
They sat there eating and talking for an hour of their lunch time. They discussed movies, books, classes, hobbies, and importantly, fashion.
"I'm just saying, Blaine. Those bow-ties can get out of hand" instead of a snarky remark Blaine threw a chip into Kurt's hair. Kurt decided to retaliate and threw a carrot that hit Blaine straight into the chest. Before a real food fight could break out, Kurt started towards the door.
Blaine ran up and grabbed him around the middle before he could leave, resulting in the two of them on the ground with Blaine on top. They were both laughing so hard that they didn't notice it at all.
Kurt left thinking that he finally found a best friend and that he finally found someplace and someone that made him feel safe.
