Another purple scarf flew across the room and landed on a massive pile of clothes barricading the door. The room was filled with suitcases half full and others bursting at the seams as Kurt was sorting out his many clothes he would be taking with him to Dalton.

'Kurt, you do know we have to leave here at 4' Finn shouted as he struggled to open the door. He managed to shift some of the clothes and peered around at the vast landscape that had developed in Kurt's room.

Finn held a mug of coffee out to him to take and Kurt still sorting his clothes pointed to the only tidy spot in the whole room. Finn placed the mug down and sat next to Kurt watching him for a while until he reached down and picked up a belt. Kurt grabbed it from him and threw into one of the suitcases. Finn helped Kurt with the rest of his packing and they stood up and examined Kurt's room which only had the odd little ornament or drawing that he had collected over the years. Kurt could feel his gut tightening but he held back the tears for Finns sake.

Finn heaved the suitcases one by one up the stairs to the landing, he turned to look into the living room and saw his parents facing the window he turned to the door and noticed Kurt standing outside gazing at the outside of his house. Kurt didn't realise that he would ever be leaving home so soon and just as his family was starting to take shape again. After his mother had died he was all that his dad had, and they managed. He was so happy when he found Carole, even if Kurt did it a bit of encouragement. He started to think about his mum when he felt something touch his right hand and there stood Finn. Kurt rested his head on his shoulder and Finn held his shoulders.

Burt and Carole stood at the door watching the boys as the sky started to cloud over.

'Are you ready Kurt?' his dad asked wanting to get Kurt's things in the car before the rain hit. As he went back to get a suitcase, Carole followed him and they pulled them down the front lawn to the car.

They all headed for the car Kurt opened the car door and turned around to face the house again, the image of his mother standing outside the house bounced into his head, he could see her warm face as she waved to him to go, he took out his iPhone and snapped a picture.

The drive to Dalton Academy was the only bit that Kurt dreaded. He knew that his Dad would lecture him about the 'Blaine situation', yes Kurt liked Blaine but he did not want to tell him this, let alone tell him that he was in love with him. Of course Burt was curious as to how and why this boy suddenly entered his son's life but he had never seen Kurt happier and tended not to ask questions.

'I don't see why you can't just stay at McKinley, Karofsky has been suspended' Finn begged, holding his brothers hand in the back seat of the car.

'Finn, I don't want to contemplate everyday whether he would return, I couldn't deal with being pushed into a locker everyday or the thought of hearing death threats, I just want to get away' he swiftly released his hand from Finns grasp, Finn looked up at Kurt leaning against the window watching the rain and took his shoulder.

'I understand Kurt' Kurt lowered his head until finally resting his hand on top of Finns. For a while it seemed that Finn had just been saying this not to cause an argument but Kurt knew he was trying to help even if he didn't understand how it felt to be the only out gay kid in Mckinley.

'You just need to have courage, am I right Kurt?' as Carole peered over the seat in front and a knowing wink.

As Kurt only caught the one word of importance is caused him to smile and Blaine suddenly popped into Kurt's mind. He hadn't spoken to him all summer and was nervous at the fact that he would be at Dalton for real this time. He had all the time to spend with him away from trouble but he didn't want to bustle in on all of his friends; he didn't want to be the outsider again.

There was silence the rest of the way as the family drove on into the distance. They turned down the familiar side road leading away from the city and saw the long hedgerow which seemed so out of place for a country lane. In the middle stood a large brick archway with the words Dalton Academy printed in the schools colours black and red.

Kurt held onto his blazer and let out a sigh.

As they turned into the entrance the statue in the fountain outside the school stood as proud as always. Boys were running across the fields holding anything they could to keep themselves from getting wet. They parked outside the doors and each of them stepped out the car holding umbrellas, or holding their hoods hoisting Kurt's many suitcases out of the boot.

'Jesus Kurt, are you bringing the whole of Mckinley with you!' Finn laughed as he struggled to carry the biggest suitcase.

Kurt grabbed it from Finns grasp and stepped up the marble steps to open the oak wooden door. The warmth hit his face as the door swung open in the wind and he took it all in before ushering his parents and brother into the hall. He shut the door behind him and took off his jacket, peering around the corridors waiting for anyone to come and welcome him back. But he heard nothing.

'Hello?' he shouted from within the entrance hall we he placed his jacket onto the hanger.

The spiral staircase from which Kurt had stood before was covered in a brand new red runner which normally held many boys bustling up and down trying to get to their next class. Turning around to view the school crest above the door he noticed the look on his families face. He took their jackets Burt was opened mouth gaping with Carole exactly the same next to him, all Finn could was nod.

A sound came from down the left hand corridor which rapidly became to increase the sound of new Italian shoes stamped down the corridor.

'Kurt, your back!' a tall boy appeared and ran towards him. Before he knew it he was lifted in the air then places back down facing the opposite direction. 'We have so much to tell you!'

Wes turned to face Kurt's family and held out his hand, 'Oh how rude of me, Hello Welcome to Dalton Academy, my name is Wes, Kurt's friend other than Blaine here, you must be Mr and Mrs Hummel and Finn'

Burt, Carole and Finn each in turn shook the boys hand and smiled in politeness.

Kurt looked around the hall while Wes was talking to his parents about the yearly skiing trip they have every year until he heard stilettos echo down the hallway to the right of him, this was a sound that Kurt was not used to hearing on the first day back as the only people in the school were the students and the Headmaster. It came to a complete surprise to him when he was met with two pale grey eyes and long blonde hair perfectly straightened.

'Welcome back to Dalton Academy Kurt,' she smiled 'I am Mrs Stevenson, your new Headmistress.' Kurt was so surprised by this the only thing he could do was to hold out his hand for her to shake. He liked the old headmaster and thought of the many reasons why he just happened to have left.

'Could I just borrow Kurt for a moment Mr and Mrs Hummel?' they nodded as Kurt was pulled away at a high speed up the staircase.

'What is it Wes?' Kurt finally got a word in edgeways as they climbed the staircase, but Wes didn't reply. They ran up two flights and down the corridor which led to Kurt's room. He opened the door and everyone was gathered inside sitting around his desk with a laptop open. They each turned around to face Kurt with looks of worry written all over their faces

'Who died?' Kurt said trying to lighten the mood.

Everyone was silent; unusual for all his friends they normally were discussing holidays or setting something on fire.

'Have you noticed anything different around here Kurt?' David spoke.

Kurt shrugged and pulled a confused look onto his face.

'There is something not right about the school this year, hardly anyone has turned up to the academy, no one is running around the school and seeing each other they are all in their rooms?' David explained.

Kurt still unaware at what they were talking about said 'Who is the new head mistress?' Kurt questioned to all of them. They all stared back at him and held the laptop to his face.

'Could I offer you anything to Drink Mr and Mrs Hummel?' they both shook their heads, Carole not taking her eyes off of Burt who seemingly didn't want to talk.

'Finn?'

'Yes, coffee black one sugar if you don't mind, not allowed drinking in the new car.' as he looked at Burt then his mother who smirked.

As she was pouring a cup of coffee, she looked over at Kurt's Father who was staring at the old paintings of previous headmasters.

'Hope to get my own picture up there one day, all the greatest male headmasters are up there I am the first woman at Dalton' She stated as she handed Finn his cup, she proceeded to brush off her blazer and sat down at the desk in front of the Hummel's.

'I assure you that Kurt is and will be very happy here Mr Hummel, he has made many friends already at Dalton and only was here for a short while. We are so happy to have him back,' she confidently told his parents 'and you have my full trust that if anything out of the ordinary happens I will contact you.'

Burt sat forward 'Thank you Mrs Stevenson, he did not stop talking about this school the whole summer and about his friends, but he never mentioned a new head mistress'

'Well the last headmaster had to leave, unfortunately he became rather ill. They called me asking if I would take over the role and I accepted, I have heard many good things about this place.'

'Oh right, umm may I ask mam but what is your policy on relationships?' Burt spat out unaware of his actions

'BURT!' Carole snapped while Finn lowered his head into his hands.

'Oh no don't worry,' she knew this would be asked considering how much Blaine had been talking about Kurt. 'This school does take relationships seriously of course we cannot stop them from being attracted to each other and we allow this but not in the school grounds. All relationships are to be expressed outside of the school.'

'Thank you, that does reassure us, now shall we take Kurt's bags to his room?' Carole said to change the awkward moment.

'That won't be necessary as Nick and Jeff have already taken them up.' The family turned round to see the bags gone from behind the sofa.

Impressed by the military precision Burt stood up and reached out to shake the principals hand 'Thank you, we hope to meet again, obviously not if Kurt ever was to get in trouble with school,' he laughed nervously.

'Don't worry I run a strict school rule policy, can't have them running about the place. They are here to learn not to mess around.'

Carole seemed to feel tension in the room at this point and decided to stand next to her husband as if they were leaving.

'Thank you Mrs Stevenson I am sure that Kurt is in strong hands, we shall probably be seeing you again when we come to see Kurt, now let's be on our way'

As Carole tried to shift Burt out of the room, they got to the entrance hall away from the office when Burt stood still eyes transfixed on the staircase; he reached out and placed his hand on the banister.

'Come on Burt, I'm sure he is knee deep in gossip by now he won't realise we have gone, this is easier, wouldn't want an emotional goodbye we wouldn't let him go!' even this did not shift him.

'We can always give you a tour of the school is you would wish,' Mrs Stevenson mentioned.

'Maybe I will just call him to say goodbye' he reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone, he scrolled down to the number and hit call. He could hear his breath on the other end of the phone and suddenly heard the ring tone from above which cut out. He closed the phone.

As he turned to leave the school he heard banging of running feet from the corridor above.

'Kurt wait, where are you going? Come back!' came shouts from fellow Dalton students as they ran down the stairs,

'Wait for us, we were talking to y-' but before they finished their sentence they looked up to see Kurt with his arms around his father, feet lifted off the ground they looked each other and smiled as they backed away whispering back up the stairs.

Burt held onto his son, never wanting to let go. He could remember the first time that he held him as a baby and realised that he would do anything to protect him and this school would be a way.

'Bye Dad,' was all Kurt could bring himself to say as Burt placed him down onto the marble floor.

Burt held his face in his hands and became teary eyed 'don't worry Dad its fine, I will be fine, there is already something for me to sort out and I have only been here 10 minutes.' He said with a sarcastic tone as he placed his hand over his father's; of course he wasn't gonna tell him that this place is so full of drama it could be the next sitcom as we know it. With the look of worry in Burt's eyes he just leaned forward and kissed Kurt's forehead followed by a nod as he turned to walk to the car.

Carole ran at Kurt nearly giving him a heart attack and he let out a sudden exhale of breath, she leaned to his ear and whispered 'If anything happens you ring me, I may not be your mum but I am always here for you.' She held him in her arms and squeezed him one last time before kissing him on the cheek and followed Burt.

Finn stepped forward and ruffled Kurt's hair as he always does and nudged him on the arm followed by a hug. Finn embraced the hug this time knowing that he would not see him for a while. He let go and gestured a high five, which Kurt returned.

Finn ran to the door of the car looked back and held his hand against his ear as a phone and mouthed 'Call me' which made Kurt giggle. He watched at the doorway as the car started, Carole holding back the tears blew him a kiss and waved, as the car drove off there was a sudden outbursts of the car horn as all of them were waving out of the window as they past the fountain and drove out of the archway. The car disappeared into the distance.

'...ok so how are we gonna tell him?' asked Jeff to his group as they gathered back into Kurt's bedroom.

'Because I don't know about you but I do not want to tell that big blued eye boy that his 'love interest' won't be coming back to Dalton for the next month!' he loudly whispered trying to contain his panic state.

'Well he didn't notice that Blaine wasn't in the room when we showed him the information on the laptop, maybe that's a sign that he knows he won't be here!' David stated.

'No, you idiot cause his phone went off before he had the chance besides we have to tell him as Blaine texted us too!' Wes was getting wound up at the fact that no one could think of a way to tell him.

'I'm sure he will be ok with it,' came a voice of a small boy standing amongst the elder boys 'it will give him time to think about getting back into the swing of Dalton life I guess.'

All of the boys turned to the small boy puzzling as to how and why he was there. He was a small boy, very much a smaller version of Kurt, he had the same big eyes, the same piggy nose but he had darker hair which kinked at the edges.

'Sorry guys,' David apologised to the group 'this is my younger brother Thomas, don't ask why he decided to come here I have been lecturing him all morning hence me not being with Wes to greet Kurt. He just arrived today with my parents at the front of the school.' The boys didn't even bother to ask why he was there one, because David didn't like to explain and they didn't want to get on the wrong side of him at the moment and two, because in the mean time they had to tell Kurt what was happening.

'Well someone is going to have to say something; we can't just let him walk around the school aimlessly trying to look for him that's just cruel!' Wes thought of the poor boy spending the next week waiting outside his classroom or waiting at the gate hoping to see his face. 'Why is Blaine not coming back then?' puzzled Nick looking bewildered to what was actually going on. Everyone turned to look at him and sighed as he lowered his head and the others switched back to each other trying to figure out what was the best way.

'So Blaine is with his Father, skiing in France tell me why again?' Thad broke the silence.

'Because, he is trying to clear things up, you know about the fact that Blaine's dad left his mum for a younger model who he doesn't know yet, and that Blaine's mum is broke and living in England!' Jeff shouted.

'Alright quiet it down already,' Thad was so used to him getting so loud when he gets frustrated he controlled the urge to shout back 'Yes but why didn't he just do it here? Where he lives? Surely that would have been easier?'

'Well no cause Blaine's sister is still so upset that she doesn't like them talking about it at home, and he couldn't do it here for obvious reasons! He said so in his text look read.' As everyone gathered around Jeff's phone he scrolled down to Blaine's last message.

Gone to France skiing; Dad wants to clear things! It is hectic so decided not to return to Dalton for a month as he felt it wouldn't be good for me to be there? Our flight leaves tomorrow the day everyone comes back! Tell everyone I said hi, and tell Kurt I will be back as soon as I can, don't want to leave him with you lot for long he will go mad - BA

Suddenly a loud smash came from the corridor in the direction of the staircase just where Kurt had been standing to say goodbye to his family, the boys heads shot up exchanged looks of terror and rushed down the corridor falling over each other and smashing into the sides of the ways until they reached the stairs David and Wes were in front followed by Thomas Jeff Nick and Thad. David and Wes halted just as they got to the bottom of the stairs not bracing the other boys as they fell in a heap at the bottom staring at the back of Kurt, they each looked up to see which way he was staring, and looked towards the door.

The door had been flung open leaving an indent in the side of the wooden panelled wall, a plant pot beside the wall had fallen and smashed right at Kurt's feet which caused the large smash and standing in the doorway drenched covered in mud holding a rucksack and breathing heavily was Blaine. Everyone stared in shock.

Blaine fell to the floor with exhaustion and everyone scrambled to help him up, Kurt held tightly onto his hand. The boys managed to lift him up and move him into the common room placing him onto the nearby lounger. He was wheezing, as if he had swallowed a dog toy.

Everyone was passing Kurt different items for Blaine, a bowl of hot water, a blanket followed by a hot drink of some sort. Kurt was knelt tending to Blaine's feet as it looked like he had been walking for hours. The common room had never been so frantic, things flying everywhere as Kurt nursed Blaine.

'You know you don't have to do this Kurt,' Blaine finally able to talk protested as a thought of Kurt being a nurse came to his mind and was too much to handle, 'you should be unpacking, besides it should be me who is looking after you!' Blaine protested again, but all he got in return was a loud groan telling him that he should shut up.

After Kurt had finished tending to him, he finally stood up arms crossed and said 'ok now you can talk, what has happened?'

'You mean you don't know why I'm here seeing that I should be in France?' Blaine asked hoping that it was the right answer. The blank look of Kurt's face alarmed Blaine and before he could say anything Kurt's eyebrow lifted.

'France? What do you mean France? I haven't heard anything about this!' Kurt tried to sound calm as he looked around and saw all the boys looking down at their feet.

'We tried to tell you Kurt when Wes took you from your family this morning, but we were so busy worrying about the fact that this place is like a graveyard, we did ask you if anything was different but you didn't notice,' David answered finally as Kurt's face seemed to rise in temperature.

David quickly tried to finish a sentence 'but we wanted to tell you when you had settled in, we thought it would have been too much, us telling you that he would be away for a month!'

Kurt's face was so red with anger that David was too scared to talk so Wes stepped in,

'But as we were deciding when to tell you, the one who was supposed to be away turned up! Blaine!'

Blaine jumped up 'Hey, do not put this on me; you were supposed to tell him, because I was too scared too.' At this point Blaine coughed suddenly then realised what he had said and knowing he was in trouble he sat down slowly.

Blaine looked down at Kurt's feet watching his right doc martin shoe tap against the floor. 'I'm sorry I didn't tell you Kurt, I just didn't want this stress already on you in the first day back of Dalton. I felt that if I let the others tell you then it would have been easier, there is a reason why I was going though,'

He was now looking into Kurt's eyes as if waiting for his permission to speak.

Kurt sat down on the sofa opposite and nodded. 'So you know that my Dad left my mum right,' he continued, and Kurt gave a knowing nod, 'well I needed to talk to him why he did it, I mean we haven't got along at all and I didn't want to do it in front of my sister because we always end up arguing so we left. So anyway we were driving to the airport when my Dad turned to me and said,' there was an awkward silence as everyone leaned in. 'as he said that he left because he found out that he was dying'

The whole room froze in astonishment; Kurt looked at Blaine across from where he was sitting reached out and took his hand.

'I just left, I don't know why I panicked and just ran out of the car, and here I am! I felt the only people I could talk to this about were you.' Everyone crowded around him and held his shoulders, Blaine finally felt home.

There was a sound of stiletto heels coming down the corridor which rang alarm bells in the boys heads and Kurt looked up to see the head mistress standing at the door watching the boys comfort Blaine, she leaned her head through the door frame.

'Blaine your back early, everything is in your room and that second bed you requested is in there too.' She didn't want to hang around only because she saw the look on the boy's faces as they faced her gawping.

Blaine looked up at the door, he had stopped breathing and everyone was staring at him, Blaine recognised that voice but where from? Before he could start to think about it,

'Why did you request a second bed?' Nick questioned.

Everyone looked at Kurt who turned a crimson colour. There was a sudden burst of laughter from David and Wes and Kurt jumped up hitting Wes round the head with a spare blanket they had brought Blaine. Kurt jumped onto the coffee table and just as David threw a pillow at him he ducked sending Thad flying off his chair. The whole room turned into a wrestling match, even Blaine joined in at one point spraying the water which his feet were placed over Kurt who was hiding behind the lounger.

Kurt soaking wet from the play fight walked with Blaine from the common room down the Atler hallway, Kurt knew this corridor far too well.

Wes and David had their own rooms opposite each other; you had to make sure to duck whenever you pass as you are most likely to be hit in the face with a football. Following that was Thad's room he was the brainy one, you would always find him confined in his room surrounded by papers and books. Jeff and Nick shared a room just because Nick is too stupid to be left alone. Followed was Blaine's room was the centre of the corridor as they approached they both turned to each other.

'Kurt, you really helped this afternoon, thank you.' Blaine's concentration was on Kurt's eyes as he spoke, the thought rattled in his mind that one day he would just grab Kurt and pull him into his room and lock the door. He was tempted as he had not seen him in over 6 weeks, Blaine bit his lip. Kurt watching Blaine's lip felt as if he needed to tell him what he found out on the laptop earlier from the others, but after the trauma he was going through with his father he couldn't.

'Don't worry about it, I'll always be here for you, you know that' he took Blaine's hand. Blaine gave a sudden shudder.

Blaine stroked the top of Kurt's hand with his thumb, 'I know,' he said softly. He wanted to pull him close. Just to feel his breath on his neck.

Kurt staring at Blaine and he wondered whether Blaine would tell him the requested second bed was for him. Blaine leaned forward their noses touching he stayed there for a second waiting for Kurt to pull back but he didn't, Blaine smiled leaned to the side and placed his head of Kurt's shoulder and hugged him around his waist. A flush of heat ran across Kurt's chest and face as he wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck.

'Bye,' Blaine whispered in his ear, 'I'm just gonna ring mum, you know what parents are like. Then I will come help you unpack.' His breath tingled Kurt's ear as they both let go.

Blaine disappeared into his room.

Kurt headed further down the corridor thinking how he needed to tell Blaine, he reflected back to how he had reacted that the boys hadn't told him that Blaine may have been away for a while and felt guilty. It was crucial to tell him he decided to tell him when Blaine came to help unpack but before he had the chance to practise he realised that his door was ajar.

Kurt picked up a nearby pillow that had been dragged from the common room that same day and ran into the room.

'AAAGGHHH' Kurt screamed as he whacked the boy with the pillow the boy jumped on top of the bed panting his heart pounding in his chest.

'Woah Woah it's me TTThomas, David's brother,' he screamed with a stutter whilst ducking from Kurt throwing a nearby empty cardboard box at him 'III was assigned this room this is my stuff!' Kurt hit him again with the pillow sending the boy flying off the bed. A shaking hand shot up from behind the bed holding a crumpled sheet of paper removed from the boy's school trouser pocket. He held his eyes shut as he felt Kurt take the paper from him and heard a snigger.

Opening his eyes he peered over the top of the mattress to see Kurt smiling at him. Kurt held his hand out to help him onto the bed. Thomas looked at his hand and hesitantly placed it there and was pulled up. They both sat there 'Sorry Thomas I thought you were someone else, you will get used to people sneaking into your room and regarding your letter that is Wes's hand writing, he tries to copy the head masters writing to trick the new kids i got that last year but this writing is the old one.' He held a finger to his lips as he approached the door. The young boy watched intently as Kurt counted with his finger 3,2,1, at number one he flung the door open and two boys fell face first onto the carpet'You're not fooling anyone Wes and Thad!' he laughed as the boys stood up and brushed down their new uniform.

'KURT! That was going to be so funny, we had the whole thing recorded you should have played along with it!' Wes grunted. 'No, because I know how it feels to be the new kid in the corridor!' he looked at Thomas who was still white with shock. Kurt titled his head to the side went over and placed his arm round Thomas's shoulders, they both sat there for a while when Wes lifted the camera from his pocket and decided to start filming again.

'Where am I supposed to be then?' the boy asked Kurt. Kurt side smiled at him and they both got up and led him out the room not forgetting to knock Wes's camera which flew in the air.. They both left down the corridor passing Blaine on the way, Blaine patted Thomas's back as they walked past and shot angry looks at the two boys who fell to the floor catching the camera and laughing.

David saw Kurt escorting his shaken brother downstairs and turned to see Blaine staring into Kurt's room. Blaine shook his head at the two about to turn into his room when he noticed David.

'What did you do to my brother, Wes?' David stormed at him from the other end of the corridor. Knocking everything in his path, his eyes focused on Wes as he stepped out of the room.

'We pretended to send Thomas a letter, saying his room had been changed you should have seen his face! Kurt ran in there and scared the life out of him! Look I have it recorded.' As he placed the camera by his face

David grabbed the camera and threw it at the wall and leapt at Wes placing his hands around his neck and pinning him to the wall.

'He was bullied at his old school, he came here to get a better life and all you are doing is making him scared, I told him not to come here cause I know what you are like!' he stared into his best friend's eyes with such hatred you would have sworn they were enemies. Wes whimpered as he realised that his feet were not touching the ground.

Blaine grabbed the back of David's blazer and held him back from Wes. He had to put his whole weight into pulling him off, David elbowed Blaine away and he fell to the floor.

'David, stop. You know what happened before, think about what you are doing.'

David brushed himself off and retreated into his room. Wes just stared at his door, then at Blaine who was now looking at the floor.

Before Wes could open his mouth to what Blaine had said Blaine walked off in the direction that Kurt took Thomas and Thad had already vanished from sight.

As Wes stared down the corridor he couldn't help but realise how the old headmaster had left so quickly without telling anyone.

Kurt left the school office as Thomas was escorted by prefects to his new room. It is amazing how Kurt had only been at the school an hour and he already had something to deal with. Kurt felt that he needed to protect Thomas, as he had been through the same sort of thing that he had. Also Kurt felt glad that he now had someone to talk to about his problems, of course he had Blaine but he wanted to keep the conversations with him separate from his problems. Thinking of Blaine he realised that he had not told him what he had seen just earlier that day he quickly opened his phone to text when he found he had two messages already.

Heard that Thomas is alright now thanks to you, seems like you have found a new best friend! David and Wes are on edge just warning you if you see them. Blaine.

Typical it is amazing how news travels so fast. David and Wes that was new, but I'm sure it is just one of their other tiffs like when one of them stole the others t-shirt, they didn't speak for hours. The next message was apparently sent just 4 minutes ago.

So now that you are out of the office, shall I help you unpack? Blaine.

'You never put your phone on loud do you?' Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear from behind which made Kurt jump and drop his phone. Blaine quickly dropped down in front of him picked up the phone peered up at Kurt and stood placing it into Kurt's blazer pocket.

'Don't you know it is rude to come up behind someone and nearly scare them to death' Kurt covered his heart as it was beating so fast it could have burst out his chest. Blaine placed his hand over Kurt's.

'By the looks of things I won't be doing that again.' He held out his hand as if he was asking Kurt to dance, 'so shall we finish your unpacking? Or am I just going to stay here like a numpty while you catch your breath.'

Kurt sighed and placed his hand in Blaine's, Blaine lifted it and kissed it very softly before dragging Kurt off in the direction of the dorms.

They were passing all the other dorm rooms with the boys singing, playing games and even some decorating their room. He thought about how he would place him room this time, maybe changing the bed so that it was in the middle of the room facing away from large cathedral windows. He thought about how he was going to fit even more clothes into the small built in wardrobe and dresser. He had planned to buy some boxes to fit under the bed but he thought he could do that with the spare cardboard boxes that were always shoved behind the curtains that the school give to them, as they know they would be leaving with even more items than before.

As Blaine stepped into Kurt's room he removed his blazer and hung it on the back of the door, he looked at the many suitcases and rolled his sleeves up rubbing his hands together he turned to look at Kurt who was shutting the door.

'So where do we start? I am thinking the clothes only because then we will know how much room you will have left because no doubt we are going to have to request another dresser for you!' he watched Kurt move across the room and sit on his desk chair that was placed by the fireplace. 'Kurt? What's wrong?' he walked towards him and knelt next to the chair tilting his head so he could see Kurt's face.

Kurt sat back in the chair and crossed his legs. 'Blaine there is something I need to tell you,' these words were not something Blaine wanted to hear at this time, he was worried that it had something to do with him and Kurt's feelings. He felt his stomach drop and he swallowed hard.

'You know the new Head Mistress Blaine?' Blaine nodded with anticipation, and looked deeply into Kurt's eyes. Kurt slid off the chair and knelt next to Blaine, he took his face in his hand 'She is your father's new girlfriend.'

Blaine fell back off of his knees and lay down in front of Kurt, Kurt sat and placed a hand on Blaine's lifted knee. Kurt didn't know what to do; he was shocked at the fact that he had just told him, let alone having to deal with the consequences if there were any.

There was a deep breath from Blaine and he lifted his arms over his head running his fingers through his hair. 'How did you find this out Kurt?' he asked whilst breathing slowly.

'On the Internet, there was an article in the paper how the new Head of the Dalton Academy was not only a woman, but was seeing the minister of the school Henry Anderson. I'm so sorry Blaine'

Blaine could remember when he heard her voice in the corridor that same day but he brushed it off. He had heard that voice before in his house when he had arrived home early, but he just couldn't make it out until now. Blaine raised himself up leaning back against his hands and looked at Kurt who was still holding his knee.

Kurt laid his head down onto the same knee and wrapped his other arm around his leg in a hug. He stayed there for a while and then closed his eyes. He could feel Blaine fidgeting with his hair and sinking his nails into the carpet. Kurt curled himself around Blaine's leg, so that his whole body was touching him and he felt a finger run across his forehead. Kurt opened his eyes to see Blaine moving a strand of Kurt's hair from his face.

'Thank you for telling me Kurt, would it be ok if I stay here for a while so I can take it all in?' he said as he removed his finger from Kurt's forehead. Kurt nodded and got up to start to unpack.

As he got to the bed Kurt tossed over a cushion and a blanket which landed by Blaine's chest, he knew that Blaine wouldn't want to leave all too soon. He opened the first suitcase and pulled out a pair of Levi Jeans and hung them in the cupboard. Turning back he saw Blaine roll to the side and drift off into a sleep.
