Hey there everyone and welcome to my third story, which is called Glad You Came. A clear reminder that this is a Kurtbastian story, not a Klaine story. I'm really sorry that I'm not updating Inreto or Bloodmoon but to be honest, I was slacking off and my mind is blank out of ideas. xD

Special thanks to Kerwin because the reason why this story lives is because of him. :D *gives big round of applause* A lot of the scenes are his idea and ninety percent of this story is all thanks to him! :D

Kurt's a Cheerio here, BTW And Rachel isn't dating Finn here, but she does have a crush on him. Kurt and Karofsky are good friends here too :)

Glad You Came - Chapter 1

Kurt had a really, really rough day at school today and he had Azimio and the entire football team to thank. It took him a very long time to remove the stains on his clothes - he really wasn't in a good mood today. In fact, he spent the entire time storming through hallways, the distinct smell of a grape slushie still lingering on him.

He never understood why they did that to him because Cheerios such as himself are usually at the top of the popular list. Maybe it was because he was part of the Glee Club - because he wasn't the only Cheerio getting a slushie-facial; in fact, Santana and Quinn were getting slushie-facials every day and they were Cheerios too.

Even Rachel and Mercedes couldn't cheer him up - in fact, they made him even more annoyed than he already was.

At Glee Club, they went on and on about who sings better; Whitney Houston or Charice and eventually, it turned into a massive diva-off, with Rachel singing Louder and Mercedes singing I Will Always Love You. Then they spent half an hour, trying to tell Kurt who was the better singer. What annoyed him was why they had to turn to him to be the judge.

In fact, they relied on him all the time. They were Kurt's best friends, but it was enough to give him a headache.

His father wasn't much help either. He spent the entire day watching a marathon of Deadliest Catch, completely ignoring Kurt's woes. He tried to pay attention but as soon as Kurt said something, Burt's attention would be fixed to the screen.

Kurt loved his dad, but he was really upset that he cared about how a bunch of people go fishing than him.

Lima Bean was, he guessed, his only hope of happiness for today. (asides Breaking Dawn Part One that's coming later that night) What he really, really wanted right now was his grande non-fat mocha and that warm slice of cheesecake he loves a lot. That was usually enough to make him happy after a hard time at school.

He stood in line patiently, humming to Where Do Broken Hearts Go, waiting for the person in front of him to finish taking their order so that he could grab his mocha, his cake and watch his Twilight movie. After a few minutes, the person in front left and Kurt walked forward...

...until a guy cut in front of him.

He gave Kurt a wink before pursuing his order. Kurt payed no attention to this. As if he was gonna let this guy make his day worse. He waited patiently for him to finish his order while trying his hardest not to think about certain events that occurred earlier.

"Hey, thanks again." The boy winked. Perhaps he was teasing Kurt. He scurried off, looking for a seat.

Kurt, again, paid no attention to him. He made his steps to the counter, ordered his usual coffee order and that cheesecake he was most looking forward to. "I'm sorry sir, our previous customer just ordered our last slice. Would you like something else instead?"

Kurt's jaw dropped and immediately, Kurt felt so angry and pissed that he had to resist the urge to attack someone.

The guy bought his cake... his cheesecake.

Raged, he stormed to the guy, who was eating his cake heartily, ignoring the barista telling him that he forgotten his mocha.

But Kurt was far too angry to focus on anything else - except the person that took his damn cake.

"Excuse me," Kurt said firmly and the guy stared at him, smirking at him but Kurt could see confusion in his eyes. "But I believe you cut the line and took my cake."

The guy's face remained calm and he was still smirking but Kurt could tell he was slightly pissed.

"So? Why didn't you stop me from cutting in line? And technically, I already paid for it."

Kurt stomped his feet, kinda like a spoiled brat. "Give it back - it's my cake! You cut in line so it's mine!"

The guy was scowling now. "What can I do? Barf it out?"

"Then why the hell did you cut the line?"

"I told you, you allowed me to - why are you getting on my back just because I bought your favourite damn piece of cake?" he asked, very pissed now. "It's just cake!"

Kurt knew he couldn't fight back because he did have a point there - but that didn't stop him from getting angrier and more stressed. He opened his mouth but nothing came out.

He was now boiling with rage and hate now. He knew he couldn't fight back with what the guy's saying (it's true, it was just a damn piece of cake) but unfortunately, before he could stop himself, he heard a loud smack and he found himself staring at the hand-print on the guy's face.

His hand-print.

The guy stared at him, shocked and speechless. Kurt's hands were covering his mouth and quickly.

"I-I'm so sorry!" Kurt squeaked. Quickly, he ran before the guy could come to his senses, blushing when he realized he caught the attention of everyone.

Kurt took all night to calm down after the incident over at Lima (in fact, he missed his movie too) but eventually, he calmed down when he realized that meeting guy again was a one in a million chance - there was no way he was going to meet a person he met in Lima Bean, would he? There was no chance for that!

He sighed, walking over to his locker, taking his books out and he could feel somebody's body warmth coming from behind him. He spun around quickly to find someone standing in front of him, looking very worried as he stared at his schedule.

Finally, he turned and noticed Kurt.

"E-Excuse me, I'm new here," he stuttered. "Can you please help me get to the chemistry lab?"

Kurt pitied him - because he remembered his first day at McKinley. Instead of helping, the jock who he asked for directions (who turned out to be Azimio) guided him to the bathroom, where he got a really horrible swirly. Then he was sent to the principal's office because he confronted Azimio and ended up slapping him.

Apparently, if he slapped someone, it would always end up badly for him.

Kurt didn't want to be that kind of person.

Kurt smiled eventually. "Yeah sure," he said brightly. "It's my pleasure!"

The boy smiled back and stuck out his hand to him. "Hi, I'm Blaine Anderson," he said. "Thanks a lot for this - the past few people I asked to help me threw a slushie at me." He shuddered at the thought. "I wasn't expecting you to help me, coz you're a cheerleader and I expected you to be... well... kinda like them."

Kurt shook his hand, staring into Blaine's beautiful hazel eyes. "Kurt Hummel." he replied. "And don't worry, I'm not like that. Well, I'm the I'll-burn-you-down-if-you-take-my-spotlight but not the come-in-my-school-and-I-spray-whip-cream-on-you."

Blaine laughed and Kurt found himself laughing with him. Their eyes met and Kurt blushed, immediately looking away. "C'mon, class is about to start," Kurt stuttered and Blaine stared at his wristwatch and pouted.

"Damn, you're right," he mumbled. "Let's go."

The walk from his locker to the chemistry lab with Blaine was the best two minutes of his life - Blaine was talking with him for what seems like forever. Blaine was really friendly and kind and Kurt couldn't take his eyes off him - he loved his smile, his attitude and how nice he was.

"Oh, shoot - we're here already," Blaine muttered, staring at the doorway to the chemistry lab. He smiled at Kurt. "Well, see you later, okay? I think I'll need more help getting around here. So, after class?"

"After class," Kurt repeated, slightly breathless.

Blaine nodded, smiling at him once last time before entering the chemistry lab. It took Kurt a few seconds to pull Blaine away from his sight. He was sure his cheeks were flushed.

Mercedes and Rachel were giggling madly, both eager to learn about Blaine. Kurt rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed, trying to urge them to get back to the movie but they looked like they wouldn't budge until he told them something. They scooted to the side of Rachel's bed to give Kurt room to lay back.

"Oh c'mon, Kurt - please tell us!" Rachel urged impatiently. "We both always tell you about our crushes but you always keep to yourself - but we won't let you hide it any more; now tell us!"

Kurt sighed. "Fine, fine. His name's Blaine Anderson okay? He was lost and he asked me for help. I couldn't leave him all lost and helpless so I decided to help him, okay? The walk to the chemistry lab was really short - like only five minutes - but I don't know... he was really nice to me." Mercedes and Rachel squealed in absolute delight. "Jeez guys, it's just a crush." he scoffed.

"Shut up, Kurt - shut up!" Rachel squealed, flailing like a duck being chased by a dog. "I wonder how it feels like to be in love?" she sighed romantically. "Well, I do have a crush on Finn.."

"Finn?" Kurt blurted, almost choking on the fries in his mouth. "My stepbrother, Finn?"

Rachel scowled. "Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"

Kurt turned away, pretending to be very interested with his fries. "No..." he muttered uneasily.

Mercedes waved it away. "Who cares about that, Rachel? Kurt finally has a crush!" she squealed.

Kurt gaped at her. "What - 'finally has a crush'?"

She shrugged. "It's true."

Kurt kept him mouth shut; she didn't have to know about his past crushes anyway.

Rachel grinned. "You know what, Kurt? We're going to do the best we can to make you win him over."

"What? Why?" he whined, annoyed.

Mercedes make a tsk-tsk sound and wagged her finger in front of him. "Now now, Kurt - I know you want him really badly and we're best friends - we need to make your dreams come true." Before Kurt could protest, she was already grabbing her clothes to change and Rachel was doing the same thing.

"Wait now?" Kurt said. "It's night!"

Mercedes rolled her eyes. "It's 7.34, the mall closes at 10.30."

"And do what - buy clothes? I need to be in my Cheerios uniform at school, remember? - or else Coach Sue would egg my car or something - or worst, kick me off the Cheerios."

Rachel laughed. "It's just one day, how bad could it be?"

Kurt gnawed nervously on his lip - he didn't really want to get on her nerves because she could either scream insults at him like a barbarian or throw furniture around, like she does whenever Principal Figgins refused to increase her salary. Yet again, however, he could always change before Cheerios practice. So how bad could it be?

"Fine." he sighed, raising his arms to surrender.

Before he knew it, he was stuck in the mall, wearing just about every single thing Mercedes and Rachel liked (including a rather bright pink looking tuxedo that made Kurt scream "No!" when they asked him to try it out) and soon, Mercedes and Rachel came with four shopping bags filled with clothes.

"Oh my God, did you guys buy everything?" Kurt yelped.

Mercedes waved her hand dismissively. "Come on, pretty boy - it's makeover time."

Kurt's face was red as he walked into the hallway, wearing the clothes Mercedes and Rachel bought for him - which was a white long-sleeved shirt with a black vest, skin tight jeans and with a pair of black gothic boots. Normally, he wouldn't be ashamed to wear something fashionable.

In fact, he was embarrassed that Blaine would realize what he's trying to do.

But in a way, he knew he would attract Blaine's attention because when he was strolling down the halls, a girl went over to him and asked if he wanted to 'hook up' with her, which made Kurt shriek and run before she got a chance to kidnap him or something.

Blaine was at his locker, his eyes fixed to a history book.

"H-hey Blaine," Kurt stammered. God, why am I so nervous?

Blaine smiled brightly upon hearing his voice but when he turned to look at him, his smile faded and his eyes looked at Kurt up and down. Kurt blushed.

Blaine's checking me out.

After about three seconds (which felt like years to Kurt), Blaine smiled at Kurt. "You look really nice today, Kurt," he said, smiling. Kurt felt his face turning bright red. "So, you wanna go get lunch together at recess? I really want you to be there coz... you're my only friend here."

"Yeah s-sure," Kurt stammered.

Blaine grinned happily. "Alright, see you then?"

"Y-yeah."

Blaine waved him goodbye and left quickly and Kurt cheered silently because apparently, Mercedes and Rachel's tactics were working - maybe their plan of getting him with Blaine would work. Kurt was praying hard so that things would go according to plan.

"Hey there, Kurt," a voice called.

Kurt turned around and saw Finn grinning happily at him. "Oh, hi Finn."

Finn eyed him up and down. "Nice clothes, Kurt, but why aren't you in your Cheerios uniform? Won't you get beaten up by Coach Sue because of that?"

"I'll just change before Cheerios practice," Kurt shrugged.

"Well, okay - but you don't really get out of your Cheerios uniform... why are you choosing to wear normal clothes now?" Finn asked.

Kurt grinned. "For no reason..."

Finn closed his locker, looking like his brain was trying to figure the mini-puzzle Kurt set up for him. "It's a guy, isn't it?" he guessed. Kurt smiled, which made Finn laugh. "I knew it!" Kurt giggled.

"Finn?" another voice called and Kurt blinked a few times. Wait a second...

Kurt turned around and found himself face-to-face with a tall, rather attractive-looking person. Their eyes met and Kurt's eyes widened and he gasped in shock. The man raised an eyebrow, his eyes flared, the rage and hate in his eyes clearly visible.

"Sebastian? Kurt?" Finn called, slightly confused.

"You," Sebastian growled.

Let me know what you think! :D

Sorry if it sucks, I was kinda sleepy xD
