TOGETHER WE ARE

Chapter 1

Simul

A Sophomore in High School. Literally thrown out of his house at 16. Forced to get out of his fathers sight. All because of who he truly was. He didn't understand and he knew he never would.

The past few weeks were a blur. He remembered the yelling, the hitting and the fighting. He remembered his mother trying to keep his father off of him and then getting hit herself. But other than that he couldn't remember. He didn't remember packing or being forced onto the plane and feeling the cool Ohio air when he got off.

But none of that mattered now. As far as his father was concerned he was no longer welcome back at home or even in California. It didn't matter, nothing mattered now. He had no home. He had no family. He no longer had any friends. He had nothing. And nothing mattered.

And now he found himself standing outside of the gates of Dalton Academy. He was dropped off there by the car his mother had arranged for him. He stood there staring at the gate, he couldn't move, he felt paralyzed.

He finally gathered up the courage and walked through the gate.

The atmosphere wasn't school like at all. It looked like a small village, with tall apartment buildings set aside in various locations for students who decided to board. There were small shops for the students' necessities, a library, a small movie theatre and arcade, and of course the school buildings.

There were students everywhere, even though it was Monday, in the middle of the day. He had no map of the school, though he realized he should have gotten one, and he didn't have the nerves to stop and ask someone. So he continued walking until he was abruptly stopped by a small boy. Now usually he wouldn't be the one to call someone small, since he was 5'7 but this boy was shorter and skinnier than himself. The boy just stared up at him, until another, taller boy came running up calling, "John! John! Why did you run off like that, I thought I had lost you!" He looked up and said "Oh hello there! Are you new here?"

He would have responded but he was too baffled by the small boy staring up at him.

"Um, hello? Anybody there?" the taller boy asked, waving his hands in front of his face. And at this the boy looked up and replied "Yes, sorry. I'm, uh, Blaine." he was sort of frightened by the two boys who had approached him in this manner. He wasn't used to being approached and being asked a direct question such as this.

"I'm Nick, and this is John." He said, gesturing to the smaller boy. "You look rather lost, and kinda terrified. Are you all right."

"Um yeah, I'm fine, but I would like some help if it wouldn't be too much to ask." Blaine replied cautiously.

"Oh, of course not, I just need to return John here to his brother, he's only visiting and he just ran off without saying anything." Nick said, glaring at the small boy. "Where are you headed to, Blaine?"

"Well, I was told to report to blue, but I have no idea what that is or means."

Nick looked rather amused. "Not an it, a who. Blue is the name of the head of the Simul dorms. There are eight dorm buildings, all in different parts of campus. I personally like to think of Simul as the best dorms."

"Whys that?"

"You'll see. It may take some time, but you'll understand soon enough. Come on, I'll take you there." Nick offered just as a tall blond headed boy ran up saying, "Thank the Heavens I found you two!" He then leaned over to Nick and kissed him briefly. Blaine couldn't help but smile, and he suddenly didn't feel so alone. "Blaine, this is my boyfriend, Jeff, and John's older brother, Jeff this is Blaine, he just transferred and he's in our dorm, I was just about to take him there.

"Oh, how wonderful! You'll love it there Blaine! Its nice to meet you by the way. I'd love to come with you, but I need to drive John here back to Lima. I'll join you later though." He smiled and kissed Nick one last time before heading off in the direction of the gate. Nick watched him leave and smiled as he did so.

He turned back to Blaine and said, "Well lets go then!" He said it with a bit too much enthusiasm, and Blaine just smiled as the other boy turned a little red.

Simul wasn't very far from where they had been standing. Blaine gazed up at the tall building in wonder. It was an old brick building, but it was beautiful, built as though for gods. Nick seemed to be amused by his expression but just let him gaze for another moment before saying, "Alright, there will be plenty of time for that later. Let's go inside."

The inside was even more beautiful than the outside. It was filled with bookshelves, some stacked high with books, others with movies and games and the rest with other various things, such as art supplies and finished projects with what also looked to be finished school work. But there was one shelf in particular that caught his attention. It had a line of framed pictures with two boys in each, with captions of the date, place, and the name of the two boys in the picture, with a big plaque on the top self that said "SIMUL NOS SUNT". This interested him, but he didn't have the time to stare for long, because another boy, tall and lean, walked up and said "Well hello there, you must be Blaine, I'm Blue." He smiled very warmly at him and then turned to Nick "Good afternoon Nick. Wes wanted me to let you know that he is looking for you, and he has been for quite some time. But he won't tell anyone what's wrong, he's just freaking out about something, I think I heard him say 'Warblers' once, but I could be wrong. And where has Jeff run off too?"

"He went to take John back to Lima, he should be back soon. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go see what's wrong with Wes this time. It was good to meet you Blaine, I'll see you later." And he disappeared up the stairs without another word.

"Alrighty then. I'll show you around. That over there is the main kitchen, you can leave anything you'd like in there. Over there is the library and the game area." He gestured to where all the bookshelves were. "Follow me, and I'll take you to your room."

They walked up the stairs and down a hall until they reached a white door, every door was colorful, but this one was just plain white, he found that rather odd. As they walked in, of course Blaine had been expecting to find just an ordinary dorm room, but this looked like an apartment. It was fully furnished with a living room and a small dining area and kitchen. There was a set of stairs that Blue told him led to 8 more doors and single rooms. "Nick and Jeff will be moving into this dorm as well. There was a, um accident in there room a few days ago and they aren't able to return until tonight, and then they will be moving in with you." As he said this, all the warmness left his eyes and they were left full of what he recognized as pain. He could tell this wasn't a subject to pry on. But just as soon as it had gone, the warmness came back and he smiled as if trying to forget something terrible. "You all can paint your door whenever you'd like. We use it to express the personality of the people living in the room. Kinda weird, I know."

"No, it's not at all actually."

Blue smiled. "Where are the rest of your things?"

"Oh, they're outside in the van my mother sent me in." "Alright, well I'll have them brought up." He reached into his pocket and got out his phone, dialed a number and then said "Yes, hi, can I have Blaine Anderson's belongings brought into Simul?" A pause, and then to Blaine, "What color is the van?"

"It's black and says Tim Anderson on the side."

"Wait, THE Tim... Never mind" Then he repeated what Blaine had said and then shut the phone. "So you're related to THE Tim Anderson? Like the producer?" He questioned with huge eyes.

"Yeah, unfortunately, he's not as glorious as you might think. I'm his son, well..." He winced, "not anymore I suppose."

Blue, seeing the look in his eyes, decided not to ask and just put a comforting hand on his shoulder and said, "If you need to talk I'm always here", he said trying to hold the other boys gaze, though his eyes never moved from the floor. "And I'm sure the other boys would say the same. And I understand by the way."

Blaine's eyes started to mist over and he tried to blink the tears away. He hated showing weakness. But he was tired. He was tired of trying to hold it together. He just leaned into Blue's hand that was still in his shoulder. Blue put his arm around Blaine as the tears finally spilled over and he pulled away from the arm around him and punched a nearby pillow. He then backed up to the wall and slid down it and started sobbing.

At first Blue just watched him, not sure if the other boy was angry or upset, or a combination of the two. When he thought it safe to approach, he kneeled down next to him and grabbed his hand. Blaine was holding onto it as if he was about to fall from something, so Blue wrapped his other arm around his shoulder until Blaine no longer had the strength to even sit up and he sank back into Blue. He pulled him closer, letting him know that it was okay. He realized that Blaine was still holding onto his hand with all his might and he held the boy tighter for a moment, not caring that he was cutting off the circulation in his hand.

Blaine didn't know why he had just become so weak and in front of someone he had barely known for ten minutes. He understood even less why Blue was even letting him do this, why he was comforting him, and for the moment he didn't care, he just welcomed the comfort. It was more than anyone had ever given him.

Blue just held him trying to calm him down saying "shh, you're all right, you're safe" He had been like Blaine when he first came to Dalton, but there had been no one there to comfort him, so he was trying to do what he wished someone had done for him. He was used to this happening, since most if the boys here had come here from bad home situations, though none of the boys had come to him in a while. No one trusted him enough anymore, not after what happened. Only Dan trusted him now, he was the only one that didn't blame him. He had to shake that off, Blaine was his concern for the moment. He couldn't help but wonder what it was that made Blaine feel this way. If life back in California was really that bad. It had to have been, after all he said his father had disowned him. For the moment it didn't matter. He just kept trying to comfort him, telling him he didn't have to go back there again.

Blaine finally got control of the sobbing, though he couldn't stop the tears, and sat up. The other boy looked worried, but understanding. "I'm sorry, oh my god I'm so sorry!" Blaine apologized.

"Its alright, never apologize for that. That's what I'm here for. To be a friend and your shoulder to cry on."

"It's just that-"

"No, you don't have to explain it to me now. Or ever if you don't want to."

"I want to though, but just not yet, is that okay? It's just that I've never really opened up to anyone."

Blue smiled, "Of course it is. When ever you're ready, you just come find me. No matter what time it is or where we are. I'll always be here."

That made Blaine smile, he hadn't had a friend like that in a long time, not since... He stopped and his eyes started to water again and Blue saw this and rubbed his back again. This made Blaine look up and look at him. He realized for the first time how beautiful the boy was. He was tall and skinny with light brown hair and dazzling blue eyes, that shined at him as he stared.

Blue just smiled at him as the tears dried and he got up and helped Blaine to his feet.

"You'll be okay?" he asked, concerned. Blaine just pulled him into a tight hug, which surprised the other boy, though he hugged him back, and whispered, "For now."

"When you're ready Blaine, I'll be here."

Blaine just nodded.

"Your things should be here soon, I'll let you get settled in. I'm the first door on the right if you need me." And he smiled at him once again and left.

Blaine just slid down the wall again wondering what he had just done.

Outside, Blue leaned back against the door, wondering what to do. "What should I do?" he asked the figure that appeared from down the hall, that had heard everything.

"You wait and see what happens Blue. Just don't let it go on too long like Michael did. You saw what happened."

"Yes, I did, I was there, I watched him do it." he said, now his eyes started to water.

"Dude, don't blame yourself."

"How can I not, Dan? How can I not?"

"I know you feel you have to, but it was Sebastian's fault, he pushed him to it."

"But I let it go on!" he was almost shouting now.

"Because you didn't know what he was doing." He gave Blue a sympathetic look. "But it's over now. And you have to let go."

"I know, Dan, it is over, it's over for Michael. He lost, but I will not let go until Sebastian has paid in full for what he did. For what he did to me, and for what he did to Michael. He took everything from him, literally everything. He may not be responsible in the laws eye, but he is in mine. He can run as long as he wants, but he will pay, one way or another."

Blaine got up off the floor to go look around, completely oblivious to what the boy on the other side of the door was plotting...
