Blaine gaped at the cheerleader, coming to a slow realisation.
"So you're-"
"Kurt Hummel, co-captain of the Cheerios. Most popular boy in the school. Yes, that's me."
Kurt rolled his eyes at the new boy who still looked like he was in a state of shock.
"Finn's brother?"
"Well duh. Finn told me that you seemed smart."
"And you're gay?"
"Do you like what you see? Sorry newbie but I have a strict no dating losers policy. Or no dating at all, come to think of it."
A hurt expression came over Blaine's face as he said, "I'm not a loser."
"Oh please," Kurt snapped, scowling at Blaine, "your whole persona screams virgin."
Kurt, for his part, couldn't take his eyes off Blaine. There was something about him. He was so cute, with his unruly curls and his big trusting eyes. He looked like a lost puppy. Last year Kurt would have totally gone for him. But that was before. And this was now. And Kurt was a changed person now. He wasn't searching for love. All he wanted was a quick fuck or an awesome blow job to satisfy his urges. And boys were queuing up to give him just that. Kurt was surprised at the number of closet cases at the school. They would phone him, go on a cheap date and then Kurt would allow them to fuck him senseless against some jock's bedroom or be entangled in a sweaty mess between itchy hotel sheets. And then that was that. He would never hear from them again.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Blaine asked and Kurt had to force himself not to be touched by the innocence in Blaine's voice.
"What makes you think I'd be staring at you?" said Kurt, sassily, putting on hand on his hip and giving the boy his best bitch face.
"Because you think I'm hot."
Blaine seemed shocked at what he had just said and Kurt was even more so. Nobody talked back to Kurt Hummel. For a moment, he didn't know what to say and then his inner-bitch was back again.
"Don't be ridiculous. Nerd is not my type. You're probably a sad loser who stays holed up in his room all day doing maths and studying while some of us are out having a social life, going to parties and having friends. I bet you watch Star Trek or something all alone in your room that looks like a 40-year-old man's office. I'm going to walk away now. The only reason why I came over was to tell you to not stink up my clothes with your foul stench and to return them to me in perfect condition. But not to me personally. Being seen with you would be like social suicide. Give them to Finn or something."
And with that Kurt Hummel flounced off, his heart pounding, feeling unsettles by the cute, curly-haired new boy.
Blaine, for his part, couldn't help a wide grin spreading. Kurt was sassy and sexy and amazing. He was so turned on by the boy's little diva fit that he could feel himself half hard in Kurt's tight red pants. Not wanting to ruin them, especially after the boy's threat, Blaine decided that the best thing to do would be to pay a quick visit to the boy's toilet.
When Kurt finally walked into English ten minutes later, the teacher hardly batted an eyelid. Kurt Hummel was always late nowadays. Kurt dropped down onto his chair next to Santana, his best friend.
"Hey Hummel. Nice of you to show. So who was it this time?"
"Huh?"
"Well you're always late for a reason. Wanky."
Santana wiggled her eyebrows at him and laughed.
"So who fucked you this time?"
"No one! I was just talking to Blaine."
"Hold up. Who's Blaine?"
"The new guy."
Santana rolled her eyes.
"That little hobbit nerd who got slushied in the hall earlier? Please. You can do so much better than that!"
"He's not that bad. Besides he's friends with my brother."
"...who is a dumb as a nail and looks like he is made of jelly. One poke at that flab and he'll pop."
"Santana!" Kurt reprimanded, slapping her on the arm, "he's my brother."
"Whatever," Santana shrugged, "but just to warn you, if you do get it on with him, we are no longer friends."
"Oh San, we were just talking. I know he's a dweeb. I'm not going to do anything with him."
"Good."
With that, the two cheerleaders went back to their work, passing each other notes and giggling every so often.
The bell rang and Blaine made his way to the choir room to meet the glee club for the first time and to talk to Finn about Kurt. When he entered the room, Finn hurried up to him, a huge grin on his face.
"Hey man! You made it!"
"Hey," Blaine replied, "Finn...your brother...Kurt. You didn't tell me he was-"
"A cheerio. One of the most popular boys in the school?"
"Well, yeah."
"Yeah...it's hard to think of him as popular cheerio Kurt considering last year and all that went down."
"Last year?"
Blaine was intrigued.
Finn looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something that he knew he should not be saying.
"Well let's just say that Kurt was very different last year. He was one of us, you know? And then shit went down with Karofsky and Kurt hasn't been the same since. He reinvented himself. If you ask me though, it's all a lie. At home he's just normal Kurt but at school...he's kind of..."
"A jerk?"
"Mhm."
A hot jerk, Blaine would have liked to have said but Finn was Kurt's brother and that was just weird. There were so many questions that he wanted to ask Finn. Who was Karofsky? And what went down last year? And how did Kurt used to be? But he didn't want to seem too keen and overly interested in Kurt.
Mr Schuester, the glee club leader, entered the room, carrying a huge pile of music sheets and books.
"Hey guys. So first off, welcome back after the holidays and I hope you all had fantastic summer vacations. This year I hope that we can use all of our talent and work together effectively as a team to win Nationals. I believe we have a new transfer, Blaine Anderson, wanting to join glee club. He comes from the Warblers, if you can remember Sectionals last year, they were the ones that sang Hey Soul Sister."
There were several hums and nods of approval.
"SPY!" shouted a small girl, wearing a hideous blue and yellow spotted dress.
"Rachel, this is not a spy."
"That's what he's trying to make you believe, but you see, I would know...after Jesse..."
"Girl, will you just shut up," interjected a sassy girl, "we've heard it all before."
"Oh you know nothing," the ugly dress girl spat venomously, "you-"
"Alright guys. That's enough," said Mr Schuester, clapping his hands, "Now can we all listen to Blaine. Blaine, if you will."
Blaine stood in front of them all and rubbed his hands together, nervously. He cleared his throat.
"Hi I'm Blaine Anderson. I'm not a spy. I love Disney musicals, Harry Potter and reading. I'm going to sing I Can Go The Distance, a song from my favourite Disney movie, Hercules."
Blaine swallowed, nervous, as the introductory piano music began to play, casting a fantastically magical atmosphere in the room.
I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
And the crowds will cheer
As they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
Blaine swallowed again and looked up. The group was silent, looking at him in wonder.
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To feel like I belong
Violins from the band kicked in as the instrumental took over and Blaine felt a wave of emotion come over him. He just wanted to prove himself, to be good enough, to be loved. And he certainly would be willing to go the distance. He felt deeply to the song and it was with a deep breath that he sang the final chorus.
I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I will go most anywhere
To find where I belong
The last note sounded out and Blaine breathed out, elated.
Immediately the entire club was on its feet clapping and cheering and the girl who had accused him of being a spy earlier flung herself at him, giving him a huge hug and chanting "new duet partner, new duet partner, new duet partner."
Mr Schuester clapped his hands and exclaimed, "well Blaine, I think I can safely say on the behalf of the New Directions, welcome!"
And it was the most cheerful welcome he had had all day.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed dear readers :) And if you have never seen Hercules or heard the song "I Can Go The Distance", go and watch it/listen to it immediately. It's brilliant!
Up next: There is a bit of graphic detail and we kind of discover what happened to Kurt last year.
Please review or drop me suggestions on how I should take this story forward. I would love to hear your opinions and ideas. Also if someone could tell me how to do a line break that would be much appreciated :)
