Chapter 2
At lunch time Kurt's new roommate still hasn't showed up yet and Kurt was slightly hoping that maybe this means that his roommate had changed his plans to go to Dalton at all. The boys were sitting at their own table and Thad and Trent had brought Hunter Clarington with them, 'cause the housemaster had told them to give him a tour. They were eating mainly in silence since noone really knew what topic they should bring up with the newbie at their table. The freshmen were sitting at the larger tables and trying to make friendships.
Blaine watched the freshmen who he knew would get a tour of the school and dormitory including an introduction to the school and dormitory rules in the afternoon before dinner. He turned to Kurt and decided it was time to break that awkward silence that had enrolled on the table since the moment Thad and Trent had arrived with this Hunter guy. He normally was a very social guy but he didn't know how to react to Hunter after what they've heard in the morning from his roommates. "So are you up for the gymnastics class this year again?" Blaine asked Kurt. Kurt had joined the gymnastics class last year, 'cause Dalton had no cheerleading team as it was a boys-only school. Kurt was okay with the gymnastics class, he was actually really good in his floor gymnastics performances and their teacher had already told Kurt that he might want him to be part of this years competition team for the high school championships.
"Yeah, most likely. I mean Mr. Walker had offered me a position in the competition team, though this would probably mean I've to cut the Warblers short. So I don't know if I really want to be in the team." Kurt answered while digging his fork into his noodles. Hunter looked up from his food. "So what sports classes does Dalton offer? The principal hasn't told me about the sports programm, only about the Warblers." he brought himself into the conversation and Blaine instantly thanked himself for finding a topic that broke the silence and that didn't lead to any awkward situations with the only straight guy at the table. Blaine smiled, before he answered Hunter "Well, as you just may have registered we have a gymnastics team, but we also have a football team, a lacrosse team and a swim team. Maybe you wanna join a team – tryouts are this Sunday afternoon." Blaine himself was on the football team together with Nick, while Jeff was playing Lacrosse. Thad was in the gymnastics class like Kurt. Trent hasn't showed any interest in participating in any of the sports classes so far and Kurt was sure this wouldn't change this year.
"Yeah maybe I try out for the football team." Hunter announced before the conversation died down again. They finished lunch and Hunter excused himself before disappearing. The other six decided to hang out in the coffeeshop, that was just on the other side of the campus. Kurt had checked if his roommate had showed up yet, but no signs of his soon-to-be roommate where to be found anywhere. Sitting with cups of steaming coffee they talked about that it might be a good idea if Kurt would candidate as a council member for the Warblers so that Hunter doesn't get the chance to realize the plan of only one captain of the Warblers. Kurt wasn't so fond of this idea, but he didn't turn the offer down immediately. He would think about it later.
The conversation somehow suddenly changed to his soon-to-be roommate. "I hope he's gay too." Jeff suddenly throw into the conversation. "What?" Kurt stared with wide eyes at Jeff. "Don't look like I've just grown tentacles. I mean it would be very awkward if you get a straight guy into your room and also maybe he's your Mr. Right" Jeff explained his thoughts. Blaine couldn't hide a smile at these words. Ever since he had cleared his only-friendship feelings with Kurt, Kurt had avoided falling for someone again. Blaine couldn't blame him, but somehow Kurt was shutting himself out of the whole high school love thing with this. And wasn't High school to just crush on people, to try out how love works, to get first experiences in your own sex life, to just have a good time? Kurt had to admit, that it would really be very awkward if he'd get a straight guy as a roommate. He wouldn't even know how to handle such a situation. But Mr. Right? Jeff seemed to have too much coffee or anything like that. Kurt would never fall for his roommate, it doesn't matter if straight or gay – that was something that won't happen, that he won't let happen. Such things would only led to awkward situations if it didn't work out.
"What I just want to say is, it's time to get your cherry popped. You're the oldest here and I know your public school bullying hasn't helped you being confident about yourself and being gay and getting a guy and such things, but I really think it's time to join the club." Jeff grinned now and Kurt let his head meat the table. Kurt avoided this topic as if it's hot water which could burn your skin. He knows everyone around him wasn't a virgin like him, even Blaine had already got laid – though it was not until this summer. Kurt could still remember the Mail he got from Blaine, when the other boy was in California telling him that he had met such a cute guy and well, he was glad that Blaine had spared him the exact details of that night. He never thought Blaine would be a guy for one-night-stands, but obviously he was wrong on this topic.
"Come on, you don't want to graduate from Dalton still being a virgin?" Blaine asked Kurt now, who still had buried his head in his arms on the table, to not show how much he had blushed when Jeff mentioned his virginity. Kurt looked up, to meet Blaine with a slightly angry expression. "Oh please a bit louder, I think the table on the other end of the coffeeshop hasn't heard it by now." he hissed. Blaine patted Kurt's shoulder, before trying to calm Kurt down again. "Okay we stop teasing you about this topic, but you've to admit that the thought of sharing your room with a hot guy has something in it?" Everyone was now looking with reassuring smiles to Kurt, before Nick continued what Blaine wanted to say. "What Blaine means is, that you for sure gonna see that other guy only in shorts more often than you'd probably like and well if he's hot and gay then some things just happen. Look at Jeff and myself" Nick and Jeff grinned at each other and the whole table, including Kurt broke into laughter. It was common knowledge that exactly that's how Nick and Jeff ended up being a couple. Nick saw Jeff to often in only his shorts and gladly Blaine never had showed interest in one of them since he already had his crush on that GAP-store guy.
Kurt was smiling again and glad this topic was now dying down. Somehow the words of the others had made him very nervous about his soon-to-be roommate. He hadn't thought about this in that way. He hadn't thought about the possibility that he would see the other guy probably on a daily basis in only his shorts. What if this guy was like Jeff only sleeping in his shorts and maybe even good looking? Well, then Kurt would be obviously screwed. But he still hoped that his roommate was just someone really not pretty, maybe even really just a fat straight guy.
They spent their whole afternoon at the coffeeshop before heading straight to dinner. Gladly Hunter was sitting with another guy and hadn't joined their table like at lunch time. Their conversation was now mainly over the new timetable for the new school year that came out in the afternoon and that they grabbed just before dinner. Kurt was studying his timetable before glancing over to Blaine's. The other five had the same timetable since they all were juniors. He was the only senior and well he remembered Hunter was also senior, but Kurt was sure that the other guy would not join them all to often. Kurt glanced over to the table were Hunter was sitting with a guy he never had seen before, obviously also a newcomer to this school but he definitely didn't look like a freshman. They both seemed to talk about their timetables too, since Hunter was gesturing to the paper that was lying on the table infront of them.
Kurt found himself wondering if the other guy on Hunter's table was straight or gay. He was handsome, tall as it seemed, brown hair slightly styled with some gel. Blaine followed Kurt's gaze and poked Kurt slightly with his elbow. "Don't stare at that guy over there like that or he might notice it." Blaine told Kurt in a low voice and flashed a big grin. Kurt swallowed, before asking Blaine with a hushed voice "Was it that obvious?" Blaine shook his head, it seemed the others of the table hadn't even noticed anything. Kurt sighed relieved. "I was just wondering if this guy was straight or gay. I mean he is sitting with Hunter, so obviously more the first thing. But you must admit he's good looking." Kurt tried to explain his staring. Blaine flashed a grin, it was long ago that Kurt had called someone good looking. "I'm sure we're going to find out soon." Blaine answered and both turned their attention back to their food.
When Kurt brought his tray back to the counter where they got back in the kitchen to get cleaned he noted that Hunter and the other guy had left earlier as they were nowhere to be seen. Before parting when they reached their floor level, Blaine asked Kurt if he wants to join them for a small movie night 'cause he had bought the new "Captain America – The First Avenger" on DVD this summer. Kurt wasn't normally too much into the Superhero stuff, but he knew that Blaine was totally into it and maybe this evening would distract him also from thinking too much about his soon-to-be roommate, which he hoped hadn't shown up in the afternoon when he wasn't there. "Yeah, sure I'm gonna join you. Give me just some couple of minutes I wanted to write a mail to my dad since I haven't done that yesterday and he's always very eager in the first days to hear how I settle into the new school year." Kurt answered to Blaine.
When he came back to his room and sticked his card into the lock, the first thing he noticed was that the door wasn't locked. Since he had his card with him, this could only meant one thing – his roommate had arrived, 'cause the door only stayed unlocked if someone had their card put into the power safer that was inside the room next to the door. He opened the door and prepared himself for the worst – remember a big fat straight guy or was this the best option?
Hoovering over a suitcase on the other bed was exactly the handsome guy he had seen with Hunter earlier. Kurt couldn't help himself but held his breath for a short moment. The other one looked up from where he was just taking shirts out of his suitcase to put them into the closet. Kurt could feel the green eyes – when had he stared at the other guy so intensive that he knew his eyecolour? - rooming over him. A smirk appeared on the handsome face and exactly after that Kurt would've wished that the other guy would've never opened his mouth. "Well, obviously my hopes for a hot roommate just got crashed by a serious case of a gayface. You sure you hadn't mixed the roomnumber?"
Kurt was first baffled over that arrogant tone the other had, but he caught himself very easy. "No I didn't mix the roomnumbers, I've this room already the second year. Maybe you got something mixed up." he shot back, before he closed the door and went straight to his desk. He could feel the eyes of the other one following him, before he could hear the other huffing. "Okay princess, it seems we have to stick with each other. So just some rules – don't touch my stuff and I won't touch yours." Kurt turned around with his desk chair and glared at the other. "I had no intention to touch your stuff." he hissed. He only knew that guy for about 3 minutes and he was already annoying him. Kurt decided he will write the mail for his father later, he needed to get to Blaine's room as soon as possible to vent off.
He nearly bolted out of his chair and headed for the door, grabbing his key card. Just before he was out of the door he turned around. "Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Kurt Hummel." he faked a smile. The other guy had just put his shirts into the closet looking at Kurt and his faked smile and got that smirk back on his face like earlier "Well, seems like I've forgotten my manners too. Sebastian Smythe." he said in a sweet tone, that made Kurt's hackles raising. Sebastian also took a few steps and offered Kurt his hand. Kurt's left eyebrow went up a bit at the gesture, but he decided maybe it was better if they tried to get along well as possible. They shook hands just for a second, 'cause immediately when Kurt's hand had touched Sebastian's it was like small electro shocks were erupting from Sebastian's hand.
Kurt left immediately afterwards, heading straight into the other's room. Nick had opened the door and somehow Kurt's face must have spoken volumes, 'cause Nick immediately asked what was wrong. Kurt fell backwards onto Blaine's bed with a groan. "I've the worst roommate you can ever get." he sighed. Blaine, who was just coming from the bathroom, was shooting a concerning look to Kurt like Nick and Jeff who both had sat down on Jeff's bed. "Why?" Blaine asked confused.
"You remember the guy at dinner, that I looked at?" Kurt asked. Blaine nodded his head as answer, while Nick and Jeff looked confused. "He's handsome, really everything a guy could dream of, but he's the biggest asshole and arrogant prig that I've ever met." Kurt explained. Blaine's eyes were nearly bobbing out of his head. Nick and Jeff still looked confused trying to ask Blaine with just their face expressions about whom Kurt was talking. But Blaine shook his head in answer to them. "That means?" he asked slowly to Kurt. "That means that I don't have a clue how to get along with him for the rest of the year. I mean he open's his mouth and all that comes out is shit and all I want to do is just to make him shut up with a kiss." immediately after Kurt had said that he clasped his hands over his mouth and turned himself onto his belly, hiding his blushing face under Blaine's pillow. The other three needed a minute to let sink in what Kurt had just said, before all three of them broke into laughter.
"Well I must say I'd say it's a progress." Jeff started to tease Kurt. Blaine set beside Kurt, running a soothing hand over Kurt's back. "Well, do you already know if he's gay?" Blaine remembered their conversation at the dinner earlier. "He definitely must be gay, 'cause he said he was hoping for a hot guy as a roommate." Kurt mumbled into the pillow. Blaine's eyebrows went up, before he find himself saying "But you're hot." Kurt came out from under the pillow. "What?" he asked. "I mean you're a hot guy, not really the type I'm looking for as I'd told you already long ago, but you're hot – especially in those thight jeans." Blaine admitted with a slight blush and earned affirmative nods from Nick and Jeff.
"He must be blind if he doesn't see that you look hot." Jeff agreed with Blaine. Kurt sighed "That's sweet of you guys trying to cheer me up, but he also said he wasn't looking for a serious case of gayface. I mean I can't help the way I look, I can't change the fact that I've a really feminine touch, but getting it stated like that from another guy just hurts." Now it was the other three's turn to sigh. "You're definitely no serious case of a gayface, Kurt. Yes you have a feminine touch, but exactly that makes you so special and adorable." Nick said and tried to get Kurt's mood a bit up. Kurt was smiling now and they decided to stop talking about the arrogant prig of a roommate that would await Kurt when he was back in his room. Instead of the talking the plunged themselves onto Jeff's bed and watched Blaine's superhero movie on Blaine's Laptop. After the movie was over Kurt stayed a little bit longer talking about their plans for Saturday, before he finally returned to his room around midnight to get some sleep.
