First Encounter:

Blaine's Side

Blaine remembered the first time he saw Kurt Hummel. He had been rushing down the stairs, eager to get to the Warbler's performance when an angelic voice posed a hesitant question, "Oh, excuse me? Um, hi, can I ask you a question? I'm new here," Blaine looked up into the face of a beautiful, lithe teen with a complexion of porcelain and glasz eyes that glinted brightly. Blaine answered the stranger's query smiling up at that beautiful face—there was something about this kid that made Blaine immensely curious. His eyes sparked with intelligence and mirth, but his face was a protective mask. It was like he was afraid to reveal emotions that would make him appear weak. Blaine felt the need to be near this boy—Kurt was what he had said his name was—and instinctively Blaine reached to grab Kurt's hand. Blaine's heart clenched uncomfortably at the look of shock on the boy's face—was Blaine pushing his boundaries too far? Could Kurt potentially be homophobic and disliked being touched by another boy in such a non-platonic way? Blaine had assumed Kurt was gay from the way his eyes pierced through Blaine with such intensity, but he had been wrong about that in the past. However, when Kurt's façade cracked a little revealing a tiny smile and his fingers tightened around Blaine's ever so slightly, he considered another possibility—was Kurt so unaccustomed to genuine affection? The thought broke Blaine's heart. Something wasn't right here and Blaine would do what ever it took to make it okay.

Blaine sang to the boy during Teenage Dream. He hadn't meant to, it just kind of...happened. He had looked so scared and overwhelmed that Blaine's protective side came out. He also touched him again, adjusting his lapel, even though nothing was wrong with it. Why can't I keep my hands off this guy? Blaine normally was very good at containing himself. Although he did prefer to be a touchy, intimate person, that wasn't how one acted at Dalton, so Blaine had adjusted. Blaine didn't know what it was about Kurt that shook him so much, but he had awoken something in Blaine that he had spent a long time repressing. He knew Wes was going to be pissed with him later. He would no doubt go on about how the Warblers were about making a performance homogeneous, charming everyone in the audience and not singling one person out. But it was worth being reprimanded when he saw Kurt's mask finally break and his face light up with a smile so big that Blaine was sure he didn't smile like that very often. Blaine's heart was filled with a peculiar sensation for it craved to soar in jubilation for making Kurt smile, but all he felt was it breaking even more. What hell has this kid been through?

Gah, guys I'm sorry this chapter is so short, I'm just trying to express the character's inner feelings, so it doesn't always allow for a lot because I'm going for a specific feeling or reaction. Also, this isn't super angsty yet, but it's Kurt's thoughts that are really dark, not Blaine's as much (yet!)

So in case you guys are wondering, this story will show an event then have Blaine's reaction/feeling, then Kurt's (or vice versa). Ex: The next chapter is "First Encounter: Kurt's Side"
