Chapter 2

Kurt sat together with Mercedes, Tina, Artie and Rachel at „their" table in the cafeteria. Rachel and Tina were talking about Mike and Finn who were at football practice. Mercedes and Artie discussed something but Kurt didn't really listen. He was looking for Blaine. He hadn't seen him since they crashed together and he was dying to see him again. He didn't know this feeling, it was strange. It wasn't like when he had a crush on Finn, it was different... deeper.

He just couldn't forget that beautiful boy with the skinny legs. He wondered why Blaine had to use those crutches. Had he been in an accident? Or was he born with some kind of birth defect? Kurt tried to imagine how it would feel like to walk on those unsteady legs. He couldn't imagine that Blaine could walk very long on them... When he stood up he had that pained expression on his face, like it was hurting him to get up.

Kurt felt sorry for him but he didn't want to show him any pity. Blaine seemed to be an openly nice guy who was friendly and... handsome. But there was no way that he was gay...

„Kurt? Kurt!"

„Hmmm?"

„What do you think?"

„What do I think of what?"

„Did you even listen? Who is the better singer, Madonna or Mariah Carrey."?

„What kind of a question is that and since when do you guys talk about stuff like that?"

„If you would have listened then you would know. Now say it, who's better?"

Before Kurt could answer Artie's question a dark haired boy came into the cafeteria, obviously looking for someone.

Kurt's heart beat in his throat and he felt the butterflies flying again. He lifted his hand and winked to Blaine so he could see where he had to go.

Blaine's eyes found Kurt and a huge smile appeared on his face.

Rachel and Tina stopped their talk and wanted to know what was going on.

„Why are you so nervous Kurt?"

„Hmm? Nervous? Me? No never, why should I?"

„You look totally excited like that time when we went to that fashion show a few months ago."

„It's nothing."

Rachel followed his gaze.

„It doesn't have anything to do with a guy on crutches and a cute face that's coming to our table right now?"

„What? No, Rachel you're stupid."

„I am not stupid. I have good grades and an awesome voice and I have the best chances for being accepted at the biggest colleges in the country. So if you..."

Tina rolled her eyes. „Rachel he didn't mean that. Calm down."

Rachel sighed and decided to stay silent.

Finally Blaine reached the table. He could feel all those eyes of the cafeteria on him but he only concentrated on reaching Kurt as soon as possible. There were four other people at the table. One black girl, a Chinese girl, a boy in a wheelchair and a girl with a terrible taste in fashion. And they were all staring at him. Awesome. And of course there was Kurt. Just as awesome as before.

„Hey Blaine. Glad you made it."

„Hey Kurt."

„Come on take a seat. Guys this is Blaine. It's his first day at McKinley. Blaine, these are Mercedes, Tina, Artie and Rachel."

„Hey guys." Blaine smiled at them and they all smiled back.

He suddenly didn't feel nervous at all, Kurt was just awesome and his friends seemed to be different than those jerks he met in class before.

Kurt stood up.

„I wanted to wait with eating for you. Shall I bring you something to eat as well?"

„Oh no, I mean... you don't have to, I can get it..."

„No way. I made you fall this morning so it is my turn to stand for you in the queue over there. I'll be right back."

Blaine smiled after him until Rachel asked him something.

„Okay Blaine. Where have you been before you came to McKinley?"

„Oh, I was at Dalton Academy. It's a pretty expensive school and my grandparents didn't want to pay the money anymore. So my mother send me to McKinley."

„Dalton? Isn't there a Glee club as well? I think we have to compete against them at sectionals."

„Yes, the Glee club is awesome there. You should be careful, they can beat you."

„Oh no. Look Blaine, you are new so I forgive you. But I am Rachel Berry and Rachel Berry doesn't lose. I am the best singer in the whole school and I am going to be a Broadway star one day. A small Glee club full of boys in uniforms cannot beat me. And I don't like people who are talking about stuff they don't understand."

Blaine smiled and raised his eyebrows.

Artie looked at him. „Don't listen to her. She's always like that. You're gonna get used to that."

„Okay Rachel. I think I know very well what I am talking about. I was a Warbler. That's how the Glee club is called there. And if I weren't sitting here right now I would be one of those guys with uniforms standing on the stage. Believe me, the Warblers are very good."

„You can sing?"

„Yes I can. At least I think so and the Warblers as well otherwise they wouldn't have given me the solo for sectionals."

„A solo...?"

Rachel's mouth was open and it seemed like she didn't know what to say. Mercedes leaned over to Blaine.

„Congratulations white guy. You made her speechless, that's a very rare state."

Tina and Artie laughed and in that moment Kurt came back with a lot of food.

„Hey I am sorry but I didn't know what you like so I kinda get something from everything. I don't touch that greasy stuff normally but I wanted to make an exception for the case that you like that."
„It's perfectly fine Kurt. I am happy with a salad as well and again you don't have to apologize."

„I said that I wouldn't promise anything. So what were you guys laughing about?"

„Blaine just said that he was supposed to sing a solo for the Warblers at sectionals."

„What? You ... you can sing?"

„Yes but why is everybody so surprised? I mean just because I cannot walk that well doesn't mean that I can't sing."

He didn't seem to be angry; he was just curious why everyone was so surprised.

Kurt was the first to say something.

„No! No it isn't because of that! I am sorry! We... we don't think like that. Look at Artie, he cannot walk at all and he is with us in Glee club so there's no problem about that! And I..."

„Kurt."

„.. don't want you to think that..."

„Kurt! I am not angry or something like that. I am perfectly fine with the way I am, okay? And please, please stop apologizing."

Kurt's face went red.

„I'm sor... I won't say anything."

Blaine laughed and the tension over the table was gone.

„Okay Blaine Warbler."

They all turned to Rachel.

„As the best member of our Glee club I invite you to Glee today. If you want to you can sing something so we can have an idea how good at singing you really are."

Blaine looked to Kurt whose eyes were shining.

„Okay. I'm coming."

Kurt clapped his hands.
„That's awesome!"

They talked about some unimportant stuff until Mercedes, Tina, Artie and Rachel went away so Kurt and Blaine were alone.

They were talking about fashion when suddenly one of those football jerks came over a threw a slushie over Blaine.

Blaine sat there in shock of the cold ice and Kurt stood up to help him.

„Oh I am sorry Blaine. They do that every time with us. Come on, I have a towel and clothes to change in my locker. We're going to the bathroom."

Kurt took Blaine's things so Blaine could concentrate on walking. When they reached the bathroom Blaine was shivering. He hadn't said a single word.

Kurt took a chair from the corner and put it in front of the basin. „Sit down. I'll just get the towel and the clothes."

He went to his locker, his thoughts running around his head.

He was worried because Blaine hadn't said a single word since that gorilla hit him with the Slushie. What if Blaine noticed now that hanging out with Kurt and the others would only make him uncool? He was so happy with Blaine although he only met him a few hours ago he didn't want to loose him right away. He took out his emergency pack from his locker and ran back to the bathroom.

Blaine was still sitting on the chair; his crutches were lying on the ground.

„Okay now I'm going to clean your hair first. Here put this on." He handed him his second shirt so Blaine could get out of his wet one.

Blaine took the towel and changed shirts.

Kurt couldn't stop but staring at Blaine's upper body. He was thin, but not super thin, there were muscles but not too many muscles. It was perfect.

When Blaine was ready he put his head over the basin so Kurt could wash his hair.

„I am sorry that this happened to you. They are total jerks; they think just because they have their football jackets they are cool. lt happens at least one time a week. Normally they just do it with the Glee guys but I think that they saw you with us so you got it this time. And I can totally understand if you don't want to come to Glee with us or hang out with us…you just have to tell me so I can..."

Blaine started to shake and Kurt was shocked. Was Blaine crying?

„Blaine, Blaine what's happening? Are you... are you crying?"

Then Blaine turned around, his hair was wet and curly without the hair gel. He laughed.

Kurt was totally irritated.

„Kurt, how many times do I have to tell you that you don't need to apologize for things you didn't do? It wasn't your fault, wasn't it? So stop this, okay? I am fine. And well this was my first Slushie but I've been bullied before so I know stuff like that. You don't have to worry. I love singing and performing as best as I can and I don't want to miss Glee club. And I don't want to stand away from you."

Kurt looked him into the eyes and there was this feeling again. This feeling from being in an old black and white movie where the hero kissed the princess.

Kurt didn't know what to say so he just smiled at Blaine and continued to wash his hair.

„So you have been bullied before? At Dalton?"

„No Dalton has a zero tolerance for bullying. It was great there. Everybody accepted everyone and we were like a big team, you know? We were all wearing the same clothes and we were all treated the same. It was at my old school where I got bullied."

„What did they do?"

„Well just the usual stuff. They took my things away, called me stupid names, threw things at me, stole my crutches and left me on the floor... Their favorite game was „How far can that disabled kid run". They drove the car and I was right in front of them. If I wasn't fast enough, which was every time, they hit me so I fell down on the street."

Kurt gasped. He couldn't imagine that somebody could be so cruel to this nice guy.

„One day I came back late from choir practice. They waited for me and took away my crutches. They carried me to a small street where no one was and they... they undressed my and stabbed the word „fag"into my leg. Then they started to beat me and I couldn't do anything about it. I was in hospital for three weeks and then my mother decided to take me to Dalton. And that was the best decision she ever made."

Kurt was shocked. Not about those horrible things those guys did to him but it was one single word that shocked him.

„They... they stabbed „fag" into your leg?"

„Hmmm. You can still se it."

„Why did they do that?"

„Well they were at the opinion that people like me should be marked so that everybody could see it. I am happy that they did it on my leg and not somewhere where everyone can see it."

„People- people like you?"

„Yeah. Gay people."

Kurt stopped washing Blaine's hair. Blaine turned around to see what was happening and was surprised to see that Kurt had tears in his eyes.

He took Kurt hands into his. „Hey Kurt. What's going on here? Do you... do you have a problem with me being gay?"

Suddenly Kurt laughed.

„No. Not at all."

„So what is it? Please tell me. Did I do something wrong?"

„I am gay too. And it's just that I wanted to hide for so long who I am that I nearly lost myself and now you arrive and you're turning my life upside down. I mean I just know you for a few hours and I have never been really in love so I don't know what this feeling means but I think that I'm in love with you Blaine Anderson."

Blaine remained silent and looked into Kurt's eyes. There were so many feelings in them. He took Kurt's hand and put it towards him so Kurt had to bend down. When he was at Blaine's height their faces met and they kissed. "This is it. This is the moment I've been waiting for my whole life." Kurt thought. The kiss was over way too soon but they both knew that the school bathroom wasn't exactly the best place for two gays to make out.

Kurt was breathless; he still couldn't really believe that the kiss actually happened.

"That was an amazing first kiss. Although I didn't expect it to be in a bathroom."

Blaine laughed and took Kurt's hand.

"You are amazing Kurt. You're beautiful and I am so happy that you ran into me this morning. It was the best thing that could ever happen to me."

Kurt smiled.

"Come on, let's finish cleaning you up and then we go to Glee practice, okay? And maybe… after that we could… you could come to my place? I mean only if you want to, you don't have to of course. It's perfectly fine if you don't…" Blaine put one of his fingers at Kurt's mouth. "Shhht. I would love to go to your place Kurt. You don't have to be so shy and doubtful, okay? I want you to know that you can be yourself when you're around me. I like you just the way your are, you hear me?"

Kurt shook his head.

"I… I just cannot believe that something like this is happening to me. I don't know… I don't want to mess this up, whatever this is."

Blaine smiled at him.

"Me neither. And maybe we should take it slow, for both of us. We're not doing anything that one of us doesn't want to do, okay? Let's just get to know each other a little bit better and hang around and figure out what's really going on between us, alright?"

"I am so happy that I've met you."

Blaine leaned forward and gave Kurt a small kiss on his nose.

"Me too."

Please leave a review for me :) That would make my day.
