~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hereitgoes:)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lazily, Kurt ran his fingers over his wooden bed frame slowly and looked out the window out of his dorm. He wandered over to the window seat and sat down retrieving his iPod from his pocket. It was almost time to go to class and Kurt was only still in there because he had decided to stay in the room during breakfast so he could admire the view with a cup of coffee. He loved the view from his room and it was always a sweet indulgence for him. Even if it meant losing time with his dark haired crush, it was still worth it. It wasn't a particularly fascinating view. No fantastic shot of the sunrise or a city skyline. Just any normal view out of any window, but the fascinating thing was that it was different. Everything was different. Ever since the day that Kurt broke the news to New Directions of his departure things had been different. He couldn't go out with Mercedes whenever he wanted and there was almost no point in competing with anybody for a solo because the Warblers were "a team." Screw that. He missed the real thrill of earning the right to stand center stage and flaunt his talent. Even if it meant he had to do a duet with himself. Being unique was what Kurt liked, but at Dalton it seemed like an army of people. All dressing the same acting the same as if they were programmed by somebody. It was too stiff and whenever he sat on the window seat with his iPod listening to his Wicked soundtrack he felt he could just let it all go. His mind would wander to random events in the past month or so and on this certain day his mind did drift to that handsome lead singer. To the day when they first met and his life started to change.

"You can wear all the feathers you want, you'll blend right in."
"Fine, you want me to spy that's what I'll do." Kurt was seething after school and finally just decides to do what they want him to do. He's going to spy on the Warblers. Kurt plops in his desk chair after throwing his bag in a huff on the floor, which he would never have done on any other circumstance but now it didn't matter to him in the slightest. He opened up Google and searched Dalton Academy. They first result was the official website and he hurriedly clicked it still trying to dissolve his pent up anger. The homepage flashed before his eyes as he found the tab that said dress code only to include a few picture of the handful of choices Dalton students had with their uniforms. He winced and clicks the one with the most plain pieces, sure he has matches of those in his closet. He rises from his seat leaving some of his anger behind him and begins rummaging through his closet filled to the brim. "Ah ha! There it is!" He mumbles as he grabs the jacket with a grin and tosses it on his bed. Now for the rest of the ensemble.
The next morning Kurt rises like any other day and does his skin care routine and prepares for school and this time putting on the makeshift Dalton uniform he created out of what he could find in his plethora of clothes. As he ascends the stairs his father gives him a wary glance realizing Kurt is not wearing his usual style of attire. Still with an eyebrow raised he waves his hand good bye as Kurt walks out the door.
He arrives at Dalton with a nervous smile on his face when he sees all of the people around the building enjoying themselves and being happy. A different environment from McKinley definitely. He starts walking up the tall spiral staircase and is almost compelled to ask somebody where the music room it but suddenly everybody starts swarming down the stairs in excitement. Trying to fit in he follows the crowd down the stair case. He peeks out over the top of his sunglasses and glances around the corridor. Despite the blonde standing right next to him he spots a very handsome dark haired boy a few stairs down and at the risk of him being a jock or some other homophobic person he says something directly to him.
"Excuse me, um hi, can I ask you a question? I'm…I'm new here." He says with a small smile while the older boy stays a few stairs below him.
"My name's Blaine." the boy says and sticks is hand out politely and even with just that small gesture Kurt begins to feel comfortable here. The younger boy glances down to Blaine's hand in surprise. With a shy smile he put his hand out nervously.
"Kurt, aaahh, so what exactly is going on?" he says glancing up the stairwell to the storm of boys passing by them.
"The Warblers." says Blaine with a big grin. "Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance in the senior commons." with a slight hesitated wink he continues. "Tends to shut the school down for a while."
You could literally see the confusion cross Kurt's face, "So, wait the glee club here is kind of cool?"
Blaine replies quickly, "The Warblers are like rockstars." Kurt's eyebrows raise in surprise as he takes in the words that just came out of the handsome boy's mouth. "Rockstars?" Kurt thinks still in confusion. "Come on, I know a shortcut." the older one says as he grabs Kurt's hand,. His jaw almost literally drops as Blaine drags him off to the back hallway. Kurt can't help but smile as he takes in the beautiful hallway, decorated fancily with chandeliers and flowers. They jog slowly down the hallway Kurt's hand still feeling the warmth of doors to the senior commons open and the first thing Kurt sees is a mass of people waiting for the Warblers to perform while a few are moving the backgammon tables from the middle of the room. Kurt takes it all in and suddenly realizes.
"Ooo, I stick out like a sore thumb."
"Next time don't forget your jacket new kid." Blaine raise his hand to fix the lapel of Kurt's jacket and when he does Kurt can't help but follow Blaine's hand to his chest and back up to his eyes.
"You'll fit right in," he says a playfully slaps him on the shoulder. Blaine hands his bag to a boy standing right beside him and turns to walk to the group of boys who have just started the harmony, "Now, if you'll excuse me." Kurt is at first confused and then realizes that the handsome boy he asked for help from just happened to be the lead singer of the Warblers.
Before you met me I was alright but things were kind of heavy
Kurt watches Blaine playfully dancing around to the beginning lines of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." A hit Kurt can't help but recognize because of the abundance of radio play time.
You brought me to life now every February you'll be my valentine, valentine
Kurt can't help but imagine that Blaine is singing to him even though they have just met. Blaine makes eye contact with Kurt and now the song has just become that much more personal.
Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love
The Warblers begin their simplistic yet adorable choreography and Kurt beings to show a wide smile as the song begins to creep into the chorus.
We can dance until we die, you and I, we'll be young forever
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
All of the Warbler's performers point into the air or blindly into the crowd on cue while Blaine makes a show of pointing directly at Kurt and maintaining eye contact before gesturing to himself also in time with the lyrics.
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
Kurt looks around amazed at all the boys enjoying the performance.
Let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love
We can dance until we die, you and I, we'll be young forever
The Warblers continue their simple dance moves with Blaine making eye contact with Kurt at just the right moments making him sigh.
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream, the way you turn me on
Blaine repeats the same motions as earlier and Kurt is still enthralled with the environment of the school, how everybody could actually like the glee club, and even be dancing around when they perform. The most energetic audience New Directions got was at sectionals.
I can't sleep let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
I can get your heart racing in my skin tight jeans be your teenage dream tonight
They all do a cute little side-step which makes Kurt just shyly look off to the side.
Yeaaaahhhh…you make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream they way you turn me on
Kurt is now grinning from ear to ear and really enjoying an actual energetic performance. This is what our glee club should make other people do, get up and dance, not just watch us do it.
Let's run away and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
Blaine continues to catch Kurt's eye just at the right moments.
My heart stops when you look at me, just one touch now baby I believe
Kurt is actually tapping his foot to the music and not just watching in awe
This is real so take a chance and don't ever look back, don't ever look back
I can get your heart racing in my skin tight jeans be your teenage dream tonight
I've never smiled this much when watching somebody else perform, normally it's just about competition and even though I'm supposed to be here spying…I'm actually having….fun…
Let me put your hands on me in my skin tight jeans be your teenage dream tonight
Kurt claps his hands furiously as everybody crowds around the glee club rockstars and claps for them. Blaine spots Kurt in the crowd and begins to walk over to him.
You can be my teenage dream any day….

"Kurt! Kurt!" Blaine says snapping his hand in front of Kurt's face. He sits down across from Kurt on the window seat, "Anybody in there?" He raised his eyebrows in that adorable way that made Kurt smile. Kurt looks at him remembering the day they met and can't help but put his hand on Blaine's shoulder to make sure he is actually there and just they stay still with both of them looking into each other's eyes smiling. "You okay Kurt?" Blaine says chuckling.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine just…daydreaming," Kurt said at little too loudly with his headphones still in his ears. He realizes this and takes them out wrapping them up and shoving them along with his iPod into his jacket pocket. "Let's go to class." Kurt says turning to walk out the door. Blaine remained on the window seat pondering the recent encounter with his small brunette crush. Kurt was the most focused person he knew and he was….daydreaming? He touched his arm where Kurt had rested his hand and realized how good it made him feel with Kurt so close to him. With Kurt just looking at him that way. Suddenly Kurt was standing on front of him and looking down at him with that cute smile. "Do I need to snap you out of daydreaming now?" He said with his hands on his small hips. "Come on, let's go." He grabs Blaine's hand and pulls him form the window seat. "Wouldn't want to miss out on an admirable speech about the Civil War in history again would you?" Kurt said sarcastically.
"Not for my life." Blaine said with a genuine smile as Kurt dropped his hand and they walked side by side down the halls of Dalton Academy.
