"Who's that?" Trent asked softly, sliding onto the Warbler's go to table and looking up at the new boy in excitement.

Following Trent's line of sight the table looked up and all took in one sharp breath in synchronicity.
"He's beautiful" Wes and David breathed, getting a raised eyebrow off Trent, "What? We may be straight but we can acknowledge beauty…and blatantly so can Blainers here"

Blaine skid his gaze away from the new boy and frowned lightly at Wes and David, blushing. He couldn't help but look though.

The new boy was breathtaking. He was quite tall - though not as tall as the boy standing next to him - and had flawless skin, perfectly coiffed hair and distinctive features. Even with his school uniform on, and it being a little baggy on him, you could still sense the grace all over him. He looked serene and, Blaine noticed, sad.

His dad said something to him and the boy rolled his eyes slightly and nodded. The dad dived in and gave him a rib crushing hug and then left with the receptionist - to sign some papers, most probably.

Blaine took his chance, put on his most charming smile and leaped up to welcome the boy, most other boys eager to follow but Blaine moving quickly before the others remembered how to move their legs. This boy was probably dating the guy that he was talking to, or straight, but seriously Blaine wanted to at least make a impression. At least to hear this guys voice.

He straightened his tie and tapped the boy on the back of the shoulder.

Suddenly, the boy jumped about ten feet in the air and turned around wide eyed to be face to face to Blaine, tears threatening to spill over and then his eyes turned stony and he glared at Blaine,

"Y-you can't do anything, this is a z-zero tolerance s-school!" The boy rushed out with impossibly guarded eyes, "s-so j-just-"

The taller boy behind him sighed and put his hands on the beautiful boy's shoulders, ignoring Blaine who was still frozen in shock. He mumbled something about going upstairs to put his stuff in his room and the shorter boy nodded in reply and stumbled off.

There was an awkward silence as the taller boy ran a hand down his face and then stuck it out to Blaine in a handshake. Blaine looked at it confused before shaking it back,

"I'm Finn. Look I am really sorry about Kurt. He's not normally like that, honest! He's like really kind and nice, but he's been through some stuff and that's why he's here and-"

"It's fine, don't worry. Just shocked me that's all."

Finn seemed deep in thought, looking Blaine up and down before he sighed and took a step closer, lowering his voice ,

"Look, I don't know who you are…but you seem like a good guy, coming to welcome Kurt and all. If I introduced you to him could you maybe keep an eye on him?" The boy, Finn, shuffled from foot to foot. Blaine nodded enthusiastically instantly and Finn grinned, before his face turned deadly serious and Blaine was deathly aware of their height difference,

"But if you hurt him, you know I'm a quarterback and like twice the size of you, dude" Finn added, just to make sure he did his brotherly duties right. He smiled smugly at Blaine's shocked face, nodded to himself and pulled Blaine along.

Blaine followed with wide eyes at this quite scary guy that was taking Blaine to Kurt's dorm room. At least he's taking good care of him if he is his boyfriend Blaine sighed.

The door was shut and Finn opened it gently, poking his head through and then opening it for Blaine to follow through. Kurt was sat facing from the door on his bed, sniffing but with his back rigid, obviously not comfortable, but with his guards up, so as safe as he could be.

"Dude?"

Kurt turned around sharply, obviously lost in his thoughts, and his eyes widened at the sight of Blaine before something flashed in his eyes and he walked over with purpose. He stopped in front of Blaine and smiled, wide and fake. He stuck his hand out and introduced himself,

"Hi I'm Kurt. I was beaten up for being flamboyantly gay and yet, no, sadly it can't be kicked out of me. Maybe if it did things wouldn't be so awkward between me and my new step-brother, even though I don't have a crush on him anymore."

"Dude-"

"If you talk to me, I warn you I will probably fall in love with you and become a creepy stalker like everyone thinks I am. If people don't know me by my title of "the gay kid" they know me as "the one who lost his mother". As you can see I have a gay face and countertenor singing voice to match my homosexuality and if you can't deal with that then try being me, I-"

"Hey, Kurt!" Finn ran in front of Kurt and grabbed his hands, leaning down until Kurt reluctantly broke his defiant stare at Blaine and looked over at Finn, trying desperately not to let his doubt show,

"That is not cool, man. What did dad say about pushing people away?" Finn said softly and Blaine saw Kurt visibly deflate in front of his eyes.

He looked so small and alone and Blaine reached forward before he knew what he was doing, grabbing Kurt's hand. Kurt looked up alarmed, Finn joining him with a confused glance that Blaine thought might always be there. He tried to smile as genuine as he could, and tried not to think about what he was about to say,

"Hi, I'm Blaine. I am also gay, shown mostly by my old crush for my now best friend, Wes, and my obsession with Katy Perry. I sing too often, jump on furniture and was also beaten up at a dance for taking the only other guy out at my school. So I came here. No one knows me as "the one with daddy issues" but that's who I am considering most days he won't talk to my - and I quote - "faggy face". I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with you falling in love with me because, I don't know if you noticed, but every gay guy down there and some of the straight one's think you are gorgeous. I have unbelievably curly hair, and if you can't deal with that, try being me. I'm not saying you would want to, but we have been waiting for a countertenor for ages in the Warbler's, and we would worship you if you joined. Also, I don't know about you, but I think you are pretty amazing and it would mean so much to me if, you don't even have to try to let me in, but if you let me try my hardest to show you that things are different here. We all care and accept all, just like a dapper school boy should be brought up" Blaine smiled softly and squeezed Kurt's shaking hand lightly and took a step closer, letting all his emotion and feeling come into his eyes, letting down all his walls to show he was being honest,

"Hello Kurt, it's nice to meet you. We both know an unnecessary amount of information about each other, and I think we should be friends?"

There was silence for a few moments, before the most beautiful smile spread across Kurt's face, which he tried to get rid of to no avail, glancing down at their hands,

"Yeah…yes! I'd like that" Kurt looked up, almost disbelieving, and tried to wipe away a tear, but Blaine didn't let him, catching his other hand and holding it too, stroking his thumbs across it softly,

"Never be afraid to feel, Kurt"

Kurt smiled, tears slipping easily now,

"Oh, I hope it's easy for me to trust you" Kurt mumbled and Blaine grinned widely, squeezing their hands together again, harder this time,

"I think it'll be easy for me to love you" Blaine answered, not even thinking about the implications of that sentence, just feeling.
