Blaine didn't realize what he set himself up for, or just how difficult it would be to hide away in the shadows of McKinley until 9th period. Oh the sacrifices he was making to surprise his boyfriend!
A sharp ringing rang throughout the classrooms, signaling the end of his math class with Rachel and Mercedes and the beginnings of Spanish. He had to time this correctly, because Kurt was just leaving the language hallway and heading towards U.S. History, which is right near Blaine's math classroom. Luckily, if Sue feel through on her promise and didn't change their schedules to match, they'd have ample opportunities to see each other during passing times, but for now he had to take the back ways around to avoid contact. And this was a difficult task, considering before today he's barely ever walked the halls.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a glimpse of a light brown purse with rhinestones around the clasp. "That's strange," he thought to himself. "I thought Kurt told me his was a limited edition." he unknowingly followed the person with the bag into the Spanish class that they both had, and motioned for Blaine to come near him. Him. There was no way this boy could be straight, carry around a Louis Vitton bag with such dignity, but why would Kurt leave this boy out of all his tales from this school? Surely he knows him; it's difficult to not know someone with this amount of attractiveness who's gay.
Blaine instantly began to get nervous. Did he somehow manage to voice his internal thoughts out loud? And what ifs going to hit on me? Omg what if Kurt things I'm getting involved with him? He took a deep breath and sat down gingerly next to him.
"Hi, I'm Sam. I'm going to guess that you're new here, being that I've never seen you before. I was the new boy back in September, so I could be of assistance if you want!" Sam had a glimmer in his eye, though it seemed like it was nothing more then a friendly gesture. Blaine introduced himself, but still noticed the bag out of the corner of his eye. Sam must've noticed his glances as well and began to address it.
"Oh, yeah, um, this isn't mine." he said, holding it up but not high enough for the rest of the class to see. "My buddy Kurt left it in the locker room. This total asshole Karofsky was gonna kill him for it but I grabbed it instead. He gets on picked on often because he's really the only out gay guy here, but a bunch of us protect him. You know, it's his first day back from private school. You should get to know of, I mean if you're okay with the whole gay thing and all."
Blaine's eyes went wide at the mention of his boyfriend. He asked Sam how he knew Kurt, and explained how on his first day of glee club Kurt asked him to be his duet partner. Even though it was before they even met, Blaine couldn't help but feel a pang of jealously. As if he was eavesdropping on their conversation and heard mention of his name, Mr. Schuster announced that it was time to start class. And he said it in Spanish, of course.
"Oui madame. Et j'ai la classe maintenant. Peux-je un passe, s'il vous plait?"
Kurt kindly asked his French teacher for a pass to history, because he stayed a bit after class to discuss male versus female pronouns. She wrote out a slip, signed it, then he left the classroom. Kurt, being his nosy self, glanced into other classes along his way. Ew, Chinese, ew, regular Spanish, ew, honors Latin... It wasn't until he reached the Honors Spanish class that something grabbed his attention.
"Is that...?" He almost spoke his thoughts out loud. His back was turned to the doorway, but he was still able to spot a shorter looking guy, with wisps of curly hair and a stripped v-neck. At this point he didn't care about what time was written on his pass, he was hungry for what was happening inside the classroom. Curly moved his head a bit to the left, allowing Kurt to see who was sitting beside him, acting as his dialogue partner. A bush of blond hair was revealed, as well as a smile full of lip. The sight of Sam reminded him that he had to retrieve his bag from the locker room, but that could wait. Right now he was more concerned about the true identity of Curly and wondering what was happening. Sam must've noticed Kurt staring from the hall, because he gained a funny look on his face and said, "Hey Kurt! I took your bag from the locker room. Should've seen Karofsky's face when I told him it was mine!" Sam chuckled a tad as if reloading it in his head.
Kurt couldn't tell from where he was standing, but from across the room Curly began to panic. Unsure how to handle this, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and dashed out the door on the other side. Once he was gone, Mr. Schuester shifted his attention to Sam, who was screaming to an unknown figure in the hallway.
"Sam, what are you doing?" Schue abandoned the Spanish this time, mainly because it was pointless. "Wait you haven't heard yet? Kurt's back!" Sam then explained to him, in more detail then he yelled to Kurt himself, about why he was holding a very effeminate bag. The teacher allowed Kurt to come inside the classroom to grab his belongings. While at Sam's table, Kurt glanced at his partner papers for a name, trying to confirm his suspicions, but it wasn't labeled. Upon his exit he turned back to ask him about his partner, but Sam didn't provide much info. "He said something about it being his first day, so I told him to seek you down actually. He was cute, you should go for it man!" He gently nudged Kurt on the shoulder, and Kurt was speechless. Surely Sam, being a member of New Directions, knew about Blaine! He figured that Mercedes told the whole school about them two. But wait, did Sam say that another male was ATTRACTIVE? With all these knew thoughts swirling around, he totally forgot about the possibility of Blaine wandering the very same halls.
Kurt found his way to history, just 3 minutes until the bell was going to ring. How long had he been standing outside the glee teachers classroom, staring at the back of a figure who looked like his boyfriend? Longer then he imagined, of course. It all must've been a simple figment of his imagination- there's no way Blaine could be at McKinley! He has quite a demanding schedule at Dalton, taking on multiple AP courses during his junior year and juggling that plus the Warblers plus a relationship is a lot to handle, meaning he couldn'tve played around with teachers and calling himself a new student at Mckinley.
"It must be fiction. It's not like it's fathomable. I should've never left Dalton, because here I am creating very true encounters in my head with Blaine here," Kurt said inside his mind. "And anyway, he's coming over later when Burt and Carole are out and Finn's over Puck's place. So I should be cured after that."
He walked to lunch with a smug smile on his face, just thinking about that afternoon.
Ruined.
The entire plan Blaine spent nights (that could've been used to study and ace Dalton tests) formulating was ruined.
He planned on surprising Kurt with his transfer, and just pop up at New Directions during their only shared class at the end of the day. It was a perfect plan, with out any flaws or kinks. He even had a song prepared to sing to Kurt when he entered, a song to tell him how he felt and why he was doing all of this. Not a very known song, but Kurt would understand why he chose it.
And that's why 6th period, during Music Theory, he was being as bad ass and didn't attend. Instead, he snuck into the auditorium and belted his heart out. He knew what could happen if he got caught, be he didn't care. Even if no one heard him but the wooden floor panels, he still knew that Kurt would be listening. So to the empty seats surround him, he began to sing 6 Months by Hey Monday, the same band who wrote the song Candles that they sang their first duet to.
You're the direction I follow to get home
When I feel like I can't go on you tell me to go
And it's like I can't feel a thing without you around
And don't mind me if I get weak in the knees
Cause you have that effect on me
You do
Everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm okay
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss as much as I hate missing you
Months going strong now and no goodbye
Unconditional
Unoriginal
Always by my side
Meant to be together
Meant for no one but each other
You love me
I love you harder so
Everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm okay
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss as much as I hate missing you
So please give me your hand
So please give me a lesson on how to steal
Steal the heart
As fast as you stole mine
As you stole mine yeah
Oh and everything you say
Every time we kiss I can't think straight
But I'm okay
And I can't think of anybody else
Who I hate to miss as much as I hate missing you
So please give me your hand
So please just take my hand
Kurt lingered in the halls and was drawn to the auditorium from where he heard a voice of an angel singing. He heard one of the songs he had put on his "Kurt+Blaine" playlist being sung and he just had to find out who was singing it. He peered his head it, and as if he was singing it to him, he saw Blaine singing with such passion to his voice.
Kurt's eyes filled up with tears. The lyrics of this song were so heartfelt, and here was Blaine, in Kurts school, singing it aloud as if no one could hear.
And this is why he loved him.
