Author's Note: Sorry that you had to wait for the update, I'm pretty busy at the moment. I'll try to update at least once a week, though. As you know, I don't own Glee or Doctor Who, or the characters. The only thing that's mine is the plot. Or lack thereof. ;) Hope you like it, and feel free to suggest places that you'd like them to go in the comments. Thank you!

Kurt leaned against the inside of the TARDIS. It was surprisingly comfortable, but he still winced, hoping the Doctor wouldn't notice.

"You okay?" the Doctor asked.

"I'm fine," Kurt said.

The Doctor gave him a sympathetic look. "So... you get bullied a lot, huh?"

"I do." Kurt folded his arms, trying to communicate that he didn't want to talk about it. The Doctor, of course, did not take the hint.

"Why?" He seemed like he genuinely wanted to know, which made a huge contrast to all the people he knew that only pretended to care.

Kurt sighed. "I told you. They don't like that I'm gay."

"Why not?" he said, looking confused.

"I don't know... they feel threatened, I guess."

The Doctor still looked baffled. "Threatened by what?"

"By me. I might rub off on them," he said bitterly.

"But you're nice!"

Kurt laughed slightly at that. "Thanks." It occurred to him that the Doctor wasn't just being sympathetic. He was actually confused. "This never happens with... your people?"

"Time Lords," the Doctor supplied. "And no. At least, it didn't. We were beyond that point in our evolution."

"Must be nice," Kurt sighed wistfully.

The Doctor put a hand on his arm, and Kurt managed not to jump. "It gets better in the future, you know."

"It does?" Somehow Kurt hadn't quite grasped that the Doctor knew these things. He'd been there.

"Sure. In fact, I have a friend who basically flirts with men, women, humans, aliens... anything that moves. Or doesn't move," he added thoughtfully.

"Doesn't move?" Kurt queried, trying to picture the possibilities.

"Don't ask," he said, making a face.

Kurt laughed and the Doctor smiled at him, making his heart swoop.

"So," the Doctor said, suddenly businesslike. "Where do you want to go? All of time and space is at your fingertips."

"Can I see whether I make it on to Broadway?" Kurt asked eagerly.

"No. Definitely not. You can't mess with your own time line."

"Oh... so there are rules?"

"Well, that's the main one. Anyway, you wouldn't really want to know your own future. It would spoil the surprise."

"I guess," Kurt said. He thought for a moment. "How about Wales?"

"Wales? Why?"

Kurt shrugged. "I like Welsh accents."

"That's as good a reason as any, I guess. Wales it is." The Doctor pressed some buttons, then pulled a lever, and the room was filled with colored lights. Kurt watched them, smiling at the fact that this somehow seemed normal and logical.

The TARDIS made the now familiar whooshing noises, signaling that they had arrived.

"Why does it make that sound?" Kurt asked.

The Doctor looked thoughtful. "I've never really thought about that. It just does, I guess."

Kurt frowned, but let it go in favor of stepping out into a whole new country. He pushed open the door and stepped into an alleyway that led onto a busy road.

"What do you think?" the Doctor asked.

Kurt walked to the end of the alleyway and glanced around. The people didn't look particularly unusual, and there was the normal buzz of conversation that came with any crowded street. It did have a slightly different texture to it, which he supposed came with any place you'd never been to before.

"Pretty much the same as anywhere," he said.

"What do you want to do?" the Doctor asked, looking slightly disappointed that he wasn't more amazed.

"Just wander around I guess," Kurt said. He started off down the street, and the Doctor followed.

Despite the people being quite similar, the architecture was fascinating. Kurt stared around it awe."It's so old!"

The Doctor chuckled. "To you, I suppose."

Kurt gave him a look. "There's no need to act superior just because you're a 'nine hundred-year-old Time Lord' who's never impressed by anything."

"Sure I am," the Doctor said. "I'm impressed by you."

Kurt tried to ignore the fluttering of hope in his chest. "Me? Why?"

"You're brave."

Kurt was feeling a little warm, despite the cold air. "Thanks." He shivered, and the Doctor looked concerned.

"You're cold?"

"I'm fine." Then he noticed the goosebumps rising on him arms. "A little," he admitted.

"We can get you a coat, if you want."

"I don't have any money," Kurt said.

"Neither do I," said the Doctor.

"Then what-"

"Follow me!" the Doctor said cheerfully. He went to the nearest ATM and pulled out a small device that Kurt had never seen before.

"What's that?" he asked warily.

"My Sonic Screwdriver," said the Doctor proudly.

"But what does it do?"

"Everything," he said, rather unhelpfully in Kurt's opinion. The Doctor pointed it at the ATM and it made a buzzing, whirring noise, which was immediately followed by money shooting out of the machine.

"Where can I get one of those?" Kurt asked, eyes wide.

"They're pretty rare," the Doctor said. "And I only have one." He clutched it to his chest possessively.

"Okay," Kurt said, disappointed. "So. Shopping?"

The Doctor sighed. "All of time and space, and he wants to go shopping."

"It was your idea!" Kurt protested.

The Doctor waved this away. "Beside the point."

Kurt shook his head, but walked beside him until they found a large clothing shop. Kurt walked in, looking with interest at the different clothing styles. He could definitely see potential with some of this stuff. He was oddly drawn to a large selection of trench coats in one section of the shop.

"What do you think?" he asked the Doctor. There was no answer. "Doctor?" There was no answer. He turned around, and couldn't see his friend anywhere. He walked down a few aisles, but with no sign of the man he'd come to care about in an astonishingly short space of time. He began to feel slightly panicked, and resolved to ask the next person he saw.

Kurt walked up to a tall man with dark hair, who had his back to him. "Excuse me? Have you seen-"

The man turned around and broke into a huge smile, then held out his hand to shake, introducing himself warmly. "Captain Jack Harkness."
