A/N: This takes place the day after their first kiss.
Thanks for reading!
Kurt weaved his way through the crowded Dalton halls as quickly as he could without actually shoving people out of his way. He had a plan for today but he had to catch Blaine before he left his class. He was practically up on his toes to see over the heads to look for the one he wanted. He spotted the black-hair he knew so well even from behind.
"Blaine!" he called out and the head turned. Kurt caught his breath at the sight of his face. Dreamy as ever and his heart skipped a beat. Excitement and nervous energy built up in him and it was everything he could do not to jump up and down.
"Hi, Kurt."
There was a warmth in Blaine's eyes and smile that brought back such vivid memories of their kiss yesterday that Kurt thought he might explode on the spot.
"So," Kurt began breathlessly, "we're together now, right?"
There was that smile again. Blaine answered simply, "Yes."
"And Dalton has a zero tolerance policy?"
A slight puzzlement entered Blaine's expression and his voice. "Yeah."
Kurt took a deep breath. "Then will you walk me to my next class?"
"Sure." Blaine responded with a mixture of a smile and questioning frown. He couldn't help thinking that Kurt had something more in mind. He was thinking that Kurt was going to ask him out on a date when Kurt's hand slipped into his. Surprised Blaine stared down at their joined hands, his closing around Kurt's automatically.
Then Kurt was tugging him and Blaine fell into step beside him. When Blaine brought his attention back up, Kurt wasn't looking at him. He was glancing around at everyone else and Blaine knew instantly what Kurt was doing because he had similar reservations when he first arrived at Dalton.
True to its word, Dalton had welcomed him without a hint of taunting or even whispers behind his back. Still, in the beginning, he was reluctant to put that tolerance to the test by flaunting the fact that he was gay to anyone's face. After all, it was one thing for people to say they were okay with it, but that didn't mean they were ready to see two guys openly PDAing. But Blaine soon learned that he could talk about his interests or discuss gays rights, in fact, other students often initiated the topics. Blaine's confidence grew and he quickly found his place, even leadership roles despite only being a junior. He hoped it would be the same for Kurt.
For now Blaine tried unsuccessfully to hold back the smile as he watched Kurt test the waters. Kurt avidly watched the boys who passed them. Quite a few didn't seem to notice at all, those that did either didn't care or just gave little quizzical smiles. The biggest reaction came from a couple of Warblers whose mouths fell open and nudged each other and began whispering, but really no different than what he and Mercedes did when they discovered the latest hookup in New Directions.
When they got to Kurt's class, Blaine grinned at him. "Well, look at that, the sun didn't explode and the planet didn't fly off its axis."
Kurt rolled his eyes, feeling only a little silly, mostly he just grinned. He was much too happy at pulling off a favorite wish to feel embarrassed.
"Save me a seat at lunch?" Blaine asked and Kurt nodded vigorously. He did a little spin as he entered the classroom and Blaine laughed and headed off for his class, riding his own high.
