Sorry for the late update. Its exam week and I was trying to study all last week and ohmygosh, it's just been hectic.
This one I wrote kinda half way on my phone one night. I was feeling descriptive and I wanted to write another way Kurt could have met Blaine. Of course, I needed my Wes and David. Then that turned into the Twins, which turned into Jeff and Nick, then Reed and Shane, then Dwight. Let's just say that there are a lot of Warblerland characters in this one. But Logan isn't in this one. I don't like Logan. Also, this switches points of view like crazy. Sorry, in advance.
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the 'Dalton' characters. I'm just playing with them.
Kurt stared up at the gold lettering above the double dark red doors. The air was quiet, as he was arranged to come later. The windows were closed but the drapes were drawn back. If Kurt had looked to the left, he would have seen two boys, one light skinned one dark skinned, watching him from a window. The gold letters above him gleamed in the sunlight.
Dalton Academy was his new safe haven, his new school. Kurt had heard of the anti-bullying policy but Kurt was still nervous. Taking a nervous breath, Kurt pushed open the doors. The two boys at the window exchanged a look and ran from the window.
Kurt turned in a slow circle in the lobby of the school. The walls were painted a dark red and doors were a medium brown. To his left was a marble-looking staircase with a black railing. Above him was a glass dome. Kurt realized with a jolt that he didn't know what to do.
"BLAINE!" Kurt nearly jumped out his skin as two boys dashed down the steps. One boy, dark skinned, kept jogging down a hall while the other one, light skinned, skidded to a stop and turned to face Kurt.
"David! Go find the Twins, Reed, Jeff, Nick and Blaine. Oh and don't forget Dwight and Shane. Shane is here for the weekend right?" Kurt stood wide-eyed as the light skinned boy surveyed him with brown eyes after dismissing the darker skinned boy when he returned. Then the boy smiled and extended a hand.
"Wesley Leung.* But everyone calls me Wes. Nice to meet you." Kurt snapped out of his daze and shook Wes' hand.
"Kurt Hummel. I'm new here." Kurt replied. Wes' smile widened before calling up the stairs.
"Blainey! Come here!" A sort of short curly haired boy separated from a group of boys who had gathered on the stairs. The boy glanced from Wes to Kurt and green met blue.
This boy was gorgeous. The boy's black curls fell in little ringlets. His bright green eyes seemed to look into Kurt's soul. He looked a lot like Harry Potter; Kurt noted which made him laugh suddenly. Wes and this striking boy gave him a look.
"What's so funny?" Wes asked. Kurt blinked and smiled shyly at the curly haired boy.
"You look like Harry Potter" Kurt remarked and the boys laughed. "I get that a lot. The name is Blaine. I see you met Wes." Kurt shook his hand. Before Kurt could introduce himself, Blaine turned towards the group that had moved off the stairs and was now behind him. Blaine pointed to a pair of twin boys and began to introduce them when they interrupted.
"Why hello! We are Ethan and Evan Brightman. Just call us 'The Twins' or 'The Tweedles'!" Kurt gave them a weird look. Tweedles?
"Now, everyone that we like has a name. Blaine here is the White Rabbit so you must be Alice!" Kurt caught on.
"So you name everyone after Alice in Wonderland characters?" Kurt questioned. The twins nodded in unison.
"Welcome to Warblerland, Alice!" The twins chorused and then, strangely enough, dashed off laughing manically. Blaine just chuckled.
After some introductions and Blaine finally learning Kurt's name, Blaine was able to usher the curious boys away so he could show Kurt around. Blaine studied the porcelain boy from across the counter. They had stopped in the school kitchen ("You guys have a private kitchen?") to have a mug of coffee. Kurt stared out the window, almost sadly. The late afternoon sunlight danced across the boy's skin, making him look like he was glowing. Blaine thought he was beautiful.
"Kurt?" Blaine asked, tentatively. Kurt looked at Blaine, the frown not leaving his face. Blaine sighed for a moment.
"Are you okay?" Kurt looked away and seemed to think about that for a moment before taking a deep breath. He looked back up at Blaine and Blaine noticed that Kurt had tears in his eyes. Kurt sat down his coffee mug and braced himself against the counter he was leaning on.
"I don't know if you will have a problem with this, but I'm obviously gay." Kurt said, laughing slightly at the end. Blaine just smiled softly. Kurt wouldn't meet Blaine's eyes.
"It's all good. Why would I have a problem with that since I'm gay too?" Blaine said and Kurt's head snapped up.
"Huh. I wouldn't have known. You break the stereotype quite well." Kurt said. There was a short silence for a moment. Blaine racked his encephalon for something to say and watched as a tear rolled down Kurt's cheek. He couldn't bear to see this boy cry. Blaine slowly got off the stool his was sitting on and crossed the room to Kurt. He gave plenty of room for Kurt to run away. With a tentative hand, Blaine slowly wiped Kurt's tears away. Kurt looked up at Blaine through wet eyelashes.
"Bullying." It wasn't a question. Blaine knew perfectly well what the bullying was like. The names, the taunts, the pain of it all. Kurt nodded in response. Blaine took a deep breath and whispered, "I know we just met but you look like you need a hug." Blaine held his arms open. Now Kurt wasn't one for physical contact but Blaine looked so comforting and plus, Kurt was going to burst into tears at any moment. Kurt let himself be wrapped up in Blaine. Blaine could feel Kurt shaking against him and it broke his heart. He knew that Kurt was getting his blazer wet, but at this moment, he didn't care.
OMG. SO SHORT. I just really needed to get something out.
Hahaha. I was looking in my thesaurus for a word and I found, "encephalon". Anyone know what that means? I'll give out a special shout out to the FIRST person who guesses correctly.
Yep. Silent plea for reviews.
