Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any of it's characters.
A/N: Sorry this took so long, I have been doing overtime at work and just went back to university, but I wanted to give everyone something before all that gets too crazy. Also you know Tumblr and pinterest are rather distracting. Someone asked me if I got one of the characters names from switched at birth, I have never actually seen it (I'm guessing its a TV Show) but I will have to look into it. If anything I got the name Carlton from Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. Anyway on with the story!
Valentine's day was fast approaching, Kurt was thanking his lucky stars it was on a Saturday this year. Starting Haverbrook had cut the time he spent with Blaine in half so they had both made sure they could spend the entire weekend together. Kurt had even convinced his dad to let Blaine stay for the night. But that was still a week away and Kurt was currently sat outside the office of Mr. Rumba, the glee club director, Jack had told Kurt he needed to see him. He had no idea why since Kurt had no interest in joining the glee club. He wasn't interested in music anymore, what was the point if he couldn't hear? A freshman girl stepped out and signed to Kurt that he was ready for him now.
"Hello," Mr. Rumba signed with a smile. "Have a seat."
Kurt sat down with a small smile and tucked his scarf under his blazer a little more, most of the teachers didn't mind Kurt's spin on the uniform but he knew Mr. Rumba was the sort of teacher who would give him detention if he saw the new silk Marc Jacobs scarf. "I asked you to meet with me today because the glee club needs your help." Kurt was about to interrupt and say he had no interest but Mr. Rumba wasn't paying any attention to Kurt or any sign language he might be trying to use. "We made it through our sectionals but now we need help for regional's. Would you be willing to come on board as my assistant?"
Kurt sat there for a moment thinking things through. He missed glee club and this would let him be involved with music somehow, but he still saw it pointless since he couldn't hear how the club would even sound.
"What would that involve? And why are you asking me? I'm new here." Kurt signed, surely one of the current glee club members would be better suited for the job.
"We need the perspective of someone who has been to Nationals and it wasn't long since you lost your hearing, so you know more recent songs than the rest. I would be looking to you for advice on the set list and to make sure we're using the right signs. Please Kurt?" Kurt had seen Mr. Rumba look this desperate before. He still wasn't sure. In the end he decided it couldn't hurt to have some sway over at least one glee club.
"Ok, I'll help." Kurt signed, Mr. Rumba smiled for a split second before asking him to send in his next appointment on his way out. He also told Kurt he would like him to come to the next rehearsal and the next day which would be off campus since the auditorium was often rented out. Kurt walked away feeling rather flattered that his opinion would now be the one Mr. Rumba listened to, it wasn't like Mr. Schuster ever really took Kurt's ideas on board and at Dalton all Wes cared about was making sure Blaine sung every song from his Blaine filled fantasies, at one point he wondered if Wes did have some kind of hidden feelings for Blaine and all the solos allowed him to dream from afar.
The next day Kurt made his way outside to wait for the bus to take them to wherever they were rehearsing. No one had told Kurt where they were going yet. As he approached the small group standing near the entrance he saw Jack had yet to arrive and Kurt didn't know any of the other members of glee club. He signed a quick hello and shuffled awkwardly as he waited for someone he knew to arrive. It didn't take long for Jack to get there and compliment Kurt on his knew scarf. It was Jack's scarf comments that made Kurt wonder if Jack was gay, he didn't know any straight guys who would notice let alone comment on new silk scarf's.
"Looking forwards to seeing the glee club in action and have an input?" Jack asked as the bus pulled out from the school. Kurt nodded with a smile, "plus D-A-L-T-O-N has an awesome auditorium." Kurt's face lit up he had realised they would be going by Dalton when Mr. Rumba mentioned that practice was off campus that day. He pulled out his phone so he could let Blaine know as soon as his phone would allow. Jack noticed straight away how Kurt's attention turned straight to his phone, it was impossible for them to have a conversation if both his hands and eyes were occupied. He tried to wait patiently for Kurt to finish what he was doing, kind of wishing that one, he'd chosen to sit next to the window and two, that Kurt didn't have a boyfriend. Jack wasn't stupid he knew that was who Kurt was texting and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
It was half way through the rehearsal, Kurt had been making small notes in about the songs they were performing with his thoughts, when he managed to excuse himself using the old fashion bathroom excuse and ducked out of the auditorium. When Kurt was a Warbler they had rarely used the stage to rehearse Wes had loved the comfort of the meeting room too much, the stage was used for the in school performances.
Kurt peeked inside some of the classrooms, a little uncertain of Blaine's exact schedule still, as he made his way to the bathroom, after coming up with the idea it had made him actually need to go. He didn't spot Blaine or any of the other Warblers he knew. He had texted Blaine on the way to let him know he was coming and Blaine had responded saying he would do his best to meet him before he had to leave but he guessed Blaine hadn't been able to look at his phone since, but he sent another text to Blaine anyway.
Walking around the halls bought back memories of Dalton to Kurt, he remembered how safe and confident he felt when he walked down the halls and how excited he was every time he caught Blaine's eye, he had yet to feel the same way about Haverbrook and he had yet to make any real connections with his classmates. Although Jack had been pretty nice to him.
Blaine sat in his math class rushing through the last question he had to answer. If he finished all the problems then he knew his teacher would let him go to the bathroom. Then he would be able to find Kurt and see him before he had to go back to Lima. A surprise visit was always a positive and so far his day hadn't been that great, there was a surprise test thrown at him in English and the most boring History lesson ever and he was out of his favourite brand of hair gel meaning he had to resort to his back up hair gel which didn't do the best job ever. So he was fed up, bored and his hair was beginning to curl again, he could almost hear his hair springing free. He knew seeing Kurt would turn his day around.
He convinced his teacher to give him a bathroom pass and almost sprinted from the room, down the hallway and ducked around the corner to text Kurt. He found a few messages waiting for him, one from Kurt saying what bathroom he had snuck out to go to the bathroom by the auditorium. Blaine was thankful that, that particular bathroom was about thirty seconds away. He made his way around the corner, being careful to make sure there was no one who might slow him down around.
Washing his hands in the sink, making sure he did a thorough job with the soap, Kurt jumped when he looked up and spotted Blaine in the mirror, he appeared to be watching Kurt with a small smile on his face. "How long have you been standing there?" Kurt signed turning around and using a paper towel to dry his hands. The dryers were so unsanitary and harsh on his skin.
"Not long enough for it to be creepy, but long enough to admire your butt leaning over the sink." Blaine signed laughing a little and Kurt's small blush. "How long do you have?"
"A few minutes, you?" Kurt signed.
"As long as I need, all my teachers love me too much to punish me for taking too long to pee." Kurt rolled his eyes as he grabbed Blaine's hand with his and pulled him closer.
"I missed you," he whispered into Blaine's ear. He wasn't very good at filtering his own volume but he was certain that he'd spoken those words at his desired volume and not shouted them to the whole school. Blaine kissed Kurt's jaw and made a line to his mouth allowing their lips to move together for a moment before he wrapped him arms around Kurt waist, Kurt's hand rested just under Blaine's blazer, one hand making his way to his tie. "I have to get back, walk me?" Kurt asked still playing with Blaine's tie and not even attempting to move away. Blaine nodded pouting a little. Kurt pecked him once before taking his hand and pulling him from the bathroom. They walked together to the auditorium enjoying the empty hallways and allowing their hands to swing together.
When they reached the door Blaine refused to let Kurt's hand go, despite Kurt's stern look. In the end Blaine managed to press Kurt against a wall and begin to make out a little before they were interrupted. It was Kurt who pushed pointedly on Blaine's shoulder when he spotted Jack standing awkwardly behind them.
"Jack, this is my boyfriend Blaine, Blaine this is my friend from Haverbrook, Jack." Kurt signed hoping they could just miss out the awkward part.
"Nice to meet you." Blaine signed, blushing a little and pulling his tie straight again.
"You to, come on Kurt, breaks over." Jack barely glanced at Blaine as he signed, both tried not to notice too much or look into it but Blaine got an instant impression that Jack didn't like him very much. Blaine leaned over kissed Kurt on the cheek goodbye and quickly signed "text me when you leave, if I'm out of class I'll come over to say bye. If not text me later."
"So that was your boyfriend?" Jack asked as they made their way back to the stage, Kurt beamed and nodded a little. He loved being able to tell people Blaine was his boyfriend. Jack just kind of shrugged and went to join the rest of the club while Kurt took his seat next to Mr. Rumba. An uneasy feeling set in Kurt's stomach as he picked up his notebook and went back to work.
