Chapter 20
Will stand in front of the New Directions, surveying the damage that had happened. Blaine had called him to say that Kurt was staying at Dalton, leaving him to be the one to tell the kids.
"Well, I hope you're happy." Everyone looked up in surprise at the disappointment in their teacher's voice.
"Happy about what?" Tina asked him.
"Kurt. He's moved to Dalton."
"Wait, how the hell is he gonna afford that?" Puck asked, standing up.
"Blaine didn't say much on the phone, just that Kurt wasn't coming back." Wills words sent the new Directions into an uproar.
"What right does he have to make Kurt stay?" Rachel yelled. There were murmurs of agreement but a few of the group looked uncomfortable.
"Maybe its best that Kurt's in a safe environment, I on come on Rachel." Artie started. The self proclaimed diva just shrugged him off.
"Kurt belongs to New Directions, he need to be with us."
"Yeah, we can protect him." Finn stated.
Oddly enough it was Brittany started to contradict the tall teen. "No we can't. Our dolphin needs to be looked after by the curly haired dolphin." She said it in such a way that made the group have to think about what she was talking about.
"At least we don't have to worry about him anymore." Puck regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth.
"Oh no you didn't Puckerman, do you want me to go all Lima Heights on you?" Santana started towards Puck. "If you disrespect Porcelain any more I will do just that. Britt's right, he's better off in...Gay Hogwarts." With this Santana sat back in her seat, leaving Puck afraid of what the Latina would do if he said anything like that again.
There was an awkward silence in the room before Mr Schue started to talk again. "Right, we need to get our set list sorted for reginols and now that we're a member short we need another member."
"Brilliant, there's a few songs that I was thinking I could do." And just as the words left Rachel's mouth, all talk of their countertenor had left.
LINE BREAK
"Right, we need to start preparing for Reginols, so does anyone have any ideas for songs?" Kurt was pulled against Blaine's side as he sat in the Warbler meeting. He had been at Dalton for nearly a week now. His week at Dalton had been a blur of catch-up work, surprisingly; nice guys helping him out and shifts in the library. The only subject that Kurt didn't need to catch up in was French, and that was only because he was fluent. Kurt had taught himself French so that he knew he had some sort of control in his life. When he was in French class at McKinley he found he could tell every Neanderthal in the place exactly what he thought of them and they had no idea what he was saying. This theory worked, to some extent, at home to. When his parent was high he'd tell them everything he hated about them, all in French. He knew better than to do it to Ben though, not knowing what would happen if his Uncle ever figured out exactly what he said to him. Dalton was definitely a very different place to McKinley and his home life.
As Kurt sat, listening to the Warblers debate who would be the best leads (Blaine came up a lot in that category, and surprisingly so did himself) he couldn't help compare them to New Directions. Where the new Directions tended to ignore him, and his ideas, the Warblers wanted his opinion. Although, Kurt had just shook his head not yet confident enough to talk to the whole group. Once, before he had been stabbed in the choir room and sunk into depression, he may have but not now, maybe not for a long time.
As he sat there, deep in thought, Blaine squeezed his hand. Looking up in surprise, Kurt realized the whole room was staring at him. He blushed a deep red before sinking further into the couch.
"So...how do you feel about showing off your voice at reginols?" David asked, trying to be gentle to the obviously distressed boy. Everyone in the room knew that Kurt was delicate and didn't like to be forced into the centre of things. On his first day of Dalton a teacher had made him come to the front of the class to talk about where he came from and he had almost had a panic attack. It had taken Blaine to lead him outside of the classroom to calm him down, and no one had asked him anything like this again (not even the more cruel teachers).
"Erm...No. It's a really nice offer but...I only just joined and...there's so many better singers here." Kurt said, quietly.
"Come on, Kurt. The Warblers haven't had a countertenor for nearly 20 years, we need to show case your amazing vocal range." Wes pleaded. Honestly, Kurt almost expected him to start begging on his knees.
It was a surprise to Kurt that someone would say that. In ND it had almost always been Rachel and Finn who got the lead. Occasionally, someone else would get a bit of a solo but they were the main people to get solos. And because Rachel and himself were similar in vocal talent he had never pushed for it, especially after what had happened the one time he did.
He had told his Uncle about wanting to sing Defying Gravity in Glee so he had told the school to let him do so. Kurt should've known it wasn't for free though as his Uncle raped him again that night and said that he would carry on doing so unless Kurt didn't get to sing the song, causing Kurt to blow the High F that he knew he could reach.
"Hey, love you okay." Blaine whispered into the younger boy's ear. Kurt nodded, forcing the tears that had appeared at the edges of his vision at this thought away.
"So...please." Wes begged once more.
"Fine." Kurt said. He couldn't see the problem with doing so anyway. It could be fun.
"Right, does anyone have any ideas on song choices for our amazing countertenor?" Thad asked the Warblers.
By the time Warblers rehearsal was finished it was decided that Kurt would sing defying Gravity and Blaine would also have a solo. They didn't know what song to give Blaine as the shorter boy wanted to sing Katy Perry and no one wanted another song by her. As Wes put it Blaine would turn straight for Katy Perry and his obsession was making him seem like a teenage girl.
LINE BREAK
"So...what was on your mind in Warbler practice?" Blaine asked casually as he pulled Kurt onto the bed with him.
"Nothing." Blaine knew Kurt was lying the minute those words left his mouth.
"I thought you were going to start telling me everything from now on."
"I'm sorry...it's just...I haven't had someone who wanted me to tell them my whole life story too. I just need to get used to it, that's all." Kurt felt the tears build in his eyes but pushed them back. One stray tear betrayed his feelings as Blaine saw and kissed it away before pulling Kurt into a tight hug.
"I'm here for you now baby. You're never going to be alone again." Kurt nodded before falling into Blaine's arms.
They stayed like this for another 5 minutes before Kurt pulled out of Blaine's grip. Blaine gave Kurt a look that reminded Kurt of a kicked puppy as Kurt moved to his book bag.
"We can cuddle later but I need to get some of this homework done before tomorrow."
"Need any help." Blaine asked.
"No, last time you helped I didn't get anything done." Kurt was referring to the day before when Blaine had attempted to help and instead the two had ended up back in bed watching a movie.
Blaine stuck his tongue out at his boyfriend before burying his head into the pillow, emitting a loud groan that made Kurt giggle.
It's not that I don't like ND, because I love them, but I love them treating Kurt like shit more :P Spoilers: Reginols and Ben is brought back into the story. Should be up either sometime this week or next, not sure yet, depends how long it takes me to write. Anyway hope you enjoyed and please review XD
If anyone has any ideas for what songs Blaine could sing please tell me as I have no ideas and at this rate I'll probably have him sing either a Katy Perry song or something from the show :D
