Enjoy!

4 days until VALENTINES DAY: February 10th

"I hate valentines day." Kurt mumbled as he and Blaine waited in line for their food in the dinning hall. The ceiling had paper hearts strung from them and the table clothes were white, pink and red. Even the lunch ladies had heart shaped pins on their aprons.

"Take that back!" Blaine said aghast.

"I will not. It's a Hallmark holiday; if someone wanted to tell me that they love me they shouldn't feel obligated to do it February 14th." Kurt argued.

"Okay, okay" Blaine said hoping to pacify his boyfriend.

"You didn't plan something did you?" Kurt eyed his boyfriend with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope" Blaine said. He had been planning on getting a reservation at an exclusive restaurant a couple towns over but he hadn't booked it yet.

"Okay, good. Oh I see Wes, c'mon" Kurt dragged his boyfriend over to the silently christened "Warbler table." It was an unwritten rule in Dalton that the Warbler table was the largest table in the middle of the dinning hall. It was easier to view impromptu performances if they were in the center and it was also a way for the teachers to keep an eye on them. Well more specifically the Blonde Buggers (Thanks Eraman) who insisted on sitting with them even though they weren't Warblers.

"We're honorary Warblers Wes, god!" Evan said. He was balancing his tray on one hand and the other was trying to hold onto a chair David was wrestling away from him.

"No you're not!" Wes and David said in unison.

"You know Wesley-" Evan started.

"Wes" Wes corrected him.
"Wesley" Evan stretched out the word. "If you don't let us sit here it is violating the no-bullying policy. How would
that look on your permanent record?"

Ever since then the Twins had a rightful place at the table.

"Well, at least we don't have science class this week" Kurt said encouragingly. Two science rooms had to get fumigated and they both belonged to the Junior and Senior class. All Junior's and seniors were excused from science class for a week.

"Lucky bastards" Cian grumbled.

"What are you talking about? You're a science genius." Wes said as he sat down next to Cian and beside Blaine. It was a well-known fact in the Ruby house that Cian had a knack for science. His science teacher, Professor Bradley, had already written him a letter of recommendation to Massachusetts institute of technology (MIT), Yale and Princeton even though Cian was only a sophomore.

"I'm alright," Cian mumbled. Everyone at the table stopped and looked at him.

"Excuse me! You're more then alright," David yelled from the end of the table. "I don't know whether you just have low self esteem or you're just fishing for compliment"

"Ya, people who are all right in science don't get early acceptance to MIT" Cian's best friend, Richard Fredrick, said. Everyone froze and looked at Cian then Richard then back to Cian.

"Richard" Cian hissed. Richard had the decency to look guilty as he continued to eat, quite quickly, his mashed potatoes.

"How early?" Kurt asked. He and Cian were shopping buddies. They never got bored of shopping which was lucky for Blaine and Richard because they couldn't care less if they bought shirts from Target or Dior.

"Um, right after exams in June"

"You're not coming back next year?!" Everyone at the table shouted.

"But you're only a sophomore" David protested.

"Yes but I could've been a junior. My parents just wanted me to be with kids my own age. If I take some courses during the summer I'll be all set to go by September" Protests immediately started up.

"I'm going to fail science without you as my tutor"

"It's March, thanks for the early notice"

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

"Oh I have so much planning to do for your goodbye party. What's your favorite colour?"

"Um" Cian was overwhelmed as Warblers kept shouting questions at him. Luckily the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Cian bolted from his seat and got lost in the crowd of students making their way towards the exit.

"He'll do well at MIT" Kurt said as one of the lunch ladies took his tray. Dalton students didn't have to clean up after themselves once they finished lunch. There were lunch ladies hired to do that.

"Yes he will" Blaine agreed. "I would love to borrow his brain one day. Maybe once the technology is made and-"

"I love your brain just the way it is" Kurt kissed Blaine on the cheek.

"Mm, what else do you love about me?" Blaine asked. He grabbed Kurt's hand as they walked.

Wes walked up beside them and made gagging noises.

"Aw great guys. You're high cuteness level made Wes sick" David groaned. "Are you okay Wes? Do you need to be hospitalized?"

"You guys are so annoying" Kurt said but he was smiling so to show he wasn't actually annoyed.

OOOoOOooOOOo

"Kurt, can you take the shift after dinner?" Wes asked as he, David, Blaine and Kurt walked down the hall. Wes was concentrating on his cell phone and students had to basically jump out of his way to avoid hitting him.

"What?" Kurt asked, confused.

"Whenever there's a prank war we take shifts on watching the twins. It never works-" Blaine started to explain.

"That's because no one takes it seriously and then they get all mad when the twins prank them" Wes interjected.

"I don't know Wes. I was actually thinking of planning a goodbye party for Cian and-" Kurt rambled. He had already made a list on his phone of all the essentials needed for the party. He was also planning on creating a video of Warblers and other students saying congratulations to him. Kurt was hoping to make up for the lukewarm reception he got from the Warblers at lunch.

"Kurt, he leaves in June you have months to worry about it" Wes interrupted. "Or maybe this has nothing to do with Cian and more with the Abbott's? What, are you scared of the little buggers?"

"NO!" Kurt said adamantly. "It's just that-"

"Kurt it's fine. Everyone is at least a little afraid of the identical idiots (Thanks again Eraman). It's as natural as being afraid of the boogeyman when you were a kid" Blaine said trying to make his boyfriend more comfortable.

"Seriously Blainy Boy? Who calls it the boogeyman anymore?" David teased. Blaine shoved David playfully and the boy responded by holding Blaine in a headlock.

"No but honestly Kurt I don't think there's any menace behind it." Blaine said as David held him in a headlock.

"That's not very dapper of you David" Kurt said jokingly.

"Being dapper is Blaine's thing, I'm the cute loveable sidekick" He replied cockily.

"More like annoying, egotistical jerk" Blaine twisted his way out of the headlock and ran to Kurt's side. They were walking in a straight line through the hallways (Kurt, Blaine, Wes then lastly David).

Kurt's phone rang as Blaine and David bickered back and forth.

"Hello?" Kurt answered the phone without recognizing the number. He made a mental note to ask his father to get caller ID for his phone.

"Kurt?" Rachel's cheery voice came through the Iphone.

"Rachel? What's up? Is everyone okay?" Kurt asked wondering why Rachel was contacting him. He hadn't spoken to the diva since they went bowling together a couple months ago.

"Oh ya, everything's fine." She said plainly.

Silence

Crickets chirping

"Um...okay...so why'd you call me?" Kurt asked. He wished the girl would get right to the point.

"Just wanted to check in on you." She said, oozing sweetness.

"Oh" Kurt smiled. It made his heart warm to know his friends cared about him enough to call. "I'm good, great in fact."

"Oh" Kurt thought he heard a twinge of disappointment in her voice but couldn't be sure. "Alright, when do you come back to Lima?"

"I leave right after school on Friday so I should be in Lima by 6:30 maybe 6 if there's no traffic"

"Okay, see you then. Bye Kurt"

"Bye Rachel" Kurt hung up and put his phone in his pocket.

"So Kurt right after dinner ends you, Jeff and Liam Henderson will be on shift from 6:30 to 8:10. You haven't met Liam yet Kurt have you? He's a freshman and he lives in the Ruby dorm but isn't a Warbler"

"BOMBS AWAY!" Smoke suddenly obstructed Kurt's view and he stumbled around the hallway trying to see.

"Smoke bombs? Real mature Abbott's." Someone shouted in the hallway that Kurt suspected was Thad.

"It wasn't us" Kurt jumped and turned around. He waved smoke away from his face and could make out two blonde twins covered in white powder.

"What are you covered in?" Kurt asked as he waved more smoke away from his face. Teachers were yelling in the hallway trying to direct students into classrooms and clear the smoke out at the same time.

"Someone dropped a flour bomb on us" Eric replied. He shook his head and flour came out like dandruff.

"Ya right. That just continentally gives you a perfect alibi doesn't it?" Blaine replied smugly.

"We're telling the truth gelhead." Ethan snapped. "We were in the kitchen and when we turned on the sink-" he paused for dramatic effect. "BOOOM! POOF! POW! Flour came out of the drain. The culprit had to be pretty smart to figure that out. We've tried it before but it just blew up in our face- no pun intended"

"Like science smart?" Blaine asked, his brow furrowed like it always did when he was thinking.

"Ya, like a freaking genius. It wasn't just one bomb either, there were contraptions all over the kitchen"

"Hmm, has anyone seen Cian since lunch?" Blaine wondered. Kurt's heart dropped.

"No!" Kurt yelled once he realized what Blaine was getting at. "It's no Cian Blaine, don't even joke about that"

"I'm just asking" Blaine replied innocently. Kurt rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"What? You think Cian made a flour bomb?" Kurt asked. Some teachers started opening windows and the smoke began to blow out of the hallway. "No freaking way Cian did that. He's way too nice"

"It's possible" Ethan said deep in thought. Kurt snorted and shook his head.

"No, Cian wouldn't do that" Kurt insisted. "You two however-" Blaine cut him off.

"Why not? How well do you know Cian?" Blaine asked. Kurt's jaw dropped as he listened to his boyfriend accuse one of his friends of a heinous crime when the culprits were clearly in front of him. The menaces were literally under his nose and he was just ignoring them.

"How well do you know him?" Kurt snapped back. "From what I have seen, Cian is an awkward, uncoordinated genius who has low self-esteem issues and parents problems"

"Thanks Kurt" Cian said. He had turned the corner and had heard the end of Kurt's little speech. He didn't hear why Kurt was saying all those things so he thought Kurt was insulting him.

"Cian-" It was too late, Cian has already taken off in a mad dash.

"Great going guys" Kurt hissed as he ran after Cian. Ethan and Eric didn't even look apologetic but Blaine's brow was furrowed again.

"Hey, it's not us he's mad at Kurt! Have fun!" Ethan yelled but Kurt had already ran out of the hallway and didn't hear.

OOOoOOooOOOo

"CIAN? CIAN? CCCIIIAAANNN!" Kurt cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled down every hallway in Dalton. He had yet to find Cian and it'd been an hour already. He had missed History class and if he didn't leave soon he'd miss most of French. He couldn't afford to miss classes because he was already behind since he transferred mid-semester. Kurt's shoulder dropped and he shook his head. Cian probably hated his guts; he knew he would've.

Kurt wiped tears from his eyes as he left the common room in the Ruby dorm. Just as the door shut behind him Cian peeked out from the kitchen. He ran across the room, making sure no one spotted him, and up the stairs. He just wanted to be alone to think. He had a lot of thinking to do.
