Hi! So I've really been in a Glee mood lately and a Klaine mood and I've been rereading my past fanfics and don't know why I never finished Transfer to Dalton. So I've decided to rewrite it but this time I'm collaborating with littleworldofme which I'm so excited about! :)
So yeah, this starts after the Furt episode and everything that has happened on the show has happened apart from Kurt going to spy on The Warblers. I really hope you enjoy it! :)
Chapter 1
Kurt was standing in his new bedroom, looking round at his new home for the future. His dad, Carole and even Finn had come with him to Dalton to help him move in. They had decided to get him moved in on the Friday so that he had the weekend to settle in before the classes began on Monday. They had just gone to meet with the Headmaster who was really nice and reiterated the zero tolerance bullying policy as he had clearly read Kurt's file. Kurt had already felt how different the atmosphere was at Dalton. As he had been walking to the Headmaster's office, other students were looking at him which wasn't unusual as he was the only one not in the normal uniform. It was obvious he was the new kid. However, what he had noticed were that the looks weren't aggressive. Everyone had either given him a welcoming smile or had even said hi to him. Kurt was brought out of his daze by a hand on his shoulder.
"You ok kiddo?" Burt asked softly.
Kurt glanced back at his dad and gave him a small smile and a nod. "Yeah I'm ok. Just a bit nervous I guess." He admitted.
"That's natural." Burt assured. "Everything will be fine. I promise you."
Kurt had to smile at his dad's attempt at reassuring him. "I know. Thanks dad."
"We should get going if we want to get back in the light." Carole said.
"Yeah you should head off, dad." Kurt said. "I can finish the unpacking."
"You sure?" Burt said.
Kurt nodded. He smiled at Carole and Finn. "Thanks for coming with us."
"Of course! Now you have fun ok? And call us if you need anything." Carole smiled at Kurt giving him a big hug.
He nodded. "I will." He said. He turned to Finn. "Tell the others I'm sorry I left them in the lurch with sectionals."
"Don't be silly! We all understand why you had to come here. We get it. We just want you to feel safe." Finn said. He smiled and gave Kurt a hug. "But if you get any trouble, you call me ok?"
Kurt smiled. "I will. Thanks Finn." He said softly.
"We'll wait in the car." Carole told Burt, putting a comforting arm on his arm before leaving.
Burt nodded and watched them leave before turning back to his son. "So…you sure you're ok if we head off?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's fine. I'll be fine." Kurt said.
"I know you will be." Burt said.
Kurt sighed. "We've never been apart not even for a week before." He said.
"I know."
Kurt felt his eyes moisten. "This is stupid! It's not like I'm never going to see you again."
"Come here." Burt said pulling him in for a tight hug. "You'll be great. I know you will."
"Thanks dad." He said tremulously.
"I'll stay a bit longer if you want me to."
"No, it's ok. You go. I'll be fine, honest." Kurt said giving him a smile. "Ring me when you're home?"
"Of course. And you keep in touch ok? Just because you're going to a fancy school now doesn't mean you can forget all about us." Burt joked.
Kurt laughed. "As if." He said giving him another hug. "I love you, dad."
"I love you too, kiddo." He said turning to leave.
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"For…everything. For being there for me, for supporting me, for…sacrificing your honeymoon for me. Just…thank you." Kurt said sincerely.
Burt smiled. "You're my number one, Kurt. You always will be." He said. "Just don't tell Carole I said that." He joked.
Kurt laughed. "Bye dad." He said.
"Bye kiddo." He said before leaving.
Kurt was putting the last of his clothes away and had changed into his uniform when he heard a voice at the door. "Your family gone?"
He looked up to see Jeff, his roommate who they had been introduced to earlier, standing there. "Yeah, about 10 minutes ago." He nodded. "My dad took some persuading but he finally left." He joked.
Jeff laughed. "Yeah my parents were the same. You guys close?" He asked.
Kurt smiled, thinking about how much his dad had sacrificed for him. "Yeah, my dad's the best. He and my step mom actually gave up their honeymoon money so that I could transfer here." He said quietly. "I really owe them."
"Wow." Jeff said.
They were interrupted when a darker haired boy appeared at the door. "Jeff, it's time." He smiled.
"Oh cool!" Jeff said going over and giving him a kiss. He turned back to see Kurt staring at them surprised. "You ok?"
"Oh...yeah. Sorry I didn't mean to stare. I just...if I did anything to show I was gay at my old school, I'd end up shoved against my locker and slushied in the face." He said. "Sorry, I didn't mean to stare. Honest."
"Oh no worries! I'm guessing that's why you transferred?" Jeff asked.
"You could say that." Kurt said quietly.
Jeff noticed that Kurt didn't really want to talk about it so he changed the subject. "Hey, you should come with us! The Warblers are doing an impromptu performance." He said.
"The Warblers?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah they're like the Glee club here." Jeff smiled. "Come watch us! The whole school will probably be there. I can introduce you to some of our friends. Oh and by the way this is Nick!" He smiled.
"I wondered when you were going to introduce me." Nick joked. "Hey, it's nice to meet you." He smiled at Kurt.
"You too. I'm Kurt." He smiled.
"We should get going." Nick said. "You know how Wes gets!"
"Yeah you're right! Come on Kurt! We can grab something to eat after." Jeff said.
"Ok sure." Kurt said following his new friends out. He followed them downstairs to the common room area. Jeff and Nick rushed off to the group who were gathering in the middle so he held back and watched from the doorway. He couldn't help being mesmerised by the lead singer who started singing Teenage Dream. He had black hair which was gelled back and his voice was so smooth. His heart skipped a beat when he caught his eye and he smiled over at him.
After it finished, Jeff and Nick went over to Kurt. "What did you think?" Jeff asked.
"Amazing. You were all amazing." Kurt enthused but he couldn't help feeling his heart flutter when he saw the lead singer coming their way. Why was he suddenly feeling like this?
"Hey guys!" He said patting Jeff and Nick on the back.
"Hey!" Jeff grinned. "Oh Blaine this is my new roommate, Kurt. Kurt this is Blaine. He's going to win us Sectionals!"
"Don't jinx it yet, Jeff!" Blaine laughed. "Hey Kurt, it's nice to meet you." He smiled, giving him a friendly pat on the back.
"Yeah...uh...you too." Kurt managed to get out, trying to keep himself together. Why was this guy having such an effect on him?
"We're going to go grab something to eat. Want to join us?" Jeff asked Blaine.
"Sure. Anything to get away from Wes and David!" Blaine joked.
"Are they having a domestic tiff?" Jeff laughed.
"Something about David eating his chocolate bar." Blaine smirked.
"Uh oh..." Nick smirked and they all laughed.
They went and got some food and then found a table in the canteen. "Can I ask you something?" Kurt asked. "Are you all...gay?"
The three of them all laughed and Kurt started feeling stupid.
"Sorry...I just...the way you were talking about David and Wes..." Kurt said trying to explain himself.
"No, sorry we're laughing. This isn't a gay school." Blaine said. "I mean I'm gay but David and Wes have girlfriends."
"Although they do act like an old married couple." Jeff joked.
"Oh yeah, totally!" Blaine said. "So Kurt, you moved in today?" He asked, smiling at him.
"Uh yeah, my dad thought it would be good for me to settle in a bit before I start lessons." Kurt said.
"Makes sense." Blaine nodded. "Well it's good to have a new face." He smiled giving Kurt a pat on the back. "So welcome."
Kurt felt his heart flutter again and gave him a small smile. "Thanks." He said.
"Yeah and I can assure you that you've got the best judgement there is hanging out with us because we're awesome!" Jeff grinned.
"Modest too!" Nick smirked.
Kurt laughed as he watched Jeff playfully hit Nick on the arm but he could also see that even though Nick obviously loved teasing Jeff, he obviously cared very deeply for him as well. They ate in silence for a bit before Kurt looked up again. "So...uh...I can't help but notice...The Warblers, they're actually cool here aren't they?"
"Yeah we're like rockstars!" Blaine said. He noticed Kurt's face fall a bit. "Hey, are you ok?"
"What? Oh yeah...I'm fine. It just reminds me of how uncool the Glee club at my old school was." He said quietly. "I'm pretty sure every member got slushied numerous times."
"Wait, you can sing?" Jeff said excitedly. "You should join The Warblers!"
"Whoa Jeff, don't pressure him." Blaine jumped in.
"But..." Jeff protested.
"Jeff..." Blaine said.
Jeff sighed but dropped it.
"Hey why don't we go say hi to David and Wes? Try and get them to make up." Nick said noticing how quiet Kurt had gone.
Blaine shot Nick a grateful look as he pulled Jeff up and off in the opposite direction. He looked back at Kurt. "So I'm guessing you didn't have a great time at your old school?" He said cautiously.
Kurt sighed and glanced at Blaine. "I was the only openly gay student there." He admitted quietly. "And this neanderthal made it his goal to make my life hell."
"I'm sorry." Blaine said sympathising, putting a reassuring hand on Kurt's shoulder.
"And of course, being in Glee club didn't help either." Kurt sighed. "I just...I can't believe how different it is here."
"I get it." Blaine said. "I transferred here last year." He admitted. "I got picked on too and I could tell the teachers sympathised and everything but they just didn't do anything. Some stuff...happened and I needed to get out of there. So I transferred here." He said.
Kurt looked at him in surprise. He would never have guessed that he would have gone through the same thing as him. "I'm sorry." He said.
"Don't be." Blaine said giving him a reassuring smile. "I promise you it will be better here. The teachers really deal with any trouble."
"That's what Mr Willis said." Kurt said quietly, referring to the Headmaster.
"And he's right. I know it's scary changing schools when you don't know anyone but hey you've made some friends now right? And friends look after each other. You'll be fine, Kurt. I promise." Blaine smiled.
Kurt gave him a watery smile. He hadn't realised his eyes had welled up. "Thanks." He said quietly.
Blaine smiled and suddenly took hold of Kurt's hand. "Come on, I'll introduce you to the old married couple." He joked.
Kurt laughed. "I'd like that."
"And if you do want to join The Warblers, I'm sure Wes would allow you to audition since you've just transferred here. But there's no pressure. Do what you want." Blaine smiled.
He smiled back. "I'll think about it. But thank you." He said.
Blaine smiled and pulled him off in the direction of the table where Nick and Jeff were sat with David and Wes. "Brace yourself." He whispered in Kurt's ear, which sent shivers down his spine.
Kurt laughed and allowed Blaine to make the introductions. He sat down and quietly glanced around the table. He smiled to himself as he realised that he may have just made some really good friends. Suddenly he wasn't so nervous anymore.
They sat down there for a couple of hours just chatting and messing around until they eventually all retired to their dorms. Just as Kurt got to his, his cell rang. He pulled it out and smiled as he saw the caller id. "Hey dad!" He answered.
I hope you enjoyed it! Would love to know what you thought so please leave a review if you can. Thank you! :)
