Chapter 2: A New Friend
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any of their characters.
Emma had introduced Blaine to the class despite the majority of them not listening. Blaine felt the insignificance of being a new student and quietly made his way to the play area. He spotted a nice mat next to the toy box that had been deserted by the rest of the kids.
This seems like a good place to play, Blaine thought silently. He was too shy to introduce himself to anyone individually.
He built up the colourful blocks one by one, making a pyramid shape. Emma glanced over to the boy with a reassuring smile. Blaine smiled back and continued to build the blocks higher. A few minutes later, he had created a colourful masterpiece, putting the colours in the correct order of the rainbow. A young boy walked over to Blaine, arms swinging strongly at his side. Blaine grinned at the other boy in a courteous manner.
"Oh, hewo! Do you want to pl-" Blaine's voice was interrupted by the noise of the blocks being kicked over. The larger boy looked down on Blaine and snarled at him. Blaine burst into tears, his face turning bright red. The boy looked at him and boomed out evilly.
"Justin!" Miss Pillsbury yelled from across the room, her face cross but looking at Blaine apologetically. Justin dragged his feet along the floor lazily as he walked to the teacher. Blaine turned back to his blocks and sobbed quietly, not understanding why Justin had been so quick to dislike him.
When he looked up, he saw another boy placing all the purple blocks at the bottom, seemingly rebuilding Blaine's pyramid for him. Blaine gazed at the boy with vulnerable eyes, tears still pouring down his face. The boy was wearing blue jeans, a yellow t shirt with a rainbow on it and white pumps. He smiled at Blaine, his eyes telling him that he could trust him. And he did.
"I'm Kwurt," The boy said, leaning over to pick up the blue blocks, "wat's your name?" Kurt was nervous to be speaking to this new student but at the same time, found it extremely exciting.
"Bwaine."
"Hi Bwaine" Kurt grinned, passing Blaine a green block. He took in and happily began building up his pyramid again, hiding his face.
"Tank 'ou" Blaine looked around the room anxiously.
"It's okei," Kurt giggled, "I rewy like your t shirwt!" Blaine looked down and reminded himself that he had worn a purple one with a dinosaur on it.
"Tanks!" Blaine was starting to really liked Kurt, he was nice to him. Unlike Justin! Uch. Justin.
"I like dinosawrs, they're... fun!" Kurt lied.
"Me twoo" they carried on with the rainbow pyramid and were on the blues now.
"Kwurt..?" Blaine hesitated
"Yea?"
"Can we be f-fwriends?" Blaine stuttered, looking into Kurt's eyes.
"Sure!" Kurt clapped his hands together excitedly and gave the last red block to his new friend, "here you go" Blaine thanked the other boy and took the block, placing it carefully at the top. Kurt joined Blaine at his side as they admired the finished piece of work together.
"That's lovely, boys" Miss Pillsbury complimented them from her desk, getting up and giving Justin a stern look of 'don't-you-even-think-about-it'. She crouched down by Blaine,
"Why don't we take a picture and put it on the wall?" Kurt and Blaine looked at each other with a sense of achievement flooding over them. On the wall?! They both thought in unison.
"Yes pwease!" Kurt jumped up and down. Blaine chuckled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, why don't you two stand next to it?" She asked as she went to go get the class camera. Blaine positioned himself on the left and Kurt went to go stand on the right. Emma came back and knelt down, "say cheese!"
"Cheeeeese!" The boys showed off their tiny teeth.
"Wonderful! I'll get this up by tomorrow!" She walked back to her desk, looking at the picture she had taken on her way back.
"Bwaine, would 'ou want to sit next to mwe at lunch?" Kurt asked,
"Yeah!" Blaine grinned. Kurt gestured for Blaine to go before him and they went together to sit down at the arts and crafts table. They silently worked for a few minutes. Blaine tapped a very focused Kurt on the shoulder,
"Hmm?" Kurt looked up with a smile, Blaine slid the paper across the table. Kurt picked it up and sniggered gently. "I wove it! Tank 'ou!". The drawing featured the two boys standing next to their pyramid, with the text, 'wainbow piramid, Kurt and Blaine' above it. Kurt leaned over and hugged Blaine, grateful for the drawing and the new friendship that has blossomed between them. Blaine hugged him back. He thought about how nice it felt, like when he hugged his mother, but much better. It was warm and safe.
"WHY ARE KWERT AND BWAINE HUGGING MISS PILLSBUREE?!" Justin practically screamed at her.
"Why not?" Emma glared at the boy, putting her hands over her ears.
"Becos it's WEIRD!" he moaned.
"If Kurt and Blaine want to hug, then they can."
"But my mummy told me that boys can't be wit' ot'er boys!" Justin informed her, Miss Pillsbury pulled him to the side and had a chat with him. Kurt and Blaine moved away from each other quickly and carried on drawing, embarrassed now that the rest of the class were looking at them.
They continued in complete silence until Miss Pillsbury called them over to the tables for lunch.
"What did 'ou dwoor?" Blaine said, looking over at Kurt's piece of paper,
"Oh, it's nothing" Kurt said, pulling it close to his chest and then walking over to throw it in the bin. Blaine looked at the paper amongst the rubbish, all scrunched up and shot Kurt a confused look. Kurt ignored him, "Lunch time, what did 'ou bwing?" He changed the subject, even though Blaine had only just met this boy today, he couldn't help but feel bad for Kurt. He could tell something was wrong. Had he said something?
Kurt and Blaine went to the lunch tables and ate their food next to each other in comfortable silence.
Blaine got up to throw his sandwich bag away. Kurt watched him walk away and felt the lack of his presence. He looked down at his lunch box and picked out a yogurt.
Blaine was about to walk back when he saw the piece of paper sitting at the bottom of the bin and felt a powerful desire to pick it out. So, that's exactly what he did. He eagerly opened up the paper and saw what Kurt had drawn. It was two stick men, holding hands. Above the left one, it said "Blaine" and above the other, it said "Kurt". Blaine felt a love for the drawing and wondered why Kurt didn't show him. He slipped it into his pocket and returned to the table with a smile.
