Chapter 1: When one door closes…
A/N: I am a newly Glee fan. I didn't really like Glee, but my sister showed me Teenage Dream and I fell in love with Blaine and Kurt. So yeah… I know that this doesn't seem to be a Blaine/Kurt match up, it will be. As much as I like Wes, I love Klaine. But don't worry; Wes won't be as hurt as you might think. I'd say more but that would give away too much. I would also like to apologize. My betas were not available and I became inpatient and didn't feel like waiting so if Spell Check missed it, it's my fault. I am also in the middle of chapter two and it will be up before Sunday, if not tonight, but I wanted to go ahead and post this.
After the fantastical, if ill-fated, tragedy that was the Warbler's Gap Attack and the meaningful, but disappointing talk with Blaine about his unrequited romantic feelings, Kurt, simply put, was depressed. All the time, he thought that he and Blaine had something going on there, but Blaine, polite as he might have done it, turned Kurt down and saying he hadn't even thought of a more than friendship relationship with him. Blaine not only didn't want to be with Kurt romantically, he had never even thought of Kurt in any way like that.
That is what stung the most for Kurt. Blaine had not considered something more. Kurt felt the most unattractive he ever felt and that says a lot for a man who has the best fashion sense in Ohio. Kurt didn't even want to shop, and that had never happened. He wanted to lay around moping about Blaine. How could he have read the signs so wrong? Was he that different that he couldn't even fit in with his own kind?
Meeting Blaine and coming to Dalton was the best thing that ever happened to Kurt, or so he thought. He had thought that being around men who were has openly gay as he was, he would belong somewhere.
In Lima, he had no one. Yeah, the Glee club loved him and stood by him and yes he knew his brother, father, and stepmom would always be there to support him, but he never really fit in there. He never felt a part of anything.
In Glee club, he was always the odd one out. He couldn't relate to the guys because of his rather flamboyant personality, and Mr. Shue wouldn't let him work with the girls, and don't get him started on the drama that was Rachel.
He felt crowed and isolated at the same time. He just didn't fit in and with his family, they couldn't understand him. Finn may accepted him for "just the way he is" and be comfortable with him but that didn't mean Finn was happy to talk about the things Kurt really got excited about. His dad, as awesomely awesome as his dad is, didn't exactly know what to do with his obviously gay son. So when he was pushed out of the boys' rehearsal, which hurt and made to go to Dalton to 'spy', he'd never felt more alive.
In walked this angel. Blaine was hot with a capital H, smart, a fantastic singer, so gentlemanly, and the best thing, as flamboyantly and out there as Kurt. Someone Kurt had never met before and Kurt for the first time in his life felt like someone really and truly understood him and knew where he was coming from. So how was it that he was once again on the outside? Now he wished he never said anything. At least, he would still have hope.
And while he lay there on the couch in the Warbler's practice room, he was drawn out of his self-pity when he heard someone enter the room. He prayed to a god he didn't believe existed that it wasn't Blaine and burrowed himself further into the couch, hoping the person would get what they needed and leave without ever knowing he was here. The light was flicked on and Kurt held his breath. He looked up to Wes bending over the couch.
"I figured I'd find you here." Wes said casually.
"Why are you looking for me," Kurt moaned, "Are you here to make me feel better?"
"Well, no, not directly anyway," Wes said. "I do hope it makes you feel better, but I have to admit, my main reason is completely selfish."
"What you want me to tell you all the gossip about what went on between me and Blaine?"
"No, if I wanted that, I'd go to Blaine," Wes shrugged, "I actually wanted to ask you, if maybe you wanted to go out… with me… tonight?"
Kurt sat up in a record rate in total surprise.
"Wait, I thought you had a girlfriend and were straight," Kurt's mind was boggled, "Are you asking me on a date?"
"I did have a girlfriend, several, but I've also had boyfriends. Blaine feels that each person has a right to say what they feel and not have someone else force them to so he told the truth without telling the truth. I like both sexes and Blaine told me what you said about bisexuals but I honestly like girls and boys. Each has something different to offer and what I like about you is that you have the best of both and to be honest, I find you completely sexy."
"Wait, ME?" Kurt's mouth was open, "You find me attractive?"
"Well, yeah, my girlfriend, Allie, and I weren't going to work, even if you hadn't come along. The break-up was something a long time coming. You kind of just sped it up. I didn't saying anything before because I thought Blaine had already claimed you as his, but after today, I realized the idiot couldn't see the beautiful talented boy right in front of him."
"Me? I'm beautiful?"
"Yeah, Kurt," After a minute, "Has no one ever told you how stunning you are?"
"No, I've…No one…I'm not beautiful. When you take away my fashionable clothing and my fabulous singing voice, I am nothing."
"I don't see that." Wes sat down next to him and took his hand, "I see a beautiful, smart, and utterly sexy man. Yes, I love you in your Ralph Lauren shoes and you have an unbelievable singing range, but under all that, is a brilliant and ambitious man who hides behind his image because he doesn't want to be hurt again. I want to get to know that guy. I love the fact that you spend hours to be perfect, but you were perfect before you put on your moisturizer, clothes, and poker face. And I know you love Blaine, but I'm asking for the honor of spending time with such a perfect angel."
"I don't know what to say," Kurt couldn't think, "I've never been on a date, ever. No one has ever wanted me for anything beyond friendship. I honestly think I'm hallucinating. I've finally cracked."
"I wish I could kick the ass of every person who ever made you think you were anything less than brilliant." Wes moved his hand to Kurt's leg, "This is real and I want to give us a try."
Kurt stood up and paced for a minute, trying to not have a panic attack. He stopped short and turned to look at Wes, sitting there on the couch patiently.
"You know I'm still crushing hard on Blaine, right? I can't switch my emotions that fast."
"I am willing to wait until you're ready to move on from him."
"As long as you know that I can't give you my heart just yet, I don't see why we can't give dating a try. What will it hurt?"
Wes smiled so widely at him.
"In that case, how would you like to go to dinner with me?"
"Let me change into something that isn't a Dalton uniform and I'll be ready to go."
"Okay, I need to change to so how about I walk you to your room and I meet you back here in an hour?"
"Okay, let's go." Wes stood up and taking Kurt's hand slowly led him from the room and down the hall. Neither noticed the person who stepped out of the shadows as they walked away.
A/N: So what did you think? Was it completely horrible? Don't worry, I will write until I have nothing left to say, no matter what you say or if nothing is said at all, but advice and criticism is always welcome in a healthy constructive form.
