Enchanted

Damn it! Blaine had just missed the mysterious boy turning the corner. All he had witness was a sliver of flawless porcelain skin and one beautiful crystal clear sky blue eye. Blaine knew that whoever they were, they must be knew because he was sure he would have noticed such perfection if it had been at Dalton all this time.

'Hey Wes? Is there a new kid at this school? Started in the last few days I mean?'

Wes looked slightly perplexed but still answered 'umm… yeah, I think Jeff mentioned meeting someone in the corridor last period, but I don't know, I was too busy polishing the gavel'. Wes was currently holding the famous Warbler gavel in his fist, silently challenging anybody to try and touch it or take it off him.

Blaine graciously accepted the praises from the other members, and then hurried off to his room to contemplate the idea of the new boy. If he thought logically he was sure that he could work out which room he must be bunking in, but surely that would be too odd? Wouldn't it? Introducing himself to a complete stranger? He didn't know why, but there was definitely something strange about this new kid, like some sort of unknown familiarity. Plus, Blaine was terrible for wanting to know all the going's on at the school. It was one of his worst sins. This meant that he simply had to find out just who belonged to the rest of the face which he could barely see in the first place… oh Blaine, you're being stupid, he thought to himself. How can you assume you like this guy or are even interested in him when you've never actually met him? Even so, Blaine found himself thinking through recent departures to dictate which room would be empty. He could surely introduce himself as one of the welcoming committee? Or even call the new kid out on spying on him. That was a surely intriguing conversation topic... or conversation killer.

Blaine was wandering the corridors listening for what? He didn't know, but he was sure that he would find something. He knew that 189 and 205 were currently unoccupied due to Darren and Chris leaving for Florida, so maybe that was it?

He reached the end of the corridor to hear a gentle humming from the seemingly deserted 205 room. Blaine braced himself and knocked gently on the door.

The singing stopped almost instantly, but nobody came to the door. Blaine knocked once more, hoping that whoever was inside would make themselves known to him. Blaine wasn't still wasn't very good at controlling his curiosity. He knew that if the owner of this room didn't open up, he would be forced to suffer a bad night's sleep. That was just Blaine. He was over dramatic about everything.

Cautiously, Blaine heard a lock slowly click open. This was it, he thought to himself. At least now his mind would be put at rest. What Blaine didn't anticipate however, was his own reaction to person who had just materialised from behind the door.

He was beautiful in Blaine's eyes. His flawless pale skin was slightly covered by only the finest of designer scarf's which was wrapped around his fragile neck, over the Dalton blazer. His hair was perfectly styled and clearly well looked after. But aside from his perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect lips… (Blaine's thoughts wandered for a moment)… possibly this boy's most arresting feature were his eyes. They were deep and shocking; they were of a vibrant sky blue colour, interlaced with green and grey tones. Blaine was so busy admiring this boy, he seemed to forget himself for a brief moment and more importantly why he was here.

The boy in the doorway just stood in what appeared to be slight shock at the person interrupting his music. Blaine immediately gathered himself, and bashfully introduced himself to the other boy.

'Hi, I- I'm Blaine. Blaine Anderson. You must be new?' Oh well obviously he's new Blaine! Blaine chastised himself. Why was it that all of a sudden he was having difficulties stringing a sentence together?

'Hello Blaine. I'm Kurt Hummel, and yes, I just moved from Lima.'

There was an eerie silence when neither of the boys spoke, worried about the others reaction or, simply not having the knowledge of one another yet to start a vaguely interesting conversation. The last thing Blaine wanted was to come across as boring and dull on the first meeting of this boy. Thinking SOLELY of the Warbler's, it was clear to Blaine that this Kurt would make an excellent addition to the glee club, and he most certainly did not want to mess that up now.

'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to step outside my boundaries being new here, but I heard you singing from down the corridor, and I knew I had to find out where the music was coming from.' Kurt said, hugging himself close and leaning gracefully on the doorway.

'No, no. You didn't step outside your boundaries at all! Actually, I suppose this is quite ironic. I only came down here because I could hear some singing too' Blaine lied. He knew that wasn't the only reason, but it contributed ever so slightly, so Blaine didn't feel guilty about lying to the boy. He was actually situated on the other side of the building, in the newer rooms. Blaine looked around the old room at this thought. There was no way that someone as perfect as Kurt should have to live in this type of squalor. Maybe he could move in with him… it was a double after all…

'Oh.' Kurt muttered, once more bringing Blaine out of his day dreams. Blaine internally cursed himself again for letting himself become distracted by this boy. 'Well, I was just, practicing. I would like to audition for the glee club here, if that would be alright?' Kurt asked cautiously. 'I understand if it's not possible, I mean, it is the middle of the semester and regional's is coming up…' Kurt trailed off, clearly showing his more sensitive side to Blaine.

'No! Of course not! I'll fix you up an audition for as soon as tomorrow if you're interested?' Blaine asked quite exuberantly. He was a little over the top he knew, but he seemed to have trouble controlling himself around Kurt, but he had no reason why.

Kurt's face immediately lightened, and before Blaine knew it, he was being gently squeezed around the middle by the slightly taller boy.

'Thank you!' Kurt squealed, and then released a shocked looking Blaine. 'Oh sorry if that was too forward, I mean, we only just met. I must be used to hugging 'Cedes and Tina like that or something…' Kurt trailed off.

Blaine didn't know who these people were that Kurt was talking about, but that was now another mystery, that Blaine was most definitely going to find out about.

'No, it's fine. Hey, would you like to grab a coffee with me before your audition tomorrow. You can talk me through your song choice and your school at Lima. I mean, I don't know about you, but I always get a little nervous before performing and…'Blaine trailed off again nervously. He hoped Kurt would see him as a friend, even this early on in their… uhh… relationship? No. Blaine didn't have feelings for the boy; this was purely a case of friends going out for a coffee.

'Yeah, that sounds like fun! I'll meet you at the entrance after school?'

Blaine nodded, said his goodbyes, and walked back to his room, rather wonderstruck…

Oh and from me, yes, this is Blaine and Kurt's first relationship blooming for each of them. Merry Christmas!
