Kurt woke up bright and early the next morning. After taking a shower he entered his enormous walk in closet and went to work looking for the perfect outfit. While he did do this every morning, he put extra care into today's outfit. Finally deciding on white skinny jeans and a maroon V-neck T-shirt, topped off with a dark grey scarf, he headed down stairs for breakfast.

In the kitchen he found his dad sitting at the dining table with coffee and a newspaper. "Morning dad."

Looking up from the paper he smiled, "morning Buddy." Kurt went around the kitchen making himself toast to take to school.

As his toast popped Finn entered the room yawning. He set about making himself breakfast as well when Burt broke the sleepy silence.

"Listen boys, I'm going to be home a little late tonight, and Carol has a double shift later. Will you guys be ok fending for dinner?"

Kurt scoffed. "Dad I cook most of the meals this family eats anyway." Burt chuckled at that and got up from the table to leave for work. "Besides," Kurt continued, "we have glee tonight so I'll probably just pick up take out on the way home."

At this Finn looked confused. "No we don't. We had Glee yesterday."

"And we'll have it today too. Blaine's auditioning today." Kurt smiled at the prospect of making a new friend.

"Who's Blaine?" Said Burt, stopping at the kitchen door to hear the conversation. Burt had made sure he had gotten to know all of Kurt's friends, just happy that he had any. Every time he heard a new name he got excited, happy that his son had a big group of people to rely on.

Kurt's smile grew bigger. "He's a new transfer student from a private school called Dalton academy. He said that it's an all-boys school, and that he was a part of the show choir there."

"Well it's nice that you guys are getting more members for your club." Burt said as he picked up his keys and headed for the front door. "Have a good day boys." He shouted as he slammed the door behind him.

"Hey Kurt, I have a question?" Finn asked somewhat hesitant. Kurt gave him a look as in to say continue, and he did. "Well I was wondering what your mind set was with getting Blaine to join the New Directions."

Kurt just stood there staring at him. What did that mean? His face must have held a funny expression because in the next instant Finn was laughing.

"Dude, do you like him?" Finn had a slight smile on his face when he asked, like he was trying to be funny, serious, and sympathetic all at the same time.

"well Finn," Kurt started, "I have only ever spoken to him for one day. Yesterday, at that. But he seems like a nice guy. I wouldn't say I have feelings per say, But I don't not like him I guess." Kurt's declaration startled himself. Did he like him? "Anyways it's too soon to tell. I don't know him Finn."

Finn Chuckled again. "Well dude for not liking him, your very long answer kind of makes me think otherwise." With that he left the room heading for the front door.

Kurt stayed in the kitchen a bit longer, waiting to hear Finn's car leave. When it did he went out to his own car and started towards school. the whole way there he continued to think about Finn's words. Confusion and curiosity were the main emotions and they were still there when he got out of his car in the school parking lot.

Then it hit him. The feeling of being watched. Usually when he got to school it was the longing feeling, like someone wanted to approach him but didn't have the nerve. Today it was a hateful feeling, burning into his back.

Kurt shivered, then continued his way towards the main doors. He had promised he'd meant Blaine before first period and he wasn't going to let some bully get in his way.

Blaine was at his locker when he saw Kurt down the hallway making his way over. He almost did a double take when he saw the boy in the tight white skinny jeans. Blaine himself wore skinny jeans on occasion but he knew he could never pull them off as well as Kurt did.

Realizing it was rude to stare, he turned back to his locker and chanced a glance at his mirror. For his audition today he decided to wear his neon green jeans with a long sleeve black shirt. But being him, he couldn't walk out his front door before running back and getting a white and green checkered bowtie.

"Hey" said a voice behind him. Blaine turned away from his reflection to see Kurt leaning on the lockers like he had the day before.

"Good morning." He said in return, and with an unspoken agreement, they started walking to class. After walking for a few minutes they realized that their first two classes were right across the hall from each other. Laughing, they walked into Kurt's room and sat down at a table.

"And how was your morning Blaine?" Kurt asked after a second of silence. The atmosphere wasn't awkward, but comfortable wasn't the right word to describe it either.

"Good, good." Blaine answered, trying to cut the tension. "Nothing too exciting happened. I am excited though to audition for glee today."

Kurt perked up at the conversation change. "Oh? Well what are you auditioning with?"

Blaine smiled at Kurt's interest. "Nope. Can't say. It's a secret."

Kurt then put on an over dramatic pout. "Please? I promise I won't tell anyone. Please Blainey?"

While chuckling through Kurt's pleas he paused on the nick name. No one had ever given him a nick name before, well one that wasn't offensive. He wasn't quite sure he liked it.

He then looked over at Kurt and saw that he was trying to make big puppy sad eyes. Wow, his eyes were really blue. Beautiful.

Yeah, Blaine liked the nick name.
