It took all of Kurt's will to tear his eyes away from the wings. They looked just like his own, only slightly bigger and stronger.

He made up his mind to pretend to be a normal human in front of this guy, so that he doesn't scare him. He dragged his eyes down to his neighbour's face, where his breath was taken away. Mercedes was right, this guy was cute. He had dark brown hair gelled to a side, with an oval face which featured a pair of gorgeous hazel eyes. Those eyes.

Kurt realised he was staring, and quickly composed himself. He held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you, er, Blaine?" the boy nodded. "My name is Kurt, Kurt Hummel." Blaine reached for Kurt's hand and shook it.

"Nice to meet you too, Kurt," replied Blaine. Kurt noticed how big his companion's hands were. "I suppose it is lunch time, right?"

"Oh, yes. Yes it is." Kurt quickly said. This boy was too much for Kurt. He was both good looking, and a wing carrier. "Why don't we head out and I'll show you around?"

Blaine shook his head. "Well your principal already did that earlier on."

"Well, I'll introduce you to my friends then." Blaine nodded, then followed Kurt out the door.

Kurt managed to give Blaine a discreet once-over, to check what he was wearing. With a sky blue v-neck t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts, this guy looked like he was going to the beach. If Blaine wasn't new, then Kurt would have definitely pointed out to him that what he was wearing was below standards in Kurt's book. He refrained, as he didn't want to come off as creepy, and he didn't want to insult the new kid. Upon further subtle inspections, Kurt realised that his companion's shirt stretched slightly on its owner's stomach, displaying toned abdominal muscles. Kurt quickly pulled his eyes away and tried not to think about them.

They arrived at the courtyard a few minutes later, only to be swarmed by the New Directions, all asking about the boy following Kurt. There were many remarks being aimed at Kurt and his companion, such as "Kurt! He was the boy I saw during Biology, remember?" from Mercedes, "Who is he?" asked by Finn and Rachel, and "Hey hotstuff, wanna piece of this?" from Santana, which was aimed at Blaine.

"Guys, wait. Before you all drown him in your ocean of questions, this is Blaine Anderson. Blaine, this is the McKinley High Glee Club, the New Directions," yelled Kurt amongst his fellow Glee-clubbers. "We're probably the only decent people around here." he added for Blaine.

Kurt pretended to not notice the way Blaine's wings relaxed, as they flattened themselves on their carrier's back so they looked like those fake wings humans could buy for dress-ups, except bigger and more realistic. Kurt thought of his own wings. He wanted to release them so badly to show that Blaine wasn't the only one. But he knew that his father wouldn't be happy with him, exposing his wings to an almost-complete stranger.

"Nice to meet you, New Directions." said Blaine in a smooth voice, which made some of the girls swoon. Rachel stepped forward and offered a hand.

"Blaine Anderson, my name is Rachel Berry. I, as well as Finn Hudson," she gestured with her other hand, "are co-captains of the New Directions. Do you sing?" Blaine shook her hand and glanced between her and the co-captain.

"Well, yes, I guess I can. I was in my old school's choir, but it wasn't much..."

"Very well. We have Glee Club meetings every few days after school in the choir room. Do you know where it is?" Blaine nodded hesitantly. "Good. We have a meeting today, and you can do your audition then."

Blaine gave a panicked look to Kurt, who told him that Rachel was always like that, and assured him that it didn't matter what song he picked, he would be accepted into the New Directions anyways, if he wanted to join, that is. Blaine replied that he would like to join them, which Kurt offered him a grin, and started introducing Blaine to the rest of the New Directions.

The group moved from where they were crowding around to sit at their usual tables. Usually, Finn, Puck and Mike would join the football players, but they decided to stay with the New Directions, just for the sake of being introduced to the new kid.

Introductions went smoothly, although there were some awkward moments when Brittany decided to deliver her one-liners. Blaine just looked at her, but decided to ignore the statements.

Soon lunch was over, and there was one lesson until Glee Club. Kurt discovered that he had another class with Blaine, but wasn't deterred by the fact. Instead, he wanted to know more about the new student.

Kurt and Blaine were sitting together for their last lesson of the day, which was English. The teacher thought it would be a good idea to let the class have free time, as it was the last week of the year.

Finally, thought Kurt. I have a teacher that understands.

With that thought, he turned to Blaine, who seemed to be staring intently at the clock above the blackboard.

"I realised you don't talk much," started Kurt. Blaine jumped slightly and looked at Kurt, eyes wide in surprise. He nodded. "But since you're new, do you mind if I asked you some questions? You don't have to answer them if you don't want to."

"Sure, but only if I can ask questions too." replied Blaine. Kurt laughed and said yes, so they started to question each other about whatever.

Kurt learnt that Blaine was 16-years-old, half-Filipino and half-Irish, had an older brother, knew how to play both guitar and piano and used to live in San Francisco. He said that he moved to Lima because his parents wanted to have a sea-change. Or was it a tree-change? Anyways, they moved here just yesterday and was happy that he made a friend already on his second day in another state.

"So I'm your friend now?" inquired Kurt, smiling while raising an eyebrow.

"Of course you are." laughed Blaine. He sighed. "What song should I sing?"

"Choose your favourite song."

"I have many favourites."

"Choose your best one, then."

Blaine closed his eyes and hummed to think. His wings lifted slightly, as if they were stretching. Kurt stared at the big feathery masses. He felt envious of Blaine, as his wings were beginning to ache inside the back of his vest. He wanted to be free. He wanted to fly. But he knew he couldn't. A memory of his mother resurfaced. A memory of Kurt standing on his table in the backyard, ready to jump off and attempt to fly. A memory of his mother running from the house to stop him. A memory of Kurt's disappointment. A memory of a story.

Please review. I love to hear your opinions.

Next chapter is a flashback. Until then, see you. :D
