Enjoy.

Kurt snapped out of his daydreaming. He quickly looked at Blaine to make sure he wasn't caught looking at the wings. Luckily, his new friend still had his eyes closed, still deep in thought. Kurt sighed in relief. He glanced at the clock.
"I see it's nearly the end of school." Kurt nearly jumped out of his seat. Blaine had opened his eyes and nearly scared Kurt with his observation. "Oh, I'm so sorry." Blaine quickly apologised for his actions.
Kurt blinked. So this guy is both polite and good-looking, he thought. I wonder what else he has to offer.
"Don't worry about it," Kurt laughed. "I was just spacing out. So, did you pick a song?"
"Yep!"
"What is it?"
"It's for me to know and you to find out." said Blaine with a smile and a wink.
Kurt blushed at the wink. He made sure that he interpreted it as an 'I'm-not-gonna-tell-you' wink, not a 'Hey-you're-cute' wink. But it could have been the other way, Kurt didn't know. Besides, Blaine looked like a straight guy. There was no chance on him flirting with Kurt if he were straight anyways. Did Blaine know that Kurt was gay?
Soon, the bell rung to signify the end of school, or the beginning of Glee Club meeting. Blaine and Kurt walked together, stopping at their lockers respectively to put away their books. Kurt's locker was closer to the choir room anyways.
Just as he was about to close his locker, Kurt was suddenly pushed straight into the lockers. He let out a small yelp, as whoever had pushed him had placed their hand right between his wings, which was a sensitive spot to all wing carriers. He re-gained his balance and spun around.
"What is your problem?" he shouted.
"Looks like you have a new friend, lady." sneered one of the football players in front of him. "Make sure you don't infect him with your fairy dust." The jock and his team mates all laughed and walked away.
Kurt shot them his signature 'bitch, please' look at their backs. Once they had disappeared from sight, he closed his locker properly and stretched his back. If it wasn't for Blaine, he would have taken off his vest to stretch his wings.
"Sorry about that," Kurt turned to face Blaine. "Just ignore those idiots." Blaine had a look of shock plastered on his face. "They won't hurt you unless they think there's something wrong with you."
"But are you alright?" asked Blaine in a concerned tone. "They pushed you right into the locker, and they called you-" He was cut off by Kurt's cold laugh.
"It's something I've gotten used to. Come on, let's go to the meeting. They'd probably worry about us."
"You should tell someone about this!" Blaine said as they started walking.
"Don't you think I've tried already?" shot Kurt. Blaine opened his mouth to say something, but Kurt's icy glare told him otherwise.
They reached the choir room in silence, where all of the other New Directions had already arrived and were chatting animatedly. Rachel was talking to Mr Schue when she saw Kurt and Blaine walk in.
"Blaine, you're finally here!" She dragged him over to where Mr Schue was sitting. "Mr Schuester, this is Blaine Anderson, the new student I was telling you about."
"Nice to meet you, Blaine," said Mr Schue. "It's nice to see that a new student has taken interest in our club on their first day of school." Blaine gave a small laugh. "So, are you auditioning today?" Blaine nodded. "Very well, Blaine, the floor is yours." Mr Schue told the club to listen to Blaine as he, Rachel and Kurt took a seat while the new student got himself ready.
Kurt wasn't surprised when Blaine sat himself at the piano. He wasn't surprised that Blaine's wings were relaxed. But he was surprised at what song Blaine had picked out.
Blaine closed his eyes as his fingers danced along the keyboard, carrying with them the familiar opening chords to a Katy Perry song.
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down, down
Kurt shivered, not because of the air-conditioning, but because of Blaine's voice. It was smooth and... perfect.
Before you met me, I was alright
But things were kind of heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February you'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Blaine opened his eyes to look at all of the New Directions, eyes hovering on each member for a few seconds.
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
Kurt couldn't stop himself from mouthing the lyrics as Blaine sung. Kurt looked around to see that many other Glee Clubbers were also silently singing the lyrics. Kurt smiled and looked back to Blaine, who had his wings out straight behind him and eyes locked on Kurt.
You make me feel like I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on, I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Kurt blushed again. He kept thinking to himself that Blaine was singing this song to him as a thank you, and not for any other reason. Besides, just because he used to live in San Francisco doesn't automatically make him gay, right?
Kurt raised an eyebrow at the singer, who raised an eyebrow and grinned in return. Kurt laughed, even though this was Blaine's audition and they had to keep silent. Most of the other New Directions looked at him, some with puzzled looks, others with smiles.
Blaine closed his eyes for the rest of the song, to the relief of Kurt. This gave Kurt a chance to stare at Blaine's flexed wings. They seemed to twitch slightly in time with the music Blaine played. Kurt wondered if his wings do that when he sung.
When the final notes faded out, everyone in the room gave Blaine a standing ovation, even Rachel. Mr Schue stood up and went to join Blaine. The teacher patted the student on the back.
"Well done, Blaine. You did a wonderful job." said Mr Schue. Blaine looked at Kurt, who gave him two thumbs up and a smile. "And congratulations." Blaine gave Mr Schue a confused look. "Welcome to the McKinley High New Directions. You've just earned a spot in this Glee club."
Everyone rushed to the front to envelop Blaine in a warm welcoming hug. There was laughter, smiles, 'Congratulations!', 'Welcome, Blaine!'s, the occasional whooping and Blaine's continuous 'Thank you's. Soon, everyone went to sit back down and Blaine chose to sit next to Kurt.
"So, everyone finished congratulating Blaine?" asked Mr Schue. Puck started to stand up, but was quickly pulled down again by Lauren. Laughs could be heard around the choir room. "Good, so now let's discuss your assignment for the week..."
Blaine's first Glee Club meeting went without a hitch. He managed to pick up pretty fast, and he even went well with everyone. Soon, it was time to go home and everyone was saying goodbye, even though they were going to see each other the next day.
"Kurt, can I talk to you?" asked Blaine just as Kurt finished farewelling Mercedes at her car.
"Sure. What's up?" Kurt replied as they started walking, side by side, to Finn's pickup.
"You know how-" before Blaine could continue, he was interrupted.
"Hey," purred Santana, accompanied by Brittany, who had pushed in between Kurt and Blaine. "Since you're new here, we decided that we would like to give you some special treatment..." Santana licked her lips and Brittany nodded. Blaine looked between the two girls and Kurt, who was rolling his eyes at the two girls.
"I believe-" Kurt was cut off by Blaine's loud laugh. Blaine laughed like he had just understood a good joke. It was different to the ones he had heard earlier. This laugh was melodious, like something expected of an angel. It reminded Kurt of his mother's laugh. And it was powerful enough that he had to stop walking and bend over to clutch at his abdomen, his wings shaking as they reached for the sky. It should've been really unattractive to laugh like that in the face of girls like Santana, but instead it made her want Blaine even more. He laughed for a few more seconds and he was out of breath. He regained his breath and straightened up. There was a grin still plastered on his face. His eyes were shining from tears of humour.
"I'm sorry." Blaine began. "I'm sorry for laughing like that. It was unexpected and unattractive. And I'm sorry, but I'll have to decline the offer you ladies' have so, so kindly given to me." Brittany was about to say something when she was cut in by Santana.
"Why on Earth not?" roared Santana as she shot Blaine a glare. Kurt tried to give Blaine a warning look. No guy had ever turned down Santana. If she wanted a guy, she would get them. But this wasn't the case for Blaine. Once again, Blaine looked between the girls and Kurt. Kurt had thought that Blaine had forgotten about him, but that wasn't true.
"Well..." Blaine had his eyes locked on Kurt once again. Once again, Kurt blushed. "It's because..." he trailed off.
"What is it?" snapped Santana. She didn't like guys rejecting her, then being slow at explaining why. Blaine gave a nervous, but amused laugh and paused.
"I'd hate to break it to you ladies, but I don't play on your team."
Kurt let his jaw drop for the fourth time that day.
Hahaha, ah... I don't know why I'm laughing, but please review. I love them. :)

Preview of next chapter:
Kurt would have jumped right into the waiting pickup, except that the car space was empty and Finn was no-where in sight.
Update on the 4th! See you. :D
