A/N okay so here' chapter 3 for you (if someone's reading this and I kind of really hope someone is ). Let me know what you think.
The door to the room 12 crashed into the wall as a tall, lean, young man stormed in with a sports bag hung from his shoulder and a huge smile on his face that fell immediately when he took in the image of his roommate and big brother tangled with his boyfriend on the bed.
"OH MY GOD GUYS! I'm blind"- he cried and covered his eyes with his hand faking the pain and emotional distress that the other two boys were, supposedly, causing him.
"Shut up, Shane!"- Blaine said with a blush creeping on his cheeks but his hands were still wrapped around Kurt's waist holding him close.
"Why can't you have your dirty make out sessions in Kurt's room? If I'm not mistaken HE, unlike some people I know, doesn't share a room, therefore is not able to emotionally ruin any poor, innocent teenagers."- he put his bag next to his bed and fell face first onto it.
"While we're all aware of the fact you're anything but innocent, Shane, me not having a roommate could change today actually."- Kurt said with as much dignity as he could find while Blaine was tracing patterns on his back giving him goose bumps. Kurt's statement made Blaine stop what he was doing and look down to his boyfriend in surprise.
"Really? You never said you were getting a roommate."
"Awwww! Poor Blainey. No more loud and dirty sex for you. How will you ever survive?"- Shane teased his brother earning himself a smack in the face with a pillow that Blaine threw at him across the room.
"Idiot!"- Blaine muttered at him and turned back to Kurt who was watching them half amused and half annoyed.
"Dean Ramsey called me to her office yesterday to tell me that there's a chance that I'll be getting a roommate but it's not for sure."-he explained to the other two boys but they seemed to be quite confused.
"What do you mean it's not for sure?"- Shane asked and Blaine just gave a small nod to confirm that he wanted to know the same thing.
"Well she really didn't tell me much but from what I understand the boy is starting this school year here after some…..unfortunate events I believe she called them. She said she wanted to keep the options open so he could chose what he finds to be the most comfortable for him. She also had a single room prepared so I guess it's up to him right now"- he explained the best he could.
Shane seemed satisfied with that because he flopped back onto his bed and started humming a random tune. Blaine however seemed to be in deep thought as he lowered his head to Kurt's shoulder. After a few minutes he stood up from the bed so fast he caused Kurt to almost fall over the edge and he was now looking at him like he was about to kill him.
"I forgot to tell you…"- Blaine started but trailed off as he started going through some papers on his table, and shouted an excited "AHA!" when he found a piece of paper- "…I got an e-mail from the administrators office that said there will be a new student here this year, a sophomore, and I'm supposed to meet him at the front door tomorrow to show him to his classes and make sure he's got everything he needs. I think that could be you're potential roommate."
"I guess so. I mean how many new students we get every year?"- Kurt said moving so he could sit on the edge of the bed facing Blaine. Shane stopped humming.
"So what's his name?"- he asked his brother without bothering to get up to look at him.
"Umm….says here it's Reed Van…."- he was cut off by the inhumanly sound that came ripping from Kurt's lips.
"KAMP? REED VAN KAMP IS GOING TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL?"- he screamed scrambling to his feet looking like he's about to have a heart attack. Shane looked at him like he was insane, and truth to be told, Blaine kind of had to agree with the look his kid brother was giving his boyfriend.
"You know him?"- Blaine asked with a shaky voice not sure whether to laugh or slap Kurt across the face to get him to come to his senses.
"Know him? Of course….well not really…I mean it's Reed Van Kamp and….and his mother has…and on the last month's cover was that bag…and OH GOD…he could be in my room like right now. I have to go!"- with that he stormed out of the room leaving Shane and Blaine more confused than ever.
"Well it's good he explained it all so well before walking out."- Shane laughed.
"What the hell just happened?"- Blaine turned to his brother who just shrugged and stood up to pick up some clean clothes and then proceeded into the bathroom to take a shower mumbling under his breath about "crazy people, and weird boyfriends".
Blaine flopped back onto his bed deciding that going after Kurt while he was in an unfamiliar mood would not be a good idea so he would just lay there and wait for him to call or stop by. He rolled his eyes remembering Kurt's reaction and smiled a bit. He loved his boyfriend no matter how crazy he was sometimes.

On the second floor Kurt was inserting a key into the lock of his room with shaking hands. He took a deep breath once he heard the lock click and entered the room with a big smile on his face. The room is sadly empty. Kurt takes in his things on the desk, his book bag near it, his coat on the hanger, and his Dalton uniform hung neatly from the door of his closet. What he doesn't see however is a roommate he wanted to see. There are no signs that anyone had been in his room since he came in that morning and unpacked is stuff for the next school year. Kurt sighs and decides to go back to Blaine for the rest of the day. He'll meet Reed at school, he decides. And when Kurt Hummel decides something that usually comes true. There's always tomorrow.
-
Seven o'clock, Monday morning. The sound of an alarm clock pierces the silence. The heap of blankets on the bed starts moving as a small hand crashes on to the buttons of the clock. A mess of bed hair appears in the still dark room and Reed puts his feet on the ground tapping them as he tries to find his slippers without really having to open his eyes. He finds one of them and slips it on, he gets up from the bed and the next thing he knows he's kissing the fluffy carpet under his bed. He looks down and realizes that he had put one foot into the slipper, stood on the slipper with the other, tried to take a step like that, and failed miserably.
After he flailed a bit he got up and walked into the small bathroom to get ready for school. It was already ten past seven and he was supposed to meet Blaine in 20 minutes so he really had to be quick. He brushed his teeth, splashed some cold water onto his face to help him wake up and ran his fingers through his messy curls to try and tame them. They wouldn't cooperate though so he took a small bottle of gel from one of the cabinets and after a few minutes his curls looked soft and fell gently onto his forehead. He decided he looked well enough and went to change into his uniform.
Last night he was trying to figure out when he should get up in order to have enough time for a shower and picking out his outfit. But as he felt sweaty after arranging his room and remembering that he had to wear a uniform he decided to shower before bed and sleep a bit longer in the morning.
Unfortunately he didn't really count in the time for his inevitable injuries so by the time he left his room he fell at least 3 times and was now fashionably late to meet Blaine.
In front of the main building Blaine was trying to figure out the new kid he never saw before and simultaneously get rid of Kurt who was now obviously over the moon because of the possibility of meeting someone from the world of fashion.
"Kurt, I love you, but you are acting like a crazy person. And this kid is new here and I bet he's also very nervous and scared right now. Don't you think you should just go to class, let me help him go through his first morning here and then maybe we could call him to sit with us at lunch. What do you think?"- Blaine asked tiredly since they were bickering about this for the past 20 minutes.
"Ugh….fine Blaine"- the pale boy frowned at his boyfriend- "but if he's not with us at lunch I will haunt you down and you'll be very very sorry Mr. Anderson. Get that?"
"Look if someone knows not to get on your black list it's me ok? Well ask him to sit with us. Now go!"- he leaned in and pecked him on the lips quickly. With one last scolding look Kurt strutted to class looking forward to lunch.
As Reed was approaching the front door of the school building he saw a short, raven haired boy kiss a slightly taller one and he felt surprised that nobody was looking at them with disgust or calling them names. He figured the no bullying policy was really serious here.
He realized everyone was in a rush to get to class with the exception of the boy that was kissing his boyfriend so Reed concluded that could be Blaine and he timidly walked to him.
"H-hi. Are you Blaine?"- he asked with a small voice.
Blaine looked up from his phone where he was texting Shane to meet Kurt and himself for lunch. The boy in front of him was now looking up at him and that was something Blaine was not used to, being sho…khm…vertically challenged.
"Yes, I'm Blaine, and since you know my name that means you are Reed, right? Welcome to Dalton"- he extended his hand and the small boy took it with a bit of hesitation.
"Thank you."- he said and met Blaine's warm smile that was so surprisingly friendly that he just couldn't resist to return it.
"Well I'm supposed to show you around. We still have about 20 minutes, so that should give me enough time to show you where your morning classes are. I was thinking you could sit with me at lunch and I can fill you in with some of the school rules or we could just hang out and stuff."- he finished kind of awkwardly praying to God the boy excepts his offer so he doesn't have to face the rage of one Kurt Hummel. I mean Kurt was all sweet, and blue eyed, and adorable…most of the time. But Blaine thought he was scary as fuck when he was angry. He gestured towards Reed and the two of them entered the school building. Reed hit his elbow on the doorknob and scratched the sore spot still thinking about Blaine's offer.
"Um….thanks b-but I don't want to impose I'm sure you want to spend lunch catching up w-with your friends so I' don't want to…um…be in the way."- Reed was looking at the floor the entire time and playing with his fingers while he was tripping over his words. Why was Blaine being so nice to him? Did he really want him to join him and his friend for lunch? Maybe he just invited him so they could all make fun of him tripping and falling all the time. But when he looked at Blaine he was kind of sure he would never do something like that. At least Reed hoped so.
"Of course you wouldn't impose. As a matter of fact I think you coming might actually save my life."- Blaine said with a slightly amused voice.
"What do you mean save your life?"- Reed asked and did a little victory dance inside his head because look…the entire sentence and he didn't stutter….GO ME! he thought.
"Well don't freak out but…my boyfriend is….how do I put this….well he's a bit fashion oriented. And I told him last night that I have to meet the new student and I told him your name because I really didn't know you were like famous or anything….and he went crazy. Said something about your mom, and a magazine, and a bag…I have no idea really…and then he stormed out of the room and went to look for you."- Blaine scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and ushered Reed into a hallway on their left- "so I might have made a promise to him I would invite you to lunch with us so he could meet you. So please say yes because I really like having a boyfriend…and being alive."
Reed actually laughed at this….("and what the hell? Since when do I laugh out loud" Reed thought) and looked up at the prefect.
"O-okay I guess I could come and meet…"- he trailed off waiting for Blaine to fill in the gap with a name.
"Oh Kurt. His name is Kurt. By the way it looks to me like all three of your morning classes are here in this part of the building. It says here.."- he looked at the paper that Reed didn't even notice he had and he realized it was his schedule- "….you have chemistry, history, and English. Chem lab is the second door to your left, history is just down this hall the last room to the right, and English is on the opposite side of the first floor, that classroom has red door, for God knows what reason, so it shouldn't be a problem to find it."
Reed thanked him and looked around to see a sea of students running down the hallways trying to make the best use of the last few minutes before the class started.
"So good luck, and I will pick you up after third class to show you where the cafeteria is ok?"- he took in Reed startled expression and his eyes got soft. This boy really looked ready to pass how nervous he was.
"Hey, don't look so scared. I know it sucks to be the new kid, trust me I've been there myself. But Dalton is a great school and the people here are really nice. You'll be fine ok?"- he put a hand on Reed's shoulder and the boy flinched and shied away from his touch, eyes wide and filled with fear. Blaine remembered that Kurt told him something had happened to Reed and he scolded himself for being such an idiot and scaring the little boy even more. He smiled and acted like he didn't notice anything.
"We should get going. Don't want to be late on your first day. Good luck and I'll see you soon."- with that he started walking away when Reed suddenly realized he was being rude and scared for no reason, because Blaine seemed like a genuinely nice person.
"Blaine!"-he called after the older boy who immediately turned on his heel to face him.
"Thank you."- he said shyly and offered the prefect one of his rare smiles- "I'll s-see you at lunch."
"No problem. See you later."- Blaine answered and practically skipped away.
Reed took a deep breath and entered his chemistry lab. Most of the students were already in so he took the table at the back of the room that was unoccupied. A few minutes later the teacher entered and started the class, and Reed happily realized that nobody was sitting next to him.
He took out his notebook and started taking notes because apparently at Dalton the classes started right away…they weren't kidding...they meant serious business.
Juniors had Monday morning's first period free so by the time Shane dragged himself to the school building the bell had just rang and the hallways were flooded with students going from one classroom to the other. He stood in front of the chem lab and waited for the sophomores to finally get out. How it was possible they were still so confused and slow after the entire year at this school was beyond him. He was fixing his tie and blazer when a new face caught his attention and….OH MY GOD!
The small boy in front of him might have been an angel for all Shane knew. He definitely looked like one. He had strawberry blond curls, falling past his ears and onto his forehead looking so soft. His big, round brown eyes were looking around the hallway a bit confused as he took a piece of paper from his bag and blew lightly up to move his curls out of his eyes. He bit down on a soft looking bottom lip and looked up as if he suddenly remembered something. His cheeks were soft and pale, and he had the cutest little nose Shane had ever seen. Finally the boy put the paper back into his bag and went to the end of the hallway. He got lost almost right away because he was smaller than the rest of his class. Shane looked after him with a love struck expression on his face and he couldn't move.
"Man are you ok?"- he heard the voice behind him and turned to see Nick standing there smirking at him.
"Y-yeahwhywouldn'tIbe?"- he tried to get away from the inquisition he was bound to go through if he knew Nick at all. But as Nick was his best friend he knew Shane talked like that only when he was nervous, ashamed or excited about something so he kept pushing.
"Well you kind of look like something hit you in the head. Or should I say someone? A short, cute, blonde someone maybe?"- he asked with fake innocence in his voice.
Shane glared at him for a moment while he tried to will his mouth to stay shut but he just wasn't that kind of person.
"Oh God Nick did you see him? He was like…the most perfect thing ever? How come I haven't seen him so far. I mean he's small but I would have at least heard if there was someone that beautiful on campus. Right?"- he looked at Nick ho started laughing at his hyper friend.
"You'll see him again. Calm down. Let's get to class teenage girl."- he pulled Shane by the hand and pushed him inside the classroom but he could tell his friends mind was somewhere else. And he knew exactly where it was.
