Ch.9*A New and Unexpected Friendship*

Kurt's POV

Seriously? How was this his life? Why was he surrounded by people who could not put their petty differences aside long enough to have one little dinner? They had guests and this is how they choose to behave in front of them? Kurt had to fight back angry and disgusted tears as he all but ran back to his bedchamber. Once inside, he threw himself on his bed, grabbed a nearby pillow, and screamed into it. He had never felt more humiliated then he did in that moment. His head shot up from the pillow as he heard a loud thumping on the door. Timidly, he stood up and opened it to reveal none other then Lady Rachel Berry.

"Oh, Lady Rachel! How may I help you?",he asked politely even though he just wanted to be left alone.

Rachel smiled warmly at him,"I am here to help you, Prince Kurt. I saw how upset you were before you left the dining hall and I thought you could use some company. You look like you need someone to talk to and I just want you to know that i'm here if you ever need me."

Kurt, shocked, nodded before stepping aside and allowing her inside. She walked in and sat at the stool in front of his vanity, facing him,"So they were all acting like a bunch of immature fools! No offense to your family, of course! I felt like I was watching a pack of wild animals attacking each other and the only thought I had was, aren't we all supposed to be adults? We are royals, nobles, and knights and here they are acting like they're fighting their wives secret lover in a bar or something. Highly undignified and stupid if you ask me!",Rachel said with a roll of her big, brown eyes.

Kurt smiled,"I agree! Which is why I simply had to leave! I have never been more humiliated! How dare they act like that and especially in front of guests! I apologize that you, Lord Wesley, and Sir David had to witness such impropriety! They are normally not like that I promise! Well, at least, not in front of others. Quinn and Katherine usually just give each other dirty looks and snide comments. Father and Carole usually discuss things with Viceroy William in the throne room and leave it at that. And I am assuming that Blaine and Sebastian know each other from Dalton and do not like each other very much?"

Rachel nodded,"They have despised each other from the moment they met. Not to mention that Cincinatti and Westerville are rival countries and have been for centuries. I believe it all goes back to a hatred between two kings of these countries for a reason that no one really knows and has just continued on through the two families and branched out to the kingdoms, as well. I think that that is a major reason that Sebastian and Blaine hate each other, as well as, other things that happened during our time at Dalton. But that does not matter right now because there is no excuse for either one of their behaviour tonight. They are the ones who started all of the fighting by making everyone else tense and uncomfortable. They were making complete asses of themselves!"

Kurt was shocked by her crude language and brutal honesty but found her very endearing and amusing. "I think I am going to grow rather fond of you, Lady Rachel."

She beamed,"It's just Rachel and the feeling is very mutual,Prince Kurt! I think we are going to become fast friends!"

Kurt giggled at her,"It is just Kurt and you are right! Although it is a very unexpected friendship I must say."

Rachel's head fell back as she laughed,""Indeed! No one would ever expect the gay, stubborn Prince and the crude, manlike noblewoman to become friends!"

Kurt smiled back but it came out forced as he continued to think of the failure of a dinner they had just left. Rachel, noticing his expression became gloomy again, got up to sit next to him on the bed,"Kurt don't let them get to you. They are all stupid for behaving that way! I for one am very dissappointed in my cousin Blaine! He never behaves like that! Although, Sebastian does bring out the worst in him that's for damn sure! Especially, since Sebastian was trying to keep you away from him! Blaine was serious when he told Sebastian that it was love at first sight for him. The moment he saw you, Kurt, he was a goner!"

Kurt blushed,"That may be true and I know that Sebastian loves me to. I honestly do not want to be around either one of them tomorrow!"

Rachel pursed her lips in thought,"Well, what about you and I spending the day together? We can get out of the palace and get to know each other better while you show me what Lima has to offer."

Kurt's smile could have melted a glacier,"Rachel that sounds perfect! And thank you so much for coming here to check on me. It means a lot to me!"

Rachel placed her hand on his and squeezed,"That's what friends are for, Kurt! Now we should probably get some rest! We have a busy day tomorrow! I will be back here in the morning at say, 8?"

Kurt nodded,"Sounds great, Rachel. Goodnight!"

Rachel opened the door and waved as she said,"Good night, Kurt!"

She shut the door and Kurt was left alone once again. He smiled as he prepared for bed thinking of how exciting the next day was going to be. He had never had a real friend before, besides Katherine, and was looking forward to finally having someone, outside of family, who he could depend on.
