"You know what would be hilarious?" Nathan asked as he took his seat at the table the Warblers usually sat on. It had always been a Warbler tradition, but the members of the glee club could sit anywhere else if wished, which was something that didn't happen often. But it wasn't just the Warblers who had this tradition, it was also like this for the soccer team, the football team, the science club, and other various teams and clubs. This caused a conflict for some Warblers; Terry and Nathan were on the football team, Frank was on the soccer team, Flint was on the basketball team, James was on the hockey team and about five Warblers were in the theatre club. The sport clubs usually sat together during the season but when it was over, they returned to their usual seating spots.
Wes looked up from his history notes and took another bite of his bagel before asking him what.
"Imagine an a capella version of the song "This is why I'm hot" by MIMS."
"Well, we'll definitely keep that song in mind if Blaine wants to seduce another guy at his workplace by song. I'm thinking maybe Toys'R'Us?" David said. Blaine laughed sarcastically and gave David a death glare before turning to Kurt, who just sat down, and giving him a peck on the lips as a hello.
It amused several Warblers to see how Kurt was acting since Blaine and he began dating. He lit up like a star when they walked hand-in-hand down the hallways, he smiled after every kiss with Blaine and the smile just got bigger when he saw that no one was sending them dirty looks. He also began bonding more with the other gay or bi guys in the Warblers. He and Flint discussed boys while Trent and he talked more fashion.
He was clearly comfortable at Dalton but something seemed to be missing. The Warblers didn't notice this but Kurt certainly felt it. Dalton was all about fitting in and being one of the team. As much as Kurt enjoyed the closeness and the support of being in a team, he wanted to shine. Kurt was an outgoing person, someone who wanted attention and wasn't afraid to shine. But at Dalton, he wasn't. He was beginning to miss McKinley. If it weren't for Karofsky, he knew he would have transferred back already. In fact, he wouldn't have transferred at all.
Yes, Kurt did love the Warblers. If he transferred back, which he wasn't going to do any time soon since he was still terrified of Karofsky, he would stay in contact. He had all of their numbers and they all seemed to be comfortable and friendly with him. Several days ago, he got a text from James that said 'Just saw a really pretty n pink balloon the zoo. Dno y but it reminded me of you. Probably because ur both fab' and he got another one three minutes later 'also saw a clown that looked like Blaine. It was short n had his eyebrows. I'm gonna start calling u ClownBalloons instead of boyfriends now' James didn't keep his words. Like Brittany, he forgot things easily, so Kurt made a mental note not to remind him of this.
"Half an orange, Thad? Really?" Chris asked when Thad sat down next to Wes with his breakfast.
"I'm not really hungry." Thad murmured in response and rubbed his eyes.
"Are you okay? You look kinda tired." Chris asked.
Thad looked at him with annoyance. "I'm fine. I just didn't get much sleep last night. I've just been having a lot on my mind, what with Regionals coming up."
"It'll be fine Thad. We're kind of awesome in case you didn't know." Jeff said. Thad turned to glare at him.
"Yeah, mhm. Where's your boyfriend, Romeo? And do you have any idea where he was last night?"
"On his way." Jeff replied. He almost added mockingbird at the end of the sentence, but decided against in since he was hoping to get a solo soon. "We were watching a movie last night with Flint and he fell asleep halfway through it."
"May I guess, he looked so damn cute you didn't dare do anything to disrupt that and just let him sleep in your arms instead?" Wes asked.
"Okay, how did you know that?" Jeff asked and took a bite of his toast.
"He's psychic, I told you that." James said.
"For the last time, James, I'm not psychic! I'm just good at guessing and figuring things out. I mean, this thing wasn't hard to figure out," he said, pointing to Jeff. "it's like putting a and b together."
James looked at him in silence for several seconds before turning to Chris. "I bet it's an Asian thing." Chris smiled warmly towards him.
"Wait, wait, wait." James said, looking like he just discovered something extraordinary. "Does that mean Blaine has one too? I bet it has something to do with his eyebrows."
"Yeah, 'cause that's not racist at all." Chris said, still smiling, and nodded slowly.
"It isn't. Being racist is like being against and undermining, right? I'm not doing that! In fact, I'm making them look even more interesting."
"And since when do I need your help to look more interesting, James?" Wes asked and leaned back in his seat. David, who was sitting across from him, smiled goofily and turned to James, giving him his full attention.
"Since two minutes ago. Pay attention, Wes!" James said. Wes raised his eyebrows and gave James a ridiculous look. James laughed and shook his head.
"Chill, Wes, it was a joke. You know I love you," he said, but after seeing that Wes was still giving him a ridiculous look, he added "and your natural awesomeness."
Wes looked more satisfied at his words and turned to Kurt. "I've been thinking, since we are on friendly terms with New Directions,"
"Haha, Nude Erections!" Terry said from the other side of the table, but loudly enough so all the Warblers and several other Dalton boys, who gave their table a weird look, heard.
Wes sighed, "Like I was saying, since we are on friendly terms with New Directions, that after Regionals, we might have a friendly sing-off or just perform for each other sometime, since we won't be competing against them. Unless we tie again, which is very unlikely."
Kurt smiled. "I'd like that. I also believe they would like it too."
"Kicking their ass is going to be so much fun." Jeff said.
"Asses, Jeff. New Directions isn't made up of a single person." Nick said, who had taken the seat next to Jeff a while back.
"Seriously guys, just get married already." Chris said. Nathan caught Nick's attention, pointed at himself and mouthed 'best man'.
Nick looked confused. "I'm sorry, but how does me saying that make us married?"
"It just does, shh, Nick." Chris said and turned to Jeff. Nick threw his hands up in defeat, earning a laugh and a pat on the back from Nathan.
"Us? What about them?" Jeff said and pointed at Kurt and Blaine. Blaine's hand was on top of Kurt's and he was whispering something into Kurt's ear, who was slightly blushing, but had a big smile on his face.
"Make it a double-wedding!" David said.
"Yeah, like Kurt would share his special day." Trent commented. "I'm leaving. I don't want to be late for class again. Mrs. Turnman already doesn't like me for not turning in my paper on the right time."
"Crap, Trent, what paper? Crap!" James said with wide eyes.
"I'll help you. You'll just turn it in her folder by five today, alright?" Trent said, throwing his now-empty strawberry smoothie in the trash.
"I'm gonna write "lifesaver" on your gravestone." James said before gathering his bag and leaving the dining hall. Trent paused and looked after James figure in confusion and turning to the table again with the same expression. He then shrugged and followed James out of the hall.
The dining hall was emptying quickly, since there were only a few minutes until the classes begun.
"C'mon, we don't want to be late for English, I'd like to get good seats." David said, giving Wes a soft punch on his shoulder. The seniors who all had English stood up from the table and started leaving, followed by some of the Warblers who were in other classes as well.
"Aren't you gonna finish your tiny orange?" Chris asked Thad. The orange remained untouched on the table.
Thad didn't turn around to meet his gaze. "Not hungry," he simply said and rushed out of the hall. Chris shot Blaine a worried look, but he just shrugged in response.
