Hi everyone! Here is another chapter before tonight's episode with a little Klaine from the old good times (2x06).

Thank you for reading my story and for the reviews, too. They mean a lot to me.

Suagr: The answer is in this chapter.:)

Kurt stepped into the room nervously. It was Sunday, he and Finn visited Dalton, and the principal suggested to take his things with him and pack out before the school begins on Monday. He did so. He packed two suitcases for the week – no, it's not so much, even if he had to wear a uniform during the day; skin care products, clothes, etc. - and after a trip in the school they went to his room. His roommate wasn't there, the principal said he would come back around 7, so Kurt had three hours just for himself.

"Okay, I leave you alone for now. Are you sure you're going to be fine?" Finn asked with so much concern as only parents had. But Kurt thought it was nice.

"I'm fine, Finn. I won't even have enough time to pack out before my roommate arrives. And I'm sure we will need some time to get to know each other."

"But if he is rude or makes weird things as sticking his toothbrush into his nose, just call me and I will make sure you get another room. Okay?"

Kurt laughed.

"I think these privat school boys don't stick toothbrushes into their nose, but if he makes anything weird I will call you."

"And please record it for me" Finn said with a smile.

"I can promise you now that I won't" Kurt replied and went to his half-brother. He would give a hug for his father, but Finn was another case. They had a great time in the past few days, but he didn't know the man well enough. It would be weird.

"Come on, little brother" Finn said and as if he could read Kurt's mind he pulled the smaller boy into a hug. "Remember, call me" he said and went to the door.

"I will" Kurt said and watched as Finn left the room.

"And don't try to seduce your roommate" Finn had called back from outside before he shut the door. Kurt rolled his eyes.

At 7.03 the door opened again. Kurt was watching a show on his tablet because he had finished unpacking about fifteen minutes ago. He sat up on his bed to see the new comer. It was a brunette boy, maybe a little shorter than Kurt.

"Hey! You must be my new roommate. I'm Nick" he said and stepped closer. Kurt stood up and reached out his right hand for Nick to shake it.

"Yes, I'm Kurt" he said with a small smile.

The other boy – Nick – took his hand and shook it. He smiled a little, too, but then suddenly his eyes widened and stared at him suprised.

"Is... there something wrong?" Kurt asked uncertainly.

"No! I mean... Do you know you have a heartbeat?" Nick asked.

"Of course" Kurt laughed.

"I didn't know humans can go to this school" Nick murmured as if he hadn't uderstand it.

"I'm not human. Well, not 100 percent human. My father was a human but my mother was a vampire" Kurt explained.

Nick looked at him as if he were the most fantastic creature of the world, which made Kurt really uncomfortable. Nick should have noticed it because he tried to look more friendly.

"I'm sorry but I've never met a real dhampir. I only read of your existence."

"I thought it wasn't that rare" Kurt said nervously. He didn't want to be the freak in this school, too. It was horrible enough in his last one.

"Oh, that's really rare. Most of the vampires would never take a human as their mate. It' just... weird, you know?"

Kurt felt even more uncomfortable and Nick must have seen it.

"Hey, it's not a problem. The guys here are really cool. I think they will like you."

"I hope so" Kurt said. He wanted to change subject. "So... there aren't any humans here?"

"Of course not. This is a full vampire school... well, it was, but now we have you.There are some schools only for vampires in Ohio because the community is pretty big. Three, to be exact. Dalton, Mckinley and Carmel. But we are the best" Nick said with a big smile. "We need this institutions because the vampire teens are as bad as the human ones, if not worse. There were incidents a few years ago, some vampire kids bullied a guy in their school and it was so bad that one day they accidentally killed him."

Okay, Kurt promised himself that he won't freak out because of the vampires but how could he not now? In his former school, he had some kind of protection because of his mother's heritage, but he will never be as strong as a pure vampire. He could see in front of his eyes already. Big, bulky football players chasing him through the corridors...

"Does Dalton have a football team?" he asked suddenly. Nick stared at him as if he had two heads.

"Excuse me?" he asked.

"Nothing. Just forget it" Kurt said.

There was silence for a short time, then they heard a knock and the door opened. A taller guy with blond hair – which wasn't natural, Kurt was sure of it – stepped in, pulled Nick to him and kissed him.

"Hey, babe. Missed me?" he asked and gave Nick another kiss.

"Hi" Nick greeted him after he had pulled away. "This is Kurt, my new roommate" he gestured towards Kurt.

The blond guy looked at Kurt and smiled widely.

"I'm Jeff. So you're the new guy? That's cool, Nicky really needed a roommate. I volunteered to move in with him, but the principal thought we would distract each other from school work. I don't know why, it's not like we couldn't have sex if we want..."

"Jeff, enough" Nick hissed into his ear as he saw Kurt's face redden. The blond looked at Kurt, too, and his smile suddenly disappeared.

"Dude, you have a heartbeat, do you know that?" he asked.

This will be a very long year, Kurt thought as he sighed.

~ o ~

Kurt was walking down the stairs after his classes on Monday. His first day was really hard. Most of his schoolmates looked at him like he had 'freak' tattooed on his forehead and he heard questions about his heartbeat more often than about his name. The most friendly person so far was his roommate. Nick didn't ask stupid questions anymore because he saw it made Kurt really uncomfortable. So they had talked mostly about Nick in the evening. Kurt had learned that Jeff, the weird blond guy, was Nick's mate. They had been together for 3 years and they were mated, which meant they had chosen each other for the eternity. Kurt couldn't believe it really worked so long because he didn't believe in this whole soulmate thing – maybe because he never had a relationship – and he had seen so many divorces. But Nick said it was a vampire thing and probably Kurt will also find a mate soon.

To be honest, it would be great to have someone to love. He was so alone. If he had a boyfriend, they could go on dates, give each other little gifts, and soft kisses, and everything would be so perfect as in his favourite musicals. He wanted romance.

He couldn't think longer about his dreams because he almost reached the end of the stairs and he heard voices. Like some of the boys had been singing. And they were really good. Everybody else was running down the stairs next to him fast, hurrying down the corridor, but Kurt didn't understand why. So he asked the first guy he could accost.

"Excuse me" he said and the boy, who was only a few steps afore him turned around. He was really good looking with dark hair and golden eyes. "Hi. Can I ask a question? I'm new here."

"My name's Blaine" the boy said and hold out his right hand. Kurt reached out and shook it after a second hesitation.

"Kurt" he said. Was it electricity he felt? He pulled his hand back quickly. "So what exactly is going on?" he asked the question why he accosted Blaine and tried not to stare at him.

"The Warblers" Blaine explained. Kurt didn't know what he was talking about and Blaine could have seen it because he continued. "Every now and then they throw an impromptu performance in the senior commons. It tends to shut the school down for a while."

Kurt was suprised. He was a member of his former school's choir and it was like a social suicide.

"Wait, the glee club here is kind of cool?" he asked to make sure he heard it correctly.

"The Warblers are like rockstars!" Blaine said enthusiastically.

Kurt raised an eyebrow in disbelief. That couldn't be correct. He didn't reply, though, so after a moment Blaine took his hand.

"Come on, I know a shortcut" Blaine said and began pulling him towards the Warbler's room.

There was a quite big crowd in the room by the time they had arrived. The boys were pushing the furniture out of the way to make room for their performance. But when they spotted Kurt, they stopped for a moment and stared at him.

"I stick out like a sore thumb" Kurt murmured. Blaine smiled at him and reached out to touch Kurt's brooch, which he was wearing on his jacket. It was a gift from his mother before she had died and Kurt thought it would give him enough strength to survive the first few days.

"Maybe it's your jacket, new kid" Blaine teased with a wink. In the backgroung, the Warblers started singing their song, so Blaine took a step back. "Now, if you'll excuse me" he said and started singing.

Before you met me, I was alright

But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life

Now every February you'll be my Valentine, valentine...

They were really good. They boys danced in union, like they had practiced this song for ages. And Blaine... he was fantastic. His voice was the most beautiful Kurt had ever heard. He could just listen to it all day.

You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream

The way you turn me on, I can't sleep...

Kurt looked around. Everybody was dancing in the room on the rhythm of the song and he realised he was doing the same. That was new. Back in he other choir, their coach was crazy. She had only accepted classical music and they had to practice their songs like soldiers but they never were good enough for her. And they had never danced. But these guys were really cool, as Blaine had said. He wanted to join them.

The song ended and the audience started applauding. After the applause had died down, some of the boys went closer and hugged each other. Kurt stood there unmoving, his eyes never leaving their leader.

"Latte?"

Blaine offered Kurt the drink and slid it across the table. He had asked Kurt after the Warbler performance to drink a coffee with him and Kurt was more than willing to accept it.

"Thank you" Kurt murmured and sipped his coffee.

"So... I saw you have some problems with fitting in" Blaine came straight to the point. Kurt looked up and stared at him for a long moment before nodding.

"I think you noticed I'm not a standard student" he said quietly. Blaine laughed.

"Yes, you are really not like the rest of us. It's not bad, just... interesting."

"So are you going to ask why?" Kurt asked. He found it weird that Blaine was the only one who didn't attacked him with questions about his origin.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want" Blaine said sincerely.

Kurt didn't want to speak about it first. It was good to have someone else besides Nick to have a normal conversation with. However, Blaine deserved to know some things about Kurt, and he thought he could trust Blaine.

"It's okay. You would find out sooner or later, I think. So I'm just half vampire. My mother was one, but my father was a human. That's why I have a heartbeat and I'm not exactly like you."

"So you are a dhampir, if I'm correct? That's really..."

"Interesting?" Kurt offered and Blaine laughed.

"Yeah. I know some of the guys didn't behave themselves properly, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who never met your kind before. I thought it was just some fairy tale from the Balkan."

"I know. That's why nobody knew in my former school about my true self. I could hide it in front of humans but the vampires aren't the same. Do you know how many times I had to answer the questions about my heartbeat since I'm here?"

Blaine smiled a little, but then his features became serious.

"You know, the guys here are really cool. You just have to get to know them. I had a really hard time before I came here and they didn't judge me. It's like a safe heaven for people like me."

"People like...?"

"I'm gay, Kurt. And before I came here, my father forced me to go to another vampire school. And I had a really hard life back there. The homophobes made it their mission to change my life into a living hell."

"I'm so sorry, Blaine" Kurt said and took Blaine's hand.

"It's fine, I'm over it now. And I've learned how to defend myself, so they can't hurt me anymore" Blaine said and squeezed Kurt's hand for a moment.

"You know, I'm gay, too" Kurt said suddenly. He thought it would be the best if Blaine knows.

"I know" Blaine said with a smile. As Kurt gave him a suprised look, he continued. "Let's just say your brooch gave you away."

Kurt touched his brooch for a second.

"Well, this uniform is kind of boring. I had to do something about it" he said with a smile.

"You're right" Blaine smiled, too, and then stood up. "I would like to stay and talk with you but I have boxing practice. Maybe we could see a movie tomorrow? After classes?"

Kurt nodded a little too quickly.

"Yeah, I would like that."

They changed numbers and Blaine left. Kurt stayed to finish his coffee, smiling widely.
