--Chapter One: Trying to Fly--
Six months ago if Finn had told him that he had missed him, he would have squealed with joy – in his head of course – but now after all that time had passed he could not. He wasn't even allowed to interact with his crush. Doing so was against the rules. The rules were his life now…
But the one thing he missed more than Finn was Glee. Kurt doubted he could sing now. He hadn't sung for the past six months; he had hardly even talked. These past months had mostly been devoted to screaming.
He wanted to go back to Glee but being a Pansy was against the rules… He was tough, a warrior.
Then again… He had loved Glee.
The one thing standing in his way was his father.
Oh god, he was so very scared of his father…
--Breaking the Rules--
"Uuuhhh… Dad?" Kurt bit his lip, resisting the urge to put his hand on his hip and risk being punished.
"Yes, Kurt? How was your first day of school?" A flash of warning flashed deep inside his father's eyes.
"Umm… It was alright. A girl from Glee club wanted to know if I was joining up again and said she really wanted me to come." He hoped the lie passed his dad's defenses.
His father waved a hand dismissively, "Do what you want."
Kurt wasn't sure whether that was a yes or a no, but he hoped that he could rejoin…
--Breaking the Rules--
The next day Kurt was quietly practicing in the choir room at school, not wishing for anyone to come in. His voice was rusty and raw, but he hoped he could get in to shape before Finn or another Glee member questioned him again. So far he could only manage to scrape a high E and that was being optimistic.
Even if he could sing soprano again, Kurt knew he couldn't. He was a man. A straight man that was manly and did guy stuff and definitely did not like Finn Hudson!
He did not hear the door open. He was so frustrated that he didn't notice someone entering. Instead he continued with his shaky and rather bad practice.
"You know if you try harder and practice more, you could fix your rather abhorrent singing voice."
Kurt flinched. Rachel fucking Berry was right behind him!
He whimpered lowly in his throat before burying his face in his arms.
He heard the she-devil approaching before a gentle hand rested on his shoulder. In normal circumstances Kurt would have uttered a scathing remark, but instead he just buried his face further into his arms.
After several moments of regaining his cool Kurt sat up.
Rachel gasped, "Kurt?! Oh my god, Finn had said it was bad bu-" She closed her mouth abruptly. "Um, I'm glad you're back." She smiled, and Kurt guessed that he didn't want to know what Finn had told the Glee club about him.
"N-nice to see you too," he croaked out sadly.
Her reaction to this was to pat him on the shoulder, and he decided that even though she didn't dress as well as he used to she was an alright person to be around.
--Breaking the Rules--
AN: Rachel obviously didn't recognize Kurt, just if you didn't realize and Kurt has gone through a lot of trauma and is OOC on purpose just to clear that up -.-
I'm also debating on whether to give Kurt a permanent stutter once he gets his snarky attitude back.
