(2) You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This
The Moment That Your Lips Touch Mine
Blaine and Kurt walked out of Jess's office, both with radiant smiles and inwardly thanking her for making their schedules so similar. Blaine couldn't help but feel that this year would be so epic with his best friend now at Dalton.
"So," he asked Kurt. "Think you'll be dorming?"
Kurt's face fell just in the slightest. "I- I don't know." he answered honestly. "I really want to dorm here because the gas prices are crazy and the commute is pretty long, I mean, I don't know if I'm willing to drive an hour everyday. But... I'm not sure I can handle being away from my family, which includes the New Directions, for so long, you know?" Blaine nodded, though he didn't quite understand; he'd never been close with either of his parents, and all the friends he considered his family were here at Dalton.
Blaine suddenly brightened. "You can half dorm!" Kurt raised an eyebrow. What was a half dorm? As if he read his mind, Blaine answered Kurt's internal question. "When you half dorm, you have a room and a roommate, and everything, but you don't have to stay all the time. You can go home on weekends or whenever you like!"
Kurt's face brightened and he wrapped Blaine in a hug. "Oh that's perfect! Oh Thank you, thank you Blaine! I can stay here when I have important quizzes and tests, and when the schoolwork load is lighter, and on holidays, I'll go home!" He gave Blaine a quick kiss on the cheek. Kurt retracted from the hug slowly, embarrassed. "Um... Sorry... Got caught up in the moment." he said blushing.
Blaine was blushing too, and said, "It's cool... It happens." They looked at each other and laughed nervously.
"I hate to break up your little make out session," said a familiar voice. "But we have Warblers practice in about thirty minutes."
"Wes!" cried Kurt, ignoring his comment about him and Blaine. "Good to see you again!"
"You too, Kurt. Wait a second..." a smirk crawled across his face. "You're about to be our newest member..."
"Oh dear..." said Blaine as he put his hand to his forehead. "Here we go."
Kurt cautiously nodded. "You know what that means, right Blainers?" Replied Wes
"Wha- what does it mean?" asked Kurt.
"Initiation."
Kurt's eyes widened so that they rivaled those of Mrs. Pillsbury's.
"No!" said Blaine. "We are NOT initiating Kurt!"
"Aww! Come on Blaine! Just cause he's your boyfriend doesn't mean he gets special treatment! You went through it, I went through it, Jeff, Nick, Thad, David, they all went through it."
"For the last time! He is not my boyfriend! Jeez! Can't two gay guys be friends without people assuming things!"
Wes rolled his eyes. "Yes, they can. But once one guy won't shut up to his friends about the other guy he met- "oh his eyes are the coolest color! We have SO much in common! Did you know he can hit a high F? That's amazing!" -then it's safe to assume that somethings going down between them."
Blaine was gritting his teeth and his face could put a tomato to shame. "It's just..." he lowered his voice. "He's been through a lot these past few weeks..."
Wes saw the knowing look in Blaine's eyes, heard the pleading in his voice, and caved. "Fine. No initiation." Kurt breathed a sigh of relief. "But, how about a little Warblers bonding time?"
"Wes!" cries Blaine. "The last time we had a Warblers bonding, the great Ketchup Incident of '09 happened!"
"And how was that our fault!"
"In every way possible!"
Kurt interrupted the two. "I'm actually fine with a bonding..."
"Kurt," started Blaine. "You don't know what you're getting yourself into..."
"Too late!" cried Wes. "We got his permission! I'm off to spread the word! Tomorrow night 8:00 in Blaine's dorm! Warblers bonding!" Blaine opened his mouth to protest, but decided against it, deeming it useless. Wes raised his hand in the air, pointing his index finger, spun around and ran to the other end of the hallway, towards the dorms.
"Kurt," said Blaine shaking his head. "You have no idea what you just agreed to..."

Finn, Burt, and Carole were just outside Dalton Academy, the next day saying their last goodbyes to Kurt.
Burt wrapped his arms around his son. "Now, you take care of yourself... And remember-"
"I know, I know," Kurt rolled his eyes. "Nobody pushes the Hummels around."
Burt smiled. "I'm proud of you. And don't you ever forget it! Finn," he called. "Can you get the bags from the trunk?"
Finn nodded and walked over to the back and pulled out two bags: one suitcase and one small duffel bag. "Dude, you sure this is all you're taking?"
Kurt tolled his eyes. "Finn, do you know the definition of a "dude"? It's a hair... A hair on an elephant's butt... And yes this is all I'm taking. I won't need much clothes, we wear uniforms, so I just brought mostly pajamas and my skin care products. Plus, it's not like I'm dorming full time."
Everybody looked at Kurt, shocked. "Kurt Hummel," began Burt. "Not taking extra clothes? Ok, who are you and what have you done with my son?"
Kurt rolled his eyes and took the bags from Finn and wrapped his stepbrother in a hug, no awkwardness or anything. "Take care Kurt..."
Just then, Blaine came outside and met Kurt and the rest of his family.
"Hi, Mr. Hummel! I'm Blaine Anderson. I've heard so many great things about you!" he stuck out a hand politely.
Burt took his hand. "So your the Blaine that Kurt gushes about all the time!" Kurt shot his dad a look and blushed. "Thank you, Blaine. For being what Kurt needs most right now... A friend." Burt smiled at the curly haired boy and pulled him into a hug, much to Blaine's surprise. When he pulled away, Burt said, much to Kurt's chagrin, "You see Kurt, this is the type of boy you need to bring home! Polite, good looking, proper-"
"Dad!"
"What?" Burt said as he shrugged.
Kurt blushed and facepalmed himself as he shook his head. "Just- nothing, dad, nothing..." he smiled and breathed deeply. "Well, goodbye guys... I'll see you later."
He gave a last hug to each of his family members and picked up his bags as they drove off.
"Oh! Here let me help you with that." said Blaine. He grabbed the duffel bag from Kurt's grasp.
Kurt smiled at him. "Thanks." he said.
"So what room did you get?" asked Blaine.
"216" replied Kurt. "I'm going to be dorming with Nick."
Blaine nodded, thankful that Kurt didn't get stuck with one of the crazier Warblers like Jeff, or Thad, or worse, David. Blaine had the unfortunate fate of sharing a room with Wes.
They finally reached Kurt's dorm. "Do you need any help unpacking?" asked Blaine.
Kurt shook his head. "No thanks, I'm fine..." he gave Blaine a quick hug. "See you tonight at bonding."

Kurt was first of the Warblers to arrive at Blaine's room, followed by Jeff and Nick, who as Blaine explained were in a relationship. Then, by David and Wes, who were apparently in an avid bromance. Then finally, by Trent, Thad, and Nicholas.
As soon as the last of the Warblers showed up, Wes wasted no time getting straight down to business- or, funny business, more like it. He cleared his throat and held up a paper to read. "Warblers! I have in my hand, a list of THE most fun games we have ever played at a bonding!"
The list was as follows:
Hide-and-go-seek-tag-in-the-dark
Never Have I Ever
Truth or Dare
Spin The Bottle ("I thought this wasn't a gay school." asked Kurt)
Twister
Monopoly (usually ends in death threats or someone flipping the table.)
They all immediately ruled out Twister and Spin The Bottle, as nobody had a Twister game or a bottle. They eventually ruled out HAGSTITD because they were all feeling a bit lazy that day and Monopoly because they didn't want to scare off Kurt too soon. They finally decided on Never Have I Ever.
Wes, being the leader and all, decided to go first. "Never have I ever been on a plane." Blaine, Nick, Jeff, Thad, and Trent all put a finger down. Wes smirked, content with his first try.
Kurt was up next. "Never have I ever been to Dalton for the first week of school." Everybody minus Kurt put a finger down.
Blaine who was characteristically sitting next to Kurt, was next. "Never have I ever..." darn this game was hard. "Been to Colorado." nobody put a finger down. "Dafuq!" cried Blaine. He looked down at his lap. "I suck at this..." Kurt laughed and patted Blaine on his back.
Trent was next. "Never have I ever kissed another guy." Blaine, Jeff, and Nick all put a finger down. Kurt kept moving his right pinky up and down, unsure whether the Karofsky kiss even counted, and whether he was willing to admit it. He quickly decided against it, but it did not go unnoticed by David.
"Hey, Kurt! You why didn't you put your finger down it looked like you were for a sec there..."
Blaine immediately came to the rescue. "It's obviously none of your business, so drop it David!" Kurt just sat there, quiet as a mouse.
"Aww, Blainers doesn't want us talking about his make out sessions with Kurtsie over here?" David taunted.
"I. Said. To. DROP IT..." warned Blaine through gritted teeth. The room became instantly silent. Nobody had ever seen Blair this protective of anyone of anything. Including his hair gel... Once he figured he'd got the Warblers to drop the subject, he turned to Kurt and whispered, "You ok?"
Kurt nodded and said, "Let's just finish the game."
By the time they were almost finished with the game, David and Wes had been the first two out, followed by Jeff, Blaine, Trent, and Nicholas. Nick and Kurt were the last two, both with seven fingers still up.
"Damn boys!" cried David with a laugh. "Don't you have any fun?"
Both rolled their eyes and after three or four unsuccessful attempts to get each other out, they decided to call it quits.
"Finally!" groaned Blaine as he threw his head back. "I say we play Truth or Dare now." the rest of the Warblers happily agreed.
"I get to go first!" called David. "Kurt! Truth or dare?"
Kurt didn't even need to think about that one. "Truth." God knows what crazy dares they would gave come up with.
"Who was the guy you kissed?"
Kurt's face dropped. "I-I changed my mind!" cried Kurt. "I pick dare."
"Fine. I dare you to tell who was the guy you kissed."
Blaine cut into the conversation again. "David! I told you to frigging drop it! It's none of your damn business!"
"Oh, Blainers, it's just a dare, and don't be jealous that Kurt is kissing other boys! Because from what we gather, you're certainly not getting any action."
"I said drop i-"
Kurt suddenly snapped. He got up from where he was sitting. "FINE!" the whole room turned their attention to him. "You wanna know who the guy I kissed- the only guy I've kissed- is!" the room was completely silent except for Kurt. Tears were streaming down his face and his breath was shaking like his entire body. "Fine... My first kiss was forced on me by a bully who tormented everyday for three years of my miserable high school life, made it a living hell by dumping me in dumpsters and shoving me against lockers, then threatened to kill me about three weeks ago if I told anyone, forcing me to leave my other home and the people I consider my family! You wanted to know... Happy now?" He thew his arms in an outward motion. The room was dead silent as he walked out the door into the hallway.
Blaine shot David a dirty look. "Jesus David... I- just. Ugh! You frigging asshole!"
He got up and followed Kurt out of the room, who he found just outside his room, sitting against the wall, head in his arms and crying his eyes out.
"You ok?" asked Blaine.
Kurt nodded. "It's just... I'm trying to forget about it... And even without all the prying... I can't get that day out of my head..." he shook his head and sniffed.
"You don't have to go back in there you know? There's a stash of Disney DVDs in my room with your name on them if you'd like."
Kurt smiled but shook his head. "I-I want to go back in there... If only for myself."
Blaine nodded and stuck his hand out to Kurt. He took it and smiled up at the curly haired boy as he stood up and they walked into the room.
As they entered, David stood up and went straight to Kurt. "Kurt, I-" He held up a hand, signaling for him to stop.
"David..." the room held it's breath in anticipation. "I forgive you." it breathed a sigh of relief. "You didn't know. Apology accepted."
David smiled. "So... Can we continue our game now?"

So far, David had dared Wes to shout the lyrics to Katy Perry's "Peacock" down the hall of the entire west wing, Jeff had dared Nick to kiss him, receiving a few d'awwws from the Warblers and others making remarks about puking rainbows.
Everyone got hungry, so Thad dared Trent to go make everybody a sandwich. He tried to get out of it by saying, "Fine, but you don't know where my hands have been..." but nobody seemed to care.
When the sandwiches had been brought out, Nick's suddenly disappeared. He turned to his boyfriend. "Jeff?" he asked with his hands on his hips. "Where's my sandwich!"
Jeff smirked. "I AM your sandwich!" and with that he tackled his boyfriend's face, creating scattered d'awwws, laughs, and mocking gagging noises.
Wes rolled his eyes. "My turn!" he said. "Blaine! Truth or Dare?"
Blaine thought about it. For a while, nobody had picked truth and he didn't want to be the one to break that streak. "Dare." he finally decided on.
"I dare you to kiss Kurt."

A/N: I have devised a very sophisticated formula equation that determines the time span in which I update this story and which the variable X representing the amount of reviews is DIRECTLY proportional to the variable Y which represents the update speed. In a nutshell:
More reviews=Faster updates :D
