A/N Sorry for the delay in posting this, I've been sick, and lost my muse for a few days. I hope you are enjoying this story.

Blaine just sat there for a moment staring at the pale boy. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Please, Blaine. I need to know if what I feel is real."
He finally nodded, and stood, taking Kurt's hand to lead him from the coffee shop, but as they reached the door, they found their way blocked by a tall, cocky looking teen, who smiled arrogantly at Blaine.
"Well hello, there, good looking. Dalton boy? Sweet. I'm Sebastian Smythe, I'll be starting there tomorrow." He reached his hand out to Blaine, completely ignoring Kurt. The pale boy frowned, and stepped in front of the shorter boy.
"Hello, I'm Kurt, and this is Blaine. Excuse us, we were just leaving." He tried to move past the stranger, who still hadn't looked away from the curly haired boy.
"Why in such a hurry? Why don't you stay for a while? Your girl friend here can go if they want, while you and I get better acquainted."
Blaine was shocked by the new boy's forwardness. "I'm sorry, I can't stay. My Boyfriend and I have some homework we need to work on. We'll see you around school."
"Count on it, Handsome." As Blaine and Kurt moved past him to the door, his next words sent chills down their back. "I'll be hunting for you."
…
They sat in Kurt's dorm room in silence for several minutes, both lost in thought. "It doesn't necessarily mean he's the Hunter."
Kurt looked over at the other boy, contemplatively. "True, but how often do new students transfer mid semester? When I came here last week, I heard a lot of comments about it being a rare occurrence. Now there is a second one in less than a week? I don't believe in coincidences."
Blaine sighed. "Neither do I. I'll keep an eye on him."
Kurt leaned back against his headboard, still lost in thought. Blaine watched him from where he perched on the desk chair. "It's almost time for dinner. Do you want to go down to the dining hall now?"
Kurt looked up at him, confused. "I thought we were...?" He vaguely indicated his throat.
The curly haired boy stood, smiling. "We can do that later. Let me feed you first."
They walked down stairs, holding hands. Kurt blushed as they passed Wes, David, Nick, Jeff, and Trent in the hallway, each of them taking note of the two boys' clasped hands. Something niggled at the back of Kurt's mind.
"Someone here knows what you are," he began, speaking in a barely audible whisper. "Someone tipped off the Hunter."
"Yes. I need to find out who."
They entered the dining hall and gathered their trays. Kurt couldn't help feeling as if someone was watching him. He had to fight the urge to look around, to try and pin point the source. They sat at a large table with some of the other Warblers, and he tried to relax.
'So, how long has this been going on?" Wes asked, indicating their clasped hands.
Blaine smiled and actually blushed as he answered. "About twelve hours, give or take."
The handsome Asian boy smiled. "I'm glad. Maybe now you'll stop moping around all the time."
As they ate, the other Warblers laughed and joked, and then someone started humming, and Nick broke out spontaneously in song.
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
The dark haired Warbler made silly faces at the blonde Jeff as he sang.
Then I saw his face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave him if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Jeff laughed and took over the vocals, teasing the other boy back, before they both began singing to Kurt and Blaine, getting in their faces and doing their best embarrass the other two boys.
Then I saw his face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave him if I tried.
Love was out to get me
Well that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
But then I saw his face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, I'm a believer!
I couldn't leave him if I tried.
I'm a believer, I'm a believer yeah yeah
Kurt couldn't help laughing at their antics, for the moment forgetting episode of the Twilight Zone his life had become. Surely none of these boys were the Hunter, or the one who had called them in. They spent the next hour laughing and singing a few other songs, much to the pleasure of the rest of the boys in the dining hall.
As dinner was coming to an end, Kurt noticed a familiar face among the onlookers. He nudged Blaine and whispered, "That's him, that's the boy who bumped into me this morning. I'm sure he's the one who slipped the note into my book."
Blaine looked over at the boy, and his entire demeanor changed. Kurt realized that Blaine was no longer in charge. The Other had returned.
