The next week passed fairly quickly. Whether that was the fact that we weren't allowed outside because of a seemingly never-ending thunder storm or the fact that everyone seemed to be getting along plus the excitement for lessons to start and therefore starting to use our powers, I couldn't decide. It's been a while since I've used mine. There were rules at the academy about 'not being allowed to use them before term starts' but I managed to find things to fill my time with.
I used this week to get to know the other people, particularly the ones who shared my dorm, even if they seemed to have their own friendship groups already. For example, 'The Unholy Trinity' which consisted of Santana, Brittany and Quinn. There were the boys who grouped together; Finn, Puck, Mike and Artie. And then there was my group, people that were becoming so very close to me, I'd almost consider saying they're my best friends. Of course I'm talking about Blaine, Rachel and Tina.
But it's Blaine who I seem to feel most comfortable talking about anything with, knowing he'll listen, which makes me feel safe. Since the conversation we had on the first night, opening up about my past to him, it all seems easy compared.
So before any of us knew it, it was Sunday, marking a week after we'd first arrived. The next day, we were going to be given our first power lesson.
So here we sit, the usual four, in Blaine and I's room watching a film and eating like we had every night the past week. However, this time we knew this would be the last time except weekends – due to curfew on weekdays - just talking about nothing and our excitement for tomorrow.
"I'm just going to put this out there; I'm really looking forward to seeing Kurt's powers in action, yours too Blaine. I mean, I've never met a multi-powerist before and now I'm sitting in a room with two, who I class as my friends." Tina said, finishing off a slice of pizza.
If you ever saw Tina amongst the other people, you would see a quiet and shy girl. But in private? She is quite the talker. Not up to Rachel's levels, but that'd be impossible. Blaine and I caught each other's eyes and rolled them in sync; Everyone seems to think that we are indestructible, just because we have more than one power. Really, we're just like them.
"Ooh! Me too! It'll be great to experience something so unique and special as you two in action! I'm also looking forward to seeing the other people's powers too - especially Finn, I think he'll be very good at his." Rachel, blushing as she stopped talking.
Finn had caught Rachel's eye since the meet and greet and she wouldn't shut up about him. The stupid thing is, I've seen the two of them have a conversation and you can tell that Finn is just as infatuated with Rachel by the way he looks at her. I try to tell Rachel and she snaps that I'm just making it up and huffs.
"Seriously?" I say, "I don't know whose worse, you talking about Finn or Tina talking about Mike. "
" I can answer that one!" Blaine pipes up, putting his pizza down, "Definitely Rachel,"
"Rachel brings Finn into every single conversation, even when the topic has absolutely nothing to do with him, whereas Tina won't talk about Mike until someone says his name, then she'll gush endlessly." Blaine finished with a proud smirk on his face. I smile, looking at the two girls sitting on the floor staring at both of us with annoyed expressions.
"Alright, we'll stop talking about our crushes and talk about yours then." Rachel said crossing her arms and giving me a knowing look. Why on earth did I tell Rachel that I like Blaine? I knew it was a mistake as soon as the words had left my mouth, but I needed to tell someone or else I'd have spilled something to Blaine that I would've regretted. Plus, I didn't really know Tina much then, so Rachel was my only option. I gave her one of my - now well known - glares of death.
"Yeah! You guys have never said who you like."
"I don't know if you realize Tina but considering Kurt and I are the only gay guys in this dorm, maybe even the academy, and the fact we don't know anyone outside of it who are also gay may be a slight problem, don't you think?" Blaine said adopting his own glance, which we all call the 'Gurl you cray-cray' look, suiting overdramatic Blaine very well.
Rachel looked at me, her smirk growing bigger and bigger and I knew that what she was planning wasn't going to be good.
"Problem Solved! You two would be perfect together. Tina, wouldn't they be perfect together? Such a cute couple." she said now looking at us dreamily, elbowing and simultaneously hinting Tina, urging her to agree.
"Yes, they would! This is great Rachel! We'll use our matchmaking skills to get the two of them together" Tina said clapping happily.
I turned my head to the side to hide my blush, not realising that if I had looked at Blaine he would be doing the same.
"Tina! Look at them! They're blushing! That's either embarrassment or it means they like each other! I think it's the second one, look; they're not making eye contact! Aww! Bless our boys."
My face went even redder, if that was even possible, continuing not making eye contact. I knew it was a bad idea to trust Rachel. Tina was on her back laughing, whilst Rachel looked between us.
"And that's what you get when you make fun of me and Tina talking about Finn and mike. Now you won't do it again, will you?" Without waiting for an answer, Rachel stood and grabbed Tina, "We are heading to bed. Goodnight boys."
I raised my head for the first time since Rachel had spoken of my crush on Blaine, and I guess Blaine did too because Rachel was wearing a pleased look on her face. "Night Rachel, night Tina." We chorused, watching the girls leave.
When the door clicked shut, Blaine sighed. "That was awkward. I was hoping they were getting ready to leave."
I nodded, searching the room to find the remote to turn the TV off. I cursed quietly when it fell on the floor. I bent down the pick it up and when I stood, I turned around to be faced with Blaine straight in front of me. I jumped, getting ANOTHER fright – they're becoming common things between Blaine and I.
"I gave you a fright again, didn't I?" he said in a low voice. I swear he moved closer, so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face.
"I'm always doing that to you. Never on purpose, I promise I would never hurt you."
He moved even closer, leaving next-to-no space between us.
"Tina and Rachel were making things awkward between us before. I don't want that either."
My head is spinning, not sure of what he is doing or what he's about to do. His eyes kept darting down to my lips, eyes were darker then what they usual. Was he about to kiss me?
"But with the connection between us and the way I feel about you, I doubt we could ever be awkward."
I nodded in agreement, not able to form words because of our close proximity.
"I'm not making you feel uncomfortable standing like this, am I?"
I shook my head, not wanting him to move - especially if he was about to kiss me.
"Good… I'm glad. I'm so happy that I met you Kurt."
His eyes darted to my lips again. This time he licked his lips, oh god I think he's going to kiss me, and moved forwards a few millimetres. I close my eyes, unable to see straight at how close he is. I then feel hot breath in my ear.
"Goodnight Kurt"
He whispers and a wave of cold hits me as his body moves away. He walks to his side of the room, turning the light out as he goes.
I stare into the darkness in shock for some time before shaking myself back together and getting into my own bed. What the hell just happened? Does he like me? Was he just doing that because of what Rachel and Tina said? I know I'm going to have a restless nights sleep with all of the questions, so I close my eyes and try not to think about it. I'm unsuccessful. My head is now full of Blaine and what has just happened, and what lies ahead for me tomorrow .
