Oh god my head. Where am I? That’s right in bed. Is it my bed though? Why can’t I hear dad in the kitchen, that’s right I’m at my new school now. I was in the common room and then something happened, so how did I get here? Lauren carried me here. A girl… wait that can’t be right, there was something about a dog, a blonde and a dolphin that I… what the hell is a dolphin anyways. And why do I have a sudden urge to watch Alice in Wonderland?
“The twins will do that to ya” Kurt sat up at the sound of the voice that suddenly rang out through the room, one he had heard last night. He turned to see the guy he assumed was his new room mate, he had dark hair…dark curly bed hair, and a really nice smile that made Kurt’s heart skip a beat, that had never happened to him before, and if he wasn’t mistaken the guy had hazel eyes. Kurt found himself staring, not seeing the way his room mate’s eyes watched him as Kurt looked him over, taking in the way his hair feel over his face, and the way his eyes seemed to be filled with kindness and warmth, the shape of his nose and the way his lips did that thing…why am I looking at the lips? Then to his perfect jaw line, ok so it was safe to say that Kurt Hummel was instantly smitten, he knew this even as his eyes wandered down to the other boys bare chest, And if Kurt wasn’t already 100% sure of his sexuality this guy would without a doubt make him question it, in favor of the boys of course, Kurt shook his head when he realized how rude it was to stare at someone the way he was undoubtedly doing and turned away muttering something of an apology.
“Did you know you talk in your sleep?” The guy chuckled.
“Yeah I’ve been told that, usually it happens just before waking up”
“Anyways about the sudden urge to watch Alice, the twins remind people of the…”
“Tweedles?” Kurt asked turned back to him with smiled which was returned.
Kurt couldn’t help but wonder why people had not wanted to room with this guy, he seemed perfectly friendly to him.
“Yeah,” he said with a slight chuckle “Anyway, I’m Blaine” he said walking over to Kurt holding out his hand, Kurt took it, he couldn’t help but notice how warm and soft it was,
“Kurt” he replied and the hand was taking away. He knew it was stupid he had just met the guy but he couldn’t help feel a little disappointed. Then he felt embarrassed cause what if Blaine could feel that he was. He saw that Blaine had returned to sitting on his bed, he looked as if he was studying Kurt and Kurt wasn’t sure what to make of it and ended up feeling confused.
“I know we met last night but I thought it would be nice to have a more…well I don’t think formal would be the right word but at least I’m human this time. So yeah, also incase the other crazy people didn’t tell you I’m a Twofer”
“Yeah, me too, they did mention that, they said you could read and manipulate emotions as well as turn into a dog.” At this Blaine laughed and Kurt smile just got bigger thinking back to the night before, he was sure he was going to like this Blaine Anderson.
“Well it can be a little weird sometimes, feeling what others feel, and it’s even weirder when they’re feelings you wouldn’t normally have. Two of the worst are hatred and anger. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but I soon get control over it”
“Is that why Puck left?” Kurt asked before he could stop himself “I mean… sorry you don’t have to tell me… I just know that he was rooming with you at some point and then asked to be moved and … it’s just…”
“It’s ok Kurt, I don’t mind, it is no secret that Puck was put here with me when he first arrived, but he is rooming with Artie now, you met him right?” Kurt nodded “But yes it did have something to do with my power, let’s just say there was an incident that occurred and I hope you never have to see it.” And with that Kurt knew that was all the answer he would get.
So Kurt began to look around him taking in the room and all its beauty the four poster bed he was sitting on and the one across from him were both as beautiful and delicately crafted as the other. He noticed that the rooms weren’t as small as the ones at Carmel Academy the last boarding school he went to. In fact it had to be at least four times the size. As his eyes continued he saw what appeared to be a little single bed in the far corner of the room. It seemed out of place here, while all the rest of the furniture was a lot more antique looking this looked like it might well be an air mattress, and Kurt couldn’t help wonder why it was there. The boxes holding his belongings were on his side of the room, at this he hopped up off his bed and walked over to them and the built in wardrobe they were piled near. He opened the doors and saw that it was empty.
“That one is yours, mine is on the other side” Kurt turned to see that his room mate had been watching him this whole time perhaps reading his emotions.
“That’s probably a good thing as I have a lot of clothes” he said with a smile.
He also saw that there were two wooden desks both with comfortable looking computer chairs to go with it, under the large window that looked out over the grounds. Carmel definitely did not have that.
“Did anyone ever tell you, you are like this emotion yoyo?... what I mean is your emotions change more often then Britt changes sexual partners… sorry didn’t mean to offend you” Kurt just raised an eyebrow in confusion
“Brittany spears?”
“She likes to think she is but no, I mean my Brittany”
“You mean the dolphin girl?”
“Yeah, um anyways” he chuckled with the grin that Kurt doubted he would ever get use to “I’m meant to take you down to the Dining hall… I mean if you what to go that is. On Saturdays it is open till ten so you can go down later if you like. But let me know, I’m just going to go have a shower. Let me know what you… well you know” He went to his own closet and pulled out an out-fit with little to no thought at all, this would normally bug Kurt, as everyone should take their time when it comes to fashion, but what surprised him was, the fact Blaine hadn’t, didn’t bother him in the slightest. And he didn’t know why. Kurt watched as Blaine then headed into the en-suite bathroom and closed the door. This would definitely give Kurt time to unpack his things, and get his side of the room tidy of the mess it seemed to be in.
By the time his room mate had exited the bathroom Kurt had completely finished unpacking his things and put it all away in its proper place, when Blaine saw this he had to all but pick his jaw up from the ground.
“Wow you’re unpacked already?” Kurt looked up to see Blaine standing in the room, he noticed, the guys hair, while still retaining curls they were not as wild as they were before entering the bathroom.
‘Most definitely cuter then my ex’ Kurt thought to himself before turning away saying
“Yep, never was much of a procrastinator, I prefer to get things done out of the way. Helps with the whole homework thing to, Get it done fast the rest of the time is yours” Kurt jumped up from his already made bed, where he had been stretched out reading his latest issue of vogue, collected his out-fit for the day and entered the bathroom.
“Give me twenty minutes then we can go down to breakfast, if that’s ok with you?” Kurt asked.
“Yeah sure cool, that fine, I’ll be waiting” Blaine said just before the bathroom door closed.
Blaine would never deny having had a crash before, ‘cause he had, more then once, he had even had a boyfriend as well, not that that had been the best relationship ever, the guy wasn’t very nice and would bully him, there had even been times in which he had hit Blaine, until the douche-bag decided Blaine wasn’t worth the wait and went and got what he couldn’t get from him else where. But Blaine believed… no he knew that this boy was different, this Crush was not like the others, it was stronger some how, is it possible that his power has something to do with it? This is the first time he has found himself interested in someone since he got his power… and how can you tell if you really like someone after just meeting them? Blaine paced the floor he did this on occasion usually when he was deep in thought it had bugged the crap out of Puck, he just hoped Kurt wouldn’t mind. Pacing helped him think and get control of things. But right now the only thing he can think of is the beautiful boy that is now his room mate. He had this kindness about him that Blaine didn’t understand, Mercedes had said the boy was special, she had seen it, she had told him many things about him, mostly at how close he and her were going to be. But she never told him that Kurt Hummel would make his heart race, at the very sight of him even in the other form. And those dazzling blue-green eyes that seem to pull you in, making it almost impossible to resist the lure of them. And those lips…
“OK Blaine Anderson you have completely lost you mind” He said with a sigh
“Do you usually talk to yourself while pacing the floor, ‘cause that could take some getting use to”
Kurt watched as the other boy paced the room head down eyes closed, biting his thumb nail. Kurt guessed Blaine hadn’t heard him open the door to the bathroom, he watched the other boy for a minute, thinking how adorable he looked, and was just about to say something, to alert Blaine to him being in the room when the boy spoke.
Kurt chuckled when the boy spun around to face him, with what looked to be a combination of guilt and shock on his face but relaxed when he saw Kurt’s smile at lest that’s what Kurt guessed anyway.
“Yeah it’s a nervous habit of mine” Kurt just nodded still smiling. Both were quiet for a minute or two before Kurt spoke up again.
“So you were going to take me down to breakfast? Do we still have time?” he asked picking up his i-phone from the bedside table where he put it before going into the bathroom.
“Um yeah it’s only 9:00 still got an hour”
“Well then lead the way Mr. Anderson” Kurt said with one of the most dazzling smiles he could muster.
While walking to the dining hall Kurt had a chance to get to know the hallway to his dorm room every now and then Blaine would point out someone and tell Kurt everything he knew about said person. He was surprised that so many people would call out to him with a little wave, which he would return, or just say hi as they past until…
“Blaine” Blaine instantly froze beside him Kurt was a little confused, so he turned and came face to face with a guy about his height, green eyes and blonde hair, it had been pulled back in a short pony tail. He smiled at Kurt and offered his hand.
“Hey I’m Jeremiah, and you must been Kurt” Kurt went to shake his hand but it had been slapped away. Kurt looked to his side to see Blaine glaring at the guy, jaw tight.
“What do you want Jeremiah?” Blaine asked his voice harsh, Kurt didn’t know what to do, sure he had really only just meet him but Blaine had been nothing but nice to everyone else. What made Jeremiah different?
“Just came to see the new kid is all, no need to get your panties in a knot”
“Yeah well you have seen him now you can go”
“Touchy, aren’t we Anderson? I have just as much right to meet him as anyone else in this school.” Jeremiah said
“Only I know how you like to get to know the new kids don’t I Jeremiah” Blaine growled
“I’m sure the boy can make up his own mind as to weather or not he wants to know me”
“Trust me he has better common sense then to hang with the likes of you, you may have the rest of the school fooled but I can see right through that phony persona you have going” at this Jeremiah just smiled.
“Oh I see what’s going on here, you what the boy for yourself”
“That has nothing to do with this and you know it, so why don’t you do us both a favor and piss off” Jeremiah just acted as if he didn’t hear him and turned to Kurt.
“So what do you say new kid? What to hang out with me?”
“His name is Kurt, you might want to show him some respect and use it”
“Hanging out with this one will only get you hurt” Jeremiah said pointing at Blaine
“I think I will take my chances with Blaine thank you very much” Kurt said giving off his best bitch stare.
“Suit yourself but you might want to ask Puck why he asked to change roomies before you make up your mind, and I’ll be here if you decide those stupid Warblers are to much for you” at that Jeremiah flinched for a second and Kurt wondered what had just happed when Jeremiah glared at Blaine “How dare you use your power on me you disgusting piece of filth” he spat “Your not all that either you know. And as for him” he said pointing at Kurt “You can have him, he smells wrong” and with that he turned and walked away.
Once he was gone Kurt watched as Blaine relaxed, turned to him and smiled,
“Sorry about that, I really shouldn’t let my own emotions get in the way, but Jeremiah is not a person you want to get involved with trust me on that” Kurt nodded his understanding.
“What are the Warblers?” Kurt asked as the two continued down the hall
“They’re my friends, and if you want to hang around most likely yours, Britt already loves you and so do the twins and ‘Cedes too I’d say you are in, if you want to be that is”
“What do I got to do to get in?”
“Nothin’ really, but if you can sing that would help”
“Sing?”
“Yeah, the Warblers are sort of a Glee club, it was called the Warbler Directions but it was shortened to just The Warblers” Blaine chuckled and Kurt smiled
“You really think I can join? Vocal Adrenalin wouldn’t let me, apparently I didn’t fit the standards, meaning of course my sexual preference was wrong and the guys didn’t want me on the team”
“What that’s just rude, I can’t believe they wouldn’t let you in the club because you were gay, that’s so wrong, did you talk to the director?”
“He was the instigator”
“What? Was it a teacher?”
“Yep” Kurt sighed, “Hey Blaine? Jeremiah… He doesn’t have a problem with you being … you know… gay does he?” Kurt asked Blaine turned to look at him and Kurt saw confusion on his face.
“What do you mean?” he asked
“It’s just that when people called me, what he called you, it had to do with me being gay”
“Oh, well no it’s not because I’m gay, that has nothing to do with it, it’s a long story and I wouldn’t want to bore you with the details, but no Jeremiah doesn’t have a problem with gay guys, He is one, he has a problem with me, now lets get you to the dining hall and get you fed before its to late” Kurt smiled with a nod and they continued down the hall in silence, but something was bugging Kurt he remembered something Jeremiah had said and now he couldn’t get it out of his head.
“Hey Blaine” Blaine turned to look at him and smiled
“Yeah?”
“What did Jeremiah mean when he said I smelled wrong?”
Blaine shrugged “Don’t know, you smell fine to me. But we can ask Finn if it bothers you”
“Finn?”
“He also turns into an animal remember?”
“Jeremiah turns into an animal?”
“Um…Jeremiah is a special case, but yes he shifts into a jaguar”
“And Finn shifts into a panther which is also a cat”
“Exactly, well here we are”
The second the two walked into the dinning hall there was an excited squeal and a ‘Blaine’ before a little girl about five years old ran at him she got about two meters away before jumping up into his arms. Kurt then saw the little wings she had on her back. At first he thought they might have been fake but he then realized they were moving slightly.
“Blaine, guess what? I slept good last night. No bad dreams,” She said
“Oh? That’s really good Aimee, I’m glade but I still missed my goodnight hug last night you were asleep when I came to check on you”
“I was tied and Quinn said you were going to see the new boy, she said he was cute, is he cute?”
“Why don’t you see for yourself” Blaine nodded at Kurt who was standing next to him and Aimee looked him up and down
“Kurt this is my little sister Aimee, Aimee that’s the new boy Kurt”
“Hi Angel it is nice to meet you, I love your wings” at this Aimee started to giggle she had a laugh that sounded like bells, and Kurt was sure she was definitely an Angel.
“I like him” she giggled “If you don’t want him can I have him?” This time it was Kurt who was laughing and Blaine had gone red. Just then a blonde girl that Kurt hadn’t met yet came over to them with a big smile.
“Blaine? Are you and Aimee monopolizing Kurt? The rest of us want to meet him too” at this she turned to Kurt holding out her hand, which he took, with a wide smile.
“Hi I’m Quinn” out of no where she was joined by Rachel, Tina, Mercedes and Brittany all with big smiles stretching across their faces.
“So what’s your favorite colour?” Aimee asked
“How do you take your coffee?” Tina questioned
“Do you like Broadway musicals?” Rachel asked
“Is that jacket an Alexander McQueen?” Mercedes questioned
“Have you and my dolphin kissed yet?” Brittany asked
“Ladies, ladies one at a time, wow everybody wants to know about me, how keen. Ok now as for your questions, let’s start with the little Angel’s” Kurt said turning to Aimee
“My favorite colour is Blue, I love blue it reminds me of winter, and I happen to have an excellent winter wardrobe, as for my coffee, a non-fat mocha latte for me, yes I love Broadway musical, Wicked was awesome by the way. My jacket is a McQueen, well spotted. And no I have not kissed any Dolphins that I know of, although I did get really drunk once and kissed a stuffed monkey, Bambi was not impressed.” Kurt finished, the girls just looked at him with mouths open and wide eyes, but Kurt had spotted the breakfast bar and left with a parting…
“Oh look, they have fruit salad” he heading over to the bar to get his meal.
Comments
Just so you know I do believe you ment to write "gay" but every time that word comes up the word "guy" is there instead. It happened in the last chapter to. I love your concept, superpowers always make things so much more interesting. I do think you probably should have slowed down the amount of characters you introduced at one. I look forward to your next chapter!
