Chapter One

Blaine was angry. Right on the day he had arrived at Dalton, that boy Nick fell for Blaine and he didn’t even try to hide it. He asked him out a few times and Blaine had always said no. He didn’t come to Dalton to start a relationship with a human who would probably end up dead after a few days.

Nick was Blaine’s roommate – well, that’s going to change now, he thought. Maybe Mr. Shuester would allow him to move in with another guy.

Or maybe he could move to room 217. That one was empty- no, wait, it wasn’t anymore since that new kid arrived. What was his name? Kurt?

He didn’t really pay attention when Jeff had introduced them. But now he was curious. That new kid had looked nice and everything Blaine wanted was to spend a few years at a school. So what could go wrong?

He looked out of the window and thought about what happened before…

“Blaine, talk to me!” Nick said and closed the door behind him. Blaine was sitting on his bed.

“About what? About you and me? I said it before and I will say it again. I don’t want to go out with you! I don’t want a relationship!” He stood up. “Which part exactly don’t you understand?”

“What I don’t understand is why you don’t even give me a chance.” Nick glared at Blaine and Blaine looked away,

“Because… because I’m not good for you. I’m not good for anybody. And no matter how much you’re annoying me, I don’t want to see you heartbroken because of me.” Blaine was really struggling to find the right words.

“Right.” Nick laughed. “You’re not good for me. You know what? You’re not good for me because you are a piece of shit! I’m gonna take you down!” Blaine could tell that Nick was getting angry and so did Blaine.

“You are so pathetic! You can’t even take it if someone doesn’t want you? If I’m a piece of shit, then what exactly are you?” He was so close to losing it. He could feel his fangs lengthen. He tried keeping his mouth shut so Nick wouldn’t see them but the monster within him wanted to attack. He barely could hold a snarl back.

Nick could feel the change in the boy in front of him. Blaine’s eyes that normally looked like gold were now darker and he was glaring at Nick. His lips were pressed together and Blaine’s appearance made Nick feel very uncomfortable. He gulped and then shouted,

“You can’t scare me, if that’s what you’re trying to do!”

Blaine smiled. “That is your opinion.” He could hear Nicks’ heartbeat. It was going very fast and he could smell his blood running through his veins. “You better get away from me if you don’t want me to punch the crap out of you.” He tried to breathe slowly in order to calm himself. His fangs were slowly disappearing.

“Don’t ever threaten me again or I will—“

“Blaine smiled wider. “What exactly will you do?” Nick stared at him and Blaine could tell that Nick wanted to hurt him. But then Nick turned around and pushed the door open.

“You better never talk to me again, you son of a—“ He stopped and looked down the hallway.

Blaine could hear Jeffs’ voice. “What’s up, Nick?” Blaine could also hear a second heartbeat in the hallway. Nick turned around and ran away.

Blaine was pulled back to reality when someone knocked on the door. He sighed. Why can’t they just leave me alone for a few minutes?

He got to the door with superhuman speed and opened it. Outside was Jeff. Blaine rolled his eyes.

“Look, if you want to ask me what was going on earlier, you can leave right away. I’m not going to tell you anything. Ask Nick! Maybe he wants share the story with you.”

“Ah, no! Actually I’m here to ask you, if you want to come to the common room with me. Watch a movie, you know? But I can tell that you’re not in the mood to watch a movie right now, so I’m just gonna leave you alone.” He turned around and wanted to leave but Blaine grabbed his shoulder.

“Okay, wait! I’m sorry.” Blaine sighed. “I shouldn’t be that way. You didn’t do anything wrong. If you would wait a second, I’ll just find a pullover and then we can go watch that movie.”

Jeff waited patiently. Blaine went to search for the Dalton pullover and he could hear Jeff whistling a melody. When he came back to the door, he tried to smile.

“So, I’m ready. Let’s go!” He closed the door and the two boys walked down the hallway. They didn’t talk at all.

Finally Blaine asked “So, what about the new kid? Kurt?” Jeff frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I just want to know what you think about him. He looks nice and I just wondered if he… well, if he told you something about himself. Something interesting.”

Jeff laughed. “Are you hitting on him? And now you want to know if I know if he’s gay? Really? How could you fell for him just by looking at him once?” Blaine could’ve slapped himself. Of course Jeff would think that. Everyone knew he was gay and almost everyone knew that he had his problems with Nick. And actually Blaine didn’t want to know, if the new guy was gay. He just wanted to talk about something.

“I’m not hitting on him! Of course not! I just want to know, if you two talked about something.”

Jeff tried to hide his smile. “Well, why don’t you ask him yourself? I already invited him to come to the common room later. And I’m sure he’ll be there.”

Blaine gave up trying to convince Jeff that he didn’t care about the new boy. They entered the common room and Blaine sniffed just to notice that Nick wasn’t in the room.

At least something, he thought.

Mr. Shuester came up to him. “So, Blaine. How’s it going? Everything alright? How did your first weeks go?”

Shit, Blaine cursed in his mind. Exactly the questions he wanted to avoid.

“Well, Mr. Shuester, actually I was wondering if I could move to another room. I’m not really getting along with Nick. Maybe… could I get a room without a roommate?”

Mr. Shuester frowned. “Well, I’m sad to hear that. But I don’t think that there are any rooms free. There’s only 217 but Kurt moved in there, so if you want to change rooms, you’ll have to ask him, if you could share a room with him.” He looked around. “I think he’s over there with Wes. Ahm, so, do you want to talk about what happened between you and Nick?”

Blaine thought about it for a second.

“No, I don’t think so. Maybe you should ask Nick, if he wants to talk about it. Because it’s kind of his personal issue, so…” Blaine shrugged. “Anyway, I’m gonna go and ask Kurt about the room thing now.” And with that he walked over to the couch Wes and Kurt were sitting on.

When he got closer he could smell the scent of Kurt and Wesley. Wes smelled like he always did – something like salt and his aftershave. But Kurt, he smelled different. He smelled like honey and flowers and something different. Blaine couldn’t quite tell what it was. He smelled so… good.

“ Hey.” He said. “Wesley and you are Kurt, right?” Kurt looked up at Blaine’s face and Blaine could see a quick smile on the boy’s face.

“Yes, I’m Kurt Hummel. We met earlier, didn’t we? You’re Blaine. Nice to meet you.” He moved over a bit. “Do you want to sit down? Wes and I were just talking about, well, the reason I transferred.”

Blaine sat down. “So, why did you transfer?” he asked.

Kurt sighed. “Well, I was bullied. Because … I’m gay.” He looked very uncomfortable talking about it.

Blaine looked him the eye. Those beautiful, blue eyes. “Kurt, listen. No one is going to judge you because of your sexuality here. Believe me. I should know.”

“Exactly what I was telling him. But he wouldn’t believe me.” Wes smiled at Kurt.

Kurt looked from Blaine to Wes and back to Blaine. “So, does this mean… all of you are gay?”

Blaine laughed. “No, no. I mean, I am, but Wes has a girlfriend.”

Blaine and Kurt both felt relieved at this moment. They both felt like they had found a friend in the other boy.

“So, Kurt” Blaine began. “I was wondering, if you would be okay with me moving to your room. Because, well, you saw that Nick and I had a little fight. And I would llike to get out of that room.”

Kurt didn’t have to think about that. “Of course, I would be happy to have a roommate.  Really, that’s no problem at all. I think we will get along—“ He was interrupted by Mr. Shuester.

“Okay, guys! The movie’s starting. Come over here, if you want to watch. Stay where you are, if you don’t want to watch!”

The three boys got up and sat down in front of the TV screen. Someone switched off the light. When the movie started, Blaine leaned over to Kurt and whispered “Thank you, Kurt!”

Although it was dark in the room, Blaine could see Kurt blushing. Blaine had to admit that it felt good sitting next to that boy. Slowly, so no one would notice, not even Kurt, he moved closer to Kurt and breathed in his wonderful, sweet scent.
