Kurt had been thinking about Dalton all morning and wondering if he should risk the trip or not. Something inside of Kurt was telling him that he had to do it but common sense was telling him to stay away from Dalton.
After consideration he had decided to talk to Rachel, his best friend since first grade. Although Rachel and Kurt often disagreed with a lot of things they were always there for each other. At lunch time Kurt walked over to where the ex-glee club member sat. Although, glee had ended, the members if the club had all remained good friends – with the exception of Sam and Puck because of the girlfriend issue. Before Kurt was truly able to see Rachel, she had spotted him as her power came in the form of sight and had the power to see far into the distance.
Rachel was sat next to a blonde haired cheerleader who now only wore normal clothes after getting kicked of the cheerios due to her pregnancy. The girl's name was Quinn and she looked so lot because in her eyes she had lost everything, her boyfriend, her cheerleading and her teenage life.
Kurt pulled Rachel's arm gently and whispered close to her ear "I need to talk to you, it's urgent." Rachel's look of happiness turned to one of worry as she hurried out of her seat and followed Kurt into an empty classroom.
Kurt took a seat at one of the many empty desks and signalled for Rachel to do the same, she sat down nervously and waited for Kurt to explain. "I got my power today" Rachel looked though she was goin to explode with joy "but before you say anything, I have a problem. So, my power is the ability to see into the future and I saw something earlier. I was with this guy at Dalton and there was this book I needed to get my hands on but I don't know if I should do it. My power says yes but everything else says no."
Rachel waited for a brief moment before speaking. "Well, Kurt, you definitely shouldn't do it but I don't think you have a choice. You have to do this! You must go, your power might be telling you more than you think, go now and don't worry. I'll cover for you because you have to do this whilst the students are still at Dalton. When you have a premonition, the likeliness that it happens to be true are extremely high. Even if you didn't come to me, you'd have gone, wouldn't you" Kurt stayed silent because she was right, all along he knew he was going but he guessed he just wanted someone to stop him. "Thought so, now go meet this boy" if Rachel hadn't ended her sentence with a wink Kurt wouldn't have responded but, she did.
"Rachel, he's a Dalton boy, you really think I'm going to get romantically involved with him?"
"If he's gay and cut, why not?"
Before Kurt had a chance to respond she was gone. Typical Rachel. The truth is, if Kurt was to see the guy in his premonition he didn't think he could help but get involved with him. He was honestly the most gorgeous guy he had ever seen. So it was settled, he had to go to Dalton.
...
Before Kurt went to Dalton, he quickly went home to change into something that was more suitable for a sneak into the academy. At the top of the grand staircase he saw in his premonition he took a deep breath and started to descend the steps. He now wore black trousers, a white shirt, navy blue and red tie with a black leather coat. It wasn't the same uniform as a Dalton student would wear but it was as close as he could get without actually buying the uniform.
In front of him, he saw a young boy about 5"8' with dark chestnut hair gelled to his scalp. He moved to touch his shoulder but withdrew it quickly, too scared to go through with. As he descended the stairs further he reached out again and managed to attract the boy's attention.
...
It was a normal day at Dalton, get up and dressed quickly and then make your way to lessons; the only thing that was different today was a Warbler performance shortly after lunch. Around 1pm Blaine made his way through the sea of people that also attempted to descend the stairs. What he didn't expect today was to have his breath taken away.
As he reached the last step, he felt someone touch his shoulder. When he turned around, there was a porcelain face staring down at him from a few steps up. His dazzling blue eyes stood out from his pale skin complexion; his hair styled into a high quiff and he wore a makeshift Dalton uniform which should've worried him...but he wasn't worried in the slightest. Just when he though this boy couldn't get more beautiful, he spoke in the gentlest voice he'd ever heard. "Excuse me, can I ask you a question? I'm-I'm new here."
Blaine didn't know what to do so he just stuck his hand out and offered his name "Blaine"
"Kurt" Kurt, such a beautiful name. Then their hands touched and sparks of electricity past between them. Blaine then felt it again, a warm liquid passing through his veins and made his heart swell. "I'm looking for the library"
Blaine laughed gently "You don't want people to hear you say that, come with me I know a shortcut" Blaine didn't know why but he grabbed Kurt's hand and dragged him further into the school. They ran through one of the many large hallways of Dalton hand-in-hand as if they'd known each other since forever. They continued to run down small winding corridors until they were stood outside the library. Both a bit breathless they entered the library, not hand-in-hand anymore.
Kurt recognised the place from his premonition but it looked a thousand times bigger than he'd expected. Blaine walked over to sit on one of the brown leather sofas placed in front of an old wooden table. "Sit down, Kurt" Kurt really just wanted to get the book and leave but that would make things a lot more suspicious. He made his way over and sat on a brown leather chair the other side of the table facing Blaine. "Where are you from?" Kurt's heart began to race "because you're not joining this school, you're uniform doesn't match up to Dalton standards." That was it, Kurt was finished.
"Ok, fine, just eliminate me with whatever power you may have gained, you have gained power right?" Blaine looked to the left at the newly built fireplace and his gaze hardened. "Oh go no, please don't set me on fire, I'll go!"
Kurt went to get up and leave but Blaine stopped him with a gentle hand on his shoulder and soothing words "Don't go, I don't have the power to use fire, I don't have any power"
"Oh Blaine..."
"Don't do that, don't pretend you pitty me. You're a McKinley student popping in to check out the completion right?"
"Yes and no, I'm a McKinley student but I'm actually here because I had a premonition about this place"
"Go on" Blaine genuinely seemed interested in Kurt's vision.
"Well, in my premonition I came here walked down that grand staircase – which is beautiful by the way – and I had to meet you. You had to show me to here and I have to get a book"
"So, you were destined to meet me, huh?" Blaine smirked slightly and continued "I'm sorry, any book from this library can only be checked out by a student at this school" Kurt's shoulders slouched and his smiled faded "but, that doesn't mean I can't help you"
Kurt's eyes twinkled with hope "Really? You'd help me? A McKinley student?"
"You seem nice Kurt, I want to help. Plus, my friends all have power and I'm kind of forgotten at the moment but if I do this for you, you must do something for me in return."
"Anything"
"I want you to go on a date with me"
Kurt laughed "Seriously? First you want to help me and no you want to date me? Next you'll want to have sex with me."
"Well..."
"Oh god, Blaine no"
"Because I'm a Dalton student?"
"Because you're a Dalton student. Don't you get it? We hate each other!"
"Correction, McKinley and Dalton hate each other, we however, have never met before" Blaine could see Kurt start to smile "Just one date and you get your book"
"One date?"
"Just one, unless you come back for seconds, which is probably likely. I'm a hell of a good kisser"
"How do you know I'm even gay?"
"Well, A, you didn't flinch when I held your hand, B, you're still here and C, you agreed to go on a date with me"
"I have not!"
"No, but you will" The two boys shared a brief glance, well it was more like an everlasting stare.
"Okay"
"Okay what?"
"Really Blaine?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about, okay what?"
"Okay, I'll go on a date with you"
"Thought so, so what book would you like?"
"Actually I want to know more about you, why don't you have power?"
"I have no idea, I woke up on my sixteenth birthday and felt, well I felt the same way I did when I touched you, and it was beautiful, a warm sensation passing through my whole body and yeah.... You probably think I'm an idiot."
"No, no I don't" Kurt checked his watch to see that it was nearly 2 O'clock "I'm sorry I really do want to talk more about you but I need to get back before my Dad starts to worry and I still need to drive back to McKinley" Kurt flinched when he said that, it was a constant reminder that the two of them were supposed to be enemies yet he's never felt better than he did with Blaine.
"Look, I don't care that you're from McKinley so don't worry. Screw what other people think, I'm sick of people telling me who I can and can't go out with, Kurt please just give this a chance."
"I already agreed to go out with you Blaine, there's no need to convince me further" Kurt smiled and saw that Blaine looked extremely nervous.
"I know, but-just-yeah-ok-erm the book! What book would you like?"
"Don't worry I know where it is" Kurt winked at him before running up the stairs to where his premonition had taken him.
Whilst Kurt was out of sight Blaine took a sharp breath and exhaled unsteadily, what did this boy do to him?
A few moments later Kurt came back down the steps smiling broadly "Thank you Blaine"
"Anderson"
"Huh?"
"Blaine Anderson"
"Hummel"
"Nice to meet you Hummel, so this date"
"You won't stop will you" It wasn't a question.
"Nope, I'll meet you outside McKinley tomorrow morning at 3:30 sharp. Don't let me down Hummel" Blaine took the book from him and checked it out using his student library card. "Plus, I'll need to see you in two weeks"
"Why?"
"To get the book back silly" Blaine tapped Kurt on the nose and swiftly left the room "You can find your own way out can't you Hummel?"
"Sure"
"Good, I have a performance to attend, unless you want to come with?"
"I really must go"
"But baby it's cold outside" Kurt glared at Blaine from where he stood clutching the book "Okay Hummel but I'll see you tomorrow!"
"Sure you will..."
"I will Hummel!" Blaine declared before moving out of sight completely.
...
On the bus back to McKinley (God he couldn't wait to get a car) Kurt replayed the afternoon's events and had one hazel-eyed boy stuck in his mind. Maybe Blaine was right, maybe it shouldn't matter if they're in two schools that are rivals. What if they both ended up in battle though?
As the bus pulled up just down the road from McKinley, Kurt could see that the students were only just leaving which meant Finn was already waiting for him. He ran down the steps of the bus and into the school car park. Sure enough, Finn was sat in his car waiting for his younger brother (half-brother but still). Kurt opened the door and slid into the passenger seat "Hey Finn"
"God Kurt, you scared me! How come I didn't see you?"
"I don't know, maybe you were staring at girls and wishing you was a teenager again?"
"Damn, okay you're right. So, who was school?"
"Same old, same old. Turned up, did lessons, day over"
"That boring huh?"
"Yep, can you just drive Finn?"
With that Finn pulled out from the car park and began the drive home. "So, did you get your power yet?"
"As a matter of fact, I did. I have the power to see into the future"
"Cool! Can you see what I 'll do tomorrow?"
"Erm, no. I can't control when I have them, I just do. That's why I got a book about it" Kurt pulled the book from his bag and showed his brother.
"Where did you get that? McKinley doesn't supply books" Finn had left school about five years ago; his power came in the form of light; he was able to create balls of silver light that could blind you if you saw him make them.
"i-er-got-it-from-Dalton"
"Pardon?"
"I-got-it-from-Dalton"
"Speak up Kurt"
"I GOT IT FROM DALTON, there...happy?"
Finn slammed on the breaks which caused other cars to honk their horns in protest. "You went to Dalton?"
"I did, Blaine helped me to find this book and-"
"You spoke to someone?"
"He was actually very good-looking and he-"
"What?"
"Asked me out"
"KURT!? You cannot go out with someone from the opposite side! I won't allow it. When's this 'date' supposed to be anyway"
"Doesn't matter"
"'Cause you're not going, right?"
"Yes"
"Kurt!
"You don't control me Finn, now just drive home, you're causing a scene"
Finn turned around and realised there was a queue of cars waiting for him to move. "Shit, okay but this isn't over"
"Yes it is"
...
Blaine left the library with a dopey grin spread across his face. Kurt. "The most beautiful sound I've ever heard" Blaine couldn't help it. Maybe this – whatever it may be between them – would turn out to be Blaine's very own version of West Side Story. Blaine just hoped neither of them died.
As he walked into the common room, wearing the same dopey grin, the other Warblers wondered why Blaine could be so happy.
"What's up with you, Blaine?"
"Nothing."
"Something's happened, oh my god Blaine you're smiting; who's the guy?"
"There is no one"
"Blaine, come one, I'm you're head Warbler and I want to know!"
"Wes, there is nothing to worry about"
"I'm not worried, who's the guy?"
"Kurt"
"And who's Kurt?"
"A McKinley student"
"..." The room was completely silent.
"Oh com on guys! This whole battle thing has gone on for long enough and he's perfect! Don't judge him just because he goes to a different to school, I like him" Blaine's cheeks turned rose pink "What's wrong with that?"
"Blaine, you said it yourself, he's a McKinley student! That's what's wrong. What if you end up having to fight against him? You could ruin Dalton's reputation!"
"Screw Dalton's reputation! I'll see who I want. Anyway, he doesn't seem too interest, he just wanted the book"
"You gave him one of our books?"
"Yeah, he needed help with his power"
"You're helping the competition?"
"Well at least he didn't disregard me like you lot have! Ever since you got your powers, Jeff and I have been cast aside. I'm sorry I have no power, I guess I already ruined Dalton's reputation by being different. Maybe I ruined their reputation by being gay too." Blaine went to leave the common room.
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you lot"
"What about the impromptu performance?"
"Screw you're performance"
