Chapter 1 - Welcome to Pace

So the day had finally arrived.

After all the freaking out about not getting in and fears of inadequacy and being blackmailed by old friends of Blaines uncle—after a ridiculously crazy summer, Kurt Hummel finally stood on the Pace High School of the Performing Arts campus for his first day of school. He looked up at the newly renovated building and took a deep breath. This was the place that hed call a home away from home for his senior year. It was a place that hed have to put a lot of hard work and sweat into if he wanted any of his dreams to become a reality, and Kurt Hummel was so ready for his dreams to become a reality.

He looked around campus as students walked past him and his friends. Many of them gave him a curious once over and he thought that it was because he was the new guy on the block. It could have been something to do with how tight his Paul Smith red and black printed pants were fitting him (at least thats what his boyfriend thought and had said repeatedly as he stared at guys walking by whose eyes were in places they didnt need to be) but Kurt didnt focus on that. He smiled at the student life and how it was abuzz with excitement for the upcoming year and knew that this was going to be one full of potential.

Sure, hed miss most of his friends at McKinley, and he would wish them the best for their senior year when theyd start in September, but he wasnt sad at all. This was where he needed to be.

If only Blaine had five percent of his enthusiasm. That would probably help things out a bit.

Jeff pocketed his cell phone as he looked at Blaine. The boys hazel eyes looked very disinterested as he sat on top of his Lexus next to his violin, scanning faces of his new peers as they passed. His red beanie was pulled low on his head and matched with the red Giuseppe sneakers he wore. He thought that if Justin and David were around, theyd flail about the way their OTP had unintentionally matched their outfits together, but he and Nick thought it was totally disgusting.

Blaine held the straps of his book bag tightly as he looked up at the school now.

Five more minutes.

There were only five minutes before he was no longer a free man and had to slave away at this school for the next ten months. Of course Cooper reminded him that Pace had its perks: hed be getting to do something he loved doing and could make a future out of—if he didnt want to have a career in BMX riding that was. There was also the fact that hed be going to school with his closest friends and the boy he was in love with. Cooper told him that with David and Justin graduating from JFK High School, hed be the only one from Legacy there, and thered be no one to watch him because Blaine would no doubt get into trouble. Blaine rolled his eyes at that, of course. He wasnt a trouble maker at all; he just had no finish solving problems once they were started.

"I cant tell if people are staring at us or you guys," Nick said as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Id really like for it to be you guys, though."

Kurt turned to look at him and Nick shrugged.

"Ive never been one for attention. Well, not for my personal life. No disrespect."

"No," Kurt smiled at him. "Its fine. Im sure all of the looks will pass after today, right? Something new and exciting will happen and they wont care about Blaine and I going here or how you two are dating each other now. Right?"

Jeff watched his ex-girlfriend laughing with some of her friends as they walked into the school. He didnt know if she saw them standing there but if she did, she sure didnt react much. Hopefully things wouldnt be as awkward as he imagined theyd be between him and Victoria.

"Maybe," Nick said, shrugging again. "I just want people to mind their own business."

"Well you go to a school full of drama majors like yourself. Gossip is inevitable," Blaine moved forward from where he sat on the hood of his car and grabbed Kurt, pulling him back against him. After the initial scare wore off, his boyfriend hit him on the arm, but Blaine ignored it and wrapped his arms around Kurts waist. "If people dont learn to shut up, you make them."

"Things dont work like that here," Jeff told him quickly, eyeing the biker. "You cant just punch someone like you did Peter without any consequences."

"I never punched Peter at school. I didnt really have to fight at school so leave me alone."

Kurt sat back between his boyfriends legs and shook his head at the conversation. "Blaine wont have any fights or get into any trouble because he already knows that he wont be getting any sex for a month if that happens."

Blaine rolled his eyes.

"And thats only my punishment. Who knows what Clarissa and Don and my dad will come up with?"

Nick smiled at his best friends face. "We may as well go inside now so that I can show you guys where your lockers are before class."

Kurt nodded but Blaine shook his head no, burying his face in his boyfriends neck. Jeff picked up his skateboard and stretched; his t-shirt rising a little. This was it. This was the moment that would mark the start of their hopefully memorable in the best way possible senior year together at a really good school and Kurt could hardly wait.

He got up and followed Nick and Jeff, not even bothering to turn around when Blaine didnt get up from his seat on the hood of his sedan. His boyfriend tended to be a little pissy when he didnt have Kurts complete attention, but hed get over it today.

Blaine groaned and fixed his floral pattern t-shirt over the back of his shorts when he got up. Slowly, he followed the three boys over to the building and up the steps. He said goodbye to his summer and hello to what would be his last year of hell.

Well, before his family forced him to apply to colleges, of course.

"Ok, so youve seen the lobby," Jeff pointed at the display case with all the trophies and framed pictures of alumni. "Its a very celebrated school. Yadda yadda. Youve seen the auditorium. The senior classs lockers start at Hall C which is this way…."

Nick tuned out of the conversation to turn around and look for Blaine. His friend was slowly walking into the entrance, looking down at his cell phone and ignoring the eyes of his schoolmates watching him. It wasnt like he wasnt used to getting stares as of late. The endorsements he got from his sport and the magazine shoots were probably cause of that—oh, and of course the fact that hed come out in a relationship with a young man too. He couldnt give a damn about who had what to say about it, either.

Nick turned to watch Jeff and Kurt walk off as he waited for his best friend. When Blaine was by his side, he nudged the kid in the shoulder. "Phone away. Hat off. Dont bullshit this opportunity away. At least pretend to want to be here and the school year will go by that much quicker."

Blaine looked at him and rolled his eyes before putting his cell phone in his pocket. Just then, one of the deans walked by and gestured to his hat.

"Welcome to Pace Mr. Anderson. We dont wear hats indoors here, so please…"

Blaine pulled it off and the man smiled before walking away. Nick shook his head and jogged through the chatty student body to find his boyfriend and Kurt. Blaine watched him go as he ran his hands through his curls and fluffed them a bit. He put the beanie halfway into his pocket and let part of it hang out just as he felt someone brush against him.

"Blaine Anderson," Liam moved the coffee cup from his lips as he saw him and smiled warmly. Needless to say, the student didnt return it. "Its good seeing you here at Pace. Theres a lot of talk about how impressive you are from a lot of eyes in high places so I hope you dont screw that up."

Blaine smiled now as he turned to walk in the direction the others went. A few girls waved at him but he ignored it as he replied to Liam, clutching his violin case as he spoke. "I have a question for you, Liam."

Liam fixed his bag as he walked beside the teen. "Well then shoot. Im all ears."

The warning bell rang for class and Blaine watched people look down at their schedules. "If I were to call you a piece of shit, hypothetically speaking, would you be able to get me suspended or anything like that?"

Liam stopped walking and smiled as his eyes found Blaines. Blaine knew hed never like the look behind those eyes and he hated the thought that they looked at Kurt in any way. "Now you know Im just a mere TA, Blaine. I come here for the college credits and to meet lovely young talent like you. And you know, hopefully help pour into that talent. You can call me whatever youd like. My skin is pretty thick."

Blaine stared at him.

"Oh," before walking away, the TA smiled and turned back to Blaine. "Ive gotta rush, but please tell Kurt that he looks fantastic for me? I love the pants." Liam winked and walked away now, whistling as he went. Some of the students watched with a smile, obviously fawning over how hot he was or how talented he was. Who cared? Blaine only cared about shutting the guy up to be completely honest, but he knew that wouldnt be able to happen without him getting into a shit load of trouble.

At least not in the way Blaine wanted to shut him up.

"Blaine!" Jeff shouted over the noise of the student body on the schools first floor. "Cmon man, were gonna be late."

The rider sighed and ran over to his friend, following him over to Hall C. Kurt smiled when he saw him and gestured to the locker.

"Were not next to each other sadly, but this one is yours. And its right next to my first period class. …You better put my picture up inside of it."

Blaine looked at the locker numbered 124 and took Kurts hand. "Wheres yours?"

Kurt pointed down the hall to where Nick was standing, talking to a couple friends. "Its right where they are. Number 139…"

Blaine nodded. "Its kinda far from me. Ill ask whoever my neighbor is if you can switch with them."

Kurt smiled as he looked at Blaine; his boyfriend watching their surroundings. "That wont be necessary. Youll probably want your space at some point. Believe it or not, well get tired of one another in a week or so."

Blaine looked at Jeff as he walked up again and the blonde spoke. "Im going to class, guys. You idiots can be late to your first period if you want to. Later," he dropped his board and flew down the hall, eliciting an eye roll from Blaine.

"He can skate in the hall but the dean gets mad at me for wearing a hat?"

Kurts face changed. "The dean got mad at you?"

"Hey," Nick came back over and patted Kurts back, looking at his best friend. "We need to get going to English… like pronto."

Blaine nodded and looked at Kurt, pulling him closer to steal a kiss. "Ill see you in Math, ok?"

Kurt smiled as the late bell rang and pecked his boyfriends cheek, knowing that a lot of people were watching. "Ill see you. Promise me youll behave?"

Blaine nodded. "I will. Its not like I can text you during class since youre on punishment…"

Kurt laughed. "I love you, baby. Later…" he turned and waved goodbye to Nick before walking into the classroom. Hunter zoomed past them out of breath and followed in after Kurt and Nick smiled, wrapping his arm around his best friend.

"Second floor English class is our first stop, asshole. You ready?"

Blaine sighed and nodded as they entered the staircase. "Sure. Bring it on."

….

"Now that everyone is settled in, I want you to take a look at the curriculum for this semester. Ill be handing everyone out a copy of the student syllabus and I would like it if you paid close attention to the content well cover over these first couple weeks."

Nick glanced over at Blaine who already appeared to have checked out mentally.

It was only first period.

"So take the first copy and pass it back," their English teacher Ms. McCall stopped in front of Blaines desk and handed the teen a few copies. She smiled when he looked up and gestured to his cell phone, making the rider sigh before pocketing it. "Id love to formally welcome you to Pace, Mr. Anderson. I happen to be a big fan of you and your friend here," she looked at Nick who was smiling, "but, that doesnt mean youll be able to get away with anything I dont let others get away with young man."

Blaine nodded as he took one of the packets and passed the others behind him. He watched the teacher smile and walk away, handing out the rest as Nick turned and smirked at him.

"Shes really a big softie. And Im not just saying that because shes hot," Nick listened as the teacher said a few more things before turning back to his best friend, "Jeff had her last year and said she was the most easy going Language Arts teacher on earth."

Blaine hummed and looked up to the front of the classroom. Ms. McCall tried getting this quiet Asian girl to read and struggled to hear as she started. "Im not sitting in the front with you tomorrow. I cant play 2048 in class if I sit in the front."

Nick shrugged. "Youre not supposed to play 2048 in class. And if you sit in the front, youll be more likely to pay attention and less likely to flunk, dont you think?"

Blaine rolled his eyes.

"Besides," Nick followed along on the paper, "Im really good in English class. You should want to sit next to me."

"Mr. Duval," the teacher held a finger to her lips and smiled at him. Blaine heard his friend apologize as he sat up straighter, looking down at the syllabus.

"Im sorry Ms. McCall. Sorry Kiri."

Kiri, the really quiet Asian girl nodded at the apology and continued to read. The teacher looked down at the paper as well.

Blaine sighed. It was only 25 minutes into his new school year and he was already bored with life. He already missed the summer and riding and being on the beach, making out with his boyfriend at all times and driving to Los Angeles to hang out. The only thing that he was looking forward to was having four classes with Kurt…. and skipping whatever class he had while Kurt was in dance so that he could watch him dance. He checked his schedule and frowned when he saw that it was Orchestra. Leonard Riley would probably have something to say about that.

Buzz.

Blaine looked up at his teacher and she was explaining something to her class. He quickly snuck his phone out of his pocket and slunk down in his seat to check who the message was from.

From Kurt:

Mon professeur veut que nous parlons seulement français pendant son cours.

Blaine put the cell phone on silent as he lifted an eyebrow, trying to translate. Then he realized that Kurt had his freaking cell phone and that confused him even more. He was on punishment still so why would Burt give him his phone? And more importantly, would he get to keep his phone all night? Because… that would be really, really nice.

From Kurt:

That means my teacher only wants us to speak in French while were in her class.

"Im not big on pop quizzes, but if I feel its necessary…"

"Booooo," one of the students in the back of the class joked. The teacher smiled. Blaine tried his best to hide what he was doing as he replied.

To Kurt:

YOU HAD YOUR PHONE THIS WHOLE TIME AND DIDN"T TELL ME? You can really be a jerk when you want to, you know that?

My English teacher doesnt want me to be on my phone in class and Nick insisted we sit in the front row. SMH. But youre going to have to let me hear more of this French… later on maybe? Before dad gets home…

Blaine hid his cell phone underneath his notebook and pretended to pay attention. Ms. McCall continued rambling about the Shakespeare sonnets theyd begin with and Nick started sketching on his syllabus. Other students appeared to be interested but were no doubt putting up a front just as Blaine was.

From Kurt:

My dad let me have it in case of emergencies. I think hes easing up a little, though. Ive been pretty good with the whole punishment thing. You know, besides that one time I snuck you in. But after that Ive behaved.

Oh, and Ill consider it mon amour. ;) Dont let me distract you, though. Ill see you next period for Math, cutie.

He licked his lips at the thought of getting Kurt alone. It had been a long time since theyd had time to themselves and Blaine was determined to find a place in Pace that was vacant or abandoned or something just to… relieve a little tension during times like these. There was also the option of sneaking out to his car during their lunch period but even with his tinted windows he knew that was a bad idea.

To Kurt:

Ill see you baby boy.

Blaine put his phone away and ran a hand through his hair. "How many more minutes?"

Nick looked at his watch. "Only ten. Hey… we shouldnt have any homework after school with it being the first day and all… do you want and the boys want to—"

"So, for your first homework assignment," Ms. McCall walked to the board as the class groaned. Blaine rolled his eyes but grabbed his pen to write it down.

"I was going to ask if you guys wanted to go to the indoor skate park out of town but I guess not."

Blaine looked up and saw the teacher had only written that they had to do some research for homework. He started to pack his things away after hed copied it down. "Well see how much we all have to do at the end of the day, I guess. Can we get out of here?"

Nick smiled. "I know you pretty much walked out of class whenever you wanted in your old school but here, we wait for the bell."

Blaine smiled. "Whatever, man."

….

"I just want you to know that you dont have to sit next to me in every class, Hunter. I know Im new here and all—"

"No, its cool. Im taking you under my wing." Hunter fixed his tie as the duo walked through the noisy halls. "We—oh shit hide me, thats my ex..." he ducked behind Kurt as they continued to walk and Kurt made a confuse face as the girl glared at the both of them.

"Shes looking right at us, Hunter."

Hunter urged them along before popping up again. "Ok, whatever. As I was saying, you and I need to be in tip top shape… we need to be on the same accord. I mean youre my right hand man—"

"Whatre you talking about?" Kurt nudged the teen away with a smile. "I thought we were competitors. Remember you said that at the foam party? And youre going to make me late for my math class."

Hunter smiled. "I thought that over. We can spend all year fighting for solos or we could work together and win all of our competitions. Im trying to get into a fancy college and I need another trophy under my belt. The big one won in Rome would be fantastic… hey are you stopping by your locker before class or…?"

Kurt pulled out his cell phone as he shook his head no. "No need to. Im going to have to go to the first floor for the math department right?"

Hunter nodded. "Yup. Go right beneath us. Ill see you in Dance class, dont be late."

Kurt smiled and waved goodbye. He tried to ignore all the looks he got as he went into the stairwell. People had been staring since he and Blaine showed up for school that morning and it wasnt anything he wasnt used to since meeting Blaine. Just like the countertenor told Nick, people would move on with their lives after the first few days.

Kurt walked onto the first floor and gasped as he was picked up and whirled around. He saw Nick first, smirking and rolling his eyes at the both of them before Blaine pushed him against the lockers.

"I missed you."

Kurt giggled and rolled his eyes. "I missed you too. Let me go so we can get to class, Anderson."

Blaine stole a kiss before dragging him away. "You sure you dont want to skip Math? Maybe we can go behind the bleachers and make out…"

Kurt ignored him as people watched the couple walk by. "So, Nicholas. How was English?"

Blaine smirked. "Fine. Ignore me. Ill remember this later." He pinched Kurts side and laughed when his boyfriend swung at him, dodging the hit.

"It was okay I guess. Weve got a pretty easy going teacher. Better than our math teacher…" he looked back at Kurt and gestured to the old man standing outside their math classroom. "I hear this guy is a Grade A dick."

Blaine straightened his shirt as he listened to their conversation. Kurt smiled and shook his head. "What makes you say that? I thought the teachers here were pretty professional according to you and your boyfriend…"

Nick nodded. "I mean they are. But Ive heard that this guy goes out of his way to remind us that we arent so special, despite being in a specialized school. A senior that graduated last year told me that Mr. Hayward thinks the students in Pace are spoiled and privileged and thats why he goes out of his way to give us the hard work that he does."

Blaine looked at the older man and they made eye contact. Mr. Haywards face changed as his brown eyes started to smirk.

"How honored am I to have the famous Blaine Anderson in my class?"

Kurt stopped at the entrance of the classroom and looked at his boyfriend. Blaine didnt react.

Nick sighed and forced a smile. "Hello Mr. Hayward. This is Kurt Hummel, hes new here as well—"

"Ive heard of Mr. Hummel," the man crossed his arms. "Ive seen your transcript and you appeared to be a decent student. I want you to know Ill be expecting a lot from you."

Kurt smiled. His grades were more than decent. "Thank you, Mr. Hayward."

The late bell rang and Blaine took Kurts hand and led them into the classroom. Their math instructor stared at the action and Nick cleared his throat, walking in afterwards.

….

From Jeff:

I had Hayward in my sophomore year but I transferred out. He was just too much for me.

Kurt read the text as Blaine showed him it and shrugged. He was pretty sure this guy was going to be a handful but he wasnt going to let that deter him from doing the best he could. No one was going to stand in the way of him and NYADA, especially not some elderly teacher with an attitude.

Blaine put his cell phone away as he looked at his boyfriend again. Kurt had given him some lip when he dragged them to the back of the classroom to sit but eventually he shut up. He took the moment now to admire his boyfriends outfit again and licked his lips while staring at Kurts. He wondered if it would be a bad idea to beg Burt to ease up on Kurts punishment. They all had learned their lesson and he wasnt a fan of going another weekend without getting to see his boyfriend. Burt would probably yell at him if he showed up at the shop—

"Mr. Anderson? Can you maybe answer the question that this lovely young lady cant answer?"

The Hispanic girl rolled her eyes away and went back to looking at her text book. Blaine hadnt been paying an ounce of attention and he knew that Hayward knew that, but he glanced at the math problem on the board and cleared his throat.

"After you move everything over to one side so that the equation is equal to 0, youll have a perfect square trinomial."

Nick stared at the board trying to follow along, and Kurt turned to look at Blaine as he spoke.

"You can then square root 49 to get 7 which can be doubled to get 14 which is the coefficient of x…. Next you factor that as a square equal to 0 and you get x= -7."

Nick turned around and smirked before facing their teacher again. Hayward looked half impressed and half upset that hed actually gotten it right. There was no doubt that Blaine wasnt paying an ounce of attention all class long so that meant he obviously knew what the hell he was doing.

"Very good. Im shocked. Now, for homework…"

The class moaned and Hayward smiled at the harmonious sound. "Ah, that sounds like a room full of performance art majors."

Kurt tried to hide his smile as he sent a text message.

From Kurt:

That was very sexy. I may need to be tutored after school some days…

Blaine smiled when he read the message and turned to wink at his boyfriend.

"I should point out that homework and test grades will be the biggest percentage of your grades."

Kurt sighed. So maybe Nick had a point. This guy seemed like he was going to be a pain in the neck.

Blaine didnt seem too bothered. His math was good and as long as he showed up to class hed be fine. Kurt and Nick wouldnt really let him skip class so there was that.

….

For third period, the boys were split up, except for Jeff and Kurt. They had their dance class along with Hunter and apparently it was an advanced class. Kurt wasnt sure if he should ask if a mistake was made or not, but Jeff told him hed be fine.

"You have a dancers body. Blaine says youre very flexible. Youll catch on quickly."

Hunter smiled and Kurt looked away from the both of them. This is what he had to look forward to all semester.

Their dance teacher was a hot 20 something guy from Costa Rica. He asked that all of his students call him by his first name Frankie. Most of the students in the class were familiar with him and Hunter gave Kurt the 4-1-1 on the guy.

"Never forget the choreography. Never forget your dance uniform. Dont talk while hes talking or while hes showing us the moves because he hates having to repeat himself. Remember these three things and youll be fine."

So Kurt nodded and he paid close attention to everything Frankie said, despite Liam being a TA in this class and doing what Kurt was pretty sure was flirting with him from across the room for the entire class. Also, despite having to listen to a conversation that was probably meant to be a bit quieter between Jeff and his ex-girlfriend, aka the girl he cheated on with the guy he was now dating, aka Victoria. It was probably going to be awkward having Dance class with one another but they seemed to be… at least trying.

In Blaines period three lesson, the teenager was trying to get accustomed to his Orchestra class with Leonard Riley. Things were a bit stricter than he was used to. He didnt know what he expected from the leader of the music department but he was hoping that this wouldnt be it.

But, the rider did notice that when paid attention, time happened to fly by.

And he did love music with a passion.

Plus, Leonard Riley did seem to respect him. That was more than he could say about any of the teachers he had before. Blaine looked at the sheet music in front of him as the girl beside him tuned her violin.

"Is this your first time playing in an Orchestra?"

He looked at her and nodded. "It is. Whats your name?"

"Dani," she smiled and looked up at Mr. Riley. "I have French with your boyfriend first period… hes fucking hot."

Blaine smiled now, looking back at their instructor as well. "I know."

"I just want to warn you. John over there on the bass has been eyeing you."

Blaine looked in the bass section and sure enough, a boy with tall brown hair and golden eyes was staring back. "His boyfriend is the red head on the viola and trust me hes the jealous type. Beware."

Blaine smirked now, turning to the brunette on his right. "Im shaking in my boots. Now stop paying attention to thirsty guys and pay more attention to our teacher, Dani."

She smiled and nodded.

Leonard Riley held up his hands and gestured for them to begin, and like Blaine thought early, time pretty much went by. He paid the bassist no attention and did pretty much perfect on his violin piece. Hopefully he could keep a low profile and breeze through this class.

….

To Blaine:

You know how you told me that I should let you know if I feel weird about Liam?

From Blaine:

Yes. What happened?

Kurt nodded to the red head who took a seat next to him, letting him know the seat was free. His English teacher was a glorified hippie who spent the first 15 minutes of class venting to everyone about how hed gotten his girlfriend pregnant again. They hadnt touched a syllabus or even discussed what theyd be learning or anything remotely reminiscent of what one does with a class on their first day.

"Blaines boyfriend, right?" the red head asked.

Kurt nodded. "Kurt Hummel."

"Im Zach. Nice to meet you."

Kurt nodded. "Nice to meet you as well."

"I have a few classes with Blaine so far. Its good to see other out students here at Pace. Theres a pretty good LGBT representation here at the school."

Kurt smiled at him. "Its good to have a place we can feel safe."

Zach nodded.

From Blaine:

Baby?

Kurt looked down at his phone and replied.

"Thats what I love about America," the teacher rambled on. "It truly is the land of the free."

Someone snored in front of the class and Kurt shook his head.

To Blaine:

Well I just wanted to keep you in the know. Hes my TA in dance and I dont know… he was kind of flirty today. Nothing too serious but enough to make me want to tell you.

From Blaine:

I dont want to get worked up in class. Tell me everything during Lunch okay?

To Blaine:

Alright baby. Hows Italian class so far?

"So how long have you two been together?"

Kurt smiled. "A couple months. Still in the honeymoon phase."

Zach nodded. "My boyfriend goes here as well. Were both music majors... his name is John. Let me know if you have any questions."

"I appreciate that a lot, Zach. Thanks." Kurt smiled softly as the boy nodded and looked up at their teacher.

"Never let someone tell you that you cant do it, students. You can do it!"

Kurt shook his head.

From Blaine:

Its ok. We have to speak Italian all the time here as well so Ill need to brush up. I cant stop thinking about you though…

Kurt smiled at the message.

From Blaine:

The guys want to go to an indoor skate park after school. Are you game?

"Now, I want you all to write about what you did over the summer."

"Are we in fourth grade or are we high school seniors, Mr. Rodney?"

"Shut up, Melissa!" another girl elbowed her in the side and she winced.

Kurt shook his head at his classmates and typed a quick message.

To Blaine:

If you want to Ill tag along. Only if we can bring Mikey with us… I miss my little boyfriend.

From Blaine:

Hmph. Give me 15 kisses and weve got a deal.

Kurt smiled, pulling out a piece of paper and beginning to write.

This summer, I was reacquainted with the one who was made for me…

….

Fifth period lunch class was interesting. Nick and Jeff had to get used to the all of the questions from their friends. They felt bad for their ex-girlfriends who were in the same lunch period and had to deal with all the weird looks when the guys they usually sat with sat across the room.

You know, because they were together now.

Jeff also had to get used to watching guys hit on Victoria. It wasnt that he was jealous or anything, he just realized he still had a bit of possessiveness inside of him over her that would hopefully disappear soon. You know, before Nick could notice.

Kurt didnt seem to be a fan of the menu. Blaine seemed genuinely confused because the food looked nothing like it did in your normal public schools… it looked edible. And appetizing, might he add. But Kurt shook his head no when they stood on line and Blaine decided he wouldnt eat either.

"We can go somewhere if you want, babe. We have forty minutes to be back inside."

Kurt nodded. "Thats a good idea. Then I can tell you about what happened in dance class."

So they left the building after explaining to Nick and Jeff that theyd be going to Olivers Salad Bar on East 3rd Street. Nick nodded okay and Jeff asked for them to stop and buy him nachos from somewhere on the way back. They ignored him.

Only Blaine realized once they were in the car that his boyfriend had totally played him…

"Shit, Hummel… oh god—"

"Youre already hard, baby," Kurt smiled as his hand played at the bulge over his boyfriends cargo shorts. He kissed his neck and started to suck lightly while palming him.

Blaine bit his lip and thought about driving away from the school parking lot. He didnt know how safe it was to mess around here with teachers going and coming back from lunch themselves.

"I went so long without getting to touch you," Kurt started to climb into his boyfriends lap and pushed the seat back, "and you havent even gotten to enjoy these piercings…"

Blaines eyes went wide when Kurt pulled his Polo off. They trailed down from his lips, over his chest, and he placed his hands at the boys waist as he saw the two studs on each side.

"God, baby…lets just go home…"

Kurt smiled and leant in to kiss him, making no effort to hide how horny he was as he grinded into the riders lap. Blaine bit on Kurts bottom lip and began to grope his ass.

So maybe school wouldnt be so bad.

"Mm, let me give you a hickey," Kurt whispered, slowly grinding his hips. "And then let me suck you off right here…"

"Kurt," Blaine almost pinched himself to see if he was dreaming, "are you sure you want to… here? Were in the parking lot…"

When he didnt get a vocal answer, he took it as a yes when his boyfriends hands were in his pants. Not that he minded at all because this was pretty fucking awesome. Seriously. He bit his lip as Kurt sucked on his neck, far above the collar of his floral shirt where he knew Kurt knew that everyone would be able to see, and tried his best not to cum in his pants before Kurts soft lips could even touch him.

After a minute, Blaines shirt was lifted and his eyes were closing as Kurt started to kiss down his chest. He kissed over his tattoo and then over his nipples, biting teasingly and making some really obscene noises as he got lower and lower.

And then he was pulling at Blaines belt buckle and sucking hickeys over his waist line and Blaine was pretty sure he had the best boyfriend on earth.

"Je veux que tu baises ma bouche aussi fort que vous le pouvez," Kurt purred before licking at the head of his boyfriends cock. Blaines eyes darkened as he watched.

"Ive no idea w-what you just said but fuck me, it was hot."

"I said," Kurt smiled and forced his boyfriends hands into his hair—something that was totally uncharacteristic of him. Not that Blaine minded in the slightest. "I need you to fuck my mouth— hard. Can you do that for me, daddy?"

Blaine nodded hard as he forced Kurt to deep throat him; eyes rolling back at the feeling. He thought about giving warning that he wouldnt last very long but he couldnt exactly speak, and he knew Kurt knew that anyway.

All in all, school wasnt so bad, and as he predicted, lunch period would be his favorite.

….

"What time is it?"

Blaine checked his Rolex as Kurt got the change from paying for their lunch. "Twenty to 12. Ill speed back to school, dont worry."

Kurt nodded and turned to face his boyfriend after he grabbed their bags. "I wish we had more time so I could give you another blowjob." he pouted and turned to leave and Blaine smiled, following after him.

"So what happened with your favorite TA?"

Kurt held the door and smiled as Blaine turned to face him, pulling out his car keys with the Mickey Mouse keychain. "He is far from my favorite anything. But every time I looked up, I did catch him staring and he makes the Liam face and I dont know. I dont want you to get in trouble for saying anything or doing anything that you shouldnt be doing—"

"Like what?" Blaine asked sarcastically. Kurt rolled his eyes and got into the car.

"You know, like hitting him."

Blaine smiled and started up the vehicle. "You know what babe, Im going to be the grown up. He can look all he wants, but he cant touch. If he even tries anything or looks like he wants to try anything then I reserve the right to hit him."

Kurt glared at his boyfriend. The car moved and he shook his head. "I dont want you to get in trouble. This is why I didnt want to say anything."

Blaine ignored him. "This morning, he told me to tell you that he liked your pants. Then he winked at me. If I was going to get in any trouble, I wouldve done something right there. But I didnt, because I know guys like him want to see me screw up and more importantly I know that you dont."

Kurt sighed while they drove down the East 3rd street. "If we both ignore him, hell get bored and move onto someone else."

"Doubt it. Have you seen you?" Blaine smirked. "Not only are you beautiful but youre smart and youre everything, Kurt."

Kurt looked at him.

"Ignore it, though. Unless it gets out of control, then Ill have to handle it. And dont forget that I have Jeff in that class as well. If you want to withhold information, my friend wont."

Kurt smiled and sat back. "I love you, knucklehead."

"I know you do," Blaine blew his boyfriend a kiss. "Now hold on tight so that I can get us back on time."

….

Their 6th period class was together. Blaine was annoyed because Hunter wouldnt stop talking to Kurt.

Oh, and Liam was the TA naturally.

But the good thing was Blaine was here so he could see all of the bullshit going on for himself. There was nothing like a firsthand account.

Leonard Riley gave this grand speech to the chorus. Blaine wrapped his arm around Kurts seat as they sat in the auditorium. He watched his boyfriend texting Justin and listened to all their teacher was saying.

"Im assigning the songs well be learning for the first month. At the beginning of each week well be giving the band their sheet music and the choir the lyrics to the songs thatll be performed. Sometimes youll be assigned solos, sometimes duets. During this time I am evaluating you all and deciding who will be our lead singers."

"Thats you cutie," Blaine whispered into Kurts ear. His boyfriend smiled.

"I hope so."

Hunter raised his hand to say something but Leonard Riley paid the teen no attention as he continued to speak. He huffed and looked away.

"I want to welcome our new students, countertenor Kurt Hummel, drummer Blaine Anderson, his wonderful hickey, alto Alicia Winston, and alto Sonia Sanchez."

Kurt smirked as Blaine smiled widely. Liam looked at the both of them and then away. The class snickered but gave a welcome to them all.

For the most part, class only consisted of discussions and getting to know one another, as well as talking about what would be expected over the course of the year. Blaine and Kurt made a few friends too. Though they knew Riley would be strict, they knew itd be an enjoyable class.

….

So 7th period Improvisation class was pretty funny. Their teacher was a quirky woman from NYC and she pretty much encouraged them to do the dumbest shit that came to mind. Blaines class clown nature got to shine here which was a good release for him having to be so watered down in his other classes, or as his teachers called it, behaved.

Their first exercise was simple, only Mrs. Swanson chose Blaine as the leader for whatever reason. Nick only shook his head. She explained the rules were to have the first person walk in a circle, and those after him imitate his movements. It started out decently, but before long, Blaine had the whole class twerking in a circle. Mrs. Swanson loved his innovation.

Kurt took a seat on the floor once the exercise was over and bit his lip when Blaine pulled him into his lap. He slapped his hand away and slid to sit next to him, listening as their teacher explained the next scenario.

One thing seemed certain: this class would prove to be an easy A. Kurt knew it was for the acting major Nick, and Blaine seemed to be good at improvisation since he had a ridiculously charming personality and thinking on his feet was totally necessary in getting out of trouble. Kurt had his share of acting experience as well and he was happy theyd have a course where they could learn while having a good time.

The class flew by just like the day had. Kurt walked with Blaine to his last class which was Music Tech and kissed him goodbye, only to have the boy pull him in close and kiss him again. And again. After someone whispered for them to get a room, Kurt smiled and pulled away, saying goodbye again.

"Ive gotta get across the building so we need to cut this short."

Blaine nodded and leant against the doorway. "Meet me by the car so we can go pick up Mike?"

Kurt smiled and nodded. "Sure. Later honey."

"I love you," Blaine blew another kiss and watched as Kurt blushed before walking away. He could feel his teacher tapping him on the shoulder and rolled his eyes before entering the classroom.

….

From Nick:

Were going to the indoor skate park to chill after Blaine and Kurt pick up Mikey. Itll probably be crowded but the kids there will probably leave early. Its a school night and all.

Jeff read the message before looking up at his teacher. He didnt really feel up to it. It was a long day and his head was starting to hurt. Plus he had to deal with Victoria passing notes to the guy next to her in this class. He obviously liked her and she didnt seem to be telling him to back off.

Not that it was any of his business but, still. Having to see it happen wasnt cool.

And it was like everyone in class was looking at him to see if hed react. It sucked.

From Nick:

Or we can go back to my place. The twins will be with a friend until my mom gets off work to pick them up. I told her Id be with you guys. Do you want to come over?

"Dont think that this will be an easy grade. Dont think that this class is pointless, either. Youll need a high average in this class if you intend on being in the winter recital." Jeffs History of Dance teacher Mrs. Lannister explained. "Ill try and make it as enjoyable for you all as possible. I know that this is your last class of the day and most days youll be burnt out by this point, but Im going to need you to tap into yourselves and focus. Can I ask that of you?"

The class nodded and Jeff did as well. She began to hand out the syllabus as he replied.

To Nick:

I would love to do the skate park but Im not feeling too great. Id much rather spend some time alone. Sorry, babe.

"Well go by the text book guys. Its as simple as that. By the end of each week, youll be examined on what we learned."

From Nick:

Dont worry about it. We probably shouldnt be hanging out too much after school. Anyway, Ill let the guys know and we can just go back to my place.

Jeff replied with a thank you and looked to the front of the class. He saw Vickie take the pass for the bathroom and ran a hand through his hair as she darted out.

"Mrs. Lannister?"

The woman turned back and raised an eyebrow. "How can I help you, Sterling?"

"My head is killing me. May I be excused to the nurse? …He has the medicine Im allowed to take."

The teacher quickly wrote out a pass for him as she nodded. Jeff thanked her and walked to the front of the class while many of his classmates giving him judging looks. "Try to hurry back. Were going over the syllabus, ok?"

"Sure. Thank you," he walked out of the classroom after glancing at the guy his ex-girlfriend had spent the first few minutes of class passing notes with. The guy didnt pay him much attention though.

In the hallway, Victoria had already made it all the way down the block and just about to the ladies room before Jeff called out to her. She stopped short and turned around to see him jogging over, giving the skater an odd look before smiling.

"Hey… whats up, punk?"

Jeff smiled and shook his head. "Nothing. Im on my way to the nurse. Pretty sure Im getting a wicked migraine."

The girl laughed and pushed her red hair back. "Geez, Sterling. Its the first day of classes. Wait until Wednesday, then howre you gonna feel?"

"Shut up," he smiled and leant against the wall. "I… listen, I know this is probably weird and all but," he looked up and saw Hunter walking into the boys room—the senior giving him a knowing look that he ignored. "I just want you to know that I still want to be in your life. I still want to be your friend. And Im sorry about everything thats happened between us—"

"Is this what you stopped me from going into the bathroom for?" she asked with a smile. "Listen, Jeff. You know that I love you and youre always going to be my friend, ok? What happened really sucked for me and for Naomi, but we can both see how the two of you feel for each other. That doesnt happen by accident."

Jeff nodded and looked at her. "I still feel like a jerk."

Vickie smiled. "Its probably because you were unfaithful and you hated my last boyfriend for the same thing…"

Jeff looked down.

"But thats in the past. Youre happy, right?"

"I like Nick so much," Jeff told her. "Were going through things but… am I holding you up?" he gestured to the bathroom and she laughed a bit, nodding.

"Ill meet you outside the nurse. Go ahead, ok?"

Jeff smiled and nodded, walking away after she went inside. He thought to himself that hed feel a lot better if he at least restored the friendships he had with Victoria and Naomi. The quicker that happened, the more likely it would be that everything would get back to normal, even though he was with Nick.

….

"So are you going to tell me how your scene and costume design class was? You keep letting me gush about Music Tech…"

"Well Ive never seen you this excited for anything that had anything to do with school. Im enjoying this," Kurt said with a laugh. He turned the radio in the car down a bit. "Of course Im just going to expect you to make me beautiful music now though..."

Blaine bit his lip as he drove towards Mikeys school. "I guess I could work something out. But seriously, tell me about your class, gorgeous."

"Ok," Kurt sat back. "My teacher is hot. She loved my portfolio. The guy who sits next to me seems like a bit of a jerk. His name is John… I dont know Im probably looking too much into it but everyone else seemed decent today and then there was him."

Blaine thought for a moment. John sounded familiar but he shrugged. "Theres always one asshole. But what are they gonna make you guys do?"

"I think well end up being assigned certain scenes or costumes to design for when the school puts on a play or musical. She said something about working on sets for outside projects too, as well as costuming, so Im looking forward to it. And we get to learn all of these techniques to boost our résumé… I can see it being something I pursue in the future."

Blaine smiled as Kurt slid his hand over his thigh. "Youre going to kick ass at this school arent you?"

"We are, Anderson. We are. And then well go to New York and kick ass there."

Blaine double parked outside of Mikeys elementary school so that they could wait for the boys 3:00 dismissal. He took his foot off the brake once the car was in park and looked at his boyfriend, smiling. "How much homework do you have?"

Kurt shook his head as he watched parents and guardians wait outside. "Not much. French, Math, looking over the lyrics for Chorus. Thats it. Everyone else was pretty lenient."

Blaine took his hand. "I have the most for Italian but itll be easy. Nick and Jeff cancelled on us but we can still go to the skate park if youre up to it… if youre curfew isnt hella early."

"Hm, dad didnt say." Kurt looked at his boyfriend. "I dont want to push it of course, but if Mikey doesnt have anything to do then I say we go have a little fun at the park."

"Meh, he probably just has to have auntie sign some crap or color something and thats it. Are you going to ride my bike on the ramps?"

Kurt smiled. "Im going to skateboard."

"Sure you are."

"What?" Kurt laughed and leaned across the center, kissing his cheek. "You think Im boring?"

Blaine bit his lip. "I think youre perfect. I just also think youre a liar."

"Screw you too," Kurt laughed and kissed him once more. "Ill go get the little one. Dont want you getting a ticket or anything."

Blaine smacked his ass when he got out of the car. "Love you!"

"Uh huh," Kurt closed the door behind him and walked towards the schoolyard where dismissal was going on. Some of the parents seemed a little stressed and Kurt smiled, knowing one day in the future hed be the same way. One day.

Now though, he smiled widely when he saw his little uniformed cutie walking in line with his class behind his teacher. The blonde made eye contact with him and his hazel eyes shined brightly. Kurt laughed, knowing that if he didnt walk over to where they were that Mikey would run away from his class and probably get into trouble for it, so he walked over to the little boy in his grey slacks, white button-down, and red and blue striped tie, waving as he approached.

Mikeys teacher checked names off the list as parents walked over and collected their kids. He smiled when the little boy practically bounced into Kurts arms, trying not to laugh. "Hey sweetie!"

Mikey squeezed him tightly and looked around at his classmates, gesturing to the blue eyed teen. "This is him!"

"You must be Kurt," the teacher; a tanned, handsome guy in his early thirties walked over and smiled at the both of them. "Hes told the class a lot about you. Im Mr. Washington."

Kurt took the mans hand as Mikey hugged him, barely hanging on. "Nice to meet you Mr. Washington." He then smiled at one of the little girls in the kindergarten class who said hello to him. "I hope it was all good things, huh?"

The teacher laughed and nodded. "Only the best."

Kurt nodded. "I know you were expecting his cousin Blaine to pick him up… hes here but hes in the car. How was he today?"

"Good." Mikey assured Kurt.

Mr. Washington smiled. "He was great. I can tell hes shy but hes also a brilliant boy and were really excited to learn this year, arent we?"

Mikey nodded to his teacher and then rested his head on Kurts shoulder. "We are."

"Good," Mr. Washington patted the boy on the back. "It was lovely to meet you. Goodbye Kurt, bye Mikey!"

"Goodbye," Kurt said, hiking Mikey higher in his arms as his little friend waved to the teacher. They turned and walked to the exit and Kurt laughed as the already tight hug got even tighter.

"Youre gonna squeeze me to death, buddy," Kurt joked.

"Dont ever get punished ever again," Mikey told him with a serious look on his face. "I miss seeing you a lot."

Kurt kissed his cheek and walked towards his boyfriends car. "I know. Im sorry; I will stay out of trouble. Promise."

"Pinky swear."

Kurt nodded and linked their pinkies, kissing Mikeys small hand afterwards. "Pinky swear. Do you have homework?"

Blaine got out of the car and went to the other side to open the door for them.

"I dont know," Mikey said.

That probably meant yes.

"Well were going to check to see if you do and then if we all finish our work early, well go hang out somewhere cool. And you can bring your big boy bike."

"After Kurt gives me my 15 kisses," Blaine said once they got to the car. He fixed his beanie before Mikey smiled and jumped into his arms; the little boy laughing at the way his big cousin tickled him. Kurt smiled as he watched the two goobers.

"Look at his uniform," Blaine said with a laugh. "You look ridiculous."

"He looks very handsome and dapper," Kurt told him. "One of the private schools in Ohio wears the same type of uniform, though they have blazers with a D on it."

Mikey smiled. "I wear it better though."

There were times where you could see exactly how much Blaines personality rubbed off on him.

"Lets get going, boys. I need my Mikey and Blaine alone time."

Blaine smiled and let his little cousin down, putting him in the backseat of the vehicle and strapping him in. He listened to the boy start talking about how good lunch was and laughed, smiling up at Kurt who made an obvious face.

Ok. Today wasnt so bad.

….

Jeff licked his lips; hands clutched into bars of Nicks headboard. He felt a moan growing in the back of his throat and though he knew he didnt have to stay quiet, he held it in. Nick moved slowly in between his legs while he peppered kisses over his neck. He could feel Jeff holding back and started to move faster until that wasnt an option anymore.

"Shit," Jeff pulled at the headboard and his eyes rolled back. Nick smiled and looked up at him, moving slower again.

"How do you feel?"

Jeff let go of a long breath and shuddered as his boyfriend started to push his shirt up. "Incredible…"

Nick laughed a little and looked down at Jeffs abdomen. "I mean your head… is it still bothering you?"

Jeff shook his head no and sat up so that Nick could help him with his shirt. "Not really. Its barely there… I want you really bad though… mm, fuck."

Nick leant in to kiss him, stopping a second later when his phone started to ring. Jeff groaned and pulled him back into the kiss; his hands finding Nicks ass and squeezing. For a while, they went back to grinding against one another until the incessant ringing go to be too much.

"Just," Nick pulled away and tried not to smile at the annoyed look on Jeffs face. "Just let me see who it is at least?"

Jeff looked at the spot on the bed his boyfriends phone lay and sighed. "Look… it stopped ringing. Now come on before your little sisters randomly show up like they always do…. You know youre still on punishment and I shouldnt even be here."

Nick licked his lips and grabbed the phone, ignoring Jeff. The blonde sucked his teeth and rolled over, running his fingers through his hair.

"Or you can do the opposite of what I asked."

Nick read the message a few times. "Im sorry baby."

Jeff shrugged. "Whatever. Who is it?"

"Ashleigh," Nick sat back on the bed and looked over at his boyfriend. "I…"

"No," Jeff sat up and looked at him, a little worried. "Call her back. Like, now!"

Nick rubbed over his stubble as he dialed the number, putting the call on speaker and placing it between him and his boyfriend. He watched Jeffs face and hoped that he wasnt wearing his heart on his sleeve right now because he was pretty scared himself.

"Hello? Nick?"

Nick looked from his boyfriend down to the phone. "Ash, yeah Im here. Hey…"

"Hey," she sounded a bit… relaxed. Jeff looked at Nick and was relieved that everything was ok. "I um, I wanted to let you know that I spoke to my parents. They dont really want me to travel back to Cali for anything on my own… especially with Brooklyn, and theyre not willing to come with us."

Nick took a deep breath and nodded. "Yeah, I figured that much."

"I do want you to meet her though. And I do want your family to get the chance to know her. Ive been selfish this entire time and I dont want to have… our daughter not know you. And you not know her… it wouldnt be fair."

Nick sighed. "Thanks for that much. I didnt want you to think I was harassing you but I just want to know how she looks at least. As for meeting her, well work something out. If I have to visit New York I will—"

"Im sorry again—"

"Dont worry about it," Nick told her. "I… were just going to move forward from here. I will try and be a good dad even though I know you have your boyfriend and all…"

Jeff listened for her response.

"Hes a good guy. But you are her father and I do want her to know that. Ok?"

"Yeah."

She said alright. "Ill send you a few pictures and I dont know. Maybe when I have a break from school, she and I can make our way out there. At least for a couple days? My parents will probably murder me but I do owe you that much."

Nick and Jeff were both quiet.

"If it wasnt for seeing Blaine, I dont think I wouldve ever told you. Id probably let her live her life thinking something that isnt true, and I hate that I was ok with it, you know? Im just sorry."

"Ashleigh, stop apologizing." Nick looked at his boyfriend. "Its ok because I didnt have great intentions when I found out you had a little girl either. Were both young so well just charge it to that and move forward. Deal?"

Jeff lay back down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"Deal." Ashleigh responded. "Im going to get back to her though and send you some pictures as promised. Ill chat with you some other time then."

Nick nodded. "Thank you. And yes, well talk."

"Bye."

The phone call disconnected and Nick stared down at his phone. Jeff continued to look at the ceiling and licked his lips.

"Youre both doing the right thing by trying. I think you should tell your mom about her granddaughter before everything piles up, though. Youve been quiet about me and about Brooklyn and if she finds out about these things from anyone else but you, Im sure shell be hurt. I would too."

Nick looked at him.

His phone went off the next second and Jeff turned to face his boyfriend. Hesitantly, Nick picked up the phone and stared at the messages content. After a moment he started to smile as he scrolled through the photos.

Her hair was dark and her eyes were green and she had the most adorable, fat cheeks hed ever seen. She was smiling in one of the pictures and it was easy to see she had her dads smile. And then it dawned on Nick that he helped make this little life—this little girl was part of him. He felt like hed missed so much of the process he was supposed to be part of and he was only going to continue to miss so much of her life.

"Baby?"

Nick looked at Jeff and handed him the phone. He smiled. "Its Brooklyn. Blaine described her perfectly."

Jeff took the phone and smiled as soon as he laid eyes on the little girl. He shook his head as he looked through all of the pictures, laughing a bit at the one where she was crying because hello, your dad is a drama major and youre going down the same path, young one. "Shes beautiful. You have a little girl, babe."

Nick shook his head as it started to sink in. "Yeah… I want to meet her. I want to hold her."

Jeff sat up. "You should probably tell your mom. She may be able to help."

Nick nodded and lay back down. "I know. Im just wondering if I want to go to her while Im grounded and tell her that I have a kid in New York. Not really helping my situation."

Jeff smiled. He lay down next to the brunette and they both looked at the little girl. "Shes gonna love you, you know."

Nick kissed his cheek. "Yeah."

….

Kurt laughed as he fell onto the wooden floor in the middle of the dome, Blaine tumbling on top of him. They could hear Mikeys hilarious laughter a couple yards away and Blaine groaned as he rolled off of his boyfriend.

"Thats the last time I share a skateboard with you, mister. You couldve killed us."

Kurt laughed as he crawled over to his board. "Well look at you. One day at a performing arts school and youre already as dramatic as they come."

Blaine smiled and gestured for Mikey to come over so that he could fix his helmet. "You love me."

"Always will," Kurt got up and grabbed the skateboard, mounting it again. "I think that I skate better than you BMX though."

Mikey started laughing and Blaine snorted; the two of them unable to keep their composure. Kurt folded his arms, trying to appear angry but unable to when the both of them were being Mikey and Blaine.

"Fine. Laugh all you want. Ill show the both of you."

Blaine fixed his cousins helmet and looked at the blonde, shaking his head. "I bet Ill be the one having to do the bandaging after today, huh?"

Mikey smiled. "Kurtie can do it! Lets go get our bikes."

Blaine stood up and went over to get his. He was riding the birthday present from Kurt; his purple and gold bike that the teen had made himself, and a lot of the guys were complimenting him on it.

Kurt started to kick and push as he rode the skateboard around the dome. He coasted for a while and put his hands out on each side in a way that Blaine thought Kurt mustve thought made him look cool. Mikey clapped his hands for him.

"Lets make things interesting, Hummel." Blaine sat back on his bike as Mikey knew that the smile on his cousins face meant they were going to have big boy talk that he didnt understand yet. He got on his bike and started to ride his around the indoor park. Blaine watched him go before motioning to Kurt. "Come here."

Kurt smiled as he tried to slow down, shaking his head no. "Im not interested in whatever youre selling."

"Oh, but you are." Blaine rode down into the dome, speeding up and starting to chase Kurt. His boyfriend squealed and did his best to get away without hurting himself.

"Stop!"

Blaine laughed and did a wheelie, hopping off of his bike. "Come here and I wont chase you."

Kurt stepped off of the board and jumped back, watching it continue to roll around the dome. He looked at Blaine. "What do you want?"

"Come here," Blaine repeated with a laugh. Kurt smiled and slowly swayed over to him.

"First, Im not riding your bike on the ramp. I dont care how nicely you ask me or how much you kiss me."

"Second?" Blaine asked with a grin.

"Secondly Im not going to mess around with you while were alone with your little cousin so get that out of your head."

"It had nothing to do with sex so now whos the pervert?"

Kurt smiled. "Youre still the pervert."

"Ill teach you a trick on the board. Its fairly simple. If you can pull it off, Ill do whatever it is that you want. If you cant, you do whatever I want."

Kurt smirked. "And this isnt about sex? Ok…"

"It doesnt have to be," Blaine put his bike down. "Youll have three tries to pull it off. If you can do it, I wont say no to whatever it is that you want."

Kurt went to climb out of the dome with Blaine as he thought about it. How hard could a little trick be? "Fine but only because I want to prove you and Mikey wrong."

Blaine laughed again and put the board down, skating forward. "Its called the Casper." When he stopped, he put it face down and placed his foot behind the back wheels. "Basically you put your right foot on the tail and your left foot underneath the bottom of the board like this."

Kurt walked over with crossed arms as he watched and listened.

"Then youre going to want to swing your body 180 degrees to your right," he demonstrated, "and jump over it like this," Blaine landed on the board easily and smiled at Kurt. "Should I show you again? Its not hard at all."

Kurt smirked and shook his head, not believing he got himself into this situation. "Show me again and then I get a practice shot."

"No practice, that wasnt part of our deal you cheater," Blaine smiled and repeated the trick as Mikey rode over. "See? Nice and easy. Dont try to be Ryan Sheckler and you should be fine."

Kurt rolled his eyes and accepted the skateboard, setting it down on his foot exactly how his boyfriend had shown him. He put his right foot on the tail and looked at Mikey before taking a deep breath.

"If I fall…"

"Ill kiss it all better." Blaine assured him.

Mikey looked at his cousin. "You should make him kiss that boo boo on your neck better too, Blainey. You said you wouldnt walk into any more cabinets…"

Kurt smiled at his boyfriend. "Youre so clumsy."

Blaine rubbed over the hickey. "Just do it, Hummel."

"Ok," Kurt looked down at the board and slowly at first started to twist his body. When he jumped over it, he wobbled a little and stumbled back, just catching himself before he could you know… break his neck.

Mikey gasped as Blaine went to get the board, catching it before it rolled into the dome. "Be careful!"

Kurt laughed. "Alright I know what I did wrong. I got it this time."

Blaine smiled as he put it back down on the ground. "Youre over eager. Take it easy. Relax…" Kurt placed his left foot beneath the board as he looked at Blaine. "The less you think about it the more natural it will feel."

"Hm," Kurt licked his lips. "What if you give me a good luck kiss?"

Blaine looked around the skate park and smiled. "Why would I want to help the competition?"

"Because you love the competition and if the competition wins, hes going to make you do whatever he wants and youre going to love each and every second of it."

Blaine turned to look back at Kurt and his boyfriend smirked, leaning in to whisper into his ear. "Every. Single. Second."

Mikey covered his eyes. "Come on already!"

Blaine licked his lips and kissed Kurts cheek, followed by a kiss to his lips when the younger teen pulled away. It was soft and lasted a second longer than necessary maybe, but Kurt pulled away with a smile and a small thank you. Blaine nodded; taking a few steps back and watching him get ready.

And on the second try – probably thanks to that good luck kiss – Kurt had succeeded at pulling off the Casper. His landing was a bit shaky but he landed it nonetheless, and the cocky smile he gave as he started to cabbage patch made Mikey laugh and clap loudly.

Blaine bit his lip and clapped as well – at least he tried too. Cooper joked that the kid could never quite get the hang of it – and he waited for Kurt to walk over to him before giving his congratulations. "I knew you could do it…"

Kurt laughed, carrying the black and purple skateboard. "Oh did you, Mr. Im Your Competition?"

"Yeah," Blaine smiled. "Let me get a video of you doing that for Jeff and then maybe," he pulled him close, "you can tell me what it is youre going to make me do…" his eyes hungrily roamed over Kurts body, staring particularly long at his crotch, and his boyfriend smiled.

"Oh, thats easy. Whatever I wanted, right? Youre going skinny dipping."

Mikey looked up at them curiously as he sucked on his ring pop. "Whats that?"

Blaines face dropped and Kurt laughed, walking away. "Make sure you catch my good side for this video. Jeff will love it."

….

The boys silently cursed when they pulled up at the Hummel residence around 6pm and Burts truck was in the driveway. Mikey was singing along to the Usher song on the radio as Kurt wondered just how much trouble he would be in for not being home yet and Blaine sighed, hoping it wasnt too severe.

They got out of the car and Kurt took Mikeys hand, walking him to the Kinsella home. Blaine watched them go before jogging up the steps with his and Kurts backpacks in tow. He unlocked the door to Kurts place and peeked inside, looking for Burt.

The man could be heard in the kitchen, humming the tune to an old Sinatra song as the faucet ran. Blaine looked at the television and saw that the local news was on; the weatherman promising a beautiful week as usual. Blaine put their bags down and fixed his red beanie, making his way into the kitchen.

There was takeout on the kitchen island. It looked like hed intended to have dinner with Kurt, and Blaine felt bad that theyd gotten back at this time. He cleared his throat before saying hello.

"Good evening…"

Burt turned away from the sink, a bit startled, but smiled a bit when he saw Blaine in his kitchen. He turned the water off and grabbed a hand towel. "Anderson. Hey… wheres Kurt?"

Blaine pointed somewhere before putting his hands in his pockets. "He walked Mikey next door to my uncle. We um, took him to this skate park. I know hes grounded so we probably shouldnt have but Im sorry."

Burt nodded and tossed the towel away. "Dont worry about it. He and I will set a curfew for school nights and all but it wont be this early. Im not that lame. You want to stay for dinner, bud?"

Blaine was shocked but quickly nodded yes. "Sure. Id love to, thanks."

"No problem," Burt went over and got a few plates to set the table with. "So how was day number one at this fancy school of yours? Was it worth the hype? Ive been hearing about it since I told him we were moving to Long Beach and if Neil Patrick Harris himself wasnt one of the teachers then Ill be greatly disappointed."

Blaine smiled and took a seat at the island. "There was no Neil Patrick Harris but Kurt loves the school just as well."

"Mhm," Burt took a seat and looked at him. "Im sorry to change the subject but can you go put on one of your boyfriends scarves or something? That thing is distracting."

Blaines eyes went wide and he nodded, hopping down from the stool. "Oh… yeah. Be right back."

Burt smirked and started to put food on the plates.

As Kurt walked in, he was a little frightened when he saw his boyfriend running from the kitchen. Thoughts of his father mentioning his gun collection went through his mind until Blaine motioned to his hickey and made a face and then gestured upstairs.

"Im going to get a scarf. Theres dinner. Chinese…" his voice faded when he got upstairs and Kurt could hear the faint sound of his bedroom door flying open. He smiled a little and shook his head, stepping out of his shoes and going towards the kitchen.

Burt looked up at him with a smirk that only Burt could wear and his son waved hello, going to take the seat next to him.

"Hi dad."

"Uh huh." Burt smiled and patted his son on the shoulder. "Welcome home, kiddo. How was your day? Dont tell me everything…"

Kurt ignored him as he went to wash his hands. "You know. I love Pace. I love getting to be surrounded by people who love what they are interested in as much as I do and Im so grateful for this opportunity." He returned to the island and thanked his father for dinner.

Burt nodded and took a bite from his food. "Thats a genuine answer and not some stock version, right?"

Kurt smiled and looked at his dad. "Im genuine no matter how typical the reply may be." As he reached over to pour them all something to drink, Blaine walked back in with three different scarves from Kurts collection on, drying his hands on his shorts. His boyfriend rolled his eyes and continued to speak as Burt laughed. "And I cant deny that getting to go to school with that guy is a bonus as well."

Blaine took his seat next to Kurt and grabbed his fork. "Im not saying that I am going to be getting into any trouble or anything but theres this teachers assistant there that I dont like because he openly flirts with Kurt. Since day one, really," Blaine said as Kurt sighed. "And hes like 20 something."

"Hes 20," Kurt told him. "Hes 20 and not an issue."

Burt looked at his son.

"Im pretty sure hes being annoying to get on Blaines nerves. Most of the kids there are threatened by someone whos as known as Blaine when they were used to being the center of attention—"

"Only hes not a kid," Burt stated.

Blaine nodded. "Ive already determined that if I deal with it off-campus that I cant be punished."

Kurt looked away from the both of them and down at his plate. "But then he could totally sabotage your grades or some stupidity and thats the last thing we need."

Burt looked up at them as he took a sip from his glass. "Im going to give some very simple advice to you so that any arguments over this guy can be avoided. Blaine, trust Kurt and dont pay the TA any attention. All he wants is attention. Kurt…" he looked at his son, "Dont feed into any of this guys bullshit. I send you to school for an education, not to be harassed by 20 year olds."

Kurt nodded. "Neither of you have anything to worry about. Blaine knows that," he looked at his boyfriend who was very much into his food right now, "and now you know that dad."

Blaine took another bite and adjusted the scarves around his neck. "We just want Liam to know that."

Kurt ate quietly as he thought about what was said. He seriously considered talking to one of the teachers at the school if any of this got out of hand. That was the only way he could think of toning down the flirtation from his TA and keeping his boyfriend out of trouble for probably getting fed up one day and making a move. He didnt want anything to be blown out of proportion or to distract from their schooling. Maybe if it came down to it, hed talk to Leonard Riley.

Burt and Blaine had continued to talk as they all ate and Kurt shook his head from his thoughts as he paid more attention to the conversation at hand.

"Anyway," Blaine swallowed. "I think I want to be a music producer one day. I think I want to write music and produce for a career, so Im going to look at schools for that."

Kurt looked up a little shocked and Burt nodded. "So youre both looking at New York when you start applying, right?"

Blaine nodded and looked at his boyfriend. "Nick and Jeff are talking about dorming where they want to go to school but Im going to start looking at apartments after we apply to our colleges."

Burt nodded. "I hope youre more focused on your grades right now. Apartment hunting can wait."

"Yeah I am," Blaine told him. He finished eating and shrugged as he grabbed his glass. "I am."

"I love how you tell my dad this stuff before I get to hear any of it," Kurt said with a smile. He watched Blaine steal a piece of broccoli from his plate before wincing at the wet kiss on the cheek he got.

"I was telling the both of you," Blaine got up and went to clear his dishes.

"Dont be in a rush to grow up though, boys. I know the living on your own thing sounds appealing and all but," Burt looked back at them as Kurt got up to help clean as well. "Make sure you have your priorities in order. School comes first."

Blaine listened to him.

"We know, dad," Kurt turned around and wrapped his arm around the mans shoulder. "Tell me how your day was, though."

Burt took his last bite and swallowed before answering. Blaine finished washing the dishes and returned to the table. "You know… did a repair for a bitter woman who assumed I was trying to cheat her when she got her bill because she wasnt a man and had no idea what was wrong with her car though I explained it several times. One of the cars I had to tow was stuck in traffic so that was fun and wasted a few hours out of my day. But I came home early to see you two and make sure things went smoothly."

Blaine batted his eyelashes at him and Kurt laughed.

"We love you too old man," said his son. "Oh, Im pretty sure Don fired me when I went to drop Mikey off."

Blaine and Burt both looked at him. "What?"

"Well," Kurt walked over to Blaine now and took a seat beside him, "he says that he wants Blaine and I focused on our classes. Something about them being demanding and how if I was at the shop I wouldnt be able to give it my all, which I guess is true. But I did like the money."

Burt watched his son start to pack up the leftovers. "You can always work for him or even for me when theres a holiday or something. Its not like you have rent to pay."

Blaine smirked. "He has shoes to buy…ouch. Uncalled for, Kurt."

Burt laughed at the two and stood up to put his things in the sink. "Homework is done, right?"

"Yeah," Kurt put everything in the fridge. "We finished it earlier. Mikey helped me with my French."

Blaine stared at Kurts ass as discreetly as he could as the teen bent over. He looked at Burt and was thankful the man wasnt paying him any attention, and then back to Kurt and licked his lips.

"Well then Im sure you got them all right."

Kurt stood up now and stretched, his polo rising a little with the action. He caught his boyfriend staring and smirked, walking over and kissing his forehead. "Are you leaving any time soon?"

Blaine shook his head no as his hands rested along the island. "Not if your dad lets me stay a while."

"You can stay until 8," Burt turned the water off and went towards the bathroom. "Down here though. He still has a week left on punishment."

Kurt smiled and looked at Blaine as the boy pouted. "Stay, okay? Im going to change into something comfortable and then we can watch something on TV."

Blaine nodded, pulling him in for a quick kiss before Kurt was pulling away. He sighed and let go, wishing on a million stars that he could follow him up the stairs and lock the door and strip down to next to nothing.

Blaine sat there for a moment, yawning and looking at the time. They still had over an hour to hang out before he had to leave. Cooper texted him to make sure that he was okay and Blaine tiredly replied that hed be in around 8:15ish.

Burt came out of the restroom and looked at Blaine sitting at the kitchen island. He raised an eyebrow and gestured to the living room. "You can make yourself at home, bud."

Blaine looked at him for a while. "Can I ask you a question?"

Burt made a here we go face as he smiled, nodding yes. "What is it?"

Blaine rubbed at the nape of his neck and led the way into the living room. Kurts father slowly followed.

"The night we got back from Ohio, Kurt was telling me that you and him had a talk about… well about him and I," Blaine took a seat on the sofa while Burt remained standing, preparing to go to bed for the night. "You know? Me and him here… and what we were allowed to do."

Burt stared at him.

Blaine took a deep breath and put the television on mute. "Ok. Youre going to make me say it. You and Kurt talked about… well he told me that you said the two of us were allowed to like… do things here. Well not things but… ok sex. He said that you told him that we were allowed to have sex here and youd be ok with it if we kept it quiet and I didnt believe him."

Burt stared some more.

Blaine looked up at him. "A yes or a no, pops. Thats all I need."

"I said it," Burt answered. "Why dont you believe Id say that?"

Blaine looked at him obviously. "Im pretty sure I dont have to answer that. You know our history better than anyone and—"

"We got off to a rough start but I consider you my boy just like I consider Kurt and if youre here and youre being safe, I dont mind it. I know youre going to do it, and Im not going to act like stopping it from happening here is doing anything. I did ask him that the both of you not let me know what youre doing though. I dont think thats too much to ask."

Blaine folded his hands as he nodded. "Youre right. It isnt… um, thanks by the way. I mean I dont want you to think thats all we do when were alone because it isnt."

Burt stared at him again.

Blaine licked his lips. "But, it would be cool if I could stay over tonight—"

"No."
