It's Only Dreamin' Fast

It was Monday morning and Kurt Hummel jumped out of his car, hurrying to the school while clutching a few book to his chest for which wasn't enough space in his satchel. He entered the school building with fast steps to avoid Karofsky and the other jocks who were usually arriving just a few minutes from now. He turned around to look if they had already arrived but there was no one in the parking lot.

”Thank god”,he said to himself ,turning around the corner just to bump again something hard. Or someone,he realized...
Kurt felt his books falling to the ground and stumbled backwards against the lockers, hitting his head and sliding to the ground. He felt confused in the first place,ignoring the pain in his head. Considering he has been too late to avoid the jocks he looked up very slowly and got himself ready to run or apologize before something really bad could happen to him. Like a slushy in his styled hair or a maybe a fist in his face...Nobody had really punched him but in the last weeks he got more and more attacked by the jocks and he just knew that someday the emotional pain wouldn't be enough for them anymore. They seemed to be very eager to make his life the hell on earth. Kurt wasn't even afraid any more. He just knew it would happen and he couldn't change anything. So when he turned his gaze up to the person standing in front of him he was surprised seeing an extended hand in front of him and a face he doesn't know.

It was a boy standing in front of him with a worried expression on his face. The boy was pretty. Kurt realized. Gorgeous actually. His skin was lightly tanned and he had dark gelled hair and pretty hazel eyes which looked sympathetically down at Kurt.
Kurt felt frozen and unable to do anything except of staring at the other boy. The boy looked more and more worried and opened his mouth to say something:

“Are you hurt? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry I just wasn't looking!”,he said.
Kurt opened his mouth but nothing came out he just kept staring.

“Oh my god,you're really hurt. I'm so sorry!I should have...”
“No!”,Kurt managed to say “That was actually my fault!” He tried to get up and looked at the boy's still outstretched hand.
“C'mon ,I'll help you”,the boy said.
Kurt took the boy's hand hesitantly like he thought the boy could change his mind and pull it away before he could take it. But he didn't. He just pulled Kurt to his feet and looked at him with his eyes still looking worried.
“Do your head hurt pretty bad?”, he asked while he picked up some of Kurt's books.
“No, actually it's fine!It really wasn't that bad!” ,Kurt lied. He felt a pounding in his head and he knew he was getting a headache.
“I'm so sorry”, the boy repeated when he handed Kurt his books back “I'm new here and I didn't know where to go so I was a little bit lost in my thoughts...”

“It's okay,really”, Kurt assured smiling at the other boy. “ I wasn't paying attention either!”

The boy in front of him smiled back then and Kurt felt like this smile could light up the whole world. He looked at the boy more closely. He was actually a little bit smaller than Kurt and was wearing dark jeans, a squared shirt under a gray sweater vest and a bow tie. Kurt looked at him in surprise. Nobody at McKinley was wearing bow ties except for him. Kurt noticed that he was staring when the other boy cleared his throat and began to speak.

“Hmm,let's say we both didn't pay much attention” , he said “By the way:My name is Blaine”

He offered his hand to Kurt.
“Kurt”, Kurt managed to say and took the boy's- no,Blaine's -hand and shook it gently.

“So,where do you have your first class?” ,Kurt asked just to say something.

“I have actually no idea” Blaine laughed. He had actually a very nice laugh. Everything about Blaine seemed to be nice but Kurt didn't have the time to get lost in his thoughts at the moment.

“My schedule says I'm going to have chemistry first but I've no idea where I've to go”,Blaine said still smiling.
Kurt's face lit up. “That's no problem! The chemistry rooms are just around the corner! If you hurry up you won't be late!”

Blaine took a glance at his watch. “Shit,I really have to hurry!I don't want to be late for my first day at my new school. Thanks for the help,Kurt”, he said and smiled at him again.

“No, problem” Kurt smiled back. “Maybe we see each other later.”, he said.
“Yeah,that would be nice. See you” ,Blaine said and smiled at Kurt one last time before he turned around the corner and out of Kurt's sight.
“See ya...”, Kurt mumbled still looking at the spot were Blaine disappeared. He just stand there alone for a few before he noticed that he was supposed to be in his English lesson by now. So he walked slowly away,the books clutched to his chest again his mind wandering to the nice guy he just met. This day was actually starting very nice...

Kurt was disappointed. He hadn't seen Blaine the whole day. They hadn't any classes together and at lunch break he didn't see Blaine either. He didn't know why he wanted to see Blaine so badly. Maybe it was because Kurt was really missing the contact to other boys. Sure he was gay but that didn't mean that he didn't want to be friends with boys. He loved his girls and he knew that they loved him but sometimes it wasn't enough. Not that he would ever admit it to anyone of them. It was stupid to miss contact to the boys. They had a stupid sense of humor, no sense in fashion and smelled pretty bad sometimes. The only boy he was speaking to was his step brother Finn and Kurt couldn't say that he was the best company. He played video games all the time or he was eating. Nothing Kurt really liked. Sure, he liked his brother and there was a time he also had a crush on him -a time Kurt didn't like to think about- but Finn wasn't the best guy to talk to. The boys in Glee-club barely talked to him and they never invited him to anything and -even if he would never admit it- he missed just to have stupid conversations with them. He sometimes felt a little bit lonely.

No,he reminded himself,you have the girls and you like chatting with them. You love to go shopping and to have lazy evenings with them! But he didn't lose the feeling that something was missing...

Kurt sighed and shook his head. He wouldn't think about it now, there was Glee practice and he didn't want that the girls to ask him questions about his bad mood. So when he arrived at the choir room he planted a smile on his face and seated himself on his usual chair next to Mercedes. The chair next to him was empty as always...
No,he reminded himself, you're happy with what you have. Now stop to think about it and greet Mercedes.
“Hey, Mercedes” , he said and smiled at her.
“Hy, Kurt”, she smiled back “How was French?”

“C'était bien”, he replied and grinned at her.

Mercedes just rolled her eyes at his perfect French accent and began to talk about her weekend when Mr Schuester walked in to the room.
“Hey guys!” ,he said. “Guess what. I have a surprise for you! A new member!”

He pointed to the door and Kurt's eyes widened in surprise. Blaine was walking in. The Blaine he was talking to this morning. The Blaine he has missed all day even if he barely knew him.

When Blaine saw Kurt he smiled at him and Kurt just smiled back, grinning like a fool. Mercedes raised one eyebrow in confusion.

“Do you two know each other?”, she whispered. Looking from Kurt to Blaine and back to Kurt.

“Ühm,yeah. I just sort of walked into him this morning”,Kurt giggled.

Before Mercedes could say anything else, Mr Schuester began to speak:

“Maybe you could introduce yourself to the others”, he smiled at Blaine.

“Üh,yeah. My name's Blaine Anderson and I transferred from Dalton Academy. I love to sing and that's why I'm here”,he said smiling. He seemed to be a little bit nervous to be the new one but tried not to show it.

“Great!”, Mr Shue clapped his hands. “Take a seat Blaine.”

Blaine began to walk to the chairs and -to everyone's surprise- took the chair next to Kurt and not one next to the other boys.

“Nice to see you again”,he said to Kurt, smiling.

Kurt just smiled unable to say anything.

“Damn”, Santana groaned. “Totally Hummel's team!”

Brittany looked at her: “You mean he's a dolphin?” Santana just nodded.

Blaine look confused and opened his mouth to ask something but Mr Shue cut into his words.

“Hmm,Blaine?You're new here so if you want you can sing a song.”, he said.

Blaine smiled as he answered: “I'd like to but maybe we could do a number all together, so they can hear my voice and I can hear their!”

He looked a little bit self conscious as he explained his suggestion but Mr Schuester just smiled at him:

“That's a great idea actually! But you chose the song”

Blaine thought about it a few seconds and then he answered:

“What about Maroon 5's “Moves like Jagger”?”, he proposed.

Everybody murmured in agreement, happy with the idea.

Mr Shue clapped his hand again: “Then, let's go to the auditorium and everybody should think about a few dance moves!” He winked at Finn who looked at him in shock.

“C'mon guys!”

Kurt felt a little bit self conscious to perform in front of Blaine but when the music started he switched to his performer mode and began to dance along with the others. Blaine had agreed to open the number. Everybody was watching Blaine as he opened his mouth and began to sing:

Just shoot for the stars

If it feels right

Then aim for my heart

If you feel like

Can take me away and make it okay

I swear I'll behave

Blaine was good. No he was amazing. His voice was smooth and nice and he moved great along with the music. Kurt looked at him in amazement. This boy was perfect! He was good looking, had a great style and he could sing and dance like a god! Kurt almost forgot to dance for a minute. After Blaine's verse ended, Artie began to sing and after him Brittany started. Kurt had to concentrate not to miss his entry. He heard Mercedes voice like it was far away because he was so lost in his thoughts about Blaine. But he knew he had to concentrate if he didn't want to miss his part.

You want to know how to make me smile

Take control ,own me just for the night

But if I share my secret

You gonna have to keep it

Nobody else can see this

And then it was his turn. And Kurt became one with the song. He just felt the beat in his heart and it felt like he had never sung like this before.

So watch and learn

I won't show you twice

Head to toe,ooh baby,roll me right

But if I share my secret

You gonna have to keep it

Nobody else can see this...hey,ey,ey,yeah!

Kurt felt sort of disappointed when his verse ended but he felt Blaine's impressed gaze on him and so he just smiled widely at him, blushing widely.

When the song was over, everyone was breaking into applause. Laughing and clapping they collapsed on the floor and tried to catch their breaths.

“Wow,guys that was fantastic”, Mr Schuester said, still clapping his hands.

After a few minutes sitting on the floor and catching their breaths, Blaine walked over to were Mercedes and Kurt were sitting and seated himself next to them.

With a smile he said: “Wow,all of you are so talented! But I've to say I've never heard voices quiet like yours! You two are amazing!”

Kurt grinned at him, wanting to return the compliment but not finding his voice to say it so he just kept smiling.

“I think I like you, new kid”, Mercedes said with a wink.

Blaine laughed and Kurt could only agree with her...
