Day 1
“There is nothing wrong with me, dad,” Kurt sighed into his phone, half running to avoid getting too wet thanks to the rain pouring down. “I went to see Doctor Lewis last week for the results and she said I was perfectly fine. She said it might be just stress.”
Kurt was more than happy to accept such diagnose because it made sense – he had been stressing over the application process for a summer internship that he had had to go through in recent weeks. However, his dad wasn’t that quick to believe the doctor since his son must have fainted for a more serious reason. Or at least he thought so.
“Might, Kurt, might,” he argued. “Call her today and ask her to run additional tests. I want to know that my kid is as healthy as a twenty-three-year-old is supposed to be.”
“Will you feel better if I say I will?”
“I will feel better if you actually do it. But for now a promise will do.”
Kurt jumped over a big puddle and almost tripped. He checked his watch to see that, thankfully, he still had ten minutes before his interview.
“Fine, I will call Doctor Lewis and ask her if there is something she can do,” he finally said, crossing his fingers.
“And let me know how it goes, alright?” his dad asked but his voice revealed the real message – you better go or I will fly to New York and drag your ass myself.
“Of course. But I’m sure there is nothing wrong,” Kurt said calmly, though slightly out of breath. “I’m almost there, dad. I’ll call you next week.”
“Take care of yourself, son. I love you.”
“I love you too,” Kurt said and hung up.
He stopped in front of a tall building and raised his eyes to see big letters forming the name PAG corp. It was Kurt’s biggest dream to work in the company that was known for many life-changing discoveries. The world’s greatest scientists worked there and the young man couldn’t help but imagine himself among them. If he managed to get that internship, the position would be almost guaranteed once he graduated.
Taking a long breath Kurt stepped inside the building and looked around to see where he was supposed to go.
“Who do you think you are?” he heard the voice and turned around to see an unfriendly-looking man whose uniform showed that he was a janitor. “Running around leaving mud.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, I–” Kurt began.
“Oh thank god! It’s going to be so much easier to clean the floor now that I know that you are sorry. How lucky of me,” the janitor said in a low voice.
Kurt couldn’t help but feel intimidated. “I apologise, if I had time I would help you clean the mess but I have an interview in a few minutes and–”
“Do you think you are better than me?”
Kurt shook his head, his eyes big in fear.
“Do you think you can walk over me because you know how to mix two chemicals together? Well, I have news for you – I can do that too. But try to clean wine out of the carpet. Can you, huh?”
Kurt shook his head again.
“Thought so. But still you don’t respect neither me nor my work. Well, dishonour on your cow!” the man shouted and walked away.
It took several moments for Kurt to snap out of his shock. He walked towards the reception and saw an annoying smirk on the receptionist’s face.
“Hi, my name is Kurt Hummel. I’m here for an interview,” he said.
The girl gave him a visitor’s name badge and a fake overly-polite smile. “Dr. Pillsbury will be with you in a minute.”
“Excuse me? I thought I would be interviewed by Prof. Schuester. I thought he was responsible for the evaluation process.”
“He is,” the girl nodded. ”But Dr. Pillsbury is the one who makes the final decision so she interviews the three finalists.”
“Three? There are only three of us?”
“Yes. Now could you, please, wait for her over there?” she asked waving at the direction of the line of the chairs.
“Thank you,” Kurt forced himself to smile even though he felt like there was an anvil in his stomach.
The man walked over where he was supposed to wait and sat down. Looking around he appreciated a dainty interior. But what really caught his attention was a curly-haired man with thick glasses, who walked into the building not long after and went straight to the reception. He couldn’t be much older than Kurt and he felt like this man could be his competition. His suspicions grew ever bigger when the man started walking towards him.
“Hello,” the man gave him a wide smile, “Lauren over there told me you were here for an interview so I just wanted to let you know that there is nothing to worry about.”
“I’m not worried,” Kurt snapped defensively. He didn’t want to give the man the power of knowing that he had never been more nervous in his entire life and give him a chance to take advantage of the knowledge.
“Your hands are shaking,” the man pointed out. “Happens to the best of us.”
“Not to you, I see.”
The man laughed. “I’m slightly worried that the blood tests may come back negative but it’s not enough to make my hands shake.”
“Blood tests?” Kurt asked against his better judgement.
“Yeah, I’m doing some experiments to see if there is any way to use blood as a medicine. My theory is that sometimes a certain fluid injected straight into the body may not be effective while mixing a bit of blood with the same fluid and injected the mix would have a different effect,” the man explained with excitement and passion in his voice.
“Wait, you are working here?”
“Yes. Why?”
“I though you were here for an interview like me,” Kurt laughed nervously. “I’m sorry, my name is Kurt.”
“Blaine,” the man said and extended his arm, which Kurt gladly shook.
“I see, you are back, Mr. Anderson,” a soft voice said and Kurt turned his head to face a red-haired woman, who was his idol for a long time. “And you must be Mr. Hummel.”
“Kurt,” the man said and smiled at her. “It’s an honour to meet you. Your research paper in last month’s The World We Live In journal was breathtaking.”
“Flattery will get you everywhere, Mr. Hummel,” the woman smiled and looked at Blaine. “Is your experiment proving to be worthwhile?”
“Oh, yes, ma’am,” Blaine was quick to answer. “I was just heading to my lab to see the results of this morning’s tests. The report will be on your table by the end of the day.”
“Thank you, Mr. Anderson,” she said and it was obvious that it was Blaine’s cue to leave.
The man nodded politely. “Don’t stress out, Kurt. I’m sure I will see you later today,” he winked and disappeared.
Kurt was too busy looking at Blaine to notice a small frown in Dr. Pillsbury’s face after Blaine’s last phrase.
“So, Mr. Hummel, let’s go to my office,” the woman said and showed the way.
On the way there Kurt couldn’t help but stare at every lab they passed, where he could see people working. He was thankful for the glass walls because it may be the last opportunity for him to see the inside of the PAG corp.
“It’s impressive,” Kurt whispered in awe. “It’s everything a scientist can dream about.”
“We are known to make the dreams come true,” the woman responded. “Whether it’s our dreams or not.”
“What’s your biggest dream?” Kurt asked and immediately regretted not keeping his mouth shut. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have pried.”
The woman laughed softly. “It only shows your honest interest in the company. And I admire your courage to ask. As for the question,” he said opening the door to her office and walking inside, encouraging Kurt to follow and sit down, “my answer is… I want to find a way to destroy all germs.”
“Like in those advertisements that say that a cleaner destroys 99.99%? You mean, you want to create something that could brag about 100%?”
Dr. Pillsbury giggled and made Kurt blush in embarrassment. “No. Do you know how dangerous it is when someone sneezes next to you? Have you ever thought of how risky it is to touch any surface? It’s been bugging me my whole life and I’m determined to get rid of this problem.”
“That’s a big goal,” Kurt said slowly.
“With a right attitude everything is possible. For example, if you have a right attitude you may be able to join us.”
“I promise, Dr. Pillsbury, I’m hard-working and I want to work for you more than anything else. If you just gave me a chance, you wouldn’t be disappointed.”
The woman nodded and pressed a button on her phone. “I know. You are special, Mr. Hummel. I can’t waste the opportunity of having you.”
“What- What do you mean?” Kurt asked, feeling his heart beating much faster with a hope.
“I don’t want anyone else; you are the only one I want.”
There was a knock on the door and Kurt couldn’t respond even though he wanted to jump out of his chair and hug the woman.
“Come in,” she said and two tall men walked in. “Perfect. Now, Mr. Hummel, are you aware just how special you are?”
“Um, yes,” he answered though it sounded more like a question no matter how much he wanted to show his self-confidence.
“I don’t think so,” she smiled. “A few days ago I talked to Doctor Lewis, who I’m sure you are familiar with.”
“What about her?” Kurt asked confused.
Dr. Pillsbury gave him a small smile. “I want your blood, Mr. Hummel.”
“You… what?” the man said feeling a fear set in.
“Your blood is special and I want it,” she said as if it was obvious. “You may be a talented student but I don’t need you as an intern. I want you for other reasons.”
Kurt opened his mouth but no sound came out. He looked at the men blocking the door and saw guns hanging from their belts.
“Please, be sensible and don’t try anything stupid,” the woman said softly. “Finn, Dave, please, take him to Mr. Anderson. He will know what to do with his new lab rat.”

Aww Poor Kurt!! I hope Blaine is a bit nicer to him!
I promised it wouldn't be too angsty so...... xD
OMG! I was not expecting THAT! You better give me a new chapter quick, woman! Or else I might go crazy.... x)
I have half of it already (that was one long flight and writing saved my sanity) so maybe I will update tonight :) Fingers crossed!
Yay!
huh....not sure what is happening yet but I've liked all your other stories and this one is interestingly strange so on to chapter 2.... :)
oooooo Kurt's bed?
I wish... but no :/ He should have slept with Kurt :D
Puck and Kurt? Puck and Blaine? Threesome? :D That would be hot :D
Please do not tell me Puck! LOL
Let's just say, not his own but not the one in the building either :P
Whose bed does Blaine end up in?!!! But yes, any and all of those combinations would be hot!
Grrrrrrr Get writing, I need to know NOW!!!! :-p
I'm trying but my friend is destracting me ;D And anyway, it won't be explained in the following chapter...
Ha! That is your fault for having lovely friends hehe Then you have to tell me now! Pretty please with a Kurt and Blaine on top?!!!
Kurt and Blaine on top? A threesome with two cocks up Puck's ass? Omg that's insanely hot!!!
It should happen... The problem is, this isn't an M story :/
Oh yes! Yes!! YES!!!
I could but with their personalities it would hardly work...
Raise the rating?
:-(Next story?
Who knows? Maybe the next time I'm super horny :D
Haha As long as Sebastian is not involved, then go for it lol Maybe Cooper/Klaine?
Not-Paul/Klaine maybe? :D
I am still not sure what I think of not-Paul
I think that he shouldn't exist :D
He can date Sebastian! Because Hunter is not good enough for Seb
Well, he can exist just not with Kurt :-)
Oh, please, he is deep in a closet. Is a straight person normally that defensive that he has to introduce himself stating his sexuality? :D I don't think so :DLet's not forget Karofsky and Eli... They can be together, I don't care
Hunter is straight! So yes, not-Paul and Seb sounds good to me!! Or Chandler and Seb :-)
Haha Just let them all be together in a big orgy and have done with it :-D
What a glorious night that would be...
Yes indeed, them in one room and Klaine/Puck in another :-)
Why not all together? And with masks like in Eyes Wide Shut so nobody knows who they are fucking
Oh gosh!! now that.....Hmmmm.......sorry, was distracted with images!
I should so write about that :D You know, I will keep that in mind :D
Oh my!! Yes please!!!
Maybe I should write that short smut story tonight instead... I could finish it today. Let me think :D
Who said it's someone's bed?
Only if you tell me whose bed Blaine ends up in!!!! I still desperately need to know!
He might have ended up in a hospital bed... Or in jail for a night... So many possibilities!
What?!! Now you have to explain lol
Awwww but Kurt is not able to help him!!! :-(
But isn't it Kurt who needs help?
Let's wait and see what happens ;) Blaine may surprise you!
Well yes, but i do not see naive Blaine beeing of use. Unless he innocently tells someone what is going on of course!
Noooooooo Cannot wait! Need to know!!!!
Patience, my dearest!
That is a virtue that I do not possess!
Neither do I but I possess a virtue of teasing :D
I would never have guessed that one!! Grrrrrrr
I hide my love for teasing really well :D
LOL
No, I doubt he would be as submissive but it could still be hot lol
Any Klaine porn is hot :D
I actually got thinking after your last review and maaaaybe there will be some actual smut *exaggerated wink*
Oh yes!!!
oooooooooooohhhhhhh yes pleeeeaaassseeeee!!!!! But Klaine smut, no silly pairings with them lol
Definitely! Klaine and only Klaine! Puck will have to wait for his turn in the Eyes Wide Shut one-shot, which I'm brainstorming for already :D I know I promised to write it earlier but this netbook sucks so much, it's difficult to type :/
Write it when you are ready to! But yes, Puck can wait!
Poor Puck, forced to masturbate ;D
He can make their sex tape!
He can listen through the walls hehe
Oooo I likey!
And then he should show it to us :D
YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!!
I would love him forever and ever :D
Now I have :D I saw a bit on tumblr actually but I never ship real life people so I'm not too interested. I mean, if they are together, good for them. If they are with other people, good for them. As long as they are happy, I'm happy ;)Are you a crisscolfer shipper? ;)
Wouldn't we all!Have you seen this? I am unsure but hopeful hehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87pUHY2spJQ&feature=youtu.be
I think I want to be, like you I just want them happy and if being together makes them happy then I am all for it, although if being with other people makes then happy then that is great too. To be honest, I think that they are just really close friends which makes me sad that two friends cannot even be seen together without the world going crazy.
I agree. I guess it's one of the down sides of being famous and I feel sorry for them. For all famous poeple,to be honest.(Though I admit they would be a cute couple ;) )
They would be!
Just like Klaine!
Yes dear! :-D
Fluff is good but smut is better ;DThank, dear! x Have lovely holidays *hugs*
LOL No problem! I am just always eager for Klaine smut hehe But I can still enjoy a story without it as long as there is still fluff then I am always happy :-) Merry Christmas to you and your family x
True! Fluff will always take second place :-)Hugs x
Maybe not but surely you can appreciate the body :-p
He is too muscular for my taste :D
I like to look but in reality he is not my type either lolMerry Christmas honey x
Oops, it's already Boxing Day here so I totally forgot to wish you late Merry Christmas :D Well, Happy Holdays That We Still Have Left! x
