The next few days were as follows:

                Mike would drive Blaine to school and drop him off at the front like usual, where Blaine would wait for Mike to come back and walk him to his first class. Everyday Kurt seemed to be walking up at about that time and would touch Blaine's shoulder to get his attention. "Hey, Blaine," he would say, before offering to take him to class. Blaine declined, thanked him, and continued waiting for Mike.

                That latter couple of days, Blaine had actually been very tempted to take him up on the offer, but figured he should at least tell Mike... but he had no phone of any sort, and had to decline the offer anyway. When Mike finally arrived, Blaine would take his arm and the two would walk off to Blaine's first class, which happened to be on the opposite side of the school as Mike's first class. Blaine hated the realization and wondered if Kurt's class was any closer.

                Then Mike would walk him from that class to French, where Blaine would be promptly greeted by Kurt. They'd chat and Kurt would promise Mike to take Blaine to his next class, to which Mike would let out a relieved sigh that made Blaine feel more like a burden than he ever had. He felt horrible being so dependent... He supposed he could get around by himself, but it would take him a good ten minutes, which he really just couldn't do.

                After struggling through French, Kurt walked him to his next two classes though he wasn't actually in either of them, and always promised to find him at lunch, which he didn't manage to do on any of the days, so Blaine sat with Mike and Tina as well as the rest of Mike's friends. Blaine didn't really like sitting there for lunch, especially considering he was always ignored. He got the feeling that Kurt would at least actually talk to him...

                When lunch ended, Mike would walk Blaine to Wellness where he would sit in the back of the class while the teacher gave powerpoint presentations and everyone would laugh at some visual humor that Blaine would never get. After that class, Blaine walked next door (on his own) to get to his next class and headed for the back (with a bit of difficulty). The first day after Kurt took him home, Mike had been there to walk him to Pre-Calc, but every day after that it had been Kurt to walk him to the class. He was more than a little grateful and prayed that picking him up wasn't out of his way.

                After that particular hell ended, Kurt walked him to Glee club where Blaine sat in the back and smiled to himself at the memory of his Warbler days, but always denied Kurt's insistence to audition. After that, Mike drove him home and that was the end of that.

                Today, however, the day had gone as usual with the exception of Glee club. Mike had apparently promised Tina a date, and Blaine was abandoned to get a ride... Which thankfully he'd found in Kurt. Blaine smiled when Kurt tapped his hand and took his arm. "I liked your solo," Blaine said, grinning in Kurt's general direction and letting him lead them through the halls.

                "Oh... Th-thanks," Kurt said. "I'm glad you liked it."

                Blaine shrugged. "You're really good." They walked out to Kurt's car, and this time Kurt was more aware of what he was doing.

                "Thanks, but you don't really have to -- three steps down -- tell me because I already know," he said, making Blaine laugh and shake his head. "But really -- curb -- thanks for that. Sometimes I wonder -- I'm opening the door -- if it's good enough, though." Blaine slipped in the car and waited for the usual cues that meant Kurt was in the car and ready to go.

                "You're fantastic," Blaine promised with a smile. The  car started moving and Blaine sighed a little. He really liked talking to Kurt... He made him feel a lot more normal and a heck of a lot less like a burden... He sighed a little at the thought of Mike having to put up with him.

                "Thanks..." Kurt said hesitantly. "Are you okay?" he asked, touching Blaine's shoulder gently.

                Blaine gave him a smile and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Do you want to help me with French today?" he asked, maybe a little too hopefully. "I mean, you don't have to... I was just wondering..." he said, frowning.

                Kurt moved his hand and laughed a little. "I'd love to help you. Sounds good. Is right now okay, or would you rather I come back later?" he asked, and Blaine felt the car starting to slow down a bit. He wondered if they were already there, but the speed picked back up again and he figured it must have been a stop sign.

                "Right now is fine," Blaine said, nodding and smiling.

                "Perfect!" Kurt said, speeding up a little. Blaine leaned against the window and laughed a little. They reached Blaine's house in no time and Kurt wasted no time helping him out and walking him to the door. He unlocked the door and Blaine discarded the key on the rack next to the door. He let go of Kurt's arm.

                "I know my way around here," he explained, heading towards the stairs and listening to make sure Kurt was following him. They reached Blaine's room and he plopped down on the bed. "...I should have asked if you were hungry," he said, frowning. "Sorry, I don't have many people over. I don't get a lot of practice hosting."

                Kurt laughed a little, which made him feel considerably better. "We can eat a little later. Can't have you procrastinating on your French," Kurt said in a tone that a mother might use to scold a child. Blaine shook his head and laughed.

                It was a little while into studying on Blaine's bed that Kurt tapped his shoulder and said, "Can I ask you something?" Blaine nodded hesitantly. "Can... You don't have to answer, but how long have you been like this?" he asked quietly.

                Blaine turned towards him, trying to look thoughtful. "Well I've been attractive for as long as I can remember..." he said, humming.

                It served its purpose to make Kurt laugh.

                "Oh, you meant blind," he said with a smile. "My whole life. I was born like this," he said, shrugging and sitting up on the bed more. "I really don't mind you asking... so don't freak out," he said, shaking his head and smiling in his general direction.

                Kurt laughed a little more. "Got it. Thanks. How are the verbs coming?"

                Blaine groaned. "Horrible. I don't like tenses," he said, pouting a bit.

                "Oh, please. It's easy," he insisted, moving closer and taking his paper. "...Okay, it seems a little harder in Braille," he mumbled.

                Blaine laughed. "You should try to do math in Braille. That's fun," he said, shaking his head before taking the paper back and sighing. "You hungry yet? My parents are out of town, so you can stay for dinner if you want," he said, shrugging.

                Kurt was quiet for a moment. "Your parents leave you here by yourself?" he asked after a while, sounding confused and a little upset.

                "No, the maid is here. And my brother visits a lot," he said with a shrug.

                Kurt sighed and slid his hand around Blaine's arm. "...Alright. Lead the way to the kitchen and I'll make us the best sandwiches you'll ever have had the pleasure of eating."
