"I heard he's dating a Gryffindor! Can you believe that? A Slytherin and a Gryffindor together? It won't last," a Ravenclaw girl said as Kurt passed her on the way to breakfast.
It had been almost two weeks since Kurt and Blaine started dating, and for some reason, their relationship was still the talk of the school. Kurt thought the gossip would die down after a couple days, but it hadn't yet. Kurt also thought the dirty looks from his housemates and Gryffindors would stop as well. He was wrong again. Only Blaine's friends accepted Kurt, and only Santana accepted Blaine. Sebastian accepted him as well, if by accepted one meant lusted after.
Over the last two weeks, Karofsky didn't let up with his glares and sneers. Sometimes the bigger Slytherin would call the smaller boy a "fairy" or a "fag." But it never got physical, thankfully, but Kurt just wished Karofsky would back off and stop. Kurt didn't tell Blaine that Karofsky was still calling him names. Kurt didn't want to start any more trouble. After their date, Blaine had confronted Karofsky, who denied kissing Kurt of course, and shoved Blaine into a wall.
"You'd think they would run out of things to talk about," Kurt said as he sat down next to Blaine at the Gryffindor table. Kurt no longer sat the Slytherin table. He didn't feel welcome there anymore, and he knew that Sebastian wouldn't be around to make ridiculous comments about Blaine to him. Now Kurt only had to put up with that at quidditch practice. Kurt wasn't the only Slytherin no longer sitting at the house table though. He noticed that Santana was eating a lot of her meals at the Hufflepuff table with Brittany. He thought the two were rather adorable together.
"I know," Blaine said. "We can't be that exciting."
"You are Hogwarts new It Couple," Rachel said as she jumped in the conversation. "Behind Finn and I of course. You two even have a couple name: Klaine."
Kurt groaned. "I always thought those names were cheesy."
"I think it's cute," Blaine responded with a smile.
"Anyways, do you know you two will be singing a duet in glee tomorrow?" Rachel asked.
"Uh no, how do you know this?" Kurt asked.
"I over heard Professor Shue talking to Professor Pillsberry, you know, the Muggle Studies professor, and he said he wanted Kurt and Blaine to sing a duet together sometime this week."
"Well, then we'll make it perfect," Blaine said happily as he put his arm around Kurt's waist.
"Blood traitor," Karofsky hissed as he walked by the Gryffindor table to join his own friends at the Slytherin table.
"I really wish he would stop that," Kurt said with a sigh.
"Maybe we should talk to someone about that," Blaine suggested.
Kurt shook his head. "No, there's nothing the teachers can do. He's not physically hurting us."
"I agree with Blaine, you should tell someone, but he does start hurting you," Finn said. "I'm not letting some punk Slytherin hurt my little brother."
"Yea, we'll kick his ass," Puck commented. "You're an honorary Gryffindor, Hummel, and no one messes with the Gryffindors."
"You're only a couple months older than me," Kurt commented. "And can we please just drop the subject?" No one said anything about Karofsky after that.
After classes that day, Kurt went back to his own common room while Blaine went to quidditch practice. Usually, Kurt was allowed to sit in on the practice, but since the first, fast approaching match was Gryffindor versus Slytherin, Kurt wasn't allowed to watch. He was all right with that, but Kurt found himself bored and lonely. He knew Santana was with Brittany and Sebastian…well Kurt didn't want to know where he was. Instead of sitting in the common room to do his homework, Kurt made his way up to the library. He knew he would get less glares if he went there.
Kurt found a table near the restricted section to work on his homework. About ten minutes in his mind began to wander to thoughts of Blaine. He was so engrossed in his thoughts; he didn't even notice Sebastian coming over to him. It wasn't until Sebastian cleared his throat when Kurt was brought out of his daydreams.
"Can't stand the looks in the common room?" Sebastian asked.
"Yea," Kurt simply answered. He was still angry at Sebastian for his comment about muggleborns.
"Well maybe if you weren't dating that Gryffindor."
"Look, there's nothing anyone can do about me dating Blaine and I wish everyone would get over it," Kurt said with a sigh.
"How can I get over it if you took something that's mine. You know I'm selfish."
"Blaine isn't yours," Kurt argued. "He's nothing something you can use and throw away."
"I just want to have a little fun with him. I'll even let you join if it means that much to you."
Kurt growled, earning a glare from Madam Pince as passed with a stack of books hovering in front of her.
"Stay away from Blaine," Kurt warned in a low voice. "He doesn't like you."
"Oh really? We'll see about that." Sebastian smirked, ruffled Kurt's hair, and left the library.
X-X-X-X
"He's insufferable!" Kurt complained later that night as he sat in the Gryffindor common room with Blaine. "He thinks you're just going to come running to him."
"Sebastian means nothing to me," Blaine confirmed as he cupped Kurt's cheek. "I would never leave you for him."
Kurt smiled and gently kissed Blaine's lips. "So, quidditch match this weekend," Kurt said softly when the kiss ended.
"I heard about that," Blaine chuckled. "Gryffindor against Slytherin. I heard the seekers for the two teams are dating."
"That will be a scandal," Kurt giggled as he snuggled into Blaine's side. "Imagine the gossip that will go around the school."
"As if there wasn't enough gossip already," Blaine responded. "Isn't that right?" He added loudly to the few Gryffindors that were sitting off on the opposite side of the common room, whispering and glancing at the two boys. The girls jumped at the sound of Blaine's voice and left the common room quickly; embarrassed they were caught talking about the couple.
"It'll all die down eventually," Kurt said. "Something way more exciting will happen to catch everyone's attention. This is Hogwarts after all."
"I know. Maybe Death Eaters will escape from Azkaban like they did in our first year. Remember that? That's all the school talked about for a whole month before Harry Potter and Ron Weasley caught them."
"I remember. I remember the older Slytherins were trying to scare us by telling us the Death Eaters were going to come take us away because we weren't real Slytherins," Kurt recalled with an eye roll.
"Really? The older Gryffindors told us first years that the only way we could prove worthy of Godric Gryffindor was to go into the Forbidden Forest and catch one of them," Blaine laughed. "McGonagall was furious when Puck decided to do it because he wanted to prove how badass he was."
"Puck would do something like that," Kurt laughed sleepily. "I should get back down to my dormitory."
"Noooo, stay here with me," Blaine whined.
"Blaine, I can't," Kurt responded sitting up on the couch. "Where am I supposed to sleep anyways?"
"I could magically make my bed bigger, and you could sleep in some of my pajamas."
"I don't know Blaine…."
"Please? Finn and Puck won't mind. And besides, we're not going to be doing anything."
Kurt bit his lip as he weighed his options. He could go back to his own dormitory where Karofsky would call in names the rest of the night and Sebastian would bug him, or Kurt could stay with Blaine.
"Alright, I'll stay," Kurt said softly.
Blaine grinned, grabbed Kurt's hand and led him up to the dormitory. Puck and Finn were already asleep, and snoring a bit loudly. Blaine walked over to his trunk and pulled out a blue pair of cotton pajama pants and a white t-shirt. "The bathrooms through there," he said pointing to a door near Puck's bed. "And here, it's a spare I've never used." He then handed Kurt a red toothbrush. "There's toothpaste in the bathroom too."
Kurt nodded and went into the bathroom to change. He looked in the mirror and frowned. He was skipping his skin routine, but he could live a night without it. He brushed his teeth and headed back into the room to find that Blaine had magically made his bed bigger and was laying on it wearing red pajama pants and a t-shirt with Gryffindor's coat of arms on it.
"You took no time getting comfy," Kurt whispered as he sat his uniform down on Blaine's trunk and climbed into the bed.
Blaine just grinned and pulled Kurt closer. "Is this alright?" Blaine asked as he became the big spoon and wrapped an arm around Kurt's middle.
"It's perfect," Kurt said softly as he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
X-X-X-X
Kurt woke the next morning confused. He wasn't alone in his own bed. It took him a minute to remember he was in Blaine's bed, and Blaine's arms were still wrapped around him. Kurt slowly and carefully turned so that he was facing Blaine. He admired Blaine's peaceful, sleeping face. Kurt's eyes traced over every feature; the stubble on Blaine's chin, the way his eyelashes laid against his skin, how his mouth was slightly open. Kurt didn't know what he did to land a more perfect boy.
After another minute of taking in Blaine's features, Kurt leaned his head in and gently kissed the corner of Blaine's mouth, causing the boy to let out a sigh and tighten his hold on Kurt. A few seconds later Blaine's eyes fluttered open and were staring into Kurt's.
"Morning," he whispered with a smile.
"Good morning," Kurt whispered back. "Sleep well?"
"Best night of sleep I ever had."
"Really? Me too."
"We should do this more."
"We should."
"So are you two going to have sex now?" A voice asked.
Both boys sat up and saw Puck sitting on his bed, adjusting the tie of his uniform as he looked over to Kurt and Blaine. "No, really, are you because I need to know if I have to leave."
Kurt rolled his eyes. "No, Noah," he said to Puck. He kissed Blaine's lips before sliding out of bed. "I should get dressed and get down to my own dormitory for a fresh uniform." He pulled his Slytherin robe over the pajamas he was wearing. "I'll get these back to you."
Blaine just nodded. "Meet you at breakfast then?"
"Of course," Kurt replied, kissing Blaine again. "See you soon," he said to both Blaine and Puck before leaving to go back down to the Slytherin dormitories. He couldn't help but smile as he thought of his night with Blaine.
When Kurt made it back to his own dormitory, he took a quick shower and dressed in a clean uniform. He folded Blaine's borrowed pajamas and sat them at the foot of his bed for the house-elves to take for the laundry. He grabbed his books and began to make his way to the Great Hall. However, he never made it to breakfast because someone had grabbed him and forced him into one of the dungeon classrooms.
