Kurt didn't know if he liked it at the centre yet. He had been there for an hour now and all he had done was sit on the sofa with the boy called Blaine. The boy called Blaine who hadn't even said hello to him when he sat down. Kurt sighed, he liked sitting down, it was peaceful and he liked watching what everyone else was doing. But he was getting bored now. He got up and looked at Blaine, he wondered if he needed to say goodbye to him. He turned and watched him, gasping when he saw Blaine had stopped reading and was now watching him.
“Oh, hello.” Kurt said, sucking his lip between his teeth. Blaine didn't say anything though, but he kept on staring at him. “I'm going to draw. I got bored of sitting.” Kurt said filling in the silence and rocking on the balls of his feet. Again, Blaine didn't say anything but he put his book back in the red and blue striped bag he brought with him and stood up. Kurt frowned. “Where you going?” He asked. He didn't want him to leave him. Blaine smiled, or at least Kurt thought he had tried to smile, his lips definitely moved but it didn't look like a smile. The curly haired boy gestured to the drawing table and Kurt couldn't help but grin. His new friend was coming with him. Kurt went to the table and sat down, Blaine sat down next to him. He didn't get any paper to draw though, instead he opened his bag again and pulled his book out and started to read. Kurt frowned, he didn't know why anyone would read at the drawing table, but at least he wasn't on his own.
“Kurt, are you okay?” Sean asked half an hour later. Kurt was still at the drawing table and he was drawing the whale that was on the cover of Blaine's book. Kurt looked up, sucking on his bottom lip and nodded his head, reaching for the black crayon and colouring in his drawing. “That's awesome.” Sean beamed at him, pulling the chair next to him up and sitting down.
“Thank you, Sean.” Kurt said softly. “It's from Blaine's book.”
“I can see that.” Sean smiled. At the mention of his name, Blaine put his book down, he looked at the cover and then at Kurt's drawing and nodded before turning back to his book. Kurt noticed and smiled at Blaine before drawing some more. “It's almost time for lunch, are you hungry?”
“A little. Me and Finn had pancakes this morning.” Kurt smiled. “My dad told me that before I fell down the stairs, and became little again that every morning for breakfast all I ate was a banana, and sometimes some funny smelling yoghurt. He asked me if I wanted that but then said he'd make me pancakes if I wanted them. And I said yes to the pancakes because the yoghurt smelled funny. I don't know how I could eat that.” Kurt said, his eyes looking at the table.
“Well some teenagers these days like to eat healthy.” Sean said watching him closely. “After lunch it's time for your first session with Danny.”
“Is Danny the man to help me not be little?” Kurt asked looking up slowly.
“Yeah, where did you get that phrase from? Little?” Sean questioned curiously.
“Finn said it. I didn't really understand what my daddy said to me. But then Finn told me I fell down the stairs, banged my head and now my mind's little.” Kurt replied. “Is that wrong?”
“No. That's right.” Sean smiled.
Kurt nodded and finished his drawing, unaware of Blaine watching him. When it was lunchtime Kurt sat next to Blaine. He didn't say anything about it, but it's what friends do isn't it? They sit next to each other? Blaine nodded at him though, that has to mean something right? The food was nice and Kurt grinned because he likes pasta. It made him feel sad though, his mommy used to make him pasta every Thursday for dinner and afterwards they would watch musicals and sing along to them. Kurt missed that. For pudding it was ice cream, and Kurt was picking at his, a sad look on his face as he thought about his Mom. His face brightened when Blaine nudged him and gave him half of his ice cream too. That was when Kurt realised that the two of them must be friends then.
“Danny's nice.” Sean smiled once lunch had finished, he was walking Kurt down the corridor to where Kurt would be having his first session with the psychologist.
“Sean.” Kurt said, looking up at the taller blond. “Why doesn't Blaine talk?”
Sean bit his lip. He knew that Kurt would ask him that. Truth be told, he had been shocked that Blaine had followed Kurt to the drawing table, in the year and a half that the curly haired teen had been coming to the centre, he had only ever sat in the reading area. He never spoke to any person, including the psychologists. “It's not my place to say why, Kurt.” Sean stepped softly. “But, It's a good step for both of you that you sit with him and he sits with you.”
“Is he my friend? He gave me ice cream. So he must be.” Kurt nodded, his voice dripping with happiness.
“Yeah, I guess that makes him your friend.” Sean smiled. “Now, here's Danny. You ready to talk to him?”
“What's he going to talk about?”
“I don't know, why don't you go in and find out?” Sean smiled, nudging Kurt's shoulder softly causing Kurt to giggle. “And then it will be time for Finn to come and get you.”
“Okay.” Kurt grinned. He can't wait to tell Finn about his new friend.
