Chapter 1
Blaine Anderson just arrived to New York to begin his first year of college at New York University. It was always his dream to come to the big apple and now he's finally here.
Blaine makes it to the building he's been assigned to dorm in and begins the search for his room. He pulls out the envelope containing the letter he received regarding his housing information
Blaine Anderson
University Hall. Room 205.
Blaine sighed and made his way to the second floor to get to his room. He stopped in front of room 205 and pulled out the key that was also enclosed in the envelope and unlocked the door. Walking inside, he dropped the few bags he was carrying by the door. He looked around his new small two bedroom apartment-like home. Right in front of him was a kitchen with a small table and two chairs. To his right were two doors. One room was leading to the bathroom and the other to one of the bedrooms. To his left was the other bedroom. The place was beautiful. He looked around with a smile. He finally felt at home.
It appeared that his roommate had not yet arrived. Blaine decided to take the room on the left and leave the one on the right to roommate. He walked into his bedroom and set his bags down on the bed. The 10-hour drive left Blaine super exhausted and all he wanted to do was lie down and sleep for a while. After much debate in his head, Blaine decided to just finish unpacking now then maybe shower before going to bed. He left the room, locked the door, and headed down to his car to grab the remainder of his bags.
Kurt Hummel couldn't believe his eyes. He finally made it. He was in New York. After so many years of hoping and dreaming, he was finally here. The city where everything would happen. He would finally be happy.
His father, Burt Hummel, had insisted on going with Kurt to drop him off. He said that it was 'his fathers duty to see his kid off to college.' Kurt had rolled his eyes and told him it wasn't necessary but was secretly thankful his dad would be there. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with him before school started.
That was how Kurt ended up in the front seat of his Navigator, staring out his window and taking in the city around him, while his dad drove toward the housing building.
"Excited kid?" Burt asked with a smirk on his face as he watched his son's eyes light up.
"You have no idea dad. I'm in New York. NEW YORK! I just...I can't believe it." Kurt replied with tears in his eyes.
'I think I have some idea." Burt said with a fond smile. "You know I'm really proud of you right? You deserve this, Kurt."
Kurt turned to his dad, his eyes still brimming with tears. 'I couldn't have done it without you. I love you, dad."
"Love you, too, kid."
Five minutes later, Burt was parking the car outside the University Hall building. Both men got out of the car and grabbed some of Kurt's bags.
"Alright kid. Which room is yours again?" Burt asked.
"Room 205." Kurt replied.
They reached the room and just as Kurt was about to insert the key, the door flew open and a boy a little shorter than Kurt ran straight into him. Kurt fell slightly backwards but was able to catch himself before he hit his dad. The boy was able to catch himself on the frame of the door.
"Oh I am so sorry!" the boy said as he tried to catch his breath and clutched the doorframe. "I wasn't paying attention! So so sorry!"
The boy was looking down and all Kurt could see of him was dark curls. Once the boy finally lifted his head, Kurt was welcomed with the most beautiful hazel eyes he had ever seen. Kurt seemed to loose his train of thought as he got lost in those golden orbs.
After a moment of awkward silence, Kurt realized he hadn't said anything. "It's okay! Don't worry about it. I'm Kurt." Kurt smiled and held out his hand to the boy.
"Blaine." The boy, Blaine, said as he took Kurt's hand. "I'm assuming you're my new roommate?"
"Um...yeah, that I am." Kurt said with a little laugh. Blaine was too beautiful for words. His flawless tan skin and gorgeous white smile. Kurt was having a hard time concentrating.
"Awesome. Well, um, I'm going to go get the rest of my stuff out of the car. I took the room on the left, if that's okay. The other room is on the right." Blaine rubbed his hand on the back of his neck.
"Yeah, perfect." Kurt said.
Blaine gave Kurt another small smile and walked around Kurt and Burt and headed down the hall towards the stairs.
"Well, he seems...nice." Burt said with a chuckle as they headed into the room.
"Yeah. Nice." Kurt sighed. And fucking gorgeous.
Burt eyed Kurt suspiciously then led the way to Kurt's room.
Nice first impression, Anderson. Blaine felt like idiot. That was not the best way to introduce yourself to your new roommate. Your super attractive roommate with brilliant blue-green eyes and perfect brown hair and most amazing voice. No Blaine. Don't think like that.
Blaine was gay. He's known since he was fourteen. The only thing is, he never came out. He was raised to think that 'gay is wrong'. Of coarse, he never believed that. A few of his closest friends are gay. He couldn't risk coming out, though. He didn't want to know how his parents would handle the news. Therefore, he never told anyone. And he wasn't about to.
Sighing, Blaine gathered the rest of his things and headed back up to the room. He could hear Kurt and his dad in Kurt's room talking. Blaine, still feeling awkward, decided to just go into his room and unpack his stuff.
About an hour later, there was a quiet knock on his bedroom door. Blaine got up from unpacking his box and opened the door. Kurt was standing there looking at floor with his hands behind his back. He briefly looked up at Blaine before speaking.
"Um. My dad and I are going to get some dinner. Would you, um, like to join us?" He asked as he looked back down at the ground.
Blaine wasn't sure what to say. He was pretty shocked by the invitation. He didn't want to intrude on their dinner, but then again, he was pretty hungry and it would be a good chance to get to know his roommate a little better. And stare at him. Damn it, Blaine! No! "Oh thanks. Um yeah I'd love too. I-if it's not too much. I'm starving."
"Not at all.' Kurt said with a shy smile. Man, he was adorable.
"Okay great! Um, let me just change real quick. I'll be right out." Kurt nodded his head and turned back towards the living room. Blaine took a deep breath and closed the door. He changed out of his sweat pants and old Dalton t-shirt. He put on some dark jeans and a white v-neck. He grabbed his red cardigan and headed to where Kurt and his dad were waiting.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. Oh I didn't get to introduce myself earlier." Blaine said to Kurt's dad. "Blaine Anderson. Thanks for inviting me, sir."
"Burt Hummel. And don't sweat it. Happy you could join us. Also, none of the 'sir' crap. Makes me sound old." Burt said as he shook Blaine's extended hand.
"So where are we going?" Blaine asked as he turned to look at Kurt. The boy had also changed his clothes, and Blaine almost let his jaw drop. He was wearing the tightest pants Blaine had ever seen and a white long sleeved shirt with a gray vest over. He looked stunning. Blaine was able to catch himself staring before it became obvious.
"We were thinking about walking to Washington Square and looking for something over there." Kurt's eyes sparkled as he said this.
Blaine was entranced. "Perfect."
Kurt smiled at Blaine, grabbed his coat and headed out the door. Blaine watched him walk out with funny feeling in his stomach.
Shit.
