Blaine Anderson was sitting in the canteen, time from time he would check his cell phone. He hoped that Kurt would text him, he always did during lunchtime, but he still hadn�t texted Blaine. The curly-haired boy started to get worried, Kurt still hadn’t texted him.
Blaine wasn’t tall, so most people called him hobbit, he had honey-coloured eyes. His hair was neatly gelled, he liked it that way, neat and tidy. Don’t think he was a boring person, he was the lead of the Warblers, the glee club at Dalton Academy, the school where he was attending as a student. Blaine had transferred a long time ago from a public school, he would rather not think of that.
“Who are you texting? You are staring at your phone again, does Blainey have a boyfriend?” His Asian friend Wesley asked him, everybody called him Wes. There was another thing about Blaine you should know, he was gay, that’s the reason he transferred here.
“No one, and I do not have a boyfriend!” Blaine blushed slightly, he was a good actor, he could hide his feelings without problem, except from one emotion. Love. “You are blushing! Seriously where have you been going lately? You missed three rehearsals in the past two weeks and you keeping staring at your phone.” Wes shrugged and gave him a look that said you-better-not-miss-another-one.
Blaine sighed, he knew that he had to tell Wes at least a little bit “Do you remember Kurt?” Wes nodded, Blaine noticed that Wes was intrigued. “Well...he’s been having some problems at school, his friends aren’t helping him and he needs someone right now.”
Wes nodded again “Do you like him?” he asked, he had that glint in his eyes and Blaine knew that Wes could see right through him if he lied.
Before Blaine could answer the question his phone vibrated, and he answered immediately. He knew that something was wrong “Hey Kurt.” Blaine said, Wes shot him a look. Kurt was sobbing on the other side of the line, Blaine paled “Kurt what’s wrong? Where are you?” He pleaded Kurt, he grabbed his bag and keys and left a very confused Wes sitting alone.
“I’m at school.” Kurt said whilst he was sobbing, “I’m transferring to Dalton.” Blaine heard a bell ringing on the background, “Where are you in the school? Stay where you are.” Blaine was happy that Kurt was transferring to Dalton, but he was too worried about Kurt to be happy now.
“In the girls restroom, across classroom 61.” Kurt whispered, Blaine’s heart broke, the boy was really broken, something awful must have happened. “Kurt, I’m going to hang up on you now, I am at the parking lot of McKinley now, so I will be there in a few.”
Blaine hung up, he hadn’t realized how fast he must have been, he couldn’t care less at the moment. The bell rang, and Blaine entered the school, he looked around, a lot of students were walking to their next class or to their lockers. The curly-haired boy stood out like a sore thumb, students were giving him odd looks, some stopped walking to look at him.
After a few minutes of searching, he was lost and decided he should ask someone the way. A fair-haired girl in a cheerleader uniform, the girl was pretty. He tapped the girl on the shoulder, the girl turned around, he was looking in green eyes “Can I ask you something?” Blaine asked nervously, he prayed that the girl was nice.
“Sure, what can I do for you?” The girl eyed him, she curiously looked at him, “I am looking for a friend of mine, do you know where classroom 61 is?” The girl smiled and nodded “Yes, come I’ll show you. Who are you looking for, if I may ask?” Blaine considered if he should tell her who he was looking for or not. “His name is Kurt Hummel.” He said and the girl turned immediately and looked at him with suspicion “I know him, why are you meeting him?” Blaine didn’t want to tell her why he was meeting Kurt here “He is a ...friend of mine, and he wanted me to come.” The girl said “I’m Quinn and you are?”
“Blaine.”
The boy saw classroom 61 and the girls restroom across it. “uhm thank you for bringing me here.” He smiled at Quinn, and hurried the girls restroom in. Quinn followed him, but he ignored her.
He heard sobbing, it sounded more dreadful than on the phone “Kurt?” Blaine asked, the only closed door opened and revealed Kurt.
Blaine immediately wrapped his arms around Kurt and started soothing him “Kurt what happened? Shhht. It’s going to be ok I am here now. Nobody is going to hurt you.” The pale boy was sobbing, he could barely breathe, he was clinging to Blaine like he was his life line.
“Kurt?” Quinn said, the girl approached the boys, she didn’t know what to do. Kurt looked up, he let go of Blaine and tried to stop himself from sobbing. “Kurt breathe.” Blaine said, he wanted Kurt to calm down. And luckily he did. “Kurt what’s wrong?” Quinn asked, she looked concerned and had tears in her eyes.
“It’s nothing.” He said, he started cleaning his face, Blaine knew he shouldn’t ask what has happened to Kurt right now, while Quinn was amongst him, but he wanted to know what was wrong and why Kurt was transferring. “Kurt, what happened? What did he do?” Blaine took Kurt’s hand, his stomach was tickling. Quinn noticed that Blaine and Kurt were holding hands, Kurt looked at Blaine, their eyes met.
“Yes, it was him. I will explain later. Come, we have to go to Glee club, yes Blaine you are coming along.” Kurt added as Blaine started to protest. “Ok, are you sure you can deal with it right now?” Blaine asked, he noticed that Quinn was confused. Kurt nodded, the three of them went to Glee club, Blaine mentally noted that he was happy with the choice of person, Quinn was in the glee club too.
When they entered the choir room Kurt let go of Blaine’s hand, Blaine may or may not missed the warmth of Kurt’s hand. All heads turned to Blaine and then to Kurt and then again to Blaine. Quinn sat down next to a fair-haired boy, he had a black eye.
“SPY!” A petite girl yelled and pointed at Blaine, the girl was wearing awfully matched clothes and Blaine summed one and one up in his head. That must be Rachel, Kurt had told about her.
“Mr. Shue, can I have a word?” Kurt asked, his voice shook a little. Blaine wanted to wrap his arms around Kurt to take the pain away, but he knew this wasn’t a good moment. The teacher Blaine assumed was Mr. Shue, he nodded and sat down on one of the chairs.
This choir room differs a lot from the one at Dalton, the school reminded him of his old school. “Guys, I will keep it short. I love what you did for me, especially you Sam.” Kurt said and nodded towards Sam who smiled back, Blaine felt a pang in his chest and he wanted to give Sam another black eye. “You all know that some stuff is going on, and you showed me that you really care about me. That’s it’s so hard to...leave.” Kurt started crying again.
“What? KURT?” A tall boy yelled, all the kids stood up and walked to Kurt. “I’m transferring to Dalton, I can’t take it anymore.” A black skinned girl hugged Kurt, tears were in her eyes. “Why didn’t you tell us?” she whispered.
The teacher walked over to Blaine, who was feeling uneasy and wanted to go away. The man said “Take care of him, I trust you.” Blaine nodded “I will.” A Latino girl turned around and asked “Who is that? Is that your boyfriend?” She pointed at Blaine, both boys blushed “I’m Blaine. No, we are friends.” Now he started to think as Kurt as his boyfriend, he would be able to kiss Kurt when he wanted to do that. NO, he and Kurt were friends.
“He’s hot.” The Latino girl said matter-of-factly Blaine felt rather uneasy, the girl was obviously checking him out. “SANTANA!” Kurt yelled, the Latina girl named Santana turned around to Kurt. “Just saying.” She shrugged.
Silence returned, everyone hugged Kurt and said their goodbyes, tears were in everyone’s eyes, even Santana was crying. “I’m not leaving forever, I will be at home in the weekends, not all of them.” Santana winked at Blaine.
“Goodbye.” Kurt said, he and Blaine left. As soon as they left the building Kurt started to cry again, Blaine took his hand again, he realized that he was doing that too much lately. “I..will...miss them.”
Suddenly Kurt stopped walking and let go of Blaine’s hand, Blaine looked up. Four jocks were standing a few metres away “Hey, is that your boyfriend?” The jocks were suddenly very close, Blaine automatically pushed Kurt behind him. “Aww how cute, he wants to be punched. Well, if that’s what he wants.” The black skinned one said, and without warning he punched Blaine in the face.
The boy fell on the ground, the black skinned boy laughed and walked away, the others followed him. Blaine was lying on the ground, everything was spinning and his left eye was hurting like hell. “Blaine, oh my god are you ok? I’m so sorry, you are bleeding! Come here.” Kurt observed the wound, his eye was starting to bruise, this was definitely going to be a black eye. There was a cut right under his left eye and it was bleeding a little. “Kurt, I’m fine. Let’s go to your house.” Kurt considered the question, he knew that Blaine was hurting “Sure, but I will drive.”
The boys entered Kurt’s house, they were still holding hands. It felt nice, but Blaine was worried about Kurt, he knew that Kurt was going to talk, and explain why he’s transferring to Dalton. The house was nice and homey, Blaine liked it, he felt more welcome in his house than his own.
The wound had stopped bleeding and Blaine had a headache, he had forgotten that he was hurt, he was too preoccupied by Kurt.
Tears started flowing, Kurt started sobbing again and Blaine held him. “Let it out, cry your heart out. Shhht. It’s going to be ok, I’m here now. Shhht.” He soothed Kurt, after what could have been an hour or four minutes Kurt started to calm down. Tears stopped falling down.
Blaine let go of Kurt “What happened?” he asked “Why are you transferring?” Kurt bit his lip “Karofsky...a..few days..ago...he kissed me...” Blaine’s eyes widened, he did what? “Oh my god! Kurt, why didn’t you tell me. You could have told me.” Kurt nodded, unshed tears in his eyes “There’s more...he threatened..my..life..if I told ..anyone.” Blaine gasped “Kurt nothing can happen to you, you are here with me. You are safe now.” He hugged Kurt, when he let go of Kurt they sat down on the couch.
Silence.
Kurt and Blaine fell asleep whilst they were cuddled up.
xxxxxxxx
“...who is that?” a woman’s voice whispered, Blaine woke up. He could feel Kurt against him, he could feel Kurt’s warm breath. “I don’t know, should we wake them?” A male’s voice responded, Blaine realized they were talking about him. He opened his eyes and saw how close Kurt was, their faces inches away. Blaine gasped and fell of the couch, somehow Kurt was still asleep.
“Oh the boy is awake, hello.” The woman said, Blaine blushed at the thought how that must have looked for the parents of Kurt. “Uh..hello.” He said, they walked into the kitchen, so they could talk normally.
“Who are you?” The male said, he had a baseball pet and flannel clothes, the woman had short hair and was a little chubby. “I’m Blaine, sir. A friend of Kurt.” Blaine said politely. “Oh you are adorable.” The woman said, “This is the guy Kurt keeps talking about, Burt I think that’s him.” The woman said. Kurt was talking about him, the butterflies in Blaine’s stomach were tickling him.
Burt was still eyeing him suspiciously “Do you play for his team?” he asked, Blaine nodded. “My name is Burt and this is Carole, my wife.” Burt said “Kurt was upset today at school, because he’s transferring and he called and asked me to come, and I think we fell asleep.” Burt nodded in approval “It’s good for him to have someone like you, so he can talk with you.” Burt stated, Blaine smiled at him.
“Blaine, why do you have an black eye and why is there a cut on your face, did someone hurt you?” Burt asked him he was concerned, Blaine realized that he was punched and the pain came back again. “Uh a jock punched me....because I was defending Kurt...and well...it’s nothing..” Blaine stuttered. Carole hurried to grab a towel and cleaned Blaine’s face, there was a little blood on it. “Thank you Blaine, I’m sorry what happened to you eye, but thank you for defending my son, I owe you own.”
When his wound was cleaned Carole asked “Do you want to stay over for dinner, I’m going to cook now.” the boy nodded eagerly. Blaine felt his phone vibrate in his pocket “Excuse me.” He said and went through his messages. Everything summed up he had 30 messages and 10 missed calls from Wes, 10 messages and 4 missed calls from David, 13 messages and 9 missed calls from Thad and 8 messages and 2 missed calls from Jeff. Blaine decided he would call Wes, he called him and after two seconds Wes answered the phone.
“HOLY HELL! GUYS IT’S BLAINE! BLAINE WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT HAPPENED?” Wes yelled in the phone, Blaine was taken aback by the yelling part, Wes never yelled. “Wes breathe, something went down at McKinley and Kurt is transferring to Dalton, I’m sorry you guys were worried, but it was kind of hectic and I forgot about my phone.” Blaine heard on the background a few guys sigh “Are you alright? Is Kurt alright? What did they do to him? Do we have to beat someone up?” David said, Blaine figured that he stood on speaker.
Carole was giving him old looks “Guys, seriously. I’m fine...I sort of got punched, but I am fine. I can’t tell what happened, it’s not nice and it’s not my place to tell you what happened to Kurt.”
“BLAINE, WHO PUNCHED YOU? When are you coming back to Dalton?” Wes started yelling again, “Seriously Wes. I am fine, I will be back at Dalton quite late....I will text you when I arrive. I have to go now. Bye guys.” The boys said their goodbyes and Blaine hung up.
When Kurt entered the room he looked at Blaine “I’m so sorry Blaine for your eye.” Blaine smiled “I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt much. You shouldn’t be sorry. I look badass now.” Kurt snorted “Yeah, Blaine Anderson badass... Haha funny.” Kurt teased him, Burt and Carole shared a knowing look, they knew that the boys were in love, that was pretty obvious.
“Finn is not joining us, he’s football practice and dinner is ready.” Carole said whilst smiling brightly at the two boys. “I love football!” Blaine beamed, he and Burt were wrapped up in a conversation about the Buckeyes, they both loved that team. From time to time Blaine would look at Kurt, but then immediately looked away because his parents were in the same room.
“Blaine how is your eye?” Kurt asked when they finished dessert “I’m totally fine, don’t worry. You are going to Dalton tomorrow?” He changed the subject, he ignored the pain, it wasn’t like he never had something like this before. Kurt nodded “Yes, I’m starting Monday and I have the weekend to settle in.” Blaine was praying he and Kurt would share his room, Blaine was rooming along. He didn’t mind that, but it would be a great excuse to spent more time with the other boy. “Maybe we could room together as I don’t have a roommate.” Blaine asked, Kurt smiled “That’d be nice.”
Blaine left before Finn came home, it was late when he arrived at Dalton. He was two hours too late for curfew, he texted Wes to open the door for him. Wes was very handy with those kind of things, in times like this it was a gift, but the often it was a burden, he had to hide everything otherwise the boys would find his stuff. His personal stuff.
Come and open the door for me please? –Blaine
He texted, he waited before the door of his House, the door opened after a minute. “OH MY GOD BLAINE! You look awful!” Wes started yelling again and dragged inside the House. “Come we are going to my room, everyone is worried about you.” Wes grabbed his wrist and dragged him Wes and David’s room in.
Thad, David, Nick and Jeff were sitting on the ground, looking at Blaine and gasped. “Blaine, OH MY GOD. Are you ok?” The guys started talking all at the same time. “Ok calm down. I am fine, it just looks bad, there’s nothing to worry about.” Blaine tried to reassure them he was ok, but he knew that they weren’t convinced.
“I’m really tired, can I go to bed. Kurt’s coming tomorrow.” Blaine sighed, Jeff smiled “Is that your new boyfriend?” he said, Blaine glared at him. “Well not everybody has a boyfriend Jeff,” Jeff started to protest “I have seen what went down in the choir room the other day, I walked in, but you two were too busy to notice me.” With that Blaine got up and left the room. Leaving a furiously blushing Jeff and Nick and a very curious Wes and David.
Blaine entered his room and lay down on his bed. He was tried, his eye was hurting and he had an headache. The boy entered his bathroom; he looked in the mirror. Blaine gasped, he hadn’t expected to bruise so fast, that guy had hit him hard. After some digging he found a washcloth, put some water on it and laid it down on his eye. The cold feeling was nice, he wondered what he had to say to his teachers.
Kurt was transferring to Dalton, that meant that they would get to see each other every day, Blaine smiled, but stopped because it caused to hurt is eye more. Kurt was coming to Dalton. Blaine decided that he should text Kurt. So he did.
Hey, it’s going to be fine. Everybody is going to love you. Don’t worry, I will be here and I totally want us to share my room, I’m looking forward seeing you again. Loves –Blaine
When Blaine hit the send button, he realized what he had said. “Oh my....” he swore, but then his phone vibrated.
Hi, thank you. I’d really like to share a room with you. I’m looking forward seeing you too. I’m happy we can hang out more now. Loves –Kurt
Blaine squealed of happiness that Kurt had written ‘loves’ at the ending of the message. Kurt wanted to share his room too, Blaine replied.
Well well mister Hummel, I have to warn you. This place is kind of...crazy. Be prepared, you will meet the craziness of my beloved House. And the Warblers of course. Loves –Blaine
Blaine was being honest, his House was rather crazy and he didn’t know how well Kurt would take it.
I’m sure I can deal with your craziness, believe me. I have seen things, and I’m tired. So night night. –Kurt
Well, we will see. Oh ok, have sweet dreams, see ya x –Blaine
