Kurt gasped as Blaine lightly pulled him down the corridor, his hand never leaving the other boy's. Had Blaine really just said that- that he was proud? Why would he be? Kurt was a nobody and certainly didn't deserve Blaine's kindness. Did he mean it? Only his dad had ever told him that along with his mother.
"You ready?" Kurt looked up, puzzled, realising they had come to a stop outside a deep, cherry coloured door with an intriguingly patterned archway overhead. Dalton clearly had hired a very good interior decorator. "They're just through here." Taking a deep breath, the chestnut haired boy nodded shyly, inwardly bracing himself for the onslaught he was sure to come. He briefly wondered why he had allowed Blaine to introduce him to them, but quickly stopped that thought by gripping the teen's hand tighter as Blaine slowly pushed open the entrance to the room, displaying four boys sat on irresistibly comfortable looking sofas, arguing profusely about a film.
Kurt was shocked when he saw them, he didn't like loud noises since that day when- nope, Kurt couldn't think about that, especially right now. Suddenly, it crossed his mind what the other boys might think by him holding Blaine's hand, he didn't want them being homophobic around him already. Kurt hurriedly tried to undo their joined fingers but Blaine, guessing what Kurt was attempting to do, merely squeezed Kurt's gently, wordlessly reminding the timid boy that he was safe.
"I'm the one with the gavel and I saw we're watching the jellyfish documentary, it looks interesting."
"Wes, we don't want to hear about them and their lost anus'!"
"Yeah, I agree with Nick. We've been forced to watch your precious documentaries to much, I vote we watch Jaws instead."
"David, Jaws is practically a documentary itself!" Wes defended, "it's a film about sharks' feeding patterns and how they can change due to humans with just a few added special effects."
"Blaine!" Jeff shouted suddenly, interrupting the loud squabble and running over to the doorway, hugging his friend. "And..?"
"Guys, this is Kurt, my new roommate. Kurt this is Jeff, Nick, Wes and David." Kurt let out a small breath he had been unknowingly holding in thankful Blaine hadn't elaborated much on who he was.
"Oh hello Kurt," grinned Jeff, pulling a surprised Kurt into an energetic hug. Kurt tensed as the arms wrapped around him and he heard Blaine take an audible gasp beside him. Kurt was startled to find he didn't mind it though, Jeff reminded him undeniably of Brittany: both people he could tell from a glance wouldn't hurt a fly. However, this still didn't stop a strangled wince creeping up his throat. If Jeff noticed though, he didn't show it, keeping the friendly smile on his face as he skipped over to another boy Kurt recognized as Nick, and lovingly gave him a tiny kiss him on the cheek. To Kurt's amazement, none of the boys sat around them looked disgusted at them or acted like there was anything out of the ordinary. What was happening? They were in Ohio!
"Hey Kurt," Nick said tentatively, after giving his boyfriend a kiss in return, "I'm sorry for not meeting you for dinner. I got distracted and it was my fault." Kurt smiled at Nick, letting him know he was forgiven- Kurt didn't feel he could manage anything more, he was reeling at the unexpected yet welcome apology and glanced at Blaine, seeking reassurance.
"Nice to meet you Kurt," said Wes next, "I'm sure Blaine has told you a lot about me, I'm one third of the warbler council. The Warblers are our acapella singing group, but again, I'm sure Blaine told you about that?" All of a sudden, the dapper boy holding Kurt's hand began to have a coughing fit, distracting Kurt so he'd turn to face him and, doing so, Blaine shot him a meaningful look. After checking he was definitely okay, Kurt turned back to Wes, nodding his head to agree with the other teen and silently crossing his free fingers discreetly behind his back.
