Sam coughed, gaining a smirk from everyone, and breaking the eye contact and holding of hands between Kurt and Blaine. Kurt instinctively pulled his hand away as he had previously that day and looked at his feet, the red tint now painted across his whole face. Blaine on the other hand just seemed to blink and shake his head as if coming out of a daydream before looking from the blushing boy to the group behind him.

"What?" Blaine asked nonchalantly, as if he was unaware that he and Kurt had just been staring at each other for almost two minutes straight.

"Nothing" Sam smirked, shaking his head, the others giggled with him and Quinn and Santana, who had made their way to Kurt, were nudging the poor boy on each shoulder causing his blush to darken before he eventually shrugged them off and stormed back into the studio, the door swinging shut and slamming behind him.

"Oooh" Santana said teasingly before laughing with Quinn and Brittany about his actions.

Blaine was about to ask them something when the sound of a women clearing her throat echoed in the small hallway. They all turned around to see a woman in her, Blaine presumed, late twenties or early thirties due to her youthful features not knowing that she was actually in her late thirties as she stood with a hand on her hip and her brows furrowed as she leaned more on her right leg. From her attire Blaine presumed she was the ballet teacher.

"Girls, say goodbye to the boys and Tina, and head into the studio to warm up please" she instructed, walking towards them, "I imagine Kurt is already in there" she added, peering through the glass in the door and, not to her surprise, seeing the boy at the bar although, she had to admit, he looked more distracted than usual.

The girls waved their goodbyes and did as told, the teacher following suit and closing the door gently behind her.

"Well, guess we can officially give you the tour now" Mike suggested as he swung an arm around Tina's shoulder, pulling her close and giving her a kiss on the side of her forehead which she giggled at.

"Yeah, okay" Blaine agreed half-heartedly, he wanted the tour sure but, he also wanted to make sure Kurt was okay, he left so suddenly. Again.

At this point, Blaine was starting to think that Kurt just didn't like him which made his heart ache though, he didn't understand why. After all, he'd just met the boy, why should he care so much about what he thinks or feels about him?

Blaine followed Sam with Mike and Tina walking behind them, sharing secret kisses and whispering to each other.

During the "unofficial official tour of the academy", as Sam had called it, Blaine was shown the main reception, a waiting room - for parents of the younger kids, the changing rooms - two for boys and two for girls in different halves of the building, the ballet studio (although, that was just Sam's excuse to let Blaine see Kurt and the girls dancing and, he was satisfied with the result as Blaine ended up staring at Kurt the whole time they walked past). After, he was shown the other main studios; the jazz, the tap - where they dropped of Tina for her lesson -, the contemporary/lyrical one and finally, the street dance one.

"And finally, the best studio of the whole academy!" Sam boasted as he tugged on his shirts collar, "The street dance studio!!" he smiled as he pushed the doors open, allowing Blaine to walk in first.

The studio was relatively large and had the same wooden flooring as many of the other studios however, unlike most of the other studios, that were painted in singular and neutral colours, this one was painted wildly with splashes of numerous colours spread on the wall in different shapes, patterns and even some words. As he looked around, he saw that the door had been painted black and on it, multiple names in different colours and handwriting.

"What's that?" Blaine asked, gesturing to the name littered door.

"Ahh, a man of culture" Sam joked earning a nudge from Mike in an attempt to get him to talk properly.

"That's our dancer's door" Sam said simply earning a questioning look from Blaine, "Oh, uh basically, anyone who's graduated from this studio gets to choose a paint and write their name on the door, sort of a tradition" he elaborated with a smile as he remembered some of the past students.

Blaine nodded, too amazed to form words. The idea was so unique but, he was surprised by how little names were on there, in fact, he couldn't count more than twenty-seven names.

'How could a studio this big be so unsuccessful?' he wondered as he continued to stare at the door, rereading and recounting the names.

However, he was brought out of his thoughts when a hand tapped him on the shoulder before Sam gestured for him to follow. Blaine looked once more at the door before he shrugged it off and joined Sam and Mike at the benches, talking and joking around as they waited for their teacher to come and their lesson to start.
