The Other Hummel

Working Class

"More oatmeal, honey?"

"Thanks, I'm fine. But Kurt; sit down. There's something I've been whiling to ask you."

As breakfast was the only meal they were sure to have together; it also became Kurt and Blaine's time to share things and catch up on each other's lives. Kurt sat down and squeezed Blaine's hand encouraging him to go on.

"Is something going on with Louisa or she simply have a problem with me?"

Kurt pursed his lips and took a deep breath before answering:

"Yes and yes. She has some issues she doesn't like to talk about and she's not that into you. But I'm afraid you'll have to gain her trust to settle things with her. She'd kill me if I told you anything."

Blaine sighed:

"I try to reach for her but she doesn't let me. I mean; she's always polite and friendly, but she's always so distant..."

Kurt shrugged:

"That's Louisa. You see, Blee; Louisa is that kind of person that looks tough on the outside but is really soft. She has her problems as I had mine. She has put on all those walls to protect herself and the only way of letting them down is to gain her trust. Once she does; she's the best of friends. She was the first person I came out to."

Blaine had moist eyes:

"Kurt! I never knew your relationship was so deep. That's beautiful. I was never this close to Cooper or with any of my cousins to come out to them. My first experience was telling my parents and...you know that didn't end well."

"Oh honey; I wish you had. It'd have been so much easier for you. Anyway, I find it very cute that you are so interested in getting to know my cousin. Give her time and she'll warm up to you. I'll see if I can talk to her. For now, you have me to help you with whatever you need."

Kurt got up from his sit and went to sit on Blaine's lap; engaging in their first make-up section of the day.

Kurt and Blaine entered NYADA and saw Louisa having coffee with a chubby grumpy girl Kurt knew to have been one of Adam's Apples and who took a few classes with him. They bought coffees for themselves and joined the girls.

"Hi boo."

Louisa looked up smiling:

"Hey pumpkin! Guys, let me introduce you; this is Maggie Cooper, my roommate. Maggie, those are Kurt Hummel, my cousin, and his boyfriend Blaine Anderson."

After the traditional handshakes, Kurt and Blaine joined them at the table. Maggie looked at Kurt:

"We know each other, right? You are a sophmore like me; we share some classes."

Kurt nodded and smiled. Blaine gave one more attempt at being friendly with Louisa:

"So, Louisa, did you solve your problems with Cassandra? Can I count on seeing you in class this week?"

She sighed:

"Well, it wasn't easy but it's solved. According to the rulebook she has to accept me in her class; which she's absolutely not pleased about. However, as a punishment, now I have to work for her and she's making sure I won't have an easy time. Anyway, I guess it could have been worse. The only thing that bugs me is that it makes things harder to find a paid job."
