Klaine One Shots

Turn The Lights Down Low

You guys asked for it. Here you go! Badboy!Blaine and Cheerio!Kurt. And oh my god, this is the longest one shot I've ever written, hope this behemoth is good. This title has been taken from the song Lights Down Low by MAX. 

"Move it, freshman," Kurt looks up from his locker at the loud slam of a body colliding with the row of lockers. He rolls his eyes when he sees Karofsky and his squad walking down the hallway, glaring at anybody who tries to get in their way. Kurt watches as the trio of football players walk closer, but unlike his sophomore year, they just glare at him instead of slamming him into the lockers as well. Much has changed for Kurt since sophomore year two and a half years ago, and it was all because of the uniform he wore now. 

He joined the Cheerios sophomore year with Mercedes, partly because it gave him more opportunities to shine than the oppressive glee club that seemed to fawn over Rachel. But the longer he wore the uniform, the longer he realized that the jocks were leaving him alone. They continued to give him glares whenever they passed each other in the hallways, but no longer were they shoving him into lockers or throwing slushees at him or tossing him into dumpsters. 

So when Mercedes eventually quit the Cheerios, he stayed on. And he grew closer to Santana and Brittany and Quinn, as well as some of the other girls on the squad, and then some of the other guys too. He grew away from the other kids in glee, especially once Sue started bumping up the intensity, and Kurt has a strong suspicion that it was a ploy to destroy the glee club's chances of winning, seeing as their members were constantly missing rehearsal in order to train with the Cheerios. But the uniform was doing it's job, the jocks were leaving him alone and he was too scared to go back to being known simply as the gay kid in glee club. So when he had to make the choice between going to Sectionals or competing with the Cheerios, Kurt chose the Cheerios, quickly followed by Santana, Brittany, and Quinn. 

Now, two and a half years after that decision, Kurt thinks he made the right one. 

"You'd think with how much Karofsky claims to hate you he'd stop blatantly staring at your ass," Santana states next to him. Kurt rolls his eyes at her comment, used to it and more after  two years on the squad together. 

"I don't know what your obsession with Karofsky is, but he is certainly not staring at my ass. He's not gay, Santana," Kurt states. 

"For someone who's about as straight as a rainbow, you have absolutely no gaydar," she continues, shrugging. Kurt rolls his eyes once more before closing his locker. The two of them walk down the halls to their next class, meeting Brittany halfway there. The two girls immediately lock pinkies, and Kurt sees Santana's usual ice cold bitch glare melt just a little. He wonders how long it will take the two of them to get their heads out of their asses and admit they are more than friends. 

No gaydar my ass, Kurt thinks. The three of them enter their writing composition class, taking the usual seats towards the back. The three of them have sat together all semester, and three seats are usually open. Two of them are, but Kurt's seat in between them is currently occupied. He glares at the person sitting in his seat, his feet popped up on the empty desk in front of him. His leather jacket fit snugly over broad shoulders, and his arms were crossed over his chest. His head was tilted back against the chair like he was sleeping, but Kurt could see his eyes were open, staring straight ahead at the ceiling in boredom. 

Blaine Anderson. 

Anderson was a transfer student coming in a little more than halfway through last year, and according to rumors, he was kicked out of his previous two schools for fighting. The rumors also state that he's been to juvie, but since Kurt no longer associates himself with any of the glee club, he can't go up and talk to Noah Puckerman to confirm. They also state he's gay, but Kurt doesn't believe that rumor. If he believed those rumors, about half the boys in this school would also be gay.
