Nobody Loves Me Like You Do

Chapter 5: Moving to Dalton

 My alarm goes off and I pull myself out of bed. Normally I wouldn't wake up this late, all last night I was tossing and turning, I couldn't stop thinking about the dapper hazel-eyed boy. Waking up at 6:00 instead of 5:00 means that I have to cut my face moisturizing routine in half. Don't judge me, as an actor my skin is like the paintbrush and the canvas. Look at practically any star, do they have dry skin? Acne? Scars?

After showering and styling my hair in the perfect coif I start to pack my bags for the upcoming move this afternoon. My uniform arrived yesterday, I put it on and look through my accessories trying to see if there was a little something I could add to the much too professional look without getting caught. I spot a small bird pin. Once I am finished perfecting my look I pull out a rather large suitcase, I fold the other clothes provided by the academy and stow them away neatly. I take a few posters down off my walls and put some pictures in the suitcase as well. I scan my room looking to see if there is anything I might be forgetting, my polaroid camera, there are so many memories that have come from the small device, and many more to be printed.

8:00 great. I go downstairs to surprise my family with breakfast. Dad doesn't go into work until about 8:30 so he should be coming down any minute. I take out the ingredients to make my father a breakfast burrito to go, I make Finn pancakes, and Carol a yogurt parfait. To be honest, I feel a bit guilty, today before I leave I have to stop by the choir room to tell them that I will be leaving, moving into dorms at Dalton means that I won't be able to care for Dad as much.

"Morning," Dad mumbles, he still needs to have his coffee.

"Good morning! Here is a breakfast burrito and your coffee," I hand his meal over to him. "Are you going to work today? You aren't even dressed." I acknowledge flipping a pancake.

He takes a sip of the caffeine, "Are you kidding? I gotta help you move into that new school of yours. Make sure that it'll fit you well."

"Dad, you don't have to do that! I was perfectly fine with settling in on my own, I mean it's not like I'm moving out of state."

"Well, I know that. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna miss you though."

I smile at him. I turn the stove off and take the syrup out of the fridge for Finn who is stumbling down that stairs. I greet him and he grumbles a nonsense response. It's weird, even though he and my father aren't biologically father and son they sure seem like it. Finn needs coffee to fully wake up in the morning. I hand my brother a mug making sure to stir the coffee with hot chocolate mix. He doesn't like coffee plain.

I hand him the mug, "So I'm not going to school today though I am going to say goodbye to everyone and Mr. Schue."

He nods.

"Well, I'm going to go grab my bag," I dismiss myself and jog up to my room.

Just as I reach my door I hear a small ding. I open up the door and pick up my phone that is laying on my desk.

Blaine💕: Good morning! Excited for today?

Kurt: Yes I can't wait, even though I'm gonna miss Mckinley

Blaine💕: Don't worry, you can always visit on weekends

Kurt: You're right, hey I have to stop by the coffee shop before coming, can I get you anything?

I bite my lip wishing I could unsend the text. Is it weird to ask to get someone coffee? Oh gosh, what if he thinks I'm some obsessive weirdo?

Blaine💕: Aww that is very sweet of you! That sounds great, I'll just get a medium drip

Kurt: Perfect see you soon!

I really need to stop panicking about these texts, it always seems to work out fine. I pull my suitcase off of my bed and grab my bookbag. It's not like you are leaving forever. I tell myself. Then why does it feel like I'm never coming back? Something catches my eye, I walk over to my bookshelf and pick up a picture of my Mom and me, I tuck it into my bag and hurry down the stairs. Dad takes my suitcase and puts it in the trunk, I get on the passenger's side and my head falls back on the seat. My father turns on the radio for background and I stare out the window, feeling excited and also incredibly intimidated.

We stop by the Lima Bean and I get the coffees for both Blaine and me. The car slows to a stop in front of the enormous school. I grab my bags and we walk in the front doors of the school. All the students are bustling around, chatter among them about the Warblers, I spot Blaine at the bottom of the stairs. I tap him on the shoulder.

"Excuse me, um hi, can I ask you a question? I'm new here," I say pretending that I don't know him.

He laughs, "Kurt! Aww thank you, you really didn't have to get me coffee, although I totally needed it."

"Of course," I hand him his cup. "Seriously though, what is going on?"

"The Warblers are throwing an impromptu performance in the Library, come on! I'll show you to your room after," Blaine explains.

I glance up at my Dad and he shoes me away telling me that he will talk to the Dean and put my bags in my room. Blaine takes my hand and pulls me through the halls of the Academy telling me something about knowing a shortcut. Everything seems to be going in slow motion, all I can focus on is the feeling of Blaine's hand holding mine. We arrive at the library and Blaine excuses himself to sing.

I am completely starstruck, I clap my hands wildly. I smile at him, ever since I've met Blaine I haven't been able to stop smiling. It's a nice change. After his brilliant performance he shows me where the dorms are, he takes out a key and unlocks the door for us. My Dad is there sitting on the bed reading one of the magazines I brought.

"Hey, how was the show?" Dad asks.

I laugh, "It's was great, Blaine was amazing!"

Blaine blushes a bit, "Aww, it really wasn't anything, just a warm-up for sectionals really. I know it's far away but we mine as well start prepping early."

We smile at each other. I unpack my bags with the help of my Dad and Blaine. I walk my Dad out to the front of the school and hug him tightly assuring him that I will call him on Wednesdays and come back for weekends. After bidding my father farewell I head back up to my dorm. I unlock the door and am met with a pleasant sight of Blaine shirtless, pretending I didn't see him although I can hardly tear my eyes away I take my pajamas into the bathroom and change. I lay on my bed and pull out a book I'm reading. Blaine shuts the lights off and we say goodnight, I can already tell that this is going to be a great change for me.
