Chapter 2
Kurt woke up before his alarm and sighed. He couldn't remember what he had been dreaming exactly, but there was something in his gut that told him it wasn't good. Normally his dreams were full of Blaine. Ever since he met the older singer it was as though he was all there was. Moving to Dalton and being in his arms every day had made Kurt complete, second day apart and he was wondering just why he'd chosen to do this. He'd gotten out of hell, and now he was back in the flames.
“Always one for the dramatics,” He whispered to himself. His first day hadn't been that bad and he knew that. He was just over exaggerating, he put it down to having an unsettled sleep and got up. He started his morning skin care routine and busied himself and his thoughts away from the day ahead. He made his way up to the kitchen and smiled at his father. “Hey dad.”
“Hey Son.” Burt beamed at him. Kurt walked around to the side of the kitchen his father stood and hugged him. Burt smiled, wrapping an arm around him and hugging him back. “Are you enjoying being home?”
“I am, Dad.” Kurt whispered. “It's just going to take some time for it to hit.”
“Well when it does hit, and you feel like you need to go back there, you know you have me here on your side, and you have Carol and Finn and the rest of your Glee club.”
“I know, Dad.” Kurt smiled. “Thank you for being so understanding.”
“What's to understand? You're my Son, and I love you. Unconditionally.” Kurt nods slowly and wraps his arms around him tighter before pulling away. “Breakfast?”

Kurt walked with Finn through the corridors, he didn't care that Finn was walking beside Rachel and they were making those sick puppy love eyes at each other, he still wasn't quite ready to walk down the corridors on his own. When he's alone he'll be an easy target and walking with the quarter back seemed to protect him. Protect him and make him feel quite sick.
“Hey Kurt...” Kurt didn't think he ever felt so relieved to hear his Glee teachers voice call his name. He told Finn he'd see him later, though he didn't think the taller boy actually heard him. “You looked like you needed an escape route.”
“Oh you know, there's just so much of 'Are you sure my voice sounded perfect singing in that note?' I can hear from Rachel.” Kurt smiled rolling his eyes. Will chuckled and started to walk, Kurt automatically fell into step next to him. “If you're not busy today do you think maybe we could start the Spanish sessions today?”
“Of course.” Will smiled. “After Glee?”
“I'll be there.” Kurt grinned, relieved that he was going to get help.
“And we can talk about how you're adjusting back to life here.”
“I've been here for little over a day, I doubt there will be much to say on that subject, but yes, we can.” Kurt said softly, he didn't want to roll his eyes at his teacher, he knew he was only trying to help.
“Are you still a bit scared in the hallways on your own?” Will asked softly. Kurt bit his lip, he wanted to say no that walking in the hallways was fine, but he knew that would be lying. Deep down he was. “I'll walk you to your next class, then I'll come and get you.”
“You don't have to...” Kurt didn't want to feel as though he was being babysat. He was a big boy, he could walk around on his own.
“Kurt, it's going to take some time to get used to being back. If you don't feel comfortable walking on your own, I don't mind walking with you.”
“Are you sure?” Kurt whispered, looking down.
“Of course I am. Now, what's the first lesson of the day?”
“History, but I need to go to my locker first.”
“Lead the way.” Will smiled, patting his shoulder softly.
Kurt walked towards his locker and smiled softly when he felt Will stand next to him. If he really didn't mind then neither did Kurt. “So, how are things with Blaine?” Kurt frowned at the question, he looked up to see Will staring at the picture he'd put back in his locker, with the same inspiring word underneath 'Courage'.
“They're really good.” Kurt smiled, he could already feel his cheeks blushing.
“I'm glad, he treats you well right?” Kurt nodded, not too sure what to say. Blaine treated him like a prince, and around him he actually felt like one. “I'm happy for you, Kurt. Really.”
“Thank you.” Kurt whispered, he didn't know why his teachers words got to his heart so much. He looked up at him and grabbed his books and told him that he was all set to go.
“Is anyone from Glee in your class?” Will asked as they started to walk again.
“Mercedes and Artie.” Kurt said.
“That's good, so you'll have someone to talk to?”
“I guess, but I'll just get on with the work. At Dalton if you even made to cough in a class it was detention.”
“Must be odd being back here where the rules are...”
“Non existent?”
“I was going to say slack, but well yeah.” Will chuckled.
“It's odd yes.” Kurt sighed. “The works harder there, and here it's a bit of a breeze.”
“If you're finding some of your subjects here too easy, I could see about getting you some advanced work?”
“You... Really?”
“I'll look into it for you.” Will smiled.
“Thanks.” Kurt whispered, he looked around and saw that they were at his class, he felt a pang in his heart, he didn't want to stop walking and talking to him.
“So I'll see you in two hours, try not to fall asleep.” Will grinned. Kurt nodded, smiling brightly at him before walking into the class.

Kurt slouched down on the table as Will started to explain to him what they had been doing in Spanish, he smiled when Will made little jokes about verbs and nouns and he'd never felt so relaxed whilst learning. Will helped him with his home work and Kurt felt relieved that he didn't have that to worry about.
“So, I spoke to Figgins about getting you some advanced work. He's all for it, mainly because having those grades on report here would look amazing for the school, but whatever the reason he's going to get you the work for Monday. How does that sound?”
“Great.” Kurt smiled. He really did have trouble staying awake in History and he'd even started to plan out outfits for the next month (Of course he already had this months planned out). “I'm not the only student here who thinks the curriculum is too easy, why...why are you making a fuss for me?” Kurt asked, it was something he wanted to ask since Will had suggested it.
“Because I know how great you are, and I know that you can do it.” Will said softly, his hand reaching out and squeezing Kurt's arm softly, a touch that sent shivers down his spine.
“Thank you.” Kurt whispered looking down, he didn't really know what to say.
“So I think we're all done here with Spanish. Other then the lessons being a bit boring, how are you doing here?”
“Okay.” Kurt shrugged. “I'm just... I'm scared that something is going to happen.”
“Something with Dave?” Kurt inwardly flinched at the name and Will noticed. “If he or anyone else says or does anything to you, I want you to come to me straight away okay?”
“I will.”
Will nodded and stared at his student intently. “What are your plans for the rest of the evening then?”
“Homework?” Kurt shrugged. “I don't know, phone Blaine.”
“Well have a nice evening.” Will smiled. “I'll see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.” Kurt smiled, standing up and grabbing his bags.

“So Wes and David miss you.” Blaine sighed down the phone. “Apparently Warbler meetings aren't as exciting without you.”
“Well they do lack a bit of fabulosity without me.” Kurt chuckled. “I miss them too. I miss the Warblers. Glee club here hasn't changed. Rachel's always moaning about wanting all the solo's, and the real talents just sitting in the back light as always.”
“The real talent being you?”
“Not just me.” Kurt grinned. “Santanna has an amazing voice and she isn't being given the chance, and Brit, and Mercy.”
“Maybe you should talk to your teacher about it? You said you two were close.”
“We're not close.” Kurt frowned.
“You said he walks you to every class, that's pretty close, Kurt.”
“I guess.” Kurt frowned, he hadn't really thought about it.
“So talk to him, I'm sure a few strong words from you will make him think.”
“I will.” Kurt smiled. “I have to go, I have a lot of homework.”
“Okay, I'll talk to you later cutie.” Blaine chuckled knowing Kurt would be blushing.
“Bye Blaine.” Kurt sighed dreamily and ended the call, he stared at the homework in front of him and sighed.
That night he went to sleep thinking about his teacher, and wondering just how close they were.
